Stated differently, when Brent crude returns to its pre-February 226 price, I will say that the Straait of Hormuz is fully open.

So.. On the 1st of Never then?

It's looking more and more like this is the new normal.

Some things cannot be undone.

Trumpy has two years to figure out how to unravel the mess he has made. At best.

The odds are NOT in his favor.

We told them not to eliminate the Dept of Education.

But did they listen? No!

And now Alaskans can't even read. Apparently.

I don't think it's funny no more!

Crackin up!

Make that Putin

Make that Pootin

Re 4

My first thought is that's silly. That could never happen.

My second thought is, oh crap! That's not silly at all. Because.. No matter how low you can imagine Trumpy going he can imagine going lower.

what other conclusion would it come to?

It could conclude that we are parasites or a virus and that we need to be eradicated.

No RV for you Justice Kagan!

It seems to have a deficiency.

You guys are way too kind.

Dingaling lied again.

He should have googled it to verify what he thought was a fact but it actually was just another fever dream from his biased and Fox News corrupted memory.

But rather than look it up (which is so simple and easy to do) he chose to go with the lie his brain manufactured .. Because of its truthiness.

it's the allure of heaven that is the motivating factor.

Same for Islam is it not?

So you are betting you picked the right God and the right religion so you will go to the right heaven?

I'm betting that's a fools game.

I'm betting that if there are any gods they are just toying with us because ... we are not gods.

But if there really is A God what I'm really betting on is that we are ALL a piece of that God (We are just aspects of God playing hide and seek from ourselves so We dont get bored ) and that we will all return to the "source" no matter what we do.

Will that God be pleased with you if you are an Arse in Life? I'm betting a God would have a perfect solution. Like making you do it over and over until you got it right and finally learned something. Or letting you come a back a few million times as an African dung beetle until you learned some humility.

Re 5

That was for my Canadian friends.

Here is the translation for my American friends:

"Certainly, whoever can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities" or "injustices".

These guys are idiots.

You're gonna take it easy on this woman compared to farmers?

Oh the poor poor farmers!

Direct federal payments to American farmers are projected to reach a record $55.4 billion in total for the 2026 crop year.

If we are really in 51 national emergencies we should at least all be aware of this and probably act like it and not even pretend things are normal. Because they are not. Apparently.

We still have an emergency declaration on the books from 1979.

A lot of the presidential abuse of power is coming from outdated and fake emergency declarations.

As of October 2026, 51 national emergencies are currently active under the National Emergencies Act, and 90 total national emergencies have been declared since the act was passed in 1976.

The oldest active national emergency is about 47 years old, having been declared on November 14, 1979, by President Jimmy Carter in response to the Iran hostage crisis (freezing Iranian government assets under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act). It has been renewed annually by every subsequent president.

Unfortunately any law passed by Congress will be subject to a veto. So figure the odds of any president signing off on it.

Time to end all of the fake emergencies that Trumpy has declared.

This should be one of the first things that the new Congress does.

Wasn't the idea behind the New Green Deal for America become more reliant of renewable energy and less reliant on fossil fuels for this very reason? To reduce any effects of fluctuations in oil prices based on chaos and conflicts somewhere thousands of miles away?

I guess Leftyturd missed all that while screaming about some -ism that he is terrified of.

Re 19

Also ... if we have more oil than before this war of choice when can we expect fuel prices to go down?

As I recall fuel prices immediately went up when this artificial crisis began. So when will they go down?

So yeah. Don't piss on my leg and try to tell me it's just raining.

I'll believe it when I see it.. at the pump.

Re 19

And it is only costing Americans an extra $1-2 billion dollars a day in direct military spending and an untold number of billions in increase consumer costs.. and not to mention creating more chaos in the middle east and a more unstable world.

So. Does it make any sense? Is it sustainable? Not from where I sit.

Not a quote. More like a prayer.

A Navajo Prayer was recently shared with me. It made my day a little brighter and my steps a little lighter.

Now. I am sharing it with you.

Been a while since anyone ------ up the page formatting.

I didn't notice. Because. If you plonk em it fixes the page. AND eliminates the drunk a holes.

Win-win!!

---- you clowns... And the foreign voters... It' taken care of.

And. It will be. "Taken care of..". By serious adults who care about the law and who believe in democracy and who care more about the People than their own fame and glory.

And after Nov 3 and all the maga shenanigans are dealt with ... which could take weeks or months sadly..Accountability is coming.

Hope you haven't lost your Rock. You may need to crawl back under it soon.

As a boomer, my future is looking FAR better than theirs. But I'm much closer to the end of my time.

Gratz on surviving the Churn as long as you have. That in itself is quite an accomplishment.

And I'm betting it didn't happen by complaining
about the previous generation or a lot of magical thinking.

I'm betting that in the PAST you had to make some sacrifices and put in the work and blood sweat and tears and maybe some actual planning and saving for the FUTURE that is providing you with the lifestyle you are enjoying in the NOW.

Come on ya'll. Pick another protein!

Leftyturd is so bummed!

This must be good news for democracy.

Re 13

Let ME guess.. YOU think the freedom caucus and Trumpy and the cult of MAGA are edgy and cool.
