LOL pedoringer acting as if he has a clue about journalistic standards.

What an a&&.

It's always someone else's fault

You mean like you dumbf*&^s constantly blaming Biden?

Even when it's a direct effect from Trump's bumbling policies, you still bleat about Biden.

BTW the pandemic inflation was likely exacerbated by...Trump.

How? Through his OPEC agreement to slash production to increase prices.

Will the OPEC production cut make inflation worse?

Likely yes. Brent crude should reach $100 per barrel by December, says Jorge Leon, senior vice president at Rystad Energy. That is up from an earlier prediction of $89.

Part of the 2 million-barrel-per-day cut is only on paper as some OPEC+ countries aren't able to produce their quota. So the group can deliver only about 1.2 million barrels a day in actual cuts.

That's still going to have a "significant" effect on prices, Leon said.

"Higher oil prices will inevitably add to the inflation headache that global central banks are fighting, and higher oil prices will factor into the calculus of further increasing interest rates to cool down the economy," he wrote in a note.

Long Island has turned into a MAGA s*&^hole, so it's no surprise to see he's from there.

He'll never win in NYS. This is about as newsworthy as the sun rising in the east.

We gladly settle for less than half the inflation Biden brought us.

Except Biden didn't "bring" it, dips*&^. Do you really have zero ability to think beyond basic temporal associations?

And our president didn't compromise national security by selling off the SPR's to leverage midterms.

Ummmm yes he did and still is...

Never, with Republicans in office.

I don't know about you, but I don't base my behavior on the poor behavior of others.

But maybe that's just me...

So when do we find out about the recently acquired stakes Don and Erik have taken in brand new companies that are given significant no bid contracts to build these ridiculous piles of s*&^?

It doesn't surprise me that pedoringer is well versed in ----------.

Is anyone surprised that the bottom of our societal barrel, MAGA, is orchestrating our own decline?

Wait until they start turning on their fellow citizens as they lash out in order to avoid acknowledging this.

They didn't even protect the troops themselves under Hegseth. They took the initial barrages in unfortified trailers without sufficient warning.

His Iran deal was a disaster. Flew them pallets of cash in the middle of the night, for starters. Obama is recognizing he's becoming irrelevant and it pisses him off. It's why he's constantly spouting off of late.

The only thing that is increasingly irrelevant is your opinion.

MAGA really does make you stupid.

Only one takeaway is important - Trump got clowned.

He was cucked like only an impotent, bloated bag of spray tanned s*&^ like him could be cucked.

And he knows it too, which is why he tucked tail and ran early.

MAGA morons are addicted to rage and victimhood. Suffering the consequences of Trump's ineptitude just feeds that and they're more than happy to misdirect it towards "--------" and those people.

Just raising the minimum wage would jack inflation and jolt the economy, unless it was done over time. That's not something that the Dems are capable of IMO.

Green New Deal doesn't have a viable path forward as far as I can currently tell. Sure you can restart subsidies for alternative energy projects/companies, but at what point does "throw money we don't have at the problem" stop being the preferred approach?

"Universal healthcare, free college, a living wage, ending the wars, ending the corruption, taxing the rich, green new deal, jobs guarantee, UBI"

All well and good but none of those have plausible routes to get there.

I don't want to hear a dream, pie in the sky end, I want to hear how it's going to supposedly actually happen.

If you're ignoring a candidate's ability to pull in a majority in 30 states, accounting for almost 60% of the electoral vote, then you're living in lala land.

Which can be done entirely by looking at popular vote numbers while still ignoring the EC tally.

The EC is a filter that doesn't add any new information to what the raw vote tallies already tell you.

They don't have to do that either. I'm sure you know that.

Well, they're not going to spontaneously combust if they don't.

But they should. Anybody stupid enough to vote for Trump in 2024 shouldn't be allowed to vote and should just STFU about anything politics. They clearly lack the ability to judge a person's character and fit for office.

I said Harris was God-awful and was an even worse choice.

#71 | Posted by BellRinger

Yeah, and you are objectively a f*&^ing moron.

Of course, he did.

This entire administration is a money grab. That's it.

I'm starting to think they're not even interested in long term authoritarian rule.

They plan on maintaining control just long enough to maximize money extraction before they transfer all their ill gotten gains offshore and follow it before they can cuffed.

Putin's b*&^% strikes again.

Is everyone who works for Trump a sexual deviant?

#10 | Posted by johnny_hotsauce

Probably. Trump is one of the world's biggest sexual deviants and predators.

........ as if the dems have anything to offer.

The status quo would have been far, far preferable to our current mess.

You're a stupid pile of s*&^ who gets their views from social media memes, so I don't really expect you to understand that.

My car is much more fun to drive.

The problem with out electorate in a nutshell.

You realize the world you're handing off to your children's generation is a pile of s*&^ because of your self-absorbed, indulgent shortsighted stupidity, right?

So I cover for him every chance I get until I don't. Got it!

#28 | Posted by BellRinger

Your shtick is well known at this point, pedoringer.

When the administration proposes an idea or something happens the first time, you give a mealy mouthed "disagreement."

You then later support every instance of it happening with some vague cop out on why it's really not that bad.

You do it constantly and have been called out for it repeatedly.

You cover for Trump every chance you get.

And deflect and deny and downplay.
