every one of those 20 million folks was already going to vote democrat.

here’s my stat. Inflation is at a 41 year high, with the highest year over year inflation ever for food, gas up over 100%.

here’s another stat. in poll after poll, americans say inflation is ther number one concern. Nobody mentions January 6th, because trump is a private citizen and not impacting our lives currently ( except, of course, the lives of those deranged with obsession with him).

whose stat is goin to matter on election day?

you’re right, it will get better. For the gop. gas prices will be north of $5.50 before they come down, and the Fed had absolutely no
choice but to raise interest rates drastically, which will help inflation eventually but will also almost certainly put us in to a recession

i’m holding a flush. You’re holding a pair of 3’s.

Nobody other that hard core lefties, will be thinking about january 6th in november. Nobody.

I cannot wait until november. I already took a vacation day, the day after the election, so i can stay up all night drinking and watching msnbc and cnn.

And after Election Day the GOP is going to do nothing with the economy they are going to do nothing to help the American people like they are doing before the midterms .

Than their going to have bogus hearing daily just to rally and feed you and the rest of the mindless base with fantastic fantasy’s ! who will believe every word all while still paying high gas prices yelling Biden until 2024

PS you do understand Food prices are directly related to the price of Oil

Which the big oil you love refuses to increase production! Telling you lies which you soak up like a sponge

And repeat whenever their critiqued

spoke like True radicalized Cult Member and less than an American concerned about democracy in the United States

You sound like Trump response to what his daughter said on tape

She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).”

And Trump says Ivanka Trump doesn't understand elections after she disowned his claim that the 2020 vote was stolen


Ivanka Trump said she accepted what Barr said. She didn’t say she studied it

seems a lot of Trump supporters can’t accept the whole picture of what lead up to Jan 6th

denialism is a cancer in the GOP , When you see and hear and read text messages and still say

Nobody other that hard core lefties, will be thinking about january 6th in november. Nobody.

No Jim it’s only the hard core Trumplicans who don’t care what happened , be a good sheep and don’t look up

you got a poll that shows americans cable anywhere near as much about january 6th, as they care about inflation?

i’m reacting to what’s actually happening. you can only see what you wish was happening, which is why you picked the right party to support.

I’m “in denial” because i say americans care more about the economy. yup. that’s me.

Can’t wait until november. that will tell us who’s in denial, and who had a grasp of reality.

I see Jim who claims to be a “constitutional conservative” muttering about how some people are so hung up on the Constitutional transfer of power and honoring oaths of office when there are more important issues people care about like the price of gasoline.

prosecute all of them. what else do you want me
to say? i’ve never said republicans are above the law.

it’s your side which is ignoring the law in allowing protesters outside the homes of supreme court justices, they won’t enforce the law because they agree with what they’re protesting

It doesn’t make me a constitutional anarchist, because i say no one cares about january 6th when they’re dealing with these prices for gas and food. Trump isnt on the ballot this november, so why would january 6th matter anywhere near as much as the fact that Biden is president when the average household is paying hundreds of dollars more per month for the same groceries and gas. and now their 401k balances are dropping.

that’s more immediately critical to anyone not deranged with trump hatred.

anyone who broke the law, should
be punished. good luck
finding flaws with that.

But you do not think what happened is a concern for Democracy and are ignoring the facts being presented

So I doubt you would accept any punishment if any laws were broken

It would be explained away as a partisan witch hunt anyway..

Can’t wait to see the judiciary’s committee under Jim Jordon the man who refused to comply with a lawful congressional subpoena..

I bet fauci is on his hit list

In the space of 60 seconds, McCarthy was asked five times whether President Biden’s win in the 2020 election was legitimate. Each time, he declined to answer — saying merely that Biden is the president, while not addressing the “legitimate” part — and claiming he had answered the question.

Why is that?

As we will find out the conspiracy was not limited to Trump.

Fox News didn’t just let Tucker Carlson do his regular show, they aired it without commercials. They want to push his propaganda so much that they are leaving money on the table to do it.

Carlson went the whole hour without a break, Fox is so desperate to keep its viewers from switching to another channel and seeing the hearing in real time.

And why did Chuck Grassley say on January 5th that he would be stepping in for Mike Pence on January 6th?

As far as the Supreme Court goes, why would Cullen vs Coakley not apply to the Supreme Court?

It was truly nefarious of the Democrats to get elected and then force Trump to try to subvert the transfer of power so they could investigate him for it.
If the president or Congress had the power to magically reduce the price of gasoline by $1/gal, then I'd agree they should do that first and then return to the January 6 investigation. In reality, gas prices are determined by a global market, not by governmental fiat (thank God).

The last time that was done, it was by a guy who gave arms and god knows what else to raise the price of oil.

sadly for you, at some point americans care about whether their own lives are getting better or worse under the current party in control ( democrats across the board in DC), more than they care about how big a brat the previous potus was.

if potus could wave a magic wand and reduce gas prices to $1, i don’t believe he’d do it. they need these gas prices to make regular americans even consider renewable energy. They need this to expedite the “incredible evolution” Biden says we’re in the middle of.

Regardless, after two years of liberalism, everybody sees that everybody’s life is astronomically harder and more expensive, and americans will vote accordingly in a few months.

You blamed Trump very specifically for covid, because it happened on his watch. Fine. Now it’s your turn to be on the receiving end of that logic. How’s it feel? Good or bad?

Oil prices are highly prospective, it's a futures market. If Biden said today that we're going to extract every drop of oil god blessed us with, the price would drop significantly.

Your side wants to shift to renewables. No one is interested in renewables when gas is cheap.

Even you can connect those dots.

Trumplicans at the new york times say Biden is an anchor around the necks of the democrat party going into midterms. and that he needs to be cut loose for 2024. and that the january 6th presentation was their last chance to prevent a trouncing in november.

I remember when gas was cheap.

We were locked down and couldn’t go anywhere. None of us had jobs or paychecks, 500,000 died, our leader at that time mused about injecting bleach to stop a virus. Same guy that wanted to date his daughter.

If ain’t perfect yet, just better.

this post should be your epitaph. Encapsulates you beautifully.

He asked about possibly using bleach, because bleach is one of rhe things that kills the virus. He didn’t tell people to drink bleach, he just wondered if there was a way for scientists to figure out how to use it effectively.

We treat cancer very frequently with radiation. Back before it was common, I wonder how you’d have reacted if someone ( especially a republican) suggested that people stricken with cancer, could be cured by injecting radioactive material i to their bodies.

Speaking of which, your guy explicitly said we’re gonna cure cancer if he won. Well, he won. How’s that promise going?

oh and here’s a king tracking has prices. For a couple years before 2020, king before covid had any effect, average price was around $2.50 a gallon. So it’s not all covid fault that gas is now $5.

The Stable Genius and his vast medical knowledge, just one of his many fabulist claims, mislead lots of fools. Between Ivermectin, bleach, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and azithromycin, lots of people suffered unnecessarily.

WDMSO did a good job explaining some of the reasons oil prices are high worldwide, though apparently the socialist side of you approves of government setting prices and manipulating markets.

Oil-producing nations on Sunday agreed to the largest production cut ever negotiated, in an unprecedented coordinated effort by Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States to stabilize oil prices and, indirectly, global financial markets.

Jim who actually reduced global production ! Trump not Biden not democrats Trump along with. Other oil producers made this agreement
That they have been more that willing to stick to..

But keep believing in your fantasy that been hostile (in words alone because you can’t name a single oil restriction this administration has imposed on the oil companies

And don’t mention keystone it wasn’t even being built under Trump

As the reasons they won’t pump more oil. And they are private companies they pump what they want. There is no government control in oil production or pricing. By this Administration. Not so for the last one. They couldn’t make up their minds pump or don’t pump

The group of oil-producing nations known as OPEC Plus agreed on Thursday to a larger increase in supply than planned for July and August. The White House hailed the higher output as a diplomatic breakthrough after months of lobbying Middle East oil giants to raise production to ease price pressures

But but Biden the reason gas is up!
It comical to see conservatives twist actual facts.

Another example

Ron DeSantis, recently tapped one of his allies in the Florida House to become the new secretary of state.

The new elections chief, Cord Byrd, when asked, he has refused to say Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

The tumult of war and climate breakdown has proved lucrative for the world’s leading oil and gas companies, with financial records showing 28 of the largest producers made close to $100bn in combined profits in just the first three months of 2022.
Buoyed by oil commodity prices that soared following the turmoil caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, major fossil fuel businesses enjoyed a bonanza in the first quarter of the year, making $93.3bn in total profits.
Shell made $9.1bn in profit from January to March, almost three times what it made in the same period last year, while Exxon raked in $8.8bn, also a near threefold increase on 2021.
Chevron upped its profits to $6.5bn and BP reveled in its highest first-quarter profits in a decade, making $6.2bn. Coterra Energy, a Texas-based firm, had the largest relative windfall of the 28 companies, with a 449% increase in profits on last year, to $818m.
The rocketing profits, at a time when inflation has surged in many countries, has prompted several of the companies to return billions of dollars to shareholders via share buybacks and dividends.

Fuel prices: Could I save money driving an electric car?

There are nearly half a million electric cars in the UK, and rising fuel prices have prompted more people to consider making the switch.
The government is banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, a decade earlier than originally planned.

Filling the tank of a 47-litre family hatchback with petrol now costs about £85, or £88 for diesel.
Despite recent energy price increases, charging at home to deliver the equivalent mileage typically costs less than half of that - about £41.

Electric cars are coming they are just another tool in the tool box

Guess you haven’t a clue on what cars and trucks cost in the US

2020 SIERRA 1500 AT4 TRUCK CREW CAB With 25k on it. Is 60k

CERTIFIED
2020 Tesla Model 3
Standard Range Sedan 4D
26,049 miles. 47k

Ps read the article it gives an example of the cost of a charge compared to Gas.

Still have heard of wind solar and hydro? Nuclear power

About 30 percent of the world's electricity comes from renewables


Renewable sources account for 21% of all the electricity generated in the United States.

And climbing..

Jim you cling to fossil fuel like people once clung to the horse and carriages.. not sure if it for practical reasons or nostalgia

still own a tube TV?

wdmso, i have solar panels on my roof, and my next car will be a Sienna hybrid. i like electric cars.

but they are expensive, there aren’t enough of them available, there aren’t anywhere enough charging stations, and not nearly enough electricity once we have all the charging staying we need.

Are you opposed to nuclear? if so, where do you suppose we’re going to get the boatload more electricity we’re doing to need before we move to electric cars?

we are t going to be where we need to be, with wind and solar. we need a lot more.

imo, nuclear is the obvious answer.
