My personal goal is to make it through this situation--and for a time following--without an enemy sympathizer/jihadist deciding that one of the refineries right outside my back door is as good a place as any to create some pain. Sorry. But, I don't trust the rent-a-cops to guard my ham sandwich.

Yes. Like I said, the divisions are making bad games in the finals.

My personal belief is the 'new leader' is merely a puppet for the IRGC. As I said when this started, air power alone will not get rid of them. They have nothing to lose as they have no place they can go that would be safe for them, and no country is going to take them willingly.

I hope so. House dems are notorious for blocking everything. We’ll see.

Pretty much the same. A couple of good games I think.

I hate to say it, but he'd be really impressive if he actually knew what he was talking about. In the distillation process of oil, lighter gases are drawn first. Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel is last. It's the dregs. Diesel is always more expensive because of the extra processing it takes to make it ULSD (required by him & his cohorts in government) for pollution control. Most gasoline stations aren't owned by the oil companies. Haven't been for decades. They set their prices based on their supplier's cost forecasts. Their suppliers (jobbers) are the middlemen. Typically, not the oil companies unless it's one of the few stations that are still company owned. The price of fuel rises before people think it should because the station owner doesn't want to go negative on their balance sheet when they have to purchase their next load. The oil in the pipeline is a load of crap as well. The oil is at a terminal. There are limited number of terminals, and pipelines connect the country and some refineries. There are a limited number of refineries, and not all refineries can refine every type of crude. Some states have no capability to receive crude via pipeline, nor a refinery to process it. When the gas in your tank was bought depends on the turnover of product at the service station where you filled up. Oil refining is the 2nd lowest margin business out there behind grocery. Both have margins below 5%. Most of the cost we pay are actually taxes and fees. Seems like a nice fella'. Just needs to get his info correct where he can be taken seriously. He should have talked with someone with experience in the business before spouting the 'company line' of price gouging. If he was serious about cutting the cost of gasoline and diesel, he'd be for providing a tax holiday for however long the price per barrel is elevated because of the Iran conflict. THAT would be the largest, quickest, and easiest way to provide a discount and benefit the consumer.

Are you already crying about what you think might happen? Chill man.. let’s see if it actually gets killed first. Then you can resume foaming at the mouth

It should breeze through the house.

Yup

Can someone explain what is our goal? Oh wait you can’t. We just have to wait 2 more weeks for the perfect plan to be perfectly completed. And we’ll know because our perfect leader will tell us

2 more weeks he says!

Oh look another w-w-w-what about Biden argument lol

Waste of money and a distraction...

We have been in this for I believe a little over two weeks. The leader can't or won't come out of hiding (I'm not blaming him,. the fact he likes being alive) - For all we know he may be dead. Reports are that he is injured, I've not ever read once Iran has top notch health care..... I'll reassess at 30 days.

Anybody wanna bet the house kills this affordability bill? Then all the dems can cry about how Trump hasn’t followed through on affordability when they’re the ones sitting on their hands.

Didn't hear much from the left in 2022........

Correct me if I’m wrong but last year was pretty much the same?

Not me, not so much. I saw him on Colbert and his take on us being a “Christian nation” was spot on. We’re not a Christian nation… we’re a nation where you’re free to be a Christian…. Or not. You can be an atheist, agnostic, Muslim… anything you want. The idea that the far right has the authority to force their religious beliefs on everyone is quite simply, not right. We’re not a theocracy, even if that’s what the far right wants. My hope is that Republicans getting destroyed in the general election will cause a lot of people to rethink their blind support of whoever smooches trumps behind the longest or best. Kinda like when the Tea Party fad died a painful death.

Gone be a rough time ahead... Trump 2028 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Smh

Smh

What the heck is a “left” company? Do you not see how screwed up it is that politicize the marketplace? Companies are in business to make a profit, not casts vote.

To keep DHS closed. Don’t worry about sleeper cells. They’ll just go away. Sleep tight. [Hidden Content]

These two state championship games shows that divisions in basketball is not a good thing. Two blowouts. Jayton/Turkey Valley would have been a much much better game.
