Waiting to hear how she shot herself in the back of the head six times before the immolation

What does someone in Maine get out of this?

Well, if you’re a fascist…

Get armed. Rice and beans, and generally about 2 weeks of food and water.

Maine lugging around a record number of “Fell For It Again” awards with that POS senator.

But better still is anyone who believed the “You need 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate” line we’ve been swallowing since Clinton.

When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal

I’m not going to explain the oil trade

To someone who works in it and sees the price figures every day?

I would love to see you try

Okay, but a bunch of highly paid lobbyists just showed up to bribe and browbeat us into caving immediately

US oil which costs 25x+ Saudi crude

West Texas Crude does not cost 25x Saudi Crude. Neither is it the primary US importer.

Saudi Arabian imports dropped to roughly 336,000–349,000 barrels per day (bpd) by 2023–2024, down from over one million bpd in previous years. Meanwhile, Canada is the largest supplier, accounting for roughly 55-61% of U.S. imports, followed by Mexico.

MAGA voters are not as numerous as anyone thinks they are.

The way liberals phrase it, MAGA is everyone who doesn’t vote straight ticket Dem after every election

I’m sure a few of them hate watched it.

Although, a big part of Talarico’s appeal is his method of seizing on conservative tulpas and twisting them to progressive ends.

If Talarico has a shot at the general, it’s going to be thanks to some number of MAGA voters buying into left populism. A bunch of the interview is just Talarico sayings he’s Christian and asking WWJD about education, health care, and immigration.

Why even be president if you can’t get weird with it?

It’s been something of a round-robin of oligarch friendly presidents year by year since Park’s assassination in '79.

That might be part of the problem.

So, funny story, this is the sixth South Korean President to come under indictment.

Almost every living former leader since the 1980s has been jailed, marking a pattern of post-presidential legal proceedings

Cool that these officials do get prosecuted. But maybe we should consider how they get elected to begin with.

Oil companies could actually use a boost right now. And the US is a net exporter.

Something was that the less expensive the car, the better it was on fuel economy, seems logical once you think about it.

Nobody (expecting to win) is street racing a Volt or a Prius, to be sure.

So there’s little incentive to cheat emissions standards in order to juice performance.

While most hybrids are said to use one to two litres of fuel per 100km, a study claims they need six litres on average

I can say from personal experience that my Chevy Volt gets around 40-60mpg when it kicks over to gas. That said, it rarely does, because my daily commute comfortably inside the battery’s range.

Until now it has been claimed by manufacturers that the vehicles used only a little or almost no fuel when in the electric mode. The studies showed that this was not in fact the case.

Again, I’ve got a tank of fuel from… several months ago? Barely 7 gallons and it hasn’t run out. Like, I almost never visit the gas station anymore. So, idk. Maybe the Volt was just built better.

The US positioned the world’s largest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford, in the Middle East to join an earlier aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, that had moved to the region last month.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded by threatening to sink the carriers.

They’re using the same strategies. Israel is farther along in the process.

Genocides don’t usually take 80 years

Found the Israeli

That can change quickly once US intervention goes hot
