Biden address from the White House. 10/19
The Frankish Reich replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Look, Biden flew overnight to Israel, had a bunch of meetings in 8 hours there, flew back, then gave an Oval Office address. I'll say pretty impressive for an 80 year old. Should we be electing 80 year olds? I'd still say no. But still ... pretty impressive. -
Oil: the problem is our friends, the Saudis. They control OPEC, and manipulate production (and hence prices) in a cartel that would be illegal in the United States under antitrust laws. Right now, they're restraining production to raise prices. Ordinarily this would give U.S. producers and incentive to drill, drill, drill in oil fields where the cost of production is higher; with high oil prices, higher cost oil from those fields would still be profitable. But what will the Saudis do if U.S. (Canadian and other too) oil production starts to spike? They'll open the Saudi spigot (and get Russia and others to go along) and lower oil prices, making all those investments in U.S. higher cost oil a waste of money. The solution would lie in expanding something like antitrust laws to OPEC. It wouldn't be antitrust, but a sizable tariff on OPEC oil could provide the certainty U.S. drillers need by incentivizing U.S. production. But neither party will do that because in the short run it would mean higher price oil. Yes, our friends the Saudis have us over a barrel ...

I watched it. Biden did perfectly fine. Remember: Democrats are now the party interested in projecting American strength. Republicans are the new isolationists. -
A new level of incoherence. "They've (the globalists) ..." Setting aside for the moment that "the globalists" is a popular white nationalist euphemism for "the Jews," who owns GEICO? Well, that would be Berkshire Hathaway, a/k/a Warren Buffet, the Wizard of Omaha. Not of Budapest. And what on earth is the reference to COVID? Nowhere in the GEICO statement is COVID mentioned as having anything to do with GEICO eliminating jobs. But go ahead, just string together the right wing bogeymen in a refrigerator magnet string: "COVID" "Globalists" "Soros" "BLM" "Antifa" ... am I missing any?

They are just talking about a Speaker who would assume the position for a limited period of time. In reality, that would be no different than any Republican speaker, since one member - ONE! - may bring a motion to vacate the chair under the MTG rules. So you're just formalizing what already exists. I'd love to see this happen with significant Democratic support. We may actually get a functional House of Representatives again instead of the silly posturing of the last year.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

How about "Israeli missile misses target, hits parking lot outside hospital." Which was certainly possible, now looking unlikely. -
Caleb Williams demanding part ownership

That will never happen. -
But will they let her wear her "recently signed by Trump" cap in federal prison? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jan-6-rioter-smashed-window-received-signed-trump-hat-sentenced-4-year-rcna120678 In the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6, she said it "WAS !@#$ WAR TO GET IN," that rioters “weren’t welcomed in” and that police “had to retreat into the building and fight back because patriots were relentless.”

Jets trade Mercole Hardman to Chiefs
The Frankish Reich replied to boco357's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why do teams even do these late round draft swaps? Seriously, is there some salary cap benefit to it that I'm not aware of? Example: Broncos dumped bust free agent "pass rusher" Randy Gregory. Initial reports said he was waived. Later reports corrected that: it was a draft pick swap! 49ers get Gregory and the Broncos 7th round pick. Broncos get the Niners 6th round pick in return. Niners 6th rounder and Broncos 7th rounder may actually be consecutive picks. So ... why? Face saving or something that I'm missing? -
Nick Fuentes = Fox News Tucker Trump

Wasn't he one the "many good people" chanting "Jews will not replace us" in Charlottesville? -
Because a war in the Middle East has so much to do with the prosecution of an American insurrectionist. I look forward to your continued moratorium on posting on any thread dealing with something other than the was in Israel. Now please go delete your post about Ecuador electing a conservative government.
