    Your argument here, as incoherent as it is, is in direct contradiction with the guy you are apparently trying to back up. 
     

    daz - opec has the spigot turned off

    you - we have more than ever! Also, coffee!

     

     

    No, I said OPEC has their hand on the spigot at just the right amount to keep gas prices high, where they like them.  You haven't disputed that, so I'll assume you agree.  They're bleeding us for every cent they can, and it most certainly has an effect on other goods in a synergistic manner.

    Massive deficit Covid spending by both recent presidents overwhelmingly drove inflation....and it was the right thing to do.  The economy would have been much worse off without it.

    There's only one problem with this argument, and that is that we incurred debt on that money, and we pay interest on it.  If you have 3 mortgages or 10 or 100, is the next dollar you spend worth any less?  If we paid off our national debt tomorrow, would everything go down in price by 75%?  Inflation is part of the capitalist game to keep people poor.  Do you think you could get people to do the menial labors necessary to run the economy if everyone had plenty of money???

    TRUE.

     

     

    He should have called MTG and MJ before him to answer why they were delaying weapons/aid to Israel for a much more substantial period of time.  Maybe ask them about Hiroshima, too.  LOL

     

    Any military aid that the United States provides to recipients must only be used according to agreed-upon terms and conditions, and it is incumbent on the U.S. government to monitor the end use of the equipment it provides. For instance, the Ronald Reagan administration banned transfers of cluster munitions to Israel for several years in the 1980s after it determined that Israel had used them on civilian targets during its invasion of Lebanon

     

    Israel has agreed to use U.S. weapons only in self-defense. Outside of this, Biden administration officials have said they have not placed further limitations or constraints on how Israel uses U.S. weapons, although they say that Israel should observe international law. In February 2024, four months into the Israel-Hamas war, Biden issued a national security memo requiring recipients of U.S. military aid to give written assurances that they would observe international law in their use of the aid, and that they would facilitate the delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance in the area of armed conflict where the U.S. military aid is being used. 

     

    Since October 7, the Biden administration has reportedly made more than one hundred military aid transfers to Israel, although only two—totalling about $250 million—have met the aforementioned congressional review threshold and been made public.

    This is crap. Energy prices are clearly a factor. They don’t overwhelmingly drive inflation. 

    If they pumped oil out of the ground as fast as they possibly could, gas would be dirt cheap.  We wouldn't even be having an inflation discussion.  Did ya'll forget when trump BEGGED them to slow down oil production, because it had gotten too cheap??? There were literally tankers full of it sitting at anchor paying to have it removed from them.

    What?

    This is Israel's survival.

    They are and have been under attack from three sides for years.

     

    It is there issue to "deal."

     

    Biden has proven to be a spineless non ally, and that is shameful.

     

    What does this have to do with the American hostages, that we were talking about?  As I recall it was MJ and the GQP clown car in the House that delayed helping Israel, while Biden pleaded with them.

    Am I crazy or has there been no good answers in this thread?

     

    Wow that's sad.  Really.   Someone please tell me I just missed a post that details the Republican platform. 

    According to Chi's last post, in Missouri it is to get children married, pregnant, and then force them to have their own children, that they can't afford, effectively ruining their lives.  Bravo GQP!

    For some reason they were trying to get stormy to admit trump was a good golfer and the most famous person at the tournament she met him at. Talk about strange lawyers!

    It's the equivalent of the kid at McDonalds wiping the already clean counter.  You at least have to appear to be doing something to earn your pay.  It's hard to believe that any lawyer takes his cases, because knowing he's the greatest ever at everything means he's likely micro-managing them into failure every time.

    Any chance you can steer us towards your thoughts on the Biden administrations efforts to censor social media, most particularly during Covid? It’s not really in question that they were doing that. Seems nazi-ish.
     

    Also, the repeated use of NAZI by people like you and billstime is childish.

    Both sides were asking media sites to not display some content, which I don't like, but it only becomes a problem when they face sanctions for NOT doing so.  As far as I know, the only one threatening sanctions were 'anti-bias' laws proposed by the right.  A social media company(or any company) can and should be able to restrict whatever content they choose, because freedom.  Creating laws to dictate to them what content they can/cannot would be Nazi-ish.  Childish maybe, but it hammers the point home.

    U mean democrats? They try damn hard to censor their political opponents and they have the backing of the establishment media.

    If you mean cancel culture, sure it goes too far quite often, but as long as the government stays out of it, then that's fine.  People and corporations are free to say what they wish, and they're equally allowed to react to others speech as they see fit.  The 1st Amendment doesn't protect people from repercussions to their words/actions from other citizens.

    This puzzles me about President Biden.  He rarely mentions these hostages.  It seems like it should be his #'1 priority in regards to the conflict.

    It's even a bit strange that Fox doesn't have their families plastered all over the screen every night.  I totally agree though, Middle East peace isn't happening anytime soon, no matter how many weapons we send over there.  The real shame is that any deal negotiated will be looked at as weakness by Biden, and that likely plays a big part.

    That’s giving Julie Kelly too much credit. 
     

    I don’t think this was contrived or intentional. 
     

    I think she’s just really dumb. 

    That's debatable, but I think she's likely clever like trump when it comes to manipulating the uneducated.  The nutbars have already turned this lie into, 'It's planted evidence to frame trump'.  LOLOL

    Our tax dollars are not creating new jobs......how come the job reports keep getting revised, always falling way short of projection?

    Unfortunately, they are.  This is the new trickle-down scam.  Corporations hold jobs hostage, unless they get substantial tax breaks.  Then the ponzi logic says those jobs will create a tax base.  The workers ends up footing the whole tax bill, or rather in most cases, the debt from the deficit it created.

    That's a lot of inflation.  

    Apples and oranges. Try again:

     

    Since 1963, the first year for which the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has data on housing prices, the Consumer Price Index has risen from 30.44 to 303.294, an increase of 896%.3

    Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. "Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average."

     During that same time, the median sales price of a home rose from $17,800 to $436,800, an increase of 2,353.93%.

    I bolded the part that you carelessly did not CAPITALIZE in your response to Tommy Callahan. It would seem to me that the bolded part is the main crux of the tweet. That the judicial oversight body deemed it appropriate to begin an investigation seems a tad bit interesting, not a gotcha but interesting, no?

    The current score is investigations: 5273; Actual results from investigations: 0.  99 out of 100 investigations these days are political theater.  

     

    Here's the relevant information from the article that actually matters:  Ultimately, however, Engoron’s ruling went in a direction that Bailey did not advise

     

    Important information that you didn't get by just reading and spreading a partisan hack's tweets.
