    Lol…I was actually thinking the opposite- that we are seeing the repercussions of DEI…

    So with DEI, which has been going on for a while, not many accidents.  New admin comes in, makes some changes, and many accidents.  Must be the fault of the people, who had an already proven track record.  Makes sense.

  2. Just watched a funny video where Jamie Raskin had to remind Gym Jordan, that he was cheering on the guy that was brought in to do the job that he was supposed to do in the first place.  I got a REAL strong feeling that the amount of fraud found and reported is going to drop off considerably after they're done with the culture war aspect of it.  It will be republicans admitting that all the waste is from the budget they wrote passed.  Not gonna happen.  Hope you enjoyed the extended campaign bigotry rhetoric, though.  LOL

    Well i guess information can fluctuate from site to site,  punched in the question of how many barrels of oil were produced per day in the US in 2016 & this is what it said .

     

    In 2016, the US produced 8.8 Million barrels of crude per day , and in 2017 the US produced 9.3 million barrels per day which was a 5% increase from 2016 .

     

    In 2023 the US produced 12.93 million barrels per day which was a very large increase .

     

    So if this is in fact true then why did the old Joe medicine show have to flood the market with oil from the SR, and why if what you said is true about him allowing more permits for drilling did prices spike all over the US and some said he stopped drilling in many places along with stopping the keystone pipe line .

     

    Sure i guess you can allow for more permits to be put in to who ever has the final say to go ahead or not but if there isn't any of the drilling being done then what's the sense of going through the motions to come up with no results ?

     

    I'm not disputing anything you are saying i'm just asking why things went the way they did with the prices and the SR if there was more supposed drilling and a higher out put of oil in those later years ? 

    I getcha, you just want information.  That's great and rare here.  First, oil charts are all over the place on the internet, and many aren't accurate.  The numbers you found are accurate.  Biden likely wanted to appear proactive.  Releasing the supply did little, but give the GQP ammo, but there claims it hurt us were also false.  Pretty much political bluster by both sides on all of it, which is pretty standard.  

     

    Big oil has always had tons of permits.  They sit on like 10k of them if I'm not mistaken.  Claims of lack of permits are a lie from the industry, and use them as a political tool. Truth is they will only drill more if it's profitable, and that's going to require an uptick in consumption beyond what is forecast.  Drill baby drill was a lie, and if it's our only hope for inflation, we're in trouble.

    The world would be at no more risk than it is now.  Which is to say, none.  Russia has proven it can barely handle a corrupt country with minimal NATO assistance like Ukraine.  They have no chance against a NATO country.

    Just today Europe was stating that they would have no chance at all of keeping up with Russia in munitions.  They seemed pretty concerned even if you're not.

    What do you think the odds are that the guy who finalized that was one of the guys who was fired, and is no longer part of the State Department?  Are you a bettin man? After all it was Biden's administration, so little chance there was any corruption, right?  Remember, you're the guy who agrees we have no need for those $400M SUV's.  How bad would it hurt if you found out Elon was corrupt?

    Say it with me:

     

    “the Executive Office does not have the power of the purse”

    Yeah, but you didn't read executive order #261 where trump changed the dept of the interior into the dept of espresso, where under the idiocy act of 1847 allows him to now control all Congressional duties.  Todd Blanche said it was all perfectly legal.

    Naive or delusional?  Tough choice...

    The easy choice is transparency, but for some reason, I don't think he will make the easy choice.  His fanbois will cheer that he didn't cave just for the sake of not caving.  Maybe Musk can thank them for giving him plausible deniability with a free red checkmark.  We'll call it the reichmark.

    The US isn't going to escalate this war.  We would like to see it over.  But it really isn't our fight.

     

     

    Because it was likely "you must first agree to no NATO membership or there are no further discussions."

    It's not our fight 'now', but maybe it really is, especially considering our president stands on quiet strength.  You can't have that stance and appeasement at the same time.  It sounds like you think that if we let Russia roll Ukraine, the world would be at no less risk than if they hadn't.   That's kind of absurd actually.

    Well seeing as it's only been 2 months since the change as far as the oil thing goes, it takes a lot longer than 2 months to get all the wells that Biden stopped drilling up and running at capacity again so it may be a year before the prices stablize because the first thing is the oil reserve needs to be replenished .

     

     

    Oil production:

     

    2016-2017: 8-9000 thousand barrels/day

    2022-2023: 11-1300 thousand/day

     

    Data from the Bureau of Land Management shows that President Biden approved more oil and gas drilling permits in his first two years in office than former President Donald Trump. From Jan. 20, 2021, to Jan. 19 of this year, the BLM approved 6,430 permits for oil or gas drilling on federal land, compared with 6,172 drilling permits approved during the first two years of the Trump administration.

     

    Also, you fill the SR when oils cheap.  There's no reason it must be filled first.

     

    Not sure who's been informing you, but they're misinforming you.

    That's nice.  The SD was still all Biden's people at that time.

    That's naive.  Everyone knew what would be happening after Nov 6th.  If we could get to the source of who finalized the deal, then we'd know all we need to know.  Guess who has the ability to go into the federal database, and exonerate himself anytime he wishes?

    I'd like to see where in the Constitution it grants the executive power to "rebrand" an agency.  Could he rebrand the DOE into The Department of the Gestapo, and arrest all his political opponents, because his lawyers wrote a bunch of mumbo jumbo that says he can?  LOL  This document isn't worth the ink it's written on.  It's simply here to make it take longer to adjudicate.  If the judge isn't dumb, it won't.

    So you're saying that the executive branch controls spending and taxing?  The Constitution, and even the crookedest of MAGA justices still say you're wrong.

    No NATO membership was the starting point for Russia.

    ...and our starting point should be we just cleaned up billions of dollars in our government, that we'd be happy to use to blow your army in Ukraine to smithereens.  Instead, trump is offering concessions.  What happened to the tough trump, that this would never have started under???

    AHAHAHAHAHHA

    By short term, does he mean after we eliminate China from the global market, and restart our entire manufacturing base?  Shouldn't take long at all. Maybe he means when Fentanyl is eliminated, because of course it couldn't be manufactured in one of the other 195 countries in the world.  We'll never know, because we gut intelligence and law enforcement.  More short-sighted trump BS.
