How many fucking offices and departments do these people fucking need?

"Environmental Justice" so now what, you'll be arrested or shot on sight if you miss the trash can when throwing out your garbage? Or are people going to get fined/taxed for using a regular car instead of going electric like they've been trying to force everyone to do?

In this case, the writer is mimicking religious commentaries, more specifically of the kind you saw more of before the mid-20th century, which isn't how lefties typically talk. I'll give them credit for actually having a good handle on the terminology and flow of a subject matter most of them would run screaming from.

that just means its an old fag. the texas comedians of the 1970s mastered that. hicks and kinison and the rest. if you grew up with it you'll have a bit of a talent for it. they were still doing fire and brimstone in the 90s and 2000s. you don't think that atheism wave came out of nowhere right?

This number seems to hold true for any controversial issue. There's a third of the country that's gone fully nuts and 2/3rds that are sick of the bullshit. This is why they have to gaslight us constantly. If we understood that we were the actual majority, it's major trouble for their uniparty theater.

And I don't even believe it's 1/3rd of the country. I think people are just more willing to have crazy opinions in polls. In real life you might get 10% of the country willing to actually state "yes I believe in post-birth abortion". So we remove the civil rights from those people and move on.

you're forgetting desegregation. it doesn't fucking matter what 2/3rds of the country thinks if the people in charge of the officers in charge of the troops feel otherwise about an issue.

Yeah I think people consistently overestimate the amount of true abortion worshippers. Plus, the "ZOMG THE UNBORN ARE LICHERULLY PARASITES!!!!111!" crowd has alienated the "It should be legal but only a last resort and we should emphasize preventative measures" group.

Oh this reminds me. There's an episode of Jimmy Neutron where they go into (I think?) Carl's body because he's sick and they fight the virus, which looked like weird alien robot thingies. You can "a mage in my sock" when I learned that there really are viruses shaped like that (complex bacteriophage).

IIRC the creator really emphasized being somewhat accurate when they could, its a tv show about a boy genius afterall. much like spongebob and that creator doing his best with portraying aquatic life.

One thing in the supply chain that is being overlooked that seems to be getting more attention is a lack of baby formula. It's all anecdotal twitter stuff but supposedly 30% of stores are out of baby formula.

Democrats not only want to keep killing babies, they want them to starve too. Ultra MAGA can't arrive soon enough.

its like c-sections. formula is a modern need that is over prescribed by US healthcare. once you take costs out of it natural births happen a fuck load more, and way more women breastfeed.

Expect it by the end of 2022.

Better buy some food buckets from Beanie Man Pool before it's too late.

Democrats should be sweating, if this is how bad shit got after q1 reports, imagine how bad the q2 and q3 will be. didn't Netflix estimate 10x the losses they had this quarter for next quarter?

no wonder they told Faucci that covid ended.

If you thought the oil and gas stupidity with the SPR was insane enough, just wait until you discover some truly exceptional swamp critters are legitimately considering suing OPEC for market collusion. You know, because that's definitely going to improve the overall energy pricing.

U.S. Senate committee passes antitrust bill pressuring OPEC

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate committee passed a bill on Thursday that could expose the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and partners to lawsuits for collusion on boosting crude oil prices.

The No Oil Producing or Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) bill sponsored by senators, including Republican Chuck Grassley and Democrat Amy Klobuchar, passed 17-4 in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Versions of the legislation have failed in Congress for more than two decades. But lawmakers are increasingly worried about rising inflation driven in part by prices for U.S. gasoline, which briefly hit a record above $4.30 a gallon this spring. read more


"I believe that free and competitive markets are better for consumers than markets controlled by a cartel of state-owned oil companies ... competition is the very basis of our economic system" Klobuchar said.

NOPEC would change U.S. antitrust law to revoke the sovereign immunity that has long protected OPEC and its national oil companies from lawsuits.

The bill must pass the full Senate and House and be signed by President Joe Biden to become law. The White House has not commented on whether Biden would support the bill if it reaches his desk.


If passed, the U.S. attorney general would gain the ability to sue OPEC or its members, such as Saudi Arabia, in federal court. Other producers like Russia, which works with OPEC in wider group known as OPEC+ to withhold output, could also be sued.

Saudi Arabia and other OPEC producers have rebuffed requests by the United States and other consuming countries to boost oil production beyond gradual amounts, even as oil consumption recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russian supply falls after its invasion of Ukraine.


OPEC+, which cut production when oil prices crashed to historic lows when the pandemic slashed oil demand, agreed on Thursday to stick to its existing plans to reverse the curbs with modest increases for another month. read more

NOPEC is intended to protect U.S. consumers and businesses from engineered spikes in the cost of gasoline, but some analysts warn that implementing it could also have some dangerous unintended consequences.

In 2019, Saudi Arabia threatened to sell oil in currencies other than the dollar if Washington passed NOPEC, a move that could undermine the dollar's status as the world's main reserve currency, reduce Washington's clout in global trade and weaken its ability to enforce sanctions on nation states.

Senator John Cornyn, a Republican from the top U.S. oil producing state Texas, opposed the bill, saying it could prompt OPEC to restrict shipments to the United States.

"If we really want to deal with price at the pump we ought to produce more oil and gas here in America," Cornyn said.

The bill is also opposed by the American Petroleum Institute, the top U.S. oil and gas lobbying group. In a letter to the committee's leaders, API said NOPEC "creates significant potential detrimental exposure to U.S. diplomatic, military and business interests while likely having limited impact on the market concerns driving the legislation."

Some analysts have cautioned that NOPEC could ultimately harm domestic energy companies if it pressures Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members to flood global markets with oil, because they produce oil much more cheaply than U.S. companies do.
