[QUOTE=PVMonger;2662795]Republicans, because they think that everything Tucker "Only an idiot would believe anything I say" Carlson says is true probably believe this post is true as well.

But it isn't, even though the Republican douche who posted it didn't even bother to provide a source. The article appeared in the well-knows (at least to Democrats) satire site called "The Babylon Bee". [URL]https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-goes-double-or-nothing-on-national-debt-by-placing-30-trillion-on-the-bengals[/URL].[/QUOTE]Yeah, crackpots don't really dig sarcasm. They tend to take everything literally.

But also look at the source.

[QUOTE]The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures. It has been referred to in the media as a Christian, evangelical, or conservative version of The Onion.[/QUOTE]Right, just like Christian Cupid is an evangelical or conservative version of the International Sex Guide.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2626690]If you invested in the Keystone pipeline, voting for Trump was stupid.

If you do not want to be vaxxed, voting for Trump was stupid.[/QUOTE]Actually, if you don't want to get vaxxed, you're simply stupid.

If you don't want to get vaxxed because of what Ron Desantis is saying and doing.

Then you have been suckered, because you are stupid.

Elvis: Do you believe the January 6th convicted felons were treated unfairly and deserving blanket pardons?

Trump Yes for blanket pardons and using the "Legitimate Political Discussion" fairy tale.

Or No to letting cop beaters walk.

For or against cop beating?

This seems to be a difficult choice for republican.

And highly revealing of what pubs genuinely are.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2662662]Durham Reports that Clinton Campaign Paid to 'Infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House Servers. The allegation is:

"Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an "inference" and "narrative" to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham says."

"In connection with these efforts, Tech Executive-1 exploited his access to non-public and / or proprietary Internet data," the filing states. "Tech Executive-1 also enlisted the assistance of researchers at a USA -based university who were receiving and analyzing large amounts of Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract."

"Tech Executive-1 tasked these researchers to mine Internet data to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying then-candidate Trump to Russia," Durham states. "In doing so, Tech Executive-1 indicated that he was seeking to please certain 'VIPs,' referring to individuals at Law Firm-1 and the Clinton campaign."

"Former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia probe for the House Intelligence Committee under then-Rep. Devin Nunes, are-Calif. , Kash Patel, said the filing "definitively shows that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia."

If these allegations hold up and are true, it will bigger than Watergate.[/QUOTE]"But her emails"!

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2662803]The "maybe not now" line had to do with pipeline capacity. You are doing as you always do and changing the subject to one you think you can win.

I am not sure you know the difference between profit margins and net profit or maybe you do and are trying your usual tried and true method of bullshitting. Drilling may diminish profit margins while at the same time causing net profits to grow.

Of course, I do not know what this has anything to do with what I posted which is pretty typical of your responses to my posts.[/QUOTE]I really didn't think that by mentioning "profit margin" I'd have to explain Business 101 to every idiotic fascist on this board.

But you are simply another fascist moron who doesn't know that [B]profit margin[/B] is really the only thing that matters. That's because [B]profit margin[/B] measures much a company keeps in earnings from every dollar of sales it generates. Unlike profit, which gets measured in dollars and cents, profit margin gets measured as a percentage. [B]Profit margin[/B] is also a measure of how well a company controls operating costs.

So, if [B]you[/B] knew these things, you'd know that net profit can grow while profit margins shrink and if the trend continues the company will be soon headed down the crapper. That's why shale oil companies aren't in any hurry to produce more shale oil and drilling companies are in no hurry to "drill, baby, drill".

So, it is apparent that you are the one that is bullshitting and that the shale oil exec I quoted is vastly smarter that you'll ever be.

Obviously you have never had a business and worked for someone all your life. People like you should not be posting about business.

And shale companies are in a hurry to drill right now since Biden got oil to nearly $100 a barrel. Oil companies are drilling as much as they can on private land since Biden cancelled permits on most of the federal land. Analysts are predicting 48% returns on oil companies for 2022 while the rest of the market struggles under Biden inflation and Feds increasing rates. Great time to be in the oil business.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2662884]You know that hypocrite and chickenshit rhyme well in most poems?[/QUOTE]Yes you are correct. Chicken shit and socialists are one and the same.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2662880]Well, at the senior center in California.

The daily number of people coming in weekdays at 11:30 AM.

Contributing $5.50 and sitting down to eat their "Age Well" lunches.

Has held steady since the Senior Center (closed for 20 months) reopened to guests in November 2021.

Of course daily senior's attendance is down close to 40% from Pre-Pandemic levels.

Trump killed some seniors.

And only killed the interest rates on the savings of the luckier ones.[/QUOTE]Biden is still killing seniors not only with the two Biden viruses but with inflation. Seniors and the poor are suffering the most since Biden presidency started.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2662807]Given how badly Brandon has managed the economy, this would actually be a good plan. I put it at close to 100% right now that the USA economy is going to be hit hard due to the actions of the Fed and Brandon. Hell, the yield curve has partially inverted.

A 50-50 chance is much better. I wish the chances the economy improves were 50-50.[/QUOTE]So what you are saying is that you are against anything that Biden does to control inflation. Brilliant, just brilliant. It is a win-win for the fascists. Complain about inflation and then, when Biden does something to lower inflation, complain at it has impacted the economy.

You are just another idiotic fascist who knows only one thing: "own the libs". The more you and the rest of the fascists can do to hurt the US, the better you like it. Why do you hate Americans so much.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2663014]"But her emails"![/QUOTE]The timing of this Durham thing is suspicious as it comes on the heels of the [B]fact[/B] that the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy routinely ripped up documents while he was in the WH and didn't turn them over to archivists.

Everybody knows that he was a paranoid MF and the he didn't think rules, or anything else, applied to him. Evidently, too, he was too stupid to learn how to use a shredder. Yep, he was a real stable jenius.

And yet 71+ million geniuses voted for him.

To declare the Bengals winners of the Superbowl. Also, Peter Navarro says that they weren't expecting Pence to overturn the Super Bowl, they just want to send the game back to refs to make sure.

Add this to Trump's woes along with polls showing he would get slaughtered in another landslide defeat against Biden in 2024, the mountain of pending civil suits and criminal charges against him and his kids and that $400 billion in loans from thug sources coming due very soon.

He needs to sell tons of MAGA hats to the same cult rally goers over and over again to weasel out of this mess he made of his life and "career".

[B]Tax firm fires Trump Organization as client, says financial statements unreliable[/B]

[URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/14/trump-tax-firm-says-documents-not-reliable.html?__source=androidappshare[/URL]

The only silver lining for the dark Trump Crime Family cloud is Biden's roaring economy might help to keep Trump's longtime failing hotels and resorts afloat.

Trump always acknowledged and said the USA economy does better under Dems than under Repubs and that has never been proven more true than with Repub Trump vs Dem Biden.

So we can only assume Trump's uncanny ability to yammer his way into losing every negotiation and debate and turn everything he touches and applies himself to into shit has been applied to his stealth attack on the Repub Party's chances of taking control of Congress next year by him yammering his poll ratings ever lower and endorsing Repub candidates whose campaign support, funding and donations then begin to dry up.

Of course, his and the country's recovery prospects will dim decidedly if the Repub state level schemes to appoint their QAnon loons to "count the votes" and declare USA economy-destroying Repubs the "winners" no matter how many more legal votes went to the Dems come to fruition. That would definitely screw up Trump's apparent stealth effort to prevent a Red Wave in the Midterms and potentially save his ass financially for a while.

Will Giuliani give up his former boss that is stiffing him?

Fuck, you could be all paid up with your attorney.

And still get screwed by him.

Rudy is in the toughest place imaginable for someone with an ugly 77 year-old ass.

He's being stiffed for most of the work he did in 2021.

He's been stripped of his bar license.

Dominion looks to be on the winning side of a 1.5 billion lawsuit.

He's the leader and creator of hundreds of false electors in seven states.

Something or someone's got to give.

And Rudy Giulian's looking like someone who can be turned.

In any direction for the best deal.

Everyone! Hold your noses! The stench is about to be released. This will not be pleasant.

For some.
