News•Trump officials prepping for ‘nightmare scenario’ at gas pumps: reportsEnglish
1·7 days agoThe point is that banning the export of US oil would cause oil to stop being a globalized commodity (in the US.) US production and US consumption have not changed since the Iran war started. But US prices are up since US production is being shipped to places where their supply from Hormuz is cut off.
Other responder said that US refining can’t refine US oil, which would be extremely odd and I hadn’t heard that before but if true would indeed destroy my logic here.
Horses and oxen, which do not talk, are still compelled by man to labor.

5·8 days agoThe wildest and most frustrating thing is that absolutely no one (besides OP) is talking about this. The tariffs did not increase domestic manufacturing. They did not work. Yet that is among the least of concerns for the President or any national discourse.

15·8 days agoWhen he says anything will happen in 2-3 weeks, he means the next news cycle in 2-3 weeks should distract you from his total failure to do what he said.

News•Prosecutors used hip-hop lyrics to help sentence a man to death: ‘This only happens to rap music’English
31·8 days agoIf he was on trial for an unsolved murder he could have plausibly been present for, and the murder relates to the description he wrote in his book, yes absolutely the fact he wrote about similar murders should be presentable to the jury. Of course it should! How would that not be relevant?
I would not think that it would be enough to convict on its own but absolutely it could be supporting evidence.
Had he not already been acquitted, OJ Simpson’s book “If I Did It” should absolutely have been admissible as evidence against him in the murder trial even though he put the word “If” in the title

7·11 days agoExactly who cares the slightest bit about the political opinions of Rob Schneider?
Doing well in the chaos of war does not mean you are unprepared and unplanned.
Disagree. The people who coordinated this sort of thing were professionals who knew EXACTLY what they were doing

We used to be a proper country.
You could be a very fair pricing dentist and easily get a net worth over $1m over your career.


I went to Paris once, and despite everything I had heard my whole life, if you start off with a Bonjour and end with a Merci, in between, the locals are almost all perfectly happy to speak English with you.
I’m sure I say these things with a thick American accent so they all know not to continue too much further in French.
