Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

Surely you understand math yourself right? Instead of competing on a an international market for the 14.9 million barrel our country is able to produce, our country would return to only importing the shortfall between domestic production and consumption. I know those concepts are foreign.

Shirley you understand that your original post of "Derp, all we have to do is stop exporting oil and our problem are solved goodly" was retarded. Retarded is NOT a foreign concept for you, given your experience on the subject.

[Seran]

Yeah, I didn't think your cognitive abilities were capable. Thanks for confirming it.

[Parkbandit]

Yeah, I didn't think your cognitive abilities were capable. Thanks for confirming it.

You could have just posted "Yea, it was pretty stupid of me to say that if we just stopped exporting oil we would solve our oil issue. Good point. My bad."

Instead, you've tripled down on your stupidity.

Never triple down on your stupidity.

So.. for the 8.6 million barrels per day deficit... we will be dealing with OPEC afterall.

We mad over 19 million a day in 2019, over 18 in 2020. What is this 14 million? We have produced more than that amount yearly since 2014. 2021 is the first year we slipped below that.

We could produce more than 19 million a day but the party of fake environmentalists legislates against using our own resources. They don't mind fucking up 3rd world countries as long as the pine tree in their backyard remains intact.

[Tgo01]

Oil prices could be tamed by simply putting back in place the crude oil export ban and extending it to oil distillates. Allow our country to maintain critical stockpiles, allow our internal producers to meet demand which will continue to fall due to more efficient vehicles and it would force the rest of the world to deal with OPEC instead of the US leading talks.

So your solution to high gas prices is to thumb our noses at the largest oil producing bloc in the world and force US oil producers into a single market?

Your understanding of economics seems to be on par with the Biden administration. You should see if you can get a job in this administration.

Oil producers have had a country of hundreds of millions who consumed gasoline and other oil products as quick as they could be refined, all for more than fifty years. Now, the Republicans ended the export ban and Americans are paying more than ever at the pump. It's time to reverse that mistake.

No no! The best way to lower oil prices in the US is to piss off the largest bloc of oil producers and forbid our oil producers from selling to a worldwide market.

Because as every first year economist will tell you less supply and more demand equals lower prices, on a related note fewer customers to sell your product to also equals lower prices.

Yes, Bidenomics is doing wonders!

Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me of the other thing every first year economist will tell you: less competition is the surest way to ensure prices will drop!

Let's cut off oil imports and rely on just a handful of US oil producers, that will surely lower prices!

Let me guess, you also want to go old school Carter and implement price controls on gasoline, because that worked out oh so well in the 70's.

I remember having to go park my parents car in the long queue to get gas on Friday evening, then walk home, then walk back Saturday morning to the car so I would get there before the gas station opened (this meant I had to wake up before 7:00am), then wait to buy gas.

Fun times. Not.

You do realize that ban was over in 2015 right... prior to President Trump getting into office.

Maybe it's something else... something you are missing.... that forced the price of oil to go dramatically up in 2021...

What could it be........ what could it be.....

I'm happy to see another item I agree with Seran on - the America first agenda to increase US oil production and American independence.

[Gelston]

You still skirt around the point that US oil companies are producing FAR LESS than they have just a year ago.

The drop in production DIRECTLY correlates with the raise in prices. The export ban ended nearly 6 years ago, so it probably isn't that.

[Seran]

The global petro market doesn't just cease to exist if the US stops exports. Who do you think is going to fill that void?

You're a fucking idiot.

Not the US, because of thd export ban. Our country would then be competing on a global market for less than a third of its oil needs.

Feel free to reach it to the API and ask why their member companies have idled a full third of their wells. They'll tell you demand hasn't increased enough and theirs an abundant supply. When the export ban is out into effect, those idled wells will be placed into production again as domestic market demand ramps.

They'd be completely wrong. Consumption is higher than last year, but production is down. Guess what the means? Higher costs.

Production is /idled/. In 2020 the average oil produced per day in the US was 18.4 million barrels per day, yet as of the end of month October 2021 only 11.5 million barrels per day were being produced. Both numbers are part of the EIA.

Then we throw in the lie about Biden restricting drilling. Biden has halted /new/ oil and gas leased temporarily. Yet per Arcgis, the western US alone has 9.9 million acres of federal lands leased and not yet developed. 9.9 MILLION.

You all are absolute sheep, believing every lie told to you by Conservative media.

Price manipulation is the other way of phrasing it. For anyone to make the argument that Biden is the cause of oil prices when there's tons of spare compacity, oil stocks within 10% of a multi decade average and oil companies having not only the land, but also billions in profit to begin drilling for new oil, why they're a filthy liar

Because the export ban causes American oil to be competitive on a global market and subject to price manipulation. Prices have been stable through the first six months of the covid-19 outbreak, but due to the delay in producers in pumping less oil we had months where there's was literally no place to store oil. Producer cutbacks worldwide took effect and now with global demand surging, OPEC+ has stated publicly they will not increase supply which has reinforced the current 80+ price range.

America meanwhile still exports to the tune of 2 million barrels a day, receiving a larger payout due to the overseas price differential. If instead the export ban were reimposed, domestic oil would lose the international demand influence on its price. We would likely still be buying some oil from the overseas producers to makeup for shortfall, but again domestic oil prices would be largely insulated from overseas market forces.

Okay I just want to make sure I understand your dumb ass ahem, "argument", correctly. You really think the cost of oil in the US was NOT influenced by the global market prior to 2015?

You do know every time someone sneezes in the Middle East the price of oil was affected right? Both in the US and on a global scale and this didn't just happen starting in 2015 right? I mean right? You're not this fucking clueless right?

Right?

Remember when gas prices in 2008 were ALMOST as bad as they are now? Why do you think that is? Could it have anything to do with the "global market"? Why wasn't the US insulated from these high gas prices then?

Your argument makes absolutely no sense because you don't have a single fucking clue what you are talking about.

People wonder why "OMG the mean conservatives are so mean to everyone!" in the political sub and it's because of people like you. Absolutely dishonest people who call everyone a bigot and a racist at the drop of the hat and then engage in dishonest/ignorant "arguments" such as the one you are putting forth.

All of these experts say you are full of shit and an added export ban would make production even lower. Prices would go even higher.

Again, cite a source of yours that says oil prices are up specifically because of the ending of the oil export ban 6 years ago, and only that. Because you weren't saying shit about production vs consumption until it was brought up 6 times.

Allowing producers to charge higher prices relative to comparable foreign oil

Decreasing profit margins for petroleum refiners as they paid more for domestic crude oil relative to international prices

Decreasing demand for U.S. tankers to move domestic oil, leading to declines in the U.S. shipping industry


As a result, refiners had to pay more for the domestically produced crude oil they used in their refining processes after the repeal of the ban, or import more foreign crude oil as a substitute.

Even better, we've helped China's industrialization and growth into Pan Pacific rival. Despite API testimony for Congress that our oil exports would not benefit China.


China imported 952,000 b/d of US crude last month, up more than sevenfold from September 2019 and above the previous record of 840,000 b/d in July.

I had to do some googling to figure out what y'all were talking about. Real Clear Politics huh? Wonder why I've never heard of them!

....Oh.


An October 2019 article in The Daily Beast reported that RealClear Media manages a Facebook page of "far-right memes and Islamophobic smears." Anand Ramanujan, Chief Technology Officer for RealClear Media, responded that the company created the website that was affiliated with the Facebook page "as part of an effort to understand the flow of traffic from social media—particularly Facebook—to political websites."[22]

Since 2017, when a large number of its straight news journalists were laid off, RealClearPolitics has had a rightward, pro-Trump turn.[10] In November 2020, The New York Times reported that "Real Clear became one of the most prominent platforms for elevating unverified and reckless stories about the president's political opponents, through a mix of its own content and articles from across conservative media."[10] Three days after every major media outlet declared Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election, the website reported that Pennsylvania was still undecided. Some allies of Donald Trump falsely claimed that RealClearPolitics had rescinded its call of Pennsylvania for Biden; however, the website had not yet called a winner in the state.[23][24] The website elevated stories that "reinforced the false narrative that the president could still somehow eke out a win."[10]

So this is just one of y'all's Kool-aid stands huh. Okay then fine don't let me break up the roleplay. Let's go Brandon and whatnot!

"GAO's analysis found limited effects associated with the repeal of the ban on the production, export, and import of domestic refined petroleum products, such as gasoline."

Your own link.


However, profit margins—which are determined in part by the costs a refiner pays for the crude oil and the earnings a refiner receives from the sale of refined products—likely decreased as the prices refiners paid for domestic crude oil increased relative to international prices.

And in thd EXACT same paragraph your quoting, the GAO found that prices paid for domestic oil went up for refiners due to international oil price influence. Which was not a factor before the export ban was appealed.

[Seran]

To give you a an idea of just how corrupt the American petroleum Institute in is they are trying to head off an investigation into price collusion by the oil companies and refiners. Mind you, nobody say that they did something wrong but an investigation apparently it's exactly what API who represents most of the oil companies is afraid of.


Watch this space: President Joe Biden, who is taking political heat from the spike in gasoline prices, asked the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday to "immediately" investigate whether illegal activity by oil and gas companies is contributing to the problem.
The American Petroleum Institute slammed the push and renewed its call for the federal government to encourage domestic oil and gas production even as it tries to fight the climate crisis.
"This is a distraction from the fundamental shift that is taking place and the ill-advised government decisions that are exacerbating this challenging situation," the group said in a statement.

[Seran]

What most of you seem to be forgetting is that companies colluding to fix prices by controlling output is illegal in the United States. This is exactly what the American petroleum Institute does, help keep prices up

Yes, TV news in our country is all conservative. The Democratic party is a conservative big tent party with some progressive members. We do not have a major leftist or progressive party in this country. The DNC serves the will of Wall Street and the military industrial complex. Biden is a conservative!

Why should anyone engage in discussions with people who support an ideology that has killed over 100 million people and who, in the face of overwhelming evidence and proof over 100+ years claim that they are so enlightened, educated and erudite that they have some mythical understanding of the murderous, tyrannical ideology that has somehow eluded the greatest minds in the world for over 100 years? Why should anyone do anything more than exile, eschew and ridicule people who claim to use "reason" and "logic" to support and defend the most destructive ideology to have ever existed while trying to cover it with the "That wasn't real Socialism" lie?

Yea dude. I'm sure if people don't go bankrupt from medical debt all that stuff will happen. I'm sure that, the moment my kid gets free community college, the Marxist storm troopers will kick down my door and liberate all my hard-earned assets. Give me a break!

It's not even like there aren't other countries that do this already for their citizens. We know it works. We know we can do it. The only downside is that some profit margins will go down. Y'all are out here worried about people who already have it made, having to endure slightly less profits, when people are literally choosing not to seek medical help because they can't afford it.

I can already hear the cries of ThEy JuSt WaNt FrEe StUfF!!! welling up from your throat. No. I can afford most anything I want for my family. I want others who are less fortunate than myself to be elevated.

Nice bit of red herring there. Try again.

And those other countries, their economies are collapsing because of all the giveaways and the fact they are starting to have to meet their NATO commitments instead of having their defense bankrolled by the US.

Keep up the lies, you are mildly entertaining but you are no ASSliana.

Uh huh. Yea, I'm just sitting here waiting for the collapse of all the countries that provide healthcare to their citizens. They've been doing it for a while now. How long do you think it'll take?

And ideally, I wouldn't take any of your money or you any of mine. There's waaaaaaay more than enough bloat at the top to take care of everyone. We could skim enough cream off the top and not even have to TOUCH the beloved military! Wouldn't that be nice?

You act like the people that would be impacted by the mildest shift towards socialism need your help defending themselves(or their disgusting dragon-hoards) against people who are just trying to make life better for people who desperately need it.

They don't need your help! They have enough help on the blue side already. You and all your buddies could vote straight Marx ticket for the rest of your life and I doubt it would make enough impact to increase your own taxes a "red" cent. The DNC doesn't want socialism. They just want to keep enriching themselves and their buddies, much like the RNC!

So if this was a standard store robbery, I would agree with you.

But this wasn't a standard store robbery. This was a coordinated effort of 80 people storming a store all at once, in a city where store robberies have become so common that many stores are abandoning the city. The question that needs to be asked is: Why has this been happening? Could the liberal policies and attitudes of the city and those in the Democratic Party have anything to do with it? And my position on that question is yes, and therefore I consider the President to be part of the problem.

Look at Dreaven attempting to re-write history there.




Trump said Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” Trump is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have.

Biden literally called Trump xenophobic the day after Trump announced the travel restrictions. You’re so fucking stupid and delusional that you think that’s just a coincidence because some “fact checking” website said they couldn’t find any instances of Biden calling Trump a xenophobe right?

What's sad is just how lazy of an opponent that you are. Can't come up with facts of your own, refute your opponents information. Unable to find source material to support your own argument, attack the credibility of your opponents information. It really is a sad state you Republicans have come to. Even Fox News is a sad parody of what happens with you Conservashits, doing nothing but denying science and hard fact without counter-argument. Passing off opinion pieces as peer review scientific studies. Hell, the number of researchers on Tucker Carlson's team who scour social media for absolutely any mention of Black Lives Matter whenever someone of color does something wrong tells you just how pathetic the white nationalists of the country have become.

Trump said Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” Trump is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have.

"Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is leading several Democratic senators in a letter demanding PBGC rewrite the flawed rescue to provide untold billions more in taxpayer handouts."

"In July, PBGC estimated the cost of the bailout at $8 billion more than CBO. In September, it increased the score yet again to $97.2 billion, while projecting that the final cost may be far higher."

AAAAAND WHOOSH! That's the sound of the goal posts moving again. Suddenly you care about the ramifications of what Biden did to Trump's policy, rather than whether it's hypocritical of Biden to have called Trump's ban racist.

It sure is tough getting through to you folks some times. Gee whiz. So.

The video that you posted. Is about the supposed hypocrisy of Biden banning travel to Africa because he called Trump doing it xenophobic etc.

That's what we've been discussing. The whole time. I didn't see a mention of the embassy between the video and your previous reply to me.

It is a flawed premise. Biden and Trump restricted travel for different reasons. Biden did it for a valid reason; to stop the spread of a new COVID variant. Trump did it as part of a supposed anti-terrorism travel ban.

I don't care if you think Trump's ban valid or not. I don't care if you think Biden was wrong for calling Trump xenophobic or for criticizing his later COVID-related travel bans. It doesn't matter. Biden is a wet chode.

I'm simply saying this:

It is not hypocritical. The two travel bans were for completely different reasons. If they were both for COVID, you'd be right. If they were both for security, you'd be right. But they are different bans for different reasons. CONTEXT MATTERS!!!


So not sure what point you're trying to make. You keep doing you though, dumb as it is. I'll just keep posting what Biden and Democrats have said before, and their hypocrisy.

The point I'm making is that you're being intellectually lazy and enabling the downfall of your fellow man. You're posting complete bullshit, then lazily defending it by dismissing any criticism as craziness or stupidity. Wake the fuck up man!

This is exactly the type of behavior that got "Politics" to the state that it's in today. I'd much rather be cooperating with you and discussing cool compromises that work for everyone, but no. People on both sides have to drink SO deeply of the kool-aid that any dissent is INSANITY.

You can’t even make this shit up anymore.

Remember how the WHO shamed everyone for referring to the China virus as the “Wuhan virus” because China has all of them in their pocket?

Then the WHO basically said they will start assigning Greek letters to variants of concern of the China virus because people had a hard time saying the scientific name which resulted in many people simply calling the virus by the name of the area where it was first discovered, which is apparently mean and racist.

Apparently they didn’t realize at the time that one of the letters happens to be spelled “Xi”, the same way the current dictator of China spells his name. So what did WHO do when a new variant of concern came around and the letter “Xi” was next in line to be used? Why they just skipped right over it and went straight to “Omicron.”

Seriously why is any country other than China funding this shit organization?

Ok oh, so you're saying that Biden is racist and xenophobic now due to the travel ban he just implemented, but he wasn't racist before when he was crying about Trump's travel ban. Right? If not, then please elaborate and be specific.

A quick search reveals the reason for the name skips(plural...they skipped Nu as well for reasons that should be obvious) is that Xi is a common surname. It's the 332nd most common surname in China, so it would be the equivalent of naming it the Craig Variant with names from the USA. Not sure I buy that explanation, honestly.

"Biden HIV/AIDS strategy calls racism 'public health threat'"

"Historically, gay and bisexual men have been the most disproportionately affected group. They account for about 66% of new HIV infections, even though they account for only 2% of the population, according to the CDC. In 2019, 26% of new HIV infections were among Black gay and bisexual men, 23% among Latino gay and bisexual men, and 45% among gay and bisexual men under the age of 35.

To reduce the disparities, the strategy includes calls for focusing on the needs of disproportionately affected populations, supporting racial justice, combating HIV-related stigma and discrimination and providing leadership and employment opportunities for people with or at risk for HIV."

I don't even know where to start... combatting AIDs = good.

The problem I have with Cuomo at CNN doing what he did - is because it was an abuse of his position, access to resources, and ability to sway the narrative against VICTIMS of sexual assault.

It's not that he stood by his brother... it's that he used his position to try and intimidate and affect the outcome against VICTIMS of sexual assault in his brother's favor.

That abuse of power and position, is the reason he should be shit-canned.

It is way different from jerking off to someone in person.

Can you imagine? I mean, I'm married in what I think is a fairly healthy relationship and I don't even jerk off when there's a possibility of my wife coming in or seeing it. Maybe I'm sexually repressed, I should talk to a therapist about it.

I don't see how. His colleagues could see what he was doing on his video feed.



That he was jerking off while looking at his colleagues? We can only assume. Otherwise why not just log off the zoom meeting.

He could have easily had pornhub up on another monitor or something.

I'll need to see a screenshot of who was on the other side of the Zoom meeting before I can make a more accurate judgement though.

Just check out this headline and article:

'She's going to lose': Dems brag redistricting dooms conservative Illinois freshman (https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/03/mary-miller-illinois-redistricting-523739)


Illinois Democrats have GOP Rep. Mary Miller right where they want her.

The freshman Republican — who caused a frenzy during her first week in Congress earlier this year, when she gave a speech in which she said Adolf Hitler "was right about one thing" — doesn’t have a clear path back in 2023.

Miller told POLITICO this week she plans to seek reelection, but Illinois’ new congressional map splits her downstate district in two, leaving her in the undesirable spot of choosing between challenging GOP Reps. Mike Bost or Rodney Davis, two well-funded and popular incumbents who have both declared 2022 bids.


And while she squirms to decide her next move, her Democratic colleagues seem to be basking in her predicament.

“I do not feel sorry for Mary Miller,” said Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), who represents Chicago and also chairs the state Democratic Party.

“I think Mike Bost is a decent human being. I think Rodney Davis is a decent human being. And I don't recall them ever speaking lovingly of Adolf Hitler,” said Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.).

Democrats in Springfield had total control over the redistricting process in the state and used their power to roil the GOP delegation. They shredded the district of Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a rare anti-Trump Republican, forcing him to decide between an early retirement or challenging fellow GOP. Darin LaHood in a primary. (He chose retirement.)

They created a new deep blue seat by uniting parts of Bost’s and Davis’s district into a snake that runs from East St. Louis north and east through Springfield, Decatur and Champaign, and created two other artfully drawn red-leaning seats downstate.

Davis is the only incumbent in the new 15th District, a sprawling centrally placed seat that includes of some Miller's old turf. But the rest of her former seat — and Miller’s hometown of Oakland — is in Bost’s 12th District to the south. Miller appears to be shoved in with Bost: A skinny thumb jumps up above the northern border of the seat to include her house.

Bost moved quickly, declaring a run in the southern district in October and later rolling out endorsements from dozens of local mayors and elected officials and former GOP Rep. John Shimkus, who held Miller’s current district for 12 terms.

Bost said he called Miller a month ago, before he announced his campaign. “I asked her to get back with me. She had never got back to me,” he said in a brief interview Thursday on the Capitol steps, where Miller passed by her potential opponent soon after, on her way inside to vote.

Davis, meanwhile, announced earlier this week that he would seek reelection in the central district rather than run for governor.

Miller remains undecided but undeterred.

“I'm running for Congress,” Miller told POLITICO in a brief interview earlier this week. But she said she had not yet figured out where she would run. She said previously she wouldn’t be intimidated by the new maps, remarking in October: “I can say I laughed when I read that they think they’re terrorizing me. Because I am not scared."

Illinois’s candidate filing deadline is in mid-March of next year, and the primary is scheduled for June 28.

In a primary against Bost or Davis, Miller would likely try to run to the right. Both of their newly drawn districts would've backed former President Donald Trump by around 40 points in 2020, so the GOP nomination is tantamount to a win in November.

Throughout her first term, Miller has formed alliances with members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, at times putting herself at odds with the House GOP conference.

Miller, a farmer and a homeschool teacher and wife of a state representative, was elected in 2020 to fill the seat of the retiring Shimkus. Her most high-profile moment came at the start of her term, when she attended a rally for a right-leaning group and said conservatives would lose unless "we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future.’”

(Miller later apologized for her comments, while lambasting critics for “intentionally trying to twist my words.”)

She’s also leaned into some tension within her own party.

Earlier this year, she participated in a press conference with the caucus advocating for a resolution that would’ve removed Kinzinger and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from their committee assignments after they separately accepted appointments by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Bost and Davis, elected in 2014 and 2012, respectively, have more seniority and could be in line for committee leadership roles. (Davis is the top Republican on the House Administration Committee, and Bost is the ranking member of the House Veteran Affairs Committee.)

Yet it might be somewhat easy for her to draw a contrast with Davis, who voted to certify the 2020 presidential election and to establish an independent Jan. 6 commission, unlike Miller.

Asked if he fears a challenge from Miller in the new 15th District, Davis pushed back: “I don't know if I've ever given the impression when I've been out here in the last nine years that I'm really afraid of much, so you take on all challenges.”

“We didn't ask for the gerrymandered mess that is the Illinois map,” Davis added. “But I'm going to run in the district that I live in, which is always where I will run. And my job is to make sure that we hold that seat for Republicans.”

Bost also did not seem to fear a matchup against Miller, touting endorsements and geographic edge. “If you look at the largest cities," he said, referring to the 12th District, "the first five largest cities are in my old district,"

Wherever Miller chooses to run, she will ensure the state's second member-on-member matchup. Democratic Reps. Sean Casten and Marie Newman are facing off for the same Chicagoland district. Georgia and West Virginia are also hosting battles incumbent-vs.-incumbent primary battles.

In Illinois, Bustos, who is retiring after this term, said she feels confident she already knows the outcome.

“If she chooses to run against Bost, he's going to beat her. If she chooses to run against Davis, Davis is going to beat her,” she said. “Literally, whatever she picks, she's going to lose."

tl;dr: Democrats in Illinois laughing about how their gerrymandering already forced one Republican to retire early and is probably going to force another Republican to retire early.

Notably absent from the article is a single mention of the word "gerrymander" other than once when quoting a Republican who used the word.

Yet whenever Republicans gerrymander the "news" is sure to use the word "gerrymander" every other sentence.

"But only Republicans gerrymander!"

Those people need to be sent to a third world country for a few years to see what legitimate suffering is like to re-frame their nonsense ideas. I'll tell you that despite what you hear about the Whiteness and White Guilt movements gaining steam, the majority of the left don't support the theory.

My organization recently had a statewide conference of about 1,500 attendees and our plenary speaker gave an hour and a half lecture on Whiteness. His ideas, between victimizing POC by having white Presidents on their money to telling us why someone who isn't black isn't qualified to serve the needs of the black community, no matter their educational background.. was so abhorrent, they ended his lecture early and removed the committee chairwoman who brought him on as a speaker. The chat was so /lit/ by people who were attended that a formal apology was tendered by the presenting committee.

A restaurant in San Fransisco (I know I'm shocked this happened there too) kicked out 3 police officers supposedly because they had guns.

They are now doing as much damage control as possible from all of the backlash they are receiving.

Here is a statement from one of the co-owners:


"It's not about the fact that we are anti-police," chef and co-owner of Hilda and Jesse, Rachel Sillcocks, told ABC7 News. "It is about the fact that we do not allow weapons in our restaurant. We were uncomfortable, and we asked them to leave. It has nothing to do that they were officers. It has everything to do that they were carrying guns."

It's funny because the first sentence says they are anti-police but that's not why they kicked them out. That's probably not what she meant to say but...yeah...pretty dumb.

In another statement one of the co-owners said police officers are totally welcome in their restaurant as long as they are out of uniform and not carrying guns. Now gosh that's weird. If their only problem were the guns then why does the police officers wearing uniforms have anything to do with it?

Why can't these pussies just admit they hate cops and openly state they will refuse to call the cops under any circumstance? Can't just one limp-wristed Democrats have the balls to follow through with their convictions?

San Francisco is a trash pit and has been for decades.

These are the type of liberals who will kick out police from eating in their restaurant because of the fact that they are anti-police.. but I bet if they get robbed, they will question why it took the police so damn long to respond to them.

IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most
Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent.


By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.)


That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.


What’s more, IRS data shows earners in higher income brackets contributed a bigger slice of the total income tax revenue pie following the passage of the tax reform law than they had in the previous year.


In fact, every income bracket with filers earning $200,000 or more increased its tax burden in 2018 compared to 2017, and every income bracket with a top limit lower than $200,000 paid a smaller proportion of the total personal tax revenue collected.


That means that Republicans’ tax reform law resulted in the tax code becoming slightly more progressive — the exact opposite of what Democrats have claimed over the past four years.

Chicago Mayor on the recent store robbery sprees happening in Democrat cities:


Lightfoot said: "Some of the retailers downtown in Michigan Avenue, I will tell you, I'm disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won't institute plans like having security officers in their stores.

"Making sure that they've got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night, chaining high-end bags. These purses seem to be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units."

Good to see Democrats have gone from "There aren't any store robberies going on!!!11!!!" to directly blaming the stores themselves for being the victims of crime.

Thank you Hillary.. for showing us that you haven't gotten over your stinging defeat of 2016 and reminding us what a crazy fucking lunatic you are.

Not sure why you would do this to yourself, but thank you for your lack of self awareness.

Chicago Mayor on the recent store robbery sprees happening in Democrat cities:



Good to see Democrats have gone from "There aren't any store robberies going on!!!11!!!" to directly blaming the stores themselves for being the victims of crime.

Has anyone let her know that she's an embalmed corpse yet?

It's like clockwork now.

So there was a recall effort in Seattle to recall the far left self-avowed socialist who helped rioters burn down her own city and has demonized police officers as the real bad guys.

On the first day of counting with 60% of the votes counted the recall vote was leading at 53%. She even told her supporters not to worry because "progressives" such as herself always manage to pull through towards the end of the ballot counting, and wouldn't you know it? She was exactly right. She survived the recall effort by 232 votes.

Amazing how this always seems to work in Democrats' favor, they are even flat out admitting it now. Almost as if something fishy is going on....hmmmm.......

But if you dare ask any questions you're a racist bigot!

Just a funny one to watch.

This article is absolutely disgusting and I'm almost positive Seran wrote it.

House Democrats want to raise SALT deduction cap to $80,000. What that means for your tax bill (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/house-democrats-want-to-raise-salt-deduction-cap-to-80-000-what-that-means-for-your-tax-bill/ar-AARF1gM?cvid=8aa72fb020ec473ba94d97dc64975da1)


However, many filers don't know how the change to SALT may affect their bottom line, experts say.

"The SALT cap increase will have the biggest effect on high-income-tax states like New York, California and New Jersey," said certified financial planner Matthew Benson, owner at Sonmore Financial in Chandler, Arizona.

For 2021, the standard deductions are $12,550 for single filers or $25,100 for married couples filing together, meaning they won't itemize if write-offs — including SALT, medical expenses, charitable gifts, mortgage interest and more — fall below those thresholds.

And since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, filers who itemize deductions can't claim more than $10,000 for SALT, increasing levies for filers with high state income and property taxes.

However, the House Democrats' plan temporarily increases the limit to $80,000, allowing eligible filers to further reduce taxable income.

"This would certainly cause more people to itemize again in high-income-tax states," said Benson, explaining how most filers don't currently exceed the standard deduction.

It's basically making it sound like EVERYONE is gonna benefit from Democrats' give away to high income earners in blue states at the expensive of the poor and middle classes via their federal tax dollars.

Only problem is if this change goes through 57% of the total benefits will go towards the top 1% of earners, 40% are the next top 19% of earners (for those having trouble keeping up we're already at 97% of the benefits will go towards the top 20% of earners), the next 20% of earners will receive 2% of the benefits, and finally the final percent goes towards the next 20% of earners.

So let's recap:
57% of benefits go towards top 1%
40% goes towards top 2-20%
2% goes towards top 21-40%
1% goes towards top 41-60%
0% goes towards bottom 40%

But does this CNBC article mention any of that? Of course not! They make it sound like this is a tax break everyone gets to enjoy, and oh boy 80k cap on SALT, gee golly whiz that certainly is higher than the standard deduction of 12.5k, as if most middle and low income earners even pay enough in taxes to itemize their deductions.

The article then goes into "planning opportunities" for those who might earn less money through 2030 by selling appreciated assets sooner to reduce their capital gains bill, as if most fucking people reading this article have capital gains taxes and can sell appreciated assets.

What an absolute joke.

The article then ends by saying those mean ol' Republicans in the Senate might stop the the bill, as if this will somehow affect the middle class at all.

Remember how Democrat politicians managed to convince Democrat voters that they didn't really see any benefit from Trump's tax cuts, and now they are trying to convince these same idiots that they will see a single dime from this massive tax break to the rich.

The media is indeed the enemy of the people.

LMAO. Not satisfied with American propaganda alone, gluttonous PB's appetite FLIES across the ocean to gobble up that sweet sweet American propaganda with an accent, The Daily Mail. You gonna start posting National Inquirer articles next dude?

Also, file this under "Who gives a shit."? Why are y'all still fucking obsessed with rapist and rapist defender Bill and Hillary?

Y'all elect a moron crybaby born with a silver spoon up his ass, then act like it's reasonable to compare him to relatively normal acting Democrats. It's not. The guy was an idiot and anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that he's a poor choice as a national figurehead.

It's just that simple. You backed a fucking moron and continue to do so even when he lost and tried to have his cultists overthrow the election with violence. Just give up and admit that the man is a fucking moron and a terrible president. It's not "being triggered" to say this. It's a normal reaction that MOST people have. See the number of people that voted against Trump for proof :)

You can let go! He's probably going to win again in 2024 because the Dems can't get it right for more than like the 6 months it takes to pull together and defeat the least popular president in US history. But you can still save some of your dignity for 2028 and beyond.

This is called the Blue Shift. It's a pretty well-known political phenomenon that first started in the early 2000's. It's thought to be caused by provisional ballot counting. Provisional ballots come from the 2002 bipartisan Help America Vote Act.

Pretty cool stuff. I guess we need to get Biden to do a 9/11 so we can all be friends again over a nice war! Repugnicans and Demofarts alike love a good war, don't they! Hey Raytheon, what does your family want for Christmas? More dead brown people? But we got you that last...and every year...

It was on the Today Show on NBC. Made in America.

This was just linked so you could watch the video clip yourself, since when I posted this, it wasn't on youtube yet.


Also, file this under "Who gives a shit."?

For someone who claims to not give a shit.. you seem pretty upset by the link.

Tell us where Bill touched you. Is he the reason you became a beta cuck boy?

I gave up after the first few sentences of your "OMG WHO CARES.. WAIT LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" post.

I love how you turned this into "ZOMG ORANGE MAN BAD!" as usual.

Which is the response I actually expected from a simpleton leftist like you.

I didn't even watch the video because it. Doesn't. Matter. to anyone who isn't either a YASS-KWEEN-ing Hillary lover or a Trump cultist.

No, Bill didn't touch me. I don't have any reason to believe he would, nor would I want him to.

But let me tell you, the wife's boyfriend did. Head to toe, lovingly caressing my body. Tender kisses all over. It was heavenly! She gets him to do things like this for me now and then because she loves me.

Sorry I hurt your feelings. I'll try to use less swear words next time, but if you'd read and comprehended it, you'd see it's not about Trump. I mean, absolutely orange man bad. That's a given! It's not about how he's bad, though. It's about the lingering effects of his presidency and how to get over them.

Politics has been a taboo subject in polite talk for a long time. But you can't deny that political discourse has gotten especially shitty since the mid 2010's. You can try to pin it on Obama, but I can rewind and say that Bush 2 was equally hated. It's gotten worse because the propaganda mills have learned how to leverage the internet better. Trump's victory in 2016 is evidence of that, IMO. 4chan(or the chans, or pol, whatever) and /r/The_Donald were a HUGE factor in that election.

It's about the future of the Republican party. Trump will pass, but this insane mentality that he's brought with him has to go.

The more sensible Republicans already see the writing on the wall, but most of them are leaning into the cult and trying to scoop up those easy Trump votes!

2nd long post to tell us you don't care about the video of Hillary.

Are you trying to convince us you don't care.. or yourself.

Because you come across as an unhinged beta cuck that really cares.

Yes.....but WHY?
