You haven't been correct on a single politician since 2016. I think I'll take Sly's opinion over yours. You keep having to eat crow when your preferred candidates turn out to be inhuman shit bags, yet you keep "trusting your gut". It grows rather tiresome.

There are pros and cons to everything. I voted against the cons at the time.

See the Biden thread. Biden is selling the rest of it.

So if Biden is selling all our oil why should we drill more? In your world he will just sell that to foreign countries also. And these poor oil companies who are making record profits. I am sure none of them are shipping any oil over seas. Everything that is drilled in the US is only used in the US right.

So.....deplete all of it??
 
Fuck the cult of personality that hides behind lies and lawyers. Vote for democracy, diversity, civil rights, environmental protection, progress , real education and human rights. Anyone who hasn't seen what the truth actually is in the world today is just pissing in the wind behind some partisan authoritarians who are foaming at the mouth to make a police state with a dictator out of the country. It's not an internet joke anymore...Vote for the right reasons...not the rhetoric.

Drill more so the oil CEO"S can sell it over seas and for bigger profits? You are the one who wants them to drill more.

We had plenty of unsold reserves before Biden decided to deplete them.

Has nothing to do with the oil companies selling it all overseas right. All Bidens fault. Maybe they should pass a law that oil produced in the US can only be used in the US. Wonder how the oil CEO"S would enjoy that. Republicans would never do that, they are more worried about the CEO's pocket though. So where is all this oil that the US is producing now, which is the most ever, going?

The blood of women who hemorrhage after trying to self abort with knitting needles and coat hangers in ABM's ideal world.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
 
A woman made a campaign ad. When she was 12 she baby sat for a neighbor. One day the husband came home early with a friend. They locked the children out of the house and took turns raping her. She got pregnant. She was able to get an abortion, no anesthesia. That was common for illegal abortion. Doctors wanted the patient out as soon as possible, no time to wait for recovery from anesthesia.

Should she have had to plead her case before a rape panel, as one Republican candidate suggested? Or just be forced to carry rape pregnancy because she probably was asking for it?

The entire point of the 'strategic reserve' was to have oil to release on the market if OPEC tried to screw us. OPEC is trying to screw us; so the reserve is being used for the intended purpose. It's intended entirely for price action, it's not like keeping jugs of water and canned food in the basement in case of nuclear war. We have plenty of oil in the ground, the US is not about to run out.

A South Carolina woman, Christian and lifelong Republican, is campaigning for Democrats for the first time in her life. She was 6 months pregnant with a very wanted child when she learned the fetus had fatal birth defects. And the state's abortion law allows no exception. She had to travel 500 miles for health care.

FWIW, I've always wanted balance to the extent that it can be done. I'm also hopeful for the future of my kids and grandkids. Biden draining our current oil reserves doesn't seem prudent. We still need to keep drilling now with an expiration date on that. Continue to incentivize auto manufacturers to produce EV vehicles. Again, though, we're still dependent on fossil fuels. Realize that, and drill accordingly.

The oil reserves used are a minuscule portion of the total. The portion used can be replaced when the price goes down. This is a big deal out of nothing.

Understood, The cupboard is empty now, though. Time for a trip to Costco (in the ground.)

to be fair, there have been many tragic cases already posted since the roe v wade decision that you have either ignored or “gee golly that sucks”, without really giving a damn about the woman

I'm sure there have been. There always are. The fact is, though, these are now state decisions, as they should be.

The cupboard is not empty. 60% remains unused and that 40% will be replaced when the price drops.

No, they should not be decided state by state. Abortion is a national problem and should be decided at that level. A woman in Florida needs her abortion just as much as a woman in California. Anyhow how dare anyone tell a grown woman that her decision arrived at with the help of her doctor and not affecting you or I that she can not choose for herself. That decision is up to her and not me.

My Bible tells me differently, Lanny. But, that's already been thoroughly discussed in here.

I'll tell anyone in here. My views on this subject will not change. Ever.
 
Never have I been so bugged by telemarketers and robo texts during an election than I have this year.

Do these candidates not understand that between the non stops commercials and internet ads people have made up their minds and the pestering constantly might harm their chances of peoples votes?

I’ve gotten 2 calls already on a Saturday morning. Damn!

Once you vote that all stops. We vote early and get spared all that hassle.

Don’t forget to bring your bible to the voting booth with you just in case you need a reference point on some of the measures.

lol good grief.

I carry it in my head and heart, especially when Matthew talks about Christ proclaiming that if you want to endear yourself to Christ you should help the most disadvantaged among us.
Our priest stopped by our house yesterday and as he gave us Communion he told us how that was to be in our service November 13. Beautiful.

Here's my grandfather's Thanksgiving prayer which I'm having engraved on my tombstone -

Oh heavenly Father,

We thank thee for food and
remember the hungry.

We thank thee for health and
remember the sick.

We thank thee for friends and
remember the friendless.

We thank thee for Freedom and
remember the enslaved.

May these remembrances
stir us to service
that thy gifts to us
may be used for others.

Amen

How much do you think a police officer should make?

Last year in Portland over 20 officers made over $200,000

...

Police and training are very similar to how you post here. You make some bigoted posts and then claim you didn't know better. Just like the police, they fuck up they claim it's a lack of training, but if they get the training they can no longer use the lack of training as an excuse.

Training should be constant with police as it is with doctors and other professions.

Yes, and I might add that it's required of those who wish to retain their professional engineer's (PE) license.
