    Of course, it's not going to last forever, but that knowledge doesn't do anyone any good, either.

    Your cocoon of denial is far worse, and I don't need the nightly news to "inform" me of what I already know from first hand experience. :roll:

    Hey, it's the world EcoSocialists want everyone to live in - no evil pipelines.

    I'm not a Dem bum expecting free ****, so yes I expect to pay for my own gas, and I've already pointed out that Colonial is responsible for its failure to protect its systems.

    What do I expect Biden to do?

    Wag his finger at Putin and tell him he's supposed to do something about this.

    The gas pipeline companies were too busy paying taxes and firing workers that Biden canned to spend money protecting their IT network.

    You think this is defending Biden?

    upload_2021-5-11_19-22-52.png

    are you for real? What that is doing is stating a fact. I was not defending Biden, I was showing that Trump was no different or better than Biden.

    Though in your world that probably equates to defending Biden.

    This is defending Biden?

    upload_2021-5-11_19-24-58.png

    now you are just trolling me. That is a solid statement of fact and has nothing to do with Biden. I said the exact same thing when Trump was POTUS during both his good and bad months.

    I just filled up today here and the cheapest station in the area here was $3.84 for the premium fuel my car runs best on. It’s up over$1.00 a gallon since idiot became President in January.

    Sure it does. You curtail you actives for a couple days and boom, all is good.

    Yet you are the one telling people to watch the nightly news...just weird.

    I read. Multiple sites from as many possible perspectives as I can find.

    Watching TV news is the worst as they choose your stories you hear and they affect how you view the story with their tone and emotions. It is why I do not ever watch a SOTU address, just read the transcript the next day.

    The only time I turn on TV news is to watch a live event that might be happening

    Yes, it is all defending Biden. You quote facts which make Biden look good, but never those that make Biden look bad.

    The last quote is in reference to Biden's dismal job report, so yes it is defending Biden by asserting that we should pay no attention to it.

    Look, you are not fooling anyone with this I Am Independent charade, except maybe yourself. What ever helps you sleep at night.

    Fair enough. But how do you decide which stories to believe? You think this gas crisis will be over in a few days. Maybe you are right, but maybe not.

    How did you come to that decision?

    None of it is defending Biden.

    My comment about the jobs report is 100 percent factual, if you do not know that then that is on you. I said the same thing when people said bad things after a bad month by Trump. only an idiot makes a big deal about a single months job report, no matter who the POTUS is.

    I do not care what you believe about me, you are just one more empty minded partisan that can not even begin to imagine someone not having sold their soul to one party or the other.

    I try to find the few facts the different perspectives agree on and feel somewhat safe those are the actual facts. I do not take any single source as accurate, they all have their biases, just in different areas.

    Question for you, if next month the jobs report is a million jobs added, will you be giving Biden credit?

    Of course.


    Not how I read it, and neither do a few other posters as well.

    Not when it misses expectations so badly, as this one did. The experts who made the prediction ought to be held to account for their error. I don't that that is an idiotic position, even if you do.

    I do not care what you believe about me, you are just one more empty minded partisan that can not even begin to imagine someone not having sold their soul to one party or the other.[/QUOTE]

    What makes you think a partisan is necessarily empty-minded? Does one who supports the positions of a particular party necessarily have to sell his soul to it? If and when Republicans betray my trust, I will no longer support them. What is so empty-minded about that?

    It goes through cycles all countries get shitheads that think they are God every now and again. And indeed there are usually enough at reasonably competent ones to prevent complete disasters. But in World War I it was like damn every leader in every country in Europe suddenly lost their minds and began believing completely bat **** crazy things. The only man in any sort of position of power with any sort of vague position of power understood the what a disaster was looming was reputedly mad monk Rasputin who told Czar Nikolas that getting involved in the war that was then no more than months a way would be a disaster of the first water not only for the Czar and his family but for the Russian people as well. He was assassinated shortly there after. He was right.

    Why should I? I'm the one that asked the question.

    Good God, it's like you take more pride in dodging questions than trying to actually make a point. Scroll up. It's all there. Thanks.

    We shall see.

    I cannot be held responsible for your reading.

    Should we hold accountable meteorologist who say it is going to be sunny but it rains?

    Should we hold accountable sports commentators pick a team to win it all but they end up sucking?

    I find partisans to be empty minded as both parties lie to us endlessly and never keep their word about what they will do if we give them the chance. I have no idea what your political positions are, but since you find the Repubs to be acceptable I can only assume you are big government supporter. That's cool, there are a lot of them in this country.
