    Talk about thread derailment, and trolling. This is a classic case that repeats itself with a sect of members on a daily basis here. It's a strange psychosis.

    Dear Mods... is every thread about Trump? Can we go into any thread and just derail it repeatedly?

    It's a disruption on the conversations here to have these lock steppers think everything is about the bad Orange Man. Can you at least tell them they have to stay on topic for the first 20 posts of a thread, so these threads have a chance of not devolving into another Orange Man Bad event, where the same cast of Leftists express their butthurt over Trump?

    Every thread is becoming TDS Ground Hog day thread.

    We became the largest oil producer during Trump. You are rewriting history.

    Have you ever heard of the "Report" Button?

    In case you haven't, it is located on the lower left of the comment box (to the right of the "Edit" Button).

    If you find any content at PF to be personally disturbing (or against the rules) feel free to report the objectionable content at any time (day or night).
    Comments such as those (remarking on the content of others), in the open forum, are a horrible look.

    I would caution against behavior such as posting ridiculously misguided "TDS" memes which not only reflect poorly on the person using them, but insult the intelligence of the entire forum.

    Nothing personal, just some friendly advice going forward.:handshake:

    And, always remember, the Report Button exists for a purpose.

    Anyway, back to the Actual Topic.

    It seems inevitable that an increase in Inflation (which leads to higher prices across all economic sectors) would affect those on fixed incomes.

    It isn't rocket science.


    Carry on.:flagus:

    Granted, most of the Democratic Party is progressive and radical but Joe Manchin of WVa is an exception.

    You're making political parties out to be bad entities or is it a generalization on your part?

    Was the 2020 election a free and fair election? IMO, people seem to think so since the Trump Attorney General said there was no evidence otherwise. IMO, people seem to think so since there was this 2-week preliminary investigation of the 2020 election to determine there was no need to investigate the 2020 election...BTW and this really still cracks me up, that Trump campaign 'witch hunters' (who also declare the 2020 election was the most investigated election in US history:roll:) investigated the Trump campaign for 2+ years based on evidence consisting of lies, innuendo and gossip.

    BTW, the 2016 election was way more investigated than the 2020 election.

    It is you that does not understand .. as I told you .. Trump did not reduce the supply .. as the Saudi's and Russia did not reduce supply on Trumps request.

    What part of that is not getting through thick skull ?

    yes, American oil can not compete with foreign oil, if we want more expensive gas prices at the pump, we use American oil

    Trump snowflakes think telling the truth is a derailment, lol and you talk about TDS

    if we survived 4 years of Trump, and the right always bringing up Obama or Clinton, then you can survive too

    I did a search of you and you're mentioning Obama during the Trump years, you did it so many times it more than the search allows back, and on Trump threads, hmmmmm, ok for me, but not for thee

    you from a Trump thread in 2017

    Your narrative is a lie. Total BS.

    The biggest effect on oils prices was the Democrat shutdown and fascist Covid-19 restrictions on businesses, which drastically lowered demand and prices. Without cutting supply from OPEC countries, the US oil industry would have been completely ruined, and we would have had less supply today cause many oil companies would have gone bankrupt. Trump kept the oil industry intact by successfully negotiating with the Saudis, and he delivered what is considered to be a landmark deal.

    Lying Democrats also like to leave out the fact that these were only temporary cuts to oil output. Increased production was supposed to be restored in 2021, but anti-oil Biden procrastinated, and then pissed off the Saudis by violating our agreement with them. After the price for oil inflated, the Biden Administration went back to the Saudis to beg them to increase output.

    You want to pretend like you're teaching us all this information, but Republican posters have been discussing this issue for the last year as Democrats tried to kick it under the rug. We warned you that this would be a significant issue.

    If you need someone to blame, look in the mirror. Biden votes had consequences. He's not good for any citizens.

    I think those figures are far too low...I've seen estimates of up to 10% per month for food.

    What we will see is a complete distortion of pricing. Some items will skyrocket in price, (these will be mostly the low stock or empty shelf items stuck on a ship somewhere or where factories have been shut down). Other items will be marked down heavily because shop owners need cashflow....what will happen is once these items go retailers will order more only to find the supply chain choked and factories in North east China closed or running on 1 or 2 days when they have electricity. Shipping costs will increase future prices for these reorder items and basically everything that needs to be transported (land air and sea).

    Farmers in the US have been paid to destroy crops, in other countries like UK & Aus there are farm labour shortages...full or partial crops will be left to rot, so we are going to have massive food shortages globally as well as hyperinflation globally as competition for food and real goods run rampant. There is no upper limit to fuel prices....it will be multiples higher next year this time...(of course this simply add to the inflationary cycle already in place). Then there are the mandates creating labour shortages in health, security and police, military, and simply every industry where they are enforced...so not only product shortages but services shortages.

    [​IMG]

    The reason they do this of course is again oil shortages....they need a fast collapse to keep as much infrastructure intact as possible....since we will not be able to rebuild this infrastructure....what is will be.

    In all honesty, I have little use for political parties since I believe they are a part of the same hypocrisy; hence why I've never been registered in any political party..

    I'll mention that this comment ^^^ is by no means an endorsement of the actions taken by governments since 2020. If we remained on a gold standard, economic growth would have been much slower, this means oil usage would have been much lower resulting in many decades of oil left to make a transition that is not akin to hitting a brick wall at 200km/hr. (the debt levels would have been substantially less also resulting in a much more equal society than we have today)

    It is my opinion that this economic monster based on fiat currency, fractional reserve banking and oil were deliberately created for maximum chaos, to bring about the "black awakening" mentioned in this post vvvv...also the title of Russ Dizdar's book
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ngs-by-the-navy.582236/page-6#post-1073020333

    And

    When you take the economic monster's collapse in context with the vaccines being rolled out at this exact moment (a vaccine that permanently manufacture a virus in your cells), & the potential for viruses to allow demonic entities more control over humans....(discussed in this post)
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ngs-by-the-navy.582236/page-6#post-1073007372

    then you could argue it is indeed a recipe for a Black Awakening....

    lol, so you agree Trump raised prices, but think it's a good thing, cause it's saving US oil, but then blame the high prices on dems?

    Not to me you didn't.... but here is your chance .. what was it from the links you posted that you wanted to direct me to.

    And what would you like from me as far as links are concerned .. a chart of the historical oil price ? -- as a quick glance at that quickly refutes the preposterous nonsense that 1) Trump got the Saudis to reduce output (at a time you have yet to state - but hopefully the information you are going to post from your link will ) - and 2) it was this action which was the cause of the oil price today.

    I follow the oil markets closely - and work in this industry - and the writer of the article is a moron - if he is claiming that the actions of Trump w/r to El Saud is what has caused our current oil price.

    This is false nonsense on steroids .. and you need to call this spade what it is .. rather than trying to defend this nonsense. Just cause you read something in an article on the net FA .. does not make it true.

    but post your link .. and I will trash it hard .. with links and so on .. Its me you are talking to .. remember that .. and how every time we have come to this point in a debate .. you get it handed to you hard .. as will be the case this time.
