How’s your fuel prices

[Backyard]

People not engaging or arguing with you on the internet doesn't make your opinions fact.
That reads like your Identity is anti democrat. I identify as an American.

Morality and values may not win elections but conceding to the lack of them is ruining this country. When someone votes in their best interest even if it compromises their morals they have sold their soul. Your vote is your approval of a politician until you make it known to them you feel otherwise. As a citizen if you vote for someone the system sees your vote as your approval of their conduct from raping children, being a compulsive liar to no more wars and lower taxes. If you are unwilling to hold an elected officials feet to the flame on an issue you disagree with you are the problem. No excuses! In your first post you blamed everyone and everything other than the person who made the decision. Then proceeded to make fun of protesters and Candice Owen's for holding the decision makers accountable for bad decisions. Thats not an American stance. You can vote for Trump and also disagree with some of his decisions. I bet most of the people who voted for him secretly do. This is America speak up!
Cast your vote AND give the politicians critical feedback on what you want done!

So, how’s you guy’s fuel prices?

They have gone from $3.10 to 4.19. Paid 4.69 in a small town Monday.
Why did you single my post out for your reply? Lots of posts off in the weeds above mine.

I never stated my opinions as fact. Hence the IMO and the "for me" statements. I identify as a conservative American that doesn't vote for Democrats, becuase they unify around a platform that compromises too many of my priorities. I have and will likely continue to hold my nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

My Libertarian friends hold the same views as you, and I ask them the same question. What are you going to do to change the system? Significant change to what has become a 2 party system in this country will not happen in my lifetime, and I'm not willing to risk my conservative priorities on a throwaway vote for a loser 3rd party candidate. I'm also certainly not voting for a Democrat due to the party's superior ability to align behind their platform, most of which is now compromised by their leftist base. The Democrats need more Bill Maher and less AOC, but that just isn't the case anymore.

In your first post you blamed everyone and everything other than the person who made the decision. Then proceeded to make fun of protesters and Candice Owen's for holding the decision makers accountable for bad decisions.

I have and will continue to make fun of the No Kings crowd, because they don't even know what they're protesting. Trump was elected, he isn't a king, and federal judges across the nation have been successful checking his ambitions when he's gone too far. The Democrats have been successful, with the help of a handful of Republicans, in stalling his agenda.

I used to like Candace Owens. However, she is has gone full crazy and IMO its because she's still butt hurt about being fired from the Daily Wire. The ego wars between she and a handful of her former colleagues and other conservative influencers is a freaking joke, and it plays right into the Democrats divide and conquer strategy. Again, kuods to the Dems for their success in this area as well.

I voted for Trump 3x. I don't agree with all his decisions or his endorsements. For example, the goon he's endorsed in the Iowa governor's race is pathetic. I also don't agree with all of his public land or environmental positions. The GOP in general has lost its way in both of these areas, especially here in my home state.

This is America speak up!

I contact my elected representatives consistently.

Again you come off as an anti democrat as if they are a rival sports team.
All of this typing but you somehow cannot say trump f-ed up by alienating all of our allies then getting the strait of Hormuz shut down?
You can't go into a bar and pick a fight with everyone in it.
Ill digress so to not get the thread sideways.

You should go listen to Joe Kent who resigned from being the director of nctc on Shawn Ryan podcast. He is pretty detailed with how we ended up here.

Great listen and thanks again for the recommendation.

I thought so even with resigning and not agreeing with the situation he was still objective and had good reasons

The administration has a lot of explaining and course correction to do. The multiple betrayals of the base on so many things he ran on is hard to swallow.

A very poignant point that struck close to home was the glyphosate immunity piece. I totally missed this in the news cycle.
-Shawn said 618k die of cancer every year. I've lost a father, older brother, cousin, aunt, grandparents, etc..., to cancer. My wife and I will probably die of it too. I've been encouraging my kids pursue their futures outside this state as the GOP has no interest in driving changes in farming practices.

Done hijacking now.... Gas prices suck.

 

[Poser]

Prediction for tonight: after the SCOTUS hearing today, expect full on rage temper tantrum mode.

Victory will be declared for the 5th (?) time and effort will be made to dump the responsibility of Hormuz on NATO countries, completely ignoring, most likely entirely ignorant of the fact that oil is a global commodity and whether the US gets oil through the strait or not, US oil prices are directly impacted and will remain so. Markets should respond somewhat positively barring a ground invasion this weekend, oil prices will remain high for an indeterminate amount of months to come, Hegseth will eventually get fired and History won’t judge this series of events kindly.

 

[ccsumner78]

paid 5.69 a gallon. today
ouch

 

[Yoder]

Anyone thinking, boy I wish I voted Kamala and Waltz? Maybe if gas hits $10/gallon and China invades. I think Iran was going to be a problem for us eventually and they were only getting stronger with the support of China and Russia. I didn't want another war but I honestly believe Democrats want this country to fail. I believe most Republicans want the same thing. Trump is dysfunctional, childish and has the biggest ego of any man on earth but I actually believe he wants to save this country. I honestly think it doesn't matter that much. I think we will destroy ourselves by voting in communism. Everyone wants everything for free and nobody reads about the past anymore. We need to fall for a global government to take over. Why do you think they opened the border for four years?

You were in NE Missouri, and you thought you were in heaven? If that's what heaven's like, I'm not so sure I want to go.
