The Next President is...

[disgruntledemployee]

Ok, seems I gotta spell it out for the folks in the room here.  Years ago, Trump say, all you gotta do is grab em by the pussy.  Its a control thing.  He has done that to a large majority of the republic party, politicians and voters alike.  For the politicians that know better but go along with trump they are weak ass pussies, weaklings, and spineless turds that won't stand against him.  For the maga voters, same shit.

My analogy has nothing to do with DEI, it's purely a figurative statement to say, today, most Republicans are weak, and Trump has grabbed by their weak ass pussy.

There, does that make more sense?

Username checks out.

I can’t think of anything more weak than a president who has to use the baby steps into Air Force one, has to be pumped up with uppers to deliver speeches, and who only makes the decisions/takes questions that are approved by his handlers.

For those who say the President has no say in the price of gas/fossil fuels.  Thanks Biden.

“Minimum lease bonds will soar to $150,000 under the new rules from $10,000 -- a level unchanged since 1960.

Royalty rates will rise to 16.67% from 12.5%, and the minimum amount companies can bid at oil and gas auctions will increase to $10 an acre from $2. The rental rate for a 10-year lease will double to $3 an acre for the first two years, eventually rising to $15 per acre in the final years. The fees can be adjusted for inflation after 10 years.”

The dumber point of this is that higher costs to oil and natural gas on federal land will predominantly affect offshore production.  And the rapid expansion capability within the US system is private land fracking.  

So this move is really just incentivizing increased investment into/growth of fracking.

The royalties may mean actual money… everything else is budget dust to budget dust. The lease bond is returned after conclusion of the lease, unless there’s an issue—then it becomes budget dust on the insurer’s books.

Probably won’t make gas cheaper, but once the dust settles it likely won’t have a meaningful impact.

Except, as bus driver pointed out: Incentivizing extracting the same product in places where the Public has less of a stake.

This is a nothingburger.

Edit: Did a little more research. Lease bond isn’t returned. It’s a mechanism to keep the riff-raff out. Rest remains.

I just learned today that our President's uncle was a pilot.

And he was eaten by cannibals. Yuck! And it reminds him of Trump. Double Yuck!

BOSEY. That needs to be a young Lt's callsign somewhere.

There are several different threads I could post this, but since this one has been quiet lately, here it goes:

So the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, the main agency advising Biden on economic policy, doesn’t really understand how the government borrows its own money.

Today, May 3rd in perhaps one of the tone def actions taken by the Biden administration (and that is saying something), the U.S. Department of Education announced an investigation of Emory University over...."Anti-Muslim discrimination."  Seriously, if you voted for this clown, punch yourself in the gonads, repeatedly.  Weeks of campus protests calling for genocide and the destruction of Israel...this is the response.

I completely understand the distaste for trump, but holy shit, if one votes a second time for this disaster admin, they’re brain dead.

There are 5th graders who know more about our economy.  

Bernstein...with a name that Jewish, you'd think he'd know a little more about money.

After the 10+ time of telling CO I have not been a resident for 10 years and to take me off their registered voter list (and they promised me they would), my in-laws received yet another mail-in ballot for me. The election machine is well oiled in this country, nothing to see here!

Somewhere between 80k and 100k people were at the Trump rally in New Jersey yesterday.

That says something.

Sadly that’s everyone outside of the Newark / Edison / Philly metro - guess who has higher numbers. Same with upstate Ny - outside major metros it’s about as red as you can get, but the city outvotes everyone. 

[Biff_T]

Between Biden and Trump, I'd rather have Trump.   In a normal world, I'd never consider voting for Trump but Biden and his crew of flunkies have got to go.  I knew a retarded dog who was more self aware than Biden.

Sure, but there’s a difference between voting for someone and going to his rallies as well as voting for him.  I’ll vote for Trump because I agreed with a lot (definitely not all) of his policies (even though I personally dislike him) when he was president, and I agree with very few of Biden’s and also think he has major cognitive issues…but I’ll never go to a Trump rally, even it was within a 30 min drive.  So I think the rallies are a reflection of the differences in enthusiasm for the candidates, which is what the vast majority of the polls have been saying for a while.  Now Trump still had far more people at campaign events in 2020 compared to Biden, but that was also in the height of Covid… which today very few people seem concerned.

The vast majority of the polls also show that Trump is doing quite a bit better with minorities compared to 2016 and 2020.  Add in the fact that Biden’s approval numbers have been in the upper 30s/low 40s for quite a long time…which no president in recent times have been reelected with such low approval numbers 6 months out from the election, and I think the nod today definitely goes to Trump.

I think it will once again come down to turnout, and don’t underestimate the Dem turnout machine.  I wouldn’t be surprised if either one when given how divided the country is, but if I had to put money on one today, it would be Trump.

I think and hope its going to be a blowout.  Most fence sitters aren't going to say they are voting for trump.  If polls are to be believed (they shouldn't) then Trump is out in front from what I've seen.  I really fear the potential outcomes if its really close.  Either way.
