I can not believe that 3 weeks ago Republicans (Democrats too) were in danger of losing their life during the January 6th uprising and now are backing away from finding Trump guilty of enciting a riot in the capitol. Short memories.
To many folks have went over Trumps words and can't find enough to convict him of inciteing a riot.Those were adults that went in the capitol,they made up their own minds.OF course extremist like that fellow in the fur hat and red and blue all over his face are going say "trump made me do it" because they don't want to take the blame for their own stupidity.I talked with a fellow last week that he and his wife bought bus tickets to go to washington on that day.They were at the washington monument a safe distance away from the building.He said the media has downplayed the number of people that were there,and has twisted the narritive to fit their agenda. He went with a group on 3 buses.others in this area went in their church buses at church exspense because they felt like their religious freedom is at stake as much as alot of other things and it was worth the money to be heard.
What I can't believe is the elected officials actually thought their lives were in danger.Shows a couple things,1, they don't trust the law enforcement to do their jobs,2,they don't trust the people that voted them in nor voted against them,3,they must have a guilty conscience or they would not fear the American people,4, Had the folks coming into the capitol actually wanted to hurt people,they would have needed trucks to haul away the victums.
Yes barging into the capitol in that manner was wrong. But do I blame them? No,the American people are fed up with what happens in that building without remorse from either side.Questions were ask by millions,a simple aggreement by the democrats to investigate claims of fraud would have sufficed for the majority.
Your explanation is too simple, too naive. When the crowd chanted "hang Pence", what do you think would have happened if they had found him? Same question if they had captured Schumer or Pelosi? You desperately want America, normal, every day America, to excuse their action. Shades of Sir LittleBalls. I've got to admit, he was right. Go pray on your pentagram. Maybe the ghost of Trump will re-appear shouting, "It was a landslide. I won the election. They stole it."
Do you honestly think that a group of citizens would have HUNG the vice president? SHHESH,talk about naive.
They would have never got their hands on him with no more guns than the people carried in.
If they have a person on camera breaking a window,or throwing the fire extingusher that killed the policeman,fine,they commited a crime.BUt so did that cop that killed the unarmed Air Force vet to. We have never even been told his name.They must be scared other Air Force personal will drag his sorry ass behind the barn for shooting a unarmed woman.
But folks just walking around,looking,talking,taking pics,speaking their minds,yea,it is time to let the shit go and move forward with more important issues.Like Impeaching biden for abuse of power while vice president.And cirumventing democracy by bypassing the congress and writing all the laws he wants in excutive orders.
the ink is not even dry on all the executive orders yet,just wait.
I could go on for hours.but while you can still afford it,I would reccomend getting some Pop corn and a cold drink and sit back,shit is about to get real bad --------------------------------------- added after 40 minutes
Use only registered users can see external links to follow the oil barrel price and gasoline whole sale prices.Yep,if you look,steady rise after the first of the year on oil barrel price.I can't find a chart on gas prices that I can narrow in onto the days though.
While policies under new President Joe Biden’s administration could also affect gas costs, experts are not pinning the recent rise in price to his inauguration.

As usual, you fail to post the whole storry. ONE, BIDEN IS NOT TO BLAME. TWO, PRICES OF COMMODITIES (OIL, GAS, ETC) HAVE BEEN LINKED TO THE COVID PANDEMIC. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S A TRUMP THING.
YOU AND YOUR FELLOW BIDEN RAGGERS, SO FAR HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. AND EVEN IF HE FUCKS UP AS BAD AS YOU THINK HE CAN, HE'LL NEVER BE AS BAD AS THAT CLOWM
Yes, IT'S odd timing, but, the timing is not the new president's fault. Looking at it from the previous administration's point of view, they couldn't do anything to prevent the price hikes either. Their only responsibility was to do a better job (a ten fold effort)at fighting Covid. Obviously if the main variant is the Covid numbers, no one has found a way to control it yet.
MY ONLY BITCH IS THAT BLAME FOR SOMETING THAT IS PART OF ANOTHER COUNTRY'S GAME (SAUDI ARABIA, VENEZUELA, ETC) SHOULD NOT FALL ON THE SHOULDERS of our new president.
BTW, phart, if you fight your battles with Google, you die with Google.
I didn't use google,that site has been a shortcut my desktop for over 10 years.
And normally in the winter gas is cheaper because of less demand. why is it going up? bidens threats to our energy independance.
Trump is near you now,not in the White house,whatever happens now is not his fault.It was all thrown on him when he was in,he is out,so where does that throw the crap now?On biden.
Over 11,000 American jobs lost on his first day in office in 1 line of work,some unifier he is,BUT For once I am pulling for Canada with both arms,they are SUEING bIDEN.Hehehe,hit his ass in the wallet,where he might notice it.The canadians did nothing to deserve their citizens being put out of work either and I am glad to see them standing up to biden on that issue.
Of course the “Canadians” are suing. They OWN THE FRICKIN pipeline. Did you forget to mention that? And fact check went to the company and they stated that at most, only 1000 people lost their job and mostly they were temporary anyway. I think your colonoscopy doctor went a little bit too far and hit your brain.
FYI. Trump will and should be blamed for a huge amount of crap. Being out of office doesn’t excuse him.
If you believe only a 1000 jobs were affected,I have some nice beach front property that I can sell you for a real deal in North Dakota.
Alot goes into a huge job like that.a years long job.Do some research,use Duckduckgo or another site besides Google,they are known for clipping stuff they don't like,like the truth or at least a side of the story they don't like.
phart, Google is the search engine. I could have used another search engine. This URL is of Wickepedia. Any search engine would offer this URL if you ask for "the Keystone oil pipeline".

Yea on a trend back to over a 100 bucks a barrel.A trend that even by the chart you posted,was headed downward as the effects of Trumps deregulation and our pumping our own oil were starting to take affect.
The chart you are looking at is showing
production and consumption not prices.
The balance of production and consumption
Is the main influence on price for crude.
The sharp decrease on that chart is directly and solely
related to pandemic effects on consumption leading to
an ajustement in production which resulted in
a substantial yet momentary decline in crude oil price.
Nothing on that chart allows the interpretation
made in your response. I’m left to wonder if you
have the requisite understanding on this subject.
And again,thanks to biden,if the oil companys need to borrow money,their credit rating is lower,which means higher intrest rates,which means higher oil prices. Thanks biden for fucking up America.
It doesn’t seem possible to reconcile the contradicting
assertions made to advance this opinion.
A higher crude price is advantageous to American oil producers.
When compared to world average American oil production is exorbitant.
Reducing dependence on imported oil in a cost-effective way
necessitates a fairly high minimum break even price.
Higher crude prices inevitably come with higher retail prices.
As they say, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Either a robust profitable oil sector or low prices at the pump.
You have to choose.
To a point you are correct.BUT if the Saudi's are selling us oil at 80 bucks a barrel,and we produce it for 55 a barrel,we would be using our oil.Until the opec wised up and lowered their barrel price to a point we could use their oil and keep ours in reserve. If they wake up on the wrong side of the bed and jack the price up,we go back to pumping our own.
This appears to be a fanciful hypothetical extrapolation
based on misunderstanding of rudimentary concepts.
OPEC does not sell oil nor does it dictate the price for it.
It sets production targets for member nations.
That of course has an impact on crude oil prices.
Because the 13 member nations of OPEC account for
nearly half the world production they do have a substantial
influence on prices. It is not however the only factor.
For example of the top 5 oil exporters world wide
3 are non OPEC (Russia, The USA and Canada)
Their production also influences oil pricing.
More significantly, global consumption is a key
factor in price trends for oil OPEC has no control over that.
Moreover the openly admitted goal of OPEC
is a stable balance between supply and demand.
Thus securing reliable income for its members.
They value stability as the most desirable outcome.
This is reflected in their decisions. They don’t act on whims.
All those things and quite a few more go into
the complex and subtle matrix of what makes up
the global oil market.
It is always wise to guard against seductive manichaean rhetoric
and avoid misleading oversimplification.
Companys have always borrowed money to use for exspansions,the interst is tax deductable in some cases.
Also,you need to use a search engine to read the artical.
The oil industry has been assigned a higher risk.

Still. The real reason is that the previous administration artificially held down the price to make itself look good. As soon as Biden came in, he advocated for a free market.
Wow, 35 gallons is 132 liters. That's a thirsty car. My car can only take a third of that, although it drives at 4.2 l/100 km = 55 mpg (when I'm just driving to work and back in the summer). Now it does around 6.2 l/100 km = 38 mpg.
However, the price of the cheapest pump I can find today is €1.529/liter = $7.03/gallon for normal unleaded petrol.
It is a truck with a large V8 for towing and such 16 mpg max and that is driving like a old man..But even my other 1 with a smaller engine,not much better mileage.
Bella, and yet every time there’s a big drop in the price of oil the oil companies tell us how it has to get through the system before the price drop reaches consumers.
As an aside, the price of West Texas intermediate oil is about the same price today as it was a year ago.
That can never be caused by Biden's plans. It takes months to implement any plan. However it could be a speculative reaction of the oil price to his plan to stop the Keystone XL oil pipeline construction. Or the price at your gas stations is in the hands of a right winger who wants to make you feel that Biden will hurt you.
