So we agree that parties pick folks all the time based on lots of stuff othe than who's most qualified. Glad I cleared that up for you guys who were being so angry that Newsome wanted to pick a qualified black female to help balance out the old, white man show that runs our country. That wasn't so hard now was it?

Are you sides ATS or straight up? Either way that's impressive. And great point about props. I always think mine are "can't lose" but variance or injury or something else unexpected gets in the way a lot.

I'm a beachguy, of course I'm going to tap that sixer asap.

I disagree that she was chuckling about anything involving the nature of the case. And like it or not, our system of law is set up so that even the worst criminals get a defense. We'd all want the same were we accused. Her laughing about getting a pedo off is 100% fake news. But that aside, I agree that DAs are way too soft on crime in general.

OR nominate someone who will make the congress better reflect our country. See how easy it is for us to agree?

Are you really calling someone out for being a grown ass man when you used the term "circle jerk"?

Clinton lied to Congress.

One NATO country is tying arms to a grain dispute and your calling NATO not unified?

He can be criminally charged for lying under oath at a civil case right?

Maybe Nancy can win the gavel again? She was masterful in her destruction of Trump and his policies. A true genius. Remember her ripping his SOTU speech up? Just perfect.

And?

Don't you think Kelly has a unique perspective on Trump since he was his COS? He doesn't have close to the same level of insider info with Biden. And Kelly is just the latest former Trump employee to tell the world what an imbecile, POS he is. I don't think anyone has said the same about Obama, so not like it's a common occurrence. Trump is just uniquely horrible.

That's super interesting, thanks. So heating oil is the same now as it was in 2014, and roughly $1 more than it was in 2018, or 33%. So not really that great of an increase after all.

The US government controls worldwide energy production and prices? Interesting. And how much more do you reckon you're paying this year than four years ago?

Are there people ITT saying that if you didn't get the jab you'd be dead within a couple of years? Cause reading this thread there are lots of folks saying we jabbies would start dropping dead like flies.

But a pathetic and weakened Russia combined with a united NATO with America at the lead is America first. And I understand that we can't fund them forever. But truth is these payments are a drop in the bucket of our budget and a lot of the money goes right into the US economy via defense contractors.

I'll wager you weren't paying that much less four years ago. It's amazing how the american president controls the energy market. Also did you know that 2023 will have the largest domestic production of oil in history? Funny because conservatives tell us that Biden cancelled all domestic production.

The covid strains are so mild and less virulent now so everyone getting a vax isn't a big deal. I'm not getting one for example and I got the original two jabs. Not dead yet either. You're welcome!

Saying Hillary laughed about getting a pedo off is fake news and you know it. But I agree that too many DA, many lefties, are way way too soft on all crimes. Lock these menaces to society up and throw away the key.

Interesting. Gas is way less now than it was last year at this time. Methinks you're being taken to the cleaners. Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2022 3.315 3.517 4.222 4.109 4.444 4.929 4.559 3.975 3.7 3.815 3.685 3.21 2023 3.339 3.389 3.422 3.603 3.555 3.571 3.597 3.84 3.836

Pedo loving leftist? Holy crap what a horrible thing to say. How is this dude allowed to post such garbage?

Because he said he wanted a black female that doesn't exclude her being qualified, does it? We have sooo many old white guys in congress who in no way bear any resemblance to the makeup of the US, why is it wrong to nominate someone who brings that ridiculously skewed ratio a tiny bit more in line?

Why are conservatives against funding Ukraine now? A lot of the money goes right into the US economy. Surely you don't want the US government to use the money to pay citizens or anything right? We've all seen the inflationary results of that. Russia looks weak, their economy is in shambles, NATO is united and the US is the clear leader, and Europe is largely united behind Ukraine. Why are conservatives against our Ukraine support exactly?

And how did Trump react when the Fed raised rates the few paltry times they did under him? Rate increases that could have tamped down the inflation we all suffered under. He cried and cried and cried about the impact to the stock market. But yea, Trump had the country on a GREAT tract. He sure did.

Do you believe the qualifications for the NBA and congress cross our population in the same manner? If so then you must believe that white men are overwhelmingly more qualified to be congressmen than any other race or gender. I'll feely admit that blacks have an inherent advantage in basketball based on their physical characteristics. You clearly believe that white men are somehow more qualified to be congressmen since you don't have an issue with white men essentially setting the laws for the entire country. I disagree strenuously with you here and suggest that racism played a big part in white's having such a massive disparity in controlling every aspect of power in this country.
