If someone has advice on how to break through to trump fans I'm all ears.

I thought her and Biden did a great job and she would have done a great job too. But no matter what it would have never been enough for you or your MAGA buddies.

How can Trump only have 3% inflation when the average tariff is 9%?

Are you trying to blame Biden for all 9%?

What did Biden spend on? What is Trump spending on?

Trump is going too far threatening corporations. Yes, Administrations in the past have used the bully pulpit. But Trump's taking it to a whole new level. Okay fine. I guess then the next Democratic president will take it to a whole new level after this. Fine. Since you don't see the difference, you'll be okay when the next Democrat is even worse than this.

Obama kept Bush's tax breaks because it would have been politically unpopular to undo them. Imagine what Republicans would have said. And did he have the votes to undo the Bush tax breaks? How about the fact Obama didn't pass any NEW tax breaks? He didn't pass the Trump tax breaks, right? So at least he didn't pass MORE tax breaks like Trump did. He just didn't undo Bush's. You don't see the difference between not rolling back tax breaks and passing additional tax breaks?
Inflation is 2.7 not 3 Biden caused a massive expansion of the government funded by debt which causes inflation. HIs energy policies also drove up inflation In 14 months 1.2% inflation went up to 9.1%
 
This is just sad. With all your limited time, you decided to wax philosophically about the effect of context on statements and call me dishonest despite now admitting that you have no idea if the context had any actual impact.

I understand perfectly well what you're doing. You're creating a permission structure to believe whatever you want. You see that Pirro obviously lied, but don't want to admit it. How do you reconcile these? You tell yourself a story that it was "taken out of context", which is a commonly used tool amongst the right to ignore statements you don't want to think about.

This is all done to ignore Pirro's lie.
The litany of replies by trumples on this thread are all of the same vein. Denial, avoidance, deflection, never considered engagement on the topic. I rarely get anything else when posting something that makes them feel defensive.
 
Not a single one of those slowed down US oil production. There are plenty of areas where they can find oil much cheaper than the arctic. They only sold two leases in the ANWR. No oil company wanted to join the venture.
It's just not fair of you to be responding with factual content obliterating their assertions. Don't you have a GIF or a cartoon to post to level the intellectual playing field?
 
Biden campaigned on stopping fossil fuels and he did driving up the cost of gas and creating the worst inflation in 40 years
10 Ways Biden has Killed U.S. Energy1. Canceled Keystone XL Pipeline2. Halted ALL new oil & gas leasing3. Killed 5-year offshore leasingprogram4. Nominated hostile, far-left activists5. Invalidated Gulf Lease Sale 2576. Pressured financial markets toabandon fossil fuel projects7. Cut onshore permitting8. Burdensome greenhouse gas,reporting, & pipeline rules9. ESG for retirement savings planinvestments10.Begging Iran, Venezuela, & SaudiArabia to produce more oil
And yet none of that effected our oil production boom.

and after a few month below last years high marks we're are in record territory again.
 
In reality the Gov. is asking the Citizens to discontinue the districting commission in response to the partisan move in Texas.

Look for it to go Nation Wide.


What's amusing, Boo is that you really don't seem to grasp that Democrats have ALREADY Gerrymanded the crap out of every State that they control! Texas isn't doing anything that wasn't already done in Illinois, Massachusetts, Vermont and California. Why is it "partisan" when the GOP does it but not when the Democrats have been doing it for DECADES! I hate to break this to you but when they do the next census, California, New York and Illinois are going to lose Congressional seats and States like Florida, Texas and Tennessee are going to gain them. That means more Republicans in the House and less Democrats.

There is a lag between permitting and the production of oil and natural gas from new wells, Boo. Biden production numbers were in large part due to the amount of permits that were gotten in the waning months of the first Trump administration. Producers saw the writing on the wall.
 
Texas isn't doing anything that wasn't already done
You mean since the last time Texas Republicans did it?

Texas is already Gerrymandered. When did those other states redistrict in the middle of a decade at the behest of their king to gain seats in the mid terms?

Again, the amount of the tariff isn’t directly related to inflation. When Biden was President inflation was 9% and you made all the excuses in the world, with inflation 3% you are crying about prices. Yes inflation is going to continue, just go ask your boss for a raise like you told me to do a few years back. :rolleyes

As far as a whole new level, not really, look at the way Obama went after the greedy evil banks, the evil greedy insurance companies, the evil greedy hospitals, the evil greedy doctors and on and on. Then Biden blamed evil greedy big oil, and evil greedy corporations for inflation, it is all the same bullshit, nobody is better or worse and I also disagree with the powers to the Executive Branch growing, I complained since Bush and it keeps getting worse with each President, it is that you don’t mind if Democrats abuse power only Republicans, I hate if either abuses or stretches it, because it allows the next president that much more power and it is way too much as it is.

So Obama is all good for not rolling back the tax breaks he promised and got elected to do because it was unpopular? That is your stand? You continue to prove me right. Also, Obama could have used an EO to get rid of them because Bush used an EO to grant them.

All you have is excuses for your side, it keeps proving I am right over and over again.

Your party does it, it is fine, the other party does it, they are terrible and evil.

Give me a break, you are just a partisan lemming, just like Republican lemmings, you agree with your side so you don’t have to think.
 
I was struck by the revelations of text messages by Jeanine Pirro to Ronna McDaniel for two reasons. But first, here is what she wrote.

Ms. Pirro, a former Fox News host who is now the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., told Ronna McDaniel, then the Republican National Committee chair, in a text in the months before the election: “I work so hard for the President and the party.” Ms. Pirro had been pushing for a pardon from Mr. Trump for her ex-husband, Smartmatic argues.

A weekend personality on Fox made her case for her ex-hubby's pardon by sending the message about how she used her position as a broadcaster to work for trump and the Repub party. Other text messages from other anchors show just how much Fox was in the tank for trump by fomenting the "stop the steal" lie. This, from a cable station many millions of conservatives rely on for accurate information to inform their opinions. The problem being, it isn't accurate.

As a quick aside, consider how radically different the political landscape would be if the Fox talking heads had done what they should have done, what the facts told them to do, acknowledge trump's defeat.

The second thing is Pirro was rewarded for her hard work shilling for trump by being nominated to be the US Attorney for DC. Replacing Ed Martin.......a man so corrupt even Senate Repubs refused to confirm him. Repubs had no problem confirming Pirro despite the obvious compromise of her ethics and lack of ability to make impartial prosecutorial decisions. A furtherance of the corruption of the judiciary by trump as a reward for Jeanine's loyalty.

Back to my original question. How can I get trump devotees to take the small step of recognizing Jeanine Pirro should not have been nominated, nor confirmed, to be DC's US Attorney in light of this unequivocal evidence? Because if you can, perhaps you can take the next step. Maybe look in to Ed Martin and why Repubs refused to confirm him. More importantly, ask yourselves how trump could have put him in a temporary role as US Attorney in the first place and then assigned him to work for the DoJ.

Then maybe, just maybe, you can take the final step. You can ask yourselves why being in agreement with trump on border security has translated to support of what happened to Andry Hernandez Romero. Or this...........

Or this.........

Or this.......

You mean the fire sale of federal leases Trump offered the oil companies in his last months. There are good leases or shares with loads of seismic data in the Permian Basin for sale. The US Oil Patch is mostly on private land not federal land. The data is plain, the economic crunch from covid cause a slow down in production. New drilling slowed down by half in 2020. But once the recovery happened, the production numbers have again been on a steady uphill climb.
 
You mean since the last time Texas Republicans did it?

New York State tried but the map the Democrats drew up was SO blatantly unfair that even an appeals court packed with liberal judges said it was illegal! The Democrats are complaining about the GOP doing something that they have been doing for decades! I hate to break this to you, Boo but if California and the Democrats want to start a Gerrymandering war? The Republicans are going to come out way ahead on that deal simply because so many liberal States have already Gerrymanded districts so that there is no GOP representation even in States that voted over 40% Republican! You can't Gerrymand something that's already BEEN Gerrymanded!

Let's have this discussion before the mid terms, Boo. By then it will be Trump's energy policies that will be affecting oil and natural gas prices. I'm pretty confident we're about to see a healthy drop in those prices. Are you confident we won't? :)

Texas has been gerrymandered to help Hood Rats like Jasmine Crocket to win elections.

Sorry, but no. Which is not to say communication isn't part of the issue. At least in the sense of conservatives relying on the kind of poison folks like Pirro puts out on the airwaves. As shown by the recently revealed internal emails and text messages within employees at Faux. Like this...........In one text message, Mr. Watters, who now hosts “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News, said to his colleague Greg Gutfeld: “Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL,” a reference to the movement trying to overturn the results of the election.

I'm not crazy enough to think any one of you will change your party or your votes because of something I post.

But I think it's a fair question to ask whether there are no other qualified conservative lawyers available to fill the role of DC US Attorney? Why Pirro. Known for her rhetoric, not for her legal expertise. Especially after she compromised herself by explaining to McDaniel how she had abused her role as a broadcaster and violated the trust of her audience by "working hard for trump and the party."

What makes it so goddamn hard for you people to admit her nomination and confirmation showed bad judgement by trump and Senate Repubs? That it was a mistake. That loyalty and a willingness to carry out a corrupt agenda is the measuring stick trump uses for appointments, not service to the people in Pirro's jurisdiction.
You don't think that Pirro has legal expertise? What do you base that opinion on?

It's going to be fascinating to watch what Jasmine does now that her district has been redistricted. She's going to have to run against another Democrat in THEIR district! THAT is going to go over really well! (eye roll)
 
I see you are not yet ready to face what you and those like you have done to damage the country. You likely never will.
You mean to damage what you warped, subversive, perverted, anti American pieces of pure shit progressive democrats wanted to do to this great nation.

I mean, I kind of feel sorry for you prog dupes. You were so close, if you had just stole 2020 for a competent human being, but instead you got a dementia ridden shell, that was the stupidest man in the Senate, even before Barrack picked him, and his sidekick, a vapid, dumb as a box of rocks, word salad, cum dumpster for Montel Williams in the 90s.

So, instead of coming in here daily crying like a spoiled child that was told he can’t have that cookie before dinner, snap out of it, take your nap, and realize that if you’ll attach that bottom lip, to the top lip, you’ll be better off almost instantly…
