AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Hope that's resolved. (but it validates that popular threads, even off topic, can yield positive results)
On to today's comedic interlude. I present a paragon of hypocrisy brought by our current administration.
Is this true? The folks who shut down the Keystone XL, restricted drilling permits, tripled gas prices, depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and refuses to refill it, prevented Natural Gas exports and wants to shut down fracking are now concerned about the price of gas? When those prices went up they claimed the President had nothing to do with gas prices, when they dropped slightly it was all because of the Presidents efforts. Gas prices are still near twice what they were in 2021 and currently going up. This time there is no longer a reserve to use.
Hey! It's Joe Biden! He can fix anything by just signing a decree! It's not anything like Trump spending money to combat a pandemic, the pandemic is over and now Biden can spend that money on more important things like DEI and pathways for invaders (sorry, I meant "newcomers") or some 500,000 promised vehicle charging stations (total so far ~ seven).
I'd better stop there before I really get into a rant and say something bad.

The keystone pipeline was going to do NOTHING for the US. Not only would it not be up and running(do believe it was slated for 2025 or 2026) but the pipeline was only a delivery system to move petroleum to the gulf so it can be put into tankers and shipped away! It was to help sell our petroleum aboard. Even though the US, at present is pumping more petroleum than ever before and is the world's biggest petroleum producer, it isn't enough for you to look at the actual facts. Permits to drill also, have not gone down. You can tell as again, the US is the world's top supplier. Kinda hard to limit drilling and still produce more than the world.
Who sets the gas pricing at the pumps? Is it the federal government? Is it the president? Is it foreign interest groups? No, it's the freaking petroleum companies. Now with the summer surge coming, where historically, prices have always gone up, people are going to want to travel. Summer vacations, times at the beach, whatever, and the corporations see this as to gouge more profits because they can.
Jesus, it isn't a difficult topic to be educated on, but if you aren't butching and moaning about anything and everything. Most people would think that you passed away.

They are too stupid to realize that the Democratic policies you stated above are THE main cause of inflation. DIESEL FUEL IS $4.00 or more a gallon. Every trucker had to double the shipping cost of delivering all goods. Everything get delivered by diesel truck. Only a fool would think this is working.

Except that inflation has flatlined. The US is not experiencing any dramatic and abnormal inflation. The Biden administration has foreseen to limiting that. The fear mongers you listen to hate that fact so they harp up inflation, when it's not really there. It's not like your praise of Argentina, which is at 268%, compared to Turkey's 68% and the US's 3.3%.
This page displays a table with actual values, consensus figures, forecasts, statistics and historical data charts for - Inflation Rate. This page provides values for Inflation Rate reported in several countries. The table has current values for Inflation Rate, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency plus links to historical data charts.
But a bigger fool is to think that republican policies would have actually changed those numbers coming out of the pandemic, since their control of congress has only produced the least productive house in US history. Unless you want to count MTG and her initiative to literally fund Jewish space lasers.
Happy 4/20! Funny how the connotation attached to that date has changed over time. From being Hitlers' birthday to the Columbine school shooting and more commonly a cannabis celebration.
In a lighter vein, I just need to ask ~ What is with people today?
How about bluetooth on a fishing lure?
Some all-pervasive need to connect everything? I'll admit, I'm an analog kinda guy. A Timex watch in a digital age, I've heard it somewhere.
Some might say that I'm just not keeping up with technology but, really? How does connecting your phone to your toothbrush make either of them work any better?
Complication does not equal improvement
Most perplexing is that somebody invested time & money into creating some truly "WTF" things expecting people to buy them, and people actually have.
Ladies and Gentlemen! Step right up to the grand distraction! Pay your coin and take no chance, eyes forward only, please.
Of course, the trial. (before anyone asks "what trial? Be specific!" I do mean the Trump thing going on in NY)
It seems to be a big issue. Prosecution made their case. It would give them credit to call it flimsy at best.
Whether they let Trump take the stand is unknown. If they do, they know it will be a rant turning it into campaign propaganda. If they don't allow it, they risk being labelled as prejudiced.
And will Avenetti be allowed to testify? He was Stormy Daniel's Lawyer back in 2016 and is willing to testify on Trump's behalf.
It's all over the so-called "news", I could pull articles from CNN and MSNBC and Fox News all over it.
So, what are they not talking about?
Problems between Ecuador and Mexico? A military coup in Belarus (That country Putin recently positioned nuclear delivery systems in)?

It seems to be a big issue. if you call criminal charges serious Prosecution made their case. you mean opening remarks and the 1st defense witness. There are many weeks yet to go It would give them credit to call it flimsy at best. again, only the opening remarks have been made. Nice try to downplay it
Whether they let Trump take the stand is unknown. you do realize that trump's own lawyers can put him on the stand. It is not up to the prosecution, since he is the defendent, and not a witness If they do, they know it will be a rant turning it into campaign propaganda. which means that he could face contempt of court charges and make himself look more the idiot by not helping in his own defense If they don't allow it, they risk being labelled as prejudiced. again, it is not up to the prosecution.
And will Avenetti be allowed to testify? He was Stormy Daniel's Lawyer back in 2016 and is willing to testify on Trump's behalf. is he on the witness list? Does any of the informationhe had not done in pre-trial that would have bearing on trump's charges of falsifying business records?
It's all over the so-called "news", I could pull articles from CNN and MSNBC and Fox News all over it. well, regardless of what i think, trump is famous. He is the first US president to face criminal charges.
So, what are they not talking about?
Problems between Ecuador and Mexico? A military coup in Belarus (That country Putin recently positioned nuclear delivery systems in)? you are indicting big news for not talking about the news? You don'tmake money in the news businessby talking about what is happening in the world, you make money by talking about the most salacious topic that is being tqlked about.
Boy oh boy oh boy... can someone please help Jym here, he has switched his rectum and his mouth...
The truth hurts doesn't it...get ready to bend over again as the idiot you voted for in NJ is raising your taxes again. They couldn't run a hot dog stand never mind a state.

what truth? He got basic facts wrong, not partisan facts, not alternative facts, the basic ones.
But I will let you in on a little secret. When you show your liberal card, they knock down your tax rate. Why do you think the joke that we are all "card carrying liberals" comes from...
