Crude oil us primarily classified based on density and sulphur content. It’s all hydrocarbons and a portion of all of it can be turned into gasoline.

Only butt-munchers will reply to this comment about something vague regarding US gasoline production

Can’t do anything without holding all 3 parts of government - including a filibuster proof majority in the senate.
But yes, it would have been nice to see democrats speaking up about workers wages & universal healthcare. Loudly, broadly and repeatedly.

I’m guessing they were being sarcastic. Unfortunately a lot of people have yet to realize sarcasm is anything but obvious online, at least not in this day and age.

Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung argued in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that the event was really “a Beyonce concert,”

You picked right up on that marching order, didn’t ya.
Guess you need to latch on to something since neither Cheeto benito or kid-rock can draw crowds like that…

The? Rupert Murdoch has been running a huge propaganda network playing ‘defense’ for republicans for decades.

A third party gets campaign funds, and then what?

First past the post voting, or at the very least the US version of it, strongly favors two dominating parties. CGP Grey - Minority Rule…
A third party doing anything but fuck things up, is a delusional fantasy. Change starts with election reform. For instance https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

Rural states have a large advantage in the house, huge advantage in the senate, and of course significant skew in the electoral college. And much of it comes from compromises with slave owners.
Abolishing the EC would not mean rural regions get completely ignored, not only would they have reps and senators still courting their votes (and campaign donations), civilized countries with functional democracies have multiple parties. A rural party would show up, which could court voters in all rural areas, instead of only in swing states.

Congress of going to need to expand a little bit, if all 3,330-6,660 reps should be able to gather at the same time.

Well, they are called unrestrained continuous pollution, or ‘man made climate change’ if you will.

Mixed in-between the word vomit, he validates their hate. Unfortunately their lives are so miserable and empty, being told it’s okay to hate, is more important to them than anything else.

How is anyone surprised a weird little freak, was freaking out on the debate stage‽

If I’m not mistaken, residents can vote in local elections in many places.

I didn’t go to the dentist for 4 years, moved & Covid & postponing making an appointment 50-100 times. I severely regret not going sooner.

Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
So let’s give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so…

Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.

Yes, but even if you don’t have one, everyone will have several dozen things which can turn a flathead screw/bolt with a bit of willpower.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Frank Wilhoit

Well, the top 25 wealth hoarding dragons paid 13.6 billion in federal income taxes in a span of 5 years. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax
So you were likely only very mildly exaggerating that claim.
And before some class traitorboot-licker squeaks up about * the article looks at wealth which isn’t taxed, only income is taxed.* 1 that wasn’t the point & 2 you don’t need income when you have that kind of assets. But they built their wealth by massively benefiting from the society they pay so very little back to.
