they had to slow down pumping as there was no storage

than what the Fed is stating.===It's true that the price of energy flows
through the economy and eventually affects the price of
everything, similar to what happened in the 1970s and 80s. If
demand continues to outpace supply, oil will continue to rise
in price until either demand decreases or supply increases. Haven't you
heard? We have a goodly supply stored underground. Enough to
run a war for as long as it takes. Thanks to sleepy Joe, we
won't have enough pipeline to move it to the refinerys as
needed. Your adopted party is killing America. The big

are willing to trade the democracy foundation of this

decision to cancel the Keystone pipeline, and will probably
disagree with more decisions and policy initiatives down the
line. Protecting democracy has a price.

I fail to see where the current cast of characters in power have
any interest in protecting democracy, or the foundation upon
which this country was built. I don't know what's gotten into you
but you need to get it excised. :-)

If you love your Trump, you can have him. Please don't let him anywhere
near government office again however.


Trump was an egotistical arshole. But, as a President, he did a lot better
than the previous 5 did. Addressed a lot of lingering problems. Like, why
are we still paying for Europe’s defense 70+ years after the end of WW2. He
put China on notice for stealing intellectual property and then selling the
**** to us cheaper. He started no new wars, and worked at getting us out
of the Middle East quagmire. He did super compared to give away money, and
then give more away then President Joe Pathetic.

I think most people who long to be politicians have a degree of ego
that exceeds that of others. They love the limelight, the attention
and the feeling of importance or power. I crack up when a Congress
member has a news conference to announce some issue. He or she are
always surrounded by a bunch of others making sure their face is seen
by the viewers as well.

There are exceptions of course.

I don't think Jimmy Carter has a particularly huge ego. He was just a
lousy POTUS. I don't think Ronald Reagan became a politician due to
ego. He already had enough as an actor.

Trump's ego derived from his business world career. He has a sense of
practicality that doesn't sit well in the minds of ego driven
politicians referring to each other as "my friends" even if a member
of the other party. Trump calls them out for what they are.

All true. The other thing he did is call out the media for their obvious bias.
He made an enemy of them during his campaign, and that did not serve him
well during his presidency. They undermined him at every turn.
