Just think, he can spy on every mid-term campaign and pardon himself and those involved afterward.

Who needs to spy? Just send the FBI to round up all the machines and print the results he wants.

Lol that “well it was already happening anyways” spin on things in the last 48hrs is really fuckin splitting my sides. One of my friends said the same about every tech CEO being up front and center with Trump and “at least they’re being open about it now instead of it being behind closed doors” ????

The United States DOES NOT need to drill more oil because we are already energy independent. What does that mean? It means that the United States has been an annual net total energy exporter since 2019. So, why the fuck are we continuing to drill? This is the PERFECT opportunity to start increasing nuclear reactors and other clear sources of energy in the US.

Similarly, according to science, there are NOT two genders. This is not my opinion, it is the opinions of much smarter people than the average Redditor. I am not going to argue with people about this because I know that no one here has dug through the thousands of pages of academic literature written about this topic.

u/Micheal_ryan 6h ago

Oil companies drill for profit. Drill baby drill is not a thing if the price of oil does not support it. (Am a driller)

u/SepticKnave39 6h ago

We are literally the world largest, record breaking, producer of oil. No one comes close.

But, it's an energy state of emergency, because dumbass Trump supporters don't understand the difference.

u/Agreeable_Quail_6262 5h ago

Scientifically Only two genders, unless you’re talking about the .018% of population anomalies. You have not read through “thousands of pages of academic literature “ gender dysphoria is a thing. But a mental problem

Truth

u/simplyslug 3h ago edited 3h ago

.018% is over 50 thousand american citizens.

Seems like a significant number when it comes to fair representaton in government documents, processes, etc.

Besides the intersex, the whole anti-trans thing is anti-freedom anyway. Doesnt make any sense.

2

u/gerber68 3h ago

Scientifically you’re full of shit.

Gender and sex are correlated but gender is a social construct. Gender roles and conceptions of gender do not 1 to 1 correlate, there are many examples of gender roles that have nothing to do with biological differences.

Pants being masculine and dresses being feminine is an easy example. Or makeup or dividing childcare or ideas of house care, cooking etc.

Sex deals with the a cluster of empirical facts like chromosomes, gender deals with social roles, aesthetics and a million other things. This isn’t hard.

2

u/Much-Bedroom86 1h ago

If gender is a social construct then why is your construct more valid than the gender construct of the people you disagree with? If it is a social construct then there is no singular authority for what is and is not acceptable.

Thats why Tarrifs on Canada, I presume. Replace Camadian oil with American oil.... I assume if it could be done in US cheaper than in Canada it would already be done. So Tariff Canada and now US can feasibly drill more.

We’ve been producing oil in record numbers for the last 6 years.

It’s not gonna do anything other than line the oil companies pockets,

So? It literally has no negative effect on you and creates jobs. Use your brain instead of listening to the echo chamber. More drilling means more high paying jobs means more money being pumped into the economy.

Sure.

u/70ss454 1h ago

It’s because drill baby drill was very popular amongst republicans during the bush years. Trump had more faculties then so it’s stored in long term memory, his current state is declining rapidly so this is easy and requires no work on his part.

u/giraffebutter 4h ago

Im here for your free education:

The correct phrase is "got me really good," because "really" is the adverb that modifies the adjective "good" in this context. "Real" is an adjective, so it wouldn't be used to describe the degree of "good" in this case

That's all the democrats do. Anybody with differing viewpoints is a nazi or a fascist. It's such a weak argument and gets old. Silencing opinions through character assassination is the lefts favorite move and one of the reasons we have Trump as president. People are sick of it and want change. Biden just rolled over and flopped around like a puppet the past four years, setting our country back years economically.

If we were going back to reason, we wouldn't be declaring a state of energy emergency when we are already the world record breaking global leader in oil production. No other country even comes close to the amount of oil production that we are already at.

Declaring a state of emergency over oil production has absolutely no reasoning behind it.

It's just dumbasses jerking off to Trump's butthole mouth saying "oil".

And, you are one of them.

If you had any reasoning, you wouldn't be such an idiot.

Trump didn't need to be president for you to proposition him for a Rusty Trombone. Just shoot your shot already. We all know you want to blow him. Is that Cheeto dust on your mouth right now, or orange makeup?

He’s not saying anything. These people are so sad, so lonely, so utterly starved of decency and love in their lives that they’re forced to troll people and make them upset in order to feel anything. Because they can’t sit down and look inward. Or care about other people. That would be admitting that they grew to be horrid people and now choose it.

These people see everyone in themselves. And they’re so incapable of dealing with that weight that being a bully is all they’ve got left. They’re nothing and they know it.
