He's finding out the answer to that really quickly. Like in the past two weeks.

Trump is scum. Pure scum. Outside of Trump, my political views are closely aligned with Teddy Roosevelt Republicanism, FDR Democrat, Abraham Lincoln Republican (preservation of the Union, anti-slavery), Reagan military alignment, Fed Reserve conservatism (1st priority control inflation, 2nd priority facilitate maximum employment), collective security (NATO) and globalist economy (TPP, NAFTA, lower trade barriers, and conversely "trade" or "tariff" wars are asinine), Democratic centrist, invest in domestic infrastructure and future leading industries to the benefit of American Economic leadership in the world, atheist or strict separation of church & state, fiercely Independent... There's not a whole lot of partisan hackery in there. More closely aligned with "make the best decision for the American people/ future" than anything else. But if you want to try to find some partisan hackery in there... go for it.

That's because you wear glasses that only allow you to see one thing. And one thing only. You are blinded. Completely. To partisan hackery. Completely unable to honestly see anything except what you want to see... which is a very dishonest way of living/ discussing anything.

Who then tries to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. Our Democracy. And whose supporters still love him anyways. Maybe even because (all) of the above...

I just want the guy who makes the best decisions for this country. Not for a White Trash Bigoted/Fascist base only.

With all this multiverse stuff going on... Which Universe do you live in Archie Bunker? Because it isn't this one. Are you visiting us from MAGA Universe? Dementia Universe? Live-in-my-Mom's-Basement Universe? Partisan-Hackery-Supreme Universe? Fog-of-my-own-Farts Universe? (Last one was Jim Cowen's suggestion...). I need to know because I want to avoid your universe. There is definitely something wrong, very very wrong, with your universe. I can't quite put my finger on it...

pretty much...

I would love to have the ability to do that myself (I think we all would...) But, no... I'm in the small-denomination contribution group...

I put a chunk of money (and have kept doing it over the past 2+ months) into different oil stocks and ETF's this year... doing really well there along with other commodity stocks/ ETF's I have...

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis (born in Ukraine) are sending (have $16 mill right now) a proposed $30 mill in donations to Ukraine; although I believe they are contributing $3 mill out of that total... That's a BIG chunk of money from Leo himself. Damn! Good job!

Yeah... BIG surprise there... for everyone! Putin. NATO. EU. Germany. Ukraine. USA. No one expected Scholz to react this way... with Thor's Hammer! And he did.

The impact of that will be negligible in America. It's Europe that would get pounded by banning Russian oil/ gas. Which is why they can't do it yet. Probably not before the end of this year. Which means the U.S. banning Russian oil will have... minimal effect.

You mean since Nixon's stagflation, right?

I think they have. I thought I saw that 2022 YTD (year-to-date) was close to 0% already, or just above that. Last year 10% of our imported oil was Russian.

My 2 cents on the Blueliners would be: Seider-Staal (Staal can stay at home on D whilst Seider carries the play. But really, we need a better player for 1st pairing with Seider. I'm ready to dump Oesterle, drop Staal to 3rd or 4th pairing, and give Sebrango/ or McIsaac a shot at pairing up. Let's see what they can or cannot do (basically, let's get ready for 2022-23). Or maybe it's Juolevi here... but, I start him out with kid gloves before considering anything more). Hronek-Leddy (offense only tandem but... why not?) Lindstrom-Juolevi (I just wanna see what he's got...) Stecher-Oesterle

Oil production in the U.S. is, slowly, beginning to increase: https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/110-Oil-Prompts-Private-Shale-Firms-To-Open-The-Taps.html

Holy Crap TWO!!!

Holy Crap!

That, and Ukrainian forces kicking their ass all over the place...

It's time to move on. Class move as maybe, just maybe, he catches on as a depth/ 8th defenseman for a playoff team...

Right below that is a comment and a link on an 11 year old boy who travelled (his parents had to stay so they sent him on this journey) by himself from Zaporijzhya to Slovakia (over 1,000 kilometers) with a backpack and a contact number written on the back of his hand. Of course he had to have had some help on the way... But can you imagine?

At least until they wise up and dump Putin. Can they at least frickin' figure out that choosing the path of fascism is not a winning hand? Quit with the KGB/ FSB/ USSR methods, just build your country's democracy, rule of law, business freedoms (once had under Putin's rule but eliminated at least 15 years ago) and starting treating your neighbors & partners with handshakes instead of threats and billy clubs. You'll (Russia) get farther as a friend than as a fascist. When will they ever realize this? It ain't that difficult.

Nuance is obviously WAY beyond your understanding.

Yeah, I was just answering that... at the same time you posted...
