Stop with the craziness! If you have an issue with another country it is very simple to just cut all ties with them and leave them alone...nothing bad would ever come from that!tempo_n_groove said:
They'd align w Russia, make another currency and not use the dollar for purchasing oil. Those two things would put the balance of power on whack.Gern Blansten said:Time to cut the Saudi's loose and see how they like it. Fuck them.
We unfortunately can't cut all ties w them.
It's not crazy to think that the dollar would no longer purchase oil. It is what China and Russia have been striving for a while now.

I was wondering why you answered like that too.

Granted, cutting all ties isn't realistic, but we sure as shit could find a middle ground. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.cincybearcat said:

'THERAPY IS GREAT'
They Threw a Beer at Her Head. She Chugged It. How a Comedian Owned MAGA Hecklers
Ariel Elias talks to Rolling Stone about her viral clip, a masterclass in handling these kinds of heckling assholesBY PETER WAD
A FEW UNHINGED members of a New Jersey comedy club audience must have gotten lost on their way to a Trump rally. Ariel Elias was in the middle of her stand-up set when a person in the crowd demanded to know if she voted for Trump and another threw a can of beer at her head.
Even before the heckling, “the set wasn’t going great,” Elias tells Rolling Stone of her time on stage at Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, on Saturday night. The hecklers were in a large party of approximately 20 people celebrating a “Mexico-themed birthday,” she says. And the vibes were off from the beginning. Members of the group “were wearing fake mustaches and had to be told to quiet down before the show even started.”
Elias shared a clip of the incident on social media, where it surpassed a million views by Sunday afternoon. The exchange happened during a Q&A segment of her act where she interacts with the audience.
“Did you vote for Donald Trump?” a woman in the crowd asked Elias.
“Did I vote for Donald Trump? What do you think?” the comedian responded. She added, “Here’s a question for you: Why would you ask me that in here, knowing I’m the only Jew in the room? Are you trying to get me killed?”
“I don’t hide who I am or change how I present myself. I also don’t really talk about politics on stage, it’s just not what I want my stand up to be,” Elias says. “But my perspective is that of a southern Jew, and I talk a lot about being a woman and body image. I really think I’m good enough at this to make people who disagree with me laugh and enjoy. So yes, I’ve gotten iced out by crowds, a couple of people have walked out, every now and then someone yells something. But I’ve never gotten half a free beer for it.”
Asked what she’d say to her hecklers, Elias tells Rolling Stone, “My message to last night’s hecklers is that therapy is great, I highly recommend it. Or just write down your feelings. I promise you’ll feel like throwing things less.”

Of course they are aligning with Russia. But I dont' understand your point? You're saying the perfect platform for the GOP is to make the case that OPEC is aligned with Russia? Does that mean the US should align with Russia? Did I miss when gas prices became more important than fighting for freedom and self determination?tempo_n_groove said:
Biden actually said that if OPEC cuts the oil that they are aligning with Russia. So there is that. It's a perfect platform for the GOP to run with too though. Low hanging fruit.Merkin Baller said:

I am also pointing out the easy targets that Biden will get nailed for, his fault or not. It doesn't help when he claims gas prices are falling because of him either.0 -
I have been to a bunch of comedy shows and never saw anything like that. Since Trump it has become more of a normal.
You can't do shit like that...
Glad she pwned them by drinking that beer but that's not cool to throw a beer at a lady...0 -
Okay if Putin didn't triple your gas prices, who did? Was it Biden? If you're arguing that people who trend GOP are stupid enough to think that some Biden policy tripled gas prices, I'll have to agree with that. But is that what you think?tempo_n_groove said:

i think it is fair to say that the rage from the right is different than the rage from the left. the left wants to try to do things in the normal way, while the right just goes towards violence.tempo_n_groove said:I have been to a bunch of comedy shows and never saw anything like that.

You can’t blame Putin or Biden for all of it. They were below normal to start because of COVId. So neither one is responsible for tripling prices.mrussel1 said:

After years of criticizing Trump for statements like he was better than any president, got more done than any other president, etc....
Just heard Biden say the exact same thing in an interview. I hate this part of politics for sure, always selling yourself as the best. I hate those people at my company and the corporate world...always looking for the promotion, never the sustained results. At least Biden isn't just a plain liar about things...but he is still a political spinner and Trump must have heightened my attention (and repulsion) to it.hippiemom = goodness0 -
This is a fundamental flaw of governance though. We put reasonable restrictions on a politician's tenure (i.e. we don't want an authoritarian in charge), but the public generally grades politicians not on what they pledge to prepare for tomorrow, but what they deliver today. Given that, if you're a politician - what choice do you have? You can be the humble politician talking about aspirations and forming a better future instead of today's deliverables, but your voice will be drowned out by others which are sensationalizing everything they touch, and worse - talking cynically about everything their opponents have touched.cincybearcat said:After years of criticizing Trump for statements like he was better than any president, got more done than any other president, etc....

Did he refer to himself as "a very stable genius" or "your favorite president"?
Joking aside, should he not push back against the narrative that they're doing nothing?0 -
