A tough week after his own economy struggling to recover with the poor jobs performance and now escalated violence in isreal and Palestine.

Surely a re-reg as yourself will know by now that any words without citation are just taken as bluster or rhetoric, so where are you citing your sources from these 'words'

It's incredible to see the Republican Party become so utterly beholden to Donald Trump. One after another GQP politicians have made their pilgrimage down to Mar-a-Lago to pledge undying fealty to Trump. Utterly bizarre behaviour.

They booed her off the dais as well when she gave her remarks before the vote. Great bunch of lads, definitely not a cult.

This reads like a continuity announcer introducing an episode of The West Wing.

Be interesting to see Biden administration reaction to Israeli Palestinian violence. It would take a brave (and probably stupid) president to criticise Israel . The Israeli vote is huge in the States !

They’ll do what every US admin does and support the Israelis, no matter what war crimes they commit.

It’s disgusting

As well as Gas prices now at 2014 levels and Over 70% of gas stations in North Carolina and parts of Virginia now have no gasoline.

So yes it's a red hot week for the Biden administration.

Hmm...that pesky 'base effect term.'

CNBC wrote:

In addition to rising prices, one of the main reasons for the big annual gain was because of base effects, meaning inflation was very low at this time in 2020 as the Covid pandemic caused a widespread shutdown of the U.S. economy. Year-over-year comparisons are going to be distorted for a few months because of the pandemic’s impact.

Gas prices have more than doubled in Arizona. Crazy.

Most states have declared emergencies and will prosecute price gouging, hoarding, etc. and it could be weeks before prices stabilize without executive action. The price is capable of being frozen, I'm surprised AZ doesn't step in if the price has tripled.

It comes down to the US not taking cybersecurity in any way serious in years, and this is not the first major cyberattack on the US in recent years either.

Gas prices have more than doubled in Arizona. Crazy.

It's almost like as if the demand for gas fell off for some reason over the last year leading to virtually every spare pipe and vessel in the world being used to store reserves. If this happened, then the principle of supply and demand may have forced prices very low until such time as usage started to increase and the reserves were eaten in to.
But seeing as it can take much longer to replenish reserves than it does to use them, this may have seen a reverse swing in supply and demand leading to prices increasing dramatically.

Of course, surely no such event would happen in the 21st century. I certainly can't think of any. And I definitely don't recall hearing how the Columbia pipeline in the US was hit last weekend with a malware attack which has impacted on it's supply by about 40% which, if it had happened, could further increase concern about supply and therefore prices.

You can blame him for a lot of sh!t, but ffs some company controlling a pipeline with sh!t cyber security is not something I would even dream of placing on the shoulders of any POTUS.

I've a picture in my head of Biden becoming Neo from the matrix and downloading all hacking knowledge in a few seconds and sorting this mess out in a jiffy

Israel acts as their hard man for their Middle Eastern ambitions and as long as they are willing (and they're more than willing) to play that role, America will always back them to the hilt and continue to make excuses for them.

Precisely which economic policy taking effect since January 20 are you or they claiming resulted in Colonial Pipeline Company succumbing to a ransomware attack?

Its that one simply can't take the things he did say when they turn out to be correct and ignore everything he got incorrect.

The poster was trying to make the point that Trump warned everyone, ignoring that Trump warned everyone about lots of things that didn't happen.

Trump has zero credibility. Even when he gets stuff right its more luck, or probability, that any innate intelligence or serious thinking on a subject.

What's funny and what a certain poster is likely going to just try to ignore because it's inconvenient, is that gas/petrol prices in the US went up under Trump before Covid hit in 2020.

They then went down during covid as there were such lower amounts of it being used - this was a global trend, and saw world storage basically hit capacity as a result.

Prices are now going back up, as more is being used due to vaccines getting rolled out (and the US has improved on vaccination rates dramatically since Biden took office) and people are becoming more active again.

And , for the US , the summer season is peak consumption - A combination of increased driving and general energy consumption from Air-Conditioning etc.

Peak price is almost always during the summer.

More than 120 retired generals and admirals wrote to Biden suggesting he wasn't legitimately elected and questioning his mental health

Things you only dare doing when you're retired and your income can't be taken away

The mental state thing is mentioned as

The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored. He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night.
Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of command.

3) Using maths, what percentage of retired, living US generals/admirals have stated that they believe the election was rigged? (Your nearest democrat will do the math for you.)

Now, compare the percentages from 1) and 3) and tell us why this is crazy?

I mean really biko, some retired army generals are questioning the legitimacy of the election, the US is bloody lucky that they've retired already.

Do you still question whether Biden was legitimately elected? Are you drinking the trumpeter kool aid?

The mental state of the previous incumbant barely passed a senility test and was so bad that he didn't even know he was taking a senility test and tried to boast about it.

The way the system is set up in the US means it's virtually impossible for a third party of sufficient size to win seats in Congress. Plurality first past the post elections means there is no room for 3rd party candidates, especially given the massive resources the two main parties have.
