    I too look forward to Bidens reaction.

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

    The heat is turning up on this administration.

    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.

    'And join us later when Donald Trump will be appearing in a Mike Lindell production called 'I won bigly.'.

    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.'

    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.

    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.

    Biden is at fault for everything that is going these days.. war in the middle east, a hacked pipeline, people telling crap companies to stuff their sh!te wages and long hours up their holes..

    It's all on Biden.

    I asked, as I know he can't answer.

    Thought Jared solved the war in the middle east?
    If Biden had any balls, he'd stand up to Israel.

    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.

    Well after 4 years of everything good me everything bad someone else you can’t be surprised that his supporters have managed to continue with the same thinking albeit flipped to suit agendas.

    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.

    Trump predicted that Biden's economic policy would lead to 5,6,7 dollar gallons of gasoline.

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