    He should have been awake at 3 AM when a private company called the White House to see if they should buy Norton antivirus.

    Isn't this the free market at work?

    A private company shut down supply because it was unable to accurately bill customers resulting in fuel shortages and increased prices.

    Not sure what Biden can do about that.

    This is the biko spiral of throwing events into a thread but never giving an opinion or wanting to discuss it.

    Because the government interfering in the market is bad unless it's the democrats that's not interfering, if the GOP were not interfering it would all be about the great profits being made by the oil companies and traders taking advantage of the low supply.

    The Dow Jones industrial average has never been higher either so it must balance out, right?

    They never say which "open border policy" is to blame. As though by some degree of Harry Potter magic the porosity of the border is merely dependent on Joe having been sworn in.

    And wouldn't you know it now my Congressman is attacking Joe Biden because the CBP apprehended more 178,000 illegal immigrants at the border - the highest one month total in 20 years, according to he. But Biden is all about Open Borders, apparently. :confused:

    Is this the type of thing you'd like to see in Ireland? Seems incredibly dense to me.

    Philosophy question.

    If someone shoots up a public space or school and kills a few kids, but they were using a gun that they acquired because of legislation that 'owned the libs', does it really count as a tragedy? :confused:

    the fentanyl comes from China and the authorities know who the main people are behind this. The fact that the authorities let it continue means that they want to undermine the US economy

    "The fact that the authorities let it continue" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, for an assumption. And from there is a pretty vague and unfathomable leap to a conclusion that authorities are somehow conspiring to undermine the US economy. The authorities don't "let it continue" if you google "fentanyl" you'll get story after story of authorities busting fentanyl distribution.

    The Chinese authorities let it continue?

    You’re making some serious leaps in logic here.

    there is one main producer that lives freely. Why wouldnt the Chinese want to undermine the US in any way possible? I would frame the ccp with the worst intentions and let them prove its not true

    The fact that the GOP won't even vote for a commission on what happened on 6th Jan, when the VP himself was under direct threat and many GOP were scared for their lives, shows that there is no chance of any bipartisanship from the GOP.

    Whatever about working together on minimum wage or universal health care etc if they can't even out aside their party allegiance to protect the country they purport to love then then really is no hope.

    He's using his first amendment rights to talk about his 2nd amendment rights. He's crazy like a fox!

    Republicans: "Lefties are cancelling us!!!"

    Also Republicans: "Let's shoot people we don't agree with"

    Notice that Gaetz is not saying let's shoot them he is saying it is their obligation to shoot them.

    A sitting Senator is saying that Republicans have an obligation to undertake terrorism.

    Can you imagine the uproar if a black person came out and said it was the obligation of black people to attack white people as they didn't agree with them. Or AOC said it, Or Omar etc.

    But as usual this dangerous rhetoric will be excused, contextualised, laughed off, deemed to have been misunderstood.
