    Energy independence is now gone. Check the price at the pump.

    I suggest you join @GrundleStiltzkin 's new book club. Energy independence comes from technological innovation. Not whether Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden is president.


    Wait til you get to the Dakota Access/Keystone XL chapter. Federal policy matters.
    Considering where we are now, that part of the book is DEPRESSING

    Lot of people trying too hard to deny we fucked the dog this election

    It matters. Biden is weak and China knows it even if you don't want to admit it

    MAGA riots on Capital Hill are a great way to portray strength to the land of China.
    Keep following the narrative

    Whatever gets you through the night

    Enjoy Biden
    Words matter. I didn't call it a "coup", nor did I call it an "insurrection". It was a "riot" and a national disgrace, plain and simple.

    Something tells me a summer long burning and looting in everyone of our major cities had a greater impact on how people viewed our strength rather few hours long riot that that was quickly put down.
    There is no equivalence in the symbolism between the two. There's no justification for 2020 riots and looting. But they've happened before and probably will again sadly. We've never had the mob party in the Capital. This was a new low for America.

    Exactly. And don't tell me that the dem party encouragement of the rioting and excuse making along with dem DA's dismissing rioting charges out of hand didn't encourage a response. Unlike leftards which feel entitled to riot as part of a legitimate protest but then require political opponents to play by Marquis of Queensbury rules, I'm not a believer in asymmetric warfare. My VERY STRONG preference is that there should be no rioting, no blocking of streets and highways, and no protesting that isn't permitted and occurs at some decent time. In Portland, the rioting was occurring deep into the night when the streets should be quiet and people asleep in their beds. That is not the VERY STRONG preference from the left.

    The Capitol was bombed in 1983. Somehow the Republic survived. Nationwide rioting that was allowed to continue for months all across the country showed far greater weakness than a riot that was put down that very same day.

    The antifa bros and BLM folks weren't carrying Biden flags and hats coming directly from a Biden rally, egged on by Biden to go loot Target for justice.

    You're right, the DNC and every Rat mayor and many Rat Govs were carrying BLM flags as the burned and looted their cities.

    De Blassio is a piece of shit. What you want me to tell you?

    I don't see the logic in defending or downplaying the national disgrace of Jan 6th and/or trying to draw false equivalencies.

    Not defending it. Just disagreeing with you. And it wasn't just de Blasio, Mayors all over the country were sucking up to the very same people who were burning and looting their cities. Now that's weakness. Jan 6th was a bad look, but it was put down in a few hours. Looting and burning of our cites went on all summer long and most of the people who did it were never even arrested let alone prosecuted.
