$6 or $7 per gallon is a small price to pay to defend democracy....

Yeah... and the U.S. used slave force for a long time. But this is about defending democracy. And paying $6 or $7 per gallon is well worth it.

Duly noted that you defend Russia's dictatorship over American democracy. But you might want to try to learn how the "Quote" function works, as your post was pretty much unreadable.

 

You do realize that many Americans are a paycheck away from eviction right?

And you just arrogantly assume they can all afford sky high gas prices?

How disconnected from reality does one have to be to not see this?

 

~ How exactly is the USA defending democracy in Ukraine .. ? Sanctions that are too little too late .. ? '

" You can fool some of the people all of the time. "​

​

 

There are dictators all over the world we need to put ourselves first.

 

To be fair, he ain't wrong.

It's not like the US is averse to invading other countries. On the contrary, I've been railing against it for as long as I can remember.

 

And they are one Putin puppet away from a dictatorship. And dictators don't use eviction notices to evict tenants. They use bombs. $6 or $7 a gallon is a small price to pay to avoid that.

 

Who says they're too little too late? The fact that you don't say is clear indication that you made that up or copied a talking point you heard on Fox (or other pro-Putin media)

 

I don't want to be first in line for the next dictator.

 

So you believe that, since we invaded countries in the past, we should allow an expansionist dictator to do as he pleases?

Or what was your point? Did you have a point?

 

Really? You honestly think that people who were 11 years old, 10 years ago, were thinking about fixing their situation and planning on what they were going to do when they got to be 21 years old and out on their own?

 

People are entering the job market out of collage making 7.50/hr still? If you are just coming of age, there has never been a better time to demand a decent wage.

 

In that case learn about priorities and stop the growing left wing dictatorship here.

 

If you want a decent wage earn it. No one has a right to it just by breathing. Or graduating from college

 

That has nothing to do with what I wrote.
We are experiencing Inflation, which means labor cost more.

 

Not everyone goes to college
Not everyone can demand a better wage depending on a lot of factors
Regardless, young adults have not had 10 years to prepare. And, regardless, gas is a huge chunk of the budget for a vast percent of the population. Additionally, gas prices affect the cost of everything. Even if you have an electric car, you are going to pay more for everything else including electricity because everything is tied to gas prices in some form or another.

 

So in your mind, you think that the United States is an eyelash away from being militarily overtaken by a dictatorship, and this is going to happen via a Putin puppet and some bombs, and therefore we should be happy to Pay $7 for a gallon of gas? Huh?

This passes as intellectual thought in your world, and is the product of you taking a "long time to research" the validity of this argument?

Fear monger much?

 

Hate to spoil your strawman, but I don't know how much an "eyelash" is. All I know is that we came too close for comfort on January 6. And that the culprit was a Putin admirer (and puppet). We do not want to encourage him by stepping aside and just letting the puppeteer do what he wants so we don't have to pay more for gas.

 

There is not a strawman intended. I am asking for what you are trying to say.

You said that "they are one Putin puppet away from a dictatorship. And dictators don't use eviction notices to evict tenants. They use bombs. $6 or $7 a gallon is a small price to pay to avoid that."

Am I correct in inferring that you are saying that we are a "Putin puppet away" from a dictator taking over our country with bombs? I am not trying to misrepresent your words. What does this mean? How in your mind are you asserting this would take place. There is a Putin puppet in place. Does that puppet drop the bombs on us themselves, or do they simply let Putin drop bombs on us and this puppet does not let our military respond.

Sincerely, what are you trying to imply here? With all of your purported "research", surely you can explain your position better than what has been presented thus far.

 

That is absurd. There is no way that Trump would have ever became president. It would have gone to the supreme court and they would have declared Biden president because all of that would have been under duress. The military would not have supported Trump because they swear to support the Constitution, not the president.

Apparently I have a lot more faith in our system of government than you do if you think a few hundred thugs is going to overthrow the government.

 

Things are much better then when we were comming up. Direct war, high gas prices and a recession...boohoo.
I'll take democrats inflation over republican recession anyday.
Gas prices going up, means I get more money for gimp, aka scrap wire as well...so yea.
It's always been a grind for young adults. Welcome to it. Back in my day 2 jobs could barely make rent..now 1 job at 15/hr is min wage. So getting another job should set anyone who's struggling straight.

 

"Eyelash" is most definitely a strawman.

No. You are incorrect! I am pointing out to the poster I responded to that having an expansionist dictator is worse than being evicted. When you jump into a discussion, you need to start by reading the context. And BTW, the post I responded to also belongs in a context. So you would probably need to read the whole conversation starting from the OP. Because my response will always assume that you did.

 

THIS Supreme Court? A Supreme Court that almost obliterated Roe v Wade and failed to defend public health. That gave a Republican President the power to overreach against a non-existent threatd; but denied a Democratic President the power to defend us against a REAL threat. The "evil twin" of the one created out of nothing an individual right to own guns and did not allow a State to figure out how their own electors should be allocated, and gutted civil rights and voting rights...

There are too many ways in which a President* with no conscience and a servile Senate could have accomplished "the task".

As I said: too close for comfort.

 

lol. Yea, they were going to take over the government by stealing a podium and taking some selfies. Woooooo scary. I'm much more worried about Biden's handlers just shutting down speech altogether but not worried about that either.

 

You wanted people thrown in prison for refusing to consume a pharma product. Is this interest in ones right to bodily autonomy new?

 

That is complete bullshit. Efforts at being a net exporter started before Trump, and continue today.
