  1. 91 indictments. Republicans : la la la I can’t hear you. 🤣 Fraud, Rape, killing soldiers, golf, stealing elections, voter fraud, stacking the Supreme Court even praising Hamas are all only crimes if Democrats do it. With Republicans every accusation is an admission.
  2. another well thought out rebuke from a Republicunt. Well done.
  3. It would probably be ok if Trump hadn’t lied about paying down the debt and creating jobs. Then along comes Biden with the most job creation and also the best employment rates since the 60’s
  4. You are too dumb to realize that the other businesses that benefit from this also have their hand out for corporate welfare. It’s not just going to Bezos pocket so he can buy a yaght built in Europe. The smaller satelite businesses get hand outs so they can afford villas in Europe. All to help Amazon take jobs from local suppliers and sell more Chinese goods. AOC hates welfare as much as you. It’s just you differ on who the recipients should be.
  5. "Academics at the University of Calgary are calling for a public review of the Alberta Energy Regulator, describing it as secretive and too close to industry. In a peer-reviewed report issued by the university’s School For Public Policy, three authors examine what they call a “massive policy failure” in dealing with the large and growing environmental liability left by the province’s oil and gas industry. “There needs to be an inquiry of some kind,” said co-author and resource law professor Martin Olszynski. “Albertans don’t have the information they need.” A spokeswoman for the regulator said recent programs funded by industry and government have improved spending on reclamation. “Over $1 billion was spent on closure activities in 2022,” said Teresa Broughton in an email. Alberta has about 230,000 drilled wells that need to be abandoned and reclaimed. Another 90,000 have been abandoned but not reclaimed. That liability is estimated to be at least $60 billion. Some estimates double that. The university report concludes that liability is the result of years of regulatory cosiness with industry. “You have 30 years of essentially bilateral meetings between industry and the regulator,” Olszynski said. “The records we do have show very clearly how an initial policy would be proposed by government and then over the course of 20 or 30 meetings a very different policy emerges.” As well, the report says too many of Alberta’s environmental requirements are left to the regulator’s discretion. Legislation requires companies to clean up after themselves, but that obligation comes only after an order from the regulator. Although the province now has reclamation spending targets for industry, those targets are also set at the regulator’s discretion. The report says the word “may” — as in “the regulator may prescribe conditions” — appears 190 times in Alberta’s Oil and Gas Conservation Act, 84 times in its Pipeline Act and 437 times in its Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. Alberta once had a requirement that all wells inactive for more than 10 years be abandoned, placed back into production or have financial security posted for their abandonment. That program was cancelled in 2000. “The absence of legislated time frames for closure work means that, in almost all cases, the work is only conducted either voluntarily by the licensee or when the regulator issues an order,” the report says. Broughton said the regulator is working on the problem and now has mandatory requirements for spending on well closure and remediation. “Mandatory closure spend quotas specify the minimum amount of money that licensees are required to spend on closure work each year,” she said. That requirement has grown to $700 million in 2024, from $422 million in 2022. In 2022, 4,461 sites received reclamation certificates, an increase of a third over the previous year. However, the report says that requirement is also set at the regulator’s discretion and the 2024 target is lower than the $764 million forecast when the program was set out. The percentage of spending required is also significantly lower for operators deemed financially at risk. The report criticizes how the regulator has, over the years, choked off the information it releases around the financial health of companies acquiring oil and gas leases. The regulator used to post how much security each company had posted, as well as its score on the system used to assess ability to clean up old sites. The information on security was no longer posted after 2010 and individual liability scores were kept private after 2019, says the report. The report also criticizes the Orphan Well Fund, an industry-funded and -run group that is supposed to oversee the reclamation of wells for which no owner exists. The authors say the fund’s board is dominated by industry and is exempt from freedom of information legislation despite receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in public funding in recent years. The solutions to Alberta’s huge unfunded environmental liability aren’t going to be easy, said Olszynski. Some may feel the economic benefits are worth it, he said. But he said no informed debate is possible under the current regime. “We don’t know enough about how this came to be,” Olszynski said. “How is it that over 20 years, the inactive well inventory mushroomed and nobody decided this was a problem?” -Calgary Herald
  6. Don’t remind them the the Republicans best Middle East buddies are allowed to bomb your buildings and murder citizens. They hate facts.
  7. Maybe if I do it a third time you’ll show how long it will take to get $140,000.00 in income tax back from shitty paying Amazon jobs.
  8. Agreed that neither gives a shit about foreign lives. But if you are going to be selfish (you are Mercan) wouldn’t you rather a President that loses less American soldiers and spends far less for regime change? Blaming Democrats for Iraq and Afghanistan is like lighting your house on fire and blaming the fire department for not getting there fast enough. Iraq and Libya had equally shitty leadership. What was the cost of Regime change in each? It’s funny how the withdrawal from Afghanistan was all Biden’s fault. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/10/13/trump-ordered-rapid-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-after-election-loss/
  9. If you wrote this in 1999 you might not look brain dead. But since then Republicans have been multiple times worse than Democrats on all fronts. Righties lost their shit about Hillary’s emails while ignoring that Bush hid 100 times as many emails that coincided with his planning an illegal invasion of Iraq. Republicans spent a lot of time losing their shit over a few dead soldiers during Clinton’s time and beat Benghazi to death. But somehow the low of life over the shitshow in Afghanistan and Iraq was fine. Then as soon as Obama was out of office suddenly soldiers were expendable again. Trump is just as rapey as Bill Clinton but the difference is Republicans know Trump is a rapist and still vote for him. Bill Clinton wouldn’t get the nomination now but Trump is the top choice among Republicans. let’s not forget him stealing military secrets and also telling some random Australian at his club about your nuclear sub’s capabilities. If he does that for bragging rights you know he’d sell secrets for money. Maybe that’s were Jared’s 2 billion came from. Now Republicans are cool with Representative Boobert giving handles at a kids show. Didn’t her husband like to wave his dick at young girls? They want Jim Jordan as speaker even though he covered up sexual assaults at college. Kids went to him for help and he did nothing. What a piece of shit. Gaetz pays to fuck 17 year olds. This isn’t an accident, meeting a chick at a bar and having some form of plausible deniability, dirty fuck was paying for young girls. Why the fuck is George Santos still in the party? Oh right because as shitty as he is, he lies less than Trump. Al Franken got turfed from the Democrats for far less than Trump admitted on tape. How many years have the right complained that the courts were crooked and owned by liberals? When you found out the Supreme Court was stacked by the right and then sold to the highest bidder, crickets.
  10. While you are at it Work out the US soldiers deaths cause by Republican lead illegal wars Vs Democrat. 16 Saudis attack the US so Bush attacked Afghanistan and Iraq which allowed him to funnel a fair portion of 2 trillion to his buddies while killing soldiers. How many US soldiers died when Clinton put Iraq in their place. How many when Obama went after Libya? How many got killed because Trump attacked Iran to take the attention away from his impeachment?
  11. "I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs." A spike in poisoning among the Trumpty Dumpties happened after your stable genius suggested this. 🤣
  12. But did the government have to bribe Amazon with corporate welfare to the tune of 140,000.00 per job? Funny how it’s bad to help the poor but billionaire hand outs are fine. it’s the same argument with green energy incentives. The excitable right loses their shit over rebates on ev’s but ignores the billions given to foreign oil companies.

  14. Far from a genius. Just far smarter, honest and less crazy than most republicans. Republicans wouldn’t even turf George Santos and are still dumb enough to support lying Donald Trump. “ My 10,000 square foot condo is 30,000 square feet. “ “ I never met Stormy Daniels” “I declassified the documents that I lied and said I didn’t have by thinking about it” He can’t go an hour without lying and you dumb fucks think he serves the voters. 🤣
  15. As many as health Canada suggests. cases are rising better swallow another UV light and some Lysol.
  16. I know you love to vote for liars. But you don’t have to make up shit and you can’t expect to be believed. also why the fuck do you care about one American death? bush caused more American deaths than his business partner Bin Laden and you voted for him twice. I wonder if watching you dumb fucks fall for Bush/Cheney lies make Trump realize you stupid fucks would fall for any lies.
  17. You have to mention Trump and steaks. Another one of his yuuge failures.
  18. I bet not one of her detractors clicked the link. Try to find one Trump interview in the last year where he seems more capable than her. Nut job spews crazy lies every time. Even when his interviewer is trying to help him not look crazy.
  19. Of course you’d have to be stupid to believe it has merit. That’s why 90-% of the Trump supporters on this site believe it’s valid. Weird that with all these major issues facing Merca Republicans would waste time on this sham. It’s not just whack jobs like Boobert Gaetz and MTG. One of the top choices for speaker is the head cheerleader.
  20. You were hoodwinked. Amazon didn’t commit to 25,000 jobs. It was a 10-20 year projection. Year one goal was 700’ they ended up bringing 1,500 Jobs without corporate welfare.
  21. All it took was a half wit to destroy the well thought out Republican case for impeachment.
  22. But but Republicans support the little guy like self made Donald Trump and Matt Gaetz. For women they Boobert and MTG.
  23. She went from being a bartender to calmly eviscerating lying Republicans. If you watched this you’d really be pissed off. They have a clip of her making a case against crooked Donald Trump only 8 months after bartending. If a Republican did it, it would be proof that Merca is great. But it’s a Democrat it triggers you.
