    I’ve driven across the entirety of Wisconsin from Beloit to Superior no less than 50 times in the last 6 years. Wisconsin is home to the worst drivers in the lower 48. The absolute best time to be in that worthless shithole is Sunday at noon. It’s a ghost town when the faggot green and gold are on. 

    HEY, what's the news on the boat. Got mine ready to go almost. What's your plan?

    Great Idea…WTF

    Who is that Ken Doll looking piece of shit that fox uses as a talking head? Is it any wonder the GOP'ers are so fucked in the head? 

    That's Jesse Waters and he really is a dumb fuck. He offers his opinion, which most times is worse than Ben's. I think they put him there for guys like you......

    Justice Department launches plan to go after billionaire Russian oligarchs and their assets

    Maybe, maybe not, but what's the downside?  The oligarchs are as crooked as Putin is.  Who knows what they will do once their money is frozen and they can't conduct any transactions with the west.

    Town I keep my boat in is getting bought up by russians. They are in every business in town and don't really appear to give a shit about the businesses. They hang out in big groups at the bars and people steer clear of them for the most part.

    Putin moves on the rest of Ukraine.

    Russia already has deep water ports on the Black Sea. It’s a straight shot across the sea to turkey from Russia. There’s also the massive Turk-stream pipeline from Russia to turkey. 

    Through Ukraine. That's his motivation, not ideology. Not everyone values ideology like liberals.

    Putin moves on the rest of Ukraine.

    No. Stop thinking like a westerner. Putin wants these countries back for something more powerful than economics, this is for ideological reasons. He's been planning this for 20 years. He's older and it's become a matter of personal legacy. He is not going to stop. 

    Wrong again Spin Figure.

    U.S. Crude Output to Rise to Record in 2023 on Shale Growth

    Largest increase in domestic oil production came under Obama. 74%. Trump? Next to nothing. But you already knew that.

    Obama benefited from Bush era management of the energy industry, growth in production on private land and technology in that ability to extract more from existing sites.

    There is a great interview on NBC (think it was meet the press) where the host calls out David Axlerod on this exact point.

    Goes back to the point I made earlier the democraps try and play both sides of the issue. 

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2016/01/15/president-obamas-petroleum-legacy/?sh=7857f7b9c10f

    President Obama is walking a fine line in calling attention to this surge of oil production during his presidency for 2 reasons. One is that he wants to be known as a president who took decisive action on climate change. But presiding over a huge surge of oil production isn't exactly synonymous with combating climate change. Unless of course you couch the issue in terms of a reduction in oil imports, and then it sounds kind of like a positive for climate change.

    But I think the other reason President Obama doesn't spend more time beating the drum on this crude oil production surge is that it is readily apparent that it happened despite his administration, and not because of it. President Obama coincidentally happened to enter office just as the shale oil boom in the U.S. was getting started.

    In fact, the vast majority of the increase in U.S. oil production occurred on private land. On land that the U.S. government controls, it was a different story. The EIA reported in 2015 that while U.S. oil and gas production overall were surging, production of natural gas on federal lands was declining. Oil production is at about the same level as it was during his first year in office:

    President Obama's oil production legacy shares a similarity to that of President Jimmy Carter. In 1973 President Nixon pushed through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act, which cleared away legal challenges seeking to stop construction of the pipeline. But the pipeline didn’t start operating until 1977, during President Carter’s first year in office. As a result, after a sharp decline under Presidents Nixon and Ford, oil production rose during Carter’s term. But the production increase during Carter’s first two years in office was a result of decisions made during the Nixon administration.

    Thus, President Obama's legacy will certainly be that he presided over a dramatic expansion of U.S. oil and gas production. But if you dig a little bit below the surface, you find that there's a lot more to the story than that.

    Dubious Denials

    Obama was wrong to flatly deny that he cut in half the number of new federal permits and leases for oil and natural gas drilling.

    The number of new offshore leases has plummeted under Obama — falling by more than half, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.

    During Obama’s first term, the U.S. has so far issued 1,304 new offshore leases compared with 3,317 in Bush’s second term — a decrease of 61 percent.

    The number of new permits for offshore wells also nosedived. The U.S. approved 1,316 new permits during Bush’s second term. The number has fallen to 515 — so far — under Obama, also a 61 percent drop.

    Thanks Highmark, I didn't have the energy or inclination to just remind Greg how far he has fallen. It's just sad really. He used to be a manly man.
