Eat shit liar. You haven't shown any screen shot showing that I said "the economy has been faked since 1947 to make Trump look bad". None, because it doesn't exist. **** off liar.

Show me where I posted that with quotes around the phrase.
Then show me that I faked the screenshots I just shared.

I'll wait.

Oh, and disprove any one of the quotes on the database.

Someone sure gets triggered easily every time he is proved wrong, huh?

No, that's Thx. The guy who says the economy has been faked since 1947 to make Trump look bad.

Until you show me where I made this claim, keep my name outcha ****** mouth! Got it? I am tired of you telling people I say shit I don't say.

Independence would mean no imports needed.
7.9 million barrels imported PER DAY at the low point, under Trump.

That's an impossibility without socializing the petro system. As the system exists currently, we'd still have to import petro, even if we're a net exporter of petro products.

No argument from me.
I'm the one stating we were not energy independent under Trump, when we were importing (at a minimum) 7.9 million barrels of oil per day.

You keep posting screen caps but none of them show those words spoken by me, now... go away.

From Forbes.

"The Energy Surplus Definition is more useful in my view. That defines energy independence as producing more energy than we consume. Based on that definition, even if we import some energy, the fact that we produce more than enough to satisfy our needs would mean the U.S. is energy independent.


The Energy Surplus Definition is what Trump is using when he said we became energy independent while he was in office. If we consider this definition, in 2019 the U.S. had an energy surplus for the first time since at least the 1940s. This can be seen in the following graphic when the production line barely exceeds the consumption line for the first time in 2019".

Huh... guess Trump was right... according to Forbes.

@Buck

WTF is happening to this country? And even if you can get over the whole Gorgon prayer, what about separation of Church & State???

Is it any worse than teaching kids in elementary school about blow jobs?

Rob,
In case you needed proof that the states that didn't shut down showed less deaths.

States that stayed open fared much better than states that shut down

Compared to states that instated a shutdown, states that stayed open did not have worse health outcomes from COVID-19. In fact, most of them were among the top states with the lowest COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 people.

I'd say that's a terrible article and it clearly flies in the face of science and stats. Did Florida fare well, yes. OTOH, ND & SD got hammered pretty good. Washington, Oregon & Hawaii all did exceptionally well. I submit New York's poor performance is due more to population density & that they were one of the first states to get hit than lockdown policies. Colorado and Wyoming had similar death rates but polar opposite lock down policies.

"Zealots" will do anything they can in order to support their chosen god. Even violate the rules their chosen god has set down for them.
And that's exactly what you right-wing zealots do.

Would a more accurate statement be that zealots on both sides do that??? Have you seen some of the insanity that was spread on MSNBC and The View prior to the election and the continuing BS they're spreading to explain away the loss???

Zealotry is zealotry, for sure. I don't watch broadcast TV of any sort, TBH, but I was talking a bit on the neverending hypocrisy of the right when it comes to "god" and their own actions.

The list of lies I included was to illustrate how right-wingers will violate a "top-ten" rule (one that they fought hard to keep on courthouse steps, in schools, etc) any time it benefits them.
And lying is not the only one. But I guess it's OK to violate any/all as long as it helps you achieve your goal, and you get a clean heart on Sunday morning.

Far too much being sought in the name of "God", while completely disregarding "god" to achieve a goal.

Hey Rob, 70-80% of the WORLDS population believes in God. That IS the world we live in. This includes Democrats and Republicans. Furthermore, approximately 74% of Americans believe in God. If it bothers you that people know how to use that to their advantage maybe you find a way to get things done without it being "in the name of God". Otherwise find some way to accept it. You don't have to like it but you also don't have to be bigoted to the majority.

A percentage that has dropped and will continue to drop as people realize how silly the whole concept is.
And 100% of the children of those believers believe that Santa Claus brings them presents on Christmas day. Do you?
I'm bigoted against lies used to control. I'm bigoted against hypocrisy. Both good things to be bigoted against.

And belief doesn't create reality. If it does, then Hinduism is older than Christianity by 1,000 years, and therefore the correct religion. If it does, then suddenly everyone on the earth has no nerves in their bones. If it does, then suddenly the events of Jan 6th 2021 never happened. If it does, then someone went back in time and faked economic stats to make Trump a liar today.
Sorry, fantasy isn't reality.

And it's funny how you openly admit that they are using religion as a tool to get what they want, which in itself violates tenets of religion. Rule #3 for Christianity.
