No fool, Elon is getting a good return on his investing $270 Million to get the fat oaf elected in 2024.

Regulations and red tape?

It really is a damned shame.

The fat oaf's popularity is cratering and Ameicans do not want to be dragged into yet another war / quagmire.

One would think that THIS is the moment for a democrat contending for the presidency to step up and counter MAGA.

Nope, ain't happening.

The democrats are fractured and in such a state of disarray that they have no standard bearer with a message worth hearing.

So the fat oaf really fucked the pooch: now Iran, via the Houthis, is attacking ships transiting the Red Sea.

Gee Donny, do you regret letting the Jews and your clueless handlers lead you by the nose into this quagmire?

While I am not rooting for Iran I most certainly do not support the fat oaf and his inept actions as commander in chief; too bad Americans are dying and the world economy is in a shambles due to his stupidity.

Today Brent crude is up to over $100 per barrel: inexcusable!

Yesterday I went to buy a jug of oil for an oil change; last time I bought one a few months ago the price was about seventeen bucks for five quarts; yesterday it had jumped to twenty-six dollars.

WTF man?!

Remember, Trump said he expected it to be over 200 a barrel, so people shouldn't even complain about 100...

I suspect Trump misspoke, it probably will be 200 a barrel if/when we start a full ground invasion. And, he got the numbers he was briefed on mixed up on his head....
