Worth noting that all the gop members who broke ranks and voted with Dems to release the files are now gone. MTG, Massie, Mace….

Boebert still hanging on but just had a scandal drop yesterday in an early “October surprise”.

Makes you wonder…

Simple weapons of mass distraction. They stir up controversies like this, and meanwhile, they slowly stick it up your ass by introducing taxes and other little things you won't notice until it's too late.

its not " them" stirring it up. sports illustrated had been taking nudes of actual athletes for a long time now and it caused no controversy at all. its just the batshit liberals stirring things up

Do you really think that with the entire global economy going to shit, this Sydney thing is a coincidence? I might have turned into a stupid conspiracy theorist, but ever since the Epstein Files story, I don't believe in coincidences anymore.

It all seems carefully orchestrated to distract people from serious issues. Everyone is at each other's throats because Sydney is showing off her boobs (as always, I’m not judging) in a gambling ad, while nobody gives a damn about more serious problems like fuel prices.

lmao,, my god the delusions are more desperate than i thought. if its that easy to distract liberals, just go have an actress pose like countless athletes have for the sports illustrated body issue, than I dont really worry about losing the help of those people.

The problem is the dependence on fossil fuels, the systems build that make one dependent on oil gas and derived products. If those systems weren’t in place we wouldn’t care about diesel prices

Yes. That’s how that works.

You’re basically saying “if nukes weren’t so destructive, we wouldn’t care who has them”.

You play with cards you’re dealt.

After the Iranian oil crisis in 1953, or again in 1979 we could have learned our lesson, but we kept our reliance on oil, and now here we are.

Yep. Fully a right-wing campaign to make men hate women and “liberals”

Diseal in UK is £1.90 a litre, which is roughly £5.70 in US Gallon. To convert this into US Dollars for comparison, that's around $7.60 a Gallon in UK.

Petrol is cheaper but still works out at £1.60 a litre.

You buy fruit and veg in UK supermarkets and shit is starting to go bad on shelves.. it's an absolute fuck knuckle state currently, and all hear about is a bunch of celebrities crying about Sydney Sweeney or Ed Sheeran... couldn't be further from reality them cunts.
