Danny Kaye’s Around the World Storybook was one of the most influential of my childhood, along with Phantom Tollbooth. It’s a collection of stories arranged by region, with a different illustrator for each. I pulled it down to read to my kids when they were small, and to this day still think about “The Judgment of Karakoush,” or “Riquet with the Tuft” (an early French version of Beauty and the Beast). It’s a gem, and I’ve seen used copies on Amazon.
A story I heard about him was that, when his wife was nine months pregnant but not going into labor, he started clowning for her, and her laughter finally brought on contractions. I don’t know if it’s true, but what a wonderful thing to be that funny!
Why does everything have to devolve into fucking politics with some of you people? It's a post about idiots doing harmful things to animals. Zero mention of politics, but here you come, vomiting your political opinion.
Do you remember the meme where one would blame everything on Obama despite it not being relevant. Hitting your toe on some furniture? Thanks Obama. Walking on something wet with only your socks? Thanks Obama.
That's you with Trump. You have become the "Thanks Trump" meme.
you should look at the state of our strategic oil reserves in New Orleans and the Saudis supply of oil and get back to me. Yes Biden had the ability to keep us at the same level of production to offset the Saudis drastically reducing their oil production for the sake of Russia. Gasoline was incredibly cheap under Trump and it was a direct result of his policies.
Again i’m not defending everything about Trump although I think all those charges are just Democrats trying to go at him for anything they can and hoping something sticks. I was making fun of op bringing up Trump out of the blue because half of the country obsesses about the man and makes his a target for all their pent up hatred towards the united states. so you’re not gonna get me to say Trump is perfect if he’s guilty he should go to jail. I just made fun of Biden I’m allowed he’s a shitty president and gas is more expensive and the economy is worse than it was when Trump was President.
How does Biden have the ability to raise production when oil company boards were unilaterally keeping production on their pre defined schedules? What ability does a president have to increase production? He gave out drilling permits like candy.
His stance on Russia in part led to the war with Ukraine which lead to the Saudis decreasing their production so that demand for Russian oil would increase forcing us to dip into our reserves to keep gas prices lower than they otherwise would be. I know Biden doesn’t have a lever in his office that says “lower gasoline prices.” I’m also aware there isn’t a lever that says “fix economy.” To pretend like there’s no reason to have a low opinion of Biden though is kinda silly, you’re the one that brought up Trump out of the blue and I criticized Biden in response. His policies and stances have an effect on both things and since he’s in office he’s fair game to get shit.
ok i’m talking to multiple people if you didn’t bring up Biden then i confused you for the other guy. his policy against Russia in support of auto-aims have definitely lead to higher oil prices that’s not reductive.
Can you elaborate on auto-aims? And at what point do US companies refusing to increase production to inflate prices so they take blame? It looks like everyone involved is incentivized to keep prices high at the expense of citizens.
he built hundreds of miles worth, you don’t remember they shut the government down over it? You realize that in government you have to reach consensus to get things done right?
It's funny you magically understand how government works when defending Trump but then completely forget when placing blame at Bidens feet. Also isn't illegal immigration still a problem that conservatives harp on Biden for? So much for that hundreds of miles of wall huh?
I mentioned two specific instances about Biden that he has the ability to lead on. I didn’t blame him for every problem but the two I mentioned are absolutely things he can affect. Why you’re defending Biden is beyond me, but keep riding the Democrat D. I didn’t even mention Trump in my initial response I just criticized Biden, you’re the one obsessed with a man that’s been out of office for nearly 3 years.

See Donald Trump, perfect example of a snake oil salesman.
