Ta, Dok. TFG seems to be incapable of telling the truth under any circumstances.

"Bannon’s willingness to tell the truth about oil production under Biden, in hopes of sending young climate voters off to vote for third-party candidates"

There are "young climate voters" who read articles from *Steve* fucking *Bannon*??!!!!

No, that's why he's comfortable with admitting that he's happy Jill Stein is busy telling her followers that oil is booming under Biden (without mentioning that clean energy is as well). Because he knows they'll never read anything that has to do with him.

This will just shift MAGAts' bitching to "we shouldn't be exporting it, we should be hoarding it for the US!!!111!134!!"

The Failing New York Times reports the Biden Administration is raising the price for oil drilling royalties on public lands, which has not changed since the TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL

Jill Stein is only pissed about the oil and gas drilling because it cuts into Putin’s profits.

Fuck her.

I don't wish anybody dead, but some people I don't mourn much. Or at all.

Politically speaking, though, I would find it very interesting if trump died soon before the election. I can't help but wonder how many trumpsters would still vote for him.

Jill Stein is still a thing?

"[T]hing isn't the word I would apply. I think she requires as least a phrase, such as corrupt Russian fellow traveler and all around loser.

This is the first mention of her that I've heard in a long time, though. So, she is still a corrupt Russian fellow traveler and all around loser, but I wouldn't say she's a thing.

"it’s one of the biggest “hidden” stories of Biden’s presidency."

same as with Kamala Harris' "hidden" vice presidency, I wonder who's hiding it.

Sure, until you're riddled with windmill induced cancer.

"how did this constantly lying asshole remake so much of American politics and media in his image?"

by lying, cheating, and gaslighting like a good malignant narcissist.

It should probably also be noted that not all "crude oil" is the same. There are differences in sulfur content, for one thing. Some crudes are lighter and are best used for fuel; others are thicker and work best in plastics or lubircants.

Local electric utility (named for the same robber baron who founded a certain basketball-playing private university) sent me an invite to a customer survey. I clicked the link and was confronted with the question, "How can we improve our services to you?"

My answer: "1). Immediately end all policies that frustrate and limit renewable energy generation by ratepayers. 2). Within six months publish a plan to convert to a ratepayer-owned or public utility within five years."

That little suitcase scooter is a cutie, but I love the big squishy seat on my solar power charged ride! It's awesome and every bit as hilarious as the suitcase.

Ya know Dok, your cold logic and clear reason convinced me!! I'll vote for Uncle Joe!! he's promised to slip me some cash (tax credits, whatever) for converting my furnace to electric so I can run that off solar, too!
