Trump is doing nothing more than pandering to the oil industry because they want to export LNG from Alaska. Besides, American refineries are largely equipped to handle heavier crude - Canada is helping us out.

We only have a (very) small trade deficit with Canada if you include oil. Canada is subsidizing what we do import to help us out (you know - we’re supposed to be friends).

Don’t believe the b/s that comes out of Trump’s mouth.

You do realize that Canada is subsidizing oil for the US, right?

Had the same thought - casualty is definitely not the right word to use here

Please do!

Are they going to send back eggs?

I can’t speak for others, but I learned a few years ago that the immigration process is difficult and expensive. Trump made this significantly worse during his first term.

We wouldn’t have so much illegal immigration if the barriers weren’t so high.

Ha! The first link even includes an advertisement featuring RFK Jr wanting to “make America healthy again.”

This inherently conflicts with Trump’s instruction to challenge anti-christian bias.

I would also like to believe we have some amount of self-determination in America, but 47 and Elmo are making sure that’s not the case.

I’m on the fence here, but I think this might be an oversimplification. One of their key challenges was inability to communicate, and it was grossly affecting their happiness. Young children should never be that sad and depressed. Parents have to infer a lot of information, and this increases by several orders of magnitude with ASD children.

We’re obviously pro-autism, as pretending someone’s brain chemistry is not real benefits no one. ABA has helped overcome mole hills before they become mountains.

We kept hearing this as well, but our personal experience has been the opposite. I think ABA therapy has changed dramatically over the years and shouldn’t be generalized as such. ABA seeks to understand behavior and includes that which is unseen. Specific therapists have certainly been problematic over the years though.

I read over Biden’s statement, and it makes sense to me. Hunter was singled out for political purposes. It would seem weird if Biden didn’t issue the pardon.

This doesn’t make any sense in the context of the article. And we’re all deeply disappointed in the white people too.

I sure wish my tax dollars could help people instead.

“We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – there is no place for hate in a democracy.

Trump is getting rid of that democracy problem

Can’t blame them - I would try to get out of SC too

We were so close to electing a president that can speak in complete sentences!

Private prisons also saw a huge bump in stock prices. GEO Group is up a shocking 26% this morning and CoreCivic—once known as Corrections Corporation of America—is up 20%.

Wow. A lot of people know what’s coming and don’t give a damn.

Appreciate the insight!

What’s with the fictional quote?

Ignoring that, I think the best and worst case scenarios are too optimistic.

Worst case: Israel continues war with support from Russia and/or China. US loses influence and ally. Atrocities increase. Violence spreads.
