How long ?

 I do not think that I have the ability to sustain this for very long - we are in March - and the election is 8 months away...... 

WE have  the tragic event of a person being killed. and killed by what they are saying was a person that had entered the country  Illegally .....   a Tragic and sad event for sure.... and we hear cries that we need to take action, to close the Border , to Screen those that are coming here better, we need Total reform of immigration laws....   and all that may be true...  plus forget for minute that there is a Bi-partisan deal on Border reform that Moscow mike johnson - the speaker of the house refuses to  even bring to a vote in the House of representatives ...   That killing outraged the GOP  (rightly so) and they want all these things to happen - But contrast that with the Massive school shooting that take place in this country - and do we hear similar outrage by the GOP ?? NO - WE DO NOT....  the GOP has been bought and paid for by the NRA lobby - contributing Millions to get these people reelected... They have no Morals - no consistency on issues,,,,, 

#2 for today - the Supreme court -  the most corrupt court in decades maybe centuries - has thrown The Orange Jesus a life line- in taking up the Idea that a president has 100% immunity to commit crimes while in office that they cannot be held accountable for...  and even IF they decide that is not the case they have delated justice to the point that trials in several jurisdictions cannot take place until after they rule that the gave Donnie two scoops a get out of jail free card.  and Riddle me this Riddler - Clarence Thomas - is going to be deciding a case where his wife is complicit in the Crime - and he will not be recusing himself !!  yea - thats justice. 

#3 - get ready for the Saudis and Putin - both big supporters of the Orange Jesus - to slow Oil production to drive up the Price of  a barrel of oil and subsequently Gasoline.  This will be the way that they will interfere in the 2024 Election. They did a test run on 2022 - that drove the price up - and they will redouble efforts to get the Orange Jesus elected later this year.. Yep the same Saudis that "loaned"  Jerrod Kutchner $2 Billion dollars after the left his job at the Whitehouse ... This next section is From Thom Hartman - I encourage you to go read all his stuff at https://hartmannreport.com/

"The bloodthirsty leader of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia loves his dictatorial soul-mate Donald Trump and is today setting the stage to intervene in November’s election in a big way, much like he did with a smaller test run during the fall of 2022 when he drove US gas prices up above $5, forcing President Biden to release oil from the US strategic petroleum reserve.

As Stanley Reed reported for the Business pages of The New York Times three days ago:

“Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, said Sunday that it would extend [their one-million-barrels-a-day] cuts in oil production through June, noting that it was acting ‘in coordination with some’ other states.”

That “other state” would be their OPEC+ partner Russia, which also announced last weekend a simultaneous production cut of 471,000 barrels a day. Putin wants Trump back in the White House, too.

This time, though, because Trump refused to block the sale of America’s largest gasoline refinery to Saudi Arabia in 2017 (completed in 2019 with Trump’s blessing), no matter how much oil Biden releases from the reserves will be irrelevant: if the Saudis shut down their Port Arthur, Texas refinery this October “for maintenance,” US gasoline prices will explode.

It’s the largest refinery in America, as Foreign Policy magazine noted in May 2017:

“Port Arthur, referred to as the ‘crown jewel’ of U.S. refinery infrastructure, can process 600,000 barrels of oil a day.”

That alone is enough to radically swing gasoline prices in the US"


and despite his rhetoric to the contrary - the then Pre-inserrectionist Dump met with Mohammed bin Salman - Saudia Arabia's Crown prince in March of 2017 - in the f-ing oval office
