BTW, when Trump entered office in 2017, there were 694 rigs in operation and 378 when he left office. Biden entered with 378 and left with ~589. Trump even f'ed up "drill, baby drill."

Unpossible. Biden waged a war on oil. We made like 3 gallons of gas per day under Biden. Trump make big oil, no one has seen a bigger gusher than under Trump. Men with tears in their eyes would wax poetically for the days under Trump, receiving his big gushers, or was it a gusher from Bubba?

For the record this is exactly the kind of energy dominance that @Greenman voted for. He was tired of Biden's war on oil and wanted to get back to those glory days of Trump gushers.

When i see the moto drill baby drill i keep remembering how far behind the times Trump and his administration is - while he does his best to kill solar and wind and promote coal and oil whole cities in europe (and probably china) are install thermal heat systems... sure they take a bit of planning and cost a bit but long term....

Across Europe huge heat pumps are being installed that can heat tens of thousands of homes.

Every time I hear "drill, baby drill" I cringe. Makes me think the sons of bitches in the Repugnant party are nothing if not proud to be hypocrites. Did it not evolve from the slogan heard again and again and again during the Watts riots in the middle 1960s in Los Angeles?

AI:

Yes, the conservative slogan "Drill, baby, drill!" directly evolved from the Black Panther-associated chant "Burn, baby, burn!" as a deliberate political adaptation, swapping "burn" for "drill" to advocate for fossil fuels instead of expressing urban unrest, notes
Carbon Brief. The phrase gained huge traction for Republicans in 2008, notably used by Sarah Palin, to champion increased oil and gas production.

  • Origin: "Burn, baby, burn" was a chant from the 1960s, linked to the Watts Riots and Black Power movement, symbolizing fiery protest.
  • Evolution: Republicans adapted it in 2008 (used by Michael Steele, Sarah Palin) to promote energy independence through oil drilling, making it a memorable pro-fossil fuel rallying cry.
 
Nation's top fusion scientist assassinated in his home in one of the safest cities in the country isn't an omen, it's an operation.This should be a much bigger story. You know, like it is when a nuclear scientist is assassinated in Iran.

So this would be like assassinating Oppenheimer prior to testing the first nuclear bomb.
Rather troubling development. Would take one heck of an intel operation to even understand who, what and why.
 
Congrats Fuhrer, you brought us the worst November on record for game console sales since 1995 when there were 77 million fewer people living in the US.

I saw this on Twitter and some of his cult were replying "I voted for this!" I know a few were bots, and some trolls. But there were Trump supporters being serious.

Of course because it takes an idiot to think drug prices were dropped by 600 percent; so naturally they would vote for him. An idiot to be president of idiots.
 
Saw some clips of his televised rant and seems fairly clear they have to pump him full of stimmies to keep him awake and lucid. Otherwise basically a series of Truth social posts blurted at a camera without stopping for punctuation.

If you have some URLs handy, I'd like to see them. A P&N humour post mentioned it and I wondered what it was about.

The only bright spot in the economy was oil prices dropping so naturally trump has to raise those:

Except the crashing oil market is not a bright spot. It's being caused by OPEC over saturating the market. The low price of oil we are seeing, will cause the loss of thousands of jobs in the US's oil industry. Along with causing many smaller oil companies to go out of business/go bankrupt where the handful of big oil companies will scoop them up. Having only a handful of big oil companies controlling everything will not be good for the consumer. Then when Opec cuts their output after doing their intended damage to the US oil industry, oil will sky rocket higher than it's ever been.

It’s a good thing the administration is shitting all over electrification.

Yes, this is the plan but much of the US fracking consolidation already happened. The remaining companies will cut costs and wait out the glut and have more resources to do so. Workers SOL though.

Thanks. Does anyone else think that something has changed about his style of delivery?

In the past IMO he's typically sounded like a single-digit age child who's been forced to go up to the front of the class and read some random book passage. The average person who needs to give a speech as well as possible would at least give the script a once-over and get a feel for the pacing and decide where to apply emphasis / tone, whereas he would sound unenergetic and bored, apparently not attempting to make his speech sound like it's remotely interesting. If I had to be present at a formal event with him giving a speech like that, I'd have to feign having a medical emergency in a matter of minutes because he was just painfully boring to listen to.

This excerpt is actually an improvement for him IMO, I think someone's been giving him lessons and he was actually receptive to what he was being instructed. An alternative is that he watched one too many Trump parodies and decided to buck the trend, but I don't believe for a second that he would ever respond positively to that kind of mockery.

Someone mentioned that maybe he's been given some stimulants (which IMO could be correct) but I think this is more than that. I don't think that simply giving the world's worst orator a tonne of uppers is going to improve the quality of the delivery, probably just the pace.

One other thing I find weird about his (standing) speeches is how he clutches the lectern like he's being possessed by it. His whole body periodically seems to twist awkwardly from time to time.
