Lame, now Etsy is just going to be a wish or temu resalers hawking cheaply made goods, crack down on that instead Etsy.

Ok here is my tin foil hat conspiracy that involves the reason for the Iraq war and Deep Water Horizon. Ok so America went to Iraq on behalf of oil interests, ranging from opec to US oil companies. Ok here we go, so Iraq was flooding then global markets with cheap black market oil to India, China and France. This caused gasoline prices to be lower across the globe as there was always oil to go around introducing an artificial surplus. After the start of war the surplus started disappear and global oil markets stabilized from no longer having a surplus countries and companies had to now buy oil from manufacturers raising the price as there’s a cap on how much oil can actually be produced. This of course meant gas prices in the US (and I assume abroad) would have to go up. When Deep Water Horizon happened the administration saw an opportunity to then raise gas prices to actually what it should be. After conversations moved on from Deep Water Horizon the US government just hope people wouldn’t notice that the price of gas was never going to come down again to what they were before Deep Water Horizon happened. And that is how deep water horizon is connected to the invasion of Iraq.

That’s some real evil shit right there.

Well whose fault is that? Seriously, no one to blame but themselves, I hope they never recover tbh.

Cool, 40 more years of this, can’t wait.

Someone spent their civil forfeiture money at the military surplus store.

I’m not voting for Biden, I’m voting against trump.

Orban is an autocrat but he’s no Putin, at best he’s is Putin’s lap dog, helps keep Putin’s jimmies warm.

Oh plz Putin, do the world a favor and “accidentally” fall out of a window.

Me thinks they don’t know the meaning of voluntary.

Boo fucking hoo.

Thanks for posting and letting me know.

Where Ukraine messed up was getting a security agreement and not a security guarantee in the Budapest Memorandum.

Like for real, if people with wealth were half as kind as her there would be a lot less suffering in this world.

Bold claim from a monkey puppet, jk. I’ve watched his channel it’s really good. I found the videos on the collider to be really interesting.

Hi @[email protected] tell me a joke, and it better be funny.

I laughed harder at this then I should have.

There in lies problem. With there being no Senate investigation into the allegations we will never actually know the truth of the matter. Truth is Franken was a sacrificial lamb. Dems could claim the moral high road, justice or not, while republicans could continue to try to defend trump after multiple allegations that were of a much more serious degree.

Franken did say, “I would have sworn that I’d never done anything to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but it’s clear that I must have been doing something.” That alone is reason enough not to call them liars. It’s clear that he admits he did something to make these women feel uncomfortable, but he himself at the time didn’t feel like there was any inappropriate actions at the time. Men are often oblivious to things they do that make women feel uncomfortable, trust me I know, been there before.

Now, for why he hasn’t sued them for defamation? The burden is wildly different for public figures vs. private figures in the U.S. The bar for defamation is higher and harder to prove for political figures, to the point it’s almost impossible for politicians to prove, so they don’t even bother with it. Who knows though, with this Supreme Court I guess that’s subject to change now tbh.

Why does he avoid calling them out? IDK, I can’t speak for him or put words in his mouth and I’m not going too either. The cynic in me says he knows he is a high profile political figure that he has gotten on the bad side of dems and republicans and saw him a strong political contender. So strong that if you had ambitions of higher offices he could easily get in your way. But if a convenient opportunity arrived to oust him from office, and get him out of the way so be it, all the better.
