Are you aware that you supported Biden for 4 years?

Are you aware that Trump has connections and knows how to use a phone?

Are you aware that I have access to all the stuff you do beyond watching Fox News?

You used to make some sense now and then. But you have gone over the cliff since Trump was elected this last time.

I'm certainly aware you are either incapable or unable to use that access.

AGAIN, stop listening to politicians. They are not telling you the truth.

Or maybe you just get pissed every time somebody says something you don't like, or mentions Trump.

All Trump said was somebody would obviously have to pay for the startup costs. Either the oil companies or the US, hopefully the oil companies if they participate.

How is that wrong?

And again, I never even said I agreed with it. I simply reported what he said. Same with the 18 months that got you so spun up.

As long as you know that 18 months is nowhere near anything reasonable, you're good. But I'm sure there are plenty of MAGA cultists who believe it when he spews things like that.

The problem is nobody knows what shape the current infrastructure is in. We know their current facilities are underutilized, just from the low amount of barrels they have allegedly been producing.

But who cares? It's such a minor point. Who cares if Trump got it wrong? Maybe he did, but he certainly has better intel than either of us has. We just have no clue what he means by build it, or rebuild it, or repair it or whatever.

I just don't understand why that set you off so much. And no, I didn't call Trump to verify it before I posted it.

I also need no assistance determining if I'm good. :)

P.S. I don't take anything Trump says at face value. Or almost anybody else, for that matter.
