Devildog1985 @devildog1985.bsky.social · 14/03/2025It's concensus opinion among Dem party rank and file, that our leaders lack courage, bravery and refuse to act in accordance with the reality of the moment. If lose/lose, vote to obstruct Trump wrecking crew by closing the government for as long as it takes. Shutdown will not matter by Nov-26 010
Devildog1985 @devildog1985.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Trump said on Meet The Press that he will focus on "drill baby drill" as a means to get cost of living down. Crude oil is currently trading below $70bl and gas is $2.99/gl. Drilling more oil into global supply would create a glut, driving prices lower. Producers will never allow that to happen. 050

Devildog1985 @devildog1985.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Make no mistake.
