  1. I guess it read to me like you contradicted yourself - you'll vote in your financial interest (tax), but you'll vote for Biden over Trump. Sorry if I misinterpreted that to mean you would continue to vote for the GOP for everything except for POTUS. And yea, when the leader of your party authorized a release from the SPR when oil was at SixtyfuckingOne dollars, I think it's germane to the conversation about which party is in your best financial interest. The current populists in the GOP will do everything they can to keep oil prices low. But their rhetoric would be more friendly to the industry, no doubt. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/15/trump-says-he-has-authorized-release-of-oil-from-strategic-petroleum-reserve-if-needed-after-saudi-attacks.html
  2. I'd even argue that the aims of the current GOP are not even in your financial interest. If 2024 is close and the Raffensperger type GOP leaders don't hold the line and actually do overturn the election this time, the damage to the country/economy/oil prices will make you wish you'd opted for the higher taxes option. The populist version of your party will still be doing stupid shit like boneheaded releases from the SPR, but at least they'll have more 'murican flag lapel pins I guess? Surely you don't actually believe this? Did you watch TV at all during the latest round of primary commercials!? Republicans at every level of government in TX were blasting out how they were Trump's preferred candidate. And it's not just the GQP crazies like that gremplin Huffines, it was the supposedly sane candidates too. In a sane party, attaching yourself to TFG who instigated 1/6 would be something you would avoid like the plague as a candidate, not plaster all over your mailers and the airwaves. Right?
  3. The SPR releases are total horseshit and won't do anything except likely force us to refill the SPR at even higher prices. The Jones Act is a POS law that needs to be thrown in the trash too, but that's another conversation altogether. It's very disappointing (but not surprising) that our industry is being used as a political football at a time when we should be flexing our energy muscles to help bring more stability to the world while at the same time creating more high paying jobs here at home. Fucking depressing and why we can't have nice things.
  4. Yup, I did that this morning.
  5. Pull your head out of your ass. Just because you don't hear about 1/6 in your Echo Chamber of Bullshit doesn't mean "Nobody gives a fuck." This board is full of former self-identifying Republicans who don't mainline Fox News and know that the GOP has gone completely off the rails and 1/6 is a big fucking shit stain on our democracy. I have run into quite a few people like @Porterhouse in my professional circle who know that the GOP is an embarrassment, 1/6 was a BFD, Trump is a buffoon, etc. but still vote only in their financial interest. They can't bring themselves to support candidates who might raise their taxes or be hostile to the industry that butters their bread. It's shameful, but it's better than dullards like Struggle who don't see the problem with a little lite treason out of their party leaders if it means they can maintain their grip on power. Baby steps, amirite?
  6. Fucking this. Confirmation hearings are a thing of the past if you don't feel like fucking with it and/or are in a pinch and need a real boot licker in an important post. The mango mussolini out front shoulda told ya.
  7. Yea, this. The echo chamber of bullshit won't even mention this magical gap in POTUS' phone logs on 1/6.
  8. So Antifa was violently attacking the capital and our brave CIC didn't make one phone call!? No conversation with his cabinet, the DC guard, no one to do everything he could to stop the mayhem being carried out by those hooded, soy boy, Antifa fucksticks!? Man, what a fucking crock of shit.
  9. "unclear who had targeted the group" -Yea, it's a real fucking head scratcher idnnit!?
  10. TLRY up 23% on the day, I'm still down 63% in my position. CLVR up 143% on the day, I'm still down 71%. I may have entered these positions a little too soon and then didn't DCA.
  11. What in the actual fuck man!? Blue helmets are where you draw the line? Not the slaughtering of women and children all over Ukraine that there is ample evidence of already? I understand the overall argument you are trying to make here, but you're flailing wildly now.
  12. That was my thought too - homeboy won't even sit close to his closest advisers at a table but is going to come out of the bunker and travel to the G20? It's horseshit that he's invited, but I don't think that bunker bitch has the stones to travel right now.
  13. This would echo what I've heard from my clients. It's not their inability to get permits or any regulatory pressures, it's that the people controlling the purse strings don't want them to drastically ramp up. I don't see how they could say that increased activity is "not dependent on price" though. Everyone has a number where the upside would be too much to ignore. Or maybe it's a sustained $100/bbl pricing, but someone is going to make that money.
  14. I think you might be better served shooting yourself with a .22 rimfire rather than the polar bear.
  15. #ETTD - Everything Trump Touches Dies. Sorry boutcha Mo
  16. We were just outside the cone on the latest track. Getting bands of pissing rain but no hail that I can hear. The poor folks in Alto may have taken another hit tonight.
  17. I think north of Lovelady. It’s headed to Latexo/Grapeland right now.
  18. Tornado on the ground just outside Crockett. This sucker is going to come pretty close to us. It should miss me slightly to the north, but I’m watching close and will wake up the kids and head to a closet in an hour or so if need be.
  19. Yup. My local east Texas station had been focused on the stuff headed towards Tyler but has picked up the Madisonville cell and is watching it now too.
  20. That college station cell looks like it’s on a line straight towards me now. Hopefully it peters out a bit over the next hour or so.
  21. I'm between Lufkin and Nac and we're getting the lube ready over here too.
  22. Fart in a tornado.
  23. Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad about yourself.
