$2.33/liter is $8.82/gallon.

I simply don't care enough to do my own research, so take it with a grain of salt, but according to Gemini, taxes/fees are over half the price of gas in Israel. So, ironically, they seemingly pay pretty close to the same 'underlying' or sourcing cost as we do:

What else did I miss?

The thread has become routinely overrun by TES fags who hyperventilate (while erect) at the thought of a draft which isn't happening, but which they believe is right around the corner. Any day now, the walls are closing in.

the walls are closing in

It's a bombshell.
It's the beginning of the end.
It's the tipping point.
Etc, etc.

And we're days if not hours away from the SAVE act and Birthright Citizenship ending the Democrats national chances for at least the next few generations?

WHOA, THIS IS NEWS. Exactly the kind of update I needed! Anyone know going on with this timetable?

Also, howdy, nice to meet you.

Who would have thought the doomer would be retarded

Dont worry brother we figured that out a while ago.

Paging @Useful_Mistake, while the "Rape is sexy" chick, E. Jean Carroll, still still has a month to file her reply to Trump's SCOTUS petition, we do have an amicus brief in support of Trump filed by America First Legal Foundation, see attached. Some highlights:

Hey gang, and @Useful_Mistake if you're still interested, just wanted to pop in and share the hilarious constant rescheduling on the SCOTUS docket for Trump v. E. Jean Carroll, the freaky old lady who thinks "rape is sexy" and accused him of raping her despite not being able to prove it reliably (but who cares, it's Trump so let's just convict him anyway amirite).

Kinda seems like they just do not wanna deal with this, but they also don't wanna deny cert. I've attached her response and his reply, but I've been dealing with too much Stuff IRL to dig in on these really. Have fun or just laugh at the screenshot!

It's over.

If it was the Voyager, I'd believe it.

They are just a figurehead at this point afaik.

The King actually has some pretty solid powers actually. As I recall, he can veto legislation from Parliament BUT the caveat is that if he does that parliament can abolish the monarchy or strip him of all power (which they'd do immediately in all likelihood). IIRC the king could also name new lords to the house of lords to push his agenda, but again parliament could just neuter him in that case.

the most concrete thing however is the bully pulpit. there are still enough loyal royalists out there that the king could probably make things pretty disruptive if he wanted. the trad brits would love that. he won't of course because he is a boomer libshit retard.

And don’t ever be ashamed of that.

@Joy Jay never admit you are wrong to these mongrels. Ever.

Plenty of tards out there, living really kickass lives.

Watching Trump do all this stupid and hypocritical shit makes me wonder how people operate nowadays. They reelected him knowing the poor job he did in his 1st term and his 2nd term reminds me of how an OG Chris Chan presidency would be.

I believe even people who reside here can do a better job than him as president. If only we didn't let culture war issues affect politics as a whole.

I really think if we just give him a 3rd term he will have it all dialed in by then, the first 2 terms are really just about learning how to be a president anyway

tbh drag is kinda based and redpilled. so what if noem's husband wears dresses?

 

[CEO of Gay]

Wait.
Usha Bala Chilukuri Vance is from California?
Ew.

Hey now, some cool people in this thread are from California. @CaliforniaRaisin, @LiquidKid, and @blue gopher snakes, to name three that come to mind.

Mexicans are the first to acknowledge their culture has some hilarious stereotypes that are true. All of my offensive jokes and slurs about Mexicans I learned FROM Mexicans. Hell, the depth and breadth of insults about Guatemalans would need its own volume to document.

This seems similar to the comment on Japanese twitter a couple days ago that said Americans are "idiots, but geniuses", and instead of getting butt-hurt about it, Americans respond, "Yeah, that sounds right."

I only ever see them wrangling carts for the grocery store. Used to see them at Wendy's in my old town. They had a program. But, I don't know if I would go as far as to call that living "kickass lives."

Still, that might be a good fit for him. If not, I heard some britbong downies (now that's a bit redundant, isn't it?) are doing drag shows, now... I'm sure the bongistani downies would make him feel right at home.

I still don't understand the appeal of Trump. I get that he was a New York real estate person/entertainer who wanted to be the center of attention and also had a reality show called "The Apprentice" but I do not get how despite all the revelations and lack of skill in doing the job he was elected to do that he can still have a cult to himself.

I understand how the culture war has affected how people perceive and do things but politicians should not be using the culture wars as an excuse to neglect their duties. If I managed to get elected for example, I would do the job rather than act like an influencer on social media.
