    In America diesel is primarily used by Corporations for trucking. Most American cars use gasoline. So this deal is really about lowering costs for the big companies, not about lowering gas prices for working class

    Elon Musk again showing why we should release the Epstein Files, snatch up all the billionaires in the country, and either send them down the ocean via submarine or just plain old drop them off in some deserted island blindfolded and let them kill themselves off.

    Elon Musk has supported, and still is, supporting trump’s election campaigns. Musk cannot shift the blame away from himself.

    Trump, Musk and the rest of the epstein class are the chosen representatives of conservatives. They accurately represent all conservatives. Conservatives are the enemy within.

      Conservatism is a brain defect. It is the lack of internal moral compass. Therefore the appeal of external power structures that supposedly uphold the morals. They understand that morals are important for societal cohesion but cannot comprehend how morals are possible without external powers enforcing it. And then of course just fingers crossed that that external power – dear Leader, the church, God – is benevolent. Moreover, playing this system is seen as cleverness, as “it’s part of the rules”, therefore morally okay. Moreover, they think that anyone opposing external power structures as a surrogate for moral compass actually is trying to abolish any morals. Playing the structure is fine, removing it is immoral, according to them. It is a brain defect, amd people suffering from it should be put under guardianship. About half the population.

        Most of the US has known for awhile too.

        If it really was “most”, the USA wouldn’t be in the situation it currently finds itself in.

          Low voter turn out and interference by musk and other rich fucks.

          It was only like 28% or something that voted for him.

            Then it’s perfectly reasonable to blame the third of Americans who didn’t really care enough to vote, as well as that 28% of course.

            I also blame people who didn’t put in the effort to vote against Trump.

            Yes there was some effort at voter suppression, but that was known and motivated people could have easily got past it if they cared enough to do so.

              Every single attempt to suppress voters should be an offence with jail time, not a viable political strategy for the dumbest of Nazis

                Absolutely agree.

                Unfortunately the US government operates on the “who is gonna stop me” principle.

      The military has been gutted of the ethical. Hegseth made sure of it. The worst commanders, and 1st sargents made sure of it.

      You can’t count on them.

    “The Enemy Within” is a good episode of Star Trek, and a good episode of Stargate. Why is it such a terrible fucking episode for the US?

    As I stated before, let Mexico and Canada pay for a wall. Close of the US from the rest of the world, which is now happening organically anyways, and check in a decade or so. The less shit comes out of that place, the better humanity will progress.
