    I mean, they’re being incredibly explicitly about it. The funny part is that most of the oil companies really aren’t interested and the admin is trying to push them and sweeten the pot with subsidies

      Them being explicit makes me think it’s not true. The comments about the Nobel prize makes sense as does a test run to see the world’s reaction if they do something similar to other countries like Greenland or Canada, both of which they have been talking about since election where as Venezuela came up out of no where with the initial “drug boat” bombing in what? October and the kidnapping late December/early January…

        Yeah, honestly kinda seems like they’re doing it just because they can. Which, even that is barely being hidden.

          That’s another option but seems unlikely based on personality. He doesn’t seem to hurt people cause… He hurts people to feed his ego or demonstrate his power.

    I appreciate the honesty. It’s been exhausting watching people twist themselves in knots trying to justify these events otherwise. I think it’s a boon to those that oppose it.

    The old man in the costume jumps into the Mystery Machine and just rips off his mask in front of the whole crew. Then steps back out and returns to terrorizing the abandoned theme park.

    Can we stop giving shit to drugs now? If the cops/feds aren’t bringing them in, they’re not a problem you can solve with violence.

    Drugs are nice. I like drugs.

    Oil, however, can go fuck itself.
