fify

if the tiktok flip flop didn't make it obvious, trump's convictions start and end with "i want to be president," and everything else is up for sale in furtherance of that desire.

not that that makes him unique among politicians, but any lingering belief that Trump isn't beholden special interests because of his independent wealth should be put to bed at this point.

Communist talking points are out!

If it's good for them, it's good for the middle class as well. Better than anything your side is going to give us.

Cheap energy is good for individuals, families, and business. It permeates every facet of our lives and raises the standard of living for all Americans. If the O&G industry risks capital, invents products, builds infrastructure, and is successful and the people that work in it make a good living, so much the better. Biden's executive orders were meant to make energy prices higher for everyone and force Americans towards the myth of green energy.

Trump would just be reversing Biden's graft and blunders. At least he wouldn't be scamming everyone and selling fairy dust like Biden.

FREE THE GAS CAN!

TDS is "it's ok because my guy is doing it."

But that doesn't answer the question. What are the ridiculous regulations doing in place to begin with? Undoing those is not "the swamp"

It's getting rid of government interference in the market.

Isn't that good?

Telling a room full of Oil folks "hey, I'll do what I did last time, protect domestic energy and limit the power of the EPA and/or cutback on regulations, you should donate to my campaign" is just common sense.

I am also sure you share the same outrage for the democrats when they solicit donations from Zuckerberg, Pfizer, and other companies that you have been told to praise...

And for the record, I don't really love Trump - but he's 100X better than Biden. If you didn't have a posting history that was so easily referenced, regarding your hatred for Trump, you would probably admit that too.

What about:

Prosecute my political rival at all costs with no standing to do so
Raid his house in the middle of the night on made up classified info charges
Do EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER to prevent your opponent from being able to run against you

None of those things are swampier? The list could go on very long...

Remove the specific person and the specific action from the equation. Taking special interest money in exchange for special interest policy is pretty swampy.

I don't particularly care about draining the swamp, but nearly everybody else here cares deeply about draining the swamp… until the swamp does something they like (or rather, their favored candidate shows swampy tendencies) . Its commentary on mushy principles.

Ranked: Oil Production By Country, in 2022
The U.S. has been the world's biggest oil producer since 2018 and continued its dominance in 2022 by producing close to 18 million barrels per day (B/D). This accounted for nearly one-fifth of the world's oil supply
Looks like the U.S. has been drilling…

Well...His position on O&G hasn't changed.

Your problem is trying to conflate politicians that CHANGE their position in order to get money with someone who RESTATES his longtime position and asks for money.

They are not the same thing...
