The key to keeping the price of energy low is to always be ready to increase production.
You understand that the oil industry and the energy lobby are trying to do the opposite of keeping the price of energy low?
With the CEO of Exxon as a Secretary of State and Russia being an exporter of oil and gas, do you really think it's a priority of the incoming administration to keep oil below $50/barrel?
There's at least one girl I went to high school with who's really held up. One, (I swear to god I'm not making this up) was a stripper for a while and then got a PhD and is now the chair of a sociology department at some small university in California. She looks like she could still get up on that pole after having a couple of cocktails. Back in high school, she was one of them freckle bitches and couldn't get a date for the prom. I ran into her a couple of years later and she was smoking hot. I kicked myself for not being nicer to her back in junior year. She signed my yearbook with a heart. The hot girl that I took to the prom has indeed turned into a fat old grandma. This is why you should teach your sons to be nice to all the girls in school, because you never know who's gonna turn out to be fine as cherry wine.
I don't know why I'm telling you this. Maybe because I can't post it on Facebook because she'll see it, and anyway I'm too drunk to manage the two-step authentication that I set up for just this kind of situation.
While you're correct, one is not very many either. It is, in fact, downright few. So yeah, he's totally wrong. But I suggest that one can be compared to none fairly easily and reasonably. One one hand, it is infinitely more. On the other hand, it is barely more.
But one is going to be president and the other is going to be retired.
I think that in the present, we should expect the incoming president to be able to field questions from the press. Personally, I can't wait until the first State of the Union address.
I don't know if any of you are basketball fans, but I want my personal digital assistant to be voiced by Timberwolves (and former Bulls) coach Tom Thibodeau. If you've ever heard him speak, you know why.
what is the real problem with cutting the press corps out of the process?
Trump has no intention of "cutting the press corps out of the process". His plan is to simply never face questions. He hasn't given a single press conference since July where he takes questions.

It is the governments responsibility to secure the nations energy sources. At any cost. Plus the government also subsidizes the growing alternative energy sources using tax credits. Subsidizing the oil companies also help to keep the price low to the consumer.
That's all fine, but let's not pretend that the subsidies aren't really subsidies and that we never "cut a check" to the oil companies.
If you don't have a problem with it, I don't have a problem with the government picking winners and losers, but let's pick winners that aren't going to fuck things up for us down the road.
Those fossil fuel 'subsidies' tooke the form of deductible business expenses, the same as any other business is able to deduct
That's a common misconception among people who don't know shit.
There are layers upon layers of subsidies to the oil industry. There are subsidies for exploration, for drilling, for refining and even for shipping and exporting. And a large portion of those subsidies take the form of direct transfer payments. That means a check made out to the oil company.
Even the subsidies are much more than simple deductions. They are more along the lines of the local tax breaks that states and municipalities give to companies and sports teams. They're basically, "If you do 'X' you won't have to pay taxes for 'X' number of years". So they get to not pay taxes that other businesses are required to pay. Which means somebody else has to pay. Just not the oil companies.
And there are many more "hidden" ways that the government subsidizes oil companies, and I'm not even talking about externalities. Loans and guarantees at favorable rates, price controls, governments providing resources like land and water to fossil fuel companies at below-market rates, research and development funding, for example, are all ways that the taxes we pay go to oil companies.
So your argument that "subsidies to oil companies are just like when you deduct the cost of a new business PC" is horseshit.
Now, you wanna talk about the cost to the taxpayers of fighting wars to protect oil fields in godforsaken places, we can do that, too. Because we wouldn't be fucking around in places like the Middle East if it wasn't for oil, and brother, that costs a bundle.
A bill, pre-filed earlier this month by state lawmaker Bill Chumley
Without looking, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that "state lawmaker Bill Chumley" is a Republican. Just a wild hunch that any politician who wants to have a government-mandate that computer manufacturers must include a porn filter on all new computers must be a member of the party that believes in "small, limited government" and "deregulation".
. I'll bet there is one live right now, likely being maintained by a company (owned by friends of the Clintons) under contract to the federal government. So they can claim 'we didn't do it'.
Dumb fuck, the only "R/Trump national voter list" that exists is the one created and sold by the Republican Party. Federal databases list whether or not you are registered, and whether you voted, but not how you voted or for whom.
That you believe what Donald Trump says over the corrections his staff makes over the following weeks shows that you are susceptible to fake news.
Nobody believes what Donald Trump says. Not even Donald. You have to listen to what Rudy Giuliani and Ted Nugent say to understand the subtle nuances of his beautiful mind.

You may have missed it in all the noise, but Democrats picked up seats in the House and Senate.
Yes.
I didn't even know there were so many social networks.

She gave one on September 8, 2016. Though I'm not sure if we should believe this fake news site. It's up to you.

If you see President-Elect Trump, please mention that to him. He clearly doesn't know.

You cite a Reddit post as your reality. Think about that a second.
Desperation is a poor strategy.

Jack Thompson ("Based Jack") became a favorite of gamergators. Have you forgotten your GG canon already?
Why bring Milo Yiannopoulos into this?
That seems somewhat contradictory.

I honestly believe that the incoming President Trump showed great insight when he said this:

There is no gun registry database, just so you know.

Where can I get access to this registry of non-conforming men? Asking for a friend.
