And Isn’t That What Really Matters?

Mike Johnson: "I talked to the president about it as soon as I saw it and told him that I don't think it was being received in the same way he intended it. He agreed and he pulled it down. That was the right thing to do. He explained how he saw that and I don't think he thought it was sacrilegious at all."
Not what Trump did, but what he thought he as doing. He is, after all, only a child….

Oh! That’s not what Johnson meant?
Imagine if pigs could fly, and ice cream cones grew on trees, and we all lived on the Big Rock Candy Mountain!! That’s what we should pay attention to!
Sen. Roger Marshall: "The good news, ah, what gas in America right now is $3.14 a gallon on averag-- no no, $4.14 a gallon, forgive me. $4.14 a gallon. In Europe right now it's $7 a gallon. So it's not great, I'm concerned about it. The good news is we're the largest oil producer in the world. Yes, I'm asking Americans to make a short-term sacrifice."
The sacrifice of not living in Europe, where they have universal healthcare and free college education and several months family leave, excellent public transportation, a higher standard of living, better quality of life for more people, and shorter work weeks? And the downside is, you pay more in taxes for gasoline, but the upside is public transport is far better than anything in America?

Huh. 

I’m sorry, you were saying?
So many people so stupid about how oil is an international commodity sold in an international market.
