And Canada is not happy with the way the Tar Sands projects are going anyways, Harper invested so much time and money in trying to support it only for it to basically crash the Canadian economy.

Trudeau is not Harper and is not so much in bed with the tar sands projects like Harper was, and that gives Obama more leeway to basically give the tar sands/Keystone the middle finger. Nintendo Kid posted:
So what. Who cares. Tar Sands is a flop. And Keystone is not going to be the jobs generator the GOP claims it would be, especially now that Tar Sands is looking bad.

Facts never mattered and you've got an incredibly optimistic view of the past if you honestly think there was ever a point where most people were voting based on a careful analysis of actual statements made by candidates. Spite voting is a long and proud American tradition.

Necc0 posted:That's mostly in response to the Fed taking a harder position on raising interest rates. Except it also took a tumble when they didn't raise rates ComradeCosmobot posted:Exactly. The Fed has been waffling on raising interest rates over the past few months because while unemployment is down, growth and inflation aren't really up, and employment isn't exactly booming. Except that's the opposite of what happened when they didn't raise rates - it took a hit, just like today. It's almost like the market is now no longer reacting to real indicators of economic performance but is instead acting on other influencers not factored into baseline models

Many companies are losing money right now due to the price drop. Anadarko recently took a net $2.2 billion hit this past quarter alone, down from ~$1 billion net profit same quarter last year. Not a great time to be spending resources on oil pipes rather than natural gas terminals and export infrastructure. edit: beaten Amergin fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Nov 6, 2015 |

Let's take a moment to marvel at this fact: The campaign of the leading Republican candidate today has taken a hit as he attempts to defend himself against allegations that he never attempted to murder a child. Parse that sentence. Drink it in. Because it is 100% true. Welcome to the 2016 primary.

This conversation reminds me, I think Carson is going to have a more sinister version of a Howard Dean moment if he isn't able to drop out soon. No one can maintain that total lack of emotion all the time and his responses are starting to scream "there's something I think I'm entitled to and I'm not getting it"

You really are a dubmass if you think that Carson is being attacked for being black instead of being called out for multiple lies and tinfoil hat theories about how the world works.Hilariously, I love that Carson is most closely associated with a political group that LOVED promoting racist conspiracy theories about the sitting black president, but here you are bemoaning him being attacked really being about him being black.
