Can anyone translate this? I know the media is making fun of him but his story makes no sense. He’s lost his mind

[chemiclord]

Considering right wing deepfakers have been actively editing and splicing speeches for the better part of two years, I'll need to see more sources than Sky News (a Rupert Murdoch production) report on it before I even accept that's what he really said, much less try to translate it.

You aren't going to make much progress with Trumper like Jad, he's a carbon copy of Da Geezer.

[CGVT]

Lock him up!

[froot loops]

It's embarrassing how many people in this country are like that about a con man like Trump and still are after the failed insurrection. This week I'll be making a trip deep into the confederacy (rural Northern Michigan), I'll keep a running count of Stars and Bars, Trump Flags and Dollar Generals.

Can i ask both sides of this “fence”…… the chemics, cg’s, froots …… and also the Wild Geezers (wont add Jaad as he’s clearly joking and on the wind up)………

……, but just this morning, got an email around 9am from Johnstone Oils in Fife informing me that my next refill will be £310.00 more expensive than last fill. (Live semi rural, no natural gas line; use oil ——->> fucking sparingly after that email)
I then get into the van to go do a few jobs. 10am news comes on. Now this is not FAKE, you can get this on BBC iplayer……, 1st story, BP tripled profits in past 3 months AND their second HIGHEST profit in their history
2nd story about some love island shite, then 3rd story about families bracing themselves for fast approaching winter and FUEL prices??

EH? 🤷♂️

This sounds fucking evil to me? Is this evil?

Its like we are being publicly SHAFTED and no one can (or are trying to) do anything about it. 🤷♂️🤦♂️

“RIGHT, LETS GO PROTEST THIS!! YOU WITH ME?”

”Yeah sure, man. Just watching these Love Island re-runs on catch up first.”

🤦♂️

[Marko69]

By the way……., when i said its not fake…… i meant it was really on the radio. The story itself could indeed be fake!!
Fuck knows what to believe anymore.

[CGVT]

It is true. Fuel prices and inflation have skyrocketed world-wide. Oil companies are making record profits. Of course right wing morons in this country blame it all on Biden.

Oil and gas prices have exploded because supply has been artificially suppressed. It's politics. Embargoing Russian O+G because of their invasion of Ukraine was expected to hurt them, but it hasn't. China has taken all the oil Russia will sell. It was thought that by China taking more, there would be large amounts "freed up" from other suppliers to China The Saudis in particular have restricted production. None of these things come close to explaining the rise in energy prices.

The fundamental cause of high energy costs, and the cause of Europe's troubles, is climate change and green energy. I don't know the case in Britain, but I do know that the EU has massive quantities of natural gas that are easily accessed through fracking. But fracking is banned in the EU, I believe, and I know it is in Germany. That is a political decision. If you view climate change as a form of religion, European governments have chosen to impose severe restrictions on O+G supply because of their faith in models that have NEVER made a correct prediction about the negative effects of global warming. And, of course, the largest producer of fossil fuels, the US, has been restricted from supplying our needs by the Biden Administration.

Now, as to BPs profits. I'm going to use an analogy, using American numbers. Think about your house. In the last three years or so, the price of houses in the US has doubled. This was largely due to the Federal Reserve keeping rates artificially low, yielding low monthly payments, and yielding higher sales prices. So my $ 100,000 house increased to $ 200,000. In an artificially low-interest rate environment, the price of "things" goes up.

O+G is obviously a thing. If the federal government were to tax my "increase" in home value, there would be rioting in the streets. But I did make $ 33,000 per year did I not? Well, BP has a lot of O+G in the ground, already proven, and they have chosen to "sell" part of it at artificially inflated prices (caused by green policies). Their "cost" of the oil in the ground is a fixed number, probably low. Thus profits are high.

So, go get more energy. Increase supply by fracking in Europe, by allowing more oil and gas exploration, or by lifting the silly ban on Russian oil. The ruble is higher now than when the war started. Embargoing Russia is a failed policy, so admit it.

But, Marko, we are all going to have to decide how much lower standard of living we are willing to sacrifice on the alter of climate change.

And, notice these dislocations are mainly caused by government interference in the free market.

More right wing talking points bullshit with nothing to back it up from Geezer^^^^

[Marko69]

Oh well, for frack sake……. We’re all fracked.

Going back to the sidelines to read the to & fro-ing ———>> because i’m no where close to being as clued up as you dudes…….. and……. Its a new sweet n salty popcorn, which is awesome.

That clip wasn’t edited. I know everyone wants to deflect and throw shade on Trump and why he’s hated so much but Biden is inept. This doesn’t worry you? He’s incoherent and doesnt make any sense.

Its not just Sky News. The entire world sees what a shit show this regime is. I know you guys are surrounded by American media but he’s getting trounced.

What a surprise, froot is on chemi’s nuts like always. We actually did an ip look up on froot as we thought chemi had a fake account to go back and agree with everything that he said. Surprisingly they’re 2 separate accounts and froot just likes to juggle his balls.

Look back on the posts and see how many times froot rushes to his posts to back his forum crush. I commend your choice of forum names as well since it seems it’s accurate.

I've been looking for that video outside of Sky News, and no one else has run it. Not even FOX NEWS has run that video as far as I can tell. Newsmax and OAN haven't even run that video. I literally can't find it anywhere else to even begin considering its veracity. That tells me it is National Enquirer level verifiable, and most likely would not even stand up to basic scrutiny and fact checking.

That said, would it terribly surprise me if it was? Not especially. Welcome to the consequences of electing octogenarians, which this country has been hellbent on doing for the better part of the last forty years. Reagan was quite literally senile for his second term. Trump was just as incoherent at points, and thought people should get flashed with UV light to cure the coronavirus. For whatever reason, this is the sort of person we as a country want.
