#4 Well, I'd like my health back and my job back, but assholes like him spent a decade and a half destroying both and jacking off every night about how much progress they made.

#7 #5 Yes, but as in the riot years they attack those who they think have anything. Neighbor against neighbor. Friends against friends. Most neighbors are strangers now so: whatever, as the youth say. You can hold out only so long. 24hr guard duty, No water, food, electric, heat, so what's-ya gonna do.

#10

One form or another of "fracking" has been around for a few years. This old foto shows a crew "shooting a well." Blasts in the oil patches of TX, PA, OK, and Ill, were not uncommon.

#11 There's a place on the map in PeeAye called Pithole. There's not a town there, but there is a big hole where a nitroglycerine warehouse exploded back in the early days of oil well drilling.

#12 Stop shutting down pipelines and stopping fracking then, you feckless old fuck.

#13 Ref #11: Yes, very dangerous work. Many stories were told about nitro factory accidents and well mishaps. The foto depicts the loading of a torpedo. The torpedo was carefully lowered down the hole to a prescribed depth. Then a heaving firing mechanism (piece of iron) called a "go devil" was run down the line to ignite the charge. THe blast created an underground cavity for the crude oil to gravity into and be pumped out. Wells back then were much more shallow. Some less than 1500 feet deep.

#15 Correct me if wrong wasn't it his political party that played CLIMATE.... killed a pipeline and drove fuel up almost 100%. All in 9 months?

#16 These assholes hate the American working class. The best stimulus program - the most "progressive" policy - is one that lowers the cost of basic goods and services, the essentials that everyone depends on.

In America, that would be the cost of GASOLINE and ENERGY.

If you truly want to put money in the pockets of low- (or no-) income Americans, them you'll support cheap oil and natural gas. You'll support fracking -- the best thing to happen to America and American families in fifty years.

So what do the leaders of the supposed party of the Working Man do?

They support Burn-Loot-Murder, Tranny story hour, union giveaways and Green-Grift. And they oppose the one thing - fracking - that would do more to alleviate the burdens on our poor and working class families than everything else put together. F--kers.
