    LOL, tell me what? That there's nothing nefarious going on?

    So if you think that it's immoral for these companies to reap these profits, and that they should somehow give some of those profits back to the public, then should the public be forced to repay the oil companies the equally massive losses they realized in 2020?

    And BTW, I don't recall any criticism from you when Amazon cashed in on the Covid shutdowns....

    If you have a problem with the tax code, maybe you should talk to your congressman....

    Nothing illegal about profits, nor most of the time immoral.
    Just don't expect me to feel sorry for the poor oil companies.
    BTW, their "massive" losses in 2020 were on paper; cash position unaffected.
    The "loss" came from the impairments. Read the info in this thread.

    So what the hell was the point of this weeks-long discussion then?

    Will Adam Schiff be hauled up in front of a Congressional tribunal for his role in the Stephen Colbert break-in and insurrection at the Capitol last night?

    The historian Heather Cox Richardson has a column today about the advice from Judge Luttig. Worth a read:

    Yep, Trump is human scum. A vile, nasty person with a dick personality to match.

    I’d take his Presidency in a heartbeat over the current shitshow.
