[chicoescuela]

3. it does feel like we're burning in hell under his dictatorship administration

[maxsolomon]

4. He's a confidence man. A huckster. He's always selling.

And the East Coast is under a heat dome, so that fact has made its way onto the rusty hamster wheel in his brain.

I wish he'd spontaneously combust.

In the a summer in the '70s I was driving from Las Vegas to LA (first time ever in the area) and came to Furnace Creek. Was intrigued by the name and had to stop for a look around. Sheeeit, when I stepped out of the car was indeed like walking into a furnace.

Never experienced anything like that in my life before or since. I recall passing a few cars I guess without AC - I swear the occupants had their heads out the windows panting like dogs.

10. First time I heard him say this, he claimed the Saudis told him that. And he's been

using it ever since. It's like his brain is an old, scratched, vinyl record and the needle gets stuck in a groove.

11. The funny thing is the Saudis are (or were for a while) investing in alternatives

They were building a lot of solar farms.

MBS may be a cruel autocrat, but is smart enough to understand that an economy tied to a single commodity isn’t very viable long term.

The Saudis have been able to play the US for decades using us a mercenary force to remove its enemies. Meanwhile, they gave up their conflict overtly knowing they don’t have to use their military to do anything. Similar to Israel in many ways. They also know how much kissing Trump’s ass gets you. They are very skilled at.
