The world needs Russian oil. Prices will go up if Russia is unable to freely trade.

The extent that Russia is harmed by this will be far less than the extent that the US and others will be harmed by it.
You imagine a fairyland scenario where Russia is forced to sell at a discount to China. WTF?

Without Russian oil, the world's price for oil will skyrocket. Then Russia can go and say "Hey, Winnie the Pooh, want to buy my oil for the normal price?". Or maybe they just go for the current price minus 10%, still making more money than before while everyone else in the world gets screwed.

You have to be a literal retard to not see that.

To harm Russian oil you have to physically impede them from producing or moving oil. Sanctions don't mean shit when a country is self sufficient and already willing to wage war. You might as well tell Putin he can't attend the prom if he doesn't stop being a meanie.

The mentality you have on display is one of a child completely coddled by modern Western life and oblivious to how things actually work in the world. You have no fundamental concept of war or the reasons countries wage it. At best, you've seen half-assed political occupations (Iraq, Afghanistan).

Here's a spoiler for you: The DNC and media WANT this to boil over into a full-fledged war with Russia. They're begging for it.

No, that's the left.

FACT CHECK: At two inches each, a thousand burgers would not reach one mile high.

An entire article for an idiom. An article decrying the cost (a mere $3000, infinitesimal compared to the usual fare), worrying if it was enough food (it was), and looking down their noses at the whole thing (because it was fast food, which they actually enjoyed).

It's the LEFT that does this shit. And it's the left that accuses everyone else of doing the shit they're doing - from theft to rioting (or "insurrection") to sexism to racism to pedophilia to warmongering and everything else.

Thank you for being a friend.
Traveled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a cosmonaut.

And if you threw a party,
Invited everyone you knew,
You would see the biggest gift would be from me.
And the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend.

The marks that this scam is aimed at aren't concerned about privacy as such. They'll eagerly hand over their private info to Snarler, GettrByThePussy, mOAN, NewSmax, and even GRU... just so long as King Obummer II and Narc Cuckerberg, can't censor their memes about lynching Killary.

Here is a list of the 100 best American films according to the AFI. Less than 5% of them are available to stream over Netflix, but over 95% are available through Netflix DVD. If you limit yourself to Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime streaming, you are watching the results of the best ROI for production investment for their shareholders, not the best art. I'd rather get a great story than a cost effective one, even if it means I have to put in two minutes of physical effort every 90 minutes.

You are confused between two products: "Netflix" which is their streaming service with about 6,000 titles, and "Netflix DVD" which has over 100,000 titles.

Consider understanding what someone has stated before you dive into personal attacks. It makes you look ignorant and petty.

Netflix DVD is the original version of the Netflix product. You get so many DVD/Blu-ray discs at a time, and drop them in the mail after you watch them. No lag/jitter problems and better audio/video quality across the board. It's not an option for people with phones and tablets only, but a much better experience if you have a TV with an HDMI input.

Every month I spend an hour or two looking for movie recommendations, and 10-15 minutes filling my queue. I rarely lose time scrolling through the endless, mostly bland choices on six different streaming services. I have seen more fantastic movies and television in the last six months than I have in the last five years of slogging through broken interfaces.

Congress' oversight of the Executive branch.

That's not how anything works.

When the executive and legislative disagree, you go to the judicial. Congress refused to go to court. They knew they were in the wrong and would just lose.

No, it wouldn't have taken years for a decision. It was a clear cut case, and this SCOTUS has been churning out results rapidly.
