Continued mistrust of government's motives and their neglect to uphold our laws and lack of support for our constitution and bill of rights.

Definitely more divided. With how much legacy media lies and stirs people up with fake info, I'm not surprised. I can't wait until legacy media gets canceled and we can start having conversations again.

I am looking forward to the 2022 midterms when Republicans take the House and Senate. I hope they have no mercy on the evil and corruption in our current government. The democrat rats are leaving the sinking ship by the dozens.

The Democrat polling numbers are sinking like a rock every day that Biden is in office. I say it will be a landslide for the Rs.

Because the GOP leaning folks tend to invent their own reality when logic, reason, and science disagrees with their demagoguery.

Lets be clear it was definitely NOT an insurrection or coup attempt! And why are the 500 plus riots in Portland, Seattle and other big cities, investigated and tired and jailed for burning police stations and so much more, they were slapped on the hand and let go! Antifa was Was parrt of D C riots.

If there's any doubt about how divided we are, read some of the claims in this forum then compare them to facts.

We have a party system. We will always be divided as long as we stay with our current government system. And as Americans we are too stupid amongst ourselves to overlook differences.

What a question. Of course, the country has become more divided because some really ignorant, and just plain stupid individuals who believe the bullshit put out by T. This country is deeply in peril and those who support his lies do not even realize what they are doing to contribute to it.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
