As one might expect El Cheato appointed judges rule in favor of trump far more often than do judges appointed by prior presidents.
But the amount of that imbalance is beyond astounding.
From the NY Times:
"Trump’s ‘Superstar’ Appellate Judges Have Voted 133 to 12 in His Favor"
Which causes me to repeat my suggestions, from year 2020, about how we can remove power from those judges by using a technique well practiced elsewhere - redefining jobs and "rubb…

Is diesel behind the US takeover of Venezuela?
Diesel is the main fuel used in road transport, mining and quarrying, and agriculture. Fuel oil is used in shipping but with the regulations of 2020 on sulphur emissions, it is closer to diesel in character and this in turn impacts on the scarcity of diesel.
The US has to import the crude oil to make diesel. Its own crude is too light
Venezuela's oil is very heavy.
