American Politics

[GDreams]

There are thousands of drilling rigs stacked in Canada and USA. Drilling can ramp up quickly in both countries to easily increase production by 2,000,000 barrels a day within a year. Canada would have increased their production by 1 million barrels a day last year of the pipeline had not been cancelled. There is not a lot of excess production available because Biden has killed almost ever pipeline proposed in last 2 years. There is not a lot of exploration being done because Biden is trying to kill the oil and gas industry. Biden is the reason oil companies are not drilling. Biden is the reason that the USA has to use their emergency oil reserves to try to hold pricing from increasing again. This is not a good thing. Biden is begging other countries to drill more wells but blocking domestic drilling and pipelines. Canada and the USA are the leaders in technology in drilling and extracting oil and gas. Other countries are antiquated and don't care about the environment at all. Biden begging other countries to drill rather than have USA produce oil is totally contradicting his climate concerns. Biden is a joke. Expect gas to go higher. Expect oil companies to drill in other countries and employ thousands of workers in other countries to meet the USA demand. Let Biden be a puppet to OPEC and Saudi oil. Let Biden boost the economies of our enemies that hate us so we can buy their oil and use the money against us. We are going to be dependent on crude oil for decades. A Republican president will have to fix Biden messes. Yes Biden will be millions into poverty and many will not be able to afford $7-$10 a gallon gas. They will not be able to afford good. Stupid people keep defending him. Biden is counting on a lot of stupidity for votes in 22. Looks like he has yours.

Firstly the Canadian oil sands are mined not drilled which clearly shows your ignorance. Prior to the pandemic the oil sands industry was in crisis as the breakeven for this supply is over $50 per barrel and this oil being bituminous has lower yields and is more costly to refine so sells at a steep discount. To increase production requires major investment in mining equipment and processing plants to separate the oil from the sand and convert it to a form that can be transported (all of which is expensive and energy intensive). The fact that even at current pricing this oil isn't very profitable and that the Canadian government have legislated commitments to reduce greenhouse gases of which oil sands mining is a huge emitter means there is great reluctance to expand capacity. I know economics and managements are your weak points but sorry political rhetoric does not drive investment decisions. I am glad though that you have finally admitted that there is not currently the production capacity in Canada to require the Keystone XL pipeline.

I'm glad you also recognise the rigs that are currently laying idle after the great Trump inspired oil price meltdown of 2020. Amazing isn't it that they are not drilling. Why are they not drilling? Well according to the industry, investors are wanting dividends and share buybacks and do not want companied overcommitting to expanding production which had previously led to the 600 bankruptcies and hundreds of billions of losses during Trumps presidency. There is also a shortage of workers. After the big bankruptcy surge under Trump many people in the industry went and found other jobs. The cost of incentivizing a return of people to man the rigs makes drilling more expensive and the oil companies looking to increase dividends and buy backs don't want to pay for it. So basically the oil industry is happy with the current pricing and production and have little to no incentive to do anything about it. As we also know that current production is sitting around 1 mbpd less than under Trump and several pipelines have since been completed it is clear that there is more than sufficient pipeline capacity to handle a significantly greater output. Now a talented stock market investor would know this as it is common knowledge from guidance provided by oil companies on their earnings and production guidance.

So as the oil industry has shown itself incapable of acting in the public interest, Biden has now invoked the Defence Act to encourage the supply of materials for EVs which will accelerate the production of EVs and reduce the impact of oil price disruptions to the economy. Well done Biden on this insightful move to improve the environment while marginalising the oil industry to hold the economy to ransom.

I sure hope the genius Dems pull all the stops to override the rarely disrupted decades long pattern of significant congressional losses for the WH Party in its first midterms along with the pattern of Dems losing significant numbers in Congress right after they pass historically positive legislation destined to be revered by Americans forever going all the way back to FDR and cheat like they never cheated before to win every contest and continue producing the unprecedented positive results for America we've been enjoying under Biden and the Dems a few more years.

It is as inevitable as night following day that Repubs will again take control of the levers someday and again plunge us into economic disaster. That's what Repubs do. That is all they do. But I do hope and pray the Dems can and will cheat more brilliantly and successfully than ever to keep America's historic positive gains in all important metrics going a while longer.

Amen.

Bubba let the CCP join the WTO.

The beginning of the end of the world as we knew it.

Just think no CCP in the WTO and the Chinese virus would have just been a local event, maybe more akin to SARS?

They entirely blew up the global economy and destroyed how many lives?

Not to mention what they did to this hobby you love so dearly.

Will it ever fully recover before you die? Doubtful.

Thanks Xi and Bubba.

Clinton should go down as the worst POTUS ever, I think much worse than even Biden or Barry Hussein (or Bush 43 the turd).

I see you are still dreaming in Fantasyland. Unfortunately people living in USA have the Biden nightmare. 71% of the people think Biden is doing a bad job on the economy. Even democrats think Biden job on the economy is not good. People have 2 jobs and still can't afford gas and food. But there you are in dreamland fabricating fairytales.

It amazes me how some people can totally delude themselves to such a degree. People like our BKK Bob, for example, or Robert Alan Chapek, the moron CEO running Disney into the ground. There is no point in arguing with these fanatics. They can not accept reality when it runs counter to their views. They are irrational. But who cares?

The 2022 mid term election is coming and the Woke Marxist Democratic party is going to take a beating and deservedly so. Rational Democrats know this and hopefully they will be able to understand what went wrong. It will be up to them to try to pick up the pieces of their shattered party after the left wing radicals go down in defeat. But the 2022 election will only put the breaks on the radical's insane agenda. Americans will have to soundly defeat the Democrat Party in the 2024 Presidential election before we can begin to repair the damage that the Biden Administration has done to the country. Until then things are only going to get worse.

Yes you are correct. USA and Canada are the leaders on technology in oil and gas industry. Our market analysts state that less than 40% of drilling rigs are operating now. With USA production down over 1 million barrels a day and the void of the 830,000 barrels a day from Canada we are forced to go to OPEC, Saudi, Iran and Venezuela to buy oil. These countries are not stupid like Biden cultists. They know USA will buy the oil at any price. That is why companies like Chevron and Exxon are putting their exploration money into other countries. Investing billions in other countries. Employing workers in other countries. Paying taxes in other countries. The oil companies are making billions and Biden can take credit for it. On tv Biden talks tough and blames the oil companies for overcharging but he is totally to blame.

Interesting pattern. A mysterious, inexplicable "business cycle"? Bad Repub luck with jobs? A witch's curse on Repubs?

Nope, nope and nopadope.

It's just plain ol' crappy Repub economic stewardship and legislation vs far, far superior Dem economic stewardship and legislation proven over and over again.

Or, as typically pro Repub Mainstream Media whose financial fortunes rely on helping their beloved Repubs get elected so they will inevitably produce those much desired scary "Disaster"! "Crash"! "Unprecedented Losses"! Headlines for them would put it, "Further evidence that Republicans seem to handle the economy better than Democrats. Now, quick! Get out there and vote"!

LOL.

"U.S. hot streak on jobs continues as unemployment rate falls".
For the first time on record, the U.S. economy has now had 11 straight monthly jobs gains above 400,000.
Note, the U.S. economy has now had 11 straight monthly jobs gains above 400,000. According to a Wall Street Journal report, thats never happened since the government started maintaining national jobs records in 1939. ..

[Canada]

Strange you accuse me of being a liar for not having commented at all on your meaningless oil reserve comments. You obviously have a reading and comprehension problem. Canada does not have the mining or processing capacity to increase production. Even if they did they would still have no trouble exporting it. See having huge reserves of anything is irrelevant if you cannot extract it at a rate that meets the market demand. There is more than enough rail capacity to clear all the Canadian so once again you have proven to be wrong.

I sure hope the genius Dems pull all the stops to override the rarely disrupted decades long pattern of significant congressional losses for the WH Party in its first midterms along with the pattern of Dems losing significant numbers in Congress right after they pass historically positive legislation destined to be revered by Americans forever going all the way back to FDR and cheat like they never cheated before to win every contest and continue producing the unprecedented positive results for America we've been enjoying under Biden and the Dems a few more years.

It is as inevitable as night following day that Repubs will again take control of the levers someday and again plunge us into economic disaster. That's what Repubs do. That is all they do. But I do hope and pray the Dems can and will cheat more brilliantly and successfully than ever to keep America's historic positive gains in all important metrics going a while longer.

Amen.

Of course there's no voter / election fraud. It's all about chutzpah, putting people you don't like on the defensive. It's like creating the office of "anti-semite'ism czar" to fight those quotas as Harvard. Hey Lipstashitz, what'cha doing'?

Like Biden claiming right wingers in the military are a problem to be purged? Seriously.

So first off, we have these intelligence "experts" and the tech companies ganging up and saying Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation and censoring it. When the Republicans control Congress in 2022, these groups are going to get hammered. Because just like in 2016 with Comey, we have this fucking disgusting group of swamp creatures trying to influence an election.

And the Democrats think Putin has more influence than this group or Comey. They are so brain dead.

There was no widespread voter fraud in 2016.

No need for Trump to get rid of nonexistent fraud.

There was no widespread voter fraud in 2020. They lokked and looked and even looked some more, but could not find, or even alledge, any widespread fraud of any kind..

[MarquisdeSade1]

Like your Lord and Savior??? Putin?

Wow, and I thought I heard everything.

The Russian Constitution used to allow their presidents two consecutive 4-year terms. Putin has ruled Russia for 23 years.

The way he dealt with this little predicament in 2008 was simple. He installed his puppet Medvedev as a president in 2008 while having made himself the prime minister. Then they traded back in 2012.

In 2018, he got his Duma (the Parliament) and Supreme Court do away with the Constitution limits altogether. He has full power now, more consolidated than what Russian czars had in the 19-century.

Putin has assassinated, attempted to assassinate and imprisoned scores of journalists and opposition leaders. He has started three wars and completely wiped out all forms of political discourse and free speech in Russia. Under his rule, Russia has become the world's gas station. It's lost all its technological prowess it acquired in 1940-1980. Russia has to import practically everything except for fuel and grains.

Despite the most favorable gas prices in history during most of his rule, Russia is still an impoverished country outside of a handful of its most prosperous cities, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg and a few others. It's also one of the most outrageously corrupt countries in the world.

But hey, as long as you've found your Jesus, go for it. Like Russians say, love is a cutthroat - fall with a goat.

Didn't Barry Hussein install Joe as nominee and the oligarchs handled the rest in 2020.

Wow that Barry dood is a fucking genius I must say.

So yeah, we know that there were 4. 8 million votes illegally harvested, but we do not know who got those votes: Trump or Clinton. And before you could claim fraud in an election, you would need to know this.

Meant Trump or Biden.

Wow. Talk about "fake news". The Epoch Times certainly takes the cake. It is even more off-the-rails than OAN and FUX "News". If this is the link of BS that Republicans hold up to the world as "truthful journalism", then it is now wonder that they keep going down the rabbit hole.

But the key point in this line of horse manure is the following quote from Mr. Conspiracy himself: "We Republicans cannot prove it but we know, and the people on 1-6 knew as well. "

Just like you know that Chinese thermostats changed votes in 2020? Just link you know that Jewish space lasers cause forest fires? Just like you believe that ANTIFA stormed the Capitol on January 6th? Just like you believe that January 6th was '"legitimate political discourse"? Just like you believe that vaccines contain microchips? Just like you believe that ivermectin cures COVID?

Smh.
