What is predictable is you blaming Trump for this debacle by Biden.

When will George W. Bush and everyone who voted for him apologize for that predictably failed war?

[EihTooms]

You truly have no credibility as you can only rehearse the same mantras over and over. That isn't debate, it's called filibuster, and you'd be stoked for it constantly, anywhere but in a monger forum. That's why you are here. We know Trump is an idiot, but you day after day shriek about Republicans causing all the "crashes" while ignoring Wilson and Truman's recessions. You mock Ike calling the 50's "atrocious," while ignoring all the gains for common people, especially those unionized and in blue collar fields. It was an age of the guy off to work with his lunch box, two roast beef sandwiches and a piece of pie, home ownership, and situations where the wife could afford to stay home. You praise Jimmy Carter even though he left behind a recession and was booted out of office after one term in an embarrassing landslide defeat. And much of a case can be made for the Reagan years, especially seeing that he for much of the time had to deal with a Democratic Congress, which meant compromise.

Like it or not Biden has egg on his face with Afghanistan, as well his hesitancy with voting rights reform as the modern era Jim Crow nonsense digs in it's heels. That all reality for someone who wishes a balanced perspective.

P.S. Stop harassing me in my PM box. I told you that I'm on vacation, but of course your self-centeredness and insistence on being right all the time takes precedence.

LOL. More easily debunked total nonsense from you on every point, especially the part about me harassing you in PMs.

Folks, beware, that loon started sending me PMs he was too much of a coward to post here and then began sending me THREE PMs at a time with the same message until I told him it would require a lot less work on his part if he just posted on the main board. Thankfully, he has not PMd me once in the past 3-4 days after I pointed that out. Good thing. I was on the verge of reporting him to the site Administrator. Lolol

Now I know even YOU know the stuff you post is total nonsense. You gave it away with that bit about me harassing you in PMs.

Good post, but you got one thing wrong. I'm not on here to persuade the democrat douches on this board. Their brainwashing is so deep they would probably have a brain aneurysm if they actually thought about anything. My posts are for people reading who probably never post, who just check in every now and then. It's good to let them know that the wacko leftist lunacy they see in so much of the fake media is just as wrong-headed and idiotic as they sense it is.

About Biden, we should all pray for the senile old vegetable to stay in (nominal) power for at least the next couple of years, because if Harris gets in things will become very bad for conservative heritage Americans. She is a classic product of the woke communist grievance industry, and her hatred of America and white men runs to her core. When in California, she ordered a police raid on the home of a (white male, of course) journalist whose reporting displeased her. Of course the fake news never publicized it. If she becomes president she will attempt mass gun confiscation by force; imposition of vaccine passports in grocery stores (ie you will starve to death if you don't comply); federalization of all police in the country (ie they all work directly for her). It will be a very dark time for us, in more ways than one.

The best thing would be for Biden to cling on until near the end of his illegitimate regime; maybe give out with a few months to go, so everyone can see just how terrible Harris is before the 2024 election.

"because if Harris gets in things will become very bad for conservative heritage Americans. " This is the type of dog-whistle phrasing that racists use.

When cars are predominately electric there will be minimal oil imported, no reason to have a presence in the middle east, Russia will be broke and the air will be a lot cleaner to breathe and the people to thank will be Democrats.

Right, because the vast amounts of electricity required to power those cars, and to make the batteries (which need to be replaced regularly) will be produced by. Rainbows and fluffy kittens.

Haha! These leftist wackos actually PMing people who call out their BS! Careful bud, one of them will probably hire an investigator and show up at your house soon.

In 2020 the USA imported the least amount of oil since 1991 as per government records below. USA was a net exporter. USA refineries all use different grades of crude oil to make different products. Some grades of crude USA has to much of. Some grades of crude like heavy oil USA needs to import it. Mostly from Canada but Biden screwed that up so now we are getting it from Russia. USA imports crude and refines it and exports the finished product. USA was no longer dependent on foreign oil as of December 31, 2020. 8 months later Biden is begging Russia and OPEC to produce more oil. When USA gets dependent on foreign oil prices go up. The more oil USA produces the prices go down. Hence we have high gas prices in 2021 that we didn't have in 2019 and 2020. Not rocket science but most of you won't understand this. It is the same with any commodity. Supply and demand. Biden energy policy: USA loses. Russia and OPEC benefit. Trump energy policy USA benefits. Russia and OPEC lose. Big difference.

Excellent forensic post. It won't have any effect on the impenetrable brainwashing of the individual you're replying to, but rest assured that many saner and smarter people will read it and take note.

Chris, I admire you for sticking in here and arguing but in the end it is futile. A Dem sent me an article today from Thomas Friedman about how Biden could still be proven right in Afghanistan.

I would put GW Bush and Carter as the two worst presidents in my life time. Thing is both started out with good approval ratings because they were quiet and not in the news at first. Biden's best quality was that he was not the headline grabber Trump was.

Well, now we see what happens when we put someone with dementia in the White House. That there are going to be the Democratic douches putting lipstick on this pig is inevitable but it is not going to stick. In addition to the Afghan disaster, there was this bit in the news: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bi...wont-pump-more.

Biden's response was predictable. He blamed everyone but himself but the world is laughing at him in a way they never did with Trump. Say you what you will about Trump, he was crude, egotistical, but I do not recall anyone showing him this much disrespect. No one takes Biden seriously. Biden was talking about how Afghanistan was not going to fall on TV, and I had to tell my GF to change the channel because I could not handle such BS. Biden may have to bomb an aspirin factory like Clinton did to get this debacle off the front page..

What is predictable is you blaming Trump for this debacle by Biden.

Sooooo, what you are saying is that trump didn't negotiate an American withdrawal from Afghanistan? That trump wanted the pullout to be after Biden's date? That the QOP went along with trump without complaint? That trump expected the Taliban to play by the rules? That trump didn't handcuff the Afghan government by leaving them out of the negotiations?

Is that what you're saying? Because if it is, it is a lie.

There is plenty of blame to go around on this fiasco that is attributable to both trump and Biden.

We are still waiting for T. Rex Tillerson to write his tell all book, but we know how he felt about his ex boss, an ex president: "fucking moron", sour, crude, and definitely not sweet. Fat Nixon's first trip abroad was to OPEC, otherwise known as Saudi Arabia to give MBS a handjob and fondle his Orb. El Vez has secured interviews with all the relevant players to issue his manifesto. True Dough, Vlad, Maduro & Alberto Fernández: "They will never apologize to me because I knelt before the IMF and indebted Argentina and generations of Argentines" MBS even gave a tour of the torture chamber and bone saw museum.

Some grades of crude USA has to much of. Some grades of crude like heavy oil USA needs to import it. Mostly from Canada but Biden screwed that up so now we are getting it from Russia.

No, that is not right, but you are getting there. It used to be that everyone wanted sweet crude because gasoline was the big seller. Then diesel cars took off in Europe and you get better yields of diesel with sour crude.

America got sour crude from Venezuela not Canada. The shale oil in the USA and Canada is mostly sweet. Venezuelan production has plummeted which is mostly Venezuela's fault. When you look for sour crude, the country that had it in excess was Russia hence the buying from them. That explains why we are importing from Russia, and it explains the increase in price of diesel fuel.

Gasoline is a different story. The USA has plenty of capacity there and is producing much less now than preCovid. The reason we have not gotten up to precovid levels is American oil companies are pissed at Biden and not in any hurry to have their hands slapped again. You have him cancelling the Keystone pipeline after they put God knows how much money into that. By the way, that is just a pay off to Warren Buffett a big time Democrat contributor who moves Canadian oil by train. A pipeline is cheaper and safer.

Then you have this BS climate change stuff where the oil companies are responsible for destroying the planet. Biden could have asked the American oil companies to increase production but he knew he would be given the middle finger.

So he went to OPEC which is really Saudi Arabia. The Saudis know the USA has capacity to increase production easily. In the past, the world was at full capacity. It is not now. Saudi Arabia knows that shale is a game changer and they have lost control of pricing. They know the rise in price is temporary as shale production will soon rise to match the increase in demand. So they told Biden to pound sand and will enjoy this temporary surge in prices.

Things will smooth out soon, but the reason to me is disgusting. American oil independence was a great story but with the Dems mucking it up, the oil companies will go elsewhere. There is a huge field in Argentina, the vaca muerta, that is as big as the one in West Texas. Instead of investing in Texas, the oil companies will go where they are wanted which is a place like Argentina. Say good bye to all those good oil jobs.

When Biden came in and declared war on the oil companies, you could see them change their behavior. Again, this was just politics as oil companies typically support Republicans. Now that he needs these same companies, they are not going to help him. Like with Afghanistan, Biden is just very, very short sighted. Cancelling that oil pipeline was a huge fuckup and sent word to the oil companies not to invest in America.

Trump officially lost Bush's predictably failed war in Afghanistan, surrendering it to the Taliban, last year when he reduced our troop level to 2500

What is predictable is you blaming Trump for this debacle by Biden.

[GDreams]

Is there a reason for importing Russian oil rather than producing our own oil?

Is there a reason for boosting Russian Energy companies while hurting domestic oil companies?

Is there a reason for creating millions of jobs in Russia and losing millions of jobs in USA?

Is there a reason for paying more for Russian oil than USA oil?

Is there a reason for making Russian economy great and killing USA economy?

Is there a reason for gas prices of $5.00 gallon?

Only Biden and his loyal democrats can see good in this.

I am sure that there probably is a socialist on here that can agree with Biden on this.

When cars are predominately electric there will be minimal oil imported, no reason to have a presence in the middle east, Russia will be broke and the air will be a lot cleaner to breathe and the people to thank will be Democrats.

When Trump or a Trump Wannabe Repub wins California because Californians are so horrified by what Biden and the Dems have done and long for the wonderful Trump Crash, Great Trump Repub Recession and Massive Job Destruction in the millions and millions of yore, get back to me.

That isn't debate, it's called filibuster, and you'd be stoked for it constantly, anywhere but in a monger forum. That's why you are here.

Washington, D. C. Many are expressing concerns over how far the Taliban has managed to advance after Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave her latest press conference while wearing an Islamic Hijab.

"No, there is nothing to worry about, Alhamdulillah, Allah be praised," said Psaki. "The Taliban poses no danger to the USA And they definitely have not advanced as far as Washington, the. See. Everything is fine here. ".

When asked about her new modest religious veil, she responded, "What do you mean? I always wear these! It's sunny out and it keeps the sun off my head. Nothing to worry about!" She then circled back to face Mecca and bowed her head to the ground. She then also stated: "Rumors of the fall of Afghanistan to the Islamist Taliban are greatly exaggerated!

The White House also confirmed that the crowd of military-aged males with AK47's playing soccer on the White House lawn was just a fun little bit of performance art and nothing to be concerned over.

In other news, the. See. Has confirmed that call to prayer will be at 3 pm this afternoon and that everyone needs to be on time. . .

"She then circled back to face Mecca and bowed her head to the ground" - LOL.

When Biden was asked his thoughts on the Muslim takeover, he was heard to reply: "Muslin? Softest sheets I ever owned. Oh yeah. I, er. You know, the thing! What was the question? Where am I? Come on man! Record player. Cornpop. " before wandering into a Bush in the Rose Garden.

Getting back to you quickly because there was no Trump crash, no Trump recession and no jobs lost by Trump policies. There was a pandemic. Trump policies today are keeping the economy going. Biden is doing his best to kill it.

California is suffering from Biden policies. Our restaurants and businesses were closed while other states were opened. Millions of people were put out of work and lives were destroyed. Businesses are closed. Democrats policy of defund the police and looting and stealing under $1000 not being a crime have destroyed business and made it unsafe to shop in many cities. Homeless control many areas in our state making our streets unsafe. Lower income families can no longer afford to buy gas. The destruction is here but you refuse to acknowledge it. You keep trashing Trump for made up fantasy when Biden is destroying America.

I am a democrat and I can see it. Biden has destroyed the lives of all innocent people in Afghanistan in just 6 months. Our borders are not secure and thousands are entering daily. How many of them are terrorists? The world sees a weak leader of USA and the world is taking advantage. We will see another 9-11 under Biden and you are to blame.

Another excellent post. Remember all of the above when the midterms come up next year, and more importantly in 2024 when we have the opportunity to take back America from these incompetent, willfully destructive lunatics.
