American Politics

[Chris P]

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.

Long term deals. Different kinds of oil. Also, that figure doesn't differentiate between crude and products. We mostly export products, which are higher value -- it's called trade. Do you know that we both export and import beef to Mexico? Why? It turns out that some cuts of beef sell better down there -- there's no George Soros conspiracy.

Good to see you back from Leningrad.

The point is that Biden's handlers have massively boosted Russia and crippled US energy production. The former by approving the Russian pipeline to Europe, which will give Russia vast earnings and power over countries like Germany (literally the ability to turn out their lights); and the latter by stopping the XL pipeline, destroying tens of thousands of high-paying American jobs and reducing American energy independence.

Great job, Sleepy Joe. Almost as good as you did in Kabul.

[Chris P]

Is there a reason for importing Russian oil? Yes, because it is better and my links proved that.

Are we energy independent as trump said? No, and my links proved that.

There are lots of links out there saying Bruce Jenner is a woman. You probably believe them too.

[John Clayton]

How much oil does the US export? About 35% of production. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6.

The bigger question is this: In 2019, the US imported 9.14 million BBLS / day and exported 8.47 million BBLS day.

Why?

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, BEGotiated (Trump could never NEGotiate anything complicated) with just the Taliban, not the govt, for a specific withdrawal date regardless of conditions on the ground and then happily announced his intention to suck some Taliban cock at his invitation to Camp David on the anniversary of Bush's 9-11!

After that, whether the Taliban took over quickly or slowly, brutally or nicely was entirely up to them.

But the fascists won't believe you even though there's ample proof.

Might I remind all the intellectual geopolitical geniuses here that Fat Nixon set an earlier date for withdrawal. In another time we chanted in the streets "Pull out Dick, like your father should have" Another jingoistic failed fantasy. The British, Russians, and others also got bloody noses from underestimating their adversaries. I'm not advocating for the Tally Band, a primitive tribe ascribing to religious claptrap and superstition. Please, no more black vs white verbal diarrhea about a very complex situation. Study the history before taping fingers to keyboards. "Charlie Wison's War" ?

Why?

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.

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.

The irony is that the Republicans in the know will never impeach Biden because they know that a demented Biden is actually better than a fully functioning Kamala Harris. Republicans I know are praying that Biden stays well. How screwed up is that?

100% of the focus of Dems in the primary was on beating Trump. They had no vision. They elected a horrible candidate whose only positive quality was they thought he could beat Trump.

That we are going to see a repeat of Carter IMO is inevitable. But then you have some douches here who actually think those were good times. Ha! They are going to be eating those words, but you know no matter how bad things get, those douches will never, never admit they are wrong.

Nobody could be worse than Trump right? Yeesh.

Again, I just want to leave this forum to them. I thought women were the ones who could delude themselves the most but these men make these women look completely rational. It is going to be fun laughing at their total BS.

Excellent post. You can usually tell what bad things leftists are doing because it is precisely what they accuse others of. For all the baseless lies about Trump / Russia, the fact is that it is Biden's handlers who have given Russia an enormous boost by approving the Russian pipeline to Europe and destroying the XL pipeline. Russia will now have vastly more energy exports, and vastly more power over Europe. Meanwhile America will need to import a huge amount, and Americans will suffer for it.

Ditto for the current shitshow in Afghanistan, with helicopters fleeing from the embassy just like in Saigon 1975. America is humiliated, and Russia and China are literally moving in as we speak to make deals with the Taliban.

Then again, the real pictures are attached.

I'm not sure who wins or who is really showing true IQ points for posting about politics on an international internet mongering forum.

However.

Whether Bush, Obama, Trump, or now Biden.

And none of the other international powerhouses of the day who were involved.

Could make Afghanistan a suitable mongering destination.

Peace and love Peace and LUVVV.

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.
