American Politics

[QUOTE=Canada;2674032]If Trump was dumb and achieved the greatness that he did in the first couple years before Chinese virus hit where does it leave Biden. He is at least twice as dumb as Trump. He needs to be removed from office immediately. If we are going for honesty in politics the socialists should look at the corrupt Biden family. Hunter and his uncle taking millions from China and Ukraine definitely need investigating. Biden family is probably second most corrupt family in politics in USA next to the Clintons who will never be matched.[/QUOTE]What does the title of your post mean "If Trump was dumb"? Trump was dumb. Most of his advisors said it. But I already know that you're going to call it "fake news" because that's what you always do when confronted with facts. Either that or disparage the people who said what they said. Or some equally inane, ignorant rant. [URL]https://qz.com/1267508/all-the-people-close-to-donald-trump-who-called-him-an-idiot/[/URL].

The Orange Buffoon completely screwed up the response to COVID. Under the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy, the USA ranked about 12th in the world in per-capita COVID deaths. Under Biden we're down to 18th. Not great by any means but better than under the Mango Mussolini. At least Biden didn't say to inject bleach.

[QUOTE=GDreams;2674165]Electric cars making up 10% of the cars on the road would equate to the entire Russian oil supply. In China they are up to 5%. They have less oil and they are smart enough to know that electric vehicles make them much less strategically sensitive to oil politics.

Increasing oil supply is not the optimum answer as in my lifetime I have been through 4 major cycles in oil supply / price.

Oil companies are not asking Biden anything, they have made corporate decisions not to overcommit to increased drilling. You guys repeat Biden being anti oil incessantly but you just can't present any actual facts on the matter. Biden's approval of permits is 35% higher than Trumps. There is 2 million barrels of spare pipeline capacity so it is not a limiting factor. The factors are banks and financiers lost their shirts when the oil price crashed 2 years ago and their is much more caution for lending to drill. Many investors lost their shirts with bankruptcies during the big oil crash and those that remain have been recapitalizing rather than rushing out to speculate by increasing drilling. There is a general labour shortage that none of you recognize because the labour market hasn't grown due to no immigration and a lot of early retirements. I guess Ukrainian refugees can help with the labour market as they are white and no one has a problem with that..[/QUOTE]Biden in his first day of office cancelled Keystone pipeline and stopped drilling on federal lands which resulted in 1.2 million barrels of oil per day in 2021 from 2020.

There were 4.9 million new energy vehicles at the end of 2021, accounting for 1.75% of all vehicles in Chinese roads, of which, 4 million are all-electric vehicles (81.3% China accounts for 60% of the world's electric vehicle charging stations.

My golf cart needs charged every day so I assume if you drive your car every day that you will need to charge it every day.

Wind and solar are not dependable sources of power yet and won't be for decades. The problem is now. It is difficult to tell the low income that we aren't going to drill more and we are going to have $5 gas for next 25 years while we develop electric cars. Are you suggesting we let these people suffer and get driven into poverty for the good of electric vehicles?

EV may be the future but we don't live in the future. The reality is Biden is pushing more people into poverty than any other president in the past. We need to fill our gas tanks today to get to work not in the future.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2674141]Tesla is the most successful manufacturer of electric vehicles in the world.

I don't know if their market share is 75% or 25% of worldwide electric cars.

But I do know that in 2021 they built 936,222 electric cars, an 87% increase from the prior year.

I don't believe Tesla will ever make cars that are affordable worldwide, that will be accomplished by many of the thousands of currently existing manufacturers using current advancements in technology. Sub $2,000 electric vehicles will be a reality soon enough.

Tesla made 936,222 electric cars in 2021. Say the whole industry made around 2 million cars in 2021? Plausible?

With adequate demand for the industry's product, 87% future growth seems possible (especially with non-tesla cheapies).

Why would we need 30 years to get to 50% electric vehicles?

Might not understand numbers as well as he thinks he does.

At 87% growth it would not take 30 years.[/QUOTE]Tesla recalled almost 50% of their cars manufactured in 2021 for safety reasons. Tesla is the worst performing car in the world. To get mileage they make cars lighter and less safe than normal cars. EV do not have the same safety requirements as gas cars. I prefer to drive a car that is safe.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2673701]Stop plagiarizing are. Maddow verbatim and take the pills the nice doctor gave us for you to take.

I'm asking friends in Moscow how things are and they say everything is normal, except no more McDs LOL.

When I visited Moscow McDs is extremely popular espec with young people and probably more expensive than anywhere I've seen in the world LOL.

When I asked guys dressed like they had pretty decent jobs in the strip clubs, (Moscow has a handful of what I would.

Call somewhat "high end") about the sanctions they would laugh with sincerity, sanctions don't deter Putin or he wouldn't be wiping NATOs impotent pawn off the map in the Ukraine.[/QUOTE][B]Putin's Ukraine invasion will knock the Russian economy back 30 years: experts[/B]

[QUOTE] Vladimir Putins war on Ukraine and the global response to it will drastically alter Russias economic future, setting the country back 30 years, experts say.

As the countrys economy collapses, the exodus of global brands will give rise to a profound shift in how middle-class citizens will make and spend their money.

Experts say the coming period of Russian economic isolation could last at least five years, but more likely will be measured in decades.[/QUOTE]The right question: Why was Putin forced to do something incredibly stupid and devastating to his country's economy and standing in the world in order to further his mission to destroy democratic alliances and enslave all of humanity in authoritarian dictatorships while America's economy and standing in the world soared and democratic alliances strengthened under Biden but never needed to do that while the American economy crashed, millions of USA jobs were wiped out, its standing in the world plummeted and democratic alliances were weakened under Trump?

Don't hold your breath waiting for Bill Maher and other typically pro Repub electioneering Mainstream Media pundits to consider that might be the real question "worth asking".

Putin claimed he was "striving for denazification" of a country with a Jewish president and now he is flirting with invading Poland.

He is obviously working from the same "very stable genius" cognitive impairment as his butt buddy Trump.

H are McMaster National security advisor a dope Private dinner.[/QUOTE]You just proved my point exactly. If you say Trump was dumb then Biden should not be let out on public. Biden actions shows he is 10 times dumber than Trump so I guess you agree Biden should be relieved of the presidency.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2674228]Once again you have ignored proving your contention that the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy created any "new jobs". Why? Because you can't.

If you don't understand the statistics that you post you should stop posting. You are the one that proved me right. Take credit for it.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2674117]I am certain that TrumpShit will run again in 2024 because he has never before been able to bring in more sucker money in any one of his prior schemes.

If he runs against Joe Biden or Kamela Harris, it won't matter.

Because TrumpShit's record in office was juvenile and amateurish, and easily shown to be exactly that.

TrumpShit just keeps getting weaker and weaker, but since GOP IQ is so low, Shit is sure to be the next nominee.

TrumpShit will drag the GOP down and practically out in 2024, he is already fucking up the midterms for the GOP.[/QUOTE]Anyone who runs against Biden Harris will look amazing. It won't matter if they are democrats or republicans. Biden Harris have set the bar so low. Biden Harris make Trump look like a genius. 68% of Americans say they were better off in Trump presidency than Biden's and every day Biden's is getting worse. World leaders refuse to talks Biden's phone calls. When has that ever happened in USA history? Biden is an embarrassment to Americans and the world. Let's go Brandon.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2674109]Spoken like an oil company penis relations representative.

They now can (in a single day) install / equip a house with a wall of batteries that can keep it powered for three days. And the technology is only getting better.

If the utility goes down, soon your electric vehicle may soon be an alternate way of delivering electric power.

New batteries supplement and add to existing capacity.

Solar and wind enjoy that same principal that new supply supplements and adds to existing capacity.

The future, for those who want to see it, has less shortages.[/QUOTE]Yes you can put solar panels up and get 3 batteries that will give you 3 days of power for about $80,000. I don't see every household being able to afford that. I don't think there is enough lithium available in the world to be able to do that. But what about a factory running 300 lathes? How many batteries does that take? The USA or any country in the world cannot go this or sustain this. Maybe in 30 to 50 years we can achieve half of that but a lot of states can't handle a 10% increase in usage. You are living in fantasyland.

[QUOTE=Canada;2674326]China and India have different safety regulations for new cars than USA. Most of those would not meet minimum USA standards.[/QUOTE]70 years ago you could say the same thing about gas powered German and Japanese cars.

Canada, I have a news flash for you.

All humans in the world are not as stupid collectively as the 29 million Americans that call themselves republicans.

Thinking humans adapt.

And don't always join in group fantasies that the sky is falling.

Just because you and the rest of the brain-dead wingers believe the trump numbers and don't believe the Biden numbers doesn't make the trump set of numbers true and the other set of numbers false.

Speaking of Fox News, they are all on board with censorship. I've invested considerable time there in the comments section effectively countering fallacious arguments, all without any rule violations and the posts are quickly deleted. This while they whine about "big tech" censorship.
