The differences between Trump's, Biden's visits to Israel
[B]The differences between Trump's, Biden's visits to Israel[/B] - Jerusalem Post, July 22,2022.

"Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia similarly had none of the substance, and generated none of the good will, that Trump created five years earlier. The parties could not even agree upon what they had discussed, nor the significance of what had been achieved. And Biden largely came up empty-handed in his effort to increase oil production, a pathetic request given America's ability to increase its own. ".
Such compliant little piggies
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2723374]North Korea stopped missile tests during the Trump administration, and resumed them when Biden was installed.
Russia took over Crimea under Obama, did nothing under Trump, then took half of Ukraine under Biden.
Trump had Afghanistan under control, no major attacks from the Taliban, and was preparing an organized drawdown of troops and the retention of Bagram airbase; Biden oversaw the worst humiliation since Vietnam, with Americans running away in the middle of the night without warning and leaving tens of billions in equipment for the Taliban as the fake Afghan govt collapsed like Biden on his stairs of his plane.
Trump got delinquent NATO members to start paying their agreed-upon dues instead of expecting America to foot the bill and go trillions more into debt as had been the case for years beforehand.
Trump had a hugely successful visit to Saudi Arabia early in his term, repairing some of the damage done by Obama, and ensuring cheap gas and high paying jobs for Americans; Biden has wrecked that, first saying he would make Saudi a pariah, then humiliatingly begging them to produce more oil, which they rejected. Now Saudi is moving toward China and away from its long relationship with the US.
So yes, we do love the way he governs.[/QUOTE]Not only did Trump praise Putin for invading Crimea ("Crimea is better off now") he rewarded him by refusing to enforce the sanctions imposed on Putin for it until the Dems in Congress forced him to grudgingly do so anyway. Since then Trump praised ("How smart is that? Brilliant! Putin for invading Ukraine!
Anyone wondering how delighted Putin, Kim, Xi and every other anti-American, anti-democratic wannabe authoritarian dictator wannabe would be to see Trump or any other Repub in the White House along with at least one house of Congress controlled by Repubs rather than any Dem in the future? So nice. They get elevated to top tier world stage status, praised and rewarded for thwarting democracy, murdering their political enemies and doing whatever is necessary to weaken and destroy Western Democratic Alliance. Oh, without so much as ruffling the feathers of Russian oligarchs or shedding Russan / North Korean / Chinese blood.
He didn't want to embarrass Xi regarding the coronavirus that Trump laid the groundwork for allowing to spread unabated in the first place and thereby threaten that idiotic, American Recession-producing trade war so he lied in perfect sync with Xi until it produced every major economic problem the world has faced ever since. What a diplomat! Such brilliant "governance" and "leadership".
And if they're really cute, they will most definitely get love letters dripping with accolades from the Repub so-called commander-in-chief as a bonus!
Why would Xi, Kim, Putin or any other enemy of America object to the loving care, praise and rewards Trump bestowed on them as long as Trump was doing more to destroy the US economy, mass murder American citizens and, the literal coup de grace on his way out, overthrow American democracy with his very own violent mob of America-haters. Obviously, doing our foreign enemies' work for them.
But the Worse-Then-Neville Chamberlain appeasement (add praise, glorification and rewards to it!) didn't just stop with America's foreign enemies under Trump. He did the same thing with America and American-democracy's domestic enemies!
To White Nationalist Nazis vs the patriots who opposed them: "There are nice people on both sides."
To the violent, cop-killing mob of Trump-led Anti-America Insurrectionists: "We love you."
Of course, YOU and your fellow America-hating Repubs love that kind of "governance."
I've heard it said hogs love the way Farmer John looks away and hums sweet lullabies while he gently taps their butt with a stick to lead them to their own slaughter.
Agent Orange is fair game

Dude, what are you talking about?
I have never called YOU (or anyone else on ISG for that matter) derogatory/vulgar names. Can you say the same? If am not mistaken, you love to throw around the word "douche-bag/douches". I'm pretty sure you must hold the record for the usage of this word on ISG.
So even though we are diametrically politically opposite and disagree on many things politically, I personally still hold a modicum of respect for you, enough not to call you, derogatory or vulgar names, like "douches".
Now Agent Orange, on the other hand is a totally different animal. You should know, [b]public figures are fair game[/b].
Besides that, I'm only repeating what he his been called in the press and media, or by ex-colleagues, ex-business partners, ex-lawyers, ex-administrators, sexual assault victims, ex-pornstars, ex-pussy grabbies and pundits have informed, reported, investigated and verified as the truth about dude's character, behavior, business reputation, integrity and conduct unbecoming.
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2723498]Spidy, are things better under Biden than they were under Trump? [/QUOTE] You've yet to answer my question. First things first!
The Soviet Era Show Trial
Another memo from Bill:
"Not many are paying attention, but the reporting on the January 6 committee is as dishonest as the Russian-Collusion fiasco and the blatantly unfair Judge Kavanaugh witch hunt.
The committee's star witness, White House assistant Cassidy Hutchinson, testified under oath that President Trump lost control of himself after the Capitol riot began. Stunning charge.
The problem is her testimony is 100 percent hearsay. Nothing backs it up. The committee could have illuminated Ms. Hutchinson's allegations by subpoenaing the Secret Service agents involved. The committee did not do that and did not explain why not.
But I can tell you why the Secret Service wasn't called. The agents would have contradicted Cassidy Hutchinson, that's why.
And the committee didn't need to do the right and fair thing because the press has already convicted Mr. Trump on everything. Why bother with facts?
This is called corruption. Every American, including those who despise Trump, should understand the dishonesty, and be appalled by it. "
Why can't you undertstand
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2723498]And the name calling continues.
You like $5 gasoline? You like the USA still being way short of oil production compared to what it was like under Trump? When Putin asked Biden if Ukraine was going to be in NATO, Biden did not answer him. Shortly after, the Russians invaded Ukraine. You like that?
And you voted for someone who is "maybe" mentally incompetent? Yeesh.
Spidy, are things better under Biden than they were under Trump?[/QUOTE]There are many factors that go into the price of gasoline. One is that the US has a lack of refining capacity, much of which was caused by refineries shutting down during COVID and not reopening. US refineries are set up for refining heavy Saudi crude, not the lighter American crude. Do you actually believe that US producers would produce more stuff that can't be refined here would impact the price of gasoline in the US?

In addition, please explain why oil production is higher TODAY than it was during the first 18 months of Donnie the Dumbass' reign of terror? [URL]https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M[/URL].
Once again, you are using "post hoc ergo propter hoc" (after this therefore because of this) analysis re: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia already knew that NATO was a defensive alliance and nothing more. He just asked the question in order tailor his invasion message because he had already decided to invade. Maybe you believe Putin who continually says that the reason for the invasion is to "de-Nazify" Ukraine. What do you suggest? That the US should have preemptively attacked Russia BEFORE they invaded?
And BTW, [B]you[/B] voted for someone who not only mentally incompetent but was also a racist and a fascist and a homophobe and a xenophobe and a known liar and a known con man. Yeesh is right.
What a vainglorious doofus you are
