Basically Biden* is threatening to use executive powers on oil companies to drop prices.

I do wonder has he thought about the country having a tax holiday or hell even reversing some of his ill advised policies?

Of course, not, gdunn. Don't you get it? He was put in pla--elected because he has the most experience of anybody who's ever lived on this planet to be the president. His policies are the best we've ever seen from a sitting president. The oil companies are CLEARLY to blame on this!

But seriously, you know he'd never reverse course. He's too entrenched in his beliefs to do so. Not only that, but the people pulling the strings wouldn't allow it either.

Yes, I did forget about Putin. My bad.

Good to see you, too, man. (But I've been posting more in the Spin Room again. Just getting my news from y'all since the traditional media outlets are going off the deep end.)

Biden is a moron. Biden hasnt even taken the easiest and most obvious step forward in easing the current energy crisis. The first step is to stop being part of the problem and get on board with being part of the solution. Biden need only to rescind his misguided Day One "Green Energy" executive order and watch American industry take care of the rest.

Yep. I haven’t seen such a mess since Carter.

Sounds like a windup to nationalize the oil industry.

lol---that would literally end the Democrat Party. Of course, its going to be darn near dead anyway after the November mid-terms results. After Carter, it was 12 years before another Democrat sat behind the desk in the oval office. Biden is several magnitudes worse than Carter. While I thought Carter was a terrible president---a lot of what happened to Carter was beyond his control. America was reliant on cheap Middle East oil and OPEC's oil production controls/embargos were largely out of his hands. In stark contrast---Biden was handed an America that was essentially energy independent and he immediately ended that by executive fiat. This is literally ALL on President Houseplant---so this is even worse than Carter. If Progressives continue leading the DNC on its present course, it might be decades before Democrats return to the White House.

That is hyperbole - we all know how this goes. Party x gets control, if they are decent they get a second term, and possibly the next guy rides the coat tails for a 3rd term. Then people get complacent and think its time for the other team to get a shot again.

The only unanswered question is if we get 8 years or 12. Based on history and Biden's un-effin-believably bad performance, I will take the 12 years and be happy.


It may take decades to fix the last 2 years (let alone the next 2) but that's a different story.

I agree---but it was 12 years last time--and the situation this time is worse. I could see 16 years happening this time. I mean---this is a party that brought you high crime, high inflation, and high fuel prices----and unlike Carter----the Democrats did TWO of those three things ON PURPOSE.

AS much as I think that's how it should work out, it won't.

Dems are good at tugging at the heart strings and taking the low road where the GOP thinks everything should be a fair fight. Until the GOPers figure out how to fight back, maybe. I doubt it though.

He's a moron but the people in control of him aren't. They're doing exactly what they've been signalling that they would do.

Yep. And certain people have been warning us about it for a long time as well. We either just didn't listen in time, or in the case of some, like myself, we weren't being heard when we tried to sound the warning. Case in point: This point in time should look different than it does now.

Such an old fool.

“C’mon, yes the Democrats control both houses of Congress and the White House. Yes Biden* closed the pipeline. But it’s the Republicans, Putin, and the greedy oil execs that are gouging people. Joe Biden is not gonna put up with it any longer.”

^^^^^

What a dumb*** you have to be to believe this!

Unfortunately, there's a pretty good-sized portion of our voting-eligible population that believes this to be true. And quite a lot of them are so entrenched in that belief, they'll deny anything else even if it's staring them in the face.

I don't know.... I've spoken to some NY progressives recently and these guys are totally off the rails. They quite literally believe that all Republican leaders are fascists/racists/anti-democracy etc etc etc ... and that all Republican voters opinions should be 'ignored'. That there shouldn't be anyone politically to the right of the Democratic party. They believe that they are the ones seeking a 'revolution' of sorts... some of them actually supporting gun rights because they think they'll need them against the fascist right... and that were we to divide the nation in to 'us' and 'them', that they would have to 'take over' the 'conservative' nation as it would be a threat to global democracy and security.

I'm not making this up and these aren't fringe wackos... I'm talking about people who were/are 'Justice Democrats and Bernie Bros'.

As Bongino says..

Republicans think Democrats are people with bad ideas...

Democrats think all Republicans are bad people with ideas...

I think democrats are bad people with bad ideas.
I think republicans are people with no ideas.
