He's turned out much more progressive than what the left thought which leads people to believe that he's not really in control since it doesn't really match up to anything that he did prior to becoming President. The end result is that he's a much worse President than what independent voters thought they were voting for.
Yes, it's mocking/super sarcastic. N Dakota is right in that interpretation. He's saying the size and makeup of the force (Putin is calling a "peacekeeping force") makes that statement incomprehensible.
Why would they start caring about a sane energy policy now? They call Saudis for oil, not Houston. The admin is wildly out of touch and going to continue the political push against oil and gas and to boo$t renewables. War doesn't change the fact that they are funded by the green energy types and care more about getting to a green new deal than they do your price at the pump.
I guess the elections will tell us if Dems value cheap gas or the environment the most.
Nothing “flattens the curve” like mid-term elections
Odds gas will hit $5/gallon? Food most definitely will keep going up as well.
Need an over/under on how often he mentions Trump and things Biden "fixed" like unemployment that was already great prior to the blue governors shutting things down during the pandemic. I wonder if he'll mention the border and what a bang up job border czar Kamala has done on that front. I wonder if Biden takes credit for Ukraine and Russia coming to the peace table yesterday. Does he mention Afghanistan and some kind of win after the botched exit? You know he's going to take credit for ending COVID after CDC ended mandatory masks in many places Monday...funny timing on that.
I've always been baffled by the Dems' oil policy of shutting down domestic oil production to save the environment, but importing oil from elsewhere to make up the difference. Is Saudi, Canadian, or Russian oil less harmful? It's like passing strict child labor laws, but happily buying all your stuff from 3rd world factories that employ kids. You know you didn't really accomplish anything here other than just changing locations, right? It's feel good BS with better visuals instead of actually effective policy.
Probably better answered by someone who is heavily into the green initiatives, but my impression has always been that those most emotionally invested in climate change are happy (maybe secretly) when the price of oil increases because that means lower consumption and more investment in green technologies.
It gets less baffling if you look at where the donors are making money.
