If you’re implying he was talking about Biden, that’s even more strange.
No, just pointing out the hypocrisy of those on the left talking about Trump who ignored the obvious with Biden.
And you of course don’t recognize any difference between the two?

So pedophilia is ok as long as it’s your tribe? Isn’t that what you’re accusing others of?

There's more to financial literacy than lower energy prices.

People who are financially literate consider potential long-term impacts. Unfortunately, that perspective is sadly lacking in members of the trump regime.

People who are financially literate consider that drilling and mining affect virtually every product you use:
- it’s not just your vehicle, think of everything that has a gas and diesel engine.
-almost all products people buy are petroleum based, and/or contain petroleum based packaging, and/or contained mined minerals. Ex your smart phone has 40+ mined minerals.
-almost all are shipped (diesel fuel).
-The more we drill and frack over here, the less disruptions in places like the Strait of Hormuz affect us.
-Going to think you‘re environmentally conscious by buying an electric car and formerly gas powered now battery powered products? Well, your batteries are going to take a shit ton of lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt. The more of it mined in the US = less mined in 2nd-3rd world countries with little environmental rules and much of it controlled by China.

I love old timey/antiquey shit. But unless you want to go back to life in the late 1800s/early 1900s, its Drill Baby Drill, and Mine Baby Mine.

Thank you. We’ve never discussed this before. :lol:

Meanwhile, the Chinese are continuously innovating. I heard on a podcast today they they’re already seriously reducing the energy requirements for AI.

We used to be the leading innovators. We’ve fallen behind when it comes to things high speed electric rail or military drone manufacturing and strategy.

I forgot to even mention the TREMENDOUS energy requirements for AI. So the ChiComs are reducing that some. The energy requirements will still be tremendous.

In terms of drilling, extracting, mining, we need to be increasing that. Bigly.

We need to encourage R&D and development of alternative and more eco-friendly sources of energy.

Betting everything on fossil fuels is a moronic move.

Not increasing fossil fuels while encouraging R&D and alternative is moronic.

There is a more eco friendly source- non fossil fuel, zero carbon emission, nuclear. Until the left drops their adamant opposition to its they can STFU about renewables replacing fossil fuels.

We should be pursuing nuclear power options while we also encourage R&D and development of alternative and more eco-friendly sources of energy.

The reviews are in. It's not looking good, America.
Allies are giving the U.S. one-star and two-star ratings on its efforts to protect democracy and dependability in a crisis.

Many Americans give their country positive reviews. Some of the United States’ closest allies give far less flattering ratings.

The POLITICO Poll, conducted across five countries, reveals a stark disconnect between how Americans see their country and how several top allies do. As the Trump administration’s aggressive posture abroad disrupts the longstanding world order, the United States’ global reputation appears far worse than Americans realize.
So much for trump making the US more respected.

Well as long as the left is adamantly anti nuclear then it needs to be full bore ahead with oil & natural gas. Because no ‘eco friendly’ shit can even replace a fraction of it.

The national debt just crossed $39 trillion—almost doubling since Trump vowed to erase it
The United States national debt crossed $39 trillion for the first time Tuesday, arriving at the grim milestone less than five months after it first hit $38 trillion in late October—a pace of accumulation that budget watchdogs and academic economists are now calling, with unusual unanimity, “unsustainable.”​
...
“Our moral duty to the taxpayer requires us to make our Government leaner and more accountable,” President Trump wrote in March 2017, as he issued an executive order directing OMB Director Mick Mulvaney to submit a comprehensive plan to reorganize Executive Branch departments and agencies in order to keep his promise to put in place common sense reforms to eliminate waste so that the Government better serves all Americans. “We’re going to do more with less,” Trump said at the time.
...
At the current rate of growth, the Peterson Foundation projects that the debt will hit $40 trillion before this fall’s elections—another trillion-dollar jump in roughly the same compressed timeframe. Michael Peterson called the figure “staggering.” The speed of accumulation has accelerated sharply: the debt added its latest trillion in what the foundation estimates is less than five months, a rate of fiscal expansion that has few modern precedents outside of wartime or acute financial crisis.​
More broken promises from trump (and likely accompanying excuses from MAQA).

Wrong

Nobody ever said Trump was gonna be able to do anything about the national debt, look at the violent reaction to the noble idea of eliminating waste, Fraud and abuse… just look out at how much Klamdami hates Nick Shirley

I’ve often said the national debt issue needs a poster girl in the image of Greta … maybe the left will notice

Cough, cough…DOGE. And regardless, quickly growing a massive debt even further is shitty policy.

Nick Shirley? You still holding on to him? :rofl: He has been widely proven a fraud. That probably hasn’t trickled down to the streets yet. :rofl:

WRONG!

You need to put down the crack pipe - trump literally said that he thought he could do it.

Why hasn't he? Why has it skyrocketed?
