This is such a strange take in light of Donald Trump's recent praise of Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump just described Putin's justification for further incursion into the Ukraine, as "genius" and "savvy."

The use of this meme seems to imply that the Russian incursion either wouldn't have happened at all if Donald Trump was still the President of the United States, or that Trump would have done something to stop it.

Just from gauging the rhetoric from Donald Trump's own response to this, what could possibly be your basis for believing that?

Lol...worst take yet after Russia invades Ukraine one year into the Biden administration. Russia has been preparing for sanctions








The Double Irony Of Asking OPEC To Increase Oil Production

Nov 6, 2021,10:54am EDT

As I wrote in February of this year in The Inherent Risks In President Biden’s Energy Plan:

“If we prematurely discourage investment in fossil fuels — and then our dependence doesn't decline as rapidly as the Biden Administration envisions — that is a recipe for shortages, higher prices, and greater dependence on foreign nations for our energy.”

Like the Obama Administration, the Biden Administration initially adopted a relatively hostile position toward the fossil fuel industry. The revocation of the Keystone XL Pipeline permit and the temporary suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal lands were policies that signaled that the Biden Administration wants to move the country away from oil.

But what happens when Americans aren’t ready to move on from oil, and new domestic supplies aren’t meeting demand?

That’s the position we currently find ourselves in. The Biden Administration could respond in one of two ways.

They could say “High oil prices will speed up the transition to renewable energy” — which is certainly how they feel privately. After all, U.S. officials attended the COP26 U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow this week, where they discussed plans to reduce carbon emissions. They could tell Americans to take their medicine, live with higher gas prices, and then privately hope that hastens the transition to green energy.

But people don’t like paying higher gasoline prices. So, the first irony is that the Biden Administration asked OPEC to pump more oil, undermining its COP26 messaging of reducing fossil fuel consumption. At the G-20 meeting in Rome, President Biden complained:

“The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right.”

-756 on the futures, down 1700 the past week.
$3.20 gas and climbing
Inflation up
Bidens numbers crashing right at 56 weeks into office

This is what you get when you trust a guy who runs a campaign from his caretakers basement.

It turns out, electing a dementia patient to office isn’t a good idea.

Ultimately, Kelly Loefler was a terrible candidate and should never have been in the seat in the first place. I feel like if it was reversed and Perdue had to face Warnock, Perdue would have won in a landslide. Ossof ran a good campaign.

Ossoff didn't run a good campaign. Perdue was nearly two points ahead of him at the end of the special election. Ossoff also received less votes in the runoff than he did the special election. He just happened to receive more than Perdue in the runoff. About 450,00 less people voted in the runoff than the special election. Not sure why some of you can't look at actual numbers and data to figure things out.

This is the first real war we have seen in the social media age. There hasnt been anything like this since we rolled into Iraq and it has been a long time indeed since tanks bust into a EU country of 44 million people. This isn't some crapwater in Africa or a 'Stan, this is a real country. The first real war that the little bobbleheads in college right now have ever seen.

Keep your eyes peeled, little woke ones. While you fret about your pronoun, cheer Heather having two mommies and discuss the repressive history of our founding fathers - the real world is about to intrude.

You shoukd take the time to read the bible, because I have my fathers bible from the marines, and it tells you these things. I was taught christianity at an early age, and then learned science and history which both backed them up. God is not a church. Christ was not an instrument of war. Christ is an instrument of faith. Spread the good news.

Aren't you the one who was judging and pointing fingers at the unvaccinated a few weeks ago? Maybe you should consider reading that Bible more and spreading that good news to yourself.
