CYA. Cover Your Ass.
What actions did Joe Biden take on Day 1 regarding oil. He cancelled Keystone XL pipeline and poof 35000 jobs went up in air. He went ahead to sign other Executive Orders that curtailed prospecting of oil
I presume Trump bye bye letter to Joe Biden was to take steps to limit domestic oil production.
Bloody fool .

You live in a nation where the main export is oil and don't understand how oil exploration and production work.
Here is a chart of US oil production. You can even see when the agreement was reached. Yeah, that big drop around May 2020. I'm sure you can guess what happened to the prices then.
Can you point me where on the chart you think Biden's policies caused a crash or hurt the price.?
Trump makes you stupid.

In NYC illegal immigrants have occupied dozens of quite good hotels , they are also getting free cash while some have new mobile phones.

Kamala Harris FEMA spent close to $ 1 billion on illegal aliens , now it does not have enough money to aid the hurricane hit areas that reports over 200 dead, over 1000 missing and are cut off from cell phone coverage and internet.

Starlink is aiding the people there. Trump has also visited and held fundraisers for the victims. Not forgetting Kamala admin refused to grant the contract to Starlink to provide high speed internet to over six hundred thousand homes in rural areas.

Kamala has provided this week billions of dollars to Ukraine.

Icing on the cake.

Vice President Kamala Harris is currently facing criticism after announcing that $750 would be provided to Hurricane Helene victims through federal aid.

During a visit to Augusta, Georgia—one of the hardest-hit areas—Harris revealed the financial relief, which will be distributed via FEMA. The aid is intended for immediate food needs, with further support available for long-term damage and other losses. The announcement followed the Biden administration's declaration of Georgia as a disaster zone on October 1.

Anyone with some grey matter in his head, how you support such an administration is beyond reason.

You do know Republicans want to gut FEMA. So, if Republicans had their way, they would be getting 0. And the $750 is immediate relief to help people buy essential goods right now. They'll be able to apply for disaster relief funds and will probably get trailers/hotels and such to live in until their houses are sorted.

Skirting issues. COVID brought down demand who don't know that. Biden and Kamala are anti oil, largely ceding control of production to OPEC through their war on oil. Long term deliberate efforts to get rid of oil don't lower short term prices you idiot .
Saudi and Russia for years fought shale production because their economies are dependent on oil,Joe Biden aided them . Assured of oil control they are happy with higher prices at less production. Kamala thinks she can reduce demand of oil by promoting green energy.

Did he have a reason to vote against FEMA funding ? If you had brains ,that's what you should have uncovered instead of going along with media excuses. Could this have been the reason why?
This news comes after FEMA has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on migrants due to Border Czar Kamala Harris’ open border instead of prioritizing funding for Americans impacted by disasters,' Gaetz wrote in a scathing letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Mayorkas on Friday.

'My office has been in contact with whistleblowers in numerous emergency-management functions at the federal, state, and local levels, and they all point to the same critical mismanagement issues.'

'FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground,' Gaetz, a close ally of ex-President Donald Trump, wrote.

With over 200 Americans dead and the agency strapped for cash, FEMA's massive budget for illegal immigrants has come under scrutiny as a possible way to provide support to devastated U.S. citizens

Musk weighed in on FEMA efforts to sabotage SpaceX engineers from providing help.

In a series of explosive posts on X, the furious billionaire CEO revealed that his SpaceX engineers, who are on the ground providing vital communications and supplies via Starlink technology, are being blocked by FEMA from delivering lifesaving resources to victims in Asheville and surrounding areas.

Was a helicopter pilot about to face charges for helping victims of the hurricane?

Previously,, I stated here,anyone supporting Kamala here needs to have his head examined.

Clearly you, Bemeruca and Raumdeuter don't know it because you guys keep saying Trump's policies were responsible for low gas prices.

Again Trump negotiated the agreement that drastically cut Oil production because he said gas prices were too low. The oil production cut lead to an increase in the price of gas. Oil/Gas prices are an input cost for any good, so Trump's oil production cut caused some of the inflation post pandemic. So, Trump bears some responsibility for not only the high gas prices but also some of the inflation (globally as well, since the increase in oil prices was global).

Here is Billionaire Marc Cuban explaining it.

After COVID recovery was never really the same.
When oil dealers project low oil production arising from leftie efforts to kill oil , the prices shoot up.
I bet you know that. The threat to limit production is driving prices up, coupled with OPEC drawing down on production.

NEW: MSNBC’s Lemire attacks Trump and
@elonmusk
for “spreading lies” about FEMA spending money on illegals, and now being unable to fund future disaster relief:

“No evidence to support Trump's claims."

DHS’ own figures and Mayorkas’ own apparently don't count as evidence to MSNBC.

Incredible.

These are the same people who want to censor 𝕏 for "spreading disinformation."
Earlier today I stated FEMA spent $1Billion on illegals, I now provide receipts.

From same link. Mayorkas , 3 months ago saying FEMA is prepared for hurricane season.

The only reason you'd say positive things about Biden is there's lots of positive things to say about Biden, while there is nothing positive to say about pussy grabbing lying grafting dump.

And you know very well that I've never bothered about your grammar (provide evidence I have please!), because your lying is way more concerning.

Xavier5:


He can't explain how, base on liberal values, Xavier is not a liberal, but rather choose to believe such simply because it makes him feel good

Also, he's not interested in the topic of abortion, and which liberal value made Xavier pro-life, but rather, is more interested in branding Xavier "not a liberal". This is funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, if that makes you be at peace, then good. You have my blessings 😊😊😊😊😊


To my fellow liberals that might be curious on why I chose such stand on the issue of abortion. I'm open to discussion. Liberal to liberal, let's engage, as we appeal to our liberal values on the issue 😎

And one more thing to all who care to know, I personally think pro-life and pro-choice are not conservative and liberal ideologies, I feel we are just the one making them so for political reasons. In my interactions with people, I've come across pro-choice conservatives and pro-life liberals, the latter I happen to be a part of... proudly 😎

But as I earlier said, if any liberal here wants to engage me on the topic, I'm open to that discussion, after all, reasoning is a liberal value 🙃🙃🙃




#Xavier

For example. I am conservative but I am very pro-choice

budaatum:


Except that most anti-abortionists don't reason that way because they want to impose their choice on my body.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Minnesota

How does that represent MOST anti abortionist? It's like saying Osama represent most Moslems

raumdeuter:

Most anti-abortionists are not just against abortion for themselves. In fact, they don't need to be anti-abortionists for themselves because they don't plan to abort. What they intend is to impose their anti-abortionism on others, same way Osama wanted to impose his form of whatever it was on others.

So, I wouldn't say "It's like saying Osama represent most Moslems", but that most anti-abortionists are like Osama, and not so much in their terrorism, since most anti-abortionists are not terrorists, but in their desire to impose their will on others like Osama tried to do.

That said. Let me share a conspiracy with you. I call it conspiracy so you are minded to consider it instead of mindlessly believe it.

But, he is the one labeling himself. This whole discussion is predicated on him labeling himself a liberal.
Liberalism is an ideology. An ideology has tenets/beliefs.
Do you think if you don't align with those tenets/beliefs of an ideology, that you can say you are part of that ideology?
I think words matter and that's how we can effectively communicate.

He could have taken the stance you did. Just promoted his believes without choosing to label himself.

His abortion stance reminds me of the "compassionate conservatism" of George W. Bush. Same ideas, now trying to sell it as liberalism.

IjeBos:

Liberalism is an ideology. An ideology has tenets/beliefs.

Have you not heard of humptydumtyism, where words mean exactly what one says they mean? It wouldn't be a thing if everyone lived by one recognised dictionary and word meaning.

IjeBos:

Like I can't call myself a Christian despite not loving my neighbour and murdering her husband whom I covet and not believing in Christ? I wish humans were that logical.

You yourself mentioned Bush's "compassionate conservatism". I went further and looked up "fascist liberal" for its sake and was rather surprised, though its just the title of a book. Liberal conservative surprised me much less. I've after all heard some define liberalism as socialism, and even communism.

Words may matter to one, but it is, in my opinion, illiberal to assume words matter or must matter equally to everyone else. Such thinking leaves no room for idiots and fools who don't know what words mean and those who just see things different to how oneself might.

And I repeat. I'm not talking about anyone here in particular, but people, generally.

All fair and well but at some point we have to have a generalized understanding of words to communicate.
And I posit that if your arguments rests on "words mean what one says they mean", it's probably not a winning argument. but ey.

But the issue isn't even what one chooses to call themselves. I don't care.
But what I do see quite frequently nowadays are people saying stuff like "I'm a Democrat but" than take a 180 degree opposite stance.
My antenna goes up when I hear that.

Why can't one just argue their positions and views, without labeling themselves?

They came up with innovative ways of horizontal drilling, eventually cutting fracking costs to a competitive level with Saudi. Saudi oil wells are cheap ,oil is not very deep, but they spend a lot to keep the population happy, while their Princes party, LovePeddler themselves out while drink alcohol in their palaces.
