Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
So let’s get Brandon’s energy policy summed up: oil that Americans aren’t allowed to drill but must be imported from nations that hate or are actively planning war against us, can be given away to “allies” who’ve spent the past three decades actively making themselves dependent on our (and, unbeknownst to them, their) enemies, that being preferable to America drilling its own oil (forget about building more nukes).
I think I got it.
Ha! To illustrate the stupidity of Pedo Joe’s handlers, this is telling.

Worth remembering that the SPR oil has to be replaced too.
jdm:
Yup! Funny that none of the media jackals are asking when and how that will be done.
That may get harder to do now, because refineries are shutting down operations, in response to the green agenda being pushed by the DemoCommies.
If we had done what Sarah Palin suggested a decade ago — “drill, baby, drill” — we’d be rolling in clover now.
And worse than that! The US was set to do a booming business in LNG exports, which WOULD have let Germany and the rest of the EU tell Putin to put his gas where the sun don’t shine, but NOOOOO. Biden killed all of that. We must keep that gas in the ground and let NOBODY use it. The difference between intelligence and stupidity, especially in government, is that there is a limit to intelligence.
J, there is not enough LNG that US can produce to sub in for russian oil and gas. Theoretically, a very slight maybe but ABSOLUTELY not in practice. And then there is this pesky question of LNG distribution infrastructure (ie pipelines) and FACT that Eu crackers are ALREADY maxed out on gas feeds. They are not as flexible as ones in the US and it will take billions of dollars and years to retrofit them. So all this LNG talk is pure unicorn piss and farts. Do yourself a favor and step away from the trough. But I absolutely agree with you that greatest Diplomat™ leading the adults in the white house™ cnnot even sell unicorn piss and farts.
OT: Jughead wants to send $33B (that’s billion) to Ukraine to pay THEIR government’s salaries, benefits and budgetary needs? WHAT THE FUCK? Does anyone other than libturd trollbots and bike believe ANY of that money will help hem fight against Vlad? If there was EVER any proof of the Biden Inc. and Crackehead’s corruption and ties to one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, this is it. What does Uk has on Jughead? Who’s writing the script? THIS…. IS…. FUCKING… INSANE!!!!!!! Tar and feather…. nay, molasses and fireants… nay, quartering is not good enough for these fucking reprobates.
Well, Pedo Joe just exposed the left’s hypocrisy and outright lies, by declaring that the government will approve the use of higher ethanol blends in fuels. The levels of these types of fuels pollute more than the evil petroleum it’s supposed to supplement/replace.
Hey remember all those modern weapons we shipped to UK? Apparently, “The weapons shipments to the war-torn country have cut into the Pentagon’s stockpile of Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles by about 1/3. They need to be replaced and soon, according to officials.” So, not only the SPR, but also our own “strategic reserve” of weapons.
jdm, all intented consequences of virtue signaling and paying down on old Burisma debts, no?
