Come on, Republicans. Either Biden is an evil genius and lying - or heâs a doddering senile old fool. You did the same thing with Hillary, saying she was part of the wily Deep State and one of the puppet masters, as well as brain injured or some other such nonsense.
At least Democrats were consistent with their appraisal of the bankrupt, immoral, clueless, dishonest, erratic, disorganized, racist, incompetent non-politician who was the best the GOP could muster.
And, Presidents donât really need to tell the public everything. Especially when there are folks out there just itching to find some sort of problem with what they do/say. So when things do come to light: âOMGWTFBBQ - the President was lying to us!â

âThe White House canât just wash away the stink of Hunter Bidenâs laptopâ <New York Post>. âs a grand jury in Delaware moves closer to potentially indicting Hunter, 52, over alleged tax evasion, money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, pressure is mounting on the president finally to explain his role in the international influence-peddling scheme run by his son and his brother Jim Biden while he was vice president. The laptop, along with evidence provided by Hunterâs former business partner Tony Bobulinski, and Treasury documents provided to a Senate inquiry, reveal millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family and associates from dubious foreign sources, including three flashpoint countries vital to US national security: Russia, Ukraine and China. Evidence also exists showing that Joe Biden financially benefited from his then-drug-addicted sonâs overseas business dealings â perhaps by several million dollars. White House press secretary Jen Psaki played dumb last week and refused to answer questions from The Postâs Steven Nelson about how the president is navigating conflicts of interest during the Ukraine-Russia war when it comes to sanctioning people who have done business with his family. Specifically, Nelson asked about Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, who has not been sanctioned, but who allegedly wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to a firm associated with Hunterâs former business partner Devon Archer. That wire was flagged in a suspicious activity report provided by the Treasury Department to a Senate Republican inquiry, chaired by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson. Now, new evidence has emerged via the laptop showing that Baturina wired as much as $118 million to various offshoots of Rosemont Seneca Partners, the consulting firm co-founded by Hunter, Archer and John Kerryâs stepson, Chris Heinz.â ⢠Hmm. I havenât followed the detail on this. However, I believe The Bidens would say that the Biden family has form, and this is what it is. Readers?
I give rgio credit for admitting that Biden's statement is "bullshit", which I will take as the equivalent of calling it a lie, to me. No one else has.
But you left out the part immediately after that quote, âmost Americans will take a position on it solely to reinforce their existing beliefs.â Which is what you did as a follow up.
Oh my. This is just about the latest Biden lie, blaming the entire rise in gas prices on Putin and walking away from any and all responsibility for his direct affects on the price rise before Putin entered the picture. I give rgio credit for admitting that Biden's statement is "bullshit", which I will take as the equivalent of calling it a lie, to me. No one else has. Instead there is just denial that it is a lie and instead go to great lengths to say how none of it has anything to do with Biden or try and explain it away as a direct result of Trump's policies instead.
To me this is Biden peeing on us and telling us it is raining. Evidently based upon many of the responses, the majority thinks it is indeed actually just raining.
Fuel prices have gone through the roof in the UK , but Biden isn't in charge here. Hmmmm.... ? Fucking ridiculous argument, no matter who the president is......
Right. Itâs weird how, in every single US President administration, people look to the cost of gas as some sort of barometer of their performance, like augury or tea leaves or astrology: things that supposedly indicate something but donât, really.
Kurt, the problem with your argument (as usual) is you want to look at a short period of time and assess blame to prove a political point.
Of course, Russia isn't to blame, for most of the recent increases. COVID is the primary factor. Should we blame Trump that oil was worthless 2 years ago? That companies at one point were paying almost $38 a barrel just to get someone to take it? Is that Trump's fault? Right about now, you are preparing to pivot to blaming the Chinese...but that's not the issue, it's what do you do when confronted with issues and how do you address them?
You want to blame the left for Keystone, but it wouldn't have made a difference now, and if you look forward the impact of higher prices is likely to be a renewed interest in fuel economy and EV's, making the pipeline less necessary. In oil and gas, any investment in infrastructure over the past 10 years has been a net drag on earnings. That's why they stopped drilling. Do you blame Trump for that? How about all of the money Trump gave away as COVID relief (with his name on it) which has generated much of the inflation because demand has outstripped supply?
This shit takes years (or decades) to change. The problem with Joe's statement isn't that it's bullshit (which it is), it's that most Americans will take a position on it solely to reinforce their existing beliefs. People are too lazy to consider the realities and assume that other, more intelligent people have done the legwork. In reality, those people are just using them.

âBracing for Losses, Democrats Look to Biden for a Resetâ <New York Times>. âGone is the talk of a transformative agenda to remake the countryâs social safety net that was once going to be the centerpiece of Democratsâ sales pitch to voters. The words âBuild Back Betterâ were all but forbidden among the groggy lawmakers who arrived after only a few hours of sleep. Speaking to reporters, Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, joked that the slogan for Mr. Bidenâs defunct social policy and climate bill had become like the evil Voldemort in âHarry Potterâ â that which must not be named. Instead, after a year of supporting his agenda, House Democrats have pivoted to beseeching Mr. Biden to act on his own through executive actions to address the outstanding issues they care about before they face voters in November. Ms. Jayapal said the president could pass executive actions to cap the price of insulin, raise the overtime eligibility threshold in order to increase wages for tens of millions of people, and fix the so-called family glitch in the Affordable Care Act. This is when workers with modest incomes canât afford their employersâ family policies, yet fail to qualify for government subsidies to buy their own insurance.â
âBiden, Democrats Lose Ground on Key Issues, WSJ Poll Findsâ <Wall Street Journal>. Wall Street Journal poll. âThe survey also found Republicans making gains among minority groups. By 9 percentage points, Hispanic voters in the new poll said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat. The two parties had been tied among Hispanic voters in the Journalâs survey in November. Democratic margins also eroded among Black voters, who favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 percentage points in the new survey, down from 56 points in November. Support for a Republican candidate rose to 27% among Black voters, up from 12% in November.â

âTulsi Gabbard crosses party lines and goes after the âpower eliteâ in CPAC speech where she earns standing ovation for praising the Durham probe into âClinton corruptionâ and blasting FISA courtsâ <Daily Mail>. âShe then asked Ronald Reagan dinner attendees to join her in âan alternative universe.â âOne where our leaders actually took their oath of office to the Constitution seriously,â she said. âIf we were living in this world, they would shut down secret FISA courts and stop three letter agencies like the NSA, FBI and CIA from illegally spying on Americans.â âThey would denounce the Attorney General of the United States for his disgraceful attacks on American parents like those Loudoun County and across the country,â she continued. In Loudoun County, Virginia parents were demonstrating against mask-wearing and the teaching of critical race theory. She then name-dropped Clapper and the Durham probe. Special Counsel John Durham is investigating the origins of the FBIâs Russia probe. Connected to that is the use of FISA warrants, which former President Donald Trump and his allies have criticized as one was used to monitor Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser for the ex-presidentâs 2016 campaign.â ⢠I donât know who Gabbard would want second on her ticket, though.

Beliefs, not facts, beliefs.
Lazy is a nice way of putting it...and the media sells them their beliefs with free shipping.
What's interesting about the oil and the supply chain story is not one politician, neither side is encouraging conservation.
Hey America, there is a war in Europe.
Do your part and cut back just 10% of your consumption. Turn the heat down to 65, and don't drive unless you have to.
Hey Joe ! Yep the rise in gas prices is all because of Putin.
#PutinsPriceHike
LIAR ! Maybe the last week or so, but before that, it is all on you.

Trump promised to build a big beautiful wall, and that Mexico would pay for it. Was he lying, or did he fail to keep a promise?
That smells like the Theranos defense: she wasnât defrauding everyone (although the facts show that she was, indeed) but she was just the head of a failed project, and - hey - shit happens, you know?
So the former guyâs promises of a wall, repeal/replace Obamacare, tax breaks for the non-rich, draining the swamp, etc etc etcâ¦That wasnât fraud, per se. It was just that he failed as a President.
And now after today's events, let us flash back to a Q & A from 4 December 2020 during an Office Of The President Elect presser where Biden was asked the following and his response :
Q : "Do you think the Covid vaccine should be mandated ?"
Biden : "No. I don't think it should be mandated. I wouldn't demand it to be mandated. I would do everything in my power as POTUS to encourage people to do the right thing."
And nothing is different from 12/2020 so that he would have a different opinion

It was naive to think Trumpers would do the right thing (they live for spite). Should have gone with those re-education camps, and squads...
The governmentâs response resembled what, today, are wild conspiracy theories. Contrary to the assertions of some on the far right, the Biden administration has never suggested going door to door to force people to take coronavirus vaccines. But in the 1890s and 1900s, that actually happened: Squads of men would enter peopleâs homes in the middle of the night, breaking down doors if necessary, to inject people with smallpox vaccines.
