Honestly, did you think Joe Biden could be as incompetent as he has been? I knew he would be bad, his combination of senility and stupidity was never going to lead anywhere good, but to be this systemically bad on everything is almost more of a skill than an accident. You’d really have to try to suck as badly as he does.
You would think that sooner or later he’d hit bottom, after all, there’s only so much sucking someone can do, right? You’d be right to think that, but wrong if you did. Every single day, when the President of the United States wakes up, Joe Biden’s first action appears to be to reach for a shovel to dig an even deeper hole. There is no bottom to hit when all you do is suck.
How does a man inherit a country that is energy independent, a exporter of energy, and, within a year, make it and the western European allies we could have continued to sell our energy to, dependent like a newborn baby on one of our obvious enemies? Anyone can screw up, it takes skill to screw up so thoroughly that it will take years to fix. It’s the difference between chipping a plate and smashing it repeatedly with a hammer.
We are now, thanks to Joe Biden, left scrambling for oil. The President is planning a trip to Saudi Arabia to beg them to up their production to bring down costs. Costs which, by the way, were as predictable as the setting Sun.
Not only are we looking to OPEC, we’re considering getting into bed with Iran for oil. That’s a hell of a journey – just 10 years on from Biden and Democrats mocking Mitt Romney for calling Russia our number one geo-political foe to puckering up on the rear ends of the terrorists who run Iran to bail us out in a spat with Vladimir Putin. Again, it takes skills to be this thoroughly incompetent.
Now comes word that we’re even reaching out to the dictator in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, because why not? His policies have driven countless hordes of his citizens to crash our southern border, at least those who’ve been able to escape his tyranny. Why not climb into bed with him too?
The Biden administration is willing to crawl into bed with foreign government, no matter how disgusting or evil, to low the price of oil. They won’t allow for expanded drilling in the US, that’s a non-starter, but if you’re either actively paying to murder Americans, or even just considering it, the Biden team is open for business. The more oppressive you are to your own people the better! China could turn genocide into crude oil, Secretary of State Antony Blinken would be on his way to Beijing right now.
Listening to Biden apologists try to defend cancelling of drilling leases and pipelines has me remembering a time before Joe Biden went senile, back when he was just dumb. My whole life, Democrats have been doing everything possible to make the United State dependent on foreign oil. It’s been bizarre, really, they’ve had no use for domestic production.
The issue of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) has been argued by entire life. Every time it’s come up, Democrats have argued the exact same thing – it won’t make a difference because we wouldn’t get any oil out of it for 10 years!
They’ve been making that same argument for 30-40 years. If they hadn’t been so obstructive, in the pockets of environmentalists or oil producing countries (who knows who it is, at this point, but it’s someone), we’d been neck deep in that oil and wouldn’t have to care who sabre-rattles.
The White House is making the exact same argument against the KeystoneXL pipeline today – we wouldn’t see any oil from it for 10 years! Guess what? Those 10 years will pass, and we will still need that oil. Also, those 10 years could be shortened if the leftists would call off their endless stream of lawsuits meant to block and delay progress.
If we had leaders interested in a future beyond their next election, we wouldn’t be in this mess. We’d not only be an even larger energy exporter than we were when Biden came in, we’d have solvent Social Security and Medicare programs.
We have none of that now, not even close. All we have is a senile President who is losing what’s left of a mind that was never fully functioning to begin with. God help us.
