US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Why India specifically? Isn't abstain mean neutral.

Just sending a message to anyone who might not be all in on the new GloboHomo offensive: If you're not with us you're against us.

Can we deport all the useless Indians clogging up the tech industry as well?

SIR DO NOT REDEEM. DO NOT REDEEM!!1

no they aren't, its like the NDP towelhead, most of the people that are high up in positions in the US care more about india than this country, we're more likely to see the US put sanctions on white americans than the country of india.

Basically this. Once you get an infestation of streetshitters in your company, they bring in more streetshitters. (This also works via Chain Immigration: One Streetshitter will result in his entire extended family showing up after a short while.) A streetshitter will only promote streetshitters unless literally forced to do otherwise. The streetshitters work for peanuts due to H1B abuse, and the H1B system is designed to prevent streetshitters from ever leaving one job for another (the #1 best way to get better pay and move up in life) -- there's an unspoken agreement in tech if an H1B is fired or tries to switch jobs, you never hire them because you're taking away the other company's control over their imported serfs. The end result of all this is your company will end up with VPs and Directors and eventually C-level streetshitters controlling it until it collapses because no one's making decent money (cause you have to compete with the literal slave wages the H1B system encourages), and so everyone intelligent who was wiping the streetshitters' asses and fixing their problems leaves.

From what I understand, and I don't know the terms, India society has several class castes, and the upper tier one is basically Jews: Now with Curry and Poo. They're used to having their asses constantly kissed by their countrymen for the praiseworthy fact that they were born to the right parents, and when they exit India they're shocked, absolutely shocked, to discover the rest of the world doesn't give a shit, you're all Untouchable fucks working slave wages to us.

Shit Trump would have shut down the H1B pipeline and would demand India to thank him for stopping the brain drain that was happening to the country.

Trump DID shut the H1B pipeline down, or at least crippled it, IIRC. One of many things Biden immediately undid after he stole the election. Heck, post Biden one of my clients is literally moving entire apartment buildings of Chinese bugmen and Pajeeets into suburban cities to run projects, mostly in California.

I‘m scared now. Ben Garrison is being quick and to the point. Guys, stock up on canned goods, we’re in for a rough one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump want to expand oil reserves, especially when gas was around $2/gallon two years back?

I recall something about him expanding American energy independence, although it could have been more likely his policy on allowing oil drilling in national parks and extending land leases to oil companies on American soil.

Anyone else think they might institute another stay at home order to preserve gas and try to mandate at home voting?

WH says opening the Keystone XL pipeline would not offset a Russian oil ban​

Responding to questions about whether the U.S. should stop importing Russian oil, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said restarting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline would do nothing to increase oil production in the short term.

The U.S. imported a record monthly average of 670,000 barrels per day of Russian crude oil and petroleum products in 2021, according to preliminary figures from the Energy Information Administration posted Monday.

Mr. Biden canceled the Keystone XL cross-border permit with Canada last year on his first day in office, effectively killing a project capable of transporting 830,000 barrels of crude each day from Alberta to the Gulf Coast refineries.

If memory serves, Trump did purchase more oil for the Strategic Reserve, and was roundly mocked by leftist media over it. The same media is now praising Biden for releasing a pittance of oil, not because it's an actual emergency, but because it's a vain attempt to stop gas prices from skyrocketing and hurting his poll numbers.

Don't expect them to do anything smart anytime soon either, Psaki's already thrown cold water on that:

White House Opposes Ban on Russian Oil Imports; Urges World to Reduce Reliance on Oil to Punish Vladimir Putin

by CHARLIE SPIERING 3 Mar 2022

President Joe Biden and his administration said Americans should reduce their consumption of oil and gas in order to keep prices down and ultimately punish Russian President Vladimir Putin.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki reacted to calls for the United States to stop importing oil from Russia in order to further punish Putin for escalating his invasion of Ukraine.

She said President Joe Biden and his administration were not interested in banning imports of oil from Russia, because reducing the supply would only increase prices and enrich the Russians.

“What this is all a reminder of in the president’s view is our need to reduce our reliance on oil,” Psaki said in a conversation with reporters at the daily briefing. “The Europeans need to do that. We need to do that.”

She tried to downplay the amount of oil imported by the U.S. by Russia, even though imports of crude oil to the U.S. have doubled from a year ago.

“It’s only about ten percent of what we’re importing,” Psaki said.

She said the White House is looking for actions that “maximizes the impact on president Putin” and “minimizes it on the American people.”

“We don’t have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy,” she said.

There is growing support from Congress in a ban on oil imports from Russia.

Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Jon Tester (D-MT) announced legislation on Thursday that would ban Russian energy imports.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also endorsed the idea during her press conference on Thursday.

“I’m all for that — ban it,” she said. “Ban the oil coming from Russia.”

Republicans are using high oil prices to call for the production of more oil in the U.S.

Psaki mocked the idea of Biden allowing the Keystone XL pipeline to go forward.

“The Keystone pipeline has never been operational. It would take years for that to have any impact,” she said when asked about Republican calls to approve the pipeline.

“That is a proposed solution that has no relationship or would have no impact of what the problem is,” she added.

The pipeline was first rejected by former President Barack Obama in 2015, and despite former President Donald Trump’s effort to restore the project, Biden again banned it after taking office in 2021.

Psaki also blamed oil companies for not drilling enough on existing oil leases on federal land.

She indicated that Biden had more sanctions planned for wealthy Russian oligarchs in order to put more pressure on Putin.

“We want him to feel the squeeze, we want people around him to feel the squeeze,” she said.

Just stop buying gas, that way the price goes down and Putin will go bankrupt! This is a brilliant plan with absolutely no downsides.

It is absolutely fucking ridiculous how out of touch these morons are.

I think we're more likely to see shrill accusations of "price gouging!!!" from the White House instead. Maybe they'll come out and announce gas is now $2.00 but you can only get it on odd days.

 

[derpherp2]

78% of those that watched it.

So think about the types of people who would watch it. This may actually be a bad result.

I'd be more concerned about only 32% feeling safe after watching it.

Or if, we put the twittard spin on it, 68% of Americans felt unsafe after watching the SOTU address.

 

[XANA]

Anyone else think they might institute another stay at home order to preserve gas and try to mandate at home voting?

One of his goals during the SOTU address is to bolster voting rights. This could be interpreted as him trying to curb states from developing further guidelines needed to be able to vote (ie: have a government-issued ID to confirm one's identity). or heavily encouraging the proliferation of vote-from-home.

As to the second part, I'd say probably not. Declaring a stay-at-home mandate to curb rising gas prices is legally unenforceable. At best, it could be encouraged, but with the declaration that Covid is over, he can't claim health and safety as an addition reason to discourage people from driving around.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

This is the fastest climb in gas price in the shortest amount of time I've witnessed in my life.

Monday Afternoon? $3.28. Today? Most places are around $3.60, but some have climbed past $3.70.

When I first got my car gas was around $1.70.

 

[CarlosDanger]

Gas here is up 7 cents overnight, 17 cents in the last week. Biden's approval goes below 41% on the RCP aggregate.

not lying: restarting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline would do nothing to increase oil production in the short term.

they would first have to built it. still bullshit but technically not wrong, that's why politicians like to use that kind of language.

Proof that political critters don't think about the long term. They're so myopic.

 

[Some Badger]

After being out of state for a week and coming home to find gas has spiked by 60 cents in less than 3 days, I’ve accepted that there’s no longer a reason to believe gas prices will ever plateau anymore. Biden will dig his heels in for kneecapping Keystone no matter how high gasoline gets and will provide no recourse besides talking down to Joe Everyman for not buying a Tesla.

I kinda clung to that notion for 8 months now, and it’s only made me bitter. Gas will continue to rise and the swap creatures will simply sit on their hands and ignore it, even if the entire economy goes down the shitter because people can’t afford to buy nonessential goods and services anymore.

This administration will continue to punish people for owning gasoline-powered cars no matter how bad their approval ratings tank by making desicions that appeal solely to demographics of Dem voters who don’t drive to begin with.

Their "outreach" and marketing may be out of touch and cringe, but they're doing this on purpose to make you poorer.

If you live in the pod, you'll never have to worry about gas prices ever again:^)

This is disgusting shit, and more than half these people are the same fags who bitch and moan about the Thin Blue Line US Flag or similar things.

All they care about is Ukraine being free so they can launder money.

Maybe it is just the area I am in but I'd say 80% of the boomers I come into contact with are rabidly hostile towards this fraudulent administration, they believe Trump had the election stolen, and covid has been an excuse to release the vaccine bioweapon so the digital ID can be ushered in with social credit scores.
In other words, they're awake af.

The dumb shits are nearly all suburban white women.
Fucking idiots that get strung around and manipulated by the media because they're victims of constant fear.

And most of the reason things have gotten so bad is men have allowed it. We got suckered in to sports, video games, other distractions rather than our local government, our wives, our children. Things that really matter. So the responsibility was willingly abdicated and now the West is up shit's creek.

I know I'm ranting, and boomers like the 60s "freedom" freaks have turned out to be Communists as they always were, but the problem is much deeper than presented at the surface.

Stop blaming video games, sports, movies, etc. for what is a clear failing of the older generation growing the fuck up and getting out of the way of more competent younger generation while succeeding at embracing only those who kiss the ring.

Local governance is getting newcomers in various areas, several women have literally fucked around and are now finding out that no one wants them, so those that are getting married are going to be more wary than the previous set.

Finally, just remind every modern parent of how they were treated growing up and how easy it is to be better: Don’t copy your shitty parents’ actions, learn your own way of doing things.
