The obvious problem is that a U.S./Canada/EU cartel is not the entire world. Russia is already selling more goods to India, could do so with China, Sri Lanka, Africa, Latin America, etc. So the other thing they are talking about is refusing to provide shipping insurance to countries that do business with Russia. Now, if that doesn't deter countries, they'll go one step further with the cartel tough guy stuff and take people off the SWIFT system and sanction them. What I see is a bully and a blowhard of an organization feeling like it is weak so it is bluffing and behaving like it is in a position of strength. This weak-guy-acting-tough stuff will not work unless China, India, Africa and Latin America have 5 billion of the world's worst bargainers in human history.

They live in a fantasy world. Here's an example that I read yesterday:

source: NYT
Now I'm no policy expert, but how is that even supposed to work when Putin says, "lol no" and laughs in their face.

As you noted, "We won't buy unless it's X or under" doesn't matter unless Russia is unable to stop selling. Of course, even in the EU the left are stupid enough to believe they have the ability to dictate a response like that.

"We are legally only allowed to pay up to X for this."
"Ok?"
"Ok, we want to buy Y amount at X."
"No."

Can't wait to hear about how Putin is a Transphobic Antisemitic Niggerphobe, or whatever magic words they expect to force him to betray his own country and his own interest in the name of leftism.

Why did they make the people so... Grotesque? Like Toy Story's Andy and Sid had a weird charm to them but this... This is like if aliens were told to draw humans from vague descriptions.

Theory: The framework is weak. Democrats know this and admit that it doesn’t give them what they want (outside of making it appear to their base that they’re working on the issue). Republicans, otoh, know the framework is weak as well, yet see that it doesn’t contain the more egregious proposals (like AW/magazine capacity bans. I won’t even put red flag laws into this category, as they’re frivolous and it’s doubtful that they’d survive a substantial court challenge).

Could the republicans, knowing that the proposals are likely to be non-ambitious, be towing this line for the sole purpose of de-fanging the DNC’s talking point that “tHey sTonEwAlL eVuRyTHinG!!” by saying this? Could they be wanting to create optics that they “care” about the issue to the voters? They could always just reject the bill at the 11th hour and say ‘welp we tried!’

Likely: These RINO fuckers vote for whatever bill comes up in pursuit of that^ aim, and the 2A suffers another cut after already suffering thousands. Like the faggots they are, they then act surprised when they find out that the democrats will still level the same vitriolic shit at them in any situation where they refuse to debate anything less than a total repeal of the 2A.

My guess is McConnell is making Dems sacrifice something even more precious down the road.

Not saying McConnell is smart or anything, just that Dems have absolutely no political capital and going into midterms with absolutely nothing. And saying "we got gun control passed" when there are another dozen shootings between now and election day isn't going to be the win Dems are hoping for.

Loosing Latin america influence is probably what has them scared the most, trough its entire modern history the US has operated as the only functional nation on the Americas and any other country that becomes independent from the US would just suffer the same fate as Cuba and Venezuela.
The possibility of simple "what we need" trade with an eastern block being more profitable and positive for economic growth than whatever the fuck "saving the environment" policies the US is grifting is a real threat to the elite and US hegemony
Nicaragua is already importing Russian troops to help them out and the moment Russia offers marching troops on Mexico to stomp out the cartels shit's gonna get real

Micheal Shellenburger's new piece since the California primaries.

Why The Biden Admin Wants Censorship Of Renewable Energy Critics (Archive)

In the face of widespread public outrage, the Biden Administration last month backed away from a proposal to create a disinformation board at the Department of Homeland Security.

But now it’s back with new demands to censor its critics, this time using a tactic that has worked in the recent past: by framing them as a threat to public health.

In a talk with Axios, Biden Administration Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said, “The tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation.”

After an Axios reporter asked, “Isn't misinformation and disinfo around climate a threat to public health itself?” McCarthy responded, “Oh, absolutely… We are talking, really, about risks that no longer need to be tolerated to our communities.”

McCarthy pointed specifically to those who criticized the failure of weather-dependent renewables during the blackouts in Texas in February 2021. But many of those criticisms were factual. Over the last decade in Texas, investors sunk over $53 billion on weather-dependent energy sources, mostly wind turbines, which alongside frozen fossil fuel plants were largely unavailable during the cold snap in February. That was only partly because of the cold and mostly because of low wind speeds.

McCarthy claimed that the critics of renewables are funded by “dark money” fossil fuel companies, which she compared to Big Tobacco. She claimed the critics are being paid to “fool” the public about “the benefits of clean energy.” “We need the tech companies to really jump in,” she said, because criticizing renewables is “equally dangerous to denial because we have to move fast.”

But the main critics of renewables, including those used in Texas, do not receive funding from the fossil fuel industry. Those critics including Bjorn Lomborg, author of False Alarm, Steve Kooning, author of Unsettled, and me.

Moreover, McCarthy’s own interview with Axios was sponsored by 3M, a major supplier to the solar industry that has lobbied directly for climate and energy legislation that would benefit 3M.

There is no question that social media companies including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Twitter, and Alphabet (Google and YouTube) are well within their legal right to censor inaccurate and harmful information. But over the last two years, Big Tech has repeatedly censored individuals for communicating accurate information, including on covid and climate change.

Start with covid. In 2020, Facebook and Youtube censored information accurately suggesting that covid may have been created in a lab. Twitter removed a tweet by a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force who questioned the efficacy of masks. And Facebook censored a claim in October by President Donald Trump that a covid vaccine was imminent, which it was.

Censorship continued in 2021 with the encouragement of the White House. In mid-2021, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration was identifying “problematic” covid posts for Facebook to censor. YouTube removed a video in which scientists from Harvard and Stanford expressed their opinion to Florida’s governor that children should not be required to wear masks. And Facebook censored former New York Times journalist John Tierney for accurately reporting on evidence of the harms to children from wearing masks.

There has been a similar pattern on climate change. In 2020, Facebook censored me for correctly pointing out that humans are not causing a sixth mass extinction and that weather-related disasters have become less deadly and less costly over time. Shortly after, Facebook censored John Stossel after he made a video that accurately pointed out that California’s high-intensity fires were mostly caused by poor government management, not climate change. And last year, Facebook censored Bjorn Lomborg for accurately reporting that the British medical journal Lancet found that warmer temperatures save lives.

Facebook and other social media companies give the people they have censored little in the way of an appeal process. After Stossel sued Facebook, its parent company, Meta, said in response to the lawsuit that Facebook’s “fact-checks” are just “opinion” and thus immune from defamation charges.

As such, notes The Wall Street Journal, “Merely pointing out technical limitations of lithium-ion batteries could be ‘disinformation,’” under the expansive censorship framework being proposed by McCarthy, Center for American Progress, and social media companies.

What, exactly, is going on? Given the widespread backlash to its proposed disinformation board, and the unfair censorship of accurate information, why is the Biden Administration once again seeking to censor its critics?

America has been culturally targeting Russia since 2nd term Obama for not embracing faggots and feminism.

The idea of referring to Putin and the Russians as nigger haters is laughable given the decent to good relations that Russia and the Soviets had with many African nations.

But I won't be surprised if retarded Californian shitlibs go for that, and just completely break any relationship between the two nations for a long long time.

Speaking of Mexico, here is what Trump's favorite commie said a short while ago.

Mexican president slams NATO policy in Ukraine (Archive)

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president slammed NATO’s policy on the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Monday, calling it “immoral.”

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s did not mention NATO or the United States by name, but his comments were the latest example of his party’s ambiguous stance on the invasion.

Mexico has voted to condemn the invasion, but refused to join in sanctions on Russia.

López Obrador said Monday that the allies’ policy was equivalent to saying “I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”

“How easy it is to say, ’Here, I’ll send you this much money for weapons,” Lopez Obrador said. “Couldn’t the war in Ukraine have been avoided? Of course it could.”

In March, a half-dozen legislators from López Obrador’s Morena party helped create a congressional “Mexico-Russia Friendship Committee.”

The Morena party said “we respect the freedom of thought of our members” after a youth group apparently affiliated with the party sent an open letter to the Russian ambassador supporting the invasion.

Lopez Obrador also declared Mexico was not going to participate in the American (US led) summit if the commie countries where left out because "its ALL of america or none of it" since the US excluded the commies from the summit.
The US is completely squandering and loosing its grip on latin america and the democrats are too busy persecuting Trump voters

It's become standard marketing now to put ugly and fat people in commercials. Just look at the latest Sonic drive-through commercials. You can blame California on this. They obviously also conspire together on some mailing list somwhere and decide to do these things as blocks. There's no other explanation.

I'm sorry but who gives a fuck? I thought the left "celebrated" abortions and regardless on how I feel on the matter her being a "lady of the night" in the past doesn't really matter. Only thing that does is whether or not she does the job she was elected for.

Then again I didn't give a damn about Trump's crass speech or his numerous adulterous affairs. I wanted him to do a job and judged him on that. God I miss the shitposter in chief, he was better than the pantshitter by far.
