All of this is while the ground game is decaying, infrastructure is falling apart, people are fleeing NYC in droves, and the Dems have no meaningful response to any of it beyond focusing on asinine shit.
I'm sure they'll try to register the migrants as voters to inflate their voter turnout.

Between the mass influx of migrants, increasing crime rate and cost of living, NYC is committing political and social suicide.

The thing with the strategic reserve is that... people know it's being tapped. They know, in general terms, that the reduction is finite. They don't know how finite or how close to running out it is or how long the drop will be. But by now it has leaked into general consciousness that the drop is finite.

So everyone knows the price is going to skyrocket.

So this isn't even actually gaining them support. It's just kicking the can down the road and hoping to avert one of several electoral disasters.

Funnily enough, even some pozzed media outlets are questioning if this was a political decision due to midterms. Obviously, it is, but people are realizing that the SPR was one of the few pieces of leverage we had and it's all but gone before things even got disastrous.

I was thinking this morning about how my 2008 self would feel with me believing OPEC is not in the wrong from the current situation.

Is it possible to commit political or social suicide if you don't think it's possible for your side to lose an election?

If a fat person goes bungee jumping and secures the belt around their neck because their waist is too thick, I'm still gonna say they committed suicide when they necked themselves. Delusions of immortality don't change suicide.

For some context for others old Joe is supposed to address the nation today about his grand plan to lower gas prices by selling what's left in the SPR. Yes, completely emptying it. Oh and likely some remarks about how oil companies bad, gas retailers bad, and the Saudis doubly bad (without explicitly saying so).

Add on top persistent rumours about these midwits intending on refilling the SPR at ~$75 bbl (a price which both won't be seen anytime soon and sets a price floor) and it's going to be an utter shitshow. Really gives some credence to the idea the Dems will let things fall apart after the midterms because this bold strategy is only going to see gas prices start significantly rising once November hits.

If I remember correctly, they originally set the price floor at 80$ and then shifted to 70$ because apparently the current administration thinks this shit is just like Michael Scott from The Office declaring bankruptcy.

From the Oil Nation perspective, they are absolutely going to seize this opportunity. It's been global policy to move green (whether the infrastructure even exists or not) which obviously implies less reliance on oil and less revenue for OPEC and others.

The only real leverage the US has is the USD, and uhh, the adversaries are obviously trying to remove that leverage.

To play devil's advocate, I absolutely refuse to believe that Biden is THIS awful at everything and seemingly managed so much in 2 years. Unless it's part of the globohomo conspiracy, because it's all too much.

To shamelessly steal from Cube, there is no conspiracy. It's a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan. Big Brother is not watching you. And TBH, that's even more terrifying.

Anyone would be this awful with this level of direct involvement. Problems is very much the gov trying to 'solve' problems they made in the first place, by creating more problems. Bidens mistake is buying into the myth that the president can control or fix anything. There's no conspiracy, there's just a government with a limited set of levers that can affect a limit set of things, and they're trying to affect all the things, in different and conflicting ways, at the same time.

The other issue is that even with the strategic reserve being emptied as quickly as possible... gas is still too damn expensive. Going from "jesus fucking christ" to "god damn it, fine" on pricing isn't exactly a win.
 
Biden is off his rocker and they are trying to avoid anything too terrible. But he is going to mush before their very eyes.

It's not intentional and is definitely causing some serious worry but... well, what can they do?
Somehow, the notion that there is not a shadow cabal puppeteering the president, and that Biden is actually at the reins of power, is the most terrifying thing I've seen in this thread.

This seems so incredibly short sighted even for them. I know they have no qualms about fucking the country in the long term to cover their ass, but this means that they are guaranteeing this issue will crop up even worse in 24. Why are they so eager to save themselves for these mid terms that they're willing to fuck their chances at maintaining the presidency?

When you're dealing with The President (yes, the capitalization is on purpose), who holds a great deal of actual, hard power, soft power can be surprisingly difficult to apply. Especially if his brains are leaking out of his ears and he is physically incapable of understanding such complex terms as "blackmail". You apply the screws to a man like that and he might just snap and do something stupid.

Because for once, the Republicans are pissed. As in, really, really pissed. Between the election fortification of 2020, the complete lockdown on talking about that, Democrat fuckups, this 1/6 committee, the Corona bullshit... people are really, really pissed, and what's worse is that the politicians in the GOP are actually paying attention to their voters for once.
 
As Liberals gives their buddies above the law slaps on the wrists...
Fun fact: The BBC called the dossier "discredited" in their article on this.

Never ever have liberals in your legal system, they do not believe in fair and equal justice. If anyone is running in your local justice department make sure to know who's ideology's is who before voting.

I think the people who pulled out all the stops to get him fortified into office didn't imagine he could be this bad.

Like that's gonna do nothing. People have moved on from Bannon years ago. Unless Bannon has some bombshell to drop, unlikely. And even if he went to jail, a smart person would have given a deadswitch to someone for this "bombshell" to drop even if they were in prison or dead.
