Why the U.S. went from the biggest exporter of oil to begging for oil I'll never know but many things could be solved if we went back to finishing the pipeline and fracking. But this pigheaded administration will never admit that Trump was doing the right thing. 

They put their Trump hatred above Americans.

What He Said!

Fracking? Did he say go back to fracking?

You know who you are.

Fracking creates millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater, at a time when clean water is in short supply.

Maybe we should invade Mexico and wipe out the drug cartels. Betcha most Mexicanos would be thankful.

We have a thread in here somewhere about the cartels. They are savages. Someone posted a picture of Mexicans hung from a bridge. That has stuck with me as it was posted years ago.

Russia has warned Finland & Sweden they will face military consequences if they join NATO. 

I hope there are people out there looking for a way to wipe Putin off the face of the earth.

The United States will sanction everything but oil and gas from the Russians. We will stop their Russian dressing and beauty products but leave gas & oil alone. 


                                                                                                                                  

It's admirable the way ordinary Ukrainian citizens are learning to use arms to protect their Capitol.

I watched some of the interviews that are being done at the border. No male 18-60 is allowed to leave. I saw an 18 year boy who took his mother to the border to make sure she arrived safely and he was returning to fight for his country. He looked like a boy, he sounded like a boy. He was asked if he was scared. I saw terror written all over his face.

I saw a man who was born in Ukraine, but now lives in Austria, he had a good job and he was raising his family there, but now he is at the border. When asked why he came, his voice broke when he said he loves his country and he was going to fight for her.

All of the interviews were saddening, truly awful, and then I saw an old woman trying to flee with her cat in her arms and I cried.

The people who have the means to do that care only for their "green revolution". Increasing polarization is how they intend to do it, and Putin is on their payroll.

I'm seeing more & more people saying this. I already took your advice.

There is a war going on in this day and age where women and children are fleeing and men being left to fight to their death and you're worried about going green? The planet is one and only one and fracking is happening in other countries, we're not going to save our little slice of the planet.

The only way that fracking is viable is if it's subsidized, meaning the cost of cleaning up the environmental degradation gets socialized by adding it to the national debt. Conservatism use to support environmental stewardship. It stopped due to corruption. Fracking is not in the public interest.

It's in my financial interest. I care about now, not the future. We are a wart on the earth's ass. It was fine before us and will be long after.

Hi Sal! I'm actually capable of carrying on conversations about several topics at one time, I just move from one topic to another. I learned to do that as a little kid. Just so you know, you're never too old to learn, you should probably note that.

You could be right about not saving our planet, and that would be because there are too many people who selfishly think like you do or straight up don't believe it's a problem. There are those who are willfully ignorant all day, everyday.

She doesn't care about anything outside of her own property line. She's made that clear for many years.

I have so much respect Ukrainians, everyone from teenagers to grandmas are taking up arms to protect their Capitol, such a contrast to Americans who assault their Capitol. Ukrainians defend their country while millions here denigrate theirs.

If you don't care about others, why should anyone care about you?

People like you epitomize the old saying "penny wise but pound foolish".

The United states is doing more about pollution than any other country, it's when it starts to affect our security and national interest that it goes downhill fast. China, Russia and many African and south american countries do nothing. We are doing more than any of them. But i cannot see how ending a pipeline and letting our enemies get an economic foothold on the world does any good.

This administration has taken away the bullets for our guns in some dream world fantasy that is on a pink cake in their minds. Biden has thrown away our Trump cards.


If slow Joe had left the oil dept alone it would be easy for us to sell to Europe and squeeze the Kremlin, perhaps enough to evade this war. But the minute Putin saw how weak Brandon is he went for it. It's pitiful but this is all joey ice creams fault.
