House Dem: Big Oil is profiteering by, er ... doing what we demanded

cnbc-schakowsky-730x0.jpg

If Merriam-Webster could embed tweets in its definitions, you’d find this attached to the entry for “hypocrite.” In fact, CNBC thought this exchange between Joe Kernan and House Democrat Jan Schakowsky was so laughably hypocritical that they made sure to highlight it on Twitter. Schakowsky plans to hold a hearing on Big Oil’s supposed price gouging, but Kernan reminds Schakowsky that she and her colleagues spent last year haranguing oil executives to cut back production — including a vote to end fracking in the US.

Worth going to and reading the whole article. I gave up on trying to cut and paste it, the formatting doesn't work.

Destroying America to "Save" It? Biden's Nihilistic Destruction of the Energy Industry | Mises Institute

The Biden administration in its desire to "save" the planet from climate change has decided to destroy one of this country's most productive and important
mises.org mises.org


The extreme left wants to "build back better". Before they can, they intend to raze to the ground what exists today. They intend to destroy Christianity, American identity, social norms, capitalism, the innocence of childhood, the value of human life - all of it must be burned to the ground and scraped away before they can build their Socialist Utopia.

This is very important to understand. The lens you're looking through best be clear and free of obstruction, and electioneering (under our constitution) is to constantly be expected (not just suspected).

But sometimes what's best for the country is also good politics, and President Trump was a master of weaving those two together. He was constantly electioneering, and he continues to offer his electioneering services to this day, with his endorsements. He's the political equivalent of Oprah's book club (or whatever that thing was). If he says vote for candidate A, then people think a little more frequently, "Candidate A is worthy of consideration." That's huge in politics. Parties and independents pay big money for that, and here President Trump is just constantly giving it away for free. He ought to claim this as deductions in all his future tax returns, he offers at the very least what would constitute 100s of millions of USD worth of advertisements, and all for nothing, no fee, no salary, no payment. And he's doing it just for Repubs. Of course Dems smear the man, they are JEALOUS of Repubs for having him. If you ever wanted to see an about face it would be if the former president suddenly decides he's a Democrat. Suddenly, every single criticism of him would be swallowed up in partisan electioneering rhetorical explanation iow narrative and propaganda. This thought experiment is extremely simple to do, just if you can see that our constitution provides the conditions where partisanship first (meaning here the establishing of parties, not party-specific rhetoric) and electioneering (more like party-specific rhetoric) are constantly to be expected. Electioneering is exactly what each party is always attempting to accomplish all the time, round the clock, and independent of whether it's election season or not. Repubs and Dems want to win elections, and the specifically partisan (in the sense of, what a party does, not which party) work of attempting to win elections has no 'off season.'​

I do not know of any Dem who would support him. I, under no circumstances, would ever support the vile creature. I hated him back when he was a supposed democrat for the way he treated his FIRST wife, as well as his known racism and habitual lying, bullying and grifting.

I also wouldn’t support any politician (regardless of party) who supports him.

Because of godless leftist propaganda deluded democrat cultists think they are clearly right for hating Trump, cops, whites, and conservatives. Ungodly democrats don't know it but they hate God also.

OK. I'm not supporting him or not-supporting him, I'm just stating a fact. The guy has the Midas touch right now and any Democratic strategists or leading thinkers (see the OP-ED of the New York Times for many of them) would love to have something like that in their party and on their side, not just right now but all the time, to help them win elections more efficiently.

Republicans don't have to spend as much in their campaigns with the former president's endorsements, that's just a fact, as much a fact as 'rape is rape' is a fact. Republican candidates all other things being equal don't have to spend as much as their Democratic rivals during campaigning, because President Trump is doing some of that 'leg work' himself for free, he's endorsing candidates, and that means all other things being equal those endorsed candidates are getting more consideration, and consideration is one of the desiderata of electioneering. Repubs are getting a discount, what Dem doesn't want that? If they're more efficient, they win more elections, and that's the name of their game.

What I'm hoping for is the following scenario:

A tidal wave of red on November 8th leading to supermajorities in both houses.
A two-week impeachment starting on January 3rd and ending with Joe's removal from office on January 17, before the end of his second year.
A flurry of veto proof legislative activity overturning all of Joe's ill-conceived executive orders.
A legislative branch that effectively ignores the executive.
Legislative action to severely limit executive orders.
A return to a thriving economy that leads to a strong surge of further red in 2024.
President DeSantis.
An America Made Great Again.

Impeaching Biden might be a good idea as long as he is not removed allowing Kamalhair to ascend "the throne."
