Yea, the Kool-Aid must be pretty tasty lol
Yup, sure is a lot to unpack there. Get your sleep, and in the meantime I’ll give you a bit more to unpack.
1. Of course we’re going to need to stop using fossil fuels…at some point. Are we there yet? Hell no we aren’t. We’re what? 50-75 years away from having the infrastructure needed to move away completely from fossil fuels? And if we continue on the pace the Biden administration is on, we’ll never get there. As stated before, 7 lousy charging stations in 3 years. These Green companies have billions of dollars in their coffers not being spent as it was proposed and approved for. Like to guess how much these companies are making on the interest they’re making on all those tax dollars sitting in their investment funds? Ever work in the corporate world? Ever have full P&L responsibility? And only build 7 charging stations in 3 years and not be held accountable for the actual business plan that’s fallen so far behind? If you have, you would have been fired a long time ago. And my AC bill? Combine that with how my auto insurance has more than doubled under the Biden admin and I’m already there. Oh…and one more thought to consider. Do you realize how our electricity is currently generated? By fossil fuels. You don’t even have to look it up. I’ll give you the numbers. In the U.S. in 2023 60%-70% of our electricity was generated by fossil fuels. Maybe actually building the infrastructure first to replace fossil fuels? Now that’s a novel idea.
2. Your comment about NATO never being stronger and more effective under Biden once again is completely incorrect. And again, is an insult to FDR. NATO was at its strongest after WWII. Since then, and more importantly currently, has turned itself into just another political body sucking up our tax dollars. Care to ask the opinion of our strong and extremely productive Jewish communities their opinion about NATO? I’m sure they would disagree. Jewish students are scared shitless just walking to class at the moment due to the fact that the Biden admin has allowed antisemitism to run rampant in our country due to his weak ass bowing to those illustrious squad members he’s so fucking scared of.
Putin is going nowhere but broke. He’s supposed to be a super power and can’t gain an inch in over two years in a small country like Ukraine. He’s a joke. With the proper sanctions, and I add, sanctions that are actually upheld like they were under Trump, we wouldn’t even be here with this bullshit war in Ukraine. Not to mention, Iran would still be broke too being that Trump held the sanctions on Iran strong. He never let Iran slide and sell oil to China like Biden and his cronies are. Take a close look at Iran’s GDP under Trump compared to what it is now under Biden. The numbers don’t lie.
Yea, Trump said he respected Putin and Xi. But, ever heard the age old statement about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer? It’s true cause I’ve lived it in the corporate world. IMHO, NATO needs to be investigated and possibly disbanded once a new governing body that can be trusted and put in place. Again, ask our Jewish communities how they feel about NATO turning their back on Israel.
What I’m trying to say folks is think! I mean really fucking think deeply! Don’t just listen to the talking heads on the major news outlets scratching the surface to get ratings with their bullshit talking points. Read! Research! And stop letting your hate get in the way of your common sense. I know you folks still have common sense. Let it loose, it’ll be ok I promise lol.
Some suggested reading for ya basil: George Orwell’s book 1984. It’s not a long read. Should only take you about 3 hours give or take. It’ll scare the living shit outta you. And if it doesn’t? It sure the fuck should. And then? Read it again!

Trump called is a "Chinese hoax," reversed the modest measures that had been implemented because they had Obama's name on them, and withdrew from international efforts to come up with a global consensus that will be necessary to make any real progress.
Your comments about NATO are a bit confusing. I believe FDR was dead when NATO was established, so it don't think I have insulted him. Whether it is stronger now than ever may be debatable, but with the addition of Finland and Sweden, it is certainly larger now than ever. After WWII, NATO did not include the nations of East Europe, so I think the claim that "NATO was at its strongest after WWII" is questionable at best. The claim that NATO and Biden are responsible for antisemitism is just absurd.
Sanctions of Putin under Trump, seriously?
Thank you for reminding us to read Orwell's 1984. Actually, I read it for the first time in high school and have reread it since then. Last year I saw a play by the same name and marveled at the striking similarities to Trump and his historic litany of lies, starting with his blatantly false claims about size of the crowd at his inauguration to his claims that he won the the 2020 election "by a lot." While we could all benefit from a reread of Orwell's 1984, I think it should be required reading for MAGA extremists. (BTW, I do not include you in that category.)
