So... A Russian Sanctions Bill Sent To 45 to Sign

[Hypoxia]

Not signed yet.

Expect maximum gaming and delays. Don't be surprised if there's a vivid distraction soon -- it's time to draw attention elsewhere.

It ain't signed 'til it's signed. Heh.

I really hope he doesn't sign it. The last thing we should do is piss off Vladimir Putin.. That wouldn't be good for either side. Just for the record, I don't vote for the Republicans or the Democrats. Right now I'm not a fan of either party.

 

[doowdniw]

Whether he signs it or not, it's still going to become law. If he does sign it, it will probably be a quiet affair without cameras, a cheering section or him waiving it around like a three year old who just took his first crap without a diaper.

Excuse me? It was voted overwhelmingly in Congress, and everyone but Trump is dancing on the Russians' heads over the election tampering. You don't think Putin isn't aware of that? You think Putin isn't aware that Trump is increasingly being marginalized--and even ignored? You didn't realize that Putin has gone ahead and let the other foot fall on the embassy buildings/staffing issue?

Putin isn't holding off on being pissed at us. Get a grip on that.

What likely pisses Putin the most about the United States is that, yes, he has its president by the balls to lay down for him (with probably far more dirt on Trump than anyone's seen yet), but Trump is so crazy that Putin can't figure out how to make advantageous use of him--other than to keep the United States in wheel-spinning turmoil. That part is working nicely, though. What he probably would like to be able to do, in his old KGB mode, is to use Trump covertly, but Trump is too much of an idiot to manage anything subtle.

If he doesn't sign it, it proves collusion.

If he signs it, it proves the coverup.

Winner winner turkey dinner...

 

[adrina]

That's a ridiculous statement. If he signs it, it would mean putting the interests of America over the interests of himself.

And so far he hasn't signed it.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Can you make a rational/logical argument to bolster your contention?

 

[adrina]

More than you can. But then with your nose so far tucked up 45's posterior, I understand how the reality of my statement eludes you.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

So in short, no. It's pure emotion driven by hate and disappointment.


That's why my post above, a parody of what goes on here every day, reminiscent of 2001 when Bush should be impeached because he was lying about the missing Ws, or they were missing and he punished no one...

 

[adrina]

Denial of own history. Check.
Perception issues. Check.
Convenient conclusion reaffirming both. Check.

Good morning AJ.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

What does any of that have to do with anything?



I mean, if you lack the intelligence to articulate, we understand! We empathize.

We even understand why you stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the #NeverTrump Republicans...

Y'all were hoping to continue the state of statism and the rule of the elites.

CHECK! ✔︎


Almost forgot. Good morning Laurel.

 

[adrina]

Yup. Back to perception issues.

Putin suggests Germans replace nuclear with firewood

01 December 2010
Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin has told German businessmen that they may have to rely on Russian firewood for heating if they do not want to construct new nuclear power plants or bring in Russian gas supplies. At a business conference organized in Berlin by the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Putin recognised that "the German public does not like the nuclear power industry for some reason." He continued: "But I cannot understand what fuel you will take for heating. You do not want gas, you do not develop the nuclear power industry, so you will heat with firewood?" Putin then noted, "You will have to go to Siberia to buy the firewood there," as Europeans "do not even have firewood."

Putin can't understand something? He is a lot like Trump.

 

[Aglaopheme]

He must have finally worked out a deal with his buddy Vlad.

He knows how to get it done.

 

[adrina]

He signed it. Good.

Now let's see how it is enforced.

Germany's Green Energy Fiasco Leads to Dependence on Russian Gas

(Bloomberg) As a direct result of Germany’s climate and green energy policies, it has become Europe’s biggest importer of Russian gas. Germany’s dependence on Russian gas is only going to increase in coming years.

...Not far from the Hanseatic town of Greifswald — an area Merkel represents in parliament — the chancellor wants a $10 billion pipeline expansion built to increase the amount of Russian natural gas imported from Siberia, more than 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) away...“There are not many other places apart from Russia where Germany can get a lot of gas quickly,” said Jonathan Stern, chairman and senior research fellow at the Natural Gas Research Programme of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.

Already Europe’s biggest gas user, Germany gets about 40 percent of what it consumes from Russia, the world’s largest exporter, according to industry consultant Wood Mackenzie Ltd. in London. That dependence is only going to increase by 2025 to more than 50 percent, especially with output from the Netherlands, Germany’s western neighbor, set to drop in coming years.

The Gazprom project, known as Nord Stream 2, also will allow for deliveries elsewhere in Europe, making Germany an even more important hub for distributions across the continent. Russia already supplies more than 20 countries with gas used to run power plants, heat homes and make chemicals...
​

It is a well-documented fact that Russia has been covertly funding Greenpeace for many years.

This is what the Klimate Krazies have done in Europe.

They've raised everybody's energy prices, screwed their economies and haven't reduced greenhouse gas emissions by one iota. The whole thing has been a giant boondoggle.

Where is the evidence of this "election tampering?"

 

[adrina]

Almost, as if on cue...

There's still money to be made in Russia.
