The Adults in the Room, Part II

[OldJourno]

It seems like a thread with this title or one similar to it surfaced about the time Joe Malarkey was sworn in. There will be no more bad tweets, various posters agreed, just solemn government with wise decisions.
Lol.
So what have we got?
Well, let's see.
A gas shortage in the Southeast, plus a pipeline project killed by President Malarkey his first day in office and an end to federal oil and gas leases. This from a country that was an energy exporter under Trump.
Way higher gas prices. (See above)
A cunt undersecretary of cuntishness who said at a media event this pipeline thing wouldn't be a problem if everyone drove much more expensive electric cars. (Seriously, this elitist cunt in the Malarkey administration actually said that.)
The pipeline company actually paying ransomware! What the fuck? I mean seriously, what the fuck?
The Malarkey administration announcing early on that the pipeline company's problem was a private matter between it and the ransomware hackers. Just wait until you check your account balance one day and find out it's all zeroes, just like every other account in the big, big financial institution you bank with.
Inflation headed for double digits for the current year.
High unemployment in combination with a high number of employers crying for people to apply for jobs????? (The progressives have to be in charge for something like that to happen!)
Total chaos on the southern border, but don't call it a crisis (even if Democrats in office there do)!
Mayhem and missiles flying in the Middle East where, months ago, Israel was signing treaties with a number of Arab states?
But don't worry. Orange Man Still Bad.

None of that shit would have happened or been tolerated under Orange Man. Oh, and right now our Special Operations Command would be tracking that ransom and looking for those hackers.

yaaaaaay, unabashed sexism for the win! Lucky for you, you have a grandson instead of a granddaughter to imprint that handsome quality onto!

What happened to The Adults in the Room, Part I? Prolly should link that one here so people can get up to speed with the sequel, yey?

Lol.

Ya, no.

US intelligence agencies are spending time and my tax dollars to find and arrest insurrectionists. They should be able to focus their attention on foreign threats.

What happened to The Adults in the Room, Part I?

You probably showed up, fell asleep, but kept waking up screaming that Orange Man was out in the driveway on horseback, wearing a pillow case, and carrying a torch and a rope. We'd go out and find Kim Foxx, and Jessie Smolette, snickering in the bushes. The adults left.

Hey I don't claim to be a writer of amateur erotica. I'm just a guy with a higher batting average who knows how "you" play the game.

An just what did Y'all THINK was going to Happen?

"higher batting average?"

Okay, Casey At Bat, dial it down a notch, cuz swinging at wiffleballs and still missing them does not make you Babe Ruth!

The traitor in chief's Covid lies have resulted in unnecessary death and the prolonged economic crisis.

The traitor in chief's Middle East policy blunders have resulted in the current Israeli Palestinian crisis.

The traitor in chief's tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations exacerbated social and economic disparities.

The traitor in chief's racist policies sowed division and hate.

The traitor in chief's coddling of Russia and Putin emboldened their hacking efforts, resulting in the Solarwinds attack and the recent Colonial pipeline attack.

President Biden and Vice President Harris, along with the democratically controlled house and senate, have a lot of adulting to do, to clean up the traitor in chief and the GOP's mess.

Here are a few examples of their progress.

Today's jobless claims were the lowest in 14 months, the stock market rose 400 points, Covid deaths in the US hit a ten month low, the Colonial pipeline is back in operation, and President Biden announced that new CDC guidelines allow vaccinated people to go maskless indoors. President Biden's stimulus checks have also made their way into people's pockets, mitigating some of the pain caused by the traitor in chief's failed presidency.

America is on the move again.

Thanks President Biden, Vice President Harris, the democratically controlled congress, and all non-deplorable Americans.

Poor klanguide

It's not a shortage, it's an issue with transport that was the entirely predictable result of allowing a near-monopoly on the services Colonial Pipeline provides. And the project Biden killed had nothing to do with what's happened this week.

 

[Champakian]

The Middle East has not erupted due to anything Trump did,
but because they know what Biden won't do...






It was calm and quiet under Trump.

And Syria is as fictional as Narnia, is it?

 

[Champakian]

So, you cannot coherently refute the point that no one was attacking Israel...

The Palestinians were outraged by the traitor in chief's handling of the Israeli Palestinian situation.

The traitor in chief recognized Jerusalem as the official Capitol of Israel and moved the US embassy there.

The traitor in chief also supported Israel's annexation of parts of the West Bank.

The current Israeli Palestinian escalation in attacks is just another crisis the traitor in chief helped create.

Move the goalposts much?

Having worked in the falling-down, rabbit warren of a U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv, I have to say I'm glad they got it moved anywhere else. I don't really mind if it was Jerusalem. A country should be able to determine where its own capital is where representatives of other countries should show up, and the Israelis do control part of Jerusalem. The part of the Jerusalem that the Arabs hold is certainly treated by them as a symbolic center of their life.

While it may be true that Israel can choose to declare Jerusalem its official capital, the traitor in chief's decision to move the US embassy there was provocative, as was the traitor in chief's support for Israeli's annexation of parts of the West Bank. The main point being that the traitor in chief, in concert with Netenyahu, exacerbated the tensions between Israel and the Palestinians, which directly led to the current escalation in bloodshed between the two sides.

Attempts to lay the increase in hostilities at President Biden's feet are laughable.

 

[OldJourno]

I sure could go for a mean tweet and $2.09 gas right now.

The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem opened in 2018. Attempts to lay the increase in hostilities, which started this past week, at former president Trump's feet are more than laughable, they are pathetic.

OldUrinal must not understand how the traitor in chief's provocative acts like moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, cutting $200,000,000 in aid to the Palestinians, and supporting Israel's annexation of parts of the West Bank led to an increase in tensions that finally boiled over.

This current violence can all be laid at the feet of the traitor in chief, Jared Kushner, and Netenyahu.

An unholy trinity.

I suspect it is only a matter of days before we impose sanctions on Israel.

And when the aid to the Palestinians is renewed the missiles fly? Is that what you are suggesting? Our funds paid for the missiles?
Or are you suggesting the missiles are flying because Biden is weak?
