Where would we be if Trump were president?

[BlindBoo]

Violence began breaking out the very next day.

The violence never really stopped. Except for our soldiers, which I'm not complaining about.

Meanwhile, fighting between the Taliban and the Afghan National Security Forces in several provinces—including Helmand, Kandahar and Uruzgan—since early October has sparked widespread displacement. As at 18 November, OCHA had verified the displacement of more than 28,000 people in those provinces, with 15,236 people displaced in Helmand alone. The US launched a series of airstrikes in response to the Taliban’s offensive on Helmand province that started on 11 October, while claiming that the Taliban’s actions were “not consistent” with the US-Taliban agreement and undermined the peace talks.

Gas is expensive around the world. In many countries is is more expensive than the US.Wake up.

An expected, yet no less stupid, argument.

So, we should be willing to expect the doubling of gas prices under the Alzheimer In Chief because gas is expensive elsewhere?

You're a fuckin' moron...

 

[BlindBoo]

But it was as it gave the Taliban time to move from the mountains, take over territory and make it to Kabul. Had we left on 1 May they would have been nowhere near Kabul yet

Well it certainly aided them in taking over the Provinces as we retreated. Perhaps with less bloodshed. I still think there would have been massive chaos in May, as well as the threat of an ISIS terrorist attack in Kabul.

the oil is still flowing, just thru a different route.

And that route is trains which is much slower and more threatening to the environment than pipelines.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The cancelled pipeline was not pumping a single drop of oil. How did that reduce supply?

It was just one more straw on the camels back. It didn't have to reduce anything. Fuel prices are controlled by the commodities market, and speculators seen the closing of the pipeline as evidence Dementia's threats were real. That's on top of his other actions that increased the price of our gasoline today.

Biden increases oil royalty rate and scales back lease sales on federal lands

The U.S. government will sharply boost royalty rates for companies as federal officials weigh efforts to fight climate change against pressure to bring down high gasoline prices.

Here Are 81 Biden Actions That Drove Gas Prices to Historic Highs

[Big Bend Texas]

The media that suppressed the Hunter Biden story effectively changed the course of America, and not in a good way. What would have been different if the media had been honest?

1) We would still be energy independent, and gas prices would be substantially lower, along with everything else dependent on transportation - like groceries.

2) The illegals would still be in Mexico, and not using limited resources - like baby formula - that Americans need.

3) Inflation would be lower, albeit still raised, since the last “print money” scheme otherwise deceptively called the infrastructure bill would not have happened.

4) We would not have abandoned thousands of Americans to the Taliban.

We would have found a way to either leave Afghanistan with no losses or done the smart thing and left a large enough residual force to keep the ANA in the fight.

We would probably be on his fifth impeachment for nothing.

We would not be talking about or financing a war in Ukraine.

There would be no protesters harassing the families of Supreme Court Justices.

We'd probably have exponentially more violence on the part of BLM/ANTIFA with at least tacit if not open support by democrats.

We wouldn't be looking at a massive red wave in November.

 

[Independentthinker]

Lastamender posted it and you're right about dissatisfaction being that high. But that same graph shows you're wrong about it being, "hard to imagine a Trump timeline being as bad as the one we are currently in," given it shows satisfaction was lower under Trump than it is now.

They were dissatisfied with Trump's personality and calling people names, etc. If you could choose the prices we paid two years ago to the prices we are paying today, which would you choose?

 

[maybelooking]

we would still be locked down and the left would be fear mongering as usual.

its what they do.

Gas is expensive around the world. In many countries is is more expensive than the US.Wake up.

Ya, it is 220 cad per 100L in BC, Canada, but almost over 100 cads are carbon taxes and other forms of CC taxes. The high oil price because the Western worlds kill their own energy independence. Just look at the EU now, they start willing to buy Russian oil in the ruble. It is like a crackhead willing to suck dxxk for cocaine. If Trump had still been in WH, OPEC would not have gone crazy on the oil prices. Maybe we are looking at around 2.5 to 2.75 per in the US.

Bad move asking a leftist that question. Meanie Tweets are at the top of their list of national priorities.

A friend of mine that recently passed away made a comment about gas prices when she was filling up her car a few months ago. Some leftist customer using the same pump told her she didn't care if gasoline was $10.00 a gallon, as long as Trump wasn't President.

When you have people using the same criteria to pick representatives that they used to choose their favorite American Idol contestant, your country is in trouble. That's why I have been saying for the past couple of years we need all voting in person and everybody must take a very simple multiple choice test in order to vote. If you fail the test, you can't vote until the next election.

If we could do that Republicans would celebrate. Liberals on the other hand would fight it tooth and nail because they heavily depend on the politically ignorant to get or maintain power.

 

[Moonglow]

I make my own decisions. But that’s an unreal comments from someone so brainwashed they still think Biden was the better option.

Not nearly as crazy as the fantasy that Trump was good

Fortunately, over 80% of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction and inflation is at the very top of their list. Yes, there will always be nutcases like her.

 

[NoNukes]

The point is we are not other countries, or at least we were not. Democrats want us to be a third world country.

You are an idiot.

America's dissatisfaction was over Sedition Day. Don't fool yourself. Americans were dissatisfied with America, not because we had an asshole for a president.

And I would choose the prices today over two years ago because the price of gas dropped 2 years ago because some 22 million people lost their jobs during the pandemic. Exactly how heartless are you that you want cheap gas at the expense of 22 million people being unemployed??

You think it's "fortunate" 80% think America is headed in the wrong direction?? Why do you hate America so much, you want Americans to suffer for your benefit??
