    No, this is where you were supposed to list a ton of policy against the left that Tanden supports. WTF?

    Who cares if it drives itself when only the rich are traveling? No one else can move around...this is okay with you?

    okay, so we're now just barely shy of a month in and we've got:

    -100k americans without jobs(but that's okay, they were sacrificed to make oil more expensive and even less environmentally friendly to transport, and even more prone to transport failures)

    -power grid sold off to china(Still waiting on how selling us up the river to a hostile foreign power is a good thing from you people)

    -Vast majority of approved aid going overseas(love to see those missiles labeled gender studies.) when americans are struggling.

    -massive storm in texas(any disaster that occurs is always the president's fault, unless it's a democrat's ass in the chair for some reason.)

    -insulin prices spiked UP(for three months until biden can claim credit and his little cultists WILL bleat that lie out until they think the masses believe them)

    Not what was said.
    "Drive" was specific.
    If 95% of cars in LA are self-driving, even those privately owned, and driving them yourself ups your insurance premiums by 1000%, people will travel. They just won't drive.

    BREAKING: The White House says President Joe Biden has declared a major disaster in Texas, asking federal agencies to identify additional resources to address the suffering there. https://t.co/M8netBO6kQ
    https://twitter.com/AP_Politics/stat...825224192?s=19

    Wait? Texas is a red state, are you not suppose to ignore them? Shouldn't Biden tell the it's their fault for not being prepared.

    Our last great President would have done this if it was a blue state.

    Anyways its the basic of what the federal government does in cases of emergency.
    Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

    Good, now we can invest in create just in renewable energy. Great move from Biden

    -power grid sold off to china(Still waiting on how selling us up the river to a hostile foreign power is a good thing from you people)
    What?

    -Vast majority of approved aid going overseas(love to see those missiles labeled gender studies.) when americans are struggling.
    Actual literal what?

    -massive storm in texas(any disaster that occurs is always the president's fault, unless it's a democrat's ass in the chair for some reason.)
    Wow, if only we had been warning of climate change for decades and the need to weatherize infrastructure everywhere.

    Good thing Biden is doing everything he can to help the affected states. Well, almost, he hasn't thrown any paper towels at anyone yet.

    -insulin prices spiked UP(for three months until biden can claim credit and his little cultists WILL bleat that lie out until they think the masses believe them)

    Thanks Trump and the GOP for deregulating prices as much as they could.


    Do you have any more pathetic and nonsensical whinging or are you done for now, and have to wait for whatever bottom of the dumpster rag you get your talking points from to come up with more BS?

    You mean the pipeline that spilled 20+ times, cost millions in damage, ran through protected land, and wasn't needed?

    Source?

    Well this is just stupid.

    -insulin prices spiked UP(for three months until biden can claim credit and his little cultists WILL bleat that lie out until they think the masses believe them)
    Yes, that happened due to them looking into it and postponing it, but tell me why did those companies spike the price? They could have left it cheap, they still would have been making money.

    Almost every one of these posts can be summarized "mostly nonsense that has been exaggerated by infinite cycles in the Fox News propaganda feedback loop."

    Trump's America lost 140k jobs in December. Biden's gained 50k, despite the crying - mostly exaggerated lies - about pipeline job loss.

    The next four years are going to be a hilarious return to tan suit scandals, as we all can see.

    Sorry, you were saying? Something about blaming Biden for Texas' unpreparedness and intentionally getting off the federal grid? That sounds disingenuous to me.

    By the way, about the "China bought the power grid" bit? That is objectively false.

    1) Trump didn't sign an EO blocking China (and he didn't even say "China") until May 2020. Therefore, being angry at Biden for one month means you should be angry at Trump for 40. Which you didn't do. That's disingenuous.

    2) Biden didn't even remove that EO. He suspended it for 90 days for review.

    3) You didn't name a single piece of the power grid sold to China. I don't think you can name one. You're welcome to try, but um, good luck. You'd have to find a power of the power grid sold between now and when Biden suspended the EO, which is less than a month of time, by China.

    kasuke06 posted something that was objectively false. Fellow reasonable posters: you know you need to do.

    The irony being that China would probably do a better job of running the electrical grid than bodies like ERCOT or PG&E, lol.

    For the record, I get the idea of blocking foreign influence in infrastructure. Whether I'm for or against it would depend on the details. Hence the 90 day review. Biden might keep part of it, we don't know.

    By contrast, claiming that the power grid was sold off to China in the last month is objectively false. And we all know what happens to objectively false posts here. You know what to do.
