Biden: 3 pipelines, 3 disasters
American Thinker.com ^ | January 22, 2022 | Barry Shaw

What is it with the confused Biden and pipelines?

Disaster 1. One day one of his presidencies he signed an Executive Order closing down the Keystone pipeline, throwing thousands of Americans out of work.

Thereby, American went from being energy independent to the president begging OPEC to increase production which they refused. Result? What's the cost of filling up your vehicles, America?

Disaster 2. No sooner had he closed down Keystone than he met Putin, fell in love, and lifted the Trump sanctions on the Russian NordStream pipeline across the Baltic Sea to Europe, making Russian considerably wealthier.

Disaster 3. If Biden was concerned that Europe should be well stocked with natural gas and wants to pressure Russia, why is he now against the supply of Israeli natural gas to Europe via the EastMed Pipeline, with its triple treaty between Israel, Greece and Cyprus?

Flip flop Biden was for it. Now he's against it, and three countries as well as Europe, are angry with the American President.

If Biden's excuse is the environment lobby, why were they not concerned about the Russian pipeline, or a potential Turkish one. Or the Egyptian pipeline. Or the Israel-Jordan pipeline. Or all the American pipelines and refineries throughout the Middle East.

Need I go on?

Israel, Greece and Cyprus should press on. The strategic value of this connection to Europe is significantly greater than Biden's bumbling policies.

The US should not have any say in what happens in Europe.

It is a bit crazy that the US is anything more than an advisor to EU energy policies.

If the EU wants gas from Russia or Israel, that is THEIR choice.

The US should not have veto power.

We certainly would not allow the EU to block our buying oil from Mexico.

Biden is Obama's 3rd Term.Once again Putin is going to bend Obama over and ream him a new A hole.

As to domestic pipelines. All bad.

As to Orange Man? All bad.

As to White People? All bad.

As to state voting systems? All bad.

As to Border patrol and ICE officers? All bad.

As to Florida? All bad.

As to Texas? All bad.

Get my drift?

Biden lives in a stark world of black and white, there is no compromise. In ohter words he is an idiot.And it is the reason why he could not get his Build Back Bitter Lefty Pork Bill passed.

Joe is a failure, a sacrificial lamb for Obama's 3rd term ideology.Obama's bet is that he can destroy America before he can rebuild America like Venezuela and blame Biden the white man's fool.Meanwhile Obama gets off without any accountability. Slick eh?

Pipe Lines? They are just a symptom of the elctoral malaise that the cheating Dems have brought as a curse to America and the larger world.

And it will bring war and suffering to America.

Watch as Putin leads the Dem in a merry go round chase that will end up with a mass rectal rape of every visible Dem idiot in the Biden Administration, including the proxy idiots over at Dept. of State like Blinken.

All of thise Russuan vehicles and armour lined up by the thousands in a vast military parking lot, better than shooting range targets , and Biden and Blinken have not even mentioned the notion of pre-emptive strike?The US Air Force could destroy the Russian Army in an hour.( Say "THIS ONES FOR CRIMEA" three times real fast.)

But Putin knows Obama is too weak to play his game of hardball.

Watch the reaming begin.

America wept.

The only alternative possibility other than the election was stolen, is that we as a country really are that stupid.

Brandon will usher in a dystopian future that looks like San Francisco on steroids, only over the whole country, complete with homeless drug addicts, feces and heroin needles everywhere.

The productive people left will be blamed, shamed and taxed, until the hyperinflation hits, after which private property rights will be eliminated, and the dreams of Cloward and Piven will have come true and the socialist teachings of the Frankfurt School of critical theory will have replaced the free market theory critical thinking we have now.

I am not sure we can even turn this around if we wanted to at this point. What politician can get elected by turning off the government spigot of stimulus spending and free money for people to stay at home and drink beer and watch TV with the excuse of a pandemic?

Keystone pipeline was bad for America.

It was bringing cheap Canadian crude down to Gulf refineries for refinement Which would then compete with American oil on the market.

The pipeline was owned by Trans Canada, not even an American company.

As for the jobs lost, oil and gas companies ave record employment right now and are begging for workers.

2022 is going to be a record year for US gas companies for production

The question is why were we allowing our US oil companies to compete with cheap Canadian crude

No one, no one in the conservative media will talk about it.

A man gets 12 million more votes than the last time and loses?

He wins all but one of the bellwether counties and loses?

He wins Ohio, FL, Iowa etc and loses?

He’s ahead everywhere by midnight, then loses when there’s a dump of votes for the opponent?

Ballots only have the presidential voting, no down ticket voting.

Come on. The election was stolen, which means they’ve done this before.

This is a free society, you can’t keep things this big quiet. People will talk.

The FBI and other agencies involved?

How does Karl Rove explain the loss?

Huh? How about the fact that it helped the US consumer?

Yeah, and the Alaska pipeline was bad too.

Oh, and not drilling further in Alaska was bad too.

And of course any fracking is bad too.

Like cheap chinese goods are good for the US consumer? We know how that turned out.

Trump allowed oil co’s to ramp up production and we were paying 2.00-2.20 a gallon for gas during his Presidency.

Again, tell me why allowing another foreign co’s product into our country competing with our own producers good for America??

This is a flat out lie. And the author’s conclusion is based on his lie.
