We’ve all known the type: they always want to pick a fight. Hot tempered, always willing to “settle the score.” this kind gives you that shove with the elbow as you’re walking by just to let you know they’re ready.
Our current President, the Scranton Scrapper, Joe Biden, is like that. If you watched the few time he came out on the campaign trail, you saw the anger flash. Most of the time, we’re not allowed to see that side of him. But it is there.
From the moment he walked into the Oval Office, he’s started one fight or another. The first fight he chose was with the Oil companies. The Oil Patch was doing just fine, production at record highs. And the US was the largest oil producer on the planet. Gasoline prices were low, about $2.40 a gallon, and energy was plentiful.
“Put ’em up!” said the Washington Wrangler, let’s fight. And off he went, fists flying, he went after big oil as no one had done before. He was canceling leases and pipelines, telling all the world that he would do away with fossil fuels.
It’s been quite a fight. I’m not sure who’s winning, but I know that the losers are you and me.
Next, he came upon the signature accomplishment of his predecessor Donald Trump, the southern border wall. “I’ll fight anything that gets in the way of aliens entering this country.” He stopped the wall and opened the border. The battle raged. Thousands, no make that millions came across carrying drugs, guns, and an appetite for crime—another TKO for the Brawler.
Afghanistan was another fight that Biden took on. For decades Afghanistan had been in an uneasy state of quiet. A major military fortification for the US, as this country provided stability to the war-torn region.
Be gone! Came the orders from the nation’s Brawler in Chief. I’ll have none of this. And although he would have to fight most of Washington, Biden ordered the retreat. Thousands were stranded, military bases and equipment abandoned, and the poor people of Afghanistan left to the wolves. But chalk up another victory for the Beltway battler. He’d got his way!
Next came Ukraine. It presented a unique arena to do battle. For Biden, it has been a long-time battle. Lining up on the other side is his old nemesis Vladimir Putin and the Soviet Union, er he means Russian Federation.
But Ukraine is a special place for Battling Biden. It’s almost like home. For years Joe and Hunter have hung out in Kyiv and Odesa. They’re on a first-name basis with most leaders, to say nothing of the Bankers and Brokers. Can you say: Burisma Holdings, anyone?
And what a weapon he chose. To make Russia squirm, Fisticuffs Biden elected to shut off all Russian oil and gas to the US. So what if Americans had to pay $5 a gallon? Putin has a black eye now!
Finally, we come to this week. When Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, elected to fly to Taiwan. A move signaling to the Chinese that this Administration was ready to go to any length to ensure an American Political Junket. To date, there has been no other rationale for her trip other than to gain some travel miles for Nancy.
But no matter, the Pugilist from Pennsylvania Avenue has yet another opportunity to fight. And isn’t that what it’s all about?
Let’s hope he doesn’t get us in one of those big, worldwide fights that come with a roman numeral behind.
He’s not a Pugilist.
He’s and angry, old man suffering from Alzheimer!
Don’t forget the continuing war on women, abortion, US citizens via vax, and supply chain f up.
Perfect comment. Insightful, to the point.

This is as stupid as the democrats that said Geo W Bush was an idiot that couldnt string a cogent sentence together, with the vey next statement being he orchestrated the fix in 2000.
Either Joe’s a meat puppet or not. Cant have it both ways.
So Biden thinks he’s a fighter? Well, since he has never really followed up on any of his good ideas(the few he’s mentioned) all that’s needed now is for someone to once & for all to kick the crap out of him. The best way to accomplish that is to get someone to take his place as CIC & start doing things right. That hopefully would show him up for the phony he really is.

Roundtable discussion of the U.S. provocations with China and Russia under the policy of “containing them.” All participants think the U.S. wants a war and that China has decided there will have to be one and is currently preparing for it.

Commentator: “What an all-star team! THIS is what the internet is for.”
He couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag.....blow hard extraordinaire.......mister tough guy.....and that’s ALL his life. If someone were to take him up on his confrontational attitude he’d slither out of the room.
...all this talk about removing him, “Amendment 25-ing” him, so forth.
HE WON’T GO EASY.
He’ll fuss, and kick, and fight, and scratch, and gouge, and scheme, and holler, and take a BUNCH of folks with him in a giant pissing contest.
I can hardly wait. (Where’s the popcorn bag?)
JILL will fuss, and kick, and fight, and scratch, and gouge, and scheme, and holler, and take a BUNCH of folks with him in a giant pissing contest...................
Any word on what (if anything) Pelousy accomplished in Tawain?
Anything?
A lot like King John of England, Richard 1st brother...................
We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John
Just watch what stocks her hubby buys......................
She’s infected the hotel with body lice and bedbugs.
King John was a liar, a thief, a coward, a backstabber and and a murderer.
There was absolutely nothing ‘good’ about him..
He was forced to sign the Magna Charta only because of the forces allied against him to save his own sorry hide and immediate broke it after leaving Runnymede.................
Fighting on the wrong side. Fighting to lose.
