President Joe Biden (D) snapped at a young woman who attended a political rally that he hosted on Sunday at Sarah Lawrence College in New York for gubernatorial candidate Kathy Hochul.
“No more drilling. There is no more drilling,” Biden snapped at a young woman in the crowd. “I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
“There are at least five more years of offshore drilling,” the woman shouted back. “— in the Atlantic or the Pacific but in the Antarctic and off the gulf of New Mexico.”
“That was before I was president,” Biden responded. “We’re trying to work on that and get that done.”
Biden’s remarks come after he said late last week that he was going to be shutting down coal plants across the country amid an energy crisis.
“I was in Massachusetts about a month ago on the site of the largest old coal plant in America. Guess what? It cost them too much money,” Biden said at an event in Carlsbad, California. “No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it, even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant. So it’s going to become a wind generation.”
“And all they’re doing is, it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”
The White House walked back Biden’s remarks after he was blasted by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee.
Former Trump White House senior adviser Stephen Miller responded to Biden’s remarks on Sunday evening by saying, “No oil, no coal, no shale. Pennsylvania: a vote for Fetterman is a vote to send your state into a Great Depression.”
“Biden and Democrats are hostile to oil and gas production. I am running for reelection to keep Texas #1 for oil and gas,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted. “I will protect the good paying jobs in the oil field and keep America energy independent.”
“Um, that’s a consequential gaffe,” meteorologist Ryan Maue tweeted. “I don’t think he was supposed to say that in public.”
“The mask slips,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) tweeted.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) tweeted, “You can’t make it up.”
“Biden still out here messaging to his lunatic base which makes up about 10% of the country,” radio host Jesse Kelly tweeted. “Genius.”
Actor James Woods tweeted, “Diesel is over $7/gallon at my corner service station. #Vote”

That is a very good summary of the situation. IMHO having Biden in there is better than installing someone who might be with it enough to lead the Dems. But, we are getting ahead of ourselves. I have already voted and am hoping for the best tomorrow. Assuming that goes well, then I have a couple of days blocked out to enjoy meltdown videos Then, back to business.
I wasn’t even suggesting an attempt to remove multiple people all at once. I know, Kamala gets to name her successor and on and on. To do nothing in the face of this catastrophe is worse than riding it out.
Good point.

“...blowing enough wind to keep them turning ...”
Even the Dims don’t have that much hot air.
Oil drilling in the Antarctic?
Although that might be a good idea, I think there is a treaty standing in the way of that.
Oil drilling in the Antarctic?..........and the GULF OF NEW MEXICO!...........
These anti-oil protesters are brilliant.
I'm sure their IQs are right up there with Joe Biden's.
Not only the statement itself, but if you actually watch him closely when saying it, it was mighty peculiar.
You mean the votes haven’t been countered yet. You
I wouldn’t be surprised if AOC told Biden he could sniff her hair or cop a feel off her if he voted for The Green New Deal.
Biden needs to learn to code.

But that is the problem: removal via the 25th while Kamala is there leaves us with a far worse situation that could end up with Nancy Pelosi as President and Hillary as VP.
Better to take control of the Congress to override Joe and stymie his agenda while he, Kamala, Nancy & Hillary age like spoiled milk. One by one, they will publicly implode, somehow. It won’t take much with any of them.
Our House chances are great in 2024 and so is our chance at the Executive, as long as the the 3 witches of DC are allowed to be their true selves in public and the Potato Wizard manages to eff up even more than he has already.
Gonna be painful, but not as painful at President Pelosi (ugh).
