For posting a summary?  Mkay.
nope for being just a general asshole 24/7

you rarely have anything to offer but ridicule and sarcasm

try being a little more decent to other posters and you might

be surprised at how well you will be received

Most of politics is about optics, not substance.

it would be nice if these optics would help the US instead of hurting it

the border situation has gotten way out of hand which is another example of optics

being very bad for the US

From what I've observed, mostly the people who cite "optics" are the people whose guy didn't win.

optics

the border....

kids were being held in cages before Trump, During Trump, and even now, after Trump

illegals were coming across the border before Trump, during Trump, and after Trump

a few more or a few less possibly.  Perhaps all illegals coming across while Trump was in office the past few months were tested for COVID and those that were positive were turned back.  I doubt it.

this is true, but it is missing context. The Obama administration built the "cages" and had separated children from adults, but only in certain cases. Trump administration applied a "zero tolerance" policy and separated all kids from adults. This policy was short lived and eventually they went back to the Obama administration policy- but it happened. Can't change history. Both policies are seriously f'ed up, Trump's zero tolerance even more so than Obama's.

The US should really stop meddling in the affairs of Central and South America and stop destroying those countries which only leads to mass immigration from those countries into the US. Maybe if we didn't you know, make those countries into shitholes the people there wouldn't be fleeing to come here? What if we actually tried to invest in those countries and help them develop. What an idea!

The governmnents a down there often are criminal enterprises.  I think Belize and Costa Rica are exceptions.

context means lesser of two evils as is the case with politics

at times, depending on their "goals" or want to throw crap on the party on the other side of the aisle, both Dems and Reps build walls or put kids in cages or whatever.

then a while later when the "other" party does the same thing, there's outrage.

and the media somehow ignores the context and the history and jumps on the story to divide the country again and again


it's mind numbing

The US produces 19% of the global oil supply, ten percent of that comes from Federal land.

It will be a small factor in 2-3 years.  Exploration will shift to places like Texas.  Wyoming et al. Will suffer.  This will do zip for climate change.

The Canadian oil will also get refined.  It will be shipped by rail, more costly and dangerous than by pipeline.  Optics, not substance.
Oil is eventually mostly going bye bye. Sooner than later.

GM is only selling electric cars and trucks by 2035, and by 2030 it will be illegal in China- the world's largest autos market- to sell gasoline powered vehicles.
