Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

I’ve met Bessent several times. I don’t agree with him on everything, but I like him.

Well that is consistent. I suppose the MAGA bunch are consistent as well because they want oligarchy everywhere.

No one’s denying that, but those who support one side because they don’t support the other are the problem.

I’ve got friends who share stuff like the text I posted recently, who tie themselves in knots trying to justify the Russian invasion because they don’t like the US, and there are, no doubt, others who support the clearly corrupt and fascist US regime because they don’t like Putin.

Both are wrong.

If there is any semblance of thought (you have to hope so or he may just launch nukes when his cheeseburger is running late), it’s performative theatre - see I’m ‘tough on both sides’ to ‘create peace’. Sadly deplorable idiots and the likes of @toro will probably lap it up

No Sir. You did all that on your own.

How about ditching the USD and trading in own currencies ?

Would that be a way of bringing the US to heel ?

I looked on r/datahoarder but no one there seems to have archived it.

That said, this should give you some hope in other areas:

Are they really a “‘one-time’ price adjustment”?

[After the way he has been gobbing off it a surprise that is all he got.
Likewise with people who don’t kowtow to Trump being threatened,this has the potential to destroy the US reputation as a democracy,not that Trump sees it that way,if it suits him and his “mates”doubt he cares at all. post:5611, topic:3851"]

It’s par for the course for him.
