Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

This is incredible, but also exactly what we said was actually happening.

“Does it bother you that these cuts ruined people’s lives?”
“No, it was more important to cut the budget deficit”
“Did you actually reduce the deficit?”
“No”

“What makes you think you can determine what research is useful without experience in the area?”
“You dont need formal training and traditional experience if you are well read”
“Ok, so you read books that informed your decision. What books specifically”
“I didnt read any”

It’s not really directly US politics though related, and I hope you will forgive me, but I think this is something to follow closely in the coming months and I also think this is something most people will miss given the drama of war and insanity.

So when does the US start bombing?

That’s seems to be the modus operandi, negotiations then bombs

I think this stupid bitch is nearing the point of getting her very own thread.

" First lady Melania Trump on Thursday delivered some wildly over-the-top praise to an unexpected person: herself.

With husband President Donald Trump looking on at a Women’s History Month event at the White House, the first lady declared herself to be a “visionary” who is “often alone at the top.”

“In solitude, my creative mind dances, filling my imagination with originality,” she said, then listed all of her roles: “mother, humanitarian, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.”

The Jim Cramer is a moron bit is admitedly old, but has anyone any idea what he thinks he even means here?

What possible positive analogy to some supposed success in Vietnam could he be referring to? We should embroil ourselves in a needless war that the nation came to despite and in turn inspire a decade of some of of our best loved films?

The story from Vietnam side is that the US tried to bomb North Vietnam into submission to gain some leverage in the negotiation. They did a 12-day carpet bombing campaign with similar intensity to the 1945 bombing of Japan and Nixon even considered the nuclear option.

I guess that is the context he meant. Not sure if he remembered the results (civilian casualties, Geneva accord in Jan 1973, etc.).

Meanwhile, democracy dying at home…

A very good listen.

Nobody warned them

So the US are drawing down on their oil reserves. They are gifting that to oil companies to sell. The oil companies shall then refill the SPR at a time of their choosing.

Nothing to see here.
