Approvals are up on fracking on federal lands, seems like you are mistaken again.

The Dakota Access line is pumping more oil than ever.

The Keystone pipeline is not germane, you seem to think that you can always put a pipeline anywhere you want, especially when those lands are owned by and protected by a treaty signed many decades ago.

Seems like your statement is wrong on fraking and oil.

Trump never even bothered to fill Cabinet posts during his presidency, where was your outrage then.

At least President Biden took the time to hire people to fill those cabinet positions.

conix, You about used up all the GOP talking points there. Again, it is repetitive stuff coming from you. Yep,
it's a real gish gallop of unsupported assertion, and typical troll certainty where no certainty validly exists.

conix, Your Keystone and energy prices stands out as a total falsity. It was dealt with by others. I'll just throw in an easy fact check:

Biden not to blame for rising diesel (or gas) prices

If Your Time is short

* Gas and diesel prices have steadily risen in recent months, but it's not related to any presidential policies.

* Prices dropped as demand dropped amid the pandemic shutdown. But with the COVID-19 picture improving and people moving around more, increased demand is pushing prices up as well.

* Oil producers will need time to ramp up production to pre-pandemic levels after throttling output throughout 2020.

"Energy prices going up from his Keystone Pipeline cancellation and public land fracking ban."

conix, The border you one-eyed ideologues see as a Trump success and a Biden failure. In fact, you are flipping that situation too. See, for the third time:

conix, conix, President Trump Reduced Legal Immigration. He Did Not Reduce Illegal Immigration

"Border chaos. Not even constructing the already paid for $120 Million worth of wall panels. Stopping the asylum seeker wait in Mexico."

After 2 Years, Trump Tax Cuts Have Failed To Deliver On GOP's Promises

Two years ago Friday, Republicans in Congress passed a sweeping tax cut. It was supposed to be a gift-
wrapped present to taxpayers and the economy. But in hindsight, it looks more like a costly lump of coal.

McConnell is doing his best to stop Biden from addressing that.

No more gish gallop posts from you, eh.

It's enjoyable waking up each day in America, President Biden's leadership in getting 80 percent of America has proven to be the correct way of restoring the American economy. The American worker is the real winner in this pandemic, with jobs in abundance, his wages and benefits are increasing, and he is free to to decide a better employment decision.

Trump’s Temper Was Reportedly So Terrifying and Volatile That Aides Would Hide From Him

By Jason Miciak
October 17, 2021

We truly underestimated Stephanie Grisham.

But it’s completely understandable. This is the press secretary who refused to hold a press conference on camera. (Turns out it is because she refused to stand up and tell lies in front of reporters). And when we read of her book “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” we believed it would be stuffed with more entertaining anecdotes but nothing really “new.”

We were wrong. Grisham offered a far more in-depth look inside the White House than we’d seen in other tell-alls, especially with respect to the early COVID days. She also dissected the dysfunctionality better than other biographies from former staffers.

In her latest interview in People magazine, she describes an environment in the White House, where Trump’s explosive temper made it such that grown adults would literally hide from Trump and – secretly – hope that his anger would find a new target soon enough, allowing the person to start over:

I never saw him lose his temper with Mrs. Trump. Then when I got to the West Wing, I saw him do it to others and it was really jarring. I remember being struck by how people just took it — a national security adviser or a secretary of state or a cabinet member … I never saw anyone push back.

The first time he did it to me was on Air Force One and it was so fast. Picture a DJ board where you can just push the volume all the way up. It’s that swift, how loud he gets.

The formula me and my colleagues took was: we would take it, and then just stay out of his line of sight for the next day or two. And then sadly, we would kind of hope he would turn his eye on someone else. I think that that’s where some of the real backstabbing, dog-eat-dog culture came from. You were so desperate not to be on his bad side, that you would let anybody else be on his bad side.

In every White House, there are competent people, look at Fiona Hill and Lt. Col. Vindman as examples, but in such an environment, dog eat dog, where they hope he gets mad at someone else type of thing? It is doomed to fail and one doesn’t need a business degree in management to know it and see it coming from the beginning.
