And still a better President in every way than Trump will ever be.

Cui Bono? Who benefits?
Nord Stream 1 and 2 lessened American influence in Europe, providing cheaper energy from Russia. US and Norwegian energy sales to Europe rose after Nord Stream was destroyed.
The accusation Russia would destroy what they invested millions to build and highly profited from makes zero sense.
It's a shame Pulitzer-award-winning Hersh, famous for unveiling the My Lai massacre and Abu Ghraib prison mistreatment, has discredited himself with too many one-source, pro-Russian stories
Maybe in 30 years some truth will be known....

will be less than a year or two
30 years wtf?

I would be happy to hear that Biden is not running in 2024. He’s made mistakes (especially Afghanistan), he isn’t very polished and he’s just too old to be considered. He also passed a great deal of legislation during his first two years in office, and he’s State of the Nation speech was artfully delivered and embarrassed Republicans (they actually embarrassed themselves). The commentary from Fox News and other conservative media admitted this.
The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were not destroyed. A hole was created in shallow water (300 feet deep) that can be easily repaired.
If the US wanted to truly destroy it, they would have made it impossible to be repaired. Again, the relatively minor damage suggests that Russia did it and that’s what the Europeans believe.

special rules in play
the pipeline construction was financed and payments due..if all of a sudden no gas is sold due to sanctions, well payments must still be made and someone not happy to be losing all this money.
however if something out of the ordinary happen to the operational status of the pipeline its very possible it can be claim as a "Force majeure" - and payments / note can be argued.

originally thought it was russia myself and still possible...they have all the motivation also
there are a couple big BUTs here though and i haven't looked it up or followed it that closely
a lot of information is out there with US and allies over those waters within a month or so of that happening...per news reports
do they have russian ships in the area during the same time?
i don't know this, they would have to have had the same kind of access to that area to pull off an operation at 300 feet down
|
|
the payments, forcing the hand of COLD people....there was big motivation on that side of things
|
|
yes russian ships come through there all the time, it was part of the agreement wwii - they are promised access from the baltic sea through kattegat into the north sea (atlantic).

“If you try anything to raise the cost of sfhrdhehtthbdrg I will veto it”
What a pathetic joke that speech was

From 2018:
Trump Rolls Back Train-Braking Rule Meant to Keep Oil Tankers from Exploding Near Communities
Trains that carry oil and other flammable material won’t have to install electronically controlled brakes that reduce the risk of train derailments and explosions after the reversal by Trump officials of an Obama-era safety rule.
When you elect a moron, you get what you deserve.

Trump Economy > Biden’s “Build Back Broke”
Literally do a side by side comparison 😂
Let the numbers talk not the emotional bullshit democrats champion around
|
|
It is getting increasingly uncomfortable for you to ignore what I write and post your bullshit, Ego. It’s getting embarrassing to be on Team Moron, isn’t it?
At to the morons, I’m not referring to the Democrats.
|

Biden inflation 😉

The constructive jabbing between MA1 and Ego is very entertaining. Please continue your sparring session while I go get some more popcorn popping !

>Hunter Biden laptop
*feints body hook, gets reaction from MA1 and shoots a double leg take down. Scrambling exchange between ego and MA1. Ego transitions to side control holding position. MA1 moves towards the cage to leverage himself to his feet

AltarId why is your entire network dudes? Are you trying to tell us something?

Oh look the king of Virtue signaling showed up
Weren’t you the 🤡 that cried when I posted a CNN clip

MA1 is actually a homie we just go at it. It’s called friendly sparring

@Hey1
I went ~4:1 on pinks in 2022, but you leftists can’t do proper math. Wouldn’t expect you to understand 😂👌🏻

^ sad sack of shit never stays on topic
There's a huge gap between what Washington and its inbred journalists think compared to us regular folks outside the beltway.
"Nielsen reports that 27.3 million Americans tuned in to Mr. Biden last Tuesday. That’s down by 10 million from last year, and the smallest audience for an official State of the Union in 30 years. It’s still large but it underscores an enthusiasm gap for Mr. Biden."
"Washington Post/ABC News poll released this month reports that 62% of Americans say Mr. Biden has accomplished “not very much” or “little or nothing.”
Only days after the poll showing huge skepticism about Mr. Biden’s achievements, a follow-up reported that only 31% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents want Mr. Biden to run again, compared with 58% who want someone else—numbers that have remained roughly steady since September.
Joe has now rigged the primaries by putting South Carolina first, so make no mistake about it. Our current legend-in-his-own-mind transformative used-car salesman is running hard regardless of everybody telling him to step aside, including 3 NYT opinion writers.
Question is, which Dem will step up and run against him?
Meanwhile MA continues to embarrass himself.

That was obviously for HeyMyBloggingSucks

You mixed up to take your meds again, Alter.
You swapped out your limp-dick and brains meds in place your constipation meds, and shit is coming out of your mouth.

LOL at the “Train Braking Rule” article posting. Way to somehow blame trump again, he must be living rent free in libtards head years later.
the libtards are blaming trump for pushing back ECP breaks
This is what experts have to say:
“Association of American Railroads spokeswoman Jessica Kahanek said in an emailed statement that several railroad operators have tested out ECP brakes and found them to have a "significant" failure rate and lengthy repair time that makes them impractical.
When such electronically controlled brakes fail, she said, trains become immovable and it can cause major disruptions. So instead, railroads use locomotives throughout a train to try to distribute a brake signal more quickly among cars, Kahanek said.
In a 2017 report, the National Academy of Sciences said it was unable to "make a conclusive statement about the emergency performance of ECP brakes" compared with other braking systems based on the results of the provided DOT testing and analysis.“
The libtards once again use their favorite tactic, pívot-deflect-blame trump.
LMAO!

No additions since 2021, sounds like Shitcan copes with ED by shilling for Biden
|

Maybe you should read the subtitle again:
"Trains that carry oil and other flammable material won’t have to install electronically controlled brakes that reduce the risk of train derailments and explosions after the reversal by Trump officials of an Obama-era safety rule."
Message to Republicans: regulations are often necessary to protect public health. Allowing corporations to cut corners, especially when it comes to safety, is bad. Simple shit that you need to internalize.
|

Let me narrow it down since libs can’t read
In a 2017 report, the National Academy of Sciences said it was unable to "make a conclusive statement about the emergency performance of ECP brakes" compared with other braking systems based on the results of the provided DOT testing and analysis.“
Pete Buttigieg didn’t even address the spills, pure virtue signaling during NACC this week.
Typical of Deadbeat democrats to address BS instead of reality

The fight was over the cost, not the effectiveness of the braking system.
From the article:
U.S. trains rely on pneumatic braking technology first invented in the 1860s, in which continuous air pressure linked from the front of the train keeps a brake from engaging on wheels on each car. When an engineer applies braking, it can take several seconds for pneumatic pressure to drop to the end of a 100-car train, and trains can be longer.
Electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes still use air pressure, but each car has an individual braking control which receives an electronic signal simultaneously, reducing the danger of derailment when cars slam into the preceding ones before braking themselves.
The seconds’ difference between regular and ECP brakes is where the battle lies for this regulations. The railroad industry claims it would cost more than $3 billion to install necessary ECP on trains used for flammable liquids, while the Federal Railroad Administration under President Barack Obama said it would be about half a billion.
The spill in Ohio alone will likely cost more to clean up than what they could have spent on the brakes.

“When such electronically controlled brakes fail, she said, trains become immovable and it can cause major disruptions. So instead, railroads use locomotives throughout a train to try to distribute a brake signal more quickly among cars, Kahanek said. “
Libs pivot deflect, ignore Biden’s lack of attention to the catastrophe. Woke politics is what comes out of his mouth LOL!
2 years later and trump still lives rent free in libtards head. If these “Trump deregulations” were such an issue for the libtards why didn’t sleepy joe undo them? The woketards need to ask themselves that fundamental question.
Maybe sit on a chair, stair at the wall and slowly ask yourself that question. So maybe your brain can fully process it, perhaps the libs can overcome the cognitive dissonance.
“Why didnt the libs undo these harmful deregulations”
Get a stop watch and make sure it takes you about a minute to fully speak the question to fruition.
That whole minute will account for the lag inside a libtards pea size brain.

Maybe, just maybe, they have their hands full dealing with dozens of other pressing issues.
Maybe you don't understand how this two-party system works. Republican administrations fuck things up by cutting budgets, deregulating everything, and cutting taxes on the rich and corporations, running up the deficit.
When Democrats are in office, they clean up the mess created by Republicans, but there is only so much they can do from a complete train wreck called Trump. That moron fucked up this country for decades to come.
He's also running again, if you haven't noticed.
Be smarter, Ego. You're a friend, but your trolling is annoying.
|

when you SAY that about dealing with OTHER matters...it also causes me to throw up a bit
it's just too funny
i'm typically good with the over reactions...we are all fully understanding of them now, having just lived thru it on a daily basis over the last 6plus years.
try and keep it real though...it's all very fresh in our brains.

Speaking of Trump, that client-lawyer privilege info may be valid, as the Feds tighten their pressure of their boot on the balls of Trump lawyers, due to criminal evidence.
|

Obama cleaned up the Bush mess, Clinton cleaned up the senior Bush mess, and Biden is cleaning up Trump.
Garbage men dumping out Garbage, with fresh new garbage like Gaetz, MTG and DeSantos following the Trump examples.

“Democrats cleaning the republican mess”
Wtf are they cleaning up the country is worse then it’s ever been in years.
Look at all the Biden metrics and run them against trump.
Biden’s “Build Back Broke” isn’t helping when this country keeps on sinking deeper and deeper to the abyss.
What makes you think democrats are doing a good job when everything is fucked.
What signal makes you say, “wow democrats are doing good?”
|
|
Build Back Better is only starting to show benefits now; the money to be spent is only being deployed now with the various projects across the country.
Despite the doom and gloom that Republicans keep on bitching about, the economy is still strong, jobs are just being created in above-expected numbers, the CHIPS and Science Act to increase domestic manufacturing jobs and to prevent China from stealing our technology, caps on pharmaceuticals (especially insulin is a good example), blocking Republicans from cutting Social Security and Medicare which Republicans fully intend to do by holding the Debt Ceiling hostage.
As @ISOS suggested, Democrats can also overreach by spending too much, which is why Republicans then attempt to cut the spending. That is a healthy way of keeping both sides in check. But to hear your (Ego's) side of things, you claim that Republicans only do good and Democrats only do bad.
In actuality, if I had to pick one side to actually run the country well, it is hands down the Democrats, and most reasonable Republicans would agree. I don't even think Republican politicians trust themselves to do anything but bitch and moan about everything. Ask them about their policies and they have none.

talking about REACTING to things
YOU giving biden an excuse of having other things on his plate...knowing exactly what trump went thru as you were jumping up and down with the media on everything you possibly could
maybe the biggest one was why didn't trump act faster on the VIRUS? did he have anything going on at the time? let alone all the DEMS for show at that time(we have clips)? for some reason that's all discounted.
and matter of fact, they all have shit on their plate. BUT we really started tuning in over the last 6 yrs to this.
the GAY dude in transportation? he needs to fucking go and BE derailed. his lil pregnancy vaca was a bit much at a time of national fucking crisis. if he really wanted to be PRES...work thru your shit.
|
|
"YOU giving biden an excuse of having other things on his plate."
Yes, I meant that there are many things that Trump fucked up and it will take time to get to all of them. And there are many things that Trump had no role in that Biden still needs to address.
It's not an excuse, it's an explanation.
|

Fake news you obviously didn’t hear McCarthy’s rebuttal of this absurd claim.
“blocking Republicans from cutting Social Security and Medicare which Republicans fully intend to do by holding the Debt Ceiling hostage. “
Literally fake news lmao!!!!
|
|
You're going to use the term "Fake News" again? Do you really want to be grouped with idiots, Ego?
It isn't fake news. McConnell said it is a Rick Scott plan, not a plan for all Republicans. The sad truth is that McCarthy was going to use Social Security and Medicare cuts in his negotiations with Biden on the Debt Ceiling. By artfully raising the topic during his State of the Union speech, Biden has put Republicans in a corner.
Sunlight kills most things, including the bullshit that politicians want to do beyond the public's back.

Seymour Hersh was interviewed on Democracy Now. It would be worth a listen. Much of it makes sense. Some raises questions.

LOL at using NPR as a reliable source might as well use The View as your source of news

$31 Trillion in debt and going up by $1 Trillion per year
About $100,000 per person
Interest payments on that debt just more than doubled with the rise in rates
Wont be too long before there is no budget for anything else
And Medicare/Social Security run out of funds
This is already baked in the cake, you fucking financial illiterates
@ Reps/Dems giving a shit about anything but staying in power
But, you guys keep bickering about train brakes
|
|
you're too one sided on this...it clouds reasonableness
i can sit back and be ok with biden making some decisions...like the balloon...i'd give BOD when i can...i do that for everyone i think is GAY...i give them a few more chances and will defend them...like an aikman or romo.
the fact that you think trump needs to be in JAIL yesterday, makes it so you can't see what i'm even talking about
yep...no mind he was going thru a bullshit impeachment at the time...BUT the DEMS and MEDIA hammered him on his late response to the virus...NEVER MIND all the lil power dems out there in the news before all that? should we replay the clips?
you can argue the shit all you want...he caught shit for travel ban...you can deflect/argue....he did it and he got called out. biden was no where.
