Citizens of Philip, SD not Biden fans

The citizens of Philip, South Dakota are on the record today on Fox News expressing their extreme dislike for the president and his policies that killed the Keystone XL pipeline:

“Biden and his administration ran on Build Back Better, and, that is, from where I’m standing, a load of crap,” West Central Electric Cooperative CEO Jeff Birkeland told Fox News. “I think his new slogan should be ‘butchering booming business.'”

  1. We have Russia attacking 44 million innocent civilians and threatening nuclear war. So, naturally, FoxNews spends their time sniping at OUR American leadership. All day. Every day.

    I tried watching The Five yesterday. Lead by the snide Judge Jeanine, they all sounded like snotty high school brats. In this case, throwing insults at VP Harris.

    Then there is Tucker and his Putin-loving friend, Tulsi Gabbard. What the hell is that?

    How times have changed. I cheered when FoxNews was founded. But now, these political sycophants just add to my concern for America’s future. The world’s future.

    1. Residents of Phillip SD spend their very boring lives watching FOX. There are many open leased lands that the oil companies can drill but don’t.

      1. sure they can drill it. but they need the infrastructure to move it around once they get it out of the ground. The safest way to move it is via new pipelines. The less safer ways to move it are with old pipelines, trucks and trains.

        1. Our pipelines aren’t even at capacity. I know because our families wells use it. This is nothing more than corporate greed. Speculation drives up prices even as oil dropped.

    1. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan but he is still better than Trump and that’s a pretty low bar.

  2. The Biden administration energy policy reads like a war on America. Unbelievable. His AOC adoration on energy policy will be his biggest downfall, and that’s saying a lot

    1. I don’t agree with Biden on a lot of issues. This is one of them. But let’s keep our eyes on the big picture. The slaughter of thousands, displacement of millions and nuclear threats – compared to gas prices? Really not a hard call there.

      United we stand. Or…

      1. And like everything else you speak of you ignore the facts or just make up your own. How did we get to this point? As a direct result of no leadership from the White House starting in January 2021.

        1. Huh? “Ignore the facts”?

          No, it’s true, anonymous… there really is a war in Ukraine. You really need to keep up.

          1. Wow! your reading comprehension is really top notch. I never said there wasn’t a war. My point was the lack of leadership that got us to this point, i.e. war in Ukraine.

            1. Guess who? Who said it?

              “I think one of the reasons Putin did not move during Trump’s term in office was he saw the president’s hostility in NATO. It was widely reported in American media, and to Putin’s mind, it’s a binary proposition, a weaker NATO is a stronger Russia.”

              Answer: Trump’s own NSA chief, John Bolton.

              1. Who was the president for over a year before the Russians moved into Ukraine. Oh…that would be Mumblin Stubmlin Joe. Who was it that was bragging about how “we knew Russia was going to invade as soon as they started massing their military on the Ukraine border six months ago.” But yet didn’t do anything to address the situation until AFTER the Russian tanks started moving. Let’s see who would that be….Oh ya, mumblin stumblin Joe.

                And I would point out that you would rather go back to Trump did this and said that and not address my point about who is CURRENTLY in the leadership position to have stopped this mess. But again you don’t, you deflect.

            2. I’m sure you believe your dear leader 45 would have kept his buddy Putin out of Ukraine. Actually, had the disgraced former POTUS been re-elected. Putin would have just waited for 45 to further destabilize NATO and he’d have driven a tank in himself.

              1. Exactly. Trump would have knee-capped NATO and made this entire situation worse. The GOP have already started beating the war drums.

              2. Please DFP minion tell us all exactly how President Trump was destabilizing NATO. Be specific and don’t use the usual lame libtard reasons such as…..well, well, he was sending out mean tweets!

                1. He literally was – not just an expert on the subject – but Trump’s expert.

                  So, ask John Bolton what Trump was trying to do to NATO. Or just read what he’s been saying.

                  1. Oh boy……again as you do with your COVID claims, you can’t provide anything.

                2. So give the “DFP minion” stuff a rest. Your dear leader 45 wanted the USA out of NATO. He wanted his buddy Putin’s Russia back in the G7. He embarrassed his own security advisors by sticking up for Putin in Helsinki. He stalled delivery of Javelins to Ukraine, only allowed them to go after Congress busted him. He increased oil purchases from Russia. And even as recently as this week, as demonstrated on Hannity, he still can’t criticize Putin. But you do you.

  3. Renewable fuels, drilling, fracking, electric vehicles and higher mpg automobile standards. They all help reduce foreign energy dependence, don’t they? Neither party is blameless.

    We need to be increasing supply AND reducing demand.

    1. Elk, I thought we all died of Covid because of Sturgis. Twice.

      How can we need more energy if we’re already dead?

  4. Former national security adviser John Bolton told The Washington Post Friday that he thinks former president Donald Trump would have pulled the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization had he been reelected in 2020. (WashPost 3/4/2022)

    Why would Putin get in his way?

    If Trump’s right hand man telling you that Trump wanted to dump NATO isn’t proof enough, you won’t be convinced.

    As for Covid – the New York Times is the only place that I am aware of that compiles all of this information. You could find it too but you won’t believe any source that doesn’t echo your views. And before you claim that the NYT is biased on this – please explain how they show SD with low numbers right now and at other times?

    But here’s a thought… why not try providing proof of your own for a change. Demanding more and more proof is easy. Demonstrating that YOU actually know what you are talking about… that’s hard…. and in your case – impossible.

  6. “If Trump’s right hand man telling you that Trump wanted to dump NATO isn’t proof enough, you won’t be convinced.”
    –Well I guess if we are going to use what those who are close said, how about this one: Barack Obama, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.” Now there’s a real indictment. As far as links go, Mr. Powers won’t let me post multiple links in a post but suffice to say that if you do a simple search a whole page with multiple links will appear, even to Politico and Huffington Post, and Bloomberg with this story. But here’s one for you:

    https://www.businessinsider.com/obama-privately-voiced-concerns-joe-biden-could-f-things-up-2020-8

    See how easy that was?

    “And before you claim that the NYT is biased on this – please explain how they show SD with low numbers right now and at other times?” Funny, that’s not what you claim, regularly.

    1. What does Obama have to do with it? Maybe you should try to stick to the topic at hand.

      As for SD covid numbers – you do know that they fluctuate, right? Is that news to you?

      1. As for your quote, Obama supposedly said this about Biden’s ability to win the 2020 election. It might even be true.

        But I am not a Biden fan. You say that I am but… again… you are wrong.

    1. This is your “proof”… of something? One opinion column from The Federalist? I gave you the words of Trump’s own NSA chief and you present this?

      I give you real covid figures and you offer juvenile demands for more proof. Do you even believe you?

      1. And I gave you the words of Joey’s former boss stating that he has a great ability to screw things up.
