WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today spoke on the Senate floor in response to yesterday’s Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on President Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thune discussed the revelation that President Biden’s decision to remove troops from Afghanistan on an arbitrary deadline went directly against the advice he received from his top military commanders, and he highlighted the urgent need for members of the administration to be held accountable.
Biden says he didn’t remember them telling him to leave 2,500 troops there. Surprise!
Thanks to all of you who voted in the worst president in our nation’s history.
The village idiot got elected because he wasn’t Trump. But then, many didn’t know he was the village idiot. Stay on the “at least he isn’t Trump argument.” I am sure it will be powerful when people remember Afghanistan and the border was secure, we had economic growth without inflation and energy independence under Trump.
Side note: I am loving the circular firing squad you guys are setting up.
And Trump got elected because he wasn’t a Clinton. Trump will go down in history as the worst president ever to serve. Failed economic policy and trade wars. Failed foreign relations. Failed domestic relations. He failed at pretty much everything he touched while growing the debt, increasing spending, and cutting revenue. He made the rich richer while putting us where we are today with inflation taking hold.
Are you truly as stupid as your post seems to indicate? Inflation is all on Biden, but you are probably too obtuse to connect the dots. President Trump had illegal immigration in hand, but you probably don’t care about illegal immigration. President Trump had the economy coming back under Covid, and now Biden is wreaking havoc with his proposed tax hikes and ham-stringing of America’s energy sector.
I forgot name calling is allowed when it comes from the far-right. Of course, inflation has nothing to do with Trump’s stimuluses. It’s all Biden’s fault. Sure…. Illegal immigration has been increasing since March of 2020 when the pandemic caused so many to migrate. Churches full by Easter! The pandemic will end after the election! Let’s not forget the largest number of illegals residing in this country did not sneak across the southern border, but don’t let those facts get in your way. The economy is better than it was when Trump was in office if we are going by Trump standards, which is the stock market. America’s energy sector is just fine if you quit carrying water for oil companies that are purposely trying to inflate the price of oil. My 8 wells aren’t pumping and I’m being paid a monthly fee just so the oil company can keep a lease on my wells. That is cheaper than it is to sell cheap oil so they will wait for the price to rise even more and keep everything shut off to stifle supply. You didn’t actually think KXL was going to lower gas prices did you? I know you lack the knowledge to discuss oil and gas when you seem to suggest the president can easily raise/lower gas prices. Most economists agree that a president’s effect on anything takes about a year. It hasn’t even been 9 months for Biden and you want to pin 30 years of uncontrolled spending on him. Brilliant!
— My 8 wells aren’t pumping and I’m being paid a monthly fee just so the oil company can keep a lease on my wells. That is cheaper than it is to sell cheap oil so they will wait for the price to rise even more and keep everything shut off to stifle supply.
If your so outraged about how the oil companies operate why don’t you cancel the leases for those 8 wells?
Because you can’t just cancel a contract unless they breech it. When they come up for renewal, they have the first right of refusal. There are ways to get them to go away when renewal comes up but we always have to play by their games since they have so much power and control. I’ve dealt with numerous companies. One actually stole over a million dollars in oil and took it a state over to sell it. When we reported it to the state, they said it wasn’t worth their time. This lease holder did it to many families which is not surprising that the main thief showed up dead in a remote area of montana a couple of years ago.
But you gladly take the money from those “evil” oil companies don’t you? Do you give it all away or do you pocket it?
What? Who called them evil? There are for sure some predators within the industry who pull stunts like we saw. That only exposed how the state is only motivated by $$ and the reason why they weren’t going to pursue the problem. If I point out how oil companies manipulate the supply to increase pricing while continually getting preferential treatment over mineral right’s holders, that means I should forfeit my earnings? The allocation of those dollars is not even pertinent to this conversation. That is just a weak personal attack to deflect my criticisms of their behavior. All I was saying is there are a lot more factors than a president when it comes to domestic supply. OPEC has and always will play the largest role. We can produce more than enough oil today to maintain the needs of the US if we really wanted to and we have been able to for years, but that doesn’t make the most profits for everyone involved in oil. As long as we export and play on the world stage, pricing will be controlled by the largest exporters.
“Are you truly as stupid as your post seems to indicate?”
Yes it is just that stupid.
He sure was a great President. If you think things are better under Biden then you cannot like freedom or autonomy.
The reason President Trump divided the country is because the media attacked him constantly and never did their job to be objective. Obama started the division of the country and senile Joe is finishing the job.
I’m just assuming you don’t have kids, because if you did you would be very concerned about what is happening to the country.
