Barry Obama liked to talk about “From Day One.” It reminded me of the Amazon Prime take on The Man in the High Castle. The NWO in Nazi-Controlled America was Day One. And, not-so-strange coincidence, Joe Biden’s been a train wreck from Day One.
But like any good Democrat (They Destroy Everything They Touch), he’s always prepared to “use every tool at his disposal” to achieve some correction that could have been avoided if almost anyone else were president.
Resignation is not, apparently, one of the tools in Joe’s box, but only because Kamal would be exponentially worse than Joe, and that’s the trap in which we’re stuck.
Take Oil prices. Now that Russia is warring with Ukraine, we’ll probably have to stop funding Putin’s war machine and no more buying Kremlin Oil, at least for the duration. But worry not, Biden has promised to use every tool at his disposal to limit price hikes (on oil and gas).
As a reminder, laughing out loud might be a sign of treason, and this may not be the most disingenuous thing a president has been asked to read as if he believes it, but it’s close.
Biden went to war on the US economy and oil and gas in one breath by taking most of the tools that kept oil and gas prices low by banning as much domestic production as he has. If he were serious, he’s have already undone those deeds, but that’s not happening.
He can’t. The activist Tsars and Tsarinas who make his policies (the disposable tools) can’t fathom the possibility, no matter how much it costs YOU!
That hockey stick will only worsen, and Biden’s solution is to ask OPEC to increase production, which they are not required to do, and he can’t blame them.
But he can look weaker, and he will.
