rmgill Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 5 hours ago, Stuart Galbraith said: It doesnt elude me. It seemingly eluded Trump, whom thought you could get middle east peace by ignoring them. How well did that work? Not sending them money is a start. How much aid did Biden send to Hamas? $121 million since October. US aid sent to UNRWA which is just a conduit to Hamas. 5 hours ago, Stuart Galbraith said: And that someone at this point can still say that they are not the most important members of the conflict, when they are the ones holding hostages or weekly bombading Israel, Im sorry, I think thats bizarre. Without foreign aid they’d whither and fade to insignificance. 5 hours ago, Stuart Galbraith said: can think of no time in history when a peace deal was concluded without including any of the belligerents. Iran isn’t a belligerent? Did you miss the rocket barrage? 5 hours ago, Stuart Galbraith said: It was just fucking ignorant, and not surprisingly, it didnt work. And dropping it on Biden is not going to work.He was evidently clueless about how to make it work, just like everyone else. Biden is clueless so is Harris. Trump flipped the script with the Abraham accords and Biden screwed that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim the Tank Nut Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Whether Biden or Harris is clueless misses the salient fact that the Democrat machine has leaned pro-Iran since the Obama administration. Jarrett's baleful influence abounds. Iran is an ally of Russia. The current administration is torn in its loyalties. If it ever comes out how closely the Democrats are tied to Chinese influence it'll be a shocking reveal. From Hunter and Joe to Walz it's all there if it can be unearthed and if there is any will to show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmgill Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) For someone so big on flag waving you sure have a hard time seeing the signs of overt and covert support for Iran and the effects that has upon the international stage. I guess if they don’t actually wave a confederate or nazi flag you see nothing. Red banners mean nothing. A Thousand murders, shrug! Billions released to Iran and Hamas, nothing. Naturally after Iran does all manner of bad acts, releasing hundreds of billions is sure to correct their behavior right? Keep shipping wire transfers to Hamas. After Poland was invaded, why didn’t the UK ship Germany a few shiploads of gold? The Abraham accords were a major scotch in the Balance of power in the Persian gulf/ mid east. Biden screwed that up and gave weak signals to Iran. The current state of war is the result. What cause and effect do you actually believe in?

Stuart Galbraith Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I don't see anything going on with Iran but appeasement, and considering how so many of you on this grate site have lately been cheerleaders for appeasing Russia, I genuinely question why it's suddenly only an issue when it comes to the Persians. The Abraham accords failed. Ask a hostage family whether it ensured Israeli security or not. If its not achieving Israeli security, it's a Kabuki theatre signifying nothing but a Presidents vanity. For my part I'm quite happy to concede that Biden is a total fucking idiot. But shoving every problem of the past 4 years on his shoulders ignores that no US President, not even Trump, is as influential as that, and the problems of the middle east go back 2000 years, not 4. Biden failed to fix them, but so did Trump, so did everyone going back to Truman. Where is the difference here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define appeasement. Does it include sending billions to them? Or perhaps Biden allowing a certain amount of invasion? Or Obama’s second term flexibility heard on the hot mic? You chafe at a supposed friendliness on Trump’s part but utterly ignore the Biden/Obama admins. It is very strange. 2 hours ago, Stuart Galbraith said: The Abraham accords failed. Ask a hostage family whether it ensured Israeli security or not. Because of Biden. You realize we have folks in the Biden admin who are very friendly with Iran? You know, the exact fears you pinned on Trump but failed to stick. Edited August 31 by rmgill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be pardoned before a conviction. The reason seems to be that some of his kids would be called to testify and he simply wants to avoid putting his family through all of that.

It would be far more intellectually honest to look at January 2020 gas prices. They were lower than today but the national average just before Covid took off was $2.57 / gallon.

rmgill Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) I’m in Georgia it was below $2.00/ gallon. I have a note book in my grandfather’s car with gas purchases to the 70s that has gas prices in the 80s being sub $2.00. An advantage of living near the colonial pipeline is the low cost of fuel transport to the pump. Edited September 7 by rmgill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was temporarily in CA for a few weeks in 2000, LA area, I remarked to my wife how expensive gas was. I was paying $2.05 for regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure we had some sub $2.00 a gallon around Atlanta. It DOES help that Colonial pipeline has a transfer and storage facility up in Doraville. I'm spitting distance from there so we have a VERY low spot price in the Chamblee/Doraville/Norcross area. 4 hours ago, DKTanker said: I should hope gas prices in the 1980s was sub $2.00 / gallon.

Murph Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Well, we know, he did it to preclude exposing Daddy and the rest of the Biden Crime Family: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/heres-real-reason-why-hunter-biden-shocked-courtroom/ Via RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry: Sources say Hunter threw in towel to avoid trial exposing Biden-China influence peddling, after prosecutors filed “road map” glossary to trial exhibits:”CEFC China Energy””Patrick Ho””Kevin Dong””Mervyn Yan””Ye Jianming””State Energy HK””RosemontSenecaBohai””SinoHawk” Biden Crime Family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski has repeatedly claimed Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s multi-million dollar deals with CEFC. “The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or ‘CEFC’ — a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate, successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House,” Bobulinski previously said. Recall that Tony Bobulinski, a retired lieutenant in the US Navy, was the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. “The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period,” Bobulinski previously said. “It is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the Brand’ being sold by the Biden family.” Rob Walker, another Biden family associate, recounted a time where Joe Biden walked into a meeting with CEFC officials at a Four Seasons. Hunter Biden will get a pardon and documents exposing Joe Biden’s international influence-peddling scheme will be suppressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanhoe Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I've been tempted to get one of these; https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/outdoor-power-equipment/gas-can-spout/7018605 the 2.5gal plastic can I use for my lawnmower has one of those spring things where I must push the nozzle against the tank opening. Its a tiny little tank, and the spring thingie has terrible flow rate regulation, so I spill gas all too often. Its like filling a shot glass from a bucket. Putting more HC into the air.

The best part of that whole affair was when their own witnesses were testifying and saying nothing had been shown to rise to the levels of impeachment.

Murph Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Dream on. The Rs do not use Impeachment as a gotcha, and most of them are spineless enough to not want to have the "Optics" of the thing. The whole Biden family are criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they can't find enough to use it even as that. As such it's just turned into a joke at this point with the Rs as the punchline (as highlighted by their own witnesses mentioned above).
