    And we LET them. And gave them tax breaks for doing it. Just think of the shit storm that would happen if Taiwan Semiconductor blew up. It would be a disaster of biblical proportions. There's no backup production capable of taking even quarter of their production, yet they keep on getting half the world's semiconductor business.

    Wow, we are still importing oil from Russia. Just Wow.

    Two years ago we imported none. one reason that our dollar is weaker.

    Availability of oil is a complicated matter.
    We use Russian oil due to our infrastructure limitations, Hurricane Ida, and the shut off of oil from Venezuela and Iran.
    In addition it's cheaper than shipping by pipeline or shipping it from the gulf coast, and Russian oil has a high sulfur content preferred by our outdated refineries.

    He done pretty good in his SOTU address. And when he did mumble and blunder, the attention was shifted to Nutty Nancy and Kamila.

    Domestic production, not complicated.

    So easy that even the guy you want to promote as a bumbling fool had it figured out.

    We were energy independent, even exporting excess, in the previous administration.

    It was calculated that we had a five hundred year reserve of petroleum, even if consumption continued to increase at the rate it had been (which of course it would actually decrease as other forms of energy harvesting would supplant it).

    But we want to make it complicated because we actually get a kick out of seeing people of lesser means suffer.

    Joe Biden has had one year to repair the damage done by four years of Donald Trump.

    Rebuild the middle class.
    Unite all Americans.
    Earn the respect of the world.
    Listen to science.
    Defeat the Covid virus.
    Reform healthcare.
    Save the climate.


    He has made progress in all these areas; just because he still has a long way to go doesn't mean he's failed. And now he's dealing with an unstable dictator in Putin who could lead us into WW III. So you believe the solution is to replace Biden with yet another unstable dictator in Trump?!

    Biden seems to have done a pretty good job restoring NATO's integrity. It seems to be completely united in its opposition to Russian aggression.

    Made progress!
    You must define progress as regressing.

    Rebuild the middle class.
    More wealth in the wealthier and more poverty = progress on rebuilding the middle class. Gotcha. And now that everything costs more... progress!

    Unite all Americans.
    The people with long term vision denouncing his inflationary policies and his carefree border control - progress uniting.

    Earn the respect of the world.
    The laughingstock of Russia, north Korea, Mexico, and China, and most everyone else in the world, but there's gotta be someone somewhere who respects the country due to this guy, maybe Turdeau. Not that it's evident. Progress!

    Listen to science.
    Taking the word of one group of scientists as gospel, and denouncing any contradictory evidence as heretical and moving to silence them - that's really listening to "the" science. Progress!

    Defeat the Covid virus.
    Hang in there until it plays out, that's really showing it who's boss!

    Reform healthcare.
    Thank God there's no kind of THAT progress to make things worse. Other than Let's Go, Big Pharma!

    Save the climate.
    What is happening here... Halt our own drilling and piping so it can happen elsewhere in the world instead, so we're beholden - progress! Run up the price of heating and transportation as a result so those on the low income spectrum have a harder time yet making ends meet. That's showing that climate! Want to "fix" that by raising the minimum wage which in turn makes things more expensive yet and prices workers out of the workforce. Brilliant progress! Top of the world!

    With this kind of progress we might as well invite Vladimir to come take over peacefully so we can avoid the bloodshed of the fight.

    Domestic production is down due to the low prices oil demanded in the Obama era as he lifted the restrictions on selling our oil to foreign countries. As a response OPEC continued to pump more and more oil to lower the price per barrel. OPEC can absorb the lower prices, the U.S. can not.
    The result was the U.S. market fell and investors stopped supplying money. Production fell as a result.
    OPEC and Russia then limited their production to raise the prices again.
    The U.S. started to again enter the market...but then COVID struck restricting demand and prices fell again.
    The U.S. again limited production.

    Now the Russians have invaded Ukraine causing the world oil market to panic, raising prices.
    COVID is petering out, the job market is way up, and world wide markets are rebounding all causing an increased demand for oil.

    Meanwhile shale producers decreased production ~ 2, the number of new wells decreased this month even though there are viable legal oil fields ~ 3, oil companies are making record profits ~ 4, BP and Shell pulled out of Russia, and Biden is resisting the call of many Congress members, both Democrats and Republicans, for a ban on Russian oil imports which will further raise prices.

    Complicated.

    Where the hell do you get your statistics from, other than the dark recesses of your mind? Oh I know, QAnon!

    Biden got the world to agree to an international minimum corporate income tax, invested $160 billion to fight COVID, is providing health insurance coverage for 97% of all Americans, gave $39 billion for child care, extended a 15 percent increase in SNAP, gave $40 billion to students and colleges, $21.6 billion for emergency housing assistance, and $7.1 billion for WiFi, etc, etc.

    Americans are united against Russia and support of NATO, got acclaim from both sides on supporting police, and he got an ovation from both parties in his State of the union Address.

    75% of foreign countries have faith in Biden vs 17% for Trump.
    Science. You'll have to explain this one.

    ...and so on...

    Don't bother arguing with republican dogma. It's like shooting pool with a rope.
