Joe Manchin:

"You cannot be the superpower of the world if you have to depend on other nations to produce your energy.

And I’m just in a different place than my caucus or the colleagues or the president and they have a hard time coming to grips that you’ve got to use everything you’ve got. You’ve got to use your gas, you’ve got to use your coal, you’ve got to use your oil, and you have to develop wind and solar and hydro and geothermal and hydrogen.

All of these things I’m for. But I’m not going to leave us in a void, Larry, I’m just not going to basically go down that path and end up like Germany did, trying to get something — rid of something that you don’t think you like because you think something else will replace it. And then, when you get to that time period, it doesn’t replace it, so you’re in one heck of a mess.”

Joe Manchin by the way sat on the Republican side of the aisle during the State of the Union address. He was the only democrat to sit with the Republicans.

I'm not "Brave"; You're Just a P---y.
On courage. And on the DMs that I am sent that seek to justify cowardice, at a time when some bravery is needed from us all.

Dr Naomi Wolf

Some people who love me advised me not to write this essay, and not to use its current title. “Take the high road,” I was advised.

Usually that is a good idea, but not in this case — not at this moment. In this essay I need to talk about some people — mainly privileged people, people who could make a difference in areas where most can’t — who are trying to justify their monumental, world-changing cowardice, at a time when we all need to be at least somewhat brave.

I am done with tolerating this quietly.

NBC asks Kamala Harris if Biden will sanction Russia's oil and gas industry.

Her reply at link

got it ?

^^ Would it have been too much for her to say "we're reviewing our options on an ongoing basis"?

Drunken monkey. That was a lot of words to say nothing

Harris responds: "As it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we're doing"

Naturally, and we need to do those things that we are doing, every day. Its time, after all, to do those do do things, and we're doing them. Every day. Every. Fucking. Day.

I've gotten to where I look forward to hearing what this imbecile has to say.

Don't defund the police, Kamala. You quote them too often:

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

She is an imbecile. We overuse the term idiot but in her case it’s justified. She learned a long time ago that this servile press corps allows her to speak in nonsense. She knows that they won’t ask the obvious followup question. In fact she mentions the strategic oil reserve like it could have any impact whatsoever in this situation. Does she get called on it? Nope.

SUPERCUT!

That’s no cross, that’s a smudge.
Joe tried to wipe it away just as he is trying to wipe away America.

And No Jill, we are not so much better today.

Yes, because that would be an intelligent, reasoned, response. Given this woman's total lack of intellect and ability, we get the word soup BS response she gave.

(Sigh.) Roll on 2024.

The White House is actively discussing sending Vice President Harris to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, in the coming days to show solidarity with Ukraine as it faces an escalating Russian invasion, sources familiar with the conversations tell The Hill.

The discussions involve sending Harris to visit troops stationed in Romania and potentially to the border with Ukraine, where a refugee crisis has seen more than 1 million people flee that country since the Russian attack.

The trip could happen in the coming weeks, one source said, adding that there is no active dialogue about sending President Biden to the region.

“A presidential visit is a heavier logistical lift,” the source said. “The vice president has a smaller footprint and is historically more nimble.”

The vice president's office declined to comment on Harris's travel plans. But a White House official said Harris has been “deeply involved in the administration's engagement with allies and partners.”

Kamala Harris explaining the war to the American people:

"So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that’s wrong.”

I heard this excuse earlier. Horse pucky. Biden is too fragile to travel and takes too long to recharge after he exerts himself.

Bet your ass if Trump was president he would be standing at a Polish/Ukraine checkpoint in a bomber jacked, a Make America Great Again hat, and holding a huge pair of bino's staring across the border.

There’s always hope that if they send heels up, she’ll get lost and run over by a Russian tank.

"Historically more nimble".
Willy Brown can confirm that!
Geezus...

I don’t wish evil on people generally, but it would cause me ZERO loss of sleep if Cameltoe Whorris caught a stray round on live TV. I might even have the audacity to smile and thank random chance.

no kidding.

and contrast that to the endless grief the media gave Sarah Palin anytime she spoke anything that wasn't worthy of a nobel laureate.

Dan Quayle is another good example. His main 'sin' the media latched onto was how to spell 'potatoe' at a 6-grade spelling bee.
