[quote author=budaatum post=105383482][/quote]Factcheckers also told us
Joe Biden won 81m votes
COVID-19 was definitely not a lab leak
Russia stole 2016 elections

Why should I believe that crap of an article.

Taliban is a show off group. If they had a person hoisting a flag off a helicopter they would have made it official like the way they are showing off guns, helicopters and humvees.
Those are two people. Only talking about one .
They look bound to me.
Taliban are not showing off their misdeeds like shooting a woman dead because she could not cook for them.

To protect Joe Biden fockup, Facebook Instagram deleted a Goldstar mom's account this week. A mother to one of the thirteen marines.

LordReed:
I dunno how the article you cited relates to my question. My reading of your answer is Saudi used economic pressure via OPEC to force the US to increase it's imports?
Saudi production cost of oil is very low, the oil minister is in a video talking about 5 dollars per barrel. They need oil prices at least 50 dollars per barrel within a stated output per day to sustain the govt and its overly generous state subsidies eg education, funding wahabbism worldwide reverse osmosis plants, electric power etc.

Fracking is expensive, dig wells, pour chemicals then pump the oil out of always. Unlike simply digging a perpetual well once and pumping it out.

Increasing world supply decreases oil prices, making fracking more difficult to invest in. But frackers were able to cut production costs to 29 dollars a barrel eg by horizontal drilling making them competitive in oil prices above 50$ per barrel. Cutting production costs means being more efficient and more production.

LordReed:
Mr Economics Expert tell me why oil imports from Saudi grew in the period Trump was president.
Saudi does not want shale oil. To make it uncompetitive Saudi plus some OPEC flooded the market with oil.

LordReed:
How was the US energy independent in Trump's era when oil imports from SA grew?

I am juxtaposing the history because you are not giving any cogent reason for me to think oil is no longer a major reason for US interests in the Middle East in general and Saudi Arabia in particular.
Looks like you are challenged economically.You don't order 200k litres of oil ,wait to sell it and order more. You hedge a price , do a contract say annual.
US was a net energy exporter.Was exporting more than importing.
In other words if all contracts (impex )were cancelled then it would not need any import of oil and gas.
Middle East needs to be stable because of oil.Shortage of ME oil sends oil prices up all over the world. The development of shale oil in US has helped oil consuming economies stabilise their forex reserves by way of lowered oil prices.

Vice news who are taliban sympathisers ( at times) getting embedded with them came up with the story to debunk the video.

Media has perfected the art of changing any story and having millions believe them even when the evidence is in plain sight. Do you still not believe Trump was wearing diapers?

Talibans are set to get financial aid according to Jake Sullivan.The civilians are suffering for lack of drugs, food, inflation . Problems that the Taliban could address. Afterall Afghan has a lot of minerals including lithium in copious quantities.
What a week that has been. US forces killed a whole family that had received visas in their house.Most likely acting on tips from Taliban. Pelosi would be impeaching Trump by now over this.
Taliban committing lots of atrocities. They marched holding coffins draped in UK and American flags.
Another angle of the new Taliban invention - helicopter throat hanging.
A pregnant American woman kicked in the stomach ( I never believe such stories at first) and refused access to the airport. Ibime, Did you see this on Daily Mail? She could be lying for all I know these people.
Talking about Lying. Ibime, daily mail proves Joe Biden is a liar. For a good cause that is selfish , he requested afghan president to lie about Taliban advance.
Ibime Dailymail is the gold standard.

Rubbish. Nowhere does Daily Mail say they have confirmed Joe Biden as the big guy. They put in quotation marks "report says" while quoting Fox News

So Daily Mail did not confirm anything, only reporting that Fox News speculated it's Joe Biden.

Nothing of their own investigation revealed such and by British standards of journalism, they cannot speculate without proof. This is not Yankee where we do anyhow anyhow

When you read a report. Always try to read them with an open mind so you can easily draw an unbiased conclusion.
Read the headline. It says it all. If you want to verify, Hunter Biden partner provided collaboration via copied in emails.
Its a long story for you 'biden corruption deniers' , who will not believe daily mail because its not flattering to Joe Biden.

Y'all that doesn't count can choke on that. What are you guys going to do to help the GQP Party of Hate and Bigotry you love. I guess nothing you can do to assist them in Umudike.

Yes, now to the part about the bribe
A simple google search. A laptop holds more data than a page of dailymail can hold ,so that info about Joe Biden bribe of 10% would appear in another headline another day .

Basilico, I am still waiting for where you saw Biden 10% bribe he was collecting from Hunter Bidens deals. We both read the same story in Daily Mail but I wonder whether you were off your medication and made that part up. Still waiting.

Have some decorum please the Unite the Rightand quote credible sources.
No former Intelligence chief, who led intelligence that got Zarqawi killed. That told Obama he was arming hardcore jihadis.
That was framed by FBI to plea deal, DoJ withdraw the case but the judge refused to stop the case leading to a Trump pardon.
Innocent man framed, by scumbags in cahoots with Obama himself.

You conveniently left out how Trump sold arms to Sausi Arabia. No problem.

Do we need to remind you that Saudi Arabia is often a secondary source of funds and support for terror movements who can find more motivated and ideologically invested benefactors, Saudi Arabia arguably remains the most prolific sponsor of international Islamist terrorism, allegedly supporting groups as disparate as the Afghanistan Taliban, Al Qaeda, Lashkare Taiba and the Al-Nusra Front.

Anyway. You should thank Biden for selling these aircrafts to Nigerian military.

https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-paid-500m-for-new-tucano-jets-u-s
In Al Jazeera’s latest Head to Head episode, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn confirms to Mehdi Hasan that not only had he studied the DIA memo predicting the West’s backing of an Islamic State in Syria when it came across his desk in 2012, but even asserts that the White House’s sponsoring of radical jihadists (that would emerge as ISIL and Nusra) against the Syrian regime was “a willful decision.

Amazingly, Flynn actually took issue with the way interviewer Mehdi Hasan posed the question, Flynn seemed to want to make it clear that the policies that led to the rise of ISIL were not merely the result of ignorance or looking the other way, but the result of conscious decision making:


Trump sold Saudi arms because it was business. When the US could not sell arms to Saudi Reagan asked Thatcher to do it.

Saudi exports the extreme version of Sunni islam ie Wahabbism. Saudi n Iran or rather Sunni n Shia are eternal rivals.They can come together against a common enemy, then resume their rivalry once done. Saudi is the only ME nation capable of halting Irans ambitions, besides bring top oil exporter.Iran has a kill switch on when the Mahdi will return supposedly during Khamenei's time. Their theocracy regime is of zealots who would be the first mist likely nutcases to launch a nuclear bomb if they had one.
Makes sense aligning with Saudis with open eyes though.

A college professor antifa member


A former East Bay college philosophy professor who was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack at a Berkeley protest last year, court records reveal.

Eric Clanton had been linked by police to violent assaults with a metal bike lock during a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017. Before his arrest, Clanton had been “outed” online, on the website 4chan, as someone who used a bike lock to strike a man in the head. The assault was captured in a video clip (below) that drew widespread attention and anger after it was posted on YouTube.


Compare this to the Proud Boy who burnt an antifa flag and had carried some loaded magazines to DC. Jailed for 5 months.

Lame excuse. It only became "reliable" to you because it has a negative story about Biden.
It was a "leftie heaven" when negative stories of our lord and savior was published on it.

Yeah if it's proven that Hunter took cuts - by all means prosecute him. It doesn't change the fact how Daily Mail is all of a sudden "reliable" to you now when it wasn't the case in the past.
How can it be proven while no investigation is going on or was launched.

I'm ashamed of some of the comments I read here.

This is an American thread and everyone has a right to drop their opinion even if it will not change the situation in reality. What I don't understand is why some of you will be angry about the opinions of others because they don't mirror yours and then turn to shame them because they found themselves in Nigeria by birth. It is a real shame.

Intelligent folks would allow people to support whoever they want to support and let them make their opinions instead of demonizing them for not saying same thing as them and the worst of them all is the insult on Nigeria and the citizens because these people have a different view from yours.

If you don't support someone's view, then don't read their comments instead of throwing insults up and down and calling them names, broke shaming them or insulting Nigeria.

Prideoflincoln1, Salford, Ibime and co I'm referring to you. Show a greater level of intelligence by using a greater argument or ignore completely, but let this thread be what it was created for, which is to talk about American politics and the Biden presidency.
