    Have you been paying attention to what the US have been doing in this front over the last 4 years?
    Sure. Not 100% good, but better than the other one that created so much mess in ME.
    Thats pretty interesting, given that after the failed american coup attempt two years ago you were claiming to not care about Venezuela.

    "Maximum attention" now though, right?

    Because Biden doesn't believe in it.

    If he did, he'd crack on with it and wouldn't be hiding behind the 'parliamentarian' malarkey.

    Cute hoorism.

    You know this not to be true, you understand how politics worse, why would you push this, what angle does this have?

    Do you honestly believe that Biden doesn't want the minimum wage in place, and that he wouldn't have enacted it if it were passed?

    Battles must be picked, and this can be returned to again, the purity of those on the left is by far their biggest weakness, leading to their consistent inability to get things done.

    That's some impressive detective work. Have you considered offering your services to Trump with regards to the election? :pac:

    The. Second. Article. Emphasises. That. Trump. Caused. The. Food. And. Medicine. Shortages.

    Moderator asked to prove food shortage in Venezuela (and the emigration caused by it ) was caused by foreign (USA) interference. Article is there. You disagree that 4 million people didn't left? Fell free to post the links here.

    You disagree that the food shortages was caused or at least augmented by USA interference? Feel free to post links here.

    I don't think it matters, you've landed into the unique space of someone who won't back down both because they were wrong and can't admit and because they have to prove to a moderator that they were posting in good faith.

    Three times now, you've ignored my argument. I can only assume you're either incapable of understanding the points I made or you are deliberately choosing to ignore them. Either way, I'll leave you at it.

    Ignoring what? You said Obama left in january 2017. USA started to create the mess in 2014. End of story.

    On this, French Guiana isn't a french colony but actually part of the french state. Longest internal flight in the world is from Paris to Cayenne

    But that’s all they ever did?
    Scream irrelevant catchphrases and conspiracy theories.
    No substance.
    No engagement.
    No answers.

    Republican strategy, to be used by holders of all elected offices, supporters, media outlets etc.

    Step 1: 'Accuse others of that which you are guilty'
    Step 2: Let's undo something liberals have introduced or block them trying to introduce anything progressive.
    Step 3: Go back to Step 1.

    Countries aren't even meeting pledges it's nothing more than a meeting to make the world think they're doing something.

    President Biden laying off lots of had working Americans during a pandemic in the oil and energy fields for this farce of an agreement.


    Sky News (@SkyNews) Tweeted:
    A UN report has found that global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions 'fall far short of what is required' and that nations must 'step up' to fulfil pledges made under the Paris agreement https://t.co/80Apaq5uCv https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1365415124564135940?s=20

    No it isn't. You are quite adept at showing you that you don't have a clue what you are talking about aren't you? The targets set are goals, no country is being forced to meet these goals. Countries have been missing their goals since the agreement was first signed years ago so perhaps have a quick google about it next time before getting angry about it.

    But, of course, you're not actually angry about it. You don't even care about the Paris Agreement, the only thing you care about is that Biden is for it and Trump is against it. If it was the opposite you would be all for the Agreement. It is unbelievable how much of a clapping seal you are.

    You.. you think Biden is laying off people in these fields.... for the sake of this agreement? Is that a serious comment? You don't think he might be doing it because of, you know, climate change?

    The US look likely to start large scale infrastructural work, so that will create plenty of jobs. Propping up dying industries that are wrecking the environment will cause generations of damage.

    I would view the Paris accord as a stepping stone more than anything and a recognition that multilateral action is required to combat climate change. Having the democrats in there is far more beneficial than the republican party who are largely anti science and a large proportion of their politicians don't even recognize the existence of climate change.

    By the way, you never replied when a poster asked you if you favour Trump's policy of separating parents from their children...

    So as the current agreement falls short, you agree that the USA should cut back on oil even more? (which will lead to more had working americans being laid off).

    You can't both say that the agreement doesn't go far enough while also saying that it goes too far. Decide on one (or is this another one where you can't decide if it's good or bad that the government removes you from your family members?).

    So, what should be done? Pull out of the Climate Agreement and try to re-ignite the coal mining trade in America? Was that a plan to help the climate?

    Even conservatives know action is needed. Marjorie Taylor Greene put a sign outside her representative office this past week telling people to 'trust the science', so we finally should start to see a consensus within political parties to do so.
    I mean, why would she say that if she didn't mean it and given that she is one of the most conservative conservatives in congress, having her jump her frame of mind forward 50 years to catch up with the rest of us it really is a positive sign.

    Isn't it?

    This is a blatant lie, which you know it is, and I think at this point you should edit your post to reflect that.

    All jobs affected by the cancelling of the pipeline were in the construction of it and about 90% of the 11,000 suggested being lost had not even started working yet.

    It's the same group parroting the same talking points that also claim Biden is doing too much and too little at the same time - consistency nor honesty matter a jot to them. They don't care, they just pretend to - as we also saw with the ve ezueka example earlier.

    A whole bunch of boys crying wolf.

    I think this is the trumpets great fear, post pandemic there will be massive infrastructural investment generating lots of jobs and boosting the economy, and the GOP are powerless to stop it, they will of course worry about the debt as instead of it going into rich people's pockets it will be spent on capital assets.

    Watch the howling from dave as they make available funds to stop using cages while also dave being happy that families are being separated from each other and giving out about the biden administration stopping that practice.

    President Biden is going to have to implement more stern approach to his southern border this can't go on.
    His softer approach is leading to a sharp increase in numbers.

    As of Friday, more than 900 children were waiting in Border Patrol stations to be transferred to a shelter, according to a person familiar with the number, with 100 of them waiting longer than the 72-hour limit permitted by law.


    WASHINGTON—The number of unaccompanied immigrant children arrested for crossing the U.S. southern border illegally is on pace to rise more than 50% in February compared with the previous month, people familiar with the matter said, raising the prospect of a humanitarian crisis there.

    About 2,200 children have been illegally crossing the border weekly in February, and the pace is picking up as the month progresses, some of the people said. The government is projecting that about 9,000 children will be taken into custody by the end of February.

    From April to June 2018, Trump's family separation policy resulted in 4,368 children being separated from their parents, and that policy had no measures to reunite them.

    Despite this being a Biden thread and a warning in the first post that Trump talk is for the trump threads by moderators this is their go to defense.
