yeah I probably should have added 'almost' in there. But maybe the better question is how much of Biden's scorched-earth crap in undoable.
He is banning drilling for oil in a couple areas to F the average citizen at the gas pump.
I guarantee if that leads to higher gas prices In June, demoncrats will blame Trump and not the slow down on drilling for fossil fuels.
In the end, demoncrats hate the average citizen.
So, the left/legacy media is emerging with a narrative that Trump is going to use the military to pursue an expansionist agenda. Of course, he's never said any such thing, just that he isn't ruling out anything when reporters ask stupid questions. Getting Greenland, for example, would be big for many reasons. Many aren't even aware that Truman, a Demoncrat, tried to buy it when he was prez. Ran across this and thought it was interesting. Hey buddy, want to become a millionaire?
Dang if I had known we’d be changing the name of gom and conquering Canada and Greenland I woulda def been on board.
I’m glad. I get so many good laughs from the dumfuks and their conspiracy theories.
gulf of america…i still say redskins and cleveland indians, a big f that for me.
CA fire....demoncrat disaster. They have run the state for decades and for environmental reasons they will not properly control dry brush in the outer areas near cities and they impacted water flow from the north to the LA basin leaving the reservoirs dry and no water in the fire hydrants for the fire yesterday.
But hey they have DEI gay Mayor and Fire Chief....gotta check those boxes.

We're going to invade Canada with the MN National Guard and rambo warrior Mike Walz is going to lead his ragtag troops across the border. He carried "weapons of war in battle" dontcha know.
Does that mean that the Battle of New Orleans song lyrics have to be changed?
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of A-mer-i-ca
just stop already…this is some clown shyt ^^^ you’re dropping off…or don’t stop and keep looking like a fool.
wanna rag on multimillionaires, fine…but being a punk b about loss of life and belongings isn’t the way to go.
WTF are you talking about? I am complaining this BS fire is blamed on $18M cut from the LA budget for the fire dept, not maintaining water supplies which led to no water for fire trucks. You are the fool.
Environmental policies by the morons in Sac town help create these huge CA fires. Nobody is celebrating this BS except for the arsonists setting fires all over LA.
One of my favorite guys on X is James Woods, he watched his neighborhood burn to the ground. He has no clue if his house is still there. Even he pointed out the stuff I mentioned got us to this BS moment.
I have also had a huge fire in my city that burned down like 200 homes thanks to an arsonist. My then girlfriend had her neighborhood burned to the ground missing her house by a miracle....so you should shut up.
I also have friends near these LA fires, so this is not a laughing matter.

We have a big water problem out here in the west. It is time for the USG to have a water works program building desalination plants in WA. OR and CA with pipelines to get water to ranches, farms and big cities.
Hopefully Trump working Musk can get this done.
Also the Forestry Service needs more fire jumpers and aircraft for the entire year. Right now many of them are stood down in the "off season. Fires do not stop in the winter.
The canals in LA should not be empty of water and homes for homeless or making movies race scenes.

I'd like this except I can't even joke about conquering Canada. Can we keep at least one sizeable land mass alone to be a mostly unmolested, unamericanized wilderness to go fishing in?
Screw Canada but I'm on board with Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Palisades Fire: Sarah Michelle Gellar leads stars blasting LA mayor as gridlock cripples evacuations
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jillian Michaels criticized Los Angeles officials' leadership after fires raged throughout Los Angeles, forcing mandatory evacuations.
Liberal leadership at its finest.
It's sad to see CA slammed by fires year after year. They are, after all one of the few states that actually makes much effort on the environmental front.
More proof that God doesn't exist, or doesn't give a F.
Or, is it just proof that God gives us freewill to make choices and many of California's are a shit show, literally?
You want to justify things by assigning "goodness" because it falls under this nebulous umbrella of "the environmental front." The problem is how you define that. Here's an article (it's got some age to it, but the thinking still applies) that shows that Cali doesn't let nature take it's course. Rather, they define "environmental" efforts to suit. Here's a startling fact from the article:
"Academics believe that between 4.4 million and 11.8 million acres burned each year in prehistoric California. Between 1982 and 1998, California’s agency land managers burned, on average, about 30,000 acres a year. Between 1999 and 2017, that number dropped to an annual 13,000 acres."

Since then, the amount, or actually lack, of burns have only diminished.

And, just so you don't think the linked article is some right wing nut stuff, here's one from the NYT if you can get behind the paywall. But the headline is likely enough to make the point.

One of the prettiest states in the country being destroyed by unchecked lib policies. California has always had a water shortage. It has only been exacerbated by the increase in population and poor planning over the last few decades. Reaction to every fire season versus proactive planning.
Demoncrats don't want desalination plants to solve the entire problem. Carlsbad has desalination plant to get off relying on others for water. I doubt their fire department will have a water problem with wildfires. I believe it was the San Diego water commission behind their plant aka a lot of Republicans in the San Diego area.
I'm on board with the canal, but I'd like to see some cost/benefit on Greenland. So far it seems to be one of those 'just because we can' sort of deals. I don't care much for those, and I don't want to see my(our) money spent on some individual's whim.
It's like getting high-speed rail across the country just because China has it. I don't care what China has, show me that we NEED it or that it will be worth the investment. DJT likes to share his thoughts; if I'm going to support him he needs to share his thoughts on such subjects as Greenland.
Greenland is extremely abundant in much needed minerals and natural resources.
and there you go. A liberal has no answer for environmental concerns turning into disaster, so let's make this a God subject instead. Maybe the mindless will follow your red herring, but I'd rather stay on the topic at hand.
Just TBH, I'm all for the environmental protections. What I'm not for is the overburdening of the fresh water supply that's allowing the fires to go uncontrolled. Maybe give us your thoughts on that. Or should we talk about Jesus.
thank you, that's exactly what I've been wondering about. I haven't seen one bit of info regarding this (until now), but then I haven't really looked. Are we planning on melting the glaciers so we can get to them?
Oh there won't be any glaciers in a couple of years...
They are a huge resource of things that we need and are apparently getting from China. There is also just the basic strategic aspects of its location. We already have a sizeable space base there.
The irony I is see on Twitter today is the hamas crowd is celebrating LA burn especially James Woods' house, yet most of the people in LA that lost houses support the hamas scum. Yes they are that stupid that the people behind sending US tax dollars to gaza and the terrorists during biden and obama regimes lost their ritzy homes in LA.
