I wonder if a whataboutism is a confession.Do you apply that saying to your ilk?Ever hear the saying “ every accusation is a confession “?

They expand everything, gas, nuclear, everything.And yet China is expanding their coal burning.Bullshit. China has gas from Russia, thanks to Biden blowing up Nord Stream, russian gas is free to flow to China.
In China's coal country, full steam ahead with new power plants despite climate pledges
Just tells you that it US aggression against Europe.It's a stupid move, esp. in light of Russian aggression in Europe.And now Biden cuts gas to Europe even more, nothing personal, just needs to win in November.
It was not whataboutism. I was merely asking if you were consistent with that moronic statement.I wonder if a whataboutism is a confession.
Of course it was a whataboutism. In essence you asked “What about your ilk”?It was not whataboutism. I was merely asking if you were consistent with that moronic statement.I wonder if a whataboutism is a confession.
I notice you do this shit a lot. Instead of engaging in discussing anything of substance, you derail with irrelevancies.Of course it was a whataboutism. In essence you asked “What about your ilk”?
You mean like your last 3 post?I notice you do this shit a lot. Instead of engaging in discussing anything of substance, you derail with irrelevancies.Of course it was a whataboutism. In essence you asked “What about your ilk”?
Do you have anything remotely on topic to contribute?
All in response to your stupid one.You mean like your last 3 post?
No one forces these responses from you.All in response to your stupid one.You mean like your last 3 post?
Been there, done that. Do you, besides ragging about “leftists” and Biden?Derec said:Again, do you have anything at all to contribute?
1.This election is all about preventing Trump. Now, I’ll agree that changes if Trump somehow becomes ineligible, the situation changes. But what we’re looking at then most likely is Nikki Haley and whoever the Dems run.Why? It would not be the first time. Remember the B3 monstrosity than only Manchin and Sinema saved us from?I’m not understanding why Derek believes that Biden is ‘susceptible to manipulation’ by anybody.
Him being older than dirt is precisely why he is susceptible - he is not the man he was even 5-6 years ago. And remember that half of the 2020 policy task forces were lousy with Sandernistas.Biden is, as we all know, older than dirt with a very long and very successful career in politics.
Joint Biden-Sanders task forces unveil progressive platform after months of negotiations
Sigh. Not everything is about Trump.The closest I think we could come to accurately saying he can be manipulated is that I don’t believe he would have run in this current race were it not for Donald Trump running.
Funny, I still hold out hope for you despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Hound, talking with you is fruitless.
This thread is not about the election. It's in the main forum. It's about policy, to wit the pause on new LNG exports.1.This election is all about preventing Trump.

Him wanting to pass a slightly watered down Bernie spending plan says otherwise.2. Biden is really really smart. And he’s extremely experienced and has surrounded himself with a lot of very competent people. He’s not likely to get manipulated into doing something terrible.
This is not about his speech impediment. It's about caving to radical groups like Sunrise Movement. That still invaded his headquarters btw.You may not have a lot of experience with older adults >80, but I actually do have. The ones who still are sharp are sharp indeed. Biden is pretty darn sharp, speech impediment be damned.
LMAO.He’s the one who will be doing the manipulating, and doing it well.
Well he decided to conduct this months long environmental policy review in the months leading up to the election so kind of is. I would say the Reuters story in your OP is more about election year politics than it is about LNG policy.This thread is not about the election. It's in the main forum.

Having to read between the lines of a Grauniad article of all things.Reading between the lines,
It seems their biggest objection is over the scale of the project in Louisiana.it appears the issue is about (1) allowing construction of a giant fossil fuel site over 2 years that would long-term be used to increase fossil fuels as opposed to promoting alternatives and allowing that infrastructure....so lost opportunities to make required changes. I am not saying I endorse that, just explaining it; (2) the mega site on Louisiana coast that is experiencing enviro issues that will be accelerated, allegedly.
The reality, however, is that we will need fossil fuels for decades in the future.
The first goal should be to reduce global coal use as soon as possible. That includes substituting with the much cleaner natural gas.
"This is a carbon mega bomb," said Jeremy Symons, a former Environmental Protection Agency official, of CP2, speaking to the Guardian last October. "The scale of the project is almost unfathomable and it locks us into a fossil fuel dependency for the next 30 years. If all we do is shift from coal to gas, we are cooked."
...
Environmental advocates have said that increasing US exports will undermine the country’s plans to transition away from fossil fuels. Advocates worry that the CP2 expansion will also exacerbate local environmental degradation and air pollution.
And your opinion piece from The Hill is from two politicians turned lobbyists at Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future, created by US natural gas companies in the lead-up to the 2020 elections.
Mary Landrieu (D-La.) served in the U.S. Senate from 1997 to 2015. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) represented Ohio’s 13th congressional district from 2003 to 2023. The two are co-chairs of Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future.
I guess you will have to explain how that makes them "far left" because I'm still not seeing it.Their support for the "Green New Deal" is one example. Protesting against Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein for not being left enough is another.I looked up the Sunrise Movement. I see nothing there that wouldn't be just slightly left in most of the first world.
Is there a particular position they take you'd like to discuss?
Or how about this?
Dozens arrested for breaching Biden’s Delaware campaign HQ as organizer warns ‘young people won’t support’ prez
Note the combination of the climate narrative and anti-Israel rhetoric.NY Post said:Nearly two dozen lefty activists were arrested Monday for breaching President Biden’s Delaware campaign headquarters in protest of his policies on the climate and Israel-Hamas war.
“Young people won’t support a President who flip flops on climate action and who funds genocide,” Sunrise Movement, the group behind the demonstration, warned in an X post.
