Democrats are too busy playing checkers to figure this out while the republicans, oil execs and oligarchies play chess.

Given the extensive evidence of Trump being a Russian asset, and of Russian collusion in 2016, of course they will continue. For those who've missed this:

As always Thom, you are right. The problem is, the Ban Fossil Fuels Export Act will NEVER pass nor will anything close. Just like addiction, the only solution is to take away the customer. If addicts (and we are addicted to fossil fuels) no longer purchase the product (just like Fentanyl), the product eventually goes away. Guns or butter; what's your choice? Fossil fuels or renewables; what's your choice? What do you purchase? Fentanyl or recovery; what's your choice? The private sector is where the solution lies. Support NGO's and companies that are building renewables. Put our engineering skills into renewables. Fund private science to take fusion energy from 'make more Nukes' to sustainable energy for all. Our Federal Government is completely useless on this front. We have to admit it and move on.

What a triumvirate Putin, MBS and Trump made---three psychopaths out to rule the world. Two of them had nukes, and if Trump makes his comeback, don't bet against him making it all three. He already sold the Saudis everything else Congress had said NO to, AND he had the gall to brag about it. These three would sell our chance of survival for jobs and profits that will be meaningless in 30 years.

Thom, thanks for the lesson and the info to contact my Congressional members on the BAN Act.

I expect nothing from Biden, Except for IRA which had a gift for the 1% m oil companies and PhRMA he really has produced nothing his DOJ is defending Trump.. His DOJ is run by a Trump humping, right winger and his staff is nothing but Trump Humpers, as is the FBI, CIA, NSA and secret service.

He is working with McCarthy to cut into social spending, maybe set the ground for privatizing Social Security and Medicare, while claiming that he is doing the best can for the good of the country and the world, when he has Art II nd the 14th Amendment at his back to signed an Executive order, which he won't do and why? he is either cowardly, complicit or corrupt and we are being fed a snow job.

If Biden doesn't step up and raise the debt ceiling with an EO. I am going to sit out the next election.

I am fed up with these snow jobs and voting against instead of for, of finding that the man and party I voted for were old fashioned Republicans (BN) before Nixon ,and not Democrats or put it another way

it looks like the difference between the R's and the D's is the difference between Kellogg's corn flakes and Post toasties.

One other thing, ii the same short time period before the Republican Congress was sworn in, the Democrats were able to pass a Respect for Marriage act, they could have also passed a Respect for Choice act, but chose not to even try.

Reason: By passing a pro choice piece of legislation, would have even more mobilized the fascist patriarchs, where as gay marriage had eventually been accepted.

Now we know why #MBS refuses to release ANY of the (500) count #Amerikan F-15 `Strike Eagles` sitting in the desert over in `Saudi Arabia` to #Ukraine. He could at least offer to train the pilots! Where is the rightful heir to the `House of Saud`? Does #MBS still have his brother incarcerated at the `Mesa Hilton` of `Saudi Arabia`? You all do know, that in addition to ordering the `Turkish Bar-b-que` of Jamal Khash-yogi per United States intelligence services, #MBS also usurped the future throne of `Saudi Arabia` from his brother, the rightful heir to the `House of Saud`. What does his brother say about all of the `anti-Amerikan` Bull-#Sh’t #MBS has been playing out on the International stage? Please remember the country of `Saudi Arabia` would not exist without the #Amerikans-past. In my administration, I will demand a return to sanity by requesting the #King restore the rightful heir to his throne. In the event my “request” is not carried out, I will personally apprehend #MBS and send him to #Gitmo with a rug and a copy of the #Koran for a “leetle” multi-year “stretching exercises”.

What are the chances of #RazPutin selling and delivering a “Weapon of Mass Destruction” from #Russia to #SaudiArabia in order to protect #MBS’s regime from certain collapse?
