no, all REAL americans want america to be back to the way it was, and you know what? after today, this is the american response.

you see, america is the john wick of nations. if you just leave us alone, we're happy to retire and have our own internal issues, like a metaphorical dead wife. but when you shoot our dog (attack us), or have something that belongs to us (petroleum) then you are going to face the full might of the autistic gunfu country.
 
FFS the amount of third worldist seething I'm getting on Xitter from apparently "based" right wingers is turning me into a Zionist. "Trump ousts enemy dictator who was meeting with our primary geopolitical enemy, JEWS WIN AGAIN!"

I'm so tired of these "people."

Thats easier said than done since white liberals are affluent annoying and sincerely think thst these people are just innocent oppressed people and not at all culturally incompatible with americans.
Just saying domestic issues are hard to fix right now atm.
But im surprised your take is surprisingly sane and not doomerish.
 
>Criticize Trump for not making an example out of third world shitholes
>Trump begins the new year with making an example out of a third world shithole
>Somehow snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Parody so cheesy you'd think this was a saturday morning dub of some anime slop.
 
Since I've been digging into the rolling disaster that is Newsome's economic policies here's another gem.

In October Chevron Oil announced they will begin winding down operation in California and move their refineries to Texas.

Andy Walz, Chevron's president of Americas products, said during an appearance on FOX Business, "I think it's been a tyranny of about 25 years to get the refining business to leave California."

Walz told reporters last summer about Chevron's move from California to Texas, saying the company has "been doing that because California is a tough place to do business."

"It's a tough place to recruit people," he said. "It's a tough place to move employees – a lot of our employees move up through the company, they gain experience in different geographies, different locations, and we have a lot of people who will not move to California. That makes it difficult."

California appears to be headed towards an energy crisis of its own making. The state’s gasoline prices at the pump are high and could go higher if a key piece of infrastructure goes out of business due to the state’s harsh regulatory environment in the coming months.

As millions of Americans currently enjoy gasoline prices under $3.00 per gallon, California’s gas price remains $1.55 above the national average according to AAA. Almost all of the difference is attributable to the state’s onerous gas tax regime, as detailed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Hawaii has the 2nd highest gas prices, but that state has no choice but to import all of its oil needs. California doesn’t have that excuse – its high costs are entirely self-inflicted due to choices made by the state’s government.

California’s situation with gas prices and supplies threatens to grow significantly worse with the impending closure of its sole remaining major south-to-north oil pipeline. On October 25, USC Professor Michael A. Mische, UC Berkeley Professors James W. Rector, and Joseph B. Silvi issued a policy brief in which they lay out the various factors that have led to the state’s energy dilemma.

From the report: “California’s in-state oil production has declined by approximately 65% since 2001, while its dependency on foreign imports has risen by nearly 70%. At the same time, refinery capacity has fallen 21% since 2023 and gasoline demand remains largely unchanged at roughly 36–40 million gallons per day. SB 237, designed to permit up to 2,000 new wells annually in Kern County, will add some production but not enough to offset the overall statewide decline and will not adequately stabilize the state’s petroleum infrastructure.”

So basically for the last 20 years Commiefornia's been doing everything but making oil illegal and finally the big 3 companies have had enough and are starting to pack up for Texas. Realizing that his states already insane gas prices will skyrocket even further, Newsome has desperately tried to convince them to stay by "generously allowing 200 more well sites to be drilled in Nanto Valley". Yah..a whole 200 sites? How generous, how supportive!

When that failed Newsome reverted to standard Commie practice of threats and extortion so he told the Oil companies that they would be taxed based off of the "necessary funds needed to repair the environmental damages inflicted by the oil companies" if they indeed left Commiefornia for Texas. And the Commiefornia State Body is quickly whipping up yet more laws and regulations to make leaving the State incredibly expensive for any oil company.

“At the core of these disasters are the Californians whose lives and property have been destroyed,” said Menjivar. “We must be relentless and creative in pursuing all avenues to redirect the financial burden away from the consumer as we mitigate the consequences of human-made disasters.”

What’s in the bill: The bill, SB 684, would create a program in California’s Environmental Protection Agency to assess fees on major fossil fuel producers that did business in the state and emitted more than 1 billion metric tons of climate-heating CO2 from 1990 to 2024.
