Not likely. The fist bump was because of Covid, but Covid should have been excuse enough for no contact. Biden’s face was far less friendly in the actual photo. Let’s not make this more than it was. Not to mention, Trump and the Republicans were the ones that ran the coverup operation.
The Pentagon is building an additional new courtroom at Guantanamo Bay, the second at the facility. A $4 million dollar expansion. The new one will be closed off to the public.
I don’t feel sorry for anyone driving a huge car or enormous truck just for show, and crying as they fill up at the pump. My car gets 29 miles to the gallon, and yes, I’m paying twice as much to fill up, but I don’t have to resort to eating Cheerios at every meal to buy gas.
You all understand that unless the government drills or owns the oil and refineries, that private oil companies will sell to the highest bidder. Wherever they are.
Realpolitik. It is a thing. In my personal life I have a bank account, I pay taxes, I buy products made by major corporations,… and a lot of other things that involve having a relationship with entities I think are immoral. I don’t feel good about it but I don’t want to live a neolithic life. Maybe I’m selfish.
I’d like to see Vladimir Putin getting close enuf to some foreign leader to do a fist bump. But probably his paranoia actually has some basis in reality, since he may be even more hated than MBS.
US Oil production peaked in the 1970’s, we went to war in Iraq on peak oil fear mongering, then Shale oil and fracking turned Hubbert’s Peak into a 10 year plateau, now the downslope is steeper. Cheap oil is gone…………Solar, solid state batteries, nuclear fusion, essential technologies for human survival at this late date.

Most balanced cartoon comment on the subject. More mature than just saying Biden met with a killer full stop.

Everyone please get over the fist bump. It’s not like he was sword dancing or consulting the witching orb with MBS. Know what I mean?
