Wasn't this the administration bragging about approving a record number of fracking permits?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This was so important to me that I decided to only do it a month before I'm leaving.
It is so important to me that I help dropping bomb in two month that "... was equivalent to burning at least 150,000 tonnes of coal. The emissions from the first two months of the Gaza war exceeded the annual carbon footprint of over 20 climate-vulnerable nations."
Oh NOW history is watching! Hasn’t been watching for the last 4 years at all it seems but I guess history took a little break.
History will not judge him kindly. He oversaw a hiatus on his country's march to fascism but ultimately chose upholding the status quo over real change that would actually have stopped it
I’m not convinced that history will care given that we are headed towards extinction.
If Earth is lucky. We’re unfortunately a very hardy species.
What status quo are you saying he chose to uphold?
They're watching us do nothing when the planet burns. Wonder what they think of us, probably something like this
Yup, history is watching us completely drop the ball here. History is watching Joe Biden fail to rise to the occasion of addressing the onslaught of US fascism. The environment, peace, wealth, and our very freedoms are now in dire peril.
How did he fail to rise to the occasion?
This is a fair question. The people voted for fascism. What’s he supposed to do, stage a coup to try and overturn the election results?
He wanted to, and thought he could rise to the occasion but old age got to him.
Right, almost any legislation he tried to pass was blocked by Congress because of Manchin and Sinema.
If we blame/punish politicians for trying then why would they keep trying?
Oh you naive summer child.
Your non answer is telling
Biden fit nicely into the status quo Democrat role, which was never going to help anything against the Republican fucks who give more shits about their power than serving the country. Do let me know if I need to spell out any other obvious realities to you - and your daft upvoters.
Is history watching how we handle Gaza and Israel too?
It’s watching how china handles Muslims too. Pretty poorly.
History is gonna binge watch it later.
History is waiting for the discounted used DVD release
Physical media is the only true way to appreciate these crimes against humanity. I hear they've censored the streaming version.
I'm waiting for the 2nd half of the season to drop
Oh it'll drop
Fuck you too, Joe.
