    The gas shortage has cars wrapping the block in lines.

    As Biden "calls an early lid.": The White House national security advisor, not President Biden, is publicly dealing with Hamas.
    Where is Biden and what is he doing?

    We Don't Have a President
    Meanwhile here in our country:
    We don’t have a president. We have a man who holds the office while his handlers make all the decisions and craft all the narratives, but we don’t have a president who can stand up and provide guidance on the tough issues.

    LOL! Another "Biden bad" thread, they are popping up a dime a dozen now everyday.

    But, I'll play: In your opinion, what should Biden do with respect to

    1) Israel evicting Palestinians from their homes to make room for Israeli settlers, which is causing the current violence?
    2) A private sector energy infrastructure company failing to secure their network, causing the current fuel shortages?

    I am interested in the big government solutions you no doubt will propose.

    As you know I am not fan of Trump but did prefer him over Hillary (not that I voted for either) and felt he did ok for about a year. One thing I did not understand during the Trump years was the Trump followers glee at the suffering of the "Libs". The "sipping on the tears of Libs" and the like.

    But now I find myself taking perverse pleasure watching those same people now be so very unhappy. All the whining and doomsaying and watching them do the very exact things the Libs did for 4 years makes me smile.

    I know it makes me a bad person to revel in the suffering of others, but when the suffering is self-inflicted I think it is not as bad.

    My life is going great.

    I wish I could say I am sorry you are suffering so much, but I do not like to lie.

    The New York Times is claiming no long gas lines? Do they not watch the news?

    That is not a gas shortage, it is a distribution problem that has already been fixed and before the weekend will just be a memory.

    Have you not watched the news? One east coast Gov suspended the sales tax on gas because of price hikes, gas stations have closed and the ones that are open have long lines.

    Do you still believe what the NYT wrote?

    Yes, there was an interruption in the distribution of gasoline to those areas. There is no shortage of gasoline in the US, just a problem getting it to some places due to hack of a pipeline. The problem has been fixed and before the start of the weekend it will be nothing more than a story for people to tell their grandkids.

    I do not read the NYT as I do not think it is worth the price they want.

    I went by a Walmart at 4 PM yesterday and there was a line of cars at their pumps waiting to get gasoline. I passed the same Walmart again at 8 PM and there were no cars at the pumps. As I got closer I saw the pumps were all roped off with yellow tape. So it looks like Walmart was out of gas. I would call that a shortage.

    Democrats have been attacking our oil pipelines trying to shut them down and now they want us to believe they are mad this one is got shut down and tell us Russia did it.

    Is Putin helping the democrats turn America green?

    Democrats at the highest levels are behind the pipeline attack and if you believe otherwise you got no clue.

    I see no problems getting gas in my state. No single gas station out of gas. No shortage here.

    You must not be too worried about shortage.
    If you're driving around checking out WalMart.

    1) I would suggest complete approval of Israel taking the Gaza Strip.
    2) He should do like trump would do. Find the actors who did this, if they’re from a foreign country working in any official capacity levy sanctions against them.

    Not here. No shortage.
    Maybe there's a disruption in a certain area?

    That is what happens when you have a disruption in the distribution. It is not due to a lack of gasoline in the country, but instead getting it to where you are.

    When grocery stores run out of bread and milk before an ice storm or a hurricane nobody is calling that a shortage.
