    No, that's the Constitutional responsibility of the President. Democrats don't believe in the Constitution, and Biden*/democrats see their job as destroying the nation.

    If everyone is happy, has a job and career, not worried about retirement and inflation and the cost of groceries, then there is no way democrats can "build back better". So democrats have to destroy and make everyone miserable and scared and broke so they can ride in and declare the Constitution, capitalism, free market, conservatives, private property as the problems and then "build back" with a socialist dictatorship.

    Block offshore drilling? What next? Free and open fentanyl distribution in schools? Free handguns for convicted felons? Mandatory heroine "vaccinations"?

    Here lies the superiority of the UK system, I've always advocated for a no-confidence vote, and it's something we should use a constitutional amendment for. Part of the reason for the radicalization on all sides, including myself is the obstinate nature of American Government. They can stay for several consecutive terms, and the power of incumbency is unchecked.

    This allows them to continually ram their terrible ideas through Congress and as law, with nary a reprecussion. What are we going to do, vote for the upstart greenhorn? Or even more daringly, vote third party? Hah.

    You address a very basic question. We do, indeed get "stuck" between elections a lot with bad folks in office. I often wish we could have a no-confidence vote. But the downside is that repeating such no-votes could emasculate the government. And having to form coalitions often water down the ideals we really need. Sometimes we have to have an adult in office that has the power to guide us through long term problems... like WWII.

    It COULD be a good thing. Imagine, in a time like now, repetitive no confidence votes had our friends and enemies dealing with a demented vegetable like Biden one month, then a hardcore fighter like Trump the next and an airhead like Kamela the next? The confusion and uncertainty would be deadly.

    I would prefer that Joe did prison time if the evidence shows he used his public office to enrich his family and himself.

    Yes, he hasn't done anything, that's the issue. He was the first President since WW1 not to have a oil lease sale. Think about that while inflation and gas prices were exploding. Now he got punked by Saudi, they'll be doing business with Russia. Now we're down to Venezuela, seriously, we're sitting on some of the best reserves in the world. As you said, Biden has literally done nothing except give away our oil reserves to gain political points, let's go brandon.

    This is true. But if you're going to say it's okay to impeach Biden for something he hasn't even done yet, but you had a problem with impeaching Trump for things he definitely did, you're not really going to have any credibility left with which to make the argument.

    Trump hasn't done anything impeachable. The Biden-China thing just coming out will cook Biden... I hope.

    Please watch the attached video with experts on energy. They detail in excruciating detail all the moves Biden has made to completely dismantle energy security in the West. He succeeded in his goal and now the suffering will begin. People in 3rd world nations are going to begin dying in numbers unseen in our lifetimes. Is this what Biden administration was going for? Population control via starvation? It is honest question, I would like to see your answer.

    Impeachment requirements are vague and left to Congress to decide whether it's an impeachable offense or not. Now I get that right-wingers are anxious to impeach Biden after they watched the Democrats try and impeach Trump, but what's going to end up happening is the right-wingers are going to make the same types of cases about Biden that they just got done telling us were "witch hunts" and other nonsense about Trump.

    Regarding Trump's two impeachments, I'll say this. His conduct in regards to Ukraine may not have risen to the level of requiring impeachment, but at the very least he should have been censured. His 2nd impeachment was just, but lost it's relevance since he wasn't even in office anymore. If Jan 6th had happened earlier, and he was still president, he would have deserved it.

    But we both know the Republicans would have never voted to impeach him no matter what he had done. He has too much of a stranglehold on their voter base. And I would expect the Democrats to do the same. Gone are the times where both parties can come together and say "this is unacceptable" like they were able to with Nixon.

    Like Democrats now. But Trump gave us $2 gas. Biden has it over $6 in California. I never had to keep one eye open for an incoming nuke with Trump like I must with Biden. I never felt my son in NY was unsafe under Trump like I do now with Biden.

    LOL Trump didn't give us $2 gas and Biden hasn't given us $6 gas. I've seen your posts on here, you're smarter than this. The things you're blaming on Biden are not Biden's fault. Biden has no control over Russia. Biden does not run New York.

    Now don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting Biden. I didn't vote for the guy in 2020 and I won't be voting for him if he runs again in 2024. But I can't stand nonsense, and that's exactly what you posted.

    Biden gave us $5 gas. He ended pipelines, discouraged fracking, increased "royalties" (taxes) on oil from federal lands, and all but eliminated new drilling licenses on federal lands. Spin all you want... but those are FACTS. I never said Biden had any control over Russi... nice try to distract though. What does Biden not running New York have to do with anything?

    Oil production is up since he took office so sure, if you need to see who crashed it look a little back.

    How many oil leases sit unused?
    How many do oil companies need before they should be expected to use them?

    I don’t have the time to watch an hour video, nor the desire. I can barely sit through movies I actually am entertained by that last that long. I work 14-16 hours a day between two companies and have to take care of my family so it’s out of the question

    If you have an article I can read that would be helpful

    Trump was impeached for “not being one of them”.

    Trying to explain away everything with a narrative is not going to help your credibility either.

    What do you think Trump "actually did"? I don't see anything impeachable. A few offensive tweets and a big mouth doesn't negate his $2 gas, secure borders, energy independence, 1.6% inflation and all the rest.

    If the Biden administration does go through with the block, they will have rightly earned every bit of scorn that will come their way. This is not the time to squeeze energy prices more, even for the environment.

    How will taking from the reserves kill production? What does one thing have to do with the other? What does the move do to effect your wallet? You're just throwing things out there that don't make sense but sound good.
