    I don't understand why that's such a difficult concept for liberals to grasp, unless they're just purposefully ignorant or in denial.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Oil companies know that we're going to have to end fossil fuel. They've known longer than we have.

        End when? And, when you have a POTUS who ran on "I'm going to shut it down" - that's a whole lot different than "eventually ending".

          What he ran on was "no new drilling on federal lands and water".

          True, he is prone to misstatements, but oil company executives are probably smart enough to note the clarifications.

            You need to remember, you're talking to a guy who insisted that an email to Fauci the Fraud's department thanking them for approving funding for gain of function research, doesn't prove that they approved funding for gain of function research. You are never going to convince him of anything that goes against his preferred narrative.

                Still laughing at "prone to misstatements".

                    Have we ever had a president who requires as much "clarification" from his staff as Joe? And now we have his incompetent press secretary who can't even do that much and says things like, "I didn't see that part of his speech, so I have no comment."

                      Lots of lies. And misremembered stories told over and over again even after they are debunked.

                        I think my favorite was when Peter was questioning her about Biden's voice mail, and she tried her best to dodge, then said "I'll have to refer you to Hunter Biden's spokesperson" or something like that.
                        We have to ask HUNTER about something JOE Said?

                          Karine Jean-Pierre won’t discuss Biden voicemail on Hunter’s laptop

                          [ bolding mine ]

                          White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to discuss a 2018 voicemail from President Biden that was recovered from a laptop that belonged to his son Hunter — further undermining Biden’s claim that he never discussed foreign business deals with his son.

                          “Why is there a voicemail of the president talking to his son about his overseas business dealings if the president has said he’s never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre at her regular briefing Tuesday.

                          “Well, first I’ll say that what the president said stands. So if he — that’s what the president said, that is what stands,” Jean-Pierre replied.

                          “He’s leaving a voicemail about a New York Times article concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings and he says, ‘I think you’re clear,’ ” Doocy interjected. “How is that not him talking to his son about his overseas business dealings?”

                          “We’re not, from this podium — I’m not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop,” Jean-Pierre replied.

                          “Are you disputing that this is the president’s voice on the voicemail?” Doocy pressed.

                          “I am not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop,” Jean-Pierre maintained. “Peter, I refer you to his son’s representatives.”

                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            White House Press Secretary Can’t Explain Why America's Emergency Oil Is Being Sent Overseas

                            The poor child is SO unprepared for this job. HOWEVER, she checks several boxes on the diversity scale!

                            Speaking to reporters at the White House Tuesday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked why an emergency supply of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being sent to foreign countries while Americans struggle with high prices as the gas pump. She claimed she wasn't aware of the situation.

                            "There's a Reuters report out this morning that says that more than 5 million barrels of oil that were released from the emergency oil reserves were exported to Europe and Asia last month, and some of it, reportedly, was actually heading to China. Is the administration aware of those reports? And does the president mind that some of this oil that was meant to ease paying for consumers is headed overseas?" a reporter asked.

                            "I have not seen that report, so I would honestly have to go look into it and see what, what the truth is in that, in that statement that you just laid out and see exactly what's happening. I just have not seen that report," Jean-Pierre responded.



                            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              She could have spun that, if she was more clever. Just say "President Biden said he never discussed his business dealings with his son. A voicemail is not a discussion." But she's a moron.

                                Maybe she knows there's more than just that voicemail!
