Tell Me a Story: Ah...NO!

Prez Pedo suggested that we, the U.S. taxpayers should/will reimburse the big oil companies for repairing Venezuela’s infrastructure for extracting and shipping oil.

“A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us or through revenue,” the president said.

The US energy secretary, Chris Wright, reportedly plans to meet representatives of Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil at the Goldman Sachs Energy, Clean Tech & Utilities Conference in Miami later this week.

The three biggest US oil companies – Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips and Chevron – have not yet had any conversations with the administration about Maduro’s removal, Reuters reported. This contradicted Trump’s statements over the weekend that he had already held meetings with “all” the US oil companies, before and since Maduro was seized.
“Nobody in those three companies has had conversations with the White House about operating in Venezuela, pre-removal or post-removal to this point,” one of the sources told Reuters. (source)

Pedo lied and went in unprepared, without a plan in sight? He neglected to get all the big players on board before shooting his wad?

I'm simply shocked, I tell you! (insert sky-breaking eye roll here). Also, FUCK YOU SPANKY! You want the oil so badly? You and your fellow billionaire buddies can go down there and extract it yourself, ON YOUR OWN FUCKING DIME!

I seriously believe we’re on the verge of the U.S. breaking up and, if Pedo sticks us with the oil industry’s bill, it’s fait accompli. I’ve long felt this country's too damn big, unwieldy, and certainly not united. Someone on Threads yesterday revived talk of the Northeast seceding. Specifically, they were speaking of New England becoming its own country. I'm thinking that adding in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey would be good. We’d first need to boot out Maine and Pennsylvania’s MAGAt senators as well as New Hampshire’s idiot, Trump-sucking governor. After all, we can’t begin our new nation with lunatics on the bridge.

The West coast states – California, Oregon, and Washington – can form their own union too. We can make an alliance.

The United States has had 250 long, troubled, batshit, and sometimes inspiring, beautiful years. They were consistently good years as long as you were white, healthy, male, and had money.

By the way, The Northeast Union (or whatever our new nation will be named) will MOST definitely stand with a free, independent Greenland.
