Remember when Trump and Bessent promised the US 3 million barrels a day of new crude production if Trump was elected? At the time I pointed out this would never happen.
Where are the follow up articles asking Bessent about these claims? Why is no one asking where that oil went?

You don't invest in fossil fuel companies to make money in 2024. You only do that to keep the status quo in place because you and your fellow pedophile-friendly billionaires feel it helps your larger efforts to control everything.
As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest.
No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
