“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
That too. But I am just more interested in living in and discussing reality, rather than the fantasies concocted by those petty narcissists.

I think it’s just a negotiation tactic meant to apply political pressure on Exxon. Exxon knows he need them more than they need him. They are correct that Venezuela is uninvestible without serious reform.

And I have little confidence in the current regime to run its own country wisely and professionally, to say nothing of nation-building in another country that it’s ideologically inclined to view in racist tones, and to denigrate as inferior or incompetent.

Granted, but in this hypothetical scenario, would fewer than 20 newspaper op-ed boards have stepped up to defend the decision? Would a majority of Democratic rank and file have done anything other than quietly acquiesce to Biden’s decision?

Answers are “no” in both. Therein lies the hypocrisy.

Also recommended for pregnant women (27th to 36th weeks) to pass on antibodies to newborns which are not eligible until 2mo. old. Your efforts protect not only yourself but your entire community. #vaccines #health
