Gallego supported the Laken-Riley Act and supported renditioning people to a slave camp in El Salvador. He should not be trusted, but the fact that he is talking like this shows he knows which way the wind blows.

Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable.

Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability.
