This was Biden's first mistake of his term that will actually affect him

What was he right about?

Don't worry! None of that natural gas will ever get pumped. This is the classic Democrat bate and switch. Approve new drilling, hold it up in the courts, EPA hell, and various permitting processes for 5 years and then kill it with executive order.
Biden's war on domestic energy will continue unabated...

Don't worry! In five or ten years the EPA will start issuing those permits! Oh wait... there was another court challenge!

So they could turn this fiasco into a rort?

They already did. The liberal war on domestic energy is based on the bizarre belief that natural gas from Venezuela is cleaner than natural gas from Alaska since Venezuela is communist.

Venezuela is not quite communist but it is certainly socialist...

Evidence: "Venezuela’s government [has]... crippled state-run companies, decades after seizing them in the name of socialism."

It's communist.
And conveniently it went from one of Central America's richest countries to one of their poorest, 5 secands after the jack booted commie took over.
3 step plan:
Communists take over
Communists run the country into the ground
Communists claim: this wasn't really communism!

Source that Venezuela is communist?

Before jackbooted communist takeover Venezuela was wealthy country. After jackbooted communist takeover Venezuela is starving. Don't worry. That wasn't REAL communism!

A right wing think tank won't change my mind

You love communist Venezuela? Why?

No I don't, I'm reporting facts. It's socialist, and I remember conservatives previously calling it socialist. And no, communism is not the same as socialism

What's the difference? Socialism is just what they call it before the single party system takes over.
That's why it always goes from "Democratic national socialism" to "communist" dictatorship to "military dictatorship."
Then afterwards we all say "butt that wasn't REAL communism!" And move on to the next leftist disaster.

North Korea also leans towards communism but isn't quite communist despite having a one party state.

North Korea is governed by a monarchic family clan; its 'socialism' has been broadly replaced by corruption (at the top) and informal marketisation (at the bottom); it flirts with race-fascism.

"That's why it always goes from "Democratic national socialism" to "communist" dictatorship to "military dictatorship.""

To which communism is international socialism.

"Then afterwards we all say "butt that wasn't REAL communism!" And move on to the next leftist disaster."

Do we?
