This isn’t the good-old days when Dems would pull this crap and people would be in in the Capital with pitchforks and Republicans would issue feckless statements. A lot of people know what’s really going on, and know this is pure theater.

Evil oil and gas companies didn't exist under Trump?

I guess we need Trump again to keep them in line. Biden isn't up to it, obviously.

It’s always the Democrats that make the gas prices go insane

“It’s always the Democrats that make the gas prices go insane”

That’s merely 50 years of coincidence

Agree, in the past BOTH PARTIES pretty much supported oil production, the problem back then was that we didn’t have fracking.

Now we do, but the DEMOCRATS are hell-bent on stopping production and are not even hiding it. So, no, the oil company blame-game ain’t going to work.

These people are so incredibly stupid. Oil companies do not set the price of oil -
it’s a world-wide market. Supply and demand. DUH!

These dumbass Democrat hacks are too gay to last more than two minutes working in the oil and gas sector. The stock in trade for Democrat parasites is to rag on the private sector producers that pay the taxes, that give these parasites their Federal Government paychecks.

They are not stupid. Their DemoCrap propaganda is aimed at the dumb and the gullible, the low information voters.

The Democrats are the Enemy Within.

The Democrats stand for only one thing: GOVERNMENT and a governmental doctrine is GOVERNMENT IS NEVER WRONG OR TO BLAME. It’s always somebody else’s fault.

Well guess what? Anybody with half a brain knows that prices in the market place are determined by supply and demand. In this case GOVERNMENT has cut off the our cheap domestic oil supply forcing costs up, sales down, and therefore forcing prices to go up for companies to stay in business. GOVERNMENT IS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF HIGHER OIL PRICES!!!!

As Reagan repeatedly said, “Government isn’t the solution , government is the problem.

Big Oil was AWOL in the 2020 election in suppoet of President Trump. I’m having a hard time feeling any sympathy for them these days.

Total propaganda show. Every time a democrap gets into office fuel prices skyrocket and their Big Oil buddies make billions. Does anyone actually think Big Oil, while making billions, is scared to go in front of a bunch of low rent politicians?? It is all for show.

Big Oil doesn't need sympathy. They got the puppet they wanted and he jacked up oil prices.

Dims pretending to hate Big Oil and Big Oil pretending they're scared is all theatre.

Yup. With Biden’s approval numbers at 40%, thats proof- positive that 40% of the US population is dumber than dirt, or on welfare.
