Politico: Republicans 'Pile' on Biden Begging Venezuela for Oil
Newsbusters ^ | March 11, 2022 | P.J. Gladnick

Remember how Republicans "pounced" in so many news articles that it became a laughable cliché to the extent that, in order to avoid more mockery, it was replaced by "seized?" Well, perhaps "seized" has also worn out its welcome because now Politico has a new term to mean the same as the other two: "pile."

That is the term Politico used on Wednesday to describe what those nasty Republicans are doing in reaction to Joe Biden now begging Venezuela for oil in "Venezuela talks strike political nerve in Florida."

Clueless Joe somehow seems not to realize that Venezuela's petroleum infrastructure is in a shambles due to neglect. Also most of the skilled oil workers left the country long ago. Therefore you can't just snap your fingers and expect that Venezuelan oil will be available anytime in the near future.

Their oil is that thick mud crap too. Way too much refining is needed.

Venezuela is currently #26 on the oil production ranking list:

Check out the oil reserves by country—Venezuela is number one in the world:

Think of it as socialism in action.

“Republicans seize on…” with all their pouncing and seizing, and now piling on, it’s a wonder they get anything else done

The article linked below describes how bad Venezuela's petroleum infrastructure is.

The article states "it will take spending of $180 billion to $200 billion (and 10 years) for the OPEC member to pump an average of two million barrels of crude oil daily."

Why? Gaslighting is one of our most highly refined techniques.

In the case of Linda Graham it's more of a mince. Example: "He minced over to the microphones."

That’s funny. I don’t remember “Politico” ever writing any farticles about the commie ‘RATS and their liberal sheep with college diplomas and cellphones “piling” on President Trump for the past six years.

“Their oil is that thick mud crap too. Way too much refining is needed.”

Although they actually have more proven reserves than any other country Venezuela was “blessed” with, quite literally, bottom of the barrel Extra Heavy crude. It has to be diluted with lighter grades of oil to be refined, raising the cost of their oil.
Only a step above Canada’s Oil Sand product from what I’ve read.
Add in that Chavez wrecked the Venezuelan oil industry before he assumed room temperature and they’re lucky to be pumping any at all.

What we should have done is use Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an opportunity to invade Venezuela and remove Maduro.

Giden should go! The bastard is so stupid he will not allow more drilling. The nation is turning on him and for good reason. He should be impeached for what he is doing to this counrty and its energy reserves. He is severly weakening the nation. He should be replaced. He is a goofball.
