Psaki Says No Venezuelan Oil ‘at This Time’ as Hispanic Support for Democrats Collapses
Breitbart ^ | 15 Mar 2022 | Frances Martel

Posted on 03/15/2022 1:24:05 PM PDT by Signalman

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly shut down questions about President Joe Biden potentially cutting a deal to import oil from socialist Venezuela on Monday after rumors of such a move, fueled by a U.S. delegation to Caracas, prompted international outrage.

Psaki temporarily ruled out importing Venezuelan oil shortly after polling released in the past week showed a dramatic collapse in support to the Democrats from Hispanic Americans that began during the 2020 election, fueled by concerns that socialists friendly with, among others, the Venezuelan regime had become too powerful within the Party.

Biden sent a delegation to Caracas to visit socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro — who America does not formally recognize as the president of Venezuela, as the National Assembly constitutionally stripped him of that power in 2019 — on March 5. While multiple establishment media reports claimed the American team was there to discuss a potential oil deal with Maduro, the dictator, while confirming the visit, did not mention any such conversation. He instead claimed that he engaged in a “respectful, cordial, diplomatic meeting” on an unspecified “positive agenda.”

There’s that pesky problem that a lot of the rigs and equipment are owned by the Russians.

Well, after 20 years, I guess Chavez-Maduro-Socialist Venezuela isn’t such a problem after all.

Just when things are going poorly for Biden, it only keeps getting worse.

They can’t produce more than they are now, they steal from their own oil company and there isn’t enough money for normal maintenance.

Maduro did give the US this:
Venezuela released two jailed U.S. citizens on Tuesday in an apparent goodwill gesture toward the Biden administration following a visit to Caracas by a high-level U.S. delegation.

One of the freed prisoners was Gustavo Cardenas, among six Citgo oil executives arrested in 2017 and convicted on charges the U.S. government says were fabricated. The other was a Cuban American, identified as Jorge Alberto Fernandez, detained on unrelated charges.

Democrats think a command economy can simply command more production. It can’t when you are forever sucking it dry.

Venezuela can’t get the equipment to work any longer.

Communists eventually run out of other people’s money, and squander everything they nationalize, then wonder who will next come along and “save” them.

We are led by incompetent, evil fools that can only destroy and get their cut of the fire sale of America’s prosperity.

Anyone who wants to get into a war led by these clowns is insane.

Are they trying to link Hispanic support to the Venezuelan oil deal?

The reason fracking worked so well is that it was developed by wild-caters before Washington DC figured out what was going on. By then we were hooked and little could be done.

Now we have a war with Putin as well as a climate war so we can all sacrifice and go without. Patriotism and democracy demand no less [don't blame me, I heard it on the news].
