Biden's tweet threatening gas stations
twitter ^ | July 2 | Joe Biden

Posted on 07/02/2022 11:50:49 PM PDT by RandFan

@POTUS

My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

Doesn/t he have powers to do what he likes under things like the Defense production act?

Who knows what they have planned.

GOP needs to rethink these “emergency” laws....

Good point; the only thing the senile boob didn’t call the gas station owners was “bloodsuckers” like Lenin did when he targeted anyone who had worked for a dime in Russia. Given this pattern, the next target will be the farmers over high food costs - they were called kulaks in Russia. Even Bezos is criticizing feckless “leader: over blaming the gas station owners. Biden will soon be left only with the media, the professoriate, and various fools in Hollywood.

This is exactly what they wanted, it’s the “transition to green energy.”

This is not a transition, this is a forced march like the Bataan Death March!

“This is a time of war”...

The White House later walked back his statement to:

“This is a time of proxy war”...

Joe is a thoroughly corrupt politician. He has no sense of morality or of decency. He is hateful, vulgar, obnoxious, and malicious. Why is he here? Simply to demonstrate the corruption of our culture.

“Apologies I’ve just seen this and it’s the most absurd thing i’ve seen from a US president! How can he make this order?? “

He didn’t.

This kind of rhetoric is just classic Biden BS, and neatly encapsulates the way leftists “think”. He’s been in government 50 years, and a jackass the entire time. Knows nothing of business, and therefore prone to making stupid or ignorant statements. They say stuff like this based on how they think things work.

You let people like him run anything, and it’s guaranteed failure every time.

By the way. Government hasn’t declared war since 1941. I’m not sure what he’s on about. And to paraphrase Cassius Clay, Putin never called me a Nazi

Exxon Sees $5.5 Billion Refining Windfall as Gas Prices Soar
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-01/exxon-sees-massive-5-5-billion-refinery-windfall-as-prices-jump

Exxon Mobil Corp.’s second-quarter refining earnings surged by as much as $5.5 billion, signaling a season of windfall profits for the fuel-making sector as consumers bear the burden of near-record gasoline prices.

Widening refining margins added as much as $4.6 billion during the quarter while the value of unsettled derivatives provided up to $900 million more, the Irving, Texas-based company said in a regulatory filing on Friday. Meanwhile, surging oil and natural gas prices boosted results by as much as $3.3 billion.

The fed govt takes 3-4 times more in profit via taxes than the refineries make.

Someone should tell Biden to stop being so greedy ‘and do it now’.

They want to take us from our current number of 14 carbon emissions to 1.5 in 8 years (by 2030.)

This is what we are seeing. Fossil fuels and farming are the 2 biggest offenders in their views. Does anyone realize just how bad things will get if they have their way. And while they are purposefully destroying our way of life, Biden has the nerve point the finger at the gas stations. Wow. Next he will call farmers lazy if not enough eggs are available - all the while - farm fires are occurring regularly. I really can’t stand him.
