'We're not subsidizing Putin's war': Biden says he's hitting the 'main artery of Russia's economy' by banning all energy imports, insists he pumped MORE oil than Trump and says it's time to transition to clean energy

President Joe Biden said the ban is a 'powerful blow to Putin's war machine' during White House remarks
The ban will be levied by the US alone without European Union allies, which rely more on Russian energy
Biden used their reliance on Russian oil and gas as a reason to accelerate the move toward clean energy, which he said 'will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future'
American markets only bought 3.5 percent of their crude oil from Russia last year, with most from Canada
Domestic gas prices have skyrocketed since Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine in late Feb But the crisis has still exacerbated US gas prices, which reached a US-wide record average of $4.17 per gallon
The American Auto Association released a series of tips to help Americans 'conserve' fuel on Monday
Meanwhile US officials have been looking at Venezuela and Saudi Arabia as potential sellers to fill the gap
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said going to authoritarian Venezuela for oil is 'the height of insanity'
Democrat Senator Jon Tester said 'We shouldn’t be advancing other countries who don’t share our values'
More than 7 in 10 Americans still say they'd support a ban on Russian oil, a new poll released Tuesday shows The United Kingdom is expected to levy its own ban on Russian oil, with a ban on its natural gas still in talks

He also hit back at Republican accusations that his administration cut back US oil and gas production -- pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his first year in office.

Yeah, OK.

FUEL UP RIGHT NOW, TODAY, PEOPLE1

Gas is gonna go up, up, up!!!

[Tipllub]

What a pathetic piece of garbage.

[Luke21]

Best remark since he said Putin invaded Russia. But you notice their accursed fact checkers just chew their bubble gum.

[McGavin999]

Right, that’s why oil is so cheap. What did you do with it Sleeping Joe? Give it to China?

[Luke21]

I did last night. Already too late.

[rktman]

So, six buck gas by, oh, this afternoon? 🙅

[frogjerk]

We need a flood of real conservatives to take a super majority in the House and Senate and get rid of the RINOs and DIMs and just let the resident eat pudding for the rest of his installation.

pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his first year in office.

Interesting since it takes a couple of years to ramp-up production. But only months to kill it. How stupid do they think people are. Don't answer that, they may be right.

I’m surprised Brandon didn’t say, “If we don’t drive for two weeks, we can flatten the curve.”

[BenLurkin]

If only we had stopped selling oil to Japan.

TYhey would have stopped invading China.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Ironic that the green mindset is largely the product of a decades-long Russian propaganda campaign.

He shuffled away and took no questions due to his dementia.

So nobody could ask why he asked Pelosi and Schumer to stall their bill so he could announce this so he didn’t look like he was leading from behind, again.

"insists he pumped MORE oil than Trump and says it's time to transition to clean energy"

[JoSixChip]

FUEL UP RIGHT NOW

I just filled-up my golf cart and a small gas can, cost me $40.

[Yo-Yo]

About friggin' time, Brandon.

pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his first year in office.

Are you pumping more than Trump did in his fourth year in office, Brandon?

[thinden]

WH57: this is the “transition” you were asking me about.

drive fossil prices so high that it makes green new deal look reasonable.

[ifinnegan]

Insane.

What’s more insane than a lying politician is a news industry that supports and spreads the lies and most of all a populace that believes insane things, a populace that detached from reality, or perhaps that non-caring.

[WMarshal]

If they will lie about this they will lie about anything. Anyone that trusts the Biden Regime’s propaganda is a fool or a fellow traveler.
