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

“Any longer”, he neglected to add. Biden’s reversal of Trump energy policy gave Putin an $85 billion windfall last year, which he is clearly spending on roads and bridges.
Stupid enough to believe Joe Biden received 81 million votes and to accept tyrannical edicts, death jabs, and millions of businesses destroyed, and millions of lives ruined because of a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.
Yeah, I know you said don’t answer that question, but I couldn’t resist. Sorry.😉
“Of course Brandon is pumping more oil than Trump in his first year, because Trump hadn’t had time for his Executive Orders to be fully implemented.”
Numbers never lie, but liars use numbers. He had to use a first year comparison. If he used Trump’s last year he would look like a fool.
Secondly, his numbers are reasonable in the first part of the last year, because of the same reason, his Executive Orders haven’t been fully implemented. So, he was riding off of Trump’s oil coat-tails.
Well China is by far the biggest importer of Russian oil, and there is nothing Dementia Joe can do about that.
“ Can’t wait till November.”
*************
Waiting till November is too long. Wishing there is a quicker solution. The one thing I like about the parliamentary political system over our representative republic is their ability to hold a vote of confidence and if it fails hold snap elections for a new government.
I wonder when the notoriously self-important and pompous Democrats are going to get tired of being associated with this complete failure of an “Administration.”
Psaki was quick to point out (”than Trump’s first year”), which means it took the reversal of all of the excessive fed regulations that opened up shale gas production for the US to become a net exporter in his 3rd year. What a liar, and a den of liars.
Even as snile as #CluelessJoe is, he knows he’s lying.
But then, remember the Liberal Rules of Truth:
1. Truth is whatever serves the Party.
2. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.
“This fool and his cronies hate the American people.”
The hate is VERY mutual.
‘We’re not subsidizing Putin’s war’: Biden says he’s subsidizing the Iranian Mad Mullahs drive for nuclear warheads instead with $90 billion and more.
Got gas in Brooklyn yesterday: 100 dollars bought me just half a tank. 40 gallon tank.
According to this government website, as of Dec. ‘21 we were 1.5 million barrels a day less than the pre-pandemic peak level of production... https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=mcrfpus2&f=m
Interesting to note that we were on a downward slide until Trump was elected and then production went up continually until the pandemic hit... made a short recovery and then dropped again the month Biden was sworn in.
Well yeah, Biden probably did pump more oil than Trump did after Biden, China and Fauci shut our economy down.
If it wasn’t for the west Russia would still collect their Oil with buckets
They are playing up the fact that Biden stopped importation, but then let him blame Russia for the high prices. Not even one fact check on when higher prices actually started.
But it won’t matter a bit. Even hard core Democrats in my office are tired of hearing super rich comedians and actors telling them to suck it up, that higher gas prices are patriotic.
In other words, he just admitted that he pumped far less oil than what Donald Trump accomplished.
“Biden banned the Keystone pipeline.” —

Hmmm...
2020 and 2021 production were almost identical, but 2019 was Trump's peak and substantially more than last year.
More losing, followed by more whining, followed by more threats, followed by calls for "just wait for 2024!"
