Then Vice President Joseph Biden goes green.....speaks in Wilmington, Delaware, after giving green Fiskers electric cars located there over half a billion tax dollars startup.
They then went belly-up......but not before Hunter got a free car.

A Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday that "there's got to be consequences" after Saudi Arabia and a cartel of major oil producers moved to slash oil production last week in a move the White House said was "shortsighted" and hurtful to low and middle-income countries.
"There's got to be consequences for that. Whether it's lifting the cartel's immunity or whether it's rethinking our troop presence there, our security relationship, I just think it's time to admit that the Saudis are not looking out for us," Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," referring to the US' military presence in the Middle East.
"For years we have looked the other way as Saudi Arabia has chopped up journalists, has engaged in massive political repression, for one reason: we wanted to know that when the chips were down, when there was a global crisis, that the Saudis would choose us instead of Russia," the senator said. "Well, they didn't. They chose Russia.
"Last week, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, said that it will slash oil production by 2 million barrels per day, the biggest cut since the start of the pandemic, in a move that threatens to push gasoline prices higher just weeks before US midterm elections. The group announced the production cut following its first meeting in person since March 2020. The reduction is equivalent to about 2% of global oil demand.
The Biden administration criticized the decision in a statement, calling it "shortsighted" and saying that it's harmful to some countries already struggling with elevated energy prices the most.

Let's see: pushing us deeper in debt, push gasoline/diesel prices higher, inflation going up and up and up, tent cities, the flood of invaders continues unabated, drug overdose on the rise.
The Democrats have good reason to worry.
“Well, we’ll just stop buying their oil and let gas go to $9 a gallon. That will show them”
If you want to punish the Saudis, open up US production
OPEC+ is very quickly becoming a junior partner in the leadership of the BRICS alliance.
“ Put Biden’s plan to transition to Nonexistent green energy on the back burner.”
Put it in a wood chipper and feed the shreds of it to a raging inferno. Then drive the lunatics who came up with this plan into the howling wilderness with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This Leftist Moron has unwittingly provided the witless republicans with a perfect opportunity during this mid-term election cycle to bold and underline the Dems stupidity, hypocrisy, and anti-American energy industry policies all wrapped up in one moronic statement by the Democrat party.
So, of course, the Stupid Party will likely not recognize this and will not use this to its advantage.
It will once again be left up to Donald Trump to do so.
Gee, just two years ago the US was a net energy exporter and had no need to kowtow to the Saudi sheiks. The Saudis are laughing at Biden’s groveling and weakness
Yeah.
What are the consequences for Biden reducing our own energy production!?
They’re “saving the world” because I guess there will be no global warming if we burn Saudi oil?
To hell with these communist lunatics!
That’s an interesting point...
It will take a decade or longer to fully unwind this mess and that ASSUMES that we turn this around immediately. That ain’t happening..... we have two more years of damage coming.
As a person eligible to retire I cannot tell you how happy I am that I no longer have to tolerate mean tweets.
So drilling in the USA is bad and evil but drilling in other countries is good? Hypocrisy much?
Easy solution - the West stops buying Saudi oil.
...and see how that BRILLIANT idea works.
Your abject stupidity is not a reason to blame and call for punishment of the rest of the world. You are exceptionally stupid and ill-informed, despite your delusional belief that you are smarter than everyone who doesn't agree with you.
At least try not to be a negative influence in the world. Think harder.
Looks like Murphy thinks he isn’t getting enough money from the Saudis.
Then Vice President Joseph Biden goes green.....speaks in Wilmington, Delaware, after giving green Fiskers electric cars located there over half a billion tax dollars startup.
They then went belly-up......but not before Hunter got a free car.
Yo, f’n idiot assclown. It’s your political party that’s the reason this country is again dependent on foreign oil.
There will be consequences — midterms.
It’s their Petroleum, they can do what ever they want, sell it, give it away...that’s the way it is in a FREE WORLD...
American oil production cuts good, OPEC oil production cuts bad. The DemocRATS are insane.
