Biden blames oil prices on Ukraine war, credits Democrats for improving economy

PHILADELPHIA — President Joe Biden told House Democrats gathered here on Friday that 2022 “may be the most important off-year election in modern history,” gave his party credit for an improving economy and rejected blame for rising gas prices.

“Democrats didn’t cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did,” Biden said of the Russian president. “Putin’s gas tax has pushed prices higher.”

Biden touted the $1.9 trillion Covid relief and economic stimulus package on the anniversary of its enactment. “We created 6.7 million jobs last year, more than any other time in American history,” he said.

“We did it alone. Without one single solitary Republican vote," he said. "It was the Democrats — it was you — that brought us back."

Biden said the real reason prices are so high in the U.S. — “notwithstanding what Republicans say” — is twofold: Covid’s disruptions to supply chains, and Putin’s war in Ukraine driving up gas prices. “Make no mistake, inflation’s largely the fault of Putin,” he said.

Biden said his administration has sought to promote domestic energy while trying to balance it with steps to boost clean energy and combating climate change.

After his remarks, Biden was set to hold a question-and-answer session with the Democratic lawmakers that was closed to the press.

We did it alone.

Sure did: Highest rate of inflation in 40 years, This picture was from Sam's Club in March 2020: negative economic growth during 4th quarter, unemployment the highest in two decades, and an on-going mask mandate.

But, that's what you get with a mail-order President.

My response to this starts with the Afghanistan debacle. Joe Biden has assembled the most incompetent Foreign Policy group in my lifetime and it culminated in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a situation that need not have happened, just like Afghanistan.

The Presidents response has been to sanction the American people with high gas and food prices for a country most cant find on a map. It has left the Ukrainian people begging for help. Stolen elections have consequences.

“What does it mean when someone is constantly shifting weight back and forth between their legs while standing? It means they are acting shifty, and are likely a scoundrel. These types of people can be manipulative, dangerous and toxic. They use their connections to get what they want, see people as objects, are extremely narcissistic and do not keep their word. The shifting from foot to foot represents their inability to form stable relationships with others. The lack of structure in their lives is embodied by their physical structure changing rapidly. When they are on their right leg, that symbolizes the fact that they always think they are right. When they are on their left leg, it shows the deep pain of someone they loved who left them. Be very careful with this type of person. You may wish to avoid them, or, if you are brave, tell them what an asshole they are.”

Using this analogy I would be a completely horrible person who will be gunning down teens and dogs in my neighborhood. Notwithstanding my left leg got blown to hell in the Army leaving me with 25% missing muscle and a crushed motor nerve in my right foot keeps me shifting from left to right feet since I am unable to keep my balance long not moving. So not everyone that shifts feet while standing will fall into the shifty scoundrel net.

Putin began assembling troops on the Ukrainian border less than two months after Brandon’s Afghanistan humiliation. Five months later, Russian troops are on the outskirts of Kiev.

No Brandon f’up in Afghanistan, no Putin war in Ukraine.

Chris Watts was making the exact same motion when he was talking to the cops and the news media the day his family went missing and he was talking about hoping they’d come back.

Always been interested in body language....there’s a lot to it.

When being interviewed in Utah Brian Laundrie also displayed some very guilty body language.

He doesn't want Peter Doocy asking him any questions.

““We did it alone. Without one single solitary Republican vote,” he said. “It was the Democrats — it was you — that brought us back.””

And that should be EVERY Republican campaign ad, whether running for Congress or the local school board.

No ..... WE ARE !

WHY hasn't there been a call for impeachment?

Don't give me that "we'll get the cocksucker" BS.

From the time impeachment proceedings are announced, the time taken to actually go through the process brings us up to the 2024 election.

WHY ARE YOU REPUBLICANS SO BALL LESS !


TIE THE DEMOCRAT SATANISTS UP LIKE THEY DID PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR FOUR YEARS.

He has lied so much he no longer knows he’s lying. Worse, it’s made him think he can just command reality with words.
