Biden warns oil companies in his letter that “at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”

Congress has not declared war on anybody since 1942.

If Biden can use his war powers against the oil companies now, he can use them against anyone at any time. Old-time liberals would have been shocked by the prospect.

But modern “progressives” will certainly think it’s a great idea.

Does he actually believe that his BS eye wash would change anything?

Then he and his believe everyone is dumb as a box of rocks.

Or he and his are dumb as a box of rocks.

Well, yes. But better be careful, pal. Brandon just might use his war powers to have you arrested for defeatism.

Oops! By calling the president “Brandon”, I might get arrested for mocking the supreme commander. Oh, well. I think I’ll take the chance.

“at a time of war”

Wait a minute. There is always a war going on somewhere. Syria, the Congo, Ethiopia, Ukraine, etc.

So does that mean a president can use his emergency war powers anytime he wants to?

If he forces companies to sell below production cost then we won’t have any fuel.

So Joe Biden is going to use Emergency War Powers against his own policies?

Once again, this vegetable is not in charge. He was imposed on America by the deep state in Nov. 2020, and sits atop a mass of DC permanent ideologues and apparatchiks who all have competing fiefdoms and attempts to make policy.

Cancel an oil pipeline, then forbid drilling on federal land, then cancel oil leases. I’ll bet Brandon thinks you can make bricks without straw too!
