Petulant child.
Petulant Marxist child.

Temper tantrum about privately owned companies making a profit.
And a larger profit because of incredible ineptness of the Biden regime.

“IF you do NOT have the raw materials : CRUDE OIL: how can you refine anything??”

The oil situation confuses me. Is America selling some of its oil on the global market to the highest bidder, which causes the high domestic prices?

American exceptionalism has been strangled by its own government. Sad.

Uh, Joe....there ain’t no war. And therefore no basis for the use of presidential emergency war powers.

The article is wrong that Biden is suggesting anything relating to war powers. He isn’t. The person writing the article made that up out of whole cloth.

If you think gas is expensive now, just wait for the Government to seize assets.

You can always count on this old fool to eff things up.

Good thing I don’t need to go anywhere in particular.

I’m going to have to start the truck just to keep the seals oiled.

What is the “Time of war” crap. Steny Hoyer used it to, about criticizing the president ”when we are at war.” These jerkwaters are trying to make Biden look like a “wartime president” I guess. .

Brandon is too stupid/evil to realize/care about the fact that this move incentivizes the oil companies to produce *even less* energy.

“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!”

You forgot about making it almost impossible to plan, build, or operate an oil refinery.

Here comes Directive 10-289

Everything Joe Biden touches, he turns to shit. $10/gal gas? Nope. Way higher.

“at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”

Funny

Free Republic’s resident neocons believe we are at war too.

And I’m CERTAIN the USSC does not believe it.

I thought his anti-price gouging bill took care of this.

President Alzheimer’s seems to be fond of violence. Lot’s of violent talk, pushing for a war, supporting the assassination of a SCOTUS judge.
