Already soaring gas prices could reach $7 a gallon, one expert warns

I do understand and my comments are consistent with that. If not please explain why. I will own it if you can make me understand that I am somehow wrong.

I really don't know how to explain it any simpler than I already have. I have laid it out for you with sources. But I will try.

2020: High supply = lower demand = lower prices.

2020: Trump gets OPEC and Russia to agree to reduce supply for two years and agrees to cut US production at the same time. (If you don't believe it, there are tweets where he boasted about this.)

Lower supply with increased demand (coming out of the pandemic) = higher prices.

2022. We are still in that two year agreement.
 
Republicans were behind the push to cut off Russian oil imports but we know they aren't honest brokers. I bet you'll never highlight this point.

"There’s been some discussion, as Congress and the White House had kicked around the idea of the ban, as to whether Republicans were “laying a trap” for Democrats.
“They’re demanding he take actions that will raise gasoline prices,” Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell wrote this week, “with obvious plans to attack him politically after the prices rise.”




This was a tough spot for Biden. Stopping the import of Russian oil was the right thing to do (even though it will have very little effect on Russia). Congress was likely going to do it themselves if Biden didn't, and then the repubs would say he was weak. He was going to lose on this one no matter what. I am happy he did the right thing.

But yes, we know how republicans operate. They vote against stimulus and infrastructure, and then go back to their districts to take credit for them.

You are over estimating the impact of the bolded move in 2020. None of that agreement was binding to any of the nations and situations change. Everything going on now is squarely on China Joe and the dirty dems.

Dont blame me. I voted for Trump!!

REPORT: Democrats Met With Oil Execs Last Year And Pressured Them To Decrease Output Over Climate Change​

Democrats are not trying to fix the problem of high gas prices, they’re trying to transform the country to green energy.
They’re so obsessed with climate change that they even had a meeting with oil executives last year and pressured them to decrease output.
Imagine how different things might be now if they had not done this.

How Dems Helped Spike Gas Prices
Despite reassurances from the White House that it is doing nothing to discourage oil companies from opening new drill sites, President Joe Biden’s allies in Congress just months ago pressured oil executives to decrease outputs because of climate change, raising questions about the Democratic Party’s strategy to lower prices for consumers.
In late October, for example, the House Oversight and Reform Committee called in the CEOs of Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron to explain what steps they are taking to produce less oil and gas, with Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) alleging that “the world can’t wait” any longer. At the time, gas prices were hovering around a 10-year high.
The hearing has gained new relevance as a global gas shortage has pushed prices to an all-time high. Prices are rising even more due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with no sign of falling after Biden’s announcement that the United States will no longer accept Russian oil imports. Those facts have left Democrats scrambling for a solution before the November midterms as Republicans demand that the White House encourage domestic oil drilling operations.
Meanwhile, the price of gas just keeps going up.


The Democrats don’t want to solve this problem because they want people to use less gas.
This is all part of their plan.

of all the dogshit from the GWP that you have posted, this one is truly the largest pile. The content does not even support the allegation made in the headline.
 
If Trump did something that should cause every American to not support him, shouldn't that thing be illegal or something? I mean if someone did something of that caliber, you would think those actions would result in some sort of legal consequences, no? It's amazing to me that even people with sufficient intelligence to know better, talk like Trump not only orchestrated, planned and sent written directions on how to precede on Jan 6, but also was there telling them not just to protest, but yelling for them to storm the capital.
Also, Clinton and the democratic party colluded and lied to the govt and fisa court to try and take down a political rival. Somehow the country should be ok with that as well as their support for numerous riots that resulted in massive property loss, occupation of and destruction of federal buildings, and murder of innocent victims during said riots. Where is your outrage at those matters?

A couple of points...

The investigation into Jan 6th has been ongoing for less than a year. And it is being done by congress, who cannot by law bring "legal consequences". Trump and his band of traitors have been stonewalling at every turn. It is possible that the DOJ is investigating, we just don't know. In the end, Trump will likely face no consequences. He seems to be setting up his former attorney Eastman to be the fall guy. And, if Trump declares himself an official candidate, very likely the DOJ would not pursue charges against him. Trump and you would cry all day about it being political.

Let's turn your logic around on you. Durham has been investigating Clinton, the dems and anyone else trump has instructed him to go after since 2019 (3+ years). So far, he has brought charges against 3 people. One person got one year of probation. The other two are pending with one very likely charges will be dropped. So I ask you. Shouldn't Clinton's did something of the caliber you say, you would think those actions would have resulted in legal consequences, no? It's been 3+ years.

Just so I understand, you were against from whether it be republicans or democrats, the push for the cutoff of Russian oil to the U.S.?

I don't think cutting off Russia is a Democrat or Republican stance, it was the right decision period. But Republicans were pushing him hard to cut it off but will damn well use it against him for political reasons. It's already happening - even on this board.

I agree that it was right. Gas prices were high before the Russian cut off. (another debacle by this admin, but not to this discussion) I think both side knew prices would go up and to hold joe hostage for that would be the wrong thing to do, if he'd not hindered our chance to self sufficient of oil sooner than later, that's the argument and blame from the right side! See it how you want, but you know I'm right, but wish I wasn't.

You think I'll give you credit for being right about something? 😂
 

Two Years Ago Today Joe Biden Promised to End the US Oil Industry — Joe Kept That Promise and Today Gas Is $4.32 a Gallon​

Two years ago today, Joe Biden promised to end the oil industry in America:
“No more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends.”
This is one promise Joe and Democrats kept.
Gas is now $4.32 a gallon in the US.

Today we have the highest gas prices in history thanks to the lunatics in the Democrat Party. Rather than opening up the US energy sector Joe Biden is reaching out to Venezuela, Iran and OPEC to resolve our energy needs.
