Biden has been selling oil all year, it’s about time people woke up.

It’s so depressing what is happening to this country. Makes me want to turn off the news and live in blissful ignorance.

Exactly right.

Well we won’t need that when we’re all driving electric vehicles. /s

or riding bicycles, walking, taking the electric bus.

The geniuses at WashPo chime in,
Biden should tap the SPR ‘ to show he cares”
Because utilizing strategic energy assets is about feelings.

But wait, was Joe supposed to tap the SPR and ship it to Asia?
Looking for more details on the customers…

I’d like to go back to my original idea. Give the oil to Cuba as needed. The oil would last a long time given their economic state now. That would be strategic. They just have to get rid of the communists. Biden is proving there’s nothing strategic about the reserve. We could at least prime the economic pump in Cuba’s new way. Donated old Ford Fiestas and Rangers would lock them into our auto companies. Elbow out anyone who saw fit to deal with the Communists and undermine us like the rinos do. It would take a DJT to reward friends and punish enemies.

But then you’ll never know when everything collapses. I have my popcorn out when watching news.

To determine if a particular action by ol’ poopypants is likely, one must first determine if the action is bad for the country

Biden is NOT in charge. It is Obama’s America hating crew.

Drain the Petroleum Reserve, cut off external sources, drive energy prices through the roof ushering in the age of electric cars for elites. The others can walk or ride bikes.

Don’t touch the reserves. Instead, reopen the pipelines and wells. A real shame that we’ve gone from a net exporter to a begging importer in less than a year. Great job Joe.

Shouldn’t he be thanking Trump for filling it when crude was $10/barrel?

I’m sure the DoE is on top of it.

We need to flush the stuff out every few decades anyway.

Just like administrations and regimes.

Xi needs oil for winter, and SloJo needs his 10%.

And Obama needs his destruction of America in fundamental change to a crony Communist criminal cartel utopia.

I wouldn’t put it past him. If it’s harmful to Americans, that’s exactly what his puppetmasters will have him do. Especially if it undoes something good that Trump did.
