This is treason. Biden is empowering Putin and endangering U.S. national security. GOP should say this. (Spoiler Alert: They won’t).

The actual purpose of the SPR is not to provide for military contingencies, but to give politicians a means of placating the public whenever gasoline prices get too high.

Obviously there is a strategic need to shore up Dem polling numbers in the six months before an election. /s

election year stunt. Surely, even the Republicans can point out that much.

That’s the total storage capacity.

Current inventory is not quite 570 million barrels.

This plan would deplete roughly 30% of that.

Motors are electric...

Undoubtedly, that is a reference to 'Motor-vehicle', used ubiquitously on 'driver's' licenese, RMV's and on tons of motor-vehicle paperwork.

You buy an automobile, but convert it, tacitly or knowingly, to a motor-vehicle by deeding it to the state. You do not own motor vehicles. Registry's of MV are engaged in commerce, under Admiralty contract law.

Instead of drilling in ANWR and opening up more drilling on federal land and starting work on the Keystone Pipeline, these morons are tapping into the emergency oil reserve which is supposed to be used for...emergencies.

Sad, but very, very true.

I would add “The purpose of the SPR is to buy votes in an election year.”

It really is a Public Relations show for Biden to “look like” he’s taking action. All these TV appeareances are just to show Americans Biden is at the wheel - at least look like it.

Only by the grace of God can we hope to survive until Bidens term is over and even then his people will remain in office for some time after. I’m not convinced US will recover unless our guys are already now preparing to clean up this mess.

No we won’t survive.

In fact, we might not make it to November at the rate they are going.

There has got to be a way to stop them. NOW!

So far, Brandon says ALL the pain at the pump is Putin’s fault. That’s right after he said he promised the American people he would be honest with them.
