When you give us a real link for Biden's depletion and replenishment of the SPR.

Toddster does not give you the whole story. From his own source, we read the following
"In fact, the reserve still holds 351 million barrels — equivalent to nearly 56 days of total U.S. oil imports last year — though well below the peak of 727 million barrels it held during the Obama administration. That’s on top of 424 million barrels that private companies were storing in the U.S. as of early October.
The administration has defended its handling of the reserve, saying it still holds ample crude to protect the nation’s strategic needs and offer a cushion against price shocks. “I am not worried about the reserve levels at all,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told a House committee in September, adding: “It is the largest strategic reserve in the world.”
And the U.S. is no longer the energy beggar it was in 1973, when the Yom Kippur War prompted an Arab oil embargo against the United States that sent prices spiraling and left Americans waiting in hours-long lines at gas pumps. Back then, U.S. oil production was dropping while its thirst for the fuel was rising — prompting Congress to pass a law in 1975 to create the reserve.
Five decades later, the United States is the world’s biggest oil producer, which exports more crude and petroleum products than it imports. Its output is at record highs and is climbing, even as demand has flattened.
He is not even mediocre at this type of attack. His source contradicts him mightily.
And yet President Potato Head STILL hasn't replaced the oil that he took out of the Strategic Oil Reserves! Why is that, G5000?Drill, baby, drill!
The U.S. is pumping oil faster than ever. Republicans don’t care.
The GOP narrative has a major hole: U.S. oil production — already the highest in the world — is on track to set a new record this year, and will probably rise even more in 2024. But the ever-increasing flow of U.S. crude has failed to keep a lid on gasoline prices, showing once again that a global market drives the fuel prices that shape presidents’ political futures.
And that means events far beyond the nation’s borders will play a sizable role in voters’ verdict on “Bidenomics” — as global oil prices rise and fall in response to banking conditions in Europe, China’s slumping real estate market, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine and the latest maneuvers by Saudi Arabia.

U.S. oil production is forecast to average an all-time high of 12.8 million barrels a day this year and keep growing to 13.1 million in 2024, the federal Energy Information Administration said in its latest forecast.
This reality has not stopped dishonest Republicans from lying:
In one campaign ad, former Vice President Mike Pence pretends to fill his pickup truck and blames Biden’s energy policy for “causing real hardship” for Americans, while ex-South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has vowed to bring oil production back to the United States.
And Sen. Tim Scott (R.-S.C.) railed last month on the Biden administration, which he asserted “has shut down energy production in America.”
“Why won’t this President tap into our abundant energy resources here at home and bring down prices at the pump?” he asked.
In fact, though, oil production from federal lands and waters has risen on Biden’s watch, reaching past 3 million barrels per day last year. The high mark during President Donald Trump’s term was 2.75 million barrels a day.
Trump depleted by over 425 million barrels and did not replace it.
Neither did Trump who also depleted the Strategic Oil Reserves for no reason other than to bankrupt US oil drillers killing US oil production for years. Why didn't Trump replace the oil when the price was negative????And yet President Potato Head STILL hasn't replaced the oil that he took out of the Strategic Oil Reserves! Why is that, G5000?

And Biden continues to drill more than Trump and replenish the SRP. Once your "proof" exploded, you ran away.Did you ever find your link to support this claim?

Trump did deplete the SPR. Biden is building it back up. Don't deny the truth.
The US is producing at all time levels.
The SPR is being built up, yes.
The US is pumping oil at all an all time high with other pumping capcity coming on line.
Toddster does not know what to say.
Your deflection is an admission you have failed.The SPR is being built up, yes.
How much build up this year?
How much scheduled next year?
Your deflection is an admission you have failed.
When did Trump deplete the SOR?Neither did Trump who also depleted the Strategic Oil Reserves for no reason other than to bankrupt US oil drillers killing US oil production for years. Why didn't Trump replace the oil when the price was negative????
