How Politifact got it so wrong when they said Biden was right gas price increases due to Putin!

[Toddsterpatriot]

Just mad that Biden is masterfully using the war in Ukraine as a political tool to defend himself from criticism.

It's not working.

Hey, how's Biden's Q1 GDP?

• The importation into the United States of Russian crude oil and certain petroleum products, liquefied natural gas, and coal. Last year, the U.S. imported nearly 700,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia and this step will deprive Russia of billions of dollars in revenues from U.S. drivers and consumers annually.

“Make no mistake: The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin.”

PolitiFact - How much blame does Putin deserve for high gasoline prices?

Now for the FACTS!!!
1) When did Biden stop Russian oil importation?
Today, March 8, 2022... President Biden will sign an Executive Order (E.O.) to ban the import of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal to the United States – a significant action with widespread bipartisan support that will further deprive President Putin of the economic resources he uses to continue his needless war of choice.
Hmmm... If stopped 14 months after Biden took office... why did gas prices go up from $2.506..
1/20/20 gas price was Weekly U.S. Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices (Dollars per Gallon)

View attachment 637936
3/1/22 When Biden stopped Russian oil importation... gas prices $4.102/gal...
Hmmm...
Biden took office 1/27/20 gas $2.506/gallon
Biden stops Russian 3/8/22 gas $4.239/gallon
Hmmm.. Thats a $1.72 or 69% gas increase BEFORE THE RUSSIAN EMBARGO WAS EVEN SIGNED!
Would someone explain where Biden came up with this statement:
"The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin.”

The US increased Russian oil imports in 2017 when Trump put sanctions on Venezuela.

Trump calls on Russia and Saudi Arabia to cut oil production

Data released by the federal Energy Information Administration this week showed gasoline demand in the U.S. plummeting and oil inventories surging.

You know Gas Prices are based on Oil Prices...

Oil Prices are based on speculation of what future supply and demand is going to be..

Russia started their build up on the border in April '21 and increased again in Oct '21....

For people who proclaim that the Market will decide, you know fuck all how a market operates...

That's awful!!!

[CowboyTed]

I've been on this board for almost 10 years and during that time I don't remember any member making a comment like this" Thank you for your substantiation. It has provided me with more information that has
altered my perceptions, especially regarding the biased MSM."
This post is a perfect example. I'm showing how Biden has lied about gas prices being the fault of Putin.
When in reality one of many reasons for higher gas prices is HIS moratorium on Federal land exploration.
Federal lands provide at least 24% of the nation's oil and gas.
FACT:Biden banned in just 7 days from taking office, the exploration on land that produces 24% of our nation's oil/gas! https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R42432
But so far not one member that have an opposite point of view (POV) i.e. "Biden is not to blame for gas prices " have admitted to the truth that the FACTS and substantiations and links I've provided counter their POV.
Speaks volumes about some people's honesty, integrity and desire for the truth!

We have explained this at length...

Oil Global commodity... US doesn't own a drop that if discovered in US... The multinational does...

There is no such thing as Oil or Energy independent unless the US Government nationalises all Oil Production.....

So stop with the crap..

True... based on oil prices.
Tell me what YOU would do....if....
So Biden is either lying or telling the truth in the following 3 statements:
"I want you to look into my eyes, I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels”
And wants to throw oil executives into jail... “we should put them in jail” when talking about fossil fuel executives.

Joe Biden on fossil fuel executives: 'We should put them in jail!'

Joe Biden said Sunday that fossil fuel executives should be jailed - but failed to mention that his son was on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas firm.

The royalty rate for new leases will increase to 18.75% from 12.5%. That's a 50% jump and marks the first increase to royalties for the federal government since they were imposed in the 1920s.

Biden increases oil royalty rate and scales back lease sales on federal lands

The U.S. government will sharply boost royalty rates for companies as federal officials weigh efforts to fight climate change against pressure to bring down high gasoline prices.

www.npr.org

So oil company workers can look at 3 statements and actions by Biden and wonder what their future is and therefore why should they work any more?
1) He wants to throw them in jail.
2) He wants to eliminate fossil fuels. Put them out of business. Make them unemployed.
3) He raises the cost of finding oil on Federal lands as well as halting the leasing of federal lands.

What would you do if your industry was told it was going to be obsolete, people put in jail and the cost is going up?

I at least provide LINKS supporting my statements... YOU? Expect us JUST to believe YOU???
TALK ABOUT CRAP!!!
Do some work! Some intelligent effort! ENOUGH OF YOUR GUESSES!

Yeah, and what does that have to do with President Potatohead's EOs that have cut over 2MM barrels of crude per day out of production right here?

ORLY?

Then what's with all the leftist claptrap about "not buying Putin's oil" if it's all just put into one big global pool?

You don't get it both ways.

 

[White 6]

We've never gotten even 10% from Russia that I am aware of. Gas went up a lot more than 10% before the Russian attack to take over Ukraine, but is now actually dropping slowly.

Right, Frank. More going on than meets the eye or finger pointing.

My apologies to the mods since I have posted the following a number of times in response to lies regarding Biden's degree of responsibility for high gas prices.

In Nov. 2021 satellite images showed an ongoing buildup of Russian forces near Ukraine with estimates soon surpassing 100K troops deployed.
On 11/30/21 WTI crude was $65.73 a barrel.
In Dec. Russia started making demands on NATO, like never letting Ukraine join. World leaders, and oil speculators, became convinced Putin would invade.
By 1/1/22 WTI was at $77.00.
Between 1/1/22 and 2/23/22 the price of oil climbed to $91 on invasion fears.
On 2/24/22 Putin launched the invasion and oil immediately spiked to a little over $120.

So......from 11/30/21 to 2/24 22 the price jumped from around $66 to just over $120. Exactly what Biden policy caused the jump in such a short period of time..................considering there are ample oil leases and permits for oil companies to use if they wanted to increase production?

Check out OIL's stock price (@CL.1) in real time

The answer..........it wasn't due to Biden. Repubs are cynically preying on the anger and ignorance of those paying $5 at the pump to gain a political advantage for the upcoming midterms.

 

[surada]

Yeah, and what does that have to do with President Potatohead's EOs that have cut over 2MM barrels of crude per day out of production right here?

Libya, Nigeria and Iraq have also cut production.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's outrageous!!!

Only dems are allowed to prey on the anger and ignorance of voters!!!

What's your prediction? Will dems lose 50 House seats? More?

 

[Oddball]

Libya, Nigeria and Iraq have also cut production.

What does that have to do with what's going on here?....Besides NOTHING.

 

[healthmyths]

Libya, Nigeria and Iraq have also cut production.

Even more reason these statements by BIDEN have contributed to $5.00/gal gas!
FACTS that Biden has said and I can't believe if you were part of this industry you would be pulling back ALSO!
