Biden begging just to protect the Democrats in the midterms sure seems like an impeachable act as well as disgusting. IOW, screw the American people but help save the Democrats.
Saudi Arabia shrugged off pleas by White House officials to delay last week’s OPEC+ decision to slash oil production, with Riyadh viewing the demand as a ploy to “avoid bad news” until after the upcoming midterm elections, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
American officials cautioned the Saudi government that cutting oil production would weaken Washington’s already strained relationship with Riyadh, and that the US would interpret the move as the kingdom taking Russia’s side in its ongoing war on Ukraine, according to the newspaper, which cited unnamed sources.
Instead, the Saudi-led group of oil-producing nations announced it will slash output by 2 million barrels a day, causing a spike in the price of crude oil — with a rise in US gas prices expected to follow.

“Saudi Arabia[’s] … drastic cut in oil production, despite President Biden’s overtures to both countries in recent months, is a hostile act against the United States and a clear signal that they have chosen to side with Russia in its war against Ukraine,” said Reps. Tom Malinowski of New Jersey, Sean Casten of Illinois and Susan Wild of Pennsylvania in a joint statement. (Me: Then what is Biden's destruction of American energy production if not a "hostile act" against the American people?)
