[struth]

Never happened.

Sigh, you dembots are so uninformed

Biden Sells Oil to China from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve

It is not enough that China is buying Russian oil at a discount due to western sanctions put on Russia…

Deflecting for massa Trump, Biden isn't the damn president.

Correct hence why he won’t be selling it off to China

Keep up

 

[struth]

Making it up as you go, I know you hate the fact that we see you running to defend massa Trump. That's hilarious, a buck dancing boot licker trying to claim someone kissing white folks ass.

I noticed your weak ass didn't comment on the 168 children that were killed when a bomb was dropped on a children's school and then your massa lied about it.

What is it you think I made up? Your post are on here for us all to see

What was there to comment on? It’s tragic, the people of Iran have suffered a lot under their regime. It’s pretty obvious they put a school beside a HQ for the your pals in the terrorist organization know as the revolutionary guard on purpose

Republicans criticized President Biden for draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to lower gas prices ahead of the 2022 midterms. Now President Trump is going to do the same thing by releasing 172 million barrels of oil to help lower prices ahead of the 2026 midterms.

During an interview Wednesday with WKRC Local 12 in Cincinnati, Trump was asked about tapping the reserve and said, “Well, we’ll do that and then we’ll fill it up.”
He added, “Right now we’ll reduce it a little bit, and that brings the prices down.” He didn't specify in that interview how many barrels of oil the U.S. would release.
Trump frequently criticized the administration of Joe Biden for tapping the reserve to try and bring down gas prices.

The news release from the DOE is even more dammning.

Remember how the MAGA loons always beat their chest about making Europe pay their fair share for NATO (even though most already did...they just don't spend 1/2 their federal budget on defense like we do) ?

Looks like we actually are on the short end of this stick too:

WASHINGTON—U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright released the following statement regarding the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR):

“Earlier today, 32 member nations of the International Energy Agency unanimously agreed to President Trump’s request to lower energy prices with a coordinated release of 400 million barrels of oil and refined products from their respective reserves.

"As part of this effort, President Trump authorized the Department of Energy to release 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, beginning next week. This will take approximately 120 days to deliver based on planned discharge rates.

=====

So of the 400M barrels that 32 member nations decided to release...we're doing almost half of it? Does that sound like "america first" to you? bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Godboy]

Oil production under Biden was breaking all time records

Yes, that is TRUE! You are however conveniently leaving out the part where they only started cranking out oil right before the election. August of 2024 was Bidens record oil production. So they didnt give a shit for 4 years, right up until they knew it was going to cost them politically.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

What is it you think I made up? Your post are on here for us all to see.

Yes, they are, so give me 3 posts where I am defending Biden. All you bring is deflection and lies trying to defend your massa.

What was there to comment on? It’s tragic,

Oh, it's tragic, if the roles were reversed you damn sure wouldn't be calling it a tragedy.

the people of Iran have suffered a lot under their regime.

The regime didn't murder these children.

It’s pretty obvious they put a school beside a HQ for the your pals in the terrorist organization know as the revolutionary guard on purpose.

Oh, now it's their fault that we blew up a school full of children. My pals, how the hell did they get to be my pals? Explain that boot licker.

Domestically produced oil shouldn't be exported anyway.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Biden sold off the reserves at high prices, and replaced them when the price fell, making an enormous profit for the US Treasury.

I doubt that Trump will be smart enough to do the same.

Hahahahaaa. You’ll fall for anything.

 

[toobfreak]

Now President Trump is going to do the same thing by releasing 172 million barrels of oil

FWIW, I'd estimate that to be enough crude to make enough gasoline to give about 50 million drivers about two good size car tank fulls (50 gallons?), enough to drive about 600 highway miles, or about 1,500,000,000,000,000,000 linear miles total at a reduced cost.

 

[Mac-7]

It makes up for the 20% coming from the Persian Gulf.

No, it does not even come close to replacing 20% from yhe Gulf

 

[martybegan]

Sickening, isn't it?

It's unAmerican to not privatise profit and not socialise risk.

It's called over-regulation, you ******* idiot.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So far the beneficiaries of this war are Saudi Arabia (the guys that killed thousands of Americans on 9/11), Israel, and Russia.

It's called over-regulation, you ******* idiot.

It's called laissez faire and a golden age, you eternal simp.

 

[jknowgood]

How is he lying, numbnuts.

Why would you ask questions, your inferior to us. Your leaders say so and you agree with them. So move along and let the adults talk.

Biden did it for political reasons after his war on oil drive up the price

Because they have regulation, simp.

Over-regulation, which is why they are losing refining capacity.

Why not? We likely will not need more than a few days. The straits will be open soon.
