#22  I've always liked the suggestion that: DeSantis as Prez, Trump elected to Speaker by Repub House, Cruz as AG.

#21  My one conundrum is how we can get Trump, DeSantis, and Cruz to work TOGETHER to drain the swamp and save the country.

#20  You, Sire, are a murderous figure of a contemptible cadre of conspirators who deserve nothing less than us arming and funding your declared enemies until you are rotting in a crow's cage. Don't fuck with me.

PS - please send oil

XOXOXO
Biden

#19  As I said yesterday, the sure seems like the Saudi's are voting Republican in the Mid-Terms!

#18  The part about working closer and closer to a shooting war is the time to dump the SPR for......an equivalent of 5 days respite.

A respite which isn't because there is no plan for day 6+. Just dumping SPR to be refilled at a later, more expensive date, driving down supply during that period (especially for an emergency fill) and prices up. More.

Good work DC. It's all Phil the Gas Station Manager's fault then.

#17  ^ There's no way flailing over gas prices will save the dems now. 4 weeks out.

#14  Trump and DeSantes should make a declaration that they find OPECs reduction to be hostile to the United States people and OPEC can expect future governments of the United States to remember.

Such a statement might get them to change their policy and might isolate them from charges that they influenced OPEC to hurt Biden (as Reagan was accused during Iran hostage crisis).

#13  Light crude is doing better as it is always more in demand.

#12  Oil prices haven't moved. WTI and Brent up 0.3%. Murban (Abu Dhabi) down 0.3%.

#11  Biden's handlers are the same Obama retreads who were bragging about wanting to raise gas prices to $8/gallon. They almost succeeded in California. The best thing citizens can do is punish the Democrats severely on November 8.

#10  groups say Biden has no choice but to come crawling back to domestic producers

What a ridiculous headline. Of course Biden has a choice: he can and will continue to be stupid.

The man and his cabinet are zealous fools. These are the people who came up with the retarded notion of an “oil price cap.”

These are the same people who say men can get pregnant, who jab themselves with a useless heave therapy that actually caused them to fall sick — and then they said they were glad they did so.

These are the lunatics who are pushing the world toward nuclear war.

Of course they have a choice, and they will choose to double and triple down on their foolish obsessions, all the way until we’re left staggering through the smoldering ruins.

#9  releasing 10 million barrels Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Dumb. It only pisses off the Saudis while the US doesn't have an emergency. Biden is already in the doghouse with them and only motivates them to decrease production on the sly.

#8  Most of the cuts will come from Russia. They can't move the oil produced even at $30/barrel discount they are selling to India and China. Prewar, the Russian government tariff on oil exports was $52/barrel. Less than half of oil income is now coming into the Russian treasury.

Old man winter and lack of western spare parts will make sure Russia takes the full 2M barrel cut and more.

#6  Biden FINALLY takes action to boost domestic oil by releasing 10 million barrels Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Tells companies to help bring down prices at the pump and threatens export curbs after OPEC slash
Posted by: Skidmark   2022-10-06 08:58  

#5  well, if oil prices do go over, say, $100/barrel again there will be a temptation by OPEC producers to cheat on their production quotas.

#4  Whatever choice Biden makes after this I guarantee will be the wrong one.

#2  That could easily be made up by ourselves except for the evil that now prevails in the District.

Green is the enemy of civilization and humanity.
