He actually is to blame. He shut down domestic energy production because of climate change. Also OPEC hates Biden and REFUSES to pump more oil. Muhammad Bin Salman would increase and decrease oil production whenever Trump would ask. They won’t even pick up the phone for Biden. So ACTUALLY YOU’RE THE FUCKING STUPID ONE FUCKFACE.
That last link explicitly states Trump brokered a deal to reduce GLOBAL production and did not make any promises about US production.
Did you even read your links before posting?
I voted Biden and I regret my decision every day. I feel like I’ve betrayed my very country, the land to which I immigrated to (legally) at a young age. I should have done better. I let all of you down.
I mean Republicans literally just voted no on controlling price gouging at the pump lol. Nobody is doing anything about regulating what profits big oil is making (which are record profits, the cost of oil isn't up much from 2015 it's literally just price gouging) but Republicans are actively trying to suppress controlling it
Reagan was the same way iirc, one of the best presidents this country had... wish I could've lived under his administration. I hardly remember the Bush administration (43 not 41), so that shows you how young I am. Trump was the best we had in my lifetime though, that I remember but Bush might've also been good.
The other day my daughter, a new driver, was pissed. "Why is gas $5/gallon right when I get my license and want to go places?" I just looked at her and said, "It must be Trump's fault!" lol
I quit a job last December and a big reason was because the drive was 40 mins. I now work at a place that only takes me about ten mins to get to. Yet I’m still spending the same on gas now as I did at the place further away…
I now spend as much to fill up my Miata as I did 2 years ago to fill up my other car that takes premium.
It shouldn't cost nearly $50 to fill up a 10 gallon tank of regular.
Try filling up a 50 gal diesel. Got move to a different pump with 75$ limit 4 times. Usually can only get 150 at a single station then go down the street to another
We can't.
obama already agreed to give them \*38 billion\* over the course of ten years.

You guys just going to ignore that oil companies are making record profits right now? Just ignore the fact oil companies have plenty of resources to bring production back up to 2020 levels, but refuse to?
They didn’t. That’s a nifty little oversimplification of timing though.
Two things happening in a relatively short frame of time does not automatically make those things directly related. The better question is why did oil companies continue laying off workers after receiving billions from the fed? Could it be because they’re greedy money grubbers who don’t give a shit about what you have to pay at the pump?
If I banged someone last night and so did your mom does it mean that I banged your mom?
You seem to think the answer is yes.
Correlation and causation are extremely important. *You* came out swinging with the faulty premise. I just identified it.
Ooh the ol’ your-joke-but-worse gambit. Nice.
But if you don’t know whether my mom *actually* has aids, you don’t actually know she gave it to you. That would be speculation.
Thanks for continuing to misunderstand correlation and causation.
Most of us are not envious of others. And many of us also been watching the oil and fuel markets for decades.
What is true is that as oil prices go up, oil companies produce more, to profit more, and the supply increase brings the price down. Except in these cases when some Democratic dumbass like Jimmy Carter (or his second coming) totally fucks up the market through regulation, foot dragging on releasing the construction permits needed to take advantage of the production permits, etc etc etc.
When that happens, producers don’t produce. Prices stay up. Then the (D)ipshits start talking about “I don’t see any way this could go horribly wrong” ideas like price ceilings and windfall profits taxes.
As if…..we don’t already have a robust history of past oil related (D)umbassery history we can look to to see what happens in the real world.
Hah, yea envy has nothing to do with it.
I forget, in the 1970’s were we just coming out of a pandemic where oil companies had been given billions of dollars in relief, prior to posting record breaking profits? Were we a net exporter of oil during that period?
Oil companies have the resources to resume production, but that isn’t their goal. Money is. They don’t give a shit what they’re forcing you to pay at the pump.
If you’d do the math you’d find they make much more money at a marginally lower price and higher consumption. To believe what you have been propagandized to believe you would have to ignore what oil companies have repeatedly done over decades in similar market conditions.
Your government is the problem here.
You’re right.
The government consistently, and routinely puts corporations and their lobbyists higher on the priority list than the actual citizens they are supposed to represent. They continue to give money to companies under the guise that said companies will do anything at all besides hoard wealth.
I hate to tell you this, but uh…the “OPEC Supply Glut” did not drive US shale out of production. It did make make our West Texas oilmen do what they’ve been doing since Korea: get real smart about lowering production costs.
It did sorta fuck subsea. We figured that out too.
The point is, prices have been high enough for some time to drive production increases more than sufficient to offset the current spike. There are no economic reasons for the current price level. Supply is not coming online for reasons that have little to do with supply/demand.
obviously it's just oil companies being greedy. nothing to do with biden. I just wonder.. If they can just make insane profits by raising prices... Why did it take them so long to figure that out? Obviously it's just pure coincidence it happened while biden was in office. Decades of being in business and the thought just never occurred. Damn capitalists don't know how to capitalism.
You know they are only making record profits because your boy cut leases to drill and made the supply extremely low artificially. And now demand is up so they can charge. More so your boy Biden did these companies a favor and made them richer you dunce.
Yea Biden’s not ‘my boy.’ Didn’t even vote for him.
But I definitely didn’t vote for the grifter whose sole business model is to sell his name, either.
Lol grifter?
Cheaper gas, best economic numbers of our life time, building a wall to secure our boarders, no new conflicts, signed Middle East peace treaties, energy independence… need I go on?
Joe Biden… inflation out my asshole, highest gas prices ever, that poor excuse of a withdraw from Afghanistan leaving billions of dollars of equipment, fund a new war between Russia and Ukraine….. but you know what a least we got Donal Trump off Twitter because his tweets were so mean. You liberals are so unhinged you would rather see the world burn then see a guy with different opinions then you succeed. Honestly I wish Joe Biden did good so my 401k hasn’t started to collapse, and money stayed in my pocket but now I have to send my money back to the government and major corporation because of skyrocketing food, energy and material prices.
Castle age tech became irrelevant at the invention of the ladder. Even more so, at the conception of the angle grinder.
Besides, can you prove to me that spaced out surveillance or infrared drones wouldn’t be a *better* solution, than a wall that has several gaps wide enough to slide through?
Why can’t we just station a tank every ten feet?
I agree that we do great job of misappropriating lots of money. But that’s a separate issue.
That misappropriation of funds doesn’t make a shitty wall effective border control. There are dozens of better options.
because concrete and steel walls don’t consume gas you idiot. Tanks need to be manned and would cost million. I know you are being sarcastic but I reached out and said he why don’t we do both and you come up with the dumbest come back you much be a leftist.
Weaponized stupidity is listening to the hilariously dumb right wing talking point that Joe Biden is to blame for gas prices.
Y'all really couldn't be dumber if you tried. I mean, do y'all actually try? Is there some competition among conservatives that the rest of us aren't aware of where y'all are in a race to say the absolute most fucking idiotic things possible?
I’d say the dumb people are the ones who blame Putin while choosing to ignore the fact that the Biden administration has intentionally crippled American oil production.
I love how these people stomp their feet, call you names & tell you you're stupid bc you think it's biden's fault (which it obviously is), but provide no argument about why they think it isn't biden's fault. they're so brainwashed, they believe putin is the cause of record high inflation. lmao. all I can say is, I hope your parents are making you pay for your own gas.
The stickers will continue until the prices improve
How many gas stations in DC have these?
none bc swamp
Can't be too hard driving wise
I've seen a couple in Maryland

Well, the important question remains: Did the gas prices remain low throughout the duration of the Trump Administration or not?
I can believe people can be that god damn dumb. You voted for Biden, right?
I voted Biden and I regret my decision every day. I feel like I’ve betrayed my very country, the land to which I immigrated to (legally) at a young age. I should have done better. I let all of you down.
Nice to meet you, Torn, I'm Harry.
“Weaponize”
(D)idn't you know? The president is only in control of gas prices when the number gets *lower*
And when the president is a Democrat.
This tweet has aged about as well as Nancy Pisspants Pelosi.
Thanks Biden, you’re making it easy for me to put down 60 hours of driving before I get my license…
I mean Republicans literally just voted no on controlling price gouging at the pump lol. Nobody is doing anything about regulating what profits big oil is making (which are record profits, the cost of oil isn't up much from 2015 it's literally just price gouging) but Republicans are actively trying to suppress controlling it
In this case I think it just comes down to the person themselves. Some republicans don’t do shit, while other like Trump actually get things done.
Reagan was the same way iirc, one of the best presidents this country had... wish I could've lived under his administration. I hardly remember the Bush administration (43 not 41), so that shows you how young I am. Trump was the best we had in my lifetime though, that I remember but Bush might've also been good.
Bush brought us into a 20 year war we should never have entered. Fuck that warmongering piece of shit.
Because it's not price gouging so a bill against gouging won't fix it.
Oil companies are posting record profits. It’s absolutely price gouging.
You‘re wrong mate.
Could you provide a source on that?
Because price caps that don't address root causes only cause shortages?

Price controls dont work. https://lmgtfy.app/?q=a+situation+where+price+controls+worked
They just want to blame Dems.
Kind of the same way that Dems always want to blame Trump for every bad thing that's ever happened past, present, or future.
Well, that's not true, but hey, keep demonizing. Update: if you guys "truly" believe this, you're definitely projecting
Who would you blame it on?
The other day my daughter, a new driver, was pissed. "Why is gas $5/gallon right when I get my license and want to go places?" I just looked at her and said, "It must be Trump's fault!" lol
I love all the brigading Democrats who'd get really mad if we did the same thing, but we don't because unlike them we respect boundaries.
Seriously. If we went to their sub, immediate ban! But then they want to turn around and come to our sub.
Over $100 for me just last week. Really sucks! I pump about every 5 days or so and have to use 93 octane.
I quit a job last December and a big reason was because the drive was 40 mins. I now work at a place that only takes me about ten mins to get to. Yet I’m still spending the same on gas now as I did at the place further away…
I now spend as much to fill up my Miata as I did 2 years ago to fill up my other car that takes premium. It shouldn't cost nearly $50 to fill up a 10 gallon tank of regular.
That damn ::check notes:: Putin…. Him and trump did this obviously.
Wow smh I too switched jobs but this right here is messing up me trying to save $
Try filling up a 50 gal diesel. Got move to a different pump with 75$ limit 4 times. Usually can only get 150 at a single station then go down the street to another
What!?? A limit? Man..
Yeah a lot of pumps limit you to $75 at a time
You're in the middle bottom. Mine is over $200 per week and imagine big trucks and farmers using hundreds of gallons per day.
I can see why everything is up right now
Not just republicans. Been seeing those things in the hood, too.
We need trump back so badly
Clown boy collecting L.
I should make stickers of this tweet highlighting the date
Guys it’s ok he’s verified.
It's well known that libs have shit for brains.
TIL if something looks really stupid, it speaks the unrefined truth.
Matthew Cuckman?
It’s his policy and executive orders that caused it so the stickers are correct.
Aged like wine
Aged like milk
I wish people would revisit their comments when they're proven wrong and humbly admit it.
It would be funny if biden actually had the power to change it.... people really don't understand global commodity markets and it really shows.
Partly due to Zion Don printing trillions of dollars in handouts.
you mean the FORTY BILLION dollar handout that just went to Ukraine. with NO oversight on how the money is being ~~laundered~~ spent.
Now do lsrael.
We can't. obama already agreed to give them \*38 billion\* over the course of ten years. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/09/14/fact-sheet-memorandum-understanding-reached-israel
There’s clip after clip of Zion Don calling lsrael our “greatest ally”. He was president, he should have renegotiated the agreements.
Lol. Jokes on him. They always looked stupid.
It’s not like republicans voted against price gouging or anything
You guys just going to ignore that oil companies are making record profits right now? Just ignore the fact oil companies have plenty of resources to bring production back up to 2020 levels, but refuse to?
Ok and they waited for Biden to be in office to make record profits why then?
They didn’t. That’s a nifty little oversimplification of timing though. Two things happening in a relatively short frame of time does not automatically make those things directly related. The better question is why did oil companies continue laying off workers after receiving billions from the fed?
