I did, but it just proves that he is a crook and a liar. Biden promised many things when he ran but he didn't do a thing besides for hurting the economy. Biden wanted to please the libs so he shut the keystone and did many other stupid things, does Biden actually believe in renewable energy and saving the planet and all that shit? I highly doubt it, his actions prove otherwise. The WAPO and other left media sites are actually disappointed in Biden that he approved more drilling, since he promised otherwise, that is another reason why I'm not doubting it.

I've heard this argument before, I just don't understand how this would work. To me it seems like unwarranted fear. Biden although he shut down keystone has approved more drilling than during trump admin, the way I see it the oil companies have no solid grounds to fear that Biden would hurt them or shut them down or increase regulations. But again I'm not in their position, and Biden clearly caused a hostile environment in which big oil feels uncertain about increasing production, Biden is clearly somewhat to blame here, I was just hoping to see more a direct link between his actions and the supply issues were seeing. I also find that the republicans are a bit misleading when it comes to this.

It's not that simple. First off Biden and Psaki keep on repeating that there are 9000 permits to drill as we speak, the oil companies can ramp up production if they want, but they don't seem to care. This may be exaggerated but the point is that it's not completely Biden's fault that there is a gas supply issue, as the republicans would have us believe. As for Saudi oil, the fact is that production in Saudi is much cheaper than production in the US, according to the above article, Saudi oil is like 15 dollars a barrel, the cost of a barrel in texas are generally much higher. It's like the stuff we import from China, US can manufacture the same stuff, but China makes them for cheaper so we import from them.

Where did you see that? I did not see this in the news.

Nationalist, It's not just WAPO, there are so many sites that confirm this. Newsweek and Fox news also corroborate this. This is a known fact, just google it you'll see how many results you get (if you don't trust them then there's nothing I can do to convince you). Biden approved more drilling than Trump, as baffling as it may seem. Again you might be right that Biden made everyone anxious about new oil, so investors didn't want to invest that much and this somehow drove prices up. That may be true if you were talking about 2.99 per gallon, not the prices were seeing today. That I believe has mostly to do with Covid, when they slowed production, and the economy roared back (when ppl realized Covid lockdowns are a hoax) and they couldn't meet the need, I believe Trump would have had to deal with high prices as well, it was inevitable. Just look at the car industry, its a mess. The same goes for just about everything. Again, Biden is definitely not helping the gas and oil industry, if anything he's hurting them, but I still believe it is not fair to pin all blame on him. Especially with the keystone pipeline, I think the republicans come across foolish when they say that this is somewhat a cause for the prices were seeing today. There is simply no correlation between the two. There's plenty to blame biden for, he's done a lot of damage just in one year including inflation, this is simply not one of them.

I see this argument repeated over and over again by republicans, I'm just having a very hard time processing it. Generally there are two arguments by republicans how Biden is to blame for the current surge in gas prices. He shut down the keystone pipeline first day in office. he banned drilling on federal lands, further hindering production of natural gas. But both of these arguments don't hold any water. Don't get me wrong, I 100% agree that shutting it down was a bad idea, and I'm no Biden sympathizer, but we have to be honest: that pipeline wasn't going to produce anything before 2023, and it was only 8 percent done, so there is no correlation between keystone and the prices you're seeing today at the pump. As for ban on drilling federal property, according to Washington post and many others more drilling were approved during Biden's admin than during trump admin. I would love to blame Biden for this catastrophe, I just don't see how this is the case. Am I missing any info? Or is there something else I should be taking into account? I also used to believe that Brandon is responsible for this fiasco, but the more I read I see that it is simply not the case. Of course one can argue that Biden's policies changed the atmosphere of the oil industry which somehow led to this, but I'm looking for a direct link between his policies and the surge in prices. Anyone care to debate this?

Yes it was stolen, and I have a stash of evidence to prove it. There's just no one to listen. Even the supreme court turned him down. Talk about justice. What a hoax!
