The sale looks superficially like an electioneering ploy...but look at the real implications-- it's all part of the ultimate agenda of selling us out to the CCP.

I agree.

Sell SPR, lower the price of gasoline for consumers, wherever they may be.

But that isn't what is happening. First, selling oil out of the SPR has little effect on the overall availability: it adds a drinking straw to a firehose.
Second, they never thought forward far enough to think of refilling: extremely near sighted.

Congress has been, since Jan 2007, largely controlled by the Left (even when the Republicans held the majority, since many of them are Leftist, also), which is beholden to the CCP. (Most are paid by the CCP, some indirectly, some directly. Others are in bed with them. Literally. )

What a hilariously convenient spin on the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Guess the after election buyback didnt help. We'd be better off if xoe stayed in the basement and stopped breaking things.
Okay that's funny, you get a rep for making me laugh.
Seriously, that's the only tool a president has to try and balance a free market. Haven't you ever had to go into your savings account to pay bills? We've all done that. That's what reserves are for. It's been done before.

The sales enacted by congress will NOT be refilled. The goal of the congressional sales is to reduce the volume of the SPR.
