It's funny how the left is absolving Biden of any blame or responsibility, yet whenever any negative event occurred under Trump's watch, it was "on his watch and the buck stops there". Unless, of course, the event was positive, then it was due to Obama's actions that were carried over into the Trump administration. The left should be ashamed of their hypocrisy, but I won't hold my breath.

Just don’t read venues that report real live problems.

We have a Secretary of Energy with a Law degree and degree in Political Scuence & French.
She only cares about the Green New Deal & has stated “Fossil Fuels need to stay in the ground.”

We have a Secretary of .Transportation who was a small town Mayor with basically the same viewpoint.

Not exactly a Team that understands Pipelines or how they keep the cars, buses, trains & planes moving.

Sorry Ohio, but it's not the only topic...... especially when someone inevitably parrots the "Presidents don't have anything to do with gas prices" nonsense , when they most certainly can influence them.

The post I was responding to put no parameters on their claims.

Just "by Monday it will be closed pumps or long lines".

You didn't say "In North Carolina" or "in areas served by the Colonial pipeline".

Don't blame your lazy verbiage on me. I can't read your mind, I can only respond to what you actually post.

Ummmm.... gas prices around my area were very cheap nearly the entire time Trump was president. Before than they were higher. And since February, they are through the roof. This pipeline thing is only going to make it worse.

Now you may claim those changes in price were due to sunspots, but sorry... not buying it. It is not a coincidence. The people running the show in DC do have an impact on gas prices. Denying that is simply lying.

Same people that were involved in the hack probably invested in oil before hand. See fraudulent shell company (not Shell oil) oil investments from 2008.....
Is it the middle east? Is it our own Gov't/Congress? Who knows.

The people running the show probably invested in oil before this pipeline shutdown happened.
