For days, Republicans called for a ban on imports of Russian oil, a move that, while the right thing to do to counter Putin’s attack against Ukraine, would cause already high gas prices to rise even further. Biden did as Republicans wanted — and they responded by blaming his energy policies for spiking gas prices.
It’s not only that the charge is bogus — the current price of gas has virtually nothing to do with Biden’s energy policies — but that the Republican officials leveling it are sowing division at home and giving a rhetorical boost to the enemy at a perilous moment when national unity and sacrifice will be needed to prevail against Russia.
I don't support either party at all. But I see this as mid terms coming up. The GOP is worried that this Ukraine situation is going to help the Dems who otherwise seem to be on very shaky ground. So they have to blast Biden no matter what he does. Politics. A big reason why I don't support either party. Too many games.
My oh my. LMAO In his first week in office Biden did as he was bidden by his puppet masters and undid every single policy that Trump had implemented. Two biggies...immigration and ,wait for it, domestic energy. That very week here where I live gas spiked twice for a total of 75 cents per gallon increase. It has been trending upward since with one slight downward bump of 10 cents but the next week it had shot back up 20 cents.
And what did heand the Dems say? That we all needed to get electric cars. We are going green whether we like it or not. Impending doom from climate change would descend on us like Hells own fury if we didn't and the Joey Bidet puppet show and the neo Dems in Congress were going to save us from ourselves and force us off of fossil fuels.
And gas going into orbit had nothing to do with the Dems grabbing a razor thin majority in Congress and Biden sleazing into the WH? Ummm, no. You can't win. If Biden had left Trumps energy policies alone we could just offer a great big middle finger to Russia and their oil. We already had to OPEC but now their dancing in the streets (and palace courtyards) with glee. Yessir Abdul Shalama Lama Ding Dong Daddy needs a new gold plated 747.
With Biden on his knees begging to pay for it. This WP op ed is pure unadulterated SPIN.
You expect a lifelong loser who spent 47 years failing up in the government to start winning?
As for national unity and sacrifice, Brandon can go to hell. Brandon can pay out of pocket for all the gas he uses being driven around in his personal tank and the private 747 he flies around in.
Is this thread ignorance or stupidity or disingenuous?
Little bit of everything.
The OP counts on no one to notice that gas prices were headed up LONG before Biden banned Russian oil.
But we did notice. We noticed Biden banned oil on Mar 8 - THREE DAYS AGO!
OP is right - Republicans keep complaining about Biden's handling of the Ukraine situation, but I have yet to hear one offer a better solution. They say Biden is weak and not tough enough on Putin, yet none of them seem to eager for us to get into a war with Russia. They want him to stop the buying of Russian oil, yet are not willing to accept the sacrifice that comes with that decision.
