The official said the administration was closely monitoring the cost of oil and gasoline and "using every tool at our disposal to address anti-competitive practices in U.S. and global energy markets to ensure reliable and stable energy markets."

Using "every tool at our disposal" to stabilize energy markets...you know other than pushing for more domestic energy production.

Biden is also begging...my bad..."encouraging" oil producing countries to produce more energy.

Again why not just push for more domestic energy production? How the fuck does it "save the planet" to produce less oil here in the US and just import more of it from around the world, most countries which do not have nearly the amount of environmental protection laws that we do.

I hope you all enjoyed those paltry stimulus checks, if you haven't already pissed it all away on higher gas and food prices you will soon enough.

I’m confused, before you said that the Biden administration is 100% responsible for the rise in oil prices, now you are saying Biden is encouraging other oil producing countries to increase production, when according to you, they have nothing to do with the price of oil in the states, and it’s only Biden that is responsible.

Which is it?

[Tgo01]

when according to you, they have nothing to do with the price of oil.

When the fuck did I say that?

All of your post on pages 384, 385 and 386 are you pointing the blame right on Biden and his administration saying they are the only reason gas and oil prices are up. I asked you for evidence to show that Biden and his administration are solely responsible and you provided a comment from the blaze regarding it, saying this is your trusted source.

You mean those posts where I never said other countries couldn't contribute to higher gas prices? Okay.

If Russia were to stop selling oil tomorrow it would have a huge impact on oil prices. You know what Biden could do in response? He could help to boost domestic production, it might not make up for what Russia is no longer exporting but it sure as shit would help.

Biden can do a lot to help lower oil prices but he chooses to do the exact opposite, that is what I am blaming him for and no amount of revisionist history or strawmanning from you is going to change that.

No, you said Biden and his administration are SOLEY responsible for the rise in gas/oil prices. I asked you directly to provide evidence of this claim which you happily did, I even repeated it “can you provide data or evidence to support your claim that Biden and his administration are solely responsible” and you did.

[Solkern]

Ok, so please show me any evidence or data(not an opinion piece), that directly show Biden and the democrats are the ones solely responsible for the rise in gas prices.

Your direct reply

Earlier this year Biden already placed a moratorium on new oil fields on federal land which accounts for something like 30% of all US energy production. He has also reinstated many of the regulations that Trump rolled back.

Do you really need an "expert" to tell you that less oil being produced and more costly regulations on oil producers is going to lead to an increase in price? You did graduate high school and understand simple supply and demand economics right?

How about YOU start providing some sources? Show me those sources that say hurricanes or more people driving is to blame yet when Trump was president the economy was booming and people were driving a lot AND we had hurricanes too? Show me the sources for why people driving and hurricanes cause gas prices to shoot up under Biden but hardly had an impact while Trump was president?

Oh yeah and I demand the source be from The Blaze, you know a trustworthy site.

Now you are trying to say that’s not the case and other countries do have an influence on prices?

Your direct reply

You shitting me? You claim -I- said Biden was "solely" responsible for the price of oil and as proof you quote YOUR OWN POST where YOU used the word "solely"?

No wonder you're always accusing me of lying and twisting other peoples' words. Talk about big time projection.

Also yeah no where in my reply to you did I suggest Biden was solely responsible for cost of oil. I said then and I'm saying now that he has made the problem worse when he could be making the problem better. OPEC tried this same shit of cutting back production while Trump was in office and Trump supported domestic production and cut regulations and the cost of oil was no where near as high as it is now.

Get your dishonest ass on outta here.
