    only in a Democrat ran economy, a country with one of the largest oil deposits in the world would we be running out of gas

    under Trump, we produced so much oil we had to export the rest driving down prices

    welcome to Biden's Venezuela

    Sure he does. Liberals create a crisis and their pals profit off of the madness.

    Who made the most money from COVID? Amazon/Bezos.

    American Oil costs more... and Trump cut the supply of foreign oil.... now demand is increasing and prices going up due to lack of supply thanks to what Trump did last year

    Why did Biden kill the pipeline, then?

    I didn't know Democrats ran the economy. Aren't we always told that the invisible hand runs the economy?

    Who shut down the oil pipeline?
    Who prosecuted (extorted) Exxon for a scientific paper written in the 70s?

    Here's your memo.

    If it's a Republican POTUS, their hands are tied by the powers that be and they inherited a giant mess.
    If it's a Democrat, they are worthless, no-good, stupid, ignorant sadists sending us to Hell in a hand basket.

    You're welcome. ;-)

    I don't know, we took a 1 month road trip in July of 2018 and remember that we routinely paid $2.89 or even $2.95 per gallon. That was under Trump. The current price of $3.09 doesn't seem to be that much higher. But, I know, I know, it must be Biden's killing of the hypothetical pipeline that never existed that has to be to blame. Anything that allows the proclamation "Biden is the devil".

    I would kinda hang low for a minute in those shoes. I wouldn't be loudly proclaiming that my guy lost to a "armchair diagnosis" sufferer of dementia. That's not a good look at all especially since their guy is a "super genius" because his uncle was a scientist and he can repeat five nouns in the correct order. <smh>

    Would the pipeline have had an impact on the price of gas this July 4th? I have no idea what the timeline is but that seems fast.

    It's not difficult to have falling gas prices in a global pandemic, when nobody drives. Of course, you know that, but any information not fitting the Trump = good, Biden = bad narrative has to be blocked out. Thanks, Fox News.

    I get an earful every single day M-F. She was blaming Biden for gas prices going up ONE DAY after his Inauguration. She gets ALL her news from FaceBook and a woman who is about 90 years old (yeah, she has some new and fresh ideas. OK.). Sometimes, I fantasize about choking her tor stabbing myself in the ear drums with an ice pick. Luckily, just thinking about it isn't a crime or I'd be up a creek. LOL

    P.S. She does admit that Trump is a crybaby but she still chose/chooses him over Biden. She said she would leave the country if Biden won. I told her that Trump said the same thing and you're both still here. What's up with that!? ;-)

    Not really
    yes demand would decrease but so would production
    so it would be a wash

    So? If demand increases, so would production, so it would be a wash. Come on, you have to come up at least with a somewhat coherent argument. Although I realize that the simpleton "Biden bad" bashing is intellectually much easier.

    we do not know yet what the "average" will be under Biden

    of course during covid it got so low Trump demanded they reduce supply to make prices go back up.... well now they have... thanks Trump

    Wait till a hurricane is bearing down on the gulf states and one of these Biden induced fuel shortages occurs. You'll see people shooting each other over a gallon of unleaded. It will be chaos. Be smart people, if you live in this region keep at least 5 gallons in reserve at all times until winter. DO NOT expect to be able to fill up once a named storm is approaching.
