less permits, etc.
That’s a lie. The oil companies have more permits than they can use.

Gas prices are going down because he got the supply from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela
Venezuela is at low production still.

The real reason oil prices are down is anticipated decrease in demand in China due to a Covid outbreak and some refineries coming back on line in the U.S.

It has little to do with Biden but since you idiots don’t get that I thought I would have some fun.

Exactly. Biden is under enormous pressure to reverse his shitty 2020 energy policies supporting a war on fossil fuels
because of the 100 percent certain recession next year.

Democrats simply can now afford to shit all over the radical Ecoleft and the powerful green energy lobby and tell them to go to hell in the face of the massive backlash of a Biden recession.

What recession you idiot. There’s no recession. 

And you’re listening to the guy who just wrote this:

“LNG is the stuff in our cars that makes the engine go boom boom. We go to gas stations and fill it up.”

Gosh you liberals are misinformed:

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon is again taking the Department of Interior to court. The governor has filed a second federal lawsuit against the Department relating to a Bureau of Land Management decision to pause oil and gas lease sales. In a statement, the governor called the litigation timely and vital to the interests of people living in his state. 

“Wyoming’s energy resources can help power the nation and bring down costs at the pump,” said the governor. “BLM’s decision to cancel lease sales sure seems to be a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the law, (and) I firmly believe the pause in lease sales was politically driven and not based in law or fact.”

The first lawsuit challenged the Biden administration’s actions in First Quarter 2021, halting federal oil and gas leasing in Wyoming. A district court later ruled Secretary Deb Haaland’s decision was lawful. However, it did not consider whether other cancelations were a violation. The new lawsuit involves paused sales that Gordon said should have taken place in the second and third quarters of 2021 and the third quarter of this year.

“BLM went 18 months without a single oil and gas lease sale and has yet to resume regularly scheduled quarterly lease sales,” said the governor’s office.

In April, Secretary Haaland said Interior’s actions are meant to take into account things such as local communities, the environment, air quality, and water.

Ok genius, where in that article does it say oil companies don’t have enough places to drill? Are you suggesting the oil companies need Wyoming to operate at full capacity? You are a dummy. Even when you think you have support for your position there’s nothing there.

I’m not having it both ways if you actually read what I said lol.
I’m not accusing you of making that argument. We’ve talked about this a dozen times already, I know what you have to say. I’m just trying to get you to acknowledge, as you just did, that just because Biden is president does not mean he is responsible for high gas prices.

Therefore we agree that any yo-yo who comes around saying they disapprove of Biden merely because gas prices are high is expressing an opinion based in pure ignorance, and given that the vast majority of people don’t know anything about what influences gas prices, this accurately describes a significant portion of his disapproval with the American people.

Your article does not quote Powell saying we are in a recession. 

Economists at the Fed say it could happen over the next 12 months.

Meanwhile, GP the dummy, has been saying we are in a recession ever since Biden took office.

Payrolls and wages blow past expectations, flying in the face of Fed rate hikes

Filling up is now as cheap as it was in February, just before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine touched off a global energy crisis. AAA reported the average nationwide price of a gallon of regular Wednesday was $3.50, and gas price tracking company GasBuddy projected it could drop below $3 by Christmas. And all of that relief probably helped drive robust shopping over Thanksgiving weekend.
Yea but it was way lower when Trump was president. They were below $2 a gallon. 
Biden just made the gas prices skyrocket, then calmed them down. 
The Biden Administration isn't doing anything better, it's only fixing its own problem.

Ya, because the economy had a severe recession thanks to Trump’s poor response to Covid (failure to get testing available, lack of federal response, put the onus on the states, lack of leadership) We had a 16% unemployment rate in 2020.

It was 2.14 a gallon average in 2016 under Obama. By 2018 it had gone up to 2.72 under Trump. Then back to 2.24 in 2020 thanks to the recession.

Come on genius, get your facts straight

I did, their is nothing wrong with my facts. Actually your facts are wrong. 

All I said was, that by the end of Trumps gas prices were lower than Biden's. That's True
In fact, by the end of Trumps term, the gas prices were $2.27.

Then two years later, (aka now) the gas prices are, 3-4 dollars. But that's not even the worst part.
In 2021 the price for gas was 3.01. So in the span of one year, Biden increased the gas prices, by almost a whole dollar. 

If your gonna argue Trump had bad gas prices, because they were up like 50 cents, then explain why Biden has raised them a whole dollar, and in some places, two dollars.

Plus your wrong. Trump had better gas prices the Obama.

His policies were responsible for the high gas prices because he severely constricted oil supply. He’s getting that same oil supply from the Saudis and Venezuelans

Obamas had a few good years, but overall, Trump has lower gas prices.

Yes, I understand you believe that, even though you cannot quantify the impacts of a single policy you are claiming is responsible.

But that was all besides the point which I made clear and you ignored. Here, I’ll give it another try…

You realize the opposite holds true right? How can you quantify how Biden brought prices down? 

I know how the futures market operates. It’s basic financial market movement tbh. Any and all information is reflected in the market if you’re a believer in the EMH.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's kind of worse than just gas prices.

Biden has ruined the economy, causing food prices, and gas prices to skyrocket.

Biden has caused our country to look weak, because of the Biden Administrations very bad choices. 

Biden has caused other countries to grow their military arsenal and proclaim threats against the U.S. without any reaction from us.

Biden has caused the whole internet to laugh because of his ridiculous speeches and videos. 
In one of his speeches, he says, and I quote," America is a nation, that can be defined in a single word. Asufutimaehfutbw."

Biden is trying to make America, all clean energy, which would destroy Americas power.
"About 79% of the nation’s energy comes from fossil fuels, 8.4% from nuclear, and 12.5% from renewable sources. In 2019, renewables surpassed coal in the amount of energy provided to the U.S. and continued this trend in 2021."

And finally, Biden has decided to focus on more "important matters" like global warming, and the LGBTQ+ movement, rather than worry about the economy, our own security, and technological advancing's.

It's what is known as capitalism.

Create a shortage and inflate the price.

It's all good for business.

And "gas" or hydrocarbon vehicle fuel, or petrol and diesel as we might say over here, is a temporary human luxury.

So expect to pay the going rate.

Or get a bike and stay local.

And then maybe travel further afield as you get fitter.

Or revert to the horse.

Though horse ownership doesn't come cheap these days.

And there's bound to be an oat shortage.

Because we were in a recession. Low gas prices are always part of a recession. Because there is low demand because people are unemployed and demand for goods and services decreases. Plus a half a million Americans had died of Covid by the end of Trump’s term. So that helped lower demand too.

Because the economy is growing under Biden. We had over 7% gdp growth for 2021. More than double the best year Trump had.
There is a war in Ukraine cutting into global supply
There were US refineries off line for repairs and maintenance in 2022
The oil companies made a choice to produce less in order to increase the price of oil

You are such an idiot. Your article says that Obama had  lower gas prices than Trump. It also says Presidents have no control over gas prices.

“But the labels suggesting which president was in office at the time of fluctuations were added later and are misleading. The chart implies that Trump was sitting in the Oval Office when average U.S. fuel prices went as low as $2 a gallon in January 2015 and $1.72 in 2016. In fact, Obama was in office at that time, with his tenure spanning from 2009 until Jan. 20, 2017”

“The chart mislabels former President Donald Trump’s tenure, suggesting he was in office in 2015 during a period when gas prices dropped. Obama was in office at that time. Trump was not sworn in until 2017”

Well, you are claiming this, but no evidence.

Yes, the recession did help, but overall, in his whole presidential term, from 2016 to 2020, he had better gas prices than Obama, and Biden.

Because the economy is growing under Biden. We had over 7% gdp growth for 2021. More than double the best year Trump had.
This is a strait up lie. You know what prices on gas are going up a lot. Diesel is going up more than anything under Bidens term. You know what else runs on diesel?
The machines that are used to water crops, which in turn makes food prices go up. Also, it is used in big shipment trucks. That causes less goods to be shipped.

There were US refineries off line for repairs and maintenance in 2022
The oil companies made a choice to produce less in order to increase the price of oil
You really want to know why this is the case, because this actually helps my argument. Here it goes.
On literally the second day as president, one of the first things Biden did, was cut off the oil drilling programs in the U.S.
"U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has temporarily suspended oil and gas permitting on federal lands and waters in the latest of a series of rapid-fire orders aimed at fighting climate change and tamping down the U.S. fossil fuel industry.
The order appeared to be a first step in delivering on newly sworn-in Biden's campaign pledge to permanently ban new drilling on federal acreage. Federal leases account for close to 25% of the nation's crude oil output, making them a big contributor to energy supply but also to America's greenhouse gas emissions."

And did you know that this decision wouldn't even help the carbon emissions.
Experts have said that even if we stopped 100% of the worlds carbon emissions today, it wouldn't even change or help the climate.
In fact, this surge of natural disasters is just natures flow. In the 20s and 30s, the weather was actually worse than it is today. Then, in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, they calmed down. Then starting in the 70s, they got more aggressive. Now the weather is actually dying down. 

So literally on the second day as President Biden made our economy worse, for no reason.

The 60-day pause strips Interior Department agencies and bureaus from their authority to issue drilling leases or permits while the administration reviews the legal and policy implications of the federal minerals leasing program, according to a Department of Interior memo. The order does not limit existing operations, it said.

The oil companies have plenty of places to drill.

Everything you just said is wrong.

No they don’t - wrong  just Google it

Biden is trying to stop all use of fossil fuels - wrong he is using FF in transition 

Which wouldn’t fix anything - wrong  global warming is the real threat

It would cause the US to go into ruin - wrong  Like when we stopped using whale oil and kerosene?

People will go back to whale oil and vegetable oil burning which is a lot worse than kerosene or LNG.
