80 million people voted for a guy who vowed to halt oil production and jack up the price of gas/diesel which would cause inflation in all goods because everything requires diesel to ship. 80 million people voted to become poorer and make Russia rich by giving them the oil market. Russian ruble up

End fossil presidents instead.
Facts bro. Imagine having an actually relatable guy in his 40s who knows the problems of the people and can help fix them. Presidents like Trump and Biden are far from the answer to the problems going around. They're far too old and excused from the rest of society to know what the people really want (healthcare, safety, etc.)
LH Oswald says Hi...
And turn them into fuel for the pyre
And yet another non conspiracy...wow.
From February of 2019-April 2020 the USA produced more oil than it is currently producing today, outside of that window in time the us is currently producing more oil than any other time in our history.
Also assets were idled due to covid so you can’t just hit restart on mothballed equipment. Refineries are at capacity…why wouldn’t they be?? Reporting record earnings so why would you produce anything less than max.
Dude he emptied the national strategic oil reserve. That's like me lending you my car with a full tank of gas then you waste it all driving around and return my car with an empty tank thinking gas is no big deal.
I’m talking about field production.
-he emptied the national strategic oil reserve
"As of June 10, 2022, the inventory was 511.6 million barrels (81,340,000 m3)"
I have no idea how you could have come to that conclusion, but I'm pretty confident you'll still convince yourself you're not full of shit somehow lmao.
Yea that was the first I was hearing such a thing. Thanks for the source saying otherwise
At 1m per day released we would still have 420M bbls.
We are fine
It's okay not to know what the oil reserve is for but if you're gonna talk on it you should probably do...any amount of research.
You know that's what the reserve is for right? For when we are having gas shortages. It's not there to fuel our navy, it's to fuel our minivans.
Did you just describe my father in law?
Do you know what the purpose of the strategic oil reserve is? It's meant for exactly this purpose, to combat rising priced from macroeconomic forces.
Yeah. It's pretty clear you don't know anything about the industry. 2016 and 2020 had crazy low prices so they filled up the tank way past then what was needed.
I'm sure you also complained about high gas prices too.
So you admit US production isn't above pre-pandemic levels while Russya is at record production? Interesting
"Is America Really Producing More Oil Under Biden Than Trump? No, Obviously Not."
It's too late. We already made Russia rich and funded their war on Ukraine and gave them number one oil producer spot. When Ukraine war ends our production will tank again as Biden will halt our production to "end fossil fuels"

Why has he given more leases in 2 years , than Trump in 4 then.
Leases are for exploration and that takes time and resources to discover. These aren’t ready to go drill sites.
I posted all the drilling permits as well. As they also outpace Trump's. These are for active drilling.
The problem is that there is so much right wing propaganda out there, it's hard to know your head from your ass. Fox will say that all drilling has ceased to exist. But the real truth is that in his first year, 1000 more drilling permits were given than Trump's first.
Because those were already approved but many of those site are not active yet. In fact, if you look a bit later after Biden took office you will see a sharp decline in approved leases.
Source?
To be fair…. He could “ask” different agencies to approve a billion trillion “leases” if the lease involves federal land however the problem arises from the dept called EPA….which is/has Denied new “DRILLING PERMITS” for the vast majority..
Huge difference between leases and drilling permits…
You yourself,if you have enough funds can easily go out and “lease” land for oil exploration but you won’t be getting any drilling permits anytime soon.
The difference is education and ability to read. New federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far outpacing the Trump administration’s first-year total of 2,658.
The oil companies refuse to produce more, there was an Oil exec that went on television and said if they drilled more they would lose money. They are very happy with higher prices for less product. What should Biden do, nationalize the oil industry?
Oh look, you again, doing your workday thing lol
Orange man fan sad
Orange fans desperate to avoid talking about the biggest conspiracy at the moment: their diaper donny stealing and selling our nation's top secrets; republican treason....again.
Say, is ol' Ollie North still a republican player?
Seems like treason pays well in that "patriotic" circle.
Why would they talk about it here when the entire rest of reddit, Twitter, and mainstream publications are screaming about it?
........uh......because this is a conspiracy sub man. lol
It's one of the biggest conspiracies in American history, if not the biggest. It should be the main focus of such a sub, but that would take rightoids being honest and possessing integrity.
Weird how the top posts are republican cry fests instead of the actual national security threatening conspiracy of trump stealing and selling our top secrets. Who are the bots and shills again?
Sure seems like another republican shill wave. Wonder what they're trying to distract from.....oh yea the top secret stuff.
It's not a true distraction until they post hunter Biden dick pics
Haha good one, but it's not their best work until they post pictures that they say is proof of pedophilia or admit to viewing what they think is child porn to own da libs. Nothing like committing felonies and admitting to being child porn connoisseurs to show how the libs are the bad guys.
"You're honor, who is a deep state lizard plant, I only diddled that kid to prove that Biden is a pedo. By my Qanon decree I am an innocent patriot."
I miss pre-Trump r/Conspiracy. It's all gone downhill here since he was president. Main reason I unsubscribed and only pop in here occasionally.
Yea this place turned into the_donald refugee camp and now that their russian troll friends aren't carrying their movement for them they seem so low energy and whiny. This place has normal people dunking on them constantly and it's making it a better place.
I miss the long, detailed posts about ACTUAL conspiracies. Lately its been a bunch of anti-vax, anti-biden (I mean, I don't like the guy either, but still better than Trump), and in general very political posts.
Good news is that I've seen some of the old school crazy conspiracies making a comeback in here. UFOs, secret organizations that aren't just trump humper derp state nonsense, and stuff with the supernatural. I think this place is healing. Well, I hope so at least lol.
Most American's don't slurp down big oil's talking points so yes, his stance to reduce dependence on oil was actually INCREDIBLY popular.
It’s funny how many people on here just guzzle down big oil propaganda like it’s the last water on earth.
Whatever it takes to own the libs
Would it not be handy to have the alternatives completely ready before you slow down the oil supply?
Hard when republicans keep blocking it
Clearly you haven't seen what's happened to Germany
Republican blocked development of a proper infrastructure in California? Interesting
Federal funding for it? Yes
Yes you are 100% correct. It would have been great if 2017-2020 there was any movement towards investing in alternative energy.
Like Solyndra perhaps?
Except domestic oil production under Biden is higher than under Trump.
Holy fuck this entire thread is a political cesspool of clouded thinking.
[removed]
Really...how so?
That is a lie.
It’s not. It’s true
US production is higher under Biden than when Trump left
That's misleading statistics due to the fact that oil crashed spring off 2020, causing several domestic producers to declare bankruptcy.. causing the Dow to plunge on March 8th
Bankruptcy is the core of American Oil and Gas industry.
The corruption runs deep
https://grist.org/accountability/oil-gas-bankruptcy-fieldwood-energy-petroshare/
Biden also created tons of jobs, because he allowed them to go back to work.
[removed]
The claim was high prices was
thanks to Biden who halted new leases and drilling day 1
Since domestic production is higher now than it was when Trump left, we know that claim is wrong.
Your link shows that as well. In fact, your link shows it’s oil and gas companies manipulating supply.
We are currently producing more oil a day now than what we averaged for 2016, 2017, 2018, only 2019 did we averaged better an we are on track to get back to that level.
Source? I follow oil markets and I was unaware the producers that went bankrupt during the oil war of 2020 restarted
From your own source oil production was higher the year leading up to the 2020 oil crash.. so yes, production is down from pre pandemic levels
And as you can see it keeps going up. That one drop in 2020 was the biggest drop in US history, under Trump. Do you think the president snaps their fingers and companies drill more? They're almost back to those levels.
So...for one year it was higher. Presidential administrations tend to be 4 years.
So, the 4 year average starting in 2017 would be?
So then he’s a liar
Look at me, a free thinker! Well, you’re definitely free of common sense, that’s for sure.
[removed]
and I'll fuckin do it again (if Trump is on the other ticket)
You'll enrich Russia again?
I'd vote for a steaming pile of dog shit if it was running against trump.
You did already
and I'll fuckin do it again
see my op in this thread?
Well, you sure got what you asked for then
Correct, Trump is not president.
got what you asked for then
conservatives having meltdowns for years everyday
Yes
i would have voted for nearly ANYONE against Trump. i was far far far from alone. get the fuck OVER IT. it's been almost 2 years. this is BIZZARE. you guys NEED TO MOVE THE FUCK ON. you are freaking the rest of us out. do you want a goddamn King of America?
Centralized power is cancer to society
OP...has no idea how anything works lol.
Just a bunch of right wing hacks on here
80 Million people like ME got tired of all the motherfucking lies.
I think you meant to say "mean tweets"
30,573 confirmed lies while in office. Liars usually support other liars though so do you.
Last time I checked the Biden lie counter is at 629,822 confirmed lies while in office,, how do you deal with his numbers of lies?
Bless your heart! Even your pathetic attempt at hyperbole is rooted within your own web of lies. I can only imagine the skeletons you keep. On topic Biden is not a choir boy when comparing to say Barack Obama who was by far more transparent than either of these yahoos, but to keep bootlicking for a piece of shit like trump takes quite the broken moral compass.
My number is very easy to fact check if you know how to work a search engine.
Dumbass what are prices doing now research before you post
This must be one of the agenda pushing bots
Absolutely. He’s a right wing hack shilling trump talking points
Russian troll team can suck my nads.
Is this the new political satire group now?
cooooooope
Where do you come up with this horseshit? Worldwide inflation is caused by Biden? Please explain how that works. Also where has oil and gas been halted?
Yes it is joe Biden fault gas prices are so high….
(Check notes) and not the oil companies making recorded breaking profits…
If you don’t like it then you can move to another country
That shows how badly trump was hated. Sndost of your "facts " are jibberish.
It was him or Trump. I don’t regret my decision at all.
The Ruble isn't really up: it can't be traded, so volume has dropped, which causes it to deflate. This happens because if you can't trade often, you want to trade for maximum value; and since no one can really buy rubles, you can put whatever price on it you want, it's not moving.
Their economy is contracting rapidly.
Edit:
Ah, shit. This may explain why they are selling rubles for gold at a fixed price. They are trying to prevent the lack of volatility from influencing pricing. Kind of clever.
Love the same people saying "the US is in a recession, everything is terrible" because GDP fell 0.9% in Q2 and "Russia's economy is doing great" when their GDP fell 4% in Q2.
imagine thinking the president controls anything
It wasn’t only oil production that drove prices up but our reduction in capacity to refine it.
But be honest—80 million people didn’t vote for Biden because of any policies. They simply got sick of the constant drama that came with Trump.
Yeah, and elections have consequences
Y'all are hella deep in seethe mode since dark Brandon rose huh
Hilariously inaccurate assessment but go off
[removed]
Echo chamber in here
Many people instead voted for a guy who grabs pussies, thinks windmill noise causes cancer, and seriously considered nuking a hurricane
Admission of defeat is the first step in rebuilding
Really tired of the KGB shills in this sub
[removed]
Faaark this is boring
Honestly id rather fuck up the economy than the planet. When we arent number 1 anymore, then youll see. THEN YOULL ALL SEE!
Lmao Russia is economically fucked right now because we and a lot of other countries aren’t buying their oil. That’s what led to the massive spike this spring and summer. It’s been going down since he met with Saudi Arabia. (Which I do have feelings about, fuck Saudi Arabia completely)
Fck that quagmire in Ukraine.
[removed]
He’s a trump shill
He vowed to do the right thing. Since our ancestors lived way above their means and fucked shit up all over the place everyone is going to have toake sacrifices. Now those sacrifices could easily be compensated for by a more equal and fair legislature (like taxing the top 0.1% properly, taxing businesses properly, investing a lot of money into green alternatives to pretty much anything, banning the creation of products that break easily to sell more and making real estate unattractive as both investment and object of speculation among other things) but unfortunately that's not an attractive idea to a lot of tiny brained and small minded "people". So instead everyone but select few will get fucked. Not my problem but w/e.
How many Bidens are there, I think at least 3. They all look completely different.
Imagine believing thats the President in that screenshot.
Imagine believing that 80 million actual people voted for him.
Somehow Biden looks more like a corpse here than I've ever seen while simultaneously looking more vital than he usually does. What a weird fucking picture lol
I wish his vow to halt oil production actually happened, but he won't because he has so much money from Big Oil. Our over dependency on fossil fuels is going to be our downfall.
You’re really spamming it up today, bot
Yup 100% rigged
We have an opportunity in Nov and again for 2024 to reverse this fuck up, so let’s all vote with our brain or there will be some harder times ahead.
80mil votes (more than any candidate in history) but couldn’t fill a high school gym when speaking
Maybe you’d get a better understanding of the simple reason for why Biden got elected if I put it to you in these childish metrics you seem to subscribe to:
If Biden went on a nationwide tour at the biggest venues and had trump in a cage. And then Biden was giving away one free, swift kick to trumps ass… then you’d see your overflowing crowds.
It was never ever about Biden. People would have voted for a used condom. It was about beating Trump.
It is amazing watching some of you struggle to accept people HATED trump. Listen to me: Trump was an asshole. Trump was disrespectful. People. Hated. Trump.
Turns out electing a guy because you want to “own” people makes you extremely unpopular and makes them want to “own” you back.
And…?
I voted against republicans, I have better things to do then cheerlead a politician.
I know this will get voted to hell but did anyone else have PUTIN standing between the people and destopia on their bingo card? Whoever they hate the most … seems to be a friend
Almost everything is upside down. However, i think it will spin back fast soon.
Shilling brown shirts gonna shill.
Hey but no more mean Tweets, so all is good 👍
Did you know about 10-20% of the oil used for the gas you buy comes from Russia?
We're just buying it through India to get around the sanctions.
I'm more concerned about shower-gate.
81 million... Composed mostly of ignorant and dead people.
Where is your bot farm located? Just find it kinda strange that you always have multiple front page posts. 4 out of the top 10 are you right now, and it's all just "Biden Bad".
Shut up with the “russian ruble”. Ruble can’t be traded right now. That is why it can’t fall.
This is the true Russian I'm not very sure what it is but he's working with Russia.
Never underestimate the intellect of your average American.
What a scum bag and the same is said of anyone that supports him
Yea that’s how god awful Donald was as president.
Think about that.
I like electric vehicles
[removed]
Voted against Trump. 80 million Americans don't like authoritarians.
[removed]
You should work on your GED
You mean authoritarians that want to fire you for not taking an experimental gene therapy? Like that? Or more like authoritarians that call everyone who opposes them 'extremist semi-fascits'. Like that, maybe?
Republicans throw the word communist around like its a 90 pound porn star.
They refuse to see the irony that everything they hate about trump is Biden.
Its more like projection than irony. They know they are the authoritarians, but if they keep saying "TTTTrump is mmmmean" they can convince a small portion of their base, a base that HATES Brandon, that voting for a Republican is the equivalent of voting for Hitler than they hope they can prevent a bloodbath in November.
What about what about what about what about what about
Which authoritarian actions, specifically? They didn't happen under Trump. It was Obama and Biden that have taken unprecedented authoritarian actions, blowing away citizen's rights.
Go jerk off in the Trump zone
Why do you not try to answer their question?
As suspected, you don't have a single example. Just more democrat shilling. Get fucked.
80 million printers and mules.
Hm ghost votes? 🫣
... after watching 2000 Mules, I don't think we voted for this guy.
In fact, I'm not entirely sure if voting does anything.
Be got nowhere near 80 million votes
Outlaw gas powered cars and force people to buy electric vehicles.
SURPRISE, MUTHAFUCKERS!!!! ITS A BLACKOUT AND YOU CAN'T CHARGE YOUR CARS!!!!!
What a stupid post. Nice try though.
You guys are desperate to shit on Biden for any reason
If you think any president has any power to manipulate the price of gasoline then you're in the wrong sub.
Shutting down a pipeline doesn’t affect production and price? Really? Really?
Shutting down the "building" of a new pipeline.
There are five Keystone pipelines. The XL is just one of those.
There are over sixty pipelines that bring oil in from Canada. Some only bring oil to specific states, like Washington St.
If not building one pipeline affected the whole nation then the pipeline to Washington should not have been affected at all. Yet gas prices were just as high as everyone else.
Shitting down the keystone pipeline did not affect production and price. Really.
What the hell is going on with this sub? Lmfao it’s just nonstop “i hAtE bIDeN” propaganda. Like if your so obsessed with him why don’t you give him a blumpkin.
Dudes a fucking joke!
Closer to 45-50 million actual votes
The rest were manufactured via mail in ballots, dead people, and illegal immigrants
Source: trust me bro
Millions of cult members voted for an Orange Parasite- that caused the biggest national security failing in Murican history. Lied then evaded and hid it from DOJ. Tried to overthrow an election that he clearly lost. But yet we keep looking for a fucking laptop from Hunter that he probably has pictures of hookers and ripping lines🤦♂️I dislike Biden too and Hilary. I vote for Human Decency and leave a better world for our kids instead of thoughts and fucking prayers. Good luck all.
SS: they even cheated in the swing states to make sure inflation increased and they paid more for gas. Because critical thought seems to have disappeared in half the population
80 million people vote for guy willing to acknowledge that being reliant on a finite natural resource that is polluting our air and water and largely controlled by a cartel of nations that don't have our interests at heart is a bad move.
He's increased domestic oil production but is also pushing for us to move on to other, less harmful (both environmentally and geo-politically) forms of energy.
Noooo we have to have a system where we are reliant on international trade and may have to use military force spending trillions on making sure the international trade of a finite resource is secure!
Oil is not finite, it actually is a self producing product of our living world. The biggest lie we have ever been told is that oil is based out of fossils, wow can’t believe I believed it
That's because oil doesn't come from fossils. Its biomass that has been buried and compressed for millions of years.
Oil is not finite, it actually is a self producing product of our living world.
It is finite within our human lifetimes. And it doesn't self produce. It takes millions of years for oil, coal, and gas to be created by natural processes. We don't have millions of years to wait to keep filling up our cars.

OP are you a bot? How much do you get paid?
Not much. Just north of $500/month.
It's not half the population, there's like 322 million people and Biden got around 78 million votes while Trump got like 72 million. Less than half the total population voted yet it was the highest vote total ever recorded. Cope harder with your r*tarded math soyboi.
A lot of people that voted for Pedo Pete are not to happy. Many have died as of late.

Why are you simping for oil and gas companies?
81,000,000 people didn't LEGALLY vote for this ass-hat.
2,000+ mules
You stupid ass liberals act like it's OK for people to show up at ballot drop box at 4:00 AM and drop off a stack of 20 ballots in a state where dropping off another's ballot is ILLEGAL.
You know what's un-American? Ignoring the videos of this happeing over and over and over, then decalring your VICTORY
They voted against Trump cuz he was "mean". They thought the partisanship was too much. People don't like confrontation. They would've voted for soiled diaper over Trump.
Actually, the 2020 vote showed the US public would rather not re-elect a soiled diaper.
"Voted"
It’s Putin’s fault that my electric bill is increasing by 42% in October.
Where did the 80 million come from?
BS that many people voted just in America?
Sounds like he had a lot of outside help.

You’re right 80 billion like you wrote is a lot

And it makes struggling countries poorer
EXACTLY! He did promise it. And it aligns with what they want, green energy. Now they behave like they didn’t know or they didn’t think it would disrupt the energy.
I am so sick of liberals. Feel good ideas with fucking zero consideration of what the consequences will be. Defund the police.. decriminalize theft.. it is so frustrating to share a country with them.
