As you may have heard, OPEC+ is reportedly going to cut oil output by, well, a lot.
Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) ~ 🚨OPEC+ agrees to cut 2 million barrels of oil output per day - Reuters sources
John Hasson (@SonofHas) ~
Biden: “Saudis will pump more oil.”
Saudis: “Biden doesn’t speak for OPEC.”
OPEC: “We’re pumping less oil now.”
Ed Morrissey (@EdMorrissey) ~ HOO BOY!
“HOO BOY” is right.
Logan Dobson (@LoganDobson) ~ At least the Biden administration didn't drain our strategic petroleum reserve in the hopes of rescuing his poll numbers ... wait ...
Yeah, "wait" indeed! Brandon has been draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for quite a while, now.
Ugh. Yeah, this doesn’t bode very well for us, does it?
Hell, even Barack Obama’s former van driver Tommy Vietor is concerned. Not because former VP and current President Joe Biden led us down this inevitable path, no. But because the Saudi regime is trying hurt Democrats in the midterms ... in order to restore Donald Trump to the presidency. Seriously, that’s what Tommy’s saying:
Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08 ) ~ MBS leading the charge to CUT oil production a month from the midterms should be viewed as a deliberate political act. The Saudis want Trump to be president so they get total impunity for their human rights abuse, and staff like Kushner they can buy and sell. No more fist bumps.
Well, Brandon is incompetent in domestic affairs, and he is incompetent in international affairs, as well. This is what happens when you have an infantile dumbass in The White House.
Matt Cover (@MattCover) ~
LaurieAnn (@mooshakins) ~
Yep, lil' Tommy Vietor is having a TDS tantrum.
Tommy needs to stop looking for new ways to embarrass himself. He’s way too good at it.
subzerohedge21m (@subzerohedge21m) ~ What a narrative, so the fist bump didn't work, but it was the best move at the time. Such an odd pretzel.
Erik ten Hag for life (@MymanagerErik) ~ They are so powerful that they dictate American politics from the Middle East. Bravo.
MoradaBayTrader (@BayMorada) ~ LMAO!
Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) ~ This is precisely the take you would expect from the guy whose parents got him a job driving a van for Obama.
It’s true, though.
Rudolfo Gaspari (@scottdelaney98 ) ~ President Biden can completely negate this action with the stroke of a pen. But he doesn't. Why Tommy? Why?
Unfortunately, this really isn't true ... even if Brandon were to reverse his destructive edicts against our domestic oil & gas industry, it wouldn't just immediately open up the spigots.
Well, let’s think about that. If Biden used his pen to open up domestic drilling and production, that would help the U.S. become more energy independent, which would be really helpful right about now.
Emma Graham (@themmagraham) ~ White House's Kirby: U.S. needs to be less dependent on OPEC+ and foreign producers of oil.
Yeah, you're correct, Kirby, you pathetic lil' worm ... BUT that ain't gonna happen with your "green energy" fantasies, dumbass. You need to take the restraints off of our domestic oil & gas production.
But, if Biden used his pen to open up domestic drilling and production, then he’d have to concede that we can’t just seamlessly transition to “clean” energy.
Madlaw (@madlaw1071) ~ Wait, I thought high gas prices were ackshually good and part of a needed transition to clean energy.
Yeah, that's the bullsh!t that the Biden administration has been trying to feed everybody.
It’s almost as if OPEC+ cutting off our oil supply is actually what the Biden administration has wanted all along.
Ron Sandack (@RLSandack) ~ This is a dumb take. Biden cut American production & has jammed premature clean alternatives down our throats ... OPEC is just reacting to those horrific policy decisions.
Brandon has stupidly handed OPEC a whole lotta power over us on a silver platter.
The Dank Knight (@capeandcowell) ~ Don’t be fooled by the fake rage. They 110% want gas to be unaffordable.
Hell yeah, they do. It’s not the Saudis Tommy et al. want to punish; it’s us.
Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) ~ The only way to punish human rights abusers is to purchase more of their commodities, dude.
