During his lie-fueled remarks today on the ongoing domestic oil crisis, President Joe Biden defended his administration’s decision to release additional oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, thereby further depleting an already depleted supply.

Now, if you’re like us, you’re probably wondering what the logic is behind such an ostensibly awful decision. Thankfully, his trust press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is here to explain it to us in very simple terms:
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ KJP says that the purpose of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is for "these moments" of "global challenges."

Oh, goody ... the White House kindergartener is gonna 'splain it to us!
Wow. Excellent points, Karine. Or they would be if they weren’t so insanely stupid.
For starters, she really needs to have a meeting with her boss to decide whether or not this is Putin’s fault, because right now, everything bad is Putin’s fault, and everything good (which isn’t even actually good) is Biden’s.
Aside from that, though, we’re pa-reeeetty sure that we don’t have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because of “global market challenges.” At least last time we checked.
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ No!
KRenner (@KRenner2) ~ 110% wrong.
MrEd Xtechur (@edriskill76) ~ Once again, WRONG on all counts.
Wrong wrong wrong.
Charles Westmoreland (@ruff_1) ~ Like when Dems are down in the polls 3 weeks before elections?
Perhaps we need to clear something up for Karine:
CHARLIE (@Evista122) ~ The SPR is for emergency supply disruptions, not to reduce prices prior to an election.
David Gudger (@slope2seaside) ~ Note to @PressSec that the midterm elections is NOT a global challenge.
No matter how much you want us to believe it is.
Zanshi (@zanshi1) ~ It would be fair to say that she is absolutely horrible at her job.
Karine's shoe size is much larger than her IQ number.
Please. You’re too kind.
No, really. You’re too kind. She makes Jen Psaki look like Tony Snow.
Yeah, and Circle Back Jen Psucki is one of the biggest dumb f**ks of all time.
Oh, and speaking of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, this also happened:
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ KJP is asked why Democrats blocked Trump from refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve when they're looking to do so now at more than double the price:
"It was a different time then. It was not the same situation that we are currently in."
http://twitter.com/i/status/1582804117977980928
A different time when President Trump was trying to make the smart play and save the American people bazillions of dollars, but the Democrats said, "No!"
Well, she’s right about one thing: it was definitely not the same situation we are currently in. It was a much better situation than the situation that we are currently in. And the Democrats said no.
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ Trump on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in March of 2020:
"We're gonna fill it right up to the top, saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars...making us even further toward that wonderful goal which we've achieved ... of energy independence."
http://twitter.com/i/status/1582795908034371584
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Biden White House now trying to argue why refilling the reserve at $70 per barrel is actually a savings to taxpayers when Democrats blocked Trump from doing it at $24 per barrel.
We feel like we’re taking crazy pills. Except we know we’re not the crazy ones.
Kelkat (@Tweetytweeter63) ~ It’s always (D)ifferent when they do it.
Please (R)emedy this in November.
