Do you understand how much more oil is on the market today bc of hyrdaulic fracturing/unconventional reservoirs than 10-15 years ago? We are currently producing more oil than any country in history



I don't even know if you complain about inflation. But I would assume the world consumes more oil than 15-20 years ago. It's not like the demand was staying stagnant. And Democrats were all out on fracking at one point. At least in their rhetoric.


At it's highest under Obama you were paying $2.30 more per gallon than we are now if accounting for inflation.

I don’t fill up once a month so gas at the pump isn’t a big deal. I do fly a lot though

What a bunch of pussified babys crying over a couple dollars more. Shows how fricking dumb and out of touch you are with what's being accomplished. We wouldn't even be at war right now if not for this guy.


The IAEA has stated multiple times that Iran was complying with the nuclear deal and had stopped enriching uranium. Then Trump canceled the nuclear deal for no reason other than it was negotiated by the Obama administration.

It just magically all appeared, overnight! From all those sites the IAEA wasn't allowed to inspect, or inspect without a week's worth of warning.

Does your dumb arse remember when we offered to let Iran get civilian level enriched fuel from France or Russia to run reactors, as long as they didn't want native enrichment capacity, and they refused it? Of course you don't. They declined.

And if we are doing inflation, still lower than the highest under Obama.


But when it was almost $5 that was under Bush. It was highest under Obama because it was still going down from Bush's time in the WH.

My point in this, since some of you will not get my sarcasm, etc. Presidents alone do not control oil prices, actions they take can impact oil prices.

Who was president when things went to shite during COVID? Remember when he was calling for a vaccine as soon as possible? What I am saying is that why do some people act like one person can do no wrong? Every president does some shite that isn't a popular move. Stop being so loyal that you can't see reality. You have to keep elected officials in check.

Some of you could be on a sinking ship lead by Trump. You see it sinking, you feel it sinking, but if he came out and told everyone "Its okay folks. Don't panic, fake news, the boat isn't sinking" some of you will trust his words over what you are seeing.

Iran is getting tired of being curbstomped.

Muslims aren't the brightest, but they're tapping out.

Had Kamala been elected, gas would be $10+/gal., Iran would have a nuke, and the border would be wide open. So um, yeah.

Costs $500 more PER YEAR per car (At 12k mi driven per yr and 22mpg)…every $1 per gallon increase.

Skip a few Caniacs, Starbucks stops and drink more water at restaurant meals.

Your consumer chakras will realign.

Most of us posting here would already be dead had kamala been elected. $4 or even 5 dollar gas is a beautiful thing considering the alternative.
