You and I both, Cap.
I was behind enemy lines in that state during COVID. I was never so happy to breathe FRESH air again, as I was leaving the airport terminal back on real American soil.

But the supply chain is hitting a wall. Energy analytics tracking from the Rapidan Energy Group reveals that U.S. energy companies are heavily resisting buying the fuel due to massive political blowback and fear of future congressional probes.

Anyone who touches that stuff is in jeopardy puts themselves in severe jeopardy for criminal and civil sanctions. Congress passed a law banning Russian fuel imports with no wiggle room for national interest exceptions.
Talking about 20 years in prison and $1m in fines for each act of violating those prohibitions.

I on;t see how the Governor can actually stop the docking of a ship, but she is letting would-be purchasers know what is coming.

Congress passed it and Trump signed it just over a month ago. So yeah, this is crazy.

No, this is the sanctions bill passed in 2022. The one passed last month has a National Interest waiver.

The one in 2022 - Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act - is what any purchaser would be violating, and it has no waiver.

This thread would get a lot more traction if "principled conservatives" could blame Trump.

The democrats are proving to them that they will not lower prices but the brilliant ones still think we should give them power because of high prices.

Their minds are only capable of handling a single part of an equation at a time.

She cannot stop them and she knows she cannot. She is just trying to scor a little political point by being as anti-Trump as possible.

But that fuel was ever coming to the USA to begin with - no potential buyer is going to touch it. The law is clear: jail and huge fines await any American who buys that fuel.

Oh, they want relief. They just want to be persnickety about where it comes from.

Like so many of their ilk, they genuinely believe that beggars can be choosers.

Why not just use the fuel in the strategic reserve so no one has to buy it?

Yep, let the northeast freeze and pay out the arse for home heating oil that is very similar to diesel.
