  1. Biden is destroying the American people and standing with the president of Ukraine and supporting him with millions of American people. He is the one who needs support, not outside countries. If he solves the situation, it is better than igniting a war between the Russians and the Ukrainians. I hope he changes his policy and leaves the support of militias like the Iranian and Houthis and supports the good American people. Demonstration works

  2. When last I checked, it wasn’t the oil companies that had revoked drilling permits, refused to issue more permits, and scared financiers into not funding oil exploration. You pushed crap policy and then blame everyone but the yourself for the crap results. But that’s the Democrat’s and the media’s (but I repeat myself) MO.

  3. WHAT ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE DOES THIS ADD UP TO AN 8.6% INFLATION RATE??…….GAS..44%, AIRLINE TICKETS..33%, USED CARS..23%, HOTELS..23%, SUITS..22%, BACON..18%, ORANGES..17%, TIRES..16%, FURNITURE..15%, MILK..15%, COFFEE..14%, DELIVERIES..14%, BREAD..14%, BABY FOOD..13%, SOUP..13%, CEREAL..12%, EGGS..10%, DRY CLEANING..10% [THANKS BIDET]

  4. They have every excuse to raise prices. They have no choice.

    Prices are not arbitrary, they are determined by supply and demand.

    Be very afraid when the government imposes price controls. Then we will see massive shortages.

  5. Democrats are trying to set up the excuses for when gas prices inevitably rise again.

  6. $7 a gallon in northern Cali what’s the east coast paying so why are we already affect 🤦‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

  7. I'm Uber driver California 7$ and rising it horrible being driver

  8. and no companies had an excuse to raise prices because of covid yet here we are.

  9. I wonder if Liberals feel responsible for our many problems?

  10. and then he added: "… oh, by the way, I blew up 2 Russian pipelines, which will make the gas price go up".

  11. "You have no excuse to raise prices…Keep that 10% comin' under the table, jack." – Biden to Oil Execs

  12. Worst President I have ever seen…wtf

  13. Biden makes a campaign promise to destroy American oil and natural gas companies. Tries to regulate them into bankruptcy in favor of Chinese made electric vehicle components then calls them out because they shut oil rigs in the gulf down because of a hurricane. Biden really has lost it!

  14. Joe is a very special kind of stupid.

  15. I see dead people ! 🤪😂 put dude in a nursing home ! SMH

  16. Has anyone seen Jackie?

  17. The gas company are making more money know then ever before… They need to make a stop to it.

  18. It's 6.44 in California a day later. Guess who isn't listening! We are no where near Ian, they are using other excuses.

  19. "Where's Jackie??"….dementia Joe

  20. Thank you president Biden👍🏻🇺🇸

  21. He knows our petroleum reserve won’t hold up, so he’s blaming the oil companies. What a joker president.

  22. Biden has no excuse for his Dementia. He should be impeached. He is incapable.

  23. "I think Ian is in the crowd tonight, please stand up…." -Joe Biden

  24. YOU, Biden have NO RIGHT to destroy OUR COUNTRY the way you have for almost 2 years!! You sickens me at this point!!

  25. Y'all don't realize what they are doing. They are monopolizing before the world ends. A one world order. All the poor will die and the few will prosper.

  26. Biden has no excuse to blame companies for the inflation he has caused.

  27. just wait I bet gas skyrockets now that Potato Joe has depleted the reserves exactly what we needed it for you have really done it now potato brains

  28. There was no excuse for emptying the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve either, but SOMEbody did it anyway.

  29. Just another attempt to save face because they're going to raise the prices and gouge people per usual and Americans are just going to take it like always.

  30. Take all your money out the banks. There is no America.

  31. Looking for someone else to blame for inflation 😂 This man can’t take responsibility for anything.
