Biden Refuses to Ask Saudi Arabia to Produce More Oil;
Biden Advisor Declares We Will Pay $5 For Gas For As Long As It Takes to Defend "The Liberal World Order" (AKA Ukraine)

Biden doesn't want to risk the Saudis refusing his request -- it would make him look even weaker -- so he's not even going to ask.

$7 gas, here we come!

President Joe Biden refused Thursday to ask Saudi Arabia to produce more oil to bring down the cost of gasoline in the United States and around the world.

Biden was specifically asked during his press conference in Europe about what he would say to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about oil during their scheduled meeting in July.

"No, I'm not going to ask them," he said, noting that he already "indicated" to all the Gulf heads of state his desire for them to produce more oil.

"I hope we see them, in their own interest, concluding that makes sense to do," Biden said

...

During his presidential campaign, Biden vowed to treat Saudi Arabia as a "pariah" but ultimately agreed to a meeting with their leaders in July.

..

Biden and his administration continue to pursue anti-fossil fuel policies, putting the country more at the mercy of oil-rich foreign dictators.



When asked how long drivers would be paying for gas, Biden replied, "As long as it takes. So Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine."

Continuing the lie that that high gas prices are just the "Putin Tax," ignoring the massive Biden Tax in gas prices.

Commenters point out that Macron delivered the statement that the Saudis had already refused to pump more oil, so that's why Biden isn't asking.

Good catch, but: That's not exactly what Macron said. Macron said the UAE couldn't pump more oil, and the Saudis could pump only 150,000 barrels per day, which isn't enough to really bring down oil prices.

Still, it's something, and they allow they could pump that much more.

But Biden isn't asking.

...

Biden's handlers aren't walking back this statement that you'll pay "as long as it takes" -- they're doubling down on it.


Oh, Biden then went on to tell his Current Favorite Lie, that other major democracies are seeing higher inflation than the US. If you remember, he told that lie while meeting with reporters from corrupt legacy media, and ABC "News" then helped him cover up that lie by substituting a staffer's spin for what the lie meant. ABC "News" claimed Biden's statement that all other major democracies have higher inflation than the US meant, ABC "News" "clarified," only that inflation was a widely-occurring phenomenon.

Except that's not what he meant, of course. He meant what he said, which is another absurd Biden Lie. Or, a "Stuttering of the Truth," I guess.

He just keeps telling the same lie and the leftwing media just keep repeating it without contradiction of "The Big Lie."

The New York Post:

Biden went on to defend his administration's economic record, including by twice claiming incorrectly that inflation was lower in the US than in other developed countries.

"We have the strongest economy in the world. Our inflation rates are lower than other nations in the world," he said, adding later: "I can understand why the American people are frustrated because of inflation. But inflation is higher in almost every other country."

The 8.6% annual US inflation rate in May was the highest since 1981 and higher than the Eurozone's estimated monthly average of 8.1%, Canada's 7.7%, South Korea's 5.4% and Japan's 2.5%.

The UK's annual inflation rate of 9.1% was higher than the US rate in May, but the US rate exceeded Germany's 7.9%, France's 5.8% and Italy's 6.9%.

______________________________

You would be very surprised at how many guys -- especially under the age of 30 -- are scared to death at being turned down by a girl. It's borderline pathological. And that's even with modern dating apps and texting and ways to gauge her interest before making your move.

Back when I was a teenager, the only option was to get off your ass, walk over to the girl -- who was ALWAYS surrounded by her friends -- and ask her out face-to-face. If the answer was "no" it was public to everyone around and like getting kicked in the nuts. But the upside was the answer could be "yes."

And after you take a few Heismans it's no big deal. I always hunted big game so these girls were always the hottest and most popular. They said "no" to practically every guy. So what if they also turned me down? And sometimes the answer would be "yes" . . . .

Saudis might not be talking to Joe. Macron is trying to lower oil prices for his own country and has talked to the Saudis. That leaves the US to pick up the oil production slack, so he's trying to convince Joe.

From our US perspective this can look different (as it seems silly to us that they'd pressure us to do anything), but that's probably how it looks from Macron's perspective.

131 Come on, let's tell the truth here. This has nothing to do with Biden taking a principled approach and not asking Saudis to boost oil production.

This has everything to do with political reality.

First, the Saudis probably can't boost oil production. From everything I'm seeing, they're producing pretty close to capacity right now.

Second, they'll tell him no, anyway, because of his short-sighted, myopic reaction to the Kashoggi thing.

Third, they will likely respond with the reality of the situation, which is that the cuts to US oil production that HE COMMANDED are largely the result of this shortage/high prices.

All the Saudis would have to do is list off these three points, and it's a disaster for Biden. Hence, no way he's going to ask and give them the chance to eviscerate him publicly.

Furthermore, Biden doesn't want prices to go down This is all part of the plan, but they want to appear like they're doing something because saying the quiet part out loud would be political suicide. So, pretend you're trying really hard, and smile inside knowing you're winning.

159 A few years ago, my wife and I took a disabled friend into our home. We get paid by Medicare to care for him. We are, essentially, state workers.
Our chance of getting laid off if the economy tanks is pretty much zero. Our union is going to use high inflation as leverage to get us higher pay. Thanks to inflation, our mortgage is getting cheaper by the day. My IRA is going down, but if we had a pension like other government workers that wouldn't really mean much.

All that to say - being (kind of) a government employee I now understand a little of how these people in government feel when the economy gets scary. They feel safe. They feel secure. No sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, no change in standard of living, no changing plans for the future. Nothing. No skin in the game whatsoever.

Another guy was much more crude. "Wanna f&@k?" Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprising, this works too, though it may take a little more time.

Specialist 4 Bowman - that guy could pick up babes anywhere, I've no idea how, but he did. He had been in a car accident, and had a large scar on his face. He always used to drag me along on his ventures. I heartily approved of this at the time.

On the other hand, it's possible these governments are more serious about dealing with reality than the US.

(I had to think long and hard about this, so I threw in the "it's possible" caveat - Germany f-d around with energy policy and is currently in the finding out stage, but I still have to believe their bureaucrats will still come up with the correct figures, it's in their genes.)

TLDR: the US's true inflation rate is way outpacing the rest of the 1st world.

We laugh about it now, but dunder-headed me completely missed picking up what she was putting down, until one day I got it through my thick skull and asked her out.

Looking back on it, she was throwing me hints every time I shopped there, which was fairly often.

Initial Comment: The Supreme Court overstepped and effectively removed the separation of church and state, which it didn't have the authority to do. The separation of church and state is explicitly stated in the Constitution, but Thomas and Co. can't see that. They can't see it because it doesn't jive with their religious beliefs. They've chosen a theocracy.

Me: You should look up the definition of "explicitly", and then check the Constitution again.

Rando Comment: we need a Benito Juarez type of rule here where government seizes the property of any church involved in polical activity, and pastors jailed or executed for violating the separation of of church and state.

Yes, I love Rush, but man o man does FM's debut hit the perfect spot for me. A Desert Island Disc if ever there was one. It's pop, it's Prog, it's space-rock, it's jazz fusion, it's a little new wave, and as a concept album, all infused with that sort of wonderful mid-70s optimism of the day, when we were being taught we'd be vacationing on the moon by the 80s.

Yes. As an example, as long as our blue state gov keeps us in a state of COVID Emergency! we get an extra $2.50/hr "hazard pay." Our union is using the fact that we've been getting paid extra for two years as a reason to keep our salaries that high after COVID. Someone's budget at state DSHS got expanded so they could send us masks every month that we don't use. My friend's social workers get to work from home and do Zoom calls instead of visits.

318 287 90% of Murders Were Solved in the 1960s - Now Only 42% Are

This sounds wrong. I don't think we've ever been that good at solving murders.
Posted by: bonhomme at July 01, 2022 02:08 PM (eyxn4)

I think back then murders typically involved people who knew each other. Also people were more inclined to cooperate with police.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at July 01, 2022 02:13 PM

Juries expect a lot more forensic evidence today to convict for serious crimes. Makes convincing a DA you have enough evidence for trial tougher, but helps ensure convictions are more accurate. I have a feeling many more people were wrongfully convicted in the past than they are today (at least for things like murder)

461 Biden is not asking, because he is so far gone into dementia, he has no idea what is going on from one minute to the next. He only knows what to do or say after people tell him what to do or say.

So the reason "Biden is not asking" is because his handlers -- WEF, Obama Administration people -- have told him not to ask. Remember during the Obama Administration and he and his cabinet members all said that "energy costs will necessarily skyrocket". This has all been planned for years, possibly decades.

None of this has anything to do with Biden. It's like saying the "climate change" movement is led by Greta Thunberg. He is nothing more than a mostly brain-dead puppet. The only difference between Biden and the rest of the G7 "leaders" is that he has dementia. But everything those "leaders" are doing is at the demand of the WEF.

477 But I will give Meathead credit for correctly noting we live in a constitutional republic and not a democracy. He might be the first leftist I've seen state that properly in years.

I wouldn't. You know he means Republicans must do what him and his Tranzi buddies want and call it Constitutional.

478 Didn't Mexico arrest an America for bringing a gun into Mexico that was legitimately an accident and he was in jail for years?

I vaguely recall they had a US Marine in jail for quite a while in Jaurez. When I lived in Las Cruces we'd see news stories of El Paso cops who get stuck in the bridge traffic going to Mexico and were immediately arrested once they got to the other side.

482 Do any of these asshole democrats know anything about economics? They're running wild like fucking animals.

Now let's consider climate change and green energy. Cocksuckers, all of them.

483 What would Trump have done if Russia invaded Ukraine

Probably met with Putin, applied diplomatic pressure, cut back on purchases from Russia, but otherwise not much.

Keep in mind though, that he didn't HAVE to do anything, because Putin invaded Ukraine and Georgia under Obama, then did nothing for 4 years while Trump was president, and in the first year of Biden's administration started moving on Ukraine.

Almost as if, you know, he didn't want to do anything while a strong president was in office.

-------------

There wouldn't have been anyone whispering in Zelenski's ear, telling him to hold out, because American troops are on the way. Zelenski would have probably accepted help from the US negotiating with Putin.

485 Christopher R Taylor at July 01, 2022 02:46 PM (llsW/) -- Well that's what I'd assume as well, but didn't Trump threaten Putin with destruction of Moscow if Russia attacked Ukraine?

486 380 Rob Reiner@robreiner
Today's latest SCOTUS decision is the culmination of 50 years of the GOP's concerted effort to destroy our Constitutional Republic and replace it with Authoritarian White Nationalism. We've been caught napping. Fight back! Be strategic. Hold the House. Add 2 Senate seats.

Good luck with that, Meathead.

He doesn't actually believe the ruling is Authoritarian. He believes that the people he has contempt for in states that he has contempt for and has never, ever met are all "Authoritarian White Nationalist," and that they will now get more of a say in how their country is run.

Therefore, in meathead's book - more freedom = more authoritarianism

487 Remember Sundowner told Putin a little war would be ok

Posted by: Skip at July 01, 2022 02:51 PM (2JoB8)

488 Not to mention that the idea Russia would "move beyond Ukraine" is laughably stupid. At least if you can believe all the pro-Ukraine propaganda about how badly Russia is doing. I tend to believe the overall theme, though I don't believe the daily "rUsSiA iS LoSiNg" BS at all.

Considering how this slog through Ukraine is going, Russia isn't going anywhere else, least of all further west into more traditional Europe

489 This is a bit of a red herring from the left;

The EU is getting fucked, sure, especially on natgas, but US gas prices are not being driven primarily by the war. Making a bunch of noise about "the cost is worth it!" is distracting from the point that the cost isn't FROM it.
