To this dumbfuck @SaltyGoat17 who thinks these are "gotcha questions"....
Numbers 1, 2, 4 were restrictions on new federal access, NOT shutdowns of existing drilling. As a matter of fact stupid fuck, oil production rose to record levels under the Biden administration in those years bcos most growth comes from private land and from leases already issued.
As for the Keystone Pipeline:
Biden did not kill the Keystone pipeline. It's been operational since 2010.
The Keystone XL pipeline, however, was NEVER operational. So you can't decrease oil supply from a pipeline that never existed. Besides, none of the Keystone XL oil was meant for the U.S. It was being shipped overseas.
As far as oil and gas leases:
Federal data shows the Biden administration approved 3,557 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first year, far out pacing the first Trump administration's first-year total of 2,658.
As far as the oil reserves:
Your cult leader Donald Trump passed FOUR laws requiring the sell of oil reserves from the SPR
- Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
- Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018
- Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018
- America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018
Biden was FOLLOWING THOSE LAWS.
And THAT is just how fucking stupid @SaltyGoat17 truly is.

OIL. WAR. CONSEQUENCES.
TRUMP BLAMES BIDEN.
2022 — BIDEN SOLD HIGH.
• Released 180 million barrels
• Oil was around $95–96/barrel
• Helped ease the Ukraine supply shock
• Lowered gas prices
2023–2024 — BIDEN BOUGHT LOW.
• Bought back about 200 million barrels
• More than he sold
• Paid about $74.75/barrel
• Generated $2+ billion for taxpayers
• Reserve stood at 415 million barrels
2026 — TRUMP WENT TO WAR.
• Coordinated conflict with Iran
• Oil surged to about $126/barrel
• Strait of Hormuz disrupted
• Global energy crisis followed
2026 — TRUMP EMERGENCY RELEASE.
• Authorized up to 172 million barrels
• Nearly as much as Biden released
• Used because oil stayed over $100/barrel
• Part of a 400-million-barrel international emergency effort to calm markets
TODAY
• SPR: 311.4 million barrels
• Lowest level since March 1983
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE…
Maybe launching a war involving one of the world’s major oil producers—and the world’s most important oil shipping route—wasn’t the best time to drain the emergency reserve instead of building it back up first.
Another shitty thing Trump gas fine.
@PastorBro1@Trish1855911779@Q_TheStormRider All caused by tRump and his lack of covid response. Biden helped bring inflation down and tRump again driving it up with his illegal tariffs
Sure. Among current Trump admin officials with past criticism of U.S. military action or regime change in Iran, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has the clearest record of resurfaced posts. RFK Jr. (HHS) has general warnings too.
Ranking by directness/irony in 2026 context:
1. Gabbard, Jan 2020: "“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran... Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War!"
2. Gabbard, Jan 2020: Voted for No War with Iran Act; "War with Iran would make the Iraq and Afghanistan wars seem like a picnic."
3. RFK Jr., Sep 2024: Warned against "unnecessary, disastrous" neocon pivot to wars with Iran/China, favoring diplomacy over conflict.
Past views vs. current policy reflect evolving threats.
@Oldwomen323@RossSchumann@GinaHinojosaTX Interesting enough, Ercot is not federally regulated like other electrical providers. After Ercots failure in the 1st freeze of 2020, pricing has continued to rise every year.
@Kim781600925901@dandinohill@warren_wis71140 Reagan was the first president to shift wealth from the middle class to the wealthy through lowering rich and corporate tax rate. What do you see today? Is our government working for the people or tRump personal agenda?
