>>1516753https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60936468Was it considered manipulating the oil market when Joe Biden release the strategic petrolem reserve to reduce the price of gas before the midterms?
>>1516764>yeah it’s blatant insider trading and manipulation but democrats did it too so it’s fine
>>1516767Was releasing the strategic oil reserves to reduce the price of gasoline manipulating the oil market?Yes or no?
>>1516771probably. are you a braindead migagolem, yes or no?
>>1516772Nope.I am glad we could agree that Trump does not exist in a vacuum, and his actions could be compared to other presidents
>>1516773and his actions resulting in the closure of the strait of hormuz are presidentially unprecedented
>>1516777What do you mean?This seems precedented.Obama expanded the scope of fighting in the middle east to Libya and started bombing them.George Bush blew up Iraq and AfghanistanHW Bush blew up Iraq in Gulf War 1 to defend KuwaitRonald Reagan deployed Marines to Lebanon
>>1516780you sure are obtuse today mr shill

>>1516773>>1516771>>1516764Did Biden's cronies bet on the price of oil minutes before Biden released the strategic reserve? No? Then shut the fuck up.
>>1516783>everyone I disagree with is automatically a demWhy are you like this?
The president is not allowed to make decisions to effect oil prices. This is definitely illegal but the cowards in Congress are bought and sold and won't impeach over this
>>1516767NTA>kills the Keystone XL project>halts development in Alaska>tries to halt in the Gulf of Mex - I mean America, until a judge slaps him>halts new leases on public lands>increased taxes, royalties and fees on production>increased EPA restrictions>bans oil trade with Russia (don't care why, he still did this)>rejoins Paris agreement>funneled money into green energy deals that went nowhere>realized he fucked up, begs OPEC for more oil, they laugh at him, goes back to oil companies he promised to get rid of and begs them to produce now that gas is $5+ a gallon in exchange for walking back some of his EOs>......Butwhatabouttrumpism!?!Every single time.

>>1516785MAGAs never fail to talk around the actual issue.
>>1516771Did Biden place millions of dollars on trades during this? Answer: No.That's the difference.
Hi guys, op here, I edited the article to bait people, then added some dishonest editorial at the end. I do that a lot on this board
>>1516868>, I edited the article to bait peopleSpecifically I placed the lines about him trading off of the fluxuations of the market, that was a prank some of you fell for
>>1516788>Nationalize the oil industry so the billions of dollars that are currently wasted on profits go back into the pockets of the peopleProblem solved. WOW, that was hard.Certainly easier that trump starting multiple wars to jack up oil prices.
>>1516909>>Nationalize the oil industry>Problem solved. WOW, that was hard.Where has this worked? What country?
>>1516910Saudi Arabia, The UAE, Bahrain, Iran, and Russia
>>1516910America, when the people finally rise up against the corrupt kelopcratic capitalism system currently in place.
>>1516910Every country with oil but the USA, actually.
>>1516910Man, fuck the American education system>>1516912>Saudi ArabiaTechnically not nationalized, just majority state owned. That said Saudi rule over the region was backed by western powers in order to create a stable western friendly power structure within which Saudi Aramco could operate, making the situation borderline equivalent with the Company rule period in India, so separating the company from the government doesn't make practical sense.
>>1516789>don't know which side ur on from the language you use? retard>You talk good so I done know ur a demHa ha - don't get too used to fancy talk you'll be speaking Hebrew before too long (or probably Farsi when they send you to Iran to *get the uranium and totally not oil*).
>>1516771>Biden admin sells oil from our reserve>Makes insane profit for our country selling high>Slightly eases prices for the people>Refills at lower price, buys lowMAGA sees this as bad>Netanyahoo asks Trump to start another war >Economy already in the shitter>Trump takes full responsibility and says he doesn't care about prices or inflation>Trump and Friends make stock trades before every announcementMAGA sees this as good You are a dumb sheep in wolves' clothing. Continue to clap as your daddy rapes you and our country.
>>1516764It’s important that you point out things like this so people can understand the difference between that and this.
>>1516910Where hasn’t it worked and why is the better line of questioning
>>1516910Saudi Arabia. But they have a king that likely cares for the country, versus everywhere else where commie leeches seek to be lazy shits and steal.
>>1516930>uses MIGA>LOL HOW DO you know i"m a democrat everyone WHO DISAGREES is a dem HUH HUH!!!ya you're a braindead retardyou're on the level of someone using the N word and going HOW DO YOU KNOW I"M A RACIST HUH, IS EVERYONE WHO DISagrees with YOU a RACIST
>>1516788Trump attacking Iran caused oil to spike harder and faster than anything you mentioned
>>1516936why does nut and yahoo want a war with iran?>>Trump takes full responsibility and says he doesn't care about prices or inflationyep>Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he wasn’t thinking about Americans’ finances “even a little bit” as he negotiates with Iran to end the warhttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/president-defends-remarks-americans-finances-iran-war-perfect-statemen-rcna345418
