October surprise? Why OPEC's planned price hike could pummel Democrats

[Saint Guinefort]

the most flipping can hope to accomplish over the next two years is to prevent Biden from making things worse by closing the checkbook and preventing war. then in 2024 repair can begin as always happens after democrat presidencies.

the adults always have to clean up the messes of the children.

What war specifically? You mean the one Putin started because he'd gotten all he could out of Trump and Trump didn't get re-elected to finish off NATO altogether?

yes the war he started to eliminate Russia's influence over Europe via energy. and, of course, supporting the neo-nazi's in UKR.

You realize it was Putin who started the war by invading Ukraine, right?

Or are you just another Russian propagandist like Anatta was before he got conscripted.

supporting the neo-nazi's in UKR.

That was Putin who was doing that.

Putin put the Nazis in there beginning in 2014, then pretended as if he wanted to get rid of them.

The midterm elections are weeks away and OPEC+ is threatening to cut oil production. That’s not good news for you, the consumer; it’s also not good news for President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats.

Biden’s bump up in the polls over the past few months tracked declining gasoline prices. For nearly 100 days, gas prices went down. They peaked at a record high of more than $5 per gallon in June and reached a low of $3.67. Now, at $3.80, they have begun to head back up.

According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Joe Biden’s "disapprove" rating peaked at the end of June at 57.3% and dropped to 53.1% in mid-September, along with the slide in gasoline prices. Since then, the percentage of voters expressing disapproval of Biden has inched higher, and GOP chances are looking brighter......

==============================================


OPEC + (+=Russia) announced a 2,000,0000 barrel a day cut . That along with America's decline in production as a result to Biden's anti fossil fuel policies and the closing of the construction XL Pipeline which would be pumping 900,000 barrels a day to Texas refineries and now the Strategic Oil Reserve is down to 40% capacity. All bad signs for future oil prices . Buckle up.

Russia, of course, isn't OPEC. While OPEC doesn't control the oil market, that much less oil on the market will cause prices to rise.

All while the States are sitting on plenty of oil, but can't use it thanks to idiots like Biden.

 

[Into the Night]

Wait wait wait...so now you are agreeing with me in that OPEC controls the global market and can increase or decrease the price per barrel at their will, and there's nothing we in the US can do about it.

ISN'T THAT WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TIME??????

And now you're gonna pretend like you made this revelation to everyone's surprise...even though I've been saying that same thing for years and you've been arguing with me about it.

FFS, are all Conservatives just full of shit like this? Well, we know they all want to stare at naked kids.

OPEC cannot increase the price per barrel at will. No one ever said it could. However, less oil on the market while demand is high does cause prices to increase.
You know, the States could do something about this, but Biden won't let them. We have plenty of oil, but can't get at it.

 

[Into the Night]

I believe voters are smart enough to see this for what it is. Saudis like Trumpublicans because they embrace the same ideas, taking away personal freedoms.

Saudis only like Saudis. OPEC is more than just Saudi Arabia.
Crime is not a personal freedom.

 

[ExpressLane]

You may be right. Clearly OPEC is more than happy to be in bed with Putin and work in accordance with what Putin wants. That was exactly what Trump specialized in. Perhaps Trump could suck on Vlad's "Little Tsar" for a little bit and work out some killer deals on oil!

Perhaps Biden could get Hunter to sell Putin the nuclear codes for cash and Russian prostitutes.

What war specifically? You mean the one Putin started because he'd gotten all he could out of Trump and Trump didn't get re-elected to finish off NATO altogether?

Clearly your phimosis is constricting your brain. Trump got NATO 100 billion more dollars that the deadbeats in Europe weren't paying their child support payments.


NATO allies’ spending has gone up
“For years, the United States was being treated very unfairly by NATO — but now we have secured a $100 billion dollar increase in defense spending from NATO allies.”

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said last summer that NATO allies had spent $41 billion more toward defense since President Trump took office. He said in an interview with Fox News on Jan. 27 that NATO allies will have added $100 billion extra toward defense by the end of 2020.

Which is why it would be stupid to vote for Republicans since they plunged manufacturing into a recession for all of 2019, and then the rest of the economy followed the month before any COVID lockdowns.

DEMOCRATS caused the economic depression of 2019 (that is still with us). DEMOCRATS caused the lockdowns. Not Trump.

All with a tax cut that was supposed to lead to growth of "at least 3%".

Tax cuts do not cause covid19, dumbass.

Actual growth: 2.85%, which was lower than Obama's best annual growth of 2.89%.

Government growth isn't the economy, dumbass.

So even with a $2.5T tax cut you still couldn't beat Obama.

Why would he want to beat Obama in growing the government?????!?

 

[Saint Guinefort]

Hunter wasn't involved in Russia. You are thinking of Ukraine.

As for the prostitutes, you may be thinking of whoremaster Trump.

 

[Saint Guinefort]

Clearly your phimosis is constricting your brain.

You like you some Vlad Putin?

Good for you. If you hate America why don't you leave?

It's always fun to read your posts. I never realized someone could be anenecephalic AND still operate a computer!

 

[Into the Night]

Reminder that we are in this mess because you, Trump, and all your "very fine people" called COVID a hoax and didn't take it seriously.

No. Because you, Democrats, and Biden created the hoax of 'deadly' covid19 and locked down and destroyed businesses, starting the economic depression that is still with us today. DEMOCRATS locked down businesses, dumbass.

And that was after you had already lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs and plunged the economy into a recession a month before any COVID lockdowns were ordered.

DEMOCRATS again.

U.S. manufacturing was in a mild recession during 2019, a sore spot for the economy

An economic depression is NOT a 'mild recession'.

Recession officially started in February, researchers say

The current economic depression started in 2019, with the Democrats shutting down businesses over fear mongering using covid19 as the 'crisis'.

And when it comes to children, are those the same kids to strip naked for Ted Cruz and Roy Moore so they can judge whether or not that kid's got large enough breasts to play women's sports, you fucking pervert groomer?!?????

That too is caused by Democrats.

 

[Into the Night]

FFS don't you understand that the amount of oil that the US produces has an effect on the world oil supply.

He doesn't understand how markets work. Remember, all he knows about economy was taught to him by socialists.

 

[Into the Night]

Yeah, saw this this morning. It's a tough one, though. OPEC+ wants to hedge their bets against a possible recession and decrease in demand which would crater the prices for them. Can't really blame capitalists for being capitalists I suppose. (And this has nothing to do with Keystone which was meant to pump Alberta tar sands oil down to ports to be exported and sold elsewhere. That oil wasn't intended for the US and won't see the US)

But by the same token if the Middle East and associated folks (including Russia) want America controlled by the Right again this is the best possible time to do this. It will definitely aid the GOP in retaking the legislature.

This might actually work to Russia's goals given the GOP's current preference for Russian autocrats, but I don't think it will be great for most of the other OPEC+ members.

Driving by the gas station the other day made me glad I went EV.

Ah. So you like wasting hours of your time constantly recharging your car, and that you support strip mining and child slavery.
Which one is it? A Tesla?

Too bad you are clueless how supplies get moved around. Supplies you order from Amazon and other places, or how electricity to charge your car is generated.

Or maybe you live in the SDTC, where you don't have enough electricity to charge your car.

Yeah, that's exactly what I want.

Which one is it? A Tesla?

You wouldn't know if I told you.

Too bad you are clueless how supplies get moved around. Supplies you order from Amazon and other places.

Too bad you're a douche. At least I can learn about shipping. You'd need ECT.

Actually OPEC + is OPEC Plus Russia they have been cooperating together.

One of my favorite things on JPP is watching Conservatives come to the same conclusion today that I came to a decade ago.

 

[Into the Night]

Yes! Let's talk about the economy.

Specifically, let's talk about how you and your Nazi "very fine people" ended the longest economic expansion in American history a month before any COVID lockdowns started.

DEMOCRATS did that, dumbass.

Let's talk about how Conservatives and their Nazi pals lost 30M jobs because you called COVID a hoax.

DEMOCRATS did that, dumbass.

Let's talk about how your shitty tax cuts cost 300,000 manufacturing jobs in 2019,

Tax cuts do not cut manufacturing jobs nor cause covid19.

and only thanks to Biden did we recover all those jobs and added some more.

No. Those jobs are GONE. Businesses destroyed thanks to DEMOCRATS.

Let's talk about how Conservative Presidents haven't created a single net private sector job in 30 years.

Presidents don't create private sector jobs.

Let's talk about how The US dollar is at its strongest in 20 years during Biden, while during Trump, it fell to its weakest point in 50 years.

The dollar has been losing value...fast. People are already looking around for another currency. Inflation is rampant.

So yeah, it is the economy...and when it comes to the economy, Republicans always fail to deliver.

Democrats again.

That's why the last 5 Republican Presidents left behind stinking economies in their wake for Democrats to fix.

The economic depression we are currently in was started by Democrats, and Democrats are keeping it going.
