I keep waiting for people to remember how Rs damage the economy and the nation's standing when they are in power. Then I remember they keep messing with education and outlawing history. bsky.app/profile/umbr...

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

Like a kidnapper feeding you a sandwich Republicans will tell you to be grateful when gas goes from $4.00 back down to $3.50 without ever addressing how the f we got here in the first place

Military power is not only force that shapes the world. Economic power is just as lethal. The petrodollar faces pressure as Middle Eastern nations diversify, oil trades expand beyond dollars, and instability from the Iran war prompts reviews of overseas investments.

It’s fascinating that Floridamort here is not in prison for stealing billions from Medicare and out here lying to our face

Politicians who only look backward, biden did this obama did that, should never be elected into office, democrat or republican. It shows they are not leaders, they’re manipulators.

"Venezuelan oil coming on"? They have trouble producing a million barrels a day, and there are limited refineries that can handle their oil. With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, that's 20 million barrels a day lost, plus LNG, plus helium, plus urea. He knows this. Lying POS.

I wonder how much Oil lobbyists are paying these GOP grifters? Yet again Dems, when in full power, investigate the money trail, seize assets, this should not be allowed while in Public Office. If it is, close that loophole. You become a Public servant to serve, not get rich, they are stealing.

This is Joe Biden's fault and will continue to be his fault until noon on January 20, 2029, at which point it will become the newly inaugurated Democrat's fault, and it will remain that guy's fault until the Trump economy finally kicks in sometime in 2030.

But when Biden was President it was his fault for sure. Even though in Biden’s case it was after affects of a pandemic that hit the world and in Trump‘s case he followed Bibi’s orders to attack Iran needlessly.

Scott doesn't have to care about paying more for anything. Scott is set for life after getting big bonus checks for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from Medicare!

Wikipedia: In a July 2018 financial disclosure statement, Scott and his wife reported earnings of at least $2.9 million in hedge funds registered in the Cayman Islands, a well-known tax haven.

Do you have any idea how much PPP and other pandemic funds were stolen in every state? Has anyone asked Rick Scott if he returned the $15mil he "borrowed" from the RNC? MN knew about the fraud and were already investigating with the FBI. They'd already made arrests. That's how Shirley found out.

And most of his wealth was due to a huge payment to make him go away. Now he thinks Senatorial insider trading is OK too. Rick Scott should decide to be either a business man investor or a politician-can't be both.

I wonder how many R pols and members of Trump's admin bought stock in Exxon Mobil or Shell, or bet on Polymarket in the wee small hours before the 1st bombs fell? I ask in relation to Scott because of his past troubles with dubious pricing / billing for healthcare... 🙄

I love how he says Obama and Biden tried to destroy our oil industry. If the R's didn't fight Obama and Biden we would have way more clean energy and oil prices wouldn't be as impactful

Do not forget Russia, the sanctions are lifted, they can sell their oil on a premium so more money for they corrupt war against Ukraine. I am sure that was Putin's plan along with Netanyahu Trump just saying something to cover things up.

All Americans do Is to continually sacrifice. Sick of the GOP and their Bullshit !!!!!!!! An illegal fucking war no Congressional approval !!! Sick of the corruption of this Regime !!!!!!!

I have to believe most of the GOP don't show their faces when they run for re-election and get back in on name recognition alone. There's no way this ghoul of a man would be a senator if people saw what he looked like during voting season.

Reason #1,276 that Republicans are completely out of touch with working people: *Most* middle-class people are one 'more expensive gas' away from total ruin.

Hold up, American oil and gas coming on? We don’t have refineries for our oil. We have to sell it and buy oil from other countries who we put tariffs on. Do you know how unbelievably stupid that is? To tariff imported oil? So, we pay more for oil than we sell ours for.

Temu Voldemort, fresh off his “CEO of Medicare fraud”campaign to steal billions of our tax dollars, rolls into office and tells us WE’RE going to have to deal with the pain. I’ve been hearing about short-term pain and long-term gain from sycophantic Republicans for 10 fucking years now, idiot.

with Rs its always blame the Ds. Both Biden and Obama weren't trying to destroy the oil industry they were on course to move America to alternative energy sources.. Like wind and solar and EVs But because are stuck on stupid we are forced into paying more at the pump while they cash in on the market

I work in oil and gas. The administration is lying to you if you think American producers are going to ramp up production. Share buybacks, hedging production, and paying down debt. Capex budgets for 2026 have already been set. We also have lost refining capacity, which = higher gas/diesel prices

HOW TO BE A CON MAN 101: quote from my stepdad:: take the cheap one now, I’ll buy you the good one later. Guess when it was later? Some of the GOP seem to be looking for the door.

'With Venezuela coming on … with American oil and gas coming on … with hopefully a “positive” resolution to this conflict, then prices will come down even further.'😳 It sounds like the real goal of Trump 2.0 war tactics (conflicts per republicans) is to increase 🇺🇸’s control & monopolizing oil/gas.

I’m fascinated that he thinks there can now be a “positive resolution” to this illegal war. What is the possible positive outcome? The human costs are already too high to be positive.

We know that you fuck! Gas in Florida has climbed nearly $1/gallon in about 10 days. Add on the food prices and now sky high doctors bills without adequate coverage and Florida constituents are suffering. A Florida Revolution will come midterm for Scott and Fine too. Release the Epstein files.

Meanwhile...in the REAL World Under Biden, the U.S. was pumping oil faster than ever. GOP tried blaming high prices on Biden’s clean energy policies, even though the U.S. was churning out record amounts of oil. www.politico.com/news/2023/08...
