Ah, so you figure to let Putin totally reassemble the Soviet Union and Ukraine is just the opening round and THAT in itself is BARBARIC the way they are killing civilians and one case of Russian soldiers raping a ONE YEAR OLD BOY to death and that because PUTIN TOLD THEM TO DO THAT KIND OF THING because it is supposed to demoralize the civilians into maybe caving in and letting them just take over.
But none of that matters to a TRAITOR like you, let Putin take over the whole fulkling WORLD for all you care.
So YES the ENTIRE civilized world is doing sanctions against a barbaric dictator.

Yeah, DeJoy....Problem is, Biden can't just fire him.
I dunno. Trump got the Board of Governors to fire Brennan, one of the best PMGs we've had in a while (AND a woman!). Trump also replaced 3 of the board members with "his people", just like the Supreme Court.

Seems like we'll be paying for Trump's malfeasance for quite a while.

Let's pray he doesn't make it back to the WH.

Or that assswipe Dejoy, I'm sure you know ALL about him🙂
How can that frigging criminal keep going in the post office? I know they have to replace that Trumpite board but haven't they got a majority of real people in there right now to get rid of this cretin?
They had two hardline Republicans, and Trump replaced three of the rest with Trumpers, including the chairman. So that's what's wrong with that. Five is an overwhelming majority. The Board of Governors only has 7 members.

Russia did not impose sanctions on itself. Don't be stupid.
Russia is the only nation trying to help.

You condone wrongdoing from democrats and anything that contradicts your false narrative you call a conspiracy theory so you can let the democrat crimina ...[text shortened]... vated parrot. You are Putin's puppet...squawk. We need to punish ourselves to punish Putin...squawk.
Newsflash: Biden's not in control of corporations. Wall Street is pushing this, despite your idiotic conspiracy-theory websites spewing stupidity.

Didn't Biden can at least 2 of them? I guess that would not have been enough to get majority.
Dejoy is in deep doo doo legally, some kind of fraud hanging over him, but he is hanging on with all he has, probably getting hush money in a Cayman Island account.......

Biden is in control of enforcing antitrust laws, which he is asleep at the wheel so oil refiners can gouge us without being held accountable. United States of Oligarchy.

He is pretending to care now. He is asking them why.

You mean Biden cannot do what he is proposing? LOL!

From the link below:

"In Germany and the UK, fuel companies are facing new government inquiries to determine if high fuel prices are the result of anti-competitive practices—the kind of review that president Joe Biden asked the Federal Trade Commission to conduct last fall, and that is still ongoing."

https://qz.com/2176879/gas-prices-are-so-high-theyre-making-governments-suspicious/?utm_source=YPL

From the link below:

Are you saying Biden is an idiotic conspiracy theorist spewing stupidity? The UK and Germany too?

From the link below:

"Oil prices were pressured by reports that U.S. Senate Finance Committee chair Ron Wyden plans to introduce legislation setting a 21% surtax on oil company profits considered excessive, an aide told Reuters.

The bill would apply a 21% additional tax on excess profits of oil and gas companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue, the aide said."

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-bounces-around-tight-supply-020530880.html

Why doesn't Biden talk about Ron Wyden's plan?
I'll bet the American people would overwhelmingly support Wyden's plan if they knew about it. The corporate news media will not mention it, except on websites like the one I just posted.

Watch the TV nightly news today and tell me if they make even one mention of Wyden's plan. Then write Biden a letter asking him if he will openly support Wyden's bill and sign it if it gets to his desk. If Biden is not a corrupt tool of the oligarchy he will do everything he can to bring attention to Wyden's bill.

OF COURSE for you, a Putin lover, would say it is ALL Biden's fault, great work COMRADE.
Biden wants you to buy an EV that is not safe.

https://www.wnd.com/2022/07/firefighters-issue-warning-ev-fires-require-10x-water-put-10000-gallons-water/

Remember, the Chevron guy said there may never be a new refinery built because you will drive an EV instead of an ICE vehicle. This is what that will lead to.

The oil refiners must be really happy with Biden. He is trying to bring down the price of oil so they can continue price fixing and rake in the profits at the consumer's expense.

People do not seem to know the difference between oil and refined fuel. Hey suzi, you cannot put oil in your gas tank. Your car does not run on oil. Saudi Arabia does not sell refined fuel. You are still going to get screwed by the refiners. They are price fixing and Biden is doing nothing about it.

It's all a grift:

Senate Republicans block movement on two bills to spur renewable energy investment

Republicans block green energy while serve the fossil fuel industry and allow them to make moves like this.

Democrat Joe Manchin is blocking it too. You cannot blame only republicans.
