Q

March 11, 2020

The party of “Q” has become the party of Quislings. In the middle of what could be WW III punctuated by nuclear warfare, the Republican Party has decided that it is going to make the price of gas an issue. While President Biden is successfully holding together the western world and NATO in its fight against Russian aggression, the GOP is displaying its patriotism by ginning up anger over higher gas prices. This is the kind of divisiveness that Putin hopes to take advantage of.

Gas prices were going up before Russia invaded Ukraine and have continued to rise as we try to choke off Russia’s exports, but the Republican narrative has it all wrong. They want you to believe that stimulus checks and the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline project are the culprits. They are correct when they say that we were net energy exporters under Trump, but Trump just happened to be in the right place at the right time because we were heading in that direction anyway going back to Bush and Obama. When COVID hit, the price of a barrel of oil cratered to the mid-thirties, causing many producers to shut down production, which led to today’s shortages. Producers are still playing catch-up as demand has surged with a vengeance, leading to higher prices. OPEC and our “friends,” the Saudis, have refused to pump more oil to mitigate prices.

Republican Party Quacks should just be Quiet, and Quit carping about gas prices. There will be plenty of time for their false claims once Putin is, hopefully, Quickly defeated.
