It’s doubtful because then he would have to admit he was wrong.
And he’d piss off the far left.

Zero sympathy for all the morons looking for gas right now.You should’ve bought an EV. I laugh at all you dummies.


Plus, there isn’t a shortage anyway. There’s plenty of gasoline available.

First, this isn’t a crisis. This is bunch of rednecks in the south who can’t find gas for the ‘Hemi at the local truckstop and fishing bait shack. Second, this is all on orange doofus. He had four years to fix this and prevent hacking, and didn’t do squat.

If you’re looking for someone to blame look no further than Maralogo

Wonder if inside job?

Colonial Pipeline's owners are

Koch Industries (a.k.a. Koch Capital Investments Company LLC, 28.09% stake ownership)

Sounds like something they would do.

I'm really confused at why so many people need so much gas right now. We've been using one tank every two to three weeks, at most, during the pandemic.

Think FOX has really gotten the dummies to panic to make a one week situation stretch out.

People don't need more gas now. As soon as the pipeline hack news broke, people started buying gas regardless of need. The gas shortage is caused by panic buying only.

No. Service vehicles usually don’t drive around with full tanks of gas daily. However, since their jobs and businesses rely on their service vehicles being able to reach the customer, those vehicles are filing their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers are filling their vehicle tanks. Regular consumers- not the people in the two photos shown, who are clear outliers- don’t have storage for hoarding gasoline or the extra money for buying large quantities of gasoline.

People are panicking because there is a shortage. There is not a shortage because people are panicking. The pipeline that supplies the entire east coast is offline.

The pipeline was shutdown last Saturday. It will likely be up again by the weekend. The U.S. does keep small amounts of gas in reserve. The gas is gone because people bought it when they didn't need it because of the hack.

DH just went to three different gas stations in MoCo. All sold out.

This is a bit like the people who horded TP and hand sanitizers during the pandemic, and then couldn't figure out how to offload them all.

Gas can go bad/old. I hope those people who are hording gas have an exit strategy on what they are planning to do with all that extra gas.

But not around us at the moment.

Same thing as toilet paper a year ago. It's not "scary" and no, DCUM, you can't blame Trump for it.

Why is this thread even in the political forum?

I can and will blame the gop for this. I believe they are involved with Russia in perpetrating this now as their are preparing their nominees for elections. They are intentionally trying to wreck the economy to hurt Biden like Covid did Trump.

Totally different scenarios. I’m glad covid happened because it hurt trump. But this isn’t the same.

There isn't any evidence to support your claims.

In 50 years when our air, water quality is so bad from the pollutants will you say, "Why didn't the current administration have foresight about all this pollution"?

Why didn't Bush have foresight about 9/11?
Why didn't Trump have foresight about covid pandemic?
Why didn't Biden have foresight about the hacking?

BTW, it was the Russians who hacked the system. But, if you ask Trump, I'm sure he'd say something like, "I personally asked Putin, and he said the Russians had nothing to do with it, and I believe him."

We’d rather prepare. My husband, a huge leftist, was off on a bike ride blissfully unaware. I filled up his truck for him, as well as mine last night. I also told my adult kids to do same and all three heeded my advice. Husband has learned not to laugh after I bought extra toilet paper and got some masks before the Covid crisis really hit, due to the buzz. He went through almost all the toilet paper despite me asking him to leave that case in reserve because he thought I was ‘crazy’. Then the crisis hit and I realized what happened (he lied about not using it). He had to get up at 5 AM and get online at a store and STILL got the last 12 pack. Came home shell-shocked. Good think I hid those masks. I also got a hand sanitizer dispenser and put it out in the garage.

I have a small business and managed to get another case and a case of paper towels a couple weeks later through a janitorial supply service only businesses had access to.

Never change liberals and hope to hell you have a “Trump supporter” to (literally) CYA in a crisis
