Right-wingers are running with a story right now involving oil and Hunter Biden...

Supposedly that the President sold oil to China, and got a kickback, as did Hunter Biden.

Outside of Faux "news," is this story anyplace at all?

It's fake news for cover up regarding J6, good jobs report, et al.

that overtime, meaning the next 20 minutes, people would be able to decipher that repugs are not good for their health. I left the repug party 30 years ago and am so glad I did. They are an embarassment to our country and democracy.

Since you’re able to access Fox and hear (and repeat on a message board) what they have to say, couldn’t you also just access those other media sources and answer your own question?

That there is a "Biden crime family."

Meanwhile the guy never mentions the corruption of the Trumps.

His main "source" is Faux, of course.

The Fox News crowd just happens to skip over the fact that any increase into the system will decrease price. But that would take away a few seconds of mentioning the all powerful Hunter Biden.

up and sending it to China? No problem. Everyone loves Hunter. None of the 100s of people seeing that go on would even think of ratting. LOL

We can't control who buys it once it is in the wild. The us producers simply don't want it.

The ugly fact is that domestic suppliers have all they need and aren't interested in it. It is more expensive than their current sources.

But it does affect the world spot price, which indirectly impacts retail costs.

The rest of it all fantasy.

I figured it was fox noise, and told him stop watching that program their lying to you.

They must bring up something about this is why the energy prices are high, because he started on that too.
