So you aren't capable of telling us how they can legally tap it, you want me to go read the laws... again as if that will clear up the point you can't justify. Got it.

Have your caretaker read this and explain it to you.
Obviously, you can't get it without pictures.
The law is not my opinion or feelings, and not for me to interpret for you.
A super-smart guy like you should know this.

(d)Presidential finding prerequisite to drawdown and sale
(1)
Drawdown and sale of petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve may not be made unless the President has found drawdown and sale are required by a severe energy supply interruption or by obligations of the United States under the international energy program.
(2)For purposes of this section, in addition to the circumstances set forth in section 6202(8) of this title, a severe energy supply interruption shall be deemed to exist if the President determines that—
(A)
an emergency situation exists and there is a significant reduction in supply which is of significant scope and duration;
(B)
a severe increase in the price of petroleum products has resulted from such emergency situation; and

such price increase is likely to cause a major adverse impact on the national economy.

I understand that to Democrats this is a list they can use to get away with shit. They pick out items from the list, make them happen, tap the reserves just in time for votes. Yeah, we get it.

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I am asking you ROB, which items did they pick out to use?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

Giving you the actual text of the law is a "far left go-to tactc"?
And yet you insist Biden has "illegally" tapped the Strategic Reserve.

I now fully picture you as either a basement dwelling teenager, or a full-blown whackjob adult who is just as likely to commit a mass murder as to be chatting in this forum.
The pizza delivery gig at 47 y.o. is making even more sense now.

You said it was illegal. The CFR says he is SUPPOSED to do it.

So, which one is it? Illegal, or required?

Again, you spoke without knowing a thing.
Why?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

"They pick out items from the list, make them happen,"

OK. Tell us which items they picked out and made happen.

And you say I don't answer questions. Good job, you have avoided it what, 3 or 4 times now and still wont say what excuse they are using and or for what crisis. Good job... What would you call it? Ironic? Hypocrisy? Stupidity? Painted in a corner? ✌

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

"They pick out items from the list, make them happen,"

OK. Tell us which items they picked out and made happen.

You aren't flipping this around. Douche bag. ✌

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

You aren't flipping this around. Douche bag. ✌

So, you just FEEL that they pick out stuff from law and "make it happen", just like you just FEEL the 1975 law is bullshit?
How is it you never "felt" it was safe to step in front of a speeding bus?
Facts be damned...

Keep avoiding it. LOL

OK. I'll stop avoiding it. Back on topic:
Tell us how Biden is "illegally tapping" the SPR.

You are 100% avoiding it. You said he is legally tapping it. I said tell us what excuse he is using to legally tap it, what crisis? You won't answer. ✌

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

The law says he has the authority to do it. I proved that.
If he does it, he does it under the authority of law.

YOU claimed it is illegal. Tell us what action that he did is illegal.

Here is the legal authority. Again.

No, you proved there is a list under the law. What is this administration claiming from this list as th reason to tap the reserves. It's a straight forward question. If you don't know then just say you don't. But don't drone on and on clinging to nothing until the end.
