Biden Promised To End New Drilling On Federal Land, But Approvals Are Up

BILLINGS, Mont. — Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president, underscoring President Joe Biden's reluctance to more forcefully curb petroleum production in the face of industry and Republican resistance.

The Interior Department approved about 2,500 permits to drill on public and tribal lands in the first six months of the year, according to an Associated Press analysis of government data. That includes more than 2,100 drilling approvals since Biden took office January 20.


On a pace for 6,000 permits, the most since 2008

So many lies being spread that they’ve stopped all drilling or even all drilling on public lands. That is complete fiction! RW media is spreading this to try to blame Biden for what is a National rise in oil prices.

 

It sounds like the lie being spread was by Biden, during the campaign, when he promised to "end new drilling on federal land":

He didn't do that. Biden is a liar. What do his lies have to do with the "RW media"? What am I missing here?

 

Yes he did. And the right is lying claiming all drilling has stopped.

 

Why don't you offer some evidence of this? Why didn't you cite one of those articles in your OP? Instead you cited this NPR article, which, AFAICT, doesn't have anything to do with "RW media" and does nothing to prove your assertion about what RW media is saying. It just confirms that Biden is a liar.

 

So, will Pelosi impeach Biden?

Do you have source for that? A Republican or right winger "claiming all drilling has stopped."?

 

Campaign lies aren’t impeachable.

 

Shucks!

 

Sure they are. The last impeachment was over a political rally. Anything's impeachable that Congress can assemble the votes to impeach over.

One thing the Democrats have done over the last few years is drastically lower the bar for what that is. Going forward, I expect most presidents will be impeached. Way to go, Nancy!

ETA: The next Congress can start here, pick their favorite X number of lies, and begin impeachment proceedings.

 

Probably why we are expected to produce more oil this year than ever before in or history.

 

Trumps 2nd impeachment was for using lies about fraud to incite a riot intended to topple American democracy.

 

This just confirms what I've been telling you: if telling lies is now impeachable, which appears to be the new standard Nancy has established, bring on the Biden impeachment 2023:

Nothing President Trump said even remotely approaches the legal definition of "incite a riot". It was all regular political speech well within the bounds protected by the First Amendment. As for the riot's intent, the FBI themselves have found that there was NOT some grand plan to "topple American democracy". Your posts are taking after Biden's habit of dissembling now.

BTW, I'll note that you appear to have completely abandoned your unsupported smear of "RW media" from the OP.

 

Everything is impeachable now. ROFL!

 

You know, the RW propaganda spin cycle is in full mode.

 

Actually, it now appears to be much more than just lies.

 

Well one doesn't need an article to see how much that claim is made by the Right, here at PF. Presumably, some of them cite RW articles, as links, or else at least got their ideas, originally, from such RW coverage. Does that not seem to logically follow?

 

So when did he re-start them?

 

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" - Steven Chu in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September 2008.

This is the Democrats true agenda, if we have to go hungry in order to drive anywhere.....so be it I guess.

 

Impeached after he's already out of office? Just another shiny object to amuse the left so they don't focus on what ole Joe and the Democrats have screwed the country.

 

He was still president when he got impeached the 2nd time

 

So was Bill Clinton what's your point. Lied and and obstructed Justice while under oath to a Federal Grand Jury.

 

but ...but ... it was about a bl0w job! Only certain lies before a Grand Jury are impeachable to Dems.

 

My point is you said he was out of office for the 2nd one. That wasn’t true.

 

No one claimed that. The left has to invent their own arguments.

 

Oh my memory ain't what it used to be, especially for the tripe the Democrats were trying to sell the American people. None of it matters. In November the Democrats will be swept out of Congress with the rubbish. Two years later you will have a Republican President too. It's as inevitable as the tide.
