@LenInMaine @TheBTCTherapist I never said we can refine enough bro this was about your original post ffs. I’m not arguing with any of your takes. Just use the correct info, or ALL the info next time. ✌️

@jetreid @TheBTCTherapist Again, we can in a limited fashion. We could never refine enough of our domestic supply to meet our daily needs without a massive investment in our current refineries. I’m not trying to sound smart. Facts are what they are.

Why is the U.S. exporting record levels of oil if I’m still paying 50% more at the pumps? Make it make sense.

@LenInMaine @TheBTCTherapist And you can bake a cake from the sun fairly easy using the right tools. FYI

That’s like saying you can bake a cake, but leaving out the part about needing an oven. Sure… you can bake a cake using the sun, but it’s dramatically more difficult, and dramatically more inefficient. The U.S. produces mostly light, sweet crude (easy to refine, low sulfur). Most U.S. refineries (especially along the Gulf Coast) are built to run heavier, sour crude which often comes from places like Canada and Latin America.

@LenInMaine @TheBTCTherapist Yes I know this, but this statement contradicts your first comment. Maybe instead of saying can’t refine the oil you should say we mix US oil with Canada/mexico heavy crude for OPTIMAL production. Our oil can still be refined in our refineries but efficiency takes a hit.

@jetreid @TheBTCTherapist U.S. refineries use a mix of domestic and imported crude to optimize production, as they require specific grades of heavy oil that aren't produced in high volumes domestically. We import *60%* of the oil we refine for a reason.

@LenInMaine @TheBTCTherapist Myth, total BS

@TheBTCTherapist Because US refineries can’t refine the oil we pump. We have to sell it in the global market, and then us that money to buy the crude we can refine. It’s a simple as can be, but it’s easier to pretend there isn’t a clear reason.

@TheBTCTherapist $ because they want $

@BarackObama President Obama both sides are doing the same thing. You all are greedy. The whole government is political theater and a sham.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

@yeshvanth_ @ikorok_paul @A_K_Mandhan Not owned by Iran either

@ikorok_paul @A_K_Mandhan Whether China is selfish or not isn’t the point. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t owned by the U.S., so how does it justify controlling or restricting access?

⚠️⚠️#CHINA Warning ! Chinese Defense Minister declares the Strait of Hormuz “open for us” despite the U.S. blockade, warns against interference.

@Mtuswajnr @IRanMediaco So does every other country

BREAKING: The Iranian National Security Council: "Within a few hours, if the firing does not stop in southern Lebanon, the air and missile unit will bomb Tel Aviv.."

@A_K_Mandhan Fake

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 BREAKING🚨 Russia has just announced that all future 0il and gas deals with Europe will be priced in Chinese currency (yuan). This is not just a policy shift — it’s a geopolitical earthquak£. For decades, global energy trade has been dominated by the U.S. dollar. Now, this move signals a major push toward a new financial order led by China and its currency. What does this mean? • A potential weakening of the dollar’s dominance • Stronger economic ties between Russia and China • A strategic shift in global power dynamics The energy market may never look the same again.

@Ethereals68 My reaction would be well the Republicans just screwed everything up the past 4 years. Let’s see how worse it can get.

You wake up on November 8, 2028 and see this, what is your reaction?

@EthanLevins2 Use em and abuse em. Dont want them wasting away. Out with the old in with the new

Why is the U.S. using F15’s? It’s 54 years old, there’s so many more advanced and stealth jets to use. I’m confused why they are using such ancient jets.

@elonmusk $39 trillion in debt now. D.O.G.E did a good job cutting debt huh?

Crazy

@TomthunkitsMind Fake

(1) Iran claims to have shot down another US made F-35 Stealth Bomber Jet. They say this is number 7. Each costs over $100 million. (2) Meet Majid — Iran's short-range infrared air defense system. No radar. No signal. Passive heat-seeking guidance only. On March 19, 2026, Majid scanned the sky silently, locked onto an F-35, and hit it in three seconds, bypassing its threat detection system entirely. The US spent $400 billion developing the F-35 over 30 years, it was engineered to evade radar. Iran put a passive heat sensor on a truck and physics did the rest. War is not going according to plan.

@mark_slapinski Because this is fake ai 😂

@thecyrusjanssen We was the laughing stock way before last year. It’s been a while. Ever since Obama took office till now. Because of radicalization of the left and right.

As a US citizen I can honestly say that I am ashamed of my government and flat out embarrassed to call myself a citizen of the United States right now. The US used to be a country the entire world respected but in just 12 months we have become the laughing stock of the entire world. Donald Trump has done more to discredit and ruin the United States reputation around the globe than anyone in US history. And my biggest fear is that it could take decades to repair and gain trust with our allies and partners. Trump ran on the platform of "No More Wars". All the Republicans gathered around Trump and sold the American public a lie: "If you vote for Kamala, the US will go to war with Iran" Now Trump and his minions in the White House have done a complete 180. They not only want a war with Iran, they want to start more wars and chaos around the globe. Instead of running our country and improving the lives of US citizens, the White House is busy making cartoons and memes to share on X 🤦‍♂️ You literally can't make up how corrupt, immoral, irresponsible, and just plain stupid the people are running this country.

@stucam7771 It was replenished

Fox News is saying that President Biden drained the US oil reserves. OK, IF this is true I have a question. Before starting a reckless war in the Middle East, why didn’t the Trump Administration check and replenish them…

@ug_chelsea Not a nuke

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡U.S. uses what appears to be a tactical Nuclear Weapon in Iran this evening.

@AlnsarAllah10 Fake

الصين تسرب ماتخفية قناة الجزيرة وغيرها من القنوات العربية العبرية نعرضه لكم ما يحدث في القواعد الأمريكية في الأردن والخليج حقاً خطير ومرعب.

@ProudSocialist They won the war

The new videos coming out of Tehran are horrifying. What has our government just done?
