Energy Secretary Granholm laughs off notion of boosting US oil production: 'That is hilarious'

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm

...Former Dem governess of Michigan, Energy Secretary under the Biden administration. She'll likely consider that enough to qualify her for a presidential bid come next election...
laughed off the notion of encouraging more domestic oil production to blunt high gasoline prices and said matters are exclusively in OPEC's hands.

"That is hilarious," Granholm responded while laughing to Bloomberg Surveillance host Tom Keene's question about the "Granholm plan" to increase oil production in America.

"Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said. "As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC."

Granholm brought up OPEC's and its allies' recent decision not to stray from its plan to increase production by 400,000 barrels per day next month despite the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
urging the cartel to produce more than that to reduce prices.

Republicans have been especially critical of the administration for leaning on OPEC to boost global oil supply while seeking to undo Trump administration policies favoring production and pursuing policies to limit fossil fuel production and use, such as through President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
's early orders revoking the Keystone XL pipeline and pausing new oil and gas leases on federal lands.

"We will not ask OPEC to solve our problems," House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
said in an energy roundtable with fellow GOP politicians last week. "We can solve them here in America."

#1 The Face of a Buffoons' Party Leadership in a strategic office of the U.S. Government; her laughter only solidifies the case against her continued place in the U.S. Administration and her position as Energy Secretary.

To date Two Cackling Buffoons' Identified -

Jennifer Granholm

Kamala Harris

Just short of 10 months of the Biden Administration. This is what we get.

#2 The joke that keeps on giving. So much SNL material that you don't have to make it up.

#3 She's a rich liberal white woman from suburbia. So the stereotypical karen from karenocracy central.

She hates regular people as she swigs the wine box. Prime Democrat.

#4 Beginning her response with moronic Kamala-cackling, she points to OPEC as owning the solution. A Berkeley and Harvard product, CNN contributor, and Obama appointee. Eminently qualified to stump for the Green New Deal.

#5 Marxism: first time (1917-1991) as tragedy, the second time (2021-- ) as farce.

As a measure of this nation's decline -- and impending fall -- note how every one of these retarded buffoons is either a product of, or tightly intertwined with, America's elite academic institutions.

The ferret who has presided over the trashing of rule of law in this country -- who has created a de facto gulag for scores of political prisoners in DC, who has unleashed the FBI on moms and dads, formally designating them "domestic terrorists" -- this cringeing shithead who is destroying our justice system is a graduate of our most distinguished law school.

The Treasury Secretary who denies the reality of high inflation, supports a $4 trillion spending carnival and its orgy of graft, the depraved witch who wants the IRS to scrutinize every single bank deposit or transfer of $600 or more -- this moron and lifelong hack has a PhD from the nation's other Olympian institution.

The buffoonish current Secretary of State who presided over our country's most appalling foreign-policy debacle in at least 60 years, the guitar-playing idiot who is more concerned with hanging rainbow flags at our embassies than with any threat to our nation's security, is a Harvard grad. His top deputy has an advanced degree from Yale.

The head of Homeland Security has done more in his ten short months to create insecurity in the homeland than any foreign or domestic enemy by presiding over the complete collapse of our southern border. This incompetent is a partner at one of the nation's top BigLaw firms and is a graduate of our top "public ivy" institution.

The Transportation Secretary has presided over the collapse of American shipping and logistics and lacks even the faintest notion of how to resurrect them. He's another Harvard grad and a Rhodes scholar.

The current Energy Secretary thinks US oil and gas production has no connection to the price of West Texas crude. She's another Harvard Law and UC Berkeley grad.

And fully one-third of the aides to Pres. Pervert Magoo and his rancid skank of a VP are from either Harvard or Yale. The most incompetent administration in the modern era is stocked with graduates of our most prestigious schools.

These moronic clowns are universally scorned by the leaders of the nation's and the industries they're supposed to influence. They are making our nation the world's laughingstock. We have never seen such incompetence and destruction across every dimension of governance -- security, foreign policy, defense, law enforcement, the economy, energy production, the border and immigration, even our ports and supply chain.

Literally EVERYTHING these assholes touch has gone to hell.

What on earth have we done to deserve this scourge?

#7 "Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said.

Ask Trump for his wand - he had this problem solved before all of you fucked it up on purpose.

#8 Shove your hitachi magic wand up your arse, you moron. The solution to high prices is called increasing domestic supply, and it was easily achieved through the normal operations of the oil marketplace that gives huge incentives to clever E&P company leaders to apply fracking and other cutting-edge extraction technologies to get at tight oil lodged in shake.

If this b!tch had even an ounce of intellectual horsepower she'd have known the above. A Texas twelve year-old knows more about oil & gas than this dimpled ditz.

#9 Well, given the supply chain issues and a very justifiable fear of rushing headlong into another bust cycle, the O&G industry is expanding it's production quite slowly. I think people in it are realizing that slow and steady keeps us all employed and we like having jobs. So we'll wait out sleepy joe and his blow up doll, and see what the future brings.

#12 The complete confusion and disorder in your country is engineered by your CIA, enforced by your FBI, regulated by your DOJ
The racketeering and theft must continue, you cannot stop them.
Shock and awe it’s applied to your society, in order to destroy your will to fight or investigate THEM
