I'm glad, should have happened sooner. Nice to have a President that listens to those around him. Now watch all the righties who demanded we stop importing Russian oil whine about gas prices. Everyone needs to pressure the oil companies to start producing on the 9,000 leases not in use.
President Joe Biden will announce a Russian oil import ban on Tuesday, avoiding a fight with Congress and his own party, which was poised to act if he didn’t.
The announcement will complete a shift for the White House which just days ago expressed fear that an import ban would send gas prices skyrocketing. Officials were hopeful to enact a ban in lockstep with European allies. But they are adjusting to what has become an overwhelming bipartisan interest on Capitol Hill, and within corners of the administration, in ridding U.S. markets of Russian oil as Vladimir Putin continues his assault on Ukraine.
Biden bans Russian oil under pressure from Congress
Inside the White House, there's concern about the economic fallout. But momentum to shut off imports built fast on the Hill and within the administration.www.politico.com
Lol, now that's funny. What will you say after he appears on tv to announce it? Fake news, he lies? You guys are so entertaining with your BDS.You have REALLY bought into the propaganda on this.
Can you be a bit more vague?If only Biden had a backbone. I understand why people voted for him over Trump but if the election was today he's be sweeping streets for a job tomorrow.
Just who would beat him in an election today?If only Biden had a backbone. I understand why people voted for him over Trump but if the election was today he's be sweeping streets for a job tomorrow.
Who you got in 2024? I will take the field against Biden.Just who would beat him in an election today?
You said today, not 2024.Who you got in 2024? I will take the field against Biden.
LOLOLOL.Everyone needs to pressure the oil companies to start producing on the 9,000 leases not in use.
Trump.You said today, not 2024.
Let's agree to disagree. You can't prove anything with a poll. The only thing that counts is election results. If the donkeys do well in November I will say you were correct. If the GOP does well would you give me the same satisfaction?That's what I thought. You might want to check his favorability numbers, not a chance.

The GOP is going to do well, the minority party always does in the mid-terms. That doesn't mean Trump will win in 2024, it's the same error the right keeps making by equating low approval ratings for Biden with more votes for Trump, it just doesn't work that way. Both parties need new blood and new candidates.Let's agree to disagree. You can't prove anything with a poll. The only thing that counts is election results.

Imagine electing a leader who had five draft deferments and then a medical exemption for a medical condition that didn't affect them at any other point in their life...That's what I thought. You might want to check his favorability numbers, not a chance.

They did it once, hopefully they smartened up a little since then after seeing what a petulant and incompetent child he turned out to be. Besides, Biden won't be running so Trump will need to run against his OWN record, not Biden's.Imagine electing a leader who had five draft deferments and then a medical exemption for a medical condition that didn't affect them at any other point in their life...

Need some tissues?What will I say?
Pretty much this:
The Russians have been "massing forces" to invade Ukraine on the Ukraine border since last Summer.
The Russians in general and Putin in particular seem to have noted the feckless cowardice of Biden in the abandonment of American allies in Afghanistan.
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD WHO WAS WATCHING THIS knows that Putin was starting to back away from the Ukraine border until Biden led the clown show showing his weakness in Afghanistan.
Through August, September, October, November, December, January and February, BIDEN DID NOTHING about the Russian build up on the Ukraine border! WHY NOT??!!?!
After two weeks of War Criminal attacks on Ukrainian civilians by the Russian invaders, Biden FINALLY took action to head off a Congressional vote to block the impart of Russian oil so he could steal the credit.
Biden does only what he is told to do by those who tell him what to do and only for political advantage as he is told he will get it. He's a moron.
A REAL LEADER would have stopped Russia BEFORE any invasion took place using stern, clear unmistakable messaging.
If that failed, he would have raised the alarm at what was happening, formed an international coalition of the willing and sanctioned the living Hell of Russia by December or before.
Biden, frozen by fear and stupidity did nothing until he was forced to to do it BY OUR OWN CONGRESS.
Biden has no integrity, no courage, no morality, no honesty and no standard of right and wrong. He is an embarrassment to every American and to the entire United States.
Why aren't you willing to pay more for gas to protect our national interests? I suppose you believe gas rationing during WW2 was a political issue as well?When Nancy announced that she favored a ban on Russian oil, that no doubt was a big factor in convincing him.
At the State of the Union speech, she was constantly giving us her phony smile, so the President wants to show her how much he appreciates her support.
By November, the gas prices should be back to "normal," so probably voters will have forgotten the expected higher prices that may result from such a ban.
What will I say?

Standard vague right wing nonsense. "Backbone?" Tell us what you want Biden to have done differently. Tell the whole world the magic bullet policy that would solve all of this that somehow you alone see.If only Biden had a backbone. I understand why people voted for him over Trump but if the election was today he's be sweeping streets for a job tomorrow.
The Post reports, "At the White House, President Biden said he was banning all imports of oil and natural gas from Russia, effective immediately. The United Kingdom also announced a plan to phase out all Russian oil products by the end of the year."President Joe Biden will announce a Russian oil import ban on Tuesday, avoiding a fight with Congress and his own party, which was poised to act if he didn’t.
