YOUR graphic is in the public domain which means it's fair game for me or anyone else to appropriate and ridicule for the moronic claim it makes. Thanks for another display of your ignorance.

You're not the only one who has worked hard for freedom and no one is coming for your guns. You dumb bastards cry about that every time a Dem is in the WH.

F your freedom denying desire to tell other people what they can drive.

Russian oil flowed here under Trump, and if it is banned from the U.S what's the next whiny ass complaint about our response to Russia that you're going to post?

As for getting inside my head? Don't make me f'ing laugh. Meanwhile I get to reside rent free inside your studio sized head.

And the ball? Yeah, I just kicked it directly into your tiny nut sack.

Read an weep you ill-informed hysteric.

The push to ban Russian oil is gaining steam. Here's what that means for US energy prices

New York (CNN Business) — There's growing momentum in Congress to ban US imports of Russian oil.

"I'm all for that. Ban it," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this week.

A bipartisan bill, unveiled this week by Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, would do just that.

Note that this is very different from the more sweeping step of imposing sanctions on Russian oil, a move that would prevent virtually all nations from using Russian oil.

Strictly banning US imports of Russian oil would most likely not have a dramatic impact on prices at US gas pumps, which surged this week to the highest level in nearly a decade.

That's for a simple reason: Unlike Europe and Asia, the United States doesn't really use much Russian oil.

Russia delivered just 90,000 barrels per day of crude oil into the United States in December, according to the most recent US government statistics.

That pales in comparison with oil that the US gets per day from Iraq (223,000), Saudi Arabia (472,000) and Mexico (492,000), let alone the 4.1 million imported from Canada each day.

"It's not mission critical. Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia — those are the big boys," said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service. "Russia is a bit player."

Some US refineries use unfinished Russian oil, blending it with other barrels to churn out gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and other products. But even by that broader measure, Russia is far from a huge player in the United States.

Russia exported just 405,000 barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products into the United States in December. That represents less than 5% of total US crude oil and product imports
