Your memory is about as long as your micro penis.

Democrats said a lot "about high gas prices and inflation".

Just nothing you wanted to hear.

So you voted for the Great American FAFO.

How's that working out for you and America?

How can gas prices in March "loom" over elections in November, 10 months away, with a lawless administration trying everything in it's power to keep them from happening?

Causation:

BIDEN: The pandemic and invasion of Ukraine
TRUMP: Self-inflicted inflation and higher gas prices

I wasn't particularly thrilled about Kamala Harris' position on Iran.

And with Trump lying (again) through his teeth he wouldn't start a war with Iran but Kama would, it probably cost her quite a bit.

I think dems have learned. America is pissed.

*** United Airlines Slashing Service Because of Sky-Rocketing Fuel Costs ***

"United Airlines plans to cut less popular flights, including mid-week and overnights, until the fall, in response to surging fuel prices triggered by Benjamin Netanyahu and Dummkopf Trumpf's reckless and illegal attack on the people of Iran."

The quality-of-life for everyday hard-working American taxpayers has certainly improved since Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, haven't they?

'I did that.' Gas pump stickers show political volleying of gas prices
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/21/donald-trump-joe-biden-i-did-that-gas-
prices/89191685007/

... Back under the Biden administration, stickers popped up on gas pumps with a picture of Biden and the caption, "I did that."

Now it's Trump's turn. Etsy sellers, TikTok Shop and Amazon are all selling Trump "I did that" stickers. Social media users have posted pictures of the stickers on pumps around the country. One commenter shared a picture of a sticker on a gas pump in swing state Arizona, where gas prices are among the most expensive in the country at $4.459 on average as of March 20, according to AAA. ...

"We have a little high oil prices for a little while, but as soon as this ends, those prices are going to drop I believe lower than ever before," Trump said in the Oval Office on March 3. He also told Reuters in an exclusive March 5 interview on gas price increases that he doesn't "have any concern about it," saying the military operation "is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit."

Since Schumer is backing the dinosaur in Maine over Platner, I'd measure that enthusiasm.

#16 | Posted by morris at 2026-03-22 06:29 PM

Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Janet Mills, Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Bill Paxton, Andrew Cuomo, Randy "the Hebrew Ham Sandwich" and the rest of the bi-partisan Israel First ilk have gotta get kicked out at every level PDQ.

Americans are tired of Islamophobia, the Forever Wars, Benjamin Netanyahu, ICE, higher gas prices, and no money for universal healthcare but money to bomb Muslims in the Middle East.

Why do you think Zohran Mamdani (D) won in NYC, James Talarico (D) is ahead in the Texas polls, and Graham Platner leads Janet "AIPAC" Mills in Maine?

Russia is laughing all the way to the bank and probably wants the war to continue indefinitely.

Brent crude is topping $112 in futures trading.

The market is pricing in a quick end to this war. The problem, as we know by now, is The WH don't have an exit strategy. And Trump can't bluff his way out of it this time. Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to this war.

For Iran, this is an existential fight for their survival. They can keep the strait closed with just threats to attack ships and by lobbing occasional missles and drones at other ME countries.

To quote Winston Churchill, "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".

Remember when republicans pretended Biden caused high gas prices and couldn't stop complaining.

Then Trump started a war with Iran that skyrocketed gas prices and republicans have all but gone mute.

This is called being a hypocrite.

Something republicans excel in.

In some parts of the US, diesel prices have hit $5.00 per gallon, pissing off truckers.

So much winning!

Trump was right! I'm tired of all the "winning." (not winning)

"Winning."
