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."
