  • In a time of war with Iran, Americans unite in aggravation over sticker shock at the gas pump

    Jump

  • Yep. The minute I hear some redcap grumble about gas prices, I'll ask why they voted for it, then.

  • Yet the average person is so brainwashed by corporate media that almost everybody thinks that conservatives are good for the economy.

    That's the one that blows my mind. I'll be talking to reactionary centrists (that are probably voting Republican at least sometimes) and they will often concede a lot, but then say something like, "yeah, but at least Republicans know how to run an economy"?

    It's like...in what fucking universe? They like to point to Covid as somehow bringing it all down for poor PEDOnald, but cannot really show how he was remarkably better than the economy under Obama prior to Covid? Also, they cannot really point to what policy of Biden's was so bad for the economy?

  • Hey, if you voted for PEDOnald, I don't want to hear any complaining.

  • Trump administration starts to panic over rapidly rising oil costs

  • Christ, I hope we see a lot more, given it'd actually be accurate in this case.

  • LOL, I know, right? I find it hilarious that the RWAs think that CNN is "liberal", LOL. Someone typed that up and expected people to take that sentence at face value.

  • Just what did these nine dimensional chess players think was going to happen by doing Israel's bidding and attacking Iran?

  • Team Trump struggles to spin the worst job numbers since the Great Recession

    Jump

  • They never do. If it requires someone to create a fake movement and a fake party for them like the teabaggers, they will surely do it.

    Just watch: many of them will pretend they never even heard of this Donald guy for a while, then go right back to voting R to put everything in reverse again at the very next election. Just like they did with W and the "tea party" thing. Weird how all those people that were for the "tea party" were and are Republicans....

  • Yeah, good luck polishing that turd, asshole. You were handed an economy that was the envy of the world, brazenly lied about it, and then proceeded to fuck it all up, just as Republicans almost always do.

  • Millions of student-loan borrowers are kicked off of Biden's key affordable repayment plan in a surprise court reversal

    Almost. Every. Fucking. Time.

  • PEDOnald wants you to be unable to vote and unable to get out of debt. What a peach of a "president".

  • Short of Ending Iran Conflict, Trump Has Limited Tools to Lower Oil Prices

  • except for his idiot supporters who will eat it up.

    Unfortunately, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the country.

  • Ahead of midterms, Republicans confront cooling support from young men over Trump policies

    Jump

  • JFC, even if they don't have any offspring of their own, that's a shocking amount of idiocy. But I often find conservatives don't really tend to look at the longer view

    I remember telling them about how some of the effects of OUR trading policies (this was about NAFTA) are what result in people trying to come here. They just wanted to blame Mexico or whatever. Anyway, their solution, even if convinced that there are larger forces at work other than just brown people looking to "invade" the United States? "We'll just have to up border enforcement". This was their kind of thinking before dimbulb donnie came along...no wonder "building a wall" was so appealing to these jagoffs.

  • Maybe they should turn off the brosphere influencer nonsense? Just a thought.

  • Short of Ending Iran Conflict, Trump Has Limited Tools to Lower Oil Prices

  • I doubt he really gives a shit if gas is costing consumers $10 a gallon. He's more focused on stealing the election so he doesn't have to deal with the wrath of voters. He's way more focused on that as compared to making anything affordable for anyone.

  • LOL, so true. I often laugh about the "tea party" and how it's not really a thing, and then I'm immediately reminded of how the "Green Party" is not much more of a serious thing, either. Other than being seriously used to monkey-wrench this country and give more power to Republicans...
