The US is now at war with Iran

[KingVamp]

Not with Oompa J Loompa and his merry band of "yes" men at the helm.

Looks like they might not have a choice, with how high gas is getting.

Yep, diesel is maxed out at several gas stations along the coasts, $9.999 per gallon, which is the highest price that the digital signs are designed to display.

Where is the crowd of "life is unaffordable under Biden"

It is funny, I have a few buddies that are, were, big Trump fans. Talked him up tons before the election. Now when I ask them how they feel about him, they don't want to talk about it, or say "they are all crooks, all politicians" as to divert from the question.

Still about 60 cents cheaper than what I've been paying in UK the last 6 months. I've gotten so sick of it I'm switching to EV next week.

This guy puts the current Iran situation into perspective:

The gas prices will only get worse, and will never be 'reasonable' again. Thanks MAGA voters!

That's such a weak cop-out. One side has a huge track record of ruining the economy and getting into wars, the other wants to give universal health care. They are not equal.

I can't wait for $7/gal diesel. $6/gal is small peanuts, after all our kid fucker president has said it's short term pain for long term gain, whatever the fuck that means. I'm surprised republicans aren't shouting from the rooftops how much they love the consequences of their own actions

This may sound crazy, I'm going to hazard while they acknowledge things are shit, they are unwilling to take accountability.

Look on the bright side chaps, at least Trump didn't go to Epstein's Island. Oh wait, he did!

It's OK as long as there is enough who take the bait of $5000?

$5000 enough to dance on the street.

PS: I wonder why not promise $50,000. Surely that would work even better?

I don't think people realize that if 300 million people were to take it, then that's 1.5 trillion dollars. Whose to say he also isn't specifically talking about bribing the electoral college, in which case it would be much less costly.

Since when can you trust his words? If he could give you 5,000, he would have already given it to you before the vote. After the vote, you're no longer needed. The day after the vote, who are you to him? There will never be any 5,000 for you—or for anyone else.

It's the oldest trick in the world; even cavemen knew how to use it. When he needs you, he'll promise you something else, and you'll fall for it again and again. It's a battle-tested art of the deal.

PS: It will be 50,000 when he is running for his third term. If he won he will take 5000 from everyone, a few will get 50,000.

I'm just trying to point out the absurdity of promising 5,000 to each voter. I very much agree that what he says cannot be trusted.
