Orange man GREAT!!! His Iran fu*kup will only cost us about a trillion inb the long run.
That is the best trillion dollars we've ever wasted. Bigly!
Maybe next year, he can waste TWO trillion dollars.
WINNING!

Yeah no shit, Trumps cutting into money that could went to Democrat hosted fraud like the "Learing Center"
Giving Somali's millions is a way better way to spend money!

HOW RUDE!!

Thank you oh gracious Dear Leader, for gas being 26% more expensive than it was at the beginning of the year.
We are truly blessed to have you lie to us and promise $2.00 gas, but deliver us $4.00 gas. It's an honor and a privilege that you even address all us peasants, when your could be using that valuable time to tweet about Bruce Springsteen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Cue the idiots who have no clue about how averages work, and will try to defend the diapered one based on their lack of knowledge.

Still worried about fraud in MN, when your state has so much more.
Not any different from you worrying about how other people in the country raise their kids, while you don't even know where yours go to school.
Good job.

Speaking of, when are you going to share your guidelines on the proper way everyone should be raising their kids?
You seem to have all the answers. Why not share them?

Which has exactly WHAT to do with the Orange Idiot's promise, failure to deliver on that promise, and take actions that made his failure even WORSE?

Lemme guess: It's Biden's fault Dozing Donnie joined the OPEC deal, Biden's fault Demented Donnie made the promise of 50% lower energy costs, Biden's fault Diapered Donnie tore up the previous agreement with Iran so he could go to war and achieve nothing?

 

[deez283 10+ year member]

Cue the moron who only holds Republican presidents to uphold every promise, but ignore all the lies their master tells.
That's a good puppet.

What was made up, exactly?
You didn't even know what schools in your district would serve your family.
You made it very clear that parents around the world were not raising their children properly.

So, tell us the Golden Rules of deeznutz for raising children properly.

Does the United States President set gas prices?

No — gas prices are set by global markets, not by presidential decree. Here's the breakdown of what actually drives the price at the pump:


Crude oil prices are the biggest factor, typically making up roughly half of what you pay. Oil is a globally traded commodity, and its price is driven by OPEC+ production decisions, global supply and demand, geopolitical events (wars, sanctions, shipping disruptions), and speculation in futures markets. The US president has no direct control over any of this — the country imports and exports oil, and US producers respond to global prices, not to White House preferences.


Refining costs and margins, distribution and marketing, and state and federal taxes make up the rest. Of these, taxes are the one lever government actually controls directly, but federal gas tax changes require Congress, and state taxes are set by state governments — not the president.


What a president can influence, at the margins, includes things like releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, adjusting drilling permits and leases on federal land, sanctions or diplomacy affecting oil-producing nations, and regulatory policy (emissions rules, fuel standards). But these are indirect levers with limited and often delayed effects — they don't let a president set a price, and energy analysts are pretty consistent on this point. As one petroleum analyst quoted in earlier coverage put it, there's effectively zero chance any president can simply mandate gas down to a specific price like $2 a gallon.


This is why economists and energy analysts across the political spectrum have been skeptical of campaign promises (from any candidate) to bring gas to a specific dollar figure — it's largely outside presidential control, which is also why Trump's claims that prices already hit those targets have been repeatedly fact-checked as false rather than just "not yet achieved."

Are you a child or an adult? Most grown people know that just because someone says they will do something doesn't guarantee it will happen. If you are a sucker who votes based on campaign promises then that is on you kid. Know what the president can and can't do and vote based on what they can do. It's called being an educated and informed voter. Which you apparently are not.

Rawb-the-liar..

You expect me to take any of this serious? Really? This is normal to you?

You're brain really tells you this stuff is true? You make up stuff in your mind and expect us to say it is real?

How can I argue about something that is not real?

Have you been up for days tweeking? Your alternate world thoughts are very disturbing.
I don't know if you actually have a genuine mental health issue or if your some tweeker dude that
is so tweeked out that reality has taken a back seat.

Simply more of your tapdancing around having to support your own bullsh!t.
Typical all-talk/no-walk mouthbreather.

Do you spend your day celebrating falling for the Orange Idiot's lies?
Does it make you feel special that he lied to YOU? (hint: he lied to everyone. Only people like you were dumb enough to believe it)

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Burgers taste 25% better.
it's the sweet taste of FREEDOM.
MAGA winning!!

 

[Old_Slapper]

Tell us you can't comprehend a basic graph, without telling us, Slapperhead.
Explain what made you think prices kept going up after May 2022, following the end of the OPEC+ deal that the Orange Idiot got us into. I added some trend lines in red to help you zero in on your reasoning. They line up with Trump becoming POTUS, with Trump signing the OPEC deal, with the OPEC deal ending. with Trump attacking Iran.
Tell us what those lines mean.

Thank you for showing us all just how stupid you are. Now, let me spell it out for you before you continue to show your ignorance. 2016 to 2020 was the lowest. 2020, it goes up and spikes in 2022. THEN, it drops, but nothing near where Trump had it before Biden jumps in. THEN, as soon as Trump get back into office, prices start to drop below Biden ever had it. Remember, the deal was over for 2 years before Trump got back in.

Now, pay close as I ask this question again. WHY DID OIL PRICES SPIKE IN 2022? Google it, if you need to. We'll all sit and wait for your response, or is this another question you refuse to answer like why the Santa Ynez Reservoir was built because it will prove you're an idiot?

Listen REALLY carefully: NO, ANOTHER PRESIDENT COULD NOT HAVE CANCELED THE UNILATERAL DEAL THAT WAS MADE WITH OPEC. NO US PRESIDENT HAS THAT AUTHORITY.

Let me help you. Google "Can a President sign and executive order to end a unilateral deal with another country?" Then tell us all what it says. Biden signed almost 100 executive orders when he got into office. Some of them were to override deals that Trump made with other countries.

Here's just a few:

• Paris Climate Agreement
• The US exit from WHO
• US/Mexico border deal

No US POTUS can sign an EO that tells another country how to control their oil production. Your Orange Idiot is not World Emperor. He is the POTUS. Are you new?

Nobody ever said he was trying to control other countries. You're just trying to start another argument to deflect from me showing everyone that you're and idiot.

Those are all your personal claims, are not supported by any statistical analysis, and have nothing to do with efficacy of COVID vaccines, social distancing, wearing masks, or any of the other things you snowflake ******* cried so loudly about, while actual decent citizens tried to stay alive and keep others alive. Little babies couldn't bear the thought of not going to the bar every night to **** on your baby bottle of Bud Light while you watched guys in tights chase each other around and wrestle on the grass.

Show me your statistical analysis that refutes the following. Make sure the analysis is as detailed and includes as many data sets and data points.
And if you're going to say "That analysis is fake, just to make us believe a lie", then just f*ck right off. Everyone is sick of all the "fake news" claims you f*cking morons use to support your bullshi*t narratives:

Effectiveness of social distancing measures and lockdowns for reducing transmission of COVID-19 in non-healthcare, community-based settings - PMC

Social distancing measures (SDMs) are community-level interventions that aim to reduce person-to-person contacts in the community. SDMs were a major part of the responses first to contain, then to mitigate, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the community. ...

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

See, this is your way of denying the facts. You call us snowflakes, but you dems are the ones who were falling apart whenever you saw someone not wearing a mask, even after your savior told you that COVID stops with the vaccine. But even after taken the vaccine, they continued the shutdown. You obeyed like the good little boy you are.

Anyhow, the pure fact that that you came back attacking me, like you did, shows that you already looked up the stats and found I was correct. It's not hard to Google what states had the most deaths and which states didn't, which I know you already did.

See, we all know that when you find supporting facts, for our arguments, you're quick to share them. When you can't find anything to help you, you demand us to show facts then continue to insult us. Then we show the facts and you ignore them then try to flip the argument. A perfect example is, why won't you list 3 reasons why the Santa Ynez reservoir was built?
