President Joe Biden is taking fresh steps to help keep gas prices from climbing. For Republicans to see this as “disgusting” and “disgraceful” is bizarre.

      Don’t forget about the recent pricing collusion reporting.

      The higher prices were the result of collusion with OPEC by American oil producers.

      Wouldn’t surprise me at all if those decals were intentionally created by conservative groups in the know.

      We should resurrect those…to trigger all the magasnowflakes.

      I saw one of those on a pump after prices went down (as they tend to do), and actually did lol. One of the redhatters had not gotten to it yet. I suspect at least a few of them realized the irony.

    It’s like when they refused to pass their own immigration bill because they’d rather campaign on the issue than fix the problem.

    The same reason Republicans voted against their own immigration bill: Trump told them not to because he doesn’t want to give that win to Biden. No wins for Biden, especially in an election year. Republicans continue holding us hostage so they can to put their fuhr back in office.

    Is there even a hair of validity to the argument that Biden’s “environmental polices” are leading to increased gasoline prices? The US is literally producing more gasoline than it uses, and oil imports are taxed federally at about 2¢.

    Seems like most of the squeeze is from petro states, oil cartels, and corporations that want to price gouge.

    Am i the only one who is outraged that the gas cap in this photo is not placed on its dedicated holder?

      I cannot count how many times I’ve put that on, and someone I’m with comments that they never knew it could do that. :)

    I remember when Republicans had no problem sending out tax rebate checks we couldn’t afford with GWB’s signature on them, so this is a bit less disgraceful by comparison.

    Well yeah, that’s usually their move in an election year. They’re mad because they’re not the ones doing it.

    its that awful trend of modern journalism where they just quote literally one word.
