    Maybe this is a good time to kick this guy out of the White House? They’re going to cheat the mid terms. The time for sitting on your ass doomscrolling Instagram and TikTok is over, get off your fucking ass and do something about this shithead

      He’s so out of touch and his cultists can’t see it. I would love to see him go to a grocery store, buy the ingredients for something extremely basic like a BLT and pay for it. If he can’t get it done unassisted in under 30 minutes, he leaves office.

    The day before the Saturday the war started, Oman mediators said “great progress and concessions from Iran were made to be finalized in next meeting on Monday”. It’s over $100B in extra fuel costs for Americans, They are hiding the military restoration costs until after the mid terms, and no one is questioning Pentagon’s report that GCC bases won’t be rebuilt, and unlikely for those client states to keep investing in America.

    Just a reminder that the extra money you pay for expensive petroleum products actually goes to the petroleum industries, not to some special “war effort” fund. You’re not making a sacrifice for the benefit of the common good (supposing you view an unprovoked attack on a smaller nation as a ‘common good’), you’re making a sacrifice for Big Oil shareholders.

    Haha, suckers. I walk to work and only drive my car one day per week and only around ten miles round trip. Glad you got to own the libs for the fascist asshole who doesn’t give one shit about you. It’s pretty cool how you won’t be able to afford your bills and gas and rent but at least your idiot strongman pissed off the people you don’t like.

    “But that’s going to come tumbling down,” he added, referring to gas prices. “That’s going to be like rocket ships in reverse.”

    “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.”

    He decides and we pay? We’re not supposed to have a King, we’re supposed to have a legislature of representatives and senators, one of whose jobs is deciding whether to go to war. I have no idea what the democrats are going to do when they get back in office, but Trump has shown us that the checks and balances are little more than a voluntary agreement able to be ignored by the president as desired. The US Executive Branch needs a constitutional neutering.

      It’s not that the checks and balances have no power, it’s that Republicans control all branches of government and refuse to stop him. They only work if they are used

        I understand you think that’s a distinction, I consider it one without much difference. If Repubs refuse to check him, then there are no checks on his power.

          That’s not how a system works. If I get on the freeway and rear end another car it’s not because my car doesn’t have brakes. My car does, but I just didn’t use them.

          It’s very important to understand that congress could stop this at any moment. They have the power to do so. The check is still there. However the majority supports all of this.

            If the check is not used, it doesn’t matter whether it’s there or not. The republicans inaction can be simply explained via oligarchy or plutocracy and the wealth divide.

              Isn’t the simplest explanation that these representatives agree with the actions? No need to overly complicate it.

    Then you pay it, fuckface. Subsidize all gas from your personal billions, you corrupt, greedy, narcissistic, pedophile. That’s all you’d have to do to get approval ratings above 40% again, but you won’t, because your greed outweighs your pride. You actively hurt people because your wrath outweighs your sloth. Don’t think for a second that we haven’t noticed your gluttony, your lust, and your envy. There has never been a greater candidate for the antichrist. I hope there is a hell just for this rotten pile of hate to burn in torment there for eternity. The world truly would have been a better place if Donald John Trump had never been born. The damage is done, so there’s no point in advocating for violence against him now, but it’s notable because there are so few people in history that that can be said about. Humans in totality are worse off for the birth and life lead by a select few real monsters. He is one of them.

    I wish fear and sorrow and anguish upon him for every breath he takes so that he may feel some fraction of the pain he has inflicted upon everybody who was forced to share the planet with him. Not for vengeance, but for some semblance of justice that I don’t believe he will ever face. God have as much mercy on his soul as he has had for anybody other than himself.

      No, he fucked people getting involved with that, too.

      The “freedom fuel” company he kept pushing sold over $4m wholesale cost in fuel, then paid for about 750k of it. My numbers may be slightly off. It was a significant loss for more than a couple businesses.

      If you do business with him, you should not be surprised when you are left holding the bill.

    Pay for our fuel from your personal fortune then. Much has been stolen from taxpayers and we want it back. For starters free gas for everyone for putting up with your bullshit for almost 6 years now.
