    Just wondering what sort of mental gymnastics the maga lurkers here are comforting themselves with when they see this.

      “Sleepy Joe Biden is lowering gas prices in a partisan attempt to win reelection. The second the election is over, he’ll raise gas prices to $5 a gallon and require all new cars to be electric! I know this is true because I saw a post on Facebook about it!!!”

      Gas was expensive because the big bad democrats (very weak, sad!) put all their green new deals on it. Something about a hunting laptop too, whatever that is. This is also the market reacting early to that one former president’s expected return to office. If he doesn’t end up getting back in, then it was a delayed response to all of his efforts in office before.

      Can’t let small matters like truth and reality get in the way of an agenda.

        Bannon rubbing his disheveled chin between sips of gin, “Hmmm… Okay, okay… This could work!”

        I’d grant he has maybe 10% influence at best considering foreign policy deals, global (in)stability, and control of the SPR but I’m generally in agreement.

        I just like to use what Republicans always (wrongfully) cry about against them.
