Yep. After all, their chosen savior promised them all KINDS of good stuff.

Sad and stupid (the people depicted, not the cartoon itself), but true!

As painful as gas prices are getting to, it is more important to do the right thing…..backing Zelensky and Ukraine. The pain at the pump will recede eventually but if Pootin is allowed to go unchecked; the entire world will pay a much greater price!!!

Never mind that all this mess technically started when the very first American dictator wannabe, the fuhrer wannabe, herr trump tried to appease russia.

They actually picked up the masked hitchhiker with the ax?

People are irrationally stupid

Well now all those people filling up bags with gas last year are looking pretty smart now.

We were met oil exporting under Trump with fairly low gas prices. Now, under Biden, we are net oil importing with high has prices. Even before the Ukraine crisis. Wonder how that happened.

The Turd Reich trolls are already trying to deflect from the price gouging and profiteering corporations that back aGolf Twitler and his cronies make (and get their tax dollars as well as sane people’s in federal subsidies every single year even after those massive net profits).

They’re getting mugged like everybody else but they’re so damned stupid that they’re even defending the muggers. Jumpin’ Jesus on a Pogo Stick!

Remember in early 1974 (“Back when gas station attendants filled our tanks and cleaned our windshields, grandson …”) and gas prices doubled practically overnight — from 31.9 to 60.9 a gallon? People were outraged! Invade Arabia!

Now, those are the good ol’ days. Eventually, $4.00 a gallon for gasoline will be a nostalgic memory. Let’s hope EV tech will take over, and the question will instead be, “Great-Grandpa, what was ‘gasoline’ and what were ‘gas stations’?”

Gas currently costs € 1,439 per litre in Germany. That’s $1.57, or about $6.32 per gallon. Quitcherbichen.

I’ve experienced such an encounter last week. No one seems to blame the oil companies and their gouging as happened in the 1970’s.

Why I love my hybrid.

NO ONE ever claimed that Reich-Wingnut Conservatives were either logical, or smart!

When do I get my flying car?

Thank dog we have an electric and a plug-in hybrid

Russian oil accounts for less than 3% of U.S. needs. Any Keystone pipeline crude is intended for export, not U.S. consumption. There is nothing preventing U.S. oil companies from increasing domestic production except for their greed. But, hey, let’s spin this into a diatribe against President Biden.

This time, it’s a war in the Ukraine driving up gasoline prices. I remember similar spikes “caused by” a refinery fire somewhere, a ship running aground, oil “embargoes,” a pipeline rupture, or just sheer speculation by someone. But that’s just Big Oil’s go-to response; When In Doubt, Gouge The Consumer.

one year later $3.40 thanks to Biden’s policies of hostility to US drillers, refiners, and distributors? No, I don’t think so.

The news just dropped that the US is going to ban Russian oil imports. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/us-ban-russian-oil-imports-rcna19119

Biden doesn’t have anything to do how prices fluctuate with the stock market and oil prices….

As we look about for someone to blame, we may need to look no further than ourselves. Maybe Pogo was right when he said, “we met the enemy, and it was us.” Lewinsky could have sought more stridently to come to some kind of understanding with Putin. Ukraine was in an unenviable position of wanting to be with the west and the EU, but having to share a border and history with Russia. Could the Ukraine have taken on a more neutral stance, not striving for western advancement, and maintained a continued connection with nearby Russia? Who can say? Indeed, the pro-Russian leader before Lewinsky could have been more dedicated toward his own people and not lined his own pockets, as his friend V. Putin had done.

And what about NATO itself? Could they not have changed with the fall of the USSR? Could they have not changed to meet the changes of Russia in the Euro/Asian continent? Yes, there’s a lot of blame to go around. Is it still too late, or is the insanity of Putin too much of a problem to make any changes on our side productive?

The brain dead Turd Reich trolls refuse facts and hold onto lies, cherrypicked information, and propaganda their handlers keep feeding them. Like turds in the bowl of Cheerios they gobble that BS down with a spoon in both hands, and then slurp up the bits with a straw.

Fact – Oil companies are making record net profits and still getting federal subsidies. They are price gouging.

Fact – POTUS does not set gas prices.

Fact – POTUS is demanding a stop to Russian oil imports in the USA.

Fact – We have no control of foreign oil companies buying/selling oil from/to Russia.

The Turd Reich trolls only want to spread lies, disinformation, and misinformation. Their handlers keep using them to lie. Their media’s handlers do the same. If that were not true then they would post sources that are current, fact checked, and bias checked. But they won’t do that.

Doubt the facts? Check them with a simple Google search – use UPI and even simply Wikipedia for starters. But the trolls won’t even do that. All they will use is lies and propaganda.

Brilliant and you have the gist of it Mr. Jones.

Squiggles posts a source! Oh wait… It’s only Twitter. How freakin’ stupid and lame is that? Well, it can’t handle simple math, statistics, or even decimals so that’s the reach of its leaky brain pan.

Hey Turd Reich trolls, lookee here….

Oh no… Anyway….

Wouldn’t want to blame the oil companies doing the actual price gouging … grrrr

It was interesting. A few days ago Biden says were going to cut off imports of Russian oil. Gas and oil futures take off upward. Than G.B.‘s Johnson says they are going to cut off buying Russian oil, but they were going to do it slowly may take the rest of the year. Oil futures didn’t react as much. Soon Biden come back to say they are not doing the cutoff all at once, but the futures don’t fall back very much.
