Bidenomics: When your operating costs are increasing, shut down a revenue source. Makes perfect sense?

Gimmick and chief.

Can we get a 3 month pause on Joe?

Big Deal! The Dope needs to get the pipelines running & start drilling drilling & drilling. A lousy .18cents is Nothing.

Just in time for the midterms.

Any update on Hunter’s laptop asking for a friend 🤣🇺🇸

Yawn

BS move. Gas at 6-8 bucks dropping 18 cents is poli theater. Opec will charge us more bec we're begging. The world loves a weak America.

18 cents after purposely fucking us. Lol. LGB.

Whatever. That isn’t going to do anything

This is a gimmick and Washington con game.

Why not open the pipeline and support drilling?

🤡

Gas still won’t be under $5 a gallon in my state and Joe thinks this is going to help people. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Wow So clever dotard

If our gas taxes were 75% like in other parts of the world, it would be beneficial. It's like having .16 cents for th 4th again.

As California raises the gas tax…. Unreal

He raises priced $3/gallon, lowers them 18 pennies, and wants us to thank him. WE ARE NOT THAT DUMB. November 2022, and 2024, are coming.
