I'm nore interested in seeing how they'll react to loosing 2024 and see if they pull a jan 6 themselves
I've been suspecting they'll go full 'MUH DEMOCRACY', prevent the transfer of power, use the military to block stuff- it sounds stupid, but by now I've learned that the democrats always end up doing what they say others do if they haven't done it themselves in secret already.
 
Let's see...

Close Keystone Pipeline
>Gas prices go up
Release Strategic Reserve
>Sell to other countries
>Drop price by 10 cents for a couple weeks
Boycott Russian Oil
Other companies boycott Russian Oil
Ask Iran for Oil
... <- We are here
...
"Reluctantly" reopen Keystone Pipeline in September/Oct
>Companies make bank
>Dem's claim Biden solved Gas Crisis
>Don't mention he caused it
>Rake in "votes"
>Profit

Please don't tell me what should be conspiratorial musing might be the fucking plan, and the whole Russia thing and the "BOYCOTT RUSSIAN OIL!" thing is just icing on the shit sandwich.
The issue is that Keystone was never finished, so despite Psaki being an utter cunt about it, she's right that undoing the cancellation would have no short-term effects on oil prices. She tried to lay the blame on oil companies for not expanding their operations on existing leases, but frankly, I don't blame them for being hesitant. This administration is much more hostile towards fossil fuels (no shocker when the Department of Energy is full of greenie wackjobs), and even if they went full "drill baby drill"-mode tomorrow, what's to say they wouldn't renege on that as soon as this immediate crisis was over? Nobody wants to be left holding the bag after building out a bunch of infrastructure that they won't be able to recoup their investment on.

The voting public may not always be well-informed, but I'd hazard a guess that enough of them are at least intelligent enough to remember a couple years back when gas was literally half as expensive as it is today, as well as who was in charge back then. Mean tweets don't seem quite so bad anymore, do they?

Yeah, Trump cheering for them to drill was a big part of driving prices down.

I don't believe for one millisecond that they'll actually reopen Keystone. Biden and his eco-terrorist officials are adamant about forcing sham green energy on the USA with us plebs footing the bill for the infrastructure and EVs.
 
Kamala sounds like she's trying to reach the minimum word limit for an essay. The phrasing she uses is kind of infantilizing and redundant. People aren't stupid. Most of them don't care about the geopolitical issues that got both Ukraine and Russia here in this situation in the first place. But a brief overview of "Russia did X, so in response, Ukraine did Y" should suffice.
 
How the fuck does this bitch not wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat knowing that her "legacy" is fucking tarnished to the umpteenth power? This woman will forever be known as that dumb bitch that didn't do shit but somehow made things much worse. She's not even considered a laughing stock anymore because this shit stopped being funny a LONG time ago.

If she had the ability to self reflect she would have necked herself a long long time ago, sometime around the time she sucked Willy Horton's dick to get a job.

It's because she, and other politicians like her, have their heads firmly lodged up their asses and think their shit doesn't stink. When people don't bend their knees in reverence and scatter roses petals before them so their feet don't touch the ground, they don't think "What am I doing wrong that makes people dislike me and my policies?" What they think is "These stupid plebeians! I'll show them what happens when they don't give me the respect I deserve!" They're are completely out of touch.

Wage growth was only 0.5%, so with inflation you're not making more, and when it's that low it seems like we're back to the Obama era where people are just working to make ends meet. The employer is retaining power the employee had for almost the past 4 years.
Oh, I cannot WAIT to hear the blue checks crow, after downplaying the inverse of these numbers for months.
 
Apparently Inflation is not the only reason why gas prices are going up. Gas companies are purposefully upping them and causing "pandemic profiteering". The New York State attorney general is trying to make sure that doesn't happen

They'll try to compare it to jan 6 if they do the same and justify it.
