Trump was better in first term when he wasn't surrounded by yes-men and actually got pushback, but that hurt his ego and now it's just loyalty that matters

Love how you selectively cut off where I said “over 12k”

If you want to get specific, here you go jackass.

The average American drives approximately 13,500 to 14,000 miles per year, which breaks down to about 37 miles per day or 1,150 miles per month.


So yes, closer to 3x what you claimed.

Chill.. Its okay when the prices jump under Trump. You should only disagree with the prices if you don't like who the president is.

I still hear people trying to say that Iran wasn't trying to build anything. If that's the case, then why are they so unwilling to hand over their uranium and agree not to pursue further nuclear weapon development? That in itself tells me they were a heckuva lot closer than a lot of people think. Not to mention they believe in the 12th Imam (look it up if you're unfamiliar) who is currently "in hiding" and think that if they can bring about Armageddon, he will return and Islam will become the global religion and peace will reign. I certainly don't mind paying a little more for gas to get the uranium away from this madman regime.

You probably don’t want to hear this, but most conservatives don’t view this term the way you think they do. Aside from the border and a few scattered domestic wins, it’s been heavily focused on international issues. Still, even with the frustrations, it’s miles better than the alternative (there is no arguing that).


I love me some downvotes

I get it, I know people who.. I would call Trump loyalist, even in this past election, who are now very disappointed. But both sides have those who are blindly loyal. Its not just a Trump thing, that is the case with every president. I was just being lazy and going after low hanging fruit by posting what I did. And also, part of me likes to play devils advocate so.. I wouldn't take what I post too serious.

Trump 2.0 has been a hilarious disaster to the point where I’m actually grateful he won (eh, not really but you get the point) so everyone can see how impotent this regime is

He has torpedo’d basically everything he campaigned on and has done more to fracture his own movement than any of his opponents could ever hope to.

Despite having a tremendous mess to clean up once he’s gone, (and God willing with no more American servicemen dying for Israel’s war that he couldn’t help but start for them), I am looking forward to seeing him continue to shite down his leg before he limps off into the sunset.

No worries, Oweo. I know you’re not one of the OT Moderates pretending to be above the fray.

Those guys will call Trump voters every silly name in the book, then immediately turn around and defend anything with a (D) next to it like it’s part of their job description.

Gas prices in Dallas are below $4. In fact, they’re less than a week ago. This is fake news but is anyone really surprised?

Thx, Carrot King

Your lemming fanboys will defend your every action, but not those of us who are intellectually capable and discerning.

at this point in this current term.



and there’s absolutely no “probably”. it without a doubt is still better than what we would’ve gotten with Kamala. And you won’t dare get into a debate otherwise.

but let’s not play the hypocrite, your side was still telling us Biden was completely healthy and with it up until June 2024. lulz.

I don’t care. An extra $30-$40 a month for gasoline is not going to break me. Do I wish it was cheaper? Sure. I don’t like anything that costs me money to go up in price except my stocks and real estate. But almost without exception for all of my life, that’s what happens.

So many pussies.
