It wouldn't be a gas price thread if Ronricks didn't show up to whine about prices.

You prefer the democrats energy policies

Biden Admin pumped more oil than Trump Admin did despite having far more overreaching 'policies' so what does that tell us?

Because you’re a democrat.

So, because I want lower costs of goods/services, no wars, no wasteful 2 Trillion + spending etc it makes me a 'Democrat'? Sorry, that now how that works. I'm not going to sit here and shill and spin for Trump like you do when reality is very different. I'm sure when the commie pinko Libs dominate the Midterms you will be on here whining and crying about 'fraud' 'rigged' 'cheating' 'stolen' elections and ignore things like:

High gasoline prices
All time high Diesel prices
High grocery prices
High mortgage rates
Inflaiton
Wasteful Sppending
Iran War

Make it make sense Barry.

Its ridiculous to think folks that voted for Trump and his ideas would do complete 180


To be fair, Trump was the one that did a complete 180.

anyone complaining about gas prices likely has a couple car notes they couldn’t afford to begin with. zero sympathy.

They know this but acknowledging it ruins their excuse filled pity party and shilling for Trump.

If republicans lose local races for Congress, it won’t be just because of gas prices.

Were you saying this when Biden was in office?
What you just posted is the evolution of:
"Stop buying lottery tickets!"
"Stop buying $13 Starbucks!!"
And my personal MAGA favorite from a few moths ago - "Walk more instead of drive!!!!!"

ooof, struck a nerve. now you’re lashing out. Regardless of who’s President if you can’t afford a vehicle you shouldn’t buy it.

Personal finances needs to be taught in high schools again. Too many Americans, like angry little ron, running things up on credit. unsustainable.

What an insanely ridiculous conclusion to draw, but par for the course for Trump apologists.

Complaining about gas prices now means someone has car payments they can’t afford? That’s quite a leap.

It’s one thing when prices rise because of circumstances outside an administration’s control. It’s another when the increase is a self-inflicted wound from a completely avoidable decision. Who enjoys paying more for something unnecessarily?

Instead of inventing poor financial decisions to blame unhappy consumers, why not hold the person responsible for creating the situation accountable?

why not both? I’ve got a looong post history of objecting against the war against Iran and the Ukrainian War. Try again, bud.


I’m just drawing my own conclusions. Not justifying Trump’s endless war in the Middle East. You all draw conclusions in a binary manner. To me, one tends to lead to the other. Sorry to offend.

No it’s not. Many people are driving around on 84 month loans. Let me guess house rates are a problem and daily discussion here but cars are affordable?

Is this where we pretend Trump didn’t rely on millions of poor rural voters to win

Regardless, you made a sweeping statement that anyone complaining about high gas prices must have a car payment they can’t afford. My point is that nobody, rich or poor, should be content paying more because of an idiotic conflict.

Look, if Trump had campaigned on Iran being an imminent threat that he intended to confront once in office, I’d say, “You got what you voted for. Tough shite.” But he ran on the complete opposite message. People have every right to be pissed about that, regardless of their monthly budget. The extra couple hundred a month probably isn't breaking most people, but that doesn't mean they should bend over and ask for more.

I’m not the one on here who brags about being rich and hating Trump. I admire you showing up to help your friend Ron though
