I don't disagree up to a point - Ken Paxton is a terrible person so Republicans are not immune to this either.

SDVCuck, Fat Bastard, and DeBoer will say or do anything to defend their hero Trump no matter how far detached from reality it is. I am convinced that SDVCuck and Fat Bastard would offer up their Wives to Trump and sit in the corner watching.

And the poors are still crying about fuel prices


I have 5 kids still at home and the wife and I work within 15 miles of the house and the third highest pay out every month is gas cost. Not poor, just pissed off that I had to cut my 401K contribution back by 50% to be able to afford to live as a result of a completely unnecessary war that the little hats duped us into getting into.

same price as 19 years back. again these people are lucky it is not 10 a gallon. like how the costs of other goods and services have risen post covid under biden.

and many are not going back. it won't be for lack of trying but biden left us a shitshow. be tough to get most back to trump 1st term levels pre covid.

vehicle prices have been ridiculous for ages. labor costs went through the roof and equipment costs went up once covid hit on my business dealings.

Maybe once you get to 25k in your checking you won’t be such a wuss about gas prices.

Oil is below $99 right now, yet you whine about gas. Which Trump policy causes average oil prices to become high gas prices? Don’t be scared to be specific.

The day after Biden was elected shut down 625 million acres of drilling in the Gulf of America by executive order. He also shut down phase 4 of the Key stone pipeline. All of the drilling companies moved their rigs overseas to keep them working. There was very little drilling in the U.S. for 4 years. I don't guess that had anything to do with the gas prices!! Supply and demand.

The polls are hella oversampled to skew results towards the Dem candidates. I don't know what that means for the Senate race, since the news was reporting a +8 advantage for Emory Soyboi Ossoff, but the goal of the polls being "close" is a suppressive tactic to make the other party's supporters feel like there's no point in voting.

What they're not reporting on is the myriad steps that have been taken (in spite of efforts by RINO crooks like Gabe Sterling & Raffensperger to keep the grift going) to shut down the various fraud pathways that have been previously exploited.

There's been far too many steps taken by SSA to identify bogus social security numbers, fraudulent registrations, etc. for them to pull their 2020 shenanigans again.

Plus, the DOJ is actively investigating the usual suspect blue counties/precincts ahead of these midterms. Have we forgotten the raid at the Fulton Elections Board from January? The juice isn't worth the squeeze for these street level Urban Democracy Squad members this time. They'd be the first to get popped by the Feds if they tried that State Farm Arena horse shite again. Ruby Freeman isn't going to save Keisha.

The biggest canary in the coal mine has been the Dems have spent all of 2026 trying to prebunk their losses by spouting the nonsense that Trump is going to rig the midterms. They've done it this entire cycle. They know the DOGE investigations into USAID fraud and other dirty money wheel greasers has dried up. They've been crying since the spring about how Trump is going to rig the midterms, but then the same talking heads went on record for saying that 2018 & 2020 was nothing more than the overwhelming will of the people and anti-Trump sentiment?

As far as the Dems are concerned, the elections were rigged in 2016, 2024 & in two weeks, but 2018 midterms and 2020 were totally on the level? GTFOH.

Folks like to point to Trump and say that he feels the elections are only "fair" when he wins, yet that perspective ignores the "Too Big to Rig" factor in support for him in 2024. They overplayed their hand in 2020 and none of the numbers we're told happened made sense in that election.

They had to shut down the whole damned planet in the name of a pandemic when all that truly happened was they weaponized annual flu/cold numbers to create a statistical emergency with breathless marketing - all to get Trump out of office in 2020.

They're not going to have that kind of cover this time.

but you can afford that big arse house note
big arse car notes

ONLY 15 miles from home and it is top 3 expense? that mileage is nothing.

congrats on cutting other costs but i drive way more than you and it is nowhere near my top 3 biggest expense.
context matters.

that is like me saying

all my stuff is paid off which it is btw...........homes, cars, etc,

however see example below

i could say:

1) top expense is my insurance
2) utilities
3) gas

so hey it is TOP 3! but is it really that much?? answer is no.




what do you drive? an abrams tank? or you have

house note
car notes
gas

because u severely cut all other spending. if u got insurance and utilities lower than gas....congrats?
