Hope that gas prices stay high until election day. Most people will blame whoever is in power (regardless if it's justified or unjustified blame) and hopefully, it will help Trump to get elected.

Hopefully, the prices will drop after that.

I read that 80% of Hispanics and 50% of black men are for Trump. He should win in a landslide.

His only problems are white suburban women (idiots) and never Trump “conservatives” (fools).

And FJB.


Trump had the USA independent wrt energy wrt to Middle East Oil. NOBODY was able to accomplish this - ever. Yet, he did it. Then creepy Joe reversed it all. So pathetic.

The problem is mail in ballot fraud. If there was no fraud, there is no way that Trump won't win.

I love, really love, how liberal dolts claim inflation is "global" and Biden didn't do anything to accelerate it and in the same breath, claim the US is producing more barrels of oil than at any point in history (true) but then say the Middle East conflict is driving up oil (gas) prices. So nice when you can have things both ways.

MUCH DEEPER MATH

USA consumes 20.0M barrels/day https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.p...of%20petroleum.

USA imports 8.5M barrels/day X 365 = 3.1B barrels/year

Crude trading at $85/per, thus $265B/year leaves US economy for foreign crude purchases

$4 per gallon? It's $5.29 here for the lowest grade E-10. Over $6 for 91 E-10.

Count your blessings you don't live here. Our energy bill for home gas and electricity is off the hook as well. Almost 55 cents per kwh of electricity.

I buy 93 octane E0 here for $4.09. Our electricity is $0.15 per kwh.

But, we're just poor uneducated rednecks/ hillbillies.

No, you're a Yankee Redneck Transplant. Straight Outa Masshole land.

You were smart and got out. I'm still mulling it over.

White suburban college educated Democrat women are the biggest booster of racism and economic ruin in our country. There are a lot of them, and they all vote with their twisted sense of outrage and activism.

I do too. I can't imaging Trump being allowed to be president again. The Dems will take him out legally or physically. He is too much of a threat to over 100 years of corruption they've built.

Just heard on the radio a spokeswomen for the Energy Commision stated that the Biden Administration was responsible for the lowering of the price of a gallon of gas compared to this time last year. So I googled it. Lies. (I thought so) Actually, a gallon of gas costs MORE than it did April 2023. Just like everything ELSE I buy. Funny how 6 to 8% inflation has doubled the cost of everything I need to buy. I guess in lib-speak, 8%=100%.

They are already “taking him out” with all their kangaroo court antics. This is 100% election interference.

Without ballot fraud Trump would have won in 2020 and we would probably have DeSantis running on the R ticket.
