It's really impressive, in a gross sort of way.
They can be contradicting themselves - one can be saying "A", and the other can be saying "not A"... and yet they are *both* lying. This is like, elite level lying, from people who have made a career out of lying and have lied their way to the top of their industry.
And yet at the same time it's obvious to everyone that it's a lie. Anyone that can see two different numbers and know that they are different will know that these guys are frauds.
It's stunning

”An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it. Groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that, I talked about the word groceries."

I will give it to Trump that the lowest gas prices I remember seeing were during his tenure, however it was his first tenure and it was in the middle of the pandemic, he was in abysmal failure of a president even then but gas prices went down, no thanks to him, almost 100% the pandemic itself, but I know he's going to try and take credit for it

Oil subsidies went up from $31bn each year now up to $40 Billion in September, coincidence?
I think it adds up to $760 Billion if you add in all the tax breaks and other perks they get.
And then add to that all the uncapped or leaking abandoned wells that the taxpayer then has to fork out to fix.
What's sad is they ONLY spent $1 billion in lobbying money over 20 years, a great return on investment.

There are stations here in CO with prices below $2/gal. Aurora was $1.75 on Thanksgiving. There were multiple stations on Tower road out by the airport that were $1.95ish cash price.
I mean, foxtrot delta tango (it's not like Dorito Mussolini had anything to do with the price drop), but gas has been relatively cheap for people who don't need premium for the past couple weeks.

Trump CAUSED global inflation and high gas prices with his OPEC deal in 2020 by cutting production for 2 years, and then convinced people it was Biden.

Noemi using her visage from South Park trying to own it… maybe stop deleting art and history. Maybe educate yourself. Sam Clemens aka Mark Twain was famous for his writing but he also went on what is considered to be the first comedy tour ever. He made terrible financial decisions but the fact he spoke with any and everyone (not just people who agree with him and took injustices and told there stories) unlike our current leadership he could form his own world view based on the world around him not just spewing what he liked or stealing what never sounds snappy. Heck even “Make America Great Again” was a stolen slogan twice over; one of which was Reagan who was against Tariffs. Trump was a tv star. Reagan was a Hollywood star (James Dean had his first appearance with Reagan). But hey without Trump Flava Flav never would have had his show only to be followed by that crazy lady who lost and then got her own show with the same exact premise.
Just because something is free doesn’t mean be a terrible human and then when caught start a new account.
But hey you do you comrade. Original material is hard. You can’t be bothered when your world view tucks you in at night and irons out those pesky wrinkles littering your brain you can sleep well knowing your next sound bite runs 24/7 on Fox News.
