Yea, I have to keep an eye on the enemy, and I'm always fascinated to see the glee on the faces of Fox talking heads when they talk about the horrible gas prices that are obviously directly caused by Biden. Oh well, back to the hordes coming over the border.

Fox News is now complaining that falling fuel prices are bad for gas station owners | Salon.com
It would be incredible to sit in on their pitch sessions where they try to figure out how to square complaining about high gas prices last week with complaining about low ones this week.

When satire is prophecy.

Lower gas prices is a conspiracy? The one advantage Fox News has it doesn't take much intelligence to feed pablum to their masses. You just have to check your morality at the door

I ran into so many Black Republican who were clamoring Biden be dragged out of the Oval Office to be shot and hung ... after torture. They're an angry, disagreeable lot anyway.

They were upset because gas prices skyrocketed.

I told them no U.S. President can reliably control the pump prices of gasoline and diesel fuel. That the retail price is mostly determined by supply and demand.

I cautioned that the high pump prices they were seeing were most likely price gouging and of course, the grimy stepchild of Capitalism: Corporate Greed.

Good thing I didn't try to warn 46. He was out on his bike.

All you need is the US oil production chart since 2005. Explains everything.

It's always in flux. Why do you political biased gurus love to argue about it so much?

Because it's heavily influenced by global politics as well as domestic policy which are political in nature.

Republican voters are reprogrammable meat bags. You don't need a policy, you need to scare them.

That literally brings new meaning to the term "meathead". And yes, there are conservative meatheads out there of whom are simply more proof that Pavlov's theory is a valid one.

The scarier the lies the better the meat bags respond to them. Isolate them culturally and regionally and keep feeding them the BS that drowns out any and all facts and truths to the contrary. With the rural areas of the nation being the logical areas to do it, you have one of the GOP's standard formulas for transforming good middle class folks into raging racists, supremacists, "America First" isolationists and folks who believe that FOX News is the only reliable source for news and commentary.

Except they are not middle class, they THINK they are, but they are not.

Case in point, where I live.

No it wouldn't. They just know their idiot followers won't care about their inconsistency.

Let's just say that falling gas prices is bad.

Let's blame Biden

They know their base, and that the mouth breathers that can't get enough of their faux news will eat it up.

I gotta ask, why do the Dems keep letting the inflation caused by Powell's money printing press fall in Biden's lap? That makes no sense. Powell and the Fed created this inflation with their loose monetary policies, not Biden.
Just like Nixon created the stagflation of the 70s when he took the dollar off the gold standard. Carter had nothing to with that and stagflation was already nearly 6 years old by the time he took office, but for some reason the Dems let him take the fall for that too.
Why is this? I must know.

When you want the dog to drop your hat, you show him the tennis ball. FOX viewership is looking for something to be angry about, there is nothing to square with such morons.
