Republicans enraged by Biden

There, FTFY

TheJims ,

They’re better at fake outrage than we are at actual outrage.

Blackmist ,

Remember when they did climb and republicans stuck little "I did that" stickers on the pumps?

Should be taxing the shit out of it anyway to snap the US from it's petrol addiction.

PROFITS!?!!? Where are all our profits????? /s

cultsuperstar ,

The same reason Republicans voted against their own immigration bill: Trump told them not to because he doesn't want to give that win to Biden. No wins for Biden, especially in an election year. Republicans continue holding us hostage so they can to put their fuhr back in office.

xc2215x ,

It is about hating Biden.

TheJims ,

It’s about appeasing trump

todd_bonzalez ,

For Republicans to see this as “disgusting” and “disgraceful” is bizarre.

What are you smoking MSNBC? Vocally opposing Democrats on literally everything, even when it doesn't make sense or contradicts party positions, is 100% on-brand for the Republican party.

Do some opposition research someday, goddamnit.

1M barrels of gasoline is about 90 minutes of national usage. Its not even a blip on the radar of gas prices. It will affect prices by approximately nothing.

While it may be a bad thing in the long run, gettingthat reaction from the enemy is still worth it

STOP TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE YOU FASCIST. WE WANT PEOPLE TO SUFFER >:(

InternetUser2012 ,

I pass a dipshits house that house many flags on it, and ha had signs in his front yard about how Biden is responsible for gas prices being so high for years now. He took the signs down. It makes me laugh.

Is there even a hair of validity to the argument that Biden’s “environmental polices” are leading to increased gasoline prices? The US is literally producing more gasoline than it uses, and oil imports are taxed federally at about 2¢.

Seems like most of the squeeze is from petro states, oil cartels, and corporations that want to price gouge.

Tinidril ,

Whether the US is a net importer or exporter of oil and gas is actually pretty irrelevant to gas prices. It's important for other reasons, but oil is a global market regardless of where it's produced.

Snowpix ,

Republicans are outraged at anything Biden does. This isn't new.

Crashumbc ,

Yeah it started back in 2008 with Obama winning. GOP does nothing but oppose anything "libs" do.

It's been happening since Newt Gingrich. He created the playbook

Asafum ,

exactly! He is the sonofabitch that started the whole "it's 100% my way or go fuck yourself" politics...

InternetUser2012 ,

They can't come up with anything helpful for people. They just take anything a democrat does and do the opposite. It's insane.

Democrats - Lets make peoples lives better: Republikkklowns - WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?! WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!!!!!

Ensign_Crab ,

Oh, it's way older than Obama. Republicans hated Clinton and Carter.

CharlesDarwin ,

They really, really, really lost it over Clinton for sure, because he had a wife that actually had ideas, and, even....spoke about those ideas. In public. They were horrified about this.

cygon ,

Man, I remember when the "Tea Party" (what became the Freedom Caucus, then MAGA) was laughed out of the room by the vast majority of people, and Sarah Palin, who, it is rumored, can still see Russia from her house in Alaska, was not idolized but ridiculed to the point where movies like "Iron Sky" spoofed her with clueless villain characters. Good times.

CharlesDarwin ,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

They are hoping to collude with Putin to push oil prices (and therefore nearly everything) higher so that Ronald McDonald has a better chance of sliming his way into office.

exothermic ,

Am i the only one who is outraged that the gas cap in this photo is not placed on its dedicated holder?

CharlesDarwin ,
@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world avatar

I cannot count how many times I've put that on, and someone I'm with comments that they never knew it could do that. :)

meowMix2525 ,

Oh man now I'm kinda sad that my gas cap is just a flap that is pushed in by the nozzle and I can't go see if it actually had a cap holder the whole time :(

nehal3m ,

People actually use those? I mean, is the cap really so heavy that the little rubber cable won't hold it? I say dangle free, my man!

rc_buggy ,

yeah, the slot is for when the tether breaks.

blazera ,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

its that awful trend of modern journalism where they just quote literally one word.

mPony ,

and the word is never "cunt". It's like people are afraid to say that one.
