Over the last months, we've seen non-stop news stories about the price of gas going up and how Trump is responsible for it.

But now that the price has gone down. $0.50 per gallon in the last 2 weeks, the stories about the price of gas heavy evaporated.

Gee, nobody is there, huh?

Well diesel was around $3 a gallon. It's still high as **** so I don't know what you are talking about. Should I be happy that it's in the high $4 range?

Per Trump's maga, if prices are one penny lower than they were under Biden, even if higher than they have been during Trump's second administration, the answer is a resounding yes.

And if grocery prices are higher since Trump has been in office, it's something to be proud of because 'Merca (maga, really) being back, so having less money, if because of Trump, is a good thing.

Gotta love American politics, que no?

And, yes, gas is even down a dime in the LBK. I'll be happy about lower prices when they get back down to where they were before Trump started his war with Iran, that we've supposedly won, yet our military is still fighting and the entire planet is being affected by.

But, yes, the media needs to talk about gas prices being alittle lower than their highest in Trump's second administration.

This is and has been the strategy of the MSM for 40 plus years. Anything bad that happens is the Republicans fault even from the last term. If things are going well under a Republican, it's because of the last term of the democrat. Wash, rinse, repeat.

One way for Trump to have kept gas prices down would have been to drop off a pallet full of unmarked $100s to the Iran government and allowed Iran to develop a nuke.

CNN used to have a graphic on their home page showing the average price of gas compared to what it was before the war started.

They've taken that graphic down for some reason.

I did and I do.

Do you think that Rubio lied to us here when he said that the attack was related to Iran amassing conventional missiles to overpower the US anti-missile defenses in order to restart the nuke campaign?:

I like strategies that don't raise my prices. I'm simple that way.

Also, according to the Google, Iran has never had a nuclear weapon, and we were told last summer that mission accomplished when Trump bombed their facilities and told us that threat was done.

I just want prices to go back down to where they were back before he invaded, when Iran having nukes he eliminated last summer. Again, simple.

This is not that complicated. Trump ran against high gas prices. Trump talked all the time about what high gas prices do to the US economy. He talked all the time how it raised prices for consumer goods. He promised low gas prices.

So now that he is president we are told now that for some reason Trump's gas prices don't have the same effects.

Just like Biden earned the I Did This stickers. Trump owns these prices. This is not what he campaigned on.

This would be a good example then of how simple you sounded.

We have no evidence that they have yet attained nuclear fission or fusion bomb capabilities. However, to say they couldnt produce weapons with nuclear materials in them, i.e. dirty bombs, would be one hundred percent incorrect. Regardless, to be more simple, it isn't a question of if they would attain nuclear bomb ability but when if left unchecked beyond the initial strikes

Even more simple is being so near sighted that you cant realize what rebuilding is after something has been struck

I work in construction and these gas prices have not been friendly at all. A lot of subcontractors are losing money right now because they got the contract under the previous oil prices and are now having to pay damn near double of what it was.

And it's making a lot of manufacturers who my subs buy their materials from increase their prices. Yes because of the oil, and also because of the uncertainty with everything going on right now.

So Trump was wrong last summer?

And, regardless, would you say, like i do, that the point success to be had with this current mission is to make sure Iran has no ingredients left in their country that could be used to make a nuke?

So, you think that it would be impossible for Iran to build another nuke?

Would you rather let Iran hold the world hostage with 100,000 conventional ballistic missiles while they make a nuke?

Hasn't Iran been "weeks away" from a nuclear weapon for like 35 years now?

Yes. That is why I'm sceptical about that claim.

Do you believe that Rubio was lying when he talked about Iran amassing conventional missiles to hold the ME hostage to make a nuke?

Over the last months, we've seen non-stop news stories about the price of gas going up and how Trump is responsible for it.

But now that the price has gone down. $0.50 per gallon in the last 2 weeks, the stories about the price of gas heavy evaporated.

Gee, nobody is there, huh?

Well diesel was around $3 a gallon. It's still high as **** so I don't know what you are talking about. Should I be happy that it's in the high $4 range?


Per Trump's maga, if prices are one penny lower than they were under Biden, even if higher than they have been during Trump's second administration, the answer is a resounding yes.

And if grocery prices are higher since Trump has been in office, it's something to be proud of because 'Merca (maga, really) being back, so having less money, if because of Trump, is a good thing.

Gotta love American politics, que no?

And, yes, gas is even down a dime in the LBK. I'll be happy about lower prices when they get back down to where they were before Trump started his war with Iran, that we've supposedly won, yet our military is still fighting and the entire planet is being affected by.

But, yes, the media needs to talk about gas prices being alittle lower than their highest in Trump's second administration.

One way for Trump to have kept gas prices down would have been to drop off a pallet full of unmarked $100s to the Iran government and allowed Iran to develop a nuke.

You like that strategy better?

Part of the agreement with Iran that we're allegedly almost there on includes $300B to the Iranian government, but do carry on...

The emerging US-Iran peace framework does not include direct cash payments from the United States to Iran, as President Trump has explicitly refused to authorize deals involving "pallets of cash" similar to the 2016 Obama administration settlement. Instead, the proposed agreement centers on a $300 billion international reconstruction fund facilitated by the US and the gradual release of up to $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets held abroad.
Financial Mechanisms and Conditions
  • Reconstruction Fund: The $300 billion figure represents an investment fund for rebuilding Iran rather than a direct transfer of US taxpayer money, though Iranian officials have characterized similar demands as "reparations."
  • Frozen Assets: Iran seeks immediate access to its own frozen funds, with drafts proposing an initial release of $12 billion to $25 billion, contingent on verified actions like reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  • "No Performance, No Payment": US officials describe the structure as "trust but verify on steroids," meaning financial relief and blockade lifting occur proportionately only as Iran meets specific conditions.
That is different than a pallet of unmarked $100's, don't you think?

That's kind of like saying you cut the budget when you're the one who ran it up.

Apples and oranges.

Gas prices went up under Biden because he cut domestic production and was a direct goal of the policy.

Gas prices went up under Trump as a byproduct of foreign policy decision to ensure Iran doesn't obtain nukes.


Domestic oil production increased under Joe Biden.

Thanks to SCOTUS, not Joe.

I like strategies that don't raise my prices. I'm simple that way.

Also, according to the Google, Iran has never had a nuclear weapon, and we were told last summer that mission accomplished when Trump bombed their facilities and told us that threat was done.

I just want prices to go back down to where they were back before he invaded, when Iran having nukes he eliminated last summer. Again, simple.

So, you think that it would be impossible for Iran to build another nuke?

Would you rather let Iran hold the world hostage with 100,000 conventional ballistic missiles while they make a nuke?


No. I fully believe that unless Iran is taken over by us (yes, that means boots on the ground) and we replace their entire government, that any Iranian with hatred to America will do everything they can to rebuild their military and build a nuke.

Which is why, unless my suggestion happens, we'll deal with this with Iran in the future.

No president, even Trump's first time in, did anything to truly ensure they get no nukes, and as of right now, I don't see Trump doing anything to ensure it either. I'm really hoping it's all 59D chess and we're never dealing with Iran again.
