Sometimes, I just give up trying to decide if he's even real. I have never seen him in in person, and the stuff he say is just too stupid.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My thoughts on his voters as well. Can anyone, not to mention SO MANY people be so stupid??

I have not experienced in my lifetime, nor have I ever read about in the annals of history, a more pathetic loser than this fucking traitor.

A weak man's idea of a strong man.

Can I show the gas station attendant this tweet?

Art of the deal 101

This right here is why I've always laughed at the concept of "energy independence" through domestic oil extraction. The US produces much more oil than it uses. The oil coming out of the straight of Hormuz is not coming to the US. However, oil is a global commodity and the price goes up or down for everyone.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but the gas you out in your car came from oil imported from Canada. The best way to ensure energy independence is installing solar and wind farms across the US, but the people that scream the loudest about oil prices are against that too

[–] JillyB@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, even natural gas would all be independent from international conflicts. Obviously, if your goal is an energy transition, pivoting into fossil fuels is brain dead, but that seems like what we're doing.

I am not 100% certain but the US imports unrefined oil and exports refined oil. While the US does produce a lot of unrefined oil it would like ti always bring in more so it can continue to make that sweet sweet profit of exporting the refined product.

MOES SOUTHWEST GRILL. EVERYONE IS WATCHING. YOU GET RID OF BELOVED CARNITAS AND YOU BRING IT BACK ONLY TO GET RID OF IT AGAIN. DON'T PLAY INTO THE ENEMIES HANDS. DON'T DO IT. BRING BACK PORK.

Just as sane and grounded.

Why does he have to tweet about this? I though the president had dials and knobs on his desk to control oil and gas prices?

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

someone finally told him about how much oil passes through Hormuz.

Any more dimensions and he'll have to take off a shoe to keep count.

I do hope that people will be placing Trump "I did this" stickers on the gas pumps. Especially in red states and counties.

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Where can I get these stickers that support Dems. Or anyone that isn't republican?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'd prefer something a little bit more to the left of Democrats, but anything is better then the Republicans.

Disclaimer: If someone has a better org to buy stickers from, share it. I haven't actually vetted this site yet.
