Now they’ll all give him credit for it going down, right?

Just kidding…

...to hear some asshost say that Biden got no blame for rising gas prices and is now getting all the credit now that they are dropping again. Yeah.

They just take the truth and turn it upside down.

I reflexively changed the channel.

Nobody lower than $4.70.

It's not just taxes. The Pacific Northwest has exactly ONE refinery in Anacortes, Washington that supplies all brands.

Prices are significantly higher in California and lower in Idaho.

The drop off is significant, and if it holds, should very much blunt BS GQP talking points.

Should also help neutralize some of inflation.

9. The latest talking point is "it should never have been that high in the first place."

And that "it should be as low as when Trump left office." They think it was under two dollars at that point.

The White House is playing into a fools game with this. Now they have the WH “on record” claiming to have influence over gas prices. Watch big oil turn around in the next month or two before the election raising prices again to high levels. The media will lay the blame back on the White House front step.
