Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsToday I had to go into town today but stopped for gas because I thought I might run out.
Gas is usually about a dime more in the county. When I started pumping the gas at 2.59 a gallon, I saw a man about my age in the 80s at a near by pump. I smiled at him and nodded.
He said gas will be $4.00 a gallon in two weeks.
I said, "I had not heard that."
Then he said Biden ordered it.
I said "I had not heard that."
Then he said Biden has stock in the gas companies.
I said "I had not heard that."
When I got to town Walmart gas was $2.49 a gallon.
Something tells me he was a MAGA. LOL

(14,965 posts)It is painful to pretend that I don't pay attention to politics. I need my job, so I have to stay neutral. Sometimes I just want to jump out and strangle the person, depending on what they're saying and it's usually about Biden and it's always absurd like the $4 gas. SMH
Fox news and all these RWNJ podcasts/Newsmax/OAN channels have really been successful at their brainwashing of people that are susceptible to brainwashing. 😔

(5,616 posts)Biden is letting in all of the illegal immigrants, provided that each one carry in 5 gallons of gasoline as an 'entrance fee'. And they can do it (they have legs like cantalopes, you know).
Sorry, I just can't resist sharing a funny thought!

And when it doesnt - will you admit someone played you for a sucker? Why would they tell you that? And what does that tell you what they think of YOU?
