It is gonna be all gas prices all the time up 'till the election. Fuck that! GOTV

"They" have nothing except for a multi million $ produced lie that high gas prices are the
fault of President Biden and the Dems. This is the same playbook that "they" ran in 2014
with non stop "Stop Ebola and Seal the Border" shit that went away the day after the election.

I was channel surfing from MSNBC (53) up to the Weather Channel (62) and hit Fox (55) and there
was one of Fox's Morning Couch Tumors saying something like, "Are the voters going to take it out
on Joe Biden and his regulations that are forcing the oil companies to raise gasoline prices? Why are
the democrats against domestic energy production?"


Stuff:
* Every single republican member of Congress voted against stopping the oil companies from
gouging on gasoline prices.

* Oil companies are making record profits and have used the war in the Ukraine as an excuse
for their high prices and with some of that money oil companies produce bull shit "green washing"
ads with puppies, happy families, and nature shots all the time saying that Exxon/BP err Shell err
Cheveron err fill in the blank cares about the environment. "We live here too." They also use some
of that money to buy politicians and the media in order to keep the fossil fuel gravy train running
meanwhile the Mississippi River is drying up because of climate change. These men and women of
these energy companies are real life mother fuckers.

Edit: "In the second quarter of 2022, the six largest US oil companies reported profits of $70bn."

&t=2s

* Thousands of acres of land in America has been leased by energy companies for oil production and
the are not drilling on it but all the time blaming environmentalists and politicians for locking up "our
domestic energy sources."

* Joe Biden does not control gasoline prices. Those prices are set in a large part by publicly traded
oil and gasoline price futures.

* Saudi Arabia just cut their oil production in order to help the Republicans in the upcoming elections.

Do you want lower gas prices and a better environment? Vote blue no matter who.

BTW Joe Biden just protected this:



Camp Hale, Colorado. And this will be worth billions over time by helping the local economy, sequestering CO2,
by helping to keeping water and air clean, and by having a meadow of lupines.

The repukes keep saying that's why Biden is opening the reserves...just to get votes..
Works for me!! Drop gas to below 3 bucks a gallon and win the midterms. Slowly raise the prices till 2024 and do it again...
