I hope everyone likes their super pricey gasoline.

Those of you who simped hard for Biden and cried about Trump's mean tweets?

I hope you're happy.

I also hope you end up dangling from a lamppost.

Fuck you.
You want people hanged because gasoline prices are up?
Its all the follow-on effects of increased cost of food, shelter and medical care and disrupted supply lines making those even worse such that lower income friends of mine are back to "do we put gas in the car to go to work or put food on the table for our kids?"

And all of it was entirely predictable and preventable and the elite's answer to people living on the edge is "they should just go by a $60,000 electric vehicle." Never mind that the cost of electricity will also be going through the roof since there aren't remotely enough 'renewables' online to handle all the electric vehicles needed so we'll need... wait for it... OIL to produce the electricity to charge the $60,000 vehicles most people on the edge can't possibly afford (but which the elite's portfolios just happen to be strongly invested in so they get money every time a starving family has to go into debt to be able to keep their job and have food on the table for their kids.

They may as well have said "Let them eat cake."

So, yes... Hang every one of the traitorous motherfuckers who knew this would be the outcome of taking this country from a net energy exporter to an importer from all sorts of totalitarian regimes knowing this would be the outcome, but doing it anyway because it added even more money to their already bloated bank accounts. Hang them and leave them to rot so that everyone can know what happens when you push people who just want to be left alone too far.

Head up for the Biden voters; when the food runs out, we're eating you first.
The blather of Stephen Colbert is bad enough, but for all his idiocy he's just an entertainer.

The idiot musings of Pete 'I can't believe it's not' Buttigieg really, really piss me off.

He just proved that his sole qualifications for his position were (a) he's gay, and (b) he likes trains.

Hoo fucking ray.

Yep.  Energy costs do more to destroy standards of living than any other single economic factor, and standard of living has cost more human lives than anything less than a world war or communist genocide.  High energy prices are far more dangerous than another "pandemic" like COVID, because they destroy the health of everyone, not just the old and infirm...

Just a couple of weeks before Soleimani was assassinated (in Iraq where the UN had banned him from setting foot) his Iranian Guard opened fire on a crowd of protestors with live ammunition.  Those protestors were there because of a new tax on gasoline making fuel too expensive.

The original cause of the Yellow Vest movement in France was the imposition of a new carbon tax on fuel making it too expensive to gas up.

The Dutch had similar widespread protests prior to coof for the same reason.

Millions of Black Lives in Africa are about to be starved to death but somehow their lives don't matter as much as a piece of shit who died of excited delirium after injesting enough fentanyl to kill a horse.

I feel sorry for the kid. Not because he has two daddies, but because at least one of them is a soulless toad channeling Marie Antoinette.

Oh hey, look at that. Suddenly the media is doing an about-face on Hunter Biden's laptop.

I am shocked, shocked. Well, not that shocked.

Biden's new budget ask for next year is out. Since the pandemic is over and we're out of the decades-long wars, he no longer had any justification whatsoever for the ridiculously bloated spending, and massively cut the budget to..  $5.8 trillion. Wait, that's not a cut. The government has expected tax receipts of $3.5 trillion. That's like making $60,000/year, and spending $100,000. Can we get Will Smith to slap the man with an economics textbook?

Oh. Record-breaking defense spending. $813 billion, compared to $782 B last year. Guess who's planning a war before the next presidential election? Couldn't be Biden, he's too honest and he's opposed to unnecessary pain and suffering and horrible deaths.

Oh. And a wealth tax! It's only for the super-rich multi-billionaires, pinkie-swear! Please ignore that they promised that about the income tax, yet in a few short years the middle class was being soaked.

Oh, look. He's fucking over his progressive allies too, by increasing the funding for police, instead of cutting it. And trimming back on climate change. Because those clearly aren't the real priorities.

Technically true, but at 23 billion compared to 5.8 trillion, NASA's budget is a rounding error compared to other programs, and the money would likely dissapear into the margins if NASA were completely disbanded.

That's a dead budget as none of those taxes will ever make it through the Senate and
Pelosi will never put up anything that doesn't have her paw prints all over it. 
Expect another continuing resolution in the fall.
