Will it hit $5.00 gallon for Gasoline. The capitalist are betting it will. We need to be patriotic to our rich !!

Who said corporate kneepadding is limited to Republicans?

The mainstream, DNC-controlled Democratic Party is just as corporate as the GOP. It's just that the latter has less need to hide that fact. The former has to take a "leftist" (in no other country but the US, but I digress...) position on some wedge issues in order to try and fool at least a few actual leftists into voting for them.

Neither party works for the people...

High gas prices are bad for almost everyone.

Even if someone never drives, they still use stuff that's transported by trucks that use gas.

My state has the highest gas tax and the most expensive gas in USA. My stupid governor gave me a big rebate for buying an EV instead of lowering the gas tax.

Trumpism needs your support

I’ve heard it said that our infernal combustion gasoline
fueled vehicles have contributed a fair share to the
atmospheric pollution and global warming theories.

Now we have historic meeting between the wise leader
of the culturally obediently organized Chinese people
and the best and greatest ever president of the unified
people of the United States of America.

It seems the Chinese (like the Japanese before them)
have been able to create n mass produce an efficient
n affordable product for their people to consume and
then place it on a selected Global market.

?

I am hopeful that the one leader of the free world
possesses and exhibits the mature leadership
quality of knowing when to hold his tongue and
he does and says nothing that would diminish
his heritage or the glow of gold on his statue -

"Trumpism"? Is that considered as name calling or label throwing?

Or just another display of your hatred?

Display of Hatred? Is asking questions considered scary to you?

Living down under, and some do, can you share
two of the five things you’ve heard Trump say
that have given you cause to pause with honest
constructive thought or you really peachy-keen
n A-OK with what u see Mr. T do n hear him say?

On the other hand, would you really invite him to
your home for Sunday dinner and choose him to
be a role model for your children?

Serious questions, but if you feel you have the
need, you can probably see all my hatred there,
so feel free -

Should I call it an obsession?

Even though you can't see it, everyone else can.

As for questions asked and answered, you regularly ignore questions put to you, to the point that it's a futile effort to expect answers from you.

Like the old adage goes about trying to teach a pig to dance...

Yet you dance

with your man, while able to ignore the fact that
Donnie boy does something ‘stooped’* almost
every day requiring similar comment for some
to begin awareness in others.

Have you not yet heard Donald say something
that requires the intelligent part of your mind
to take a moment to say “What??!”

If not, some intelligent part of mine considers
your stance n takes a moment to say What??!”

I'm tired of the government giving lazy farmers all our money; capitalism must end now!

Yes Corporate farms should not get any welfare checks from our taxpayers

Corporate welfare far exceeds public welfare.

I agree, China has enough of our money already. >

We don't need to give them subsidies on top of what the Democrats already have given them.

Gotta watch those lobbyists.
