      He’s literally just echoing Trump’s statement on this. Trump probably doesn’t understand how this works…but Vance very likely does. He knows it’s bullshit.

      The fact that he’s so incredibly willing to sell out *any* morals or ethics he may have had for proximity to power should alone be enough to disqualify him for ’28.

      >“As much as we’ve gotta focus on gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we do“

      I know that Americans are hurting but don’t worry, foreign brown people are hurting worse! Doesn’t that make you feel better?

      >we’re doing everything we can to ensure they stay lower,

      then you would’ve been on a teleconference, the day the war started, with every international shipper, talking to them about how the US has set aside 20B in war insurance and here is exactly what we are doing to make sure the strait is safe for transit

      but you didnt because this admin can’t plan for shit

      you know what temporary? the sun. temporary doesn’t mean shit from this admin and its another dodge so a year from now the admin can say „hey, we told you it would be a rough road ahead“

      “Under the Biden administration, the gas prices were high for four years. Gas prices are higher right now, and frankly, they’re not even as high as they were in certain parts of the Biden administration.” These people are incorrigible.

      And MAGA Meatheads,
      I know 15 million of you just lost your healthcare, but it’s temporary.

      Trump and Republikans will give it back to you next year. Don’t you worry!!

      High gas prices are a huge boon for Russia’s war economy. Trump also just relaxed sanctions on Russian oil.

      Go fuck yourself Vance. NONE of this bs would be happening if Harris had been elected.

      This is a temporary blip that will close a lot of small businesses forever and forever isn’t temporary.

      I have to drive as part of my job I passed the same  gas station today 4 times and saw 3 different gas prices.

      I don’t see how any of this can be „temporary“. The world order as we know it is changing due to their bullshit.

      So we’ve blundered into yet another middle east quagmire that’s going to cost billions and achieve nothing while everything gets steadily worse at home but hey it’s only temporary.

      A temporary blip as a massive recession takes root and demand for oil goes way down due severely decreased economic activity.

      Can you imagine if we had a functioning media that would follow this up with…

      * To what end?
      * What is the outcome you hope to achieve?
      * What are your measures of success/failure for this operation?

      It’s crazy how a bunch of so-called business „greats“ don’t seem to understand project management/success.

      „We have contained this. I won’t say it’s airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight.“

      – Kudlow on Covid early 2020.  Don’t pull a Kudlow kiss of death Mr. Vice President

      They have zero evidence to support this. They started the problem, but have provided no realistic assurances, that they’ll be the ones ro resolve it. The Iranians are in control, and they know it.

      This is what sank Biden’s popularity. They said inflation was transitory and to just wait. It wasn’t though, there were too many unknowns as there always are when trying to predict the future. The difference here is, this initial spike was of their own doing, and once done it cannot be undone. For an example, they could end the war tomorrow, but the price of beef, milk, shrink-flation will stay the same. Fuel is a bit different as it could drip to pre-invasion prices, but that is a long way off.

      I’m so bloody sick of the hypocrisy of the right. The ranted the moment gas went up a nickel and slapped “I did that!” Stickers on gas pumps but give nothing but excuses when their guy is in power.

      Harris would have been crucified if she said that during the Biden Administration with a straight face.

      The Biden adminstration was crucified when they said the economy was doing great when the lower and middle class was still hurting after global inflation after lockdowns. But now, when Republicans are in charge, we just have to take it because Trump doesn’t know what the fuck he is doing in Iran?

      These people think we are fucking stupid. Fuck them

    27. Slaughterfest on

      You think they would have won if they campaigned on „It’s a rough road ahead“ instead of „No new wars“?

      Ask your conservative friends. Remember that they all regurgitated the line that this would be over in a week or two. 

      Keep asking them how that’s going when it costs us a billion dollars a day. All for some other countries influence.

      Its only „temporary“ if they get voted out. We’re about to attack Cuba now as well.

      Make a plan, have ALL of your documents, be ready to wait, and VOTE like democracy depends on it.

      Most families in the US are not able to handle much of a temporary blip because the rich have been taking from them four a long time. We’re just making it through, so even a temporary shock can be devastating. I seriously doubt it will be temporary as well.

      It doesn’t matter to our ruling class though. They live in a different reality. This is a non factor in their daily life. They can’t even imagine the struggles we face every day.

    31. BigHeadDeadass on

      I love how MAGA and their voters are suddenly all about sacrificing short term pleasure for long term gain when they couldn’t even be bothered to wear a mask in public. Hell the voters are already at the pumps bitching about price increases, and if it’s only going to get worse for the foreseeable future I cannot imagine they’re going to patiently wait on „the plan“ to come to fruition

      The existence of our star is but a temporary blip in the timeline of the universe.

    34. joefred111 on

      Historically gas prices go down as the weather gets warmer.

      The fact that they are going up at this time is concerning, to put it mildly.

    35. InsomniaticWanderer on

      Remember when the prices would be fixed day one and voting for Kamala meant voting for war?

      I remember.

    36. AusTex2019 on

      It’s always a temporary blip until you lose your job or lose your house or can’t afford to keep the lights on.

      I miss the days when you didn’t hear about anything that goes on with our government
