Biden's tweet threatening gas stations
twitter ^ | July 2 | Joe Biden

Posted on 07/02/2022 11:50:49 PM PDT by RandFan

@POTUS

My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

They let me pump my gas on the Merritt Pkwy and 95, but as soon as I reach the People's Republk of New Jersey its back in the car, subject. Btw, the CT rest stops are fairly well maintained.

Recently, I forgot and started pumping my own gas in NJ. Luckily, the attendant didn't understand English all that well, and mistook my "I'm sorry...you can pump" for "I'll do it." I felt like Braveheart.

“You could chalk it up to the dementia, but he’s always been like this.”

Correct. He is a stupid, corrupt, liar. Emphasis on STUPID.

We do not have a President at this time. Why are things bad? This is why. When bad people do bad things, more bad things happen.

Please, all, never vote D again. The Dem party is exactly what Michael Walsh says it is: a criminal organization posing as a political party. For anything to improve in this country that party needs to be eradicated.

I cannot begin to imagine you treating anyone “unfairly and insensitively.”

Ever.

That’s just weird!

And thank you so much.

Hoping God is listening.

I have been here 22 years and found some of the best people on earth.

Y’all know more about me than my own people and supported me more than my own flesh and blood.

She’s an atheist so I doubt she cares much what God knows of her.

Weird how I have had liberal friends for years and loved them dearly yet when they “found out” I was conservative, they went berserk and ditched me instantly.

Really tolerant, these people.

[I am a her, by the way...I’m starting to wonder why I seem like a guy to so many] ;D

Wow.

You must know her.

My hubby is one as well and I have no idea what is “wrong with me” that I keep attracting them into my life.

I must look like a sucker for abuse.

I know that I am a typical “2 x 4” person, which means that in certain things, I have to be hit over the head with a 2 x 4 to get a point across.

When I proposed to my wife all those years ago, I said one thing I could not abide was mind games, and implored her never to employ them. Always be straight up with me, even if it hurts me, and I operate best that way. For example, if I ask if something is bothering her and she says “No”, then...that is the end of it. I won’t be analyzing her voice or facial expressions. I accept that “no” is “no”.

I have always been that way. So you can imagine what my response was when my friend said all these things to me.

I can’t talk about it with anyone else, because he obviously harbors these feelings towards others in my circle of acquaintance, and I don’t want to poison anything.

But when I told this, angrily and nearly tearfully to my wife, she gently told me in no uncertain words that the issue lay not with me.

I have tried to reconcile with this friend and succeeded to a degree on my part because I valued both him and the friendship, but I suspect that our relationship is damaged in his eyes to a severer degree. He is a friend, and largely alone, and I feel I owe him that effort for a lifelong friendship, at least in my eyes.

But something in my heart tells me it will never recover fully.

I was thinking the same thing. If Joe says we are in a state of war, he can try to compel companies through the emergency act, am I correct?

....and total tax burden is what % of the retail price of fuel? How is the infrastructure in your area given all the fuel tax collected for “roads and Bridges”

Yes I assume this is why he uses that language. Clever stuff.

I get the same. I apologize. I am also a female but I often get called a guy here. I guess conservative women aren’t public whiners so people think we are guys!

Just saw where the Red Chinese are praising Jo Jo the Pedophile Ice Cream man for no longer blaming Pooty for the high gas prices and pushing it off on evil, CAPITALIST gas station owners. (If this is true, why hasn’t the price of a gallon sized Slurpee gone up? Hmmmm?) I’m pretty sure I now know where Jo Jo’s 81 million mail in ballots came from. Look for the Mailed In China labels.

“A time of war and global peril”? What the hell is Jo Jo talking about. What war? What global peril? The illegal immigrant invasion of America across our southern border? Sexual disorientation in our Headstarts and Kindergartens? The war for that last package of toilet paper at the supermarket? Does he mean he’s starting a war on “refugee” Circle K “associates”?

I believe he is setting the stage for just that.

Demonizing gas station owners is the first step.
There are numerous editorials out there now promoting nationalization.

This POS is far more Marxist than I realized.

My message to the farmers running dairies and setting prices at the store is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Tell your damn cows to make cheaper milk.
And do it now.

My message to the farmers getting eggs to the grocery store and setting prices is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Tell your damn chickens to lay cheaper eggs! C’mon, man!

And now he is using the EPA to go after the Permian basin oil fields. Have you seen Abbott’s letter on this?
