“Time to school the Pajama Boy who runs this account for the Gov – because this isn’t the flex on Trump he thinks it is,” the US Oil & Gas Association, a nonprofit trade association for the domestic oil and natural gas industry, wrote in response before taking the Democrat to task over what it branded Newsom’s mismanagement of California’s natural resources.

Obviously, they’re going to blame Trump and not them running refineries/oil companies out of California.

No, it’s not the flex he thinks it is. I saw it for $2.77 today. In Baltimore. In Maryland.

Completely ignoring who’s fault it was in the first place that gas was above $5 a gallon and that Trump got it below that for CA.

As long as one-party, multi-layered electoral manipulation and fraud are allowed to continue in California, the insanity in government will continue.

‘We’re watching this space’, Newscum said.
Watch out for Uranus, we responded.

👏 👏 👏 Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord Navin. Who wants to pay $2.50 a gallon when you can pay $5.00? Yessirree. Keep Commiefornica affordable. Asshole. We pay about $1.60 a gallon in gas tax alone. And our roads suck.

Back up to 3.70 in Oregon. The west coast states compete to be the worst. I can’t wait to get back out of here but mum won’t move.

And of course it is always Trump’s fault. Even during Bidenflation it was Trump.

Around 3.50 in Phoenix..our fuels come from LA. Blame Greasy Newsom aling with our idiot governor Katie Hobbit, who won’t get a waiver from the EPA to bring in cheaper Texas fuel-or temporarily cut the state gas tax.
