Maybe Oppenheimer? Because strong military men make big bomb to slaughter funny-talking foreigners hell yeah America #1 never forget Pearl Harbor (unless you’re trump and never knew what happened there in the first place).

Combined with stickin it to the soyboy liberal feminist cucks who saw Barbie.


But for real the answer is

Nah I don't think the average Trump Chud would get Oppenheimer. Also - they delve into his communist history a bit and I suspect that would piss them off.

I live in northern California. $3.29 is cheap gas. Where in the US was gas $1.29 when shithead Trunf was in office?
4 years ago I saw gas at $0.99 in southern Alabama.

Also the country was in lockdown because of the pandemic, Russia and Saudi Arabia had just flooded the market, and the spot price for West Texas Intermediate Crude dropped so low it was NEGATIVE.

lol @ Americans complaining that their government subsidized gasoline is too expensive.

In my neck of Europe I have to pay 1.67€ for 1 liter of 95 octane gasoline. That would be 6.32€ for a full gallon, or converted to dollars: $6.85 per gallon.

That was so weird. Oil fell in price so low early in the pandemic it wasn't worth the money to even store it.

Since gas prices are the sole means of grading governments, you should have picked a better place to be born

Also it's weird as poo poo. Oil production is HEAVILY subsidized-- one of the biggest giveaways to capital.

But then they slap a huge excise tax on gasoline itself-- one of the most regressive taxes.

I really like the one guy, he's super chill and friendly and has great taste. The other guy got a part-time job from being a house husband to teaching a spin class, and all he ever does is talk about his enormous loving thighs (which are not hot, they look like a gigantic swollen old scrotum) and I cannot imagine being stuck in any type of sporting event with the two of them. I've been avoiding them since Christmas because last time they offered to let me borrow their equipment when I said that lack of gear was the reason I wouldn't play with them.

It's also this.

it's probably that movie about a white man saving trafficked kids that came out last year

[edit: Sound of Freedom]

always fun to note that, roughly five minutes after that movie came out, the guy that it was based on was forced out of his anti-sex trafficking nonprofit organization amidst allegations of sexual misconduct; then was hit by multiple lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and assault, including acts that happened during his "sting operations"; and then was publicly condemned by the Mormon church and the Utah governor, who also called for a criminal investigation. so really it all made for the perfect piece of conservative content, thematically speaking.

She is a good person! I mean, hopefully. The number of retired teachers who volunteer is kind of wild, but it makes sense thinking about it.

cr0y posted:

Hippotherapy is specifically physical therapy, for people/kids with autism, motor issues, balance trouble, etc. The slow, steady rhythm is calming and predictable. I never worked with the riders, but the horses were angels and it was generally a very calm, safe-feeling situation.

EDIT: Also sorry for the horse derail. Horses and Trump have one thing in common: filling bags with massive dumps

four years ago trump made a deal with russia and the saudis to pump less oil to drive the prices up

https://epic.uchicago.edu/news/colu...nited%20States.

quote:

But this week, President Donald Trump helped forge an agreement with Russia, Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations to raise prices by slashing production. Then he bragged about it.

“The big Oil Deal with OPEC Plus is done,” he tweeted. “This will save hundreds of thousands of energy jobs in the United States. I would like to thank and congratulate President Putin of Russia and King Salman of Saudi Arabia … Great deal for all!”
trump purposefully, personally, and directly raised gas prices. just went ahead and did that.

and ducks and pigs and goats and it's really really cool and they sell food and eggs for cheap. the lady who owns it is a complete bitch who complains and moans about the free acres of land they were gifted and all the people coming to gawk and give her money. literallly stands in a crowd of people buying stuff from her loudly talking about all the people who come and buy stuff from her. it's best to just avoid her

Lots of people mentally slot "the Trump years" as "before the pandemic", because for 3.5 of those years the price of gas stayed low and there wasn't any inflation and all your favorite restaurants were still in business. Biden is the post-pandemic president and so he gets blamed for all the poo poo that precipitated out of it (the inflation, the crime surge, the loss of learning for kids, etc.) even though those were largely caused by Trump's fuckups in handling the initial response and ongoing. It's deeply unfair, but that's politics sometimes.

dems getting blamed for the fallout of republican administrations is more of a "all of time" thing rather than a sometimes thing since Nixon or Reagan though

If Eric walked out right now and said that he was becoming a leftist, does that mean a single diddly gently caress to don? And yet it is absolute proof that this judge is compromised.
