    I miss tRaitor tRump like an impacted molar. I wish he’d shut up, so I could miss him.

    In other words, you feel safer now under Biden. Got it.

    Except most of the violence was caused by right wing anarchists.

    If you'd like I could post a picture later. The gas station I'm referencing is normally the cheapest in my town. I can also post a pic of the more expensive one.

    Just because some "right wing anarchists" (misnomer if you ask me) are there, doesn't mean that they caused the violence. Remember, the left believes that words are acts of violence. That doesn't mean such is true though.

    It’s amazing how little you know about economics.
    The dollar has dramatically surged to the pound in the past few months, which means it is much stronger now than when trump was in power, so thanks, Biden.

    Before brexit, the pound was $1.60, then crashed to about $1.35 after the brits shot themselves in the head with their xenophobic racist brexit con job.
    Now it’s down to $1.11 and still going down as they suffer the consequences of both brexit, the pandemic economic issues and terrible leadership.
    Meanwhile, the dollar continues to grow in strength.
    Try to educate yourself before spouting rubbish and misspelling affect.

    I’ve posted many links that law enforcement knew it was right wing anarchists inciting the violence.

    A few did yes. In a few instances. The vast majority however was not caused by them.

    The high crime rate is not a failure, it’s exactly what the democrats want. Every democrat policy has been bad for America - open borders, massive spending, inflation, emptying prisons of violent people, leaving Afghanistan, the give away everything treaty with Iran, increased taxes on the middle class, student loans, green energy, mandated vaccines.

    It’s all designed to put stress on people and to cause failure in society and the economy.

    If people are prosperous and happy then democrats can’t “build back better”, they can’t replace the constitution with socialist tyranny.

    So that’s why the Capitol cops opened the doors and waved all those people inside? And once inside 99% of those people were respectful and even stayed inside the tourist walkways?

    And how many people were killed? Just one, Ashli Babbitt, murdered by a Capitol cop.

    I am just wondering: What's the role of government in guaranteeing low gas prices? Did I miss something or is the gas price set by the law of supply and demand? If demand goes up (recovery after the pandemic) and supply goes down (Ukraine war), doesn't it stand to reason that gas prices would be up? BTW: Gas prices were also in the $4 range at the end of GWB's administration. I don't remember conservative whining back then. Oh, I know why, because they LOVED GWB and thought that high gas prices was an okay price to pay for his war on terror.

    My feeling: It's all the drivers of gas-guzzling pick up trucks and SUVs, who mistakenly thought that low gas prices were here to stay, and bought a car that they can't really afford. Now they are whining at the pump, as if their mistake of buying the wrong car is Biden's fault. I guess people always need someone to blame.

    The government gets involved in oil because most of it comes from overseas since they don't like using our own oil that's in the ground. As such its their responsibility to make sure it doesn't get expensive.

    As for Bush, he had two reasons for it, economic crash and a war. While Bush did reach a high of $4.11 in July of '08, by the time Obama took over the gas average was back down to $1.83. So it didn't last that long. With Biden we have had over $3-$4 consistently since he took office. Indeed in some areas gas reached as high as $6 under Biden. So...can't really compare that to Bush.

    No! MOST of the violence of 2019 was started by Right Leaning anarchists, militias or white supremacy groups. It’s well documented, I have supplied many links.

    That’s bullshit even the guy that took the video of the CP letting people pass said it was after the Capitol had been breached. Insurrections walking between the ropes happened when they were wore out after most of the violence had occurred.

    Once inside 100% of those people were breaking the law. They showed their respect by pissing on the walls and smearing their **** in the halls of the most beautiful public building in the world.

    His base was definitely less of a threat at that time — I can agree with this poll.

    His base (tRaitor tRump's) was responsible for MOST of the 2019 violence AND 100% of the attack on OUR Capitol.

    NO! We are not ALL domestic terrorists. You might be, but "I" sure as hell am NOT!

    I don't know what "Goebbelsism" is but it's apparent you don't have an argument and must resort to personal attacks.

    What personal attack? You listened to the same propaganda by the media and Democrats yet, cannot list an example of right wing violence. Let's see real sample, not projections or predictions.

    I have listed many links to the violence caused by the right in 2019. Here are a few more:

    Right-wing extremists killed 38 people in U.S. in 2019, Anti-Defamation League finds
    Right-wing extremists, including white supremacists, were responsible for the majority of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2019

    Riotlandia: Why Portland Has Become the Epicenter of Far-Right Violence
    Portland, Oregon is bracing for a storm of far-right violence. In July, Joe Biggs, a former staffer at the far-right conspiracist site Infowars announced an “End Domestic Terrorism” rally in Portland this Saturday. Its aim: the local antifa movement.

    Biggs, who’s encouraged date rape and punching transgender people, told followers on Twitter to bring guns, declared “DEATH TO ANTIFA!!!!!!”, displayed a spiked weapon saying that it “will be put to good use,” and posted memes about death squads murdering leftists before his account was suspended.

    The “End Antifa” rally organizers include Enrique Tarrio, chair of the violence-prone Proud Boys, which is designated as a general hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and “Rufio Panman,” the alias of Ethan Nordean, a brawny street fighter whose knockout punch of an antifascist in Portland in June 2018 was used as a recruiting tool for the Proud Boys.

    Leaked Documents Show Police Knew Far-Right Extremists Were the Real Threat at Protests, Not “Antifa”
    As protests against police violence spread to every state in the U.S. and dramatic images flooded in from cities across the country, President Donald Trump and his attorney general spun an ominous story of opportunistic leftists exploiting a national trauma to sow chaos and disorder. They were the anti-fascists known as “antifa”, and according to the administration they were domestic terrorists who would be policed accordingly.

    But while the White House beat the drum for a crackdown on a leaderless movement on the left, law enforcement offices across the country were sharing detailed reports of far-right extremists seeking to attack the protesters and police during the country’s historic demonstrations, a trove of newly leaked documents reveals.
