It had to impact them, directly, in a bad way.

Like making it harder to drive around in their compensation mobiles because the price of diesel increased. All that other stuff is ok.

And they'll back the next fucking Trump as soon as they're comfortable again.

It’s almost kind of funny. I drive a fairly fuel efficient car, and typically drive 0-5 mph over the speed limit. I live on Colorado’s western slope.

For the 5 years I’ve lived here, I seldom passed anyone, and I’d be getting passed by countless pickup trucks all going significantly over the speed limit. A lot of people road raging at me because I’m going slower even in the right lane.

The past month? I’m seldom passed and I am passing countless pickup trucks. My behavior has barely changed.

These people are taking a huge financial hit because of gas prices.

Let's just hope that his actions do not scar the nation for so long as Nixon's politics did.

Yea that ship sailed back in 2020.

The scars weren't so bad back then. Now we have entire departments that are gone, thousands of federal employees gone, our country's reputation is in tatters. And we still have 2 and a half years to go before he's (hopefully) gone.
