Noticed that gas price is under 3 dollars per gallon now which is nice. I dont give credit for the low price to Biden by any means but since so many do I guess they should be happy with him for it lol.

Under $3 per gallon?!? Your gas prices start with a '2'? Wow. I'm jealous. In Southern California I'm lucky to find one that starts with a '4', and the ones that do usually require cash payment and purchase of a car wash to get the price. Newly all gas where I live is still over $5 per gallon.

Eh dont be too jealous. Gas prices aint everything. im guessing your household income is way more than mine. (im between 80,000-85000 for my household income) Also, i drive a gas guzzler (I get about 16-19 per gallon)
Just nice to see the prices coming down despite the fact that demand is still really high.

Would be cool to have a pandemic hit and stop people from driving/flying/going on cruises and stuff to bring them prices down even more though I guess.
 
Some interesting things going on in the gop recently to follow the lauren bobert debacle from a bit back.

A message to brawling Republicans, from the Office of Congressional Fisticuffs

As the presiding officer of the Office of Congressional Fisticuffs, it's clear I need to remind Republican lawmakers there are rules around here.
www.usatoday.com

All right, all right – everybody settle down. We’ve got reports that Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy elbowed one of his colleagues in the kidney while walking the halls of Congress this week.

We also watched video of Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma trying to get a witness in a Senate hearing to stand up and fight him.

As the presiding officer of the Office of Congressional Fisticuffs, it’s clear I need to remind lawmakers on the Republican side of the aisle that there are rules around here, and those rules are meant to be followed.


Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared during his weekly news conference Tuesday that the House “is a pressure cooker” after lawmakers have spent roughly a dozen grueling weeks together in the halls of Congress.

That was evident minutes beforehand when Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) came up behind Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and began yelling in his ear, accusing him of elbowing him in the back as they passed each other in a crowded hallway.

The Senate had fireworks of its own Tuesday as Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) brought a hearing about corporate greed to a standstill as he confronted one witness, stood up and challenged him to a fistfight.

What a **** show.

Tell me honestly that if a US Senator had actually traded blows with a Teamster Union Boss that you wouldn't have watched the hell out of the clip. They could have charged pay-per-view for that fight. My money would have been on former MMA fighter Senator Markwayne Mullin.

Definitely would watch that. I would also be unhappy that it was happening. I would watch though.

They say you never fight a teamster, it always turns out to be two or three more who jump in.

You guys are soooo behind Canada in this. And if it does happen, you should bet against the MMA guy, apparently.

 
Christian nationalism seems to be a core element in a fascist movement….it’s a disguise, no wonder so many don’t recognize it, wrapped in a flag, holding a cross….

“As the MAGA movement seeks a return to the White House, religious extremism is no longer marginalized. It is now baked into the cake.”
