You can call 'em  nutcases along with the nutcases who believe in the big lie...

No he didnt.....he called the entire group of folks who showed up Patriots. There are always nutjobs in any crowd, you do understand the law of averages right?...."Dozens" of protesters out of how many thousands were obviously nutjobs?.....Thats not really unusual and the ones that broke the law should be prosecuted and it seems like they are......

If Maryland Can Do It...

You really believe that BS that Russian oil is causing our gas to go up? While it does have a small effect it certainly isnt the cause of this massive rise. We only get about 3% of our crude from them and if you count already processed then its about 8%......The drastic increase certainly isnt being caused by that.....lol

Additionally, “That $130 price point was factoring in the absolute siege mentality in the oil market, where we were staring down potentially losing all Russian output, OPEC not budging and the Ukraine situation just worsening,” John Kilduff of Again Capital said on CNBC’s “The Exchange.” “Now we’ve reversed all of that, seemingly, to a degree at least. I don’t want to get ahead of myself.”

It doesn't matter much if we don't import much Russian oil and we never did. What matters is the effect on the global cost of a barrel of oil. For the upteenth time, we live and work in a global economy...

Sorry you are so blind Rod......the primary driver behind this is the climate change hoax which is a global plan supported by most governments to push the population towards alternative energy sources while the movers and shakers behind the scenes globally fleece the population and gain more control.....I bet you really believe if we pay more taxes they can control the climate by fixing what isnt broken lol

BTW GA is in the legislative process of doing the same thing regarding suspending the state gas taxes......Pretty sure they will have something for Kemp to sign in a week or so.....

Not to mention that nominating the loser from last time is not a winning strategy.

I am primarily speaking of the ones that hold office, not the average voters. One would think that would be understood by anyone not dreaming of a gotcha moment. Sorry to burst your bubble smile
