They aren't even back to what they were. They're lower than 2 weeks ago, but still about a dollar higher than before the war. It was going in my area for around $2.30 per gallon. Then they shot up to $5.50 a gallon. Now they're around $3.40 a gallon.

$3.40 is more than $2.30.

That sounds like Woke Leftist Math to me. I won't believe this until AI Shrimp Jesus confirms it.

$3.40 is more than $2.30.

You're a Communist Muslim Pedophile.

But didn't you hear the most important part, Trust in Trump?

Trust me bro.

Sounds about right...

  • Trump illegally starts a war without congress' approval to distract from the Epstein files.
  • Fumbles it to the point where Iran ends up with the complete upper hand in negotiations
  • Pats himself on the back for negotiating a deal that left everyone in a worse state than before the war he started.
  • The Epstein files are still in the news, and people still believe he's a pedo.

Now I see how he managed to bankrupt multiple casinos. His shtick only works on gullible people.

Sadly we are all finding out just how many gullible people are all over the US.

You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Stop giving him credit for shit he hasn't done. Prices are not back to pre-war levels yet.

Petrol in Australia I think is.. Not thanks to him, but due to Albo. I am tempted to go back through all my facebook people I argued with and remind them, we didn't run out of fuel like they promised we would

Albo got rid of the Fuel excise temporarily, and did some deals with neighboring countries (I guess that Trump burnt those bridges a while ago though, so might be struggling to do the same)

I don't know about oil prices, but gas prices are still up like 50% by me.

And all it cost were thousands of lives, amongst those hundreds of little girls

Oh, that, and 300 billion dollars

And nothing is flowing

If the White House posts a statement that "The sky is blue," I'm looking out the window to check.

"Sky Blue Again After Trump Successfully Negotiates With Indra, God of Storms" Can this tenuous ceasefire last?

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.

The entire MO of the maga movement is to claim entirely false stuff, brazenly and without qualm. So yeah, they can claim whatever they want. Doesn't make it true, but they will certainly try to leverage whatever they can out of entirely false claims anyway.

Based on the screenshot alone I think you can say doing exactly that worked on at least 8000 people.

Ignoring the fact that anyone and every company still on Twitter must be supporting Elon and his bullshit most people's social media is heavily siloed. No one who cares will see this 'gotcha'. It will be under the fold mixed in with 1000 other responses.

The people this is meant for will see it in their feed, read it and keep on scrolling.

One thing's for sure, I don't think Iran's going to feel an overwhelming need for that nuclear program anymore. They have found something far far more effective to leverage against the their enemies (us).

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 66d

just close and open the strait as they please. Also having nukes gives iran more insurance so to speak. it would also make israels constant attack on iran a little more futile, since iran has been moving thier missiles around.

You shloud write US in majuscule. Because Iran is clearly not an European or Chinese enemy...

buddascrayon@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 66d (2 replies)

I would have wrote it (the US) if that's how I meant it. But their enemy isn't just the US. It's us. The entirety of the western world.

Objection@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 65d

The fuck are you talking about? Iran doesn't do shit to me.

Diurnambule@jlai.lu · -1 pts · 66d

Lol so you are chief of Iran state or something related to Iranian state to decide that ? Okey if you want. Don't group US with USians.

Oh he very much can claim victory.

It’s not true.

But that doesn't matter to maga.

PS: Cushiing oil storage reached operational bottom this last week.
We are rapidly depleting the SPR.

Once those ships escape the gulf their owners arent going to let them go back in ever.

I don't care about oil prices. I care about gas and that's still higher than before this shit started.

tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 65d (1 reply)

most GAS still comes from Oil

lightnsfw@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 65d

Yeah, but until the price of the end product goes down there's nothing to be celebrating. Americans that arn't oil companies don't buy oil barrels.

You have to hand it to Trump, he is unashamedly amazing at glazing losses.

Diurnambule@jlai.lu · 3 pts · 65d

Yeah but it seem you have to have a big propagandas system behind it. I wonder if we survive in year if it would be studied. A company did the brexit, then perfected the method for macron then trump.

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 4 pts · 65d

The way these people speak and behave remind me of the really socially awkward bullies I knew as a kid. Making shit up and somehow still having a lot of people believe them.
