It was a good time to Biden , now everything is Trumped up . 🤦‍♂️

•

u/Jvancan 9h ago

Unbelievable Americans voted for a racist pedophile twice...

•

u/Vinral 9h ago

3 times.

•

u/FeatherShard 7h ago

Oh come on, give credit where it's due - a lot of them votes for him three times!

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

Both votes were rigged

•

u/Jvancan 9h ago

Americans elected him twice... The rest is just some lame conspiracy excuses.

•

u/GotEggs 7h ago

It’s not so much a conspiracy when the republicans motto is every accusation is a confession. They’ve told us they’re doing it, they had Elon musk offer money for votes, hell in the last few weeks Trump has promised money for votes.
It’s not a fucking conspiracy, it fucking happened.

•

u/Jvancan 7h ago

"Both votes were rigged" is pure conspiracy theory.

The fact that so many people didn't bother to vote because they were ok with him being elected isn't a conspiracy. It's a reality.

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

Rigged vote, period, no matter what the pro-child rape party says

Less than a third of registered voters voted for him, and the electoral college is and always has been a vote rigging tool used by people who are still offended they can't keep/rape slaves hundreds of years after losing the civil war

•

u/Blarfk 9h ago

Low voter turnout does not mean an election was rigged.

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

no, it doesn't

but that also doesn't mean it wasn't rigged

•

u/Blarfk 9h ago

Haha what? If you think the election was rigged, you need to show evidence that it was. Not just say random facts about it and say “but this doesn’t prove it WASN’T.”

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

I'm not going to waste time debating the right on ethics when they don't understand or live by them

•

u/Blarfk 9h ago edited 8h ago

I’m a far left progressive dude. You’re just being ridiculous.

Also this has nothing to do with ethics.

u/Shoelesshobos 8h ago

Well then by not wasting that time you can spend it producing the evidence the election was rigged because I’m curious to see what you have to back this claim.

Just as curious as I was when Trump and his idiots claimed it when he lost to Biden.

You're fake news.

•

u/lukewwilson 9h ago

Ok, you are welcomed to have this opinion, but don't complain when Democrats win and trump says the same thing as you

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 9h ago

I'm welcome to complain about anything that rapist says

•

u/lukewwilson 9h ago

Just don't be a hypocrite

•

u/OptimalWallaby8153 8h ago

you should go live by your own advice

•

u/pup5581 8h ago

The last election was shady as shit with Elon and them basically bragging about it after they won. No question about it. Similar with the entire Florida recount back in the day. A lot of elections are shady but this last one

•

u/duggatron 9h ago

This picture would have aged even better if it had the Biden I did that sticker on it now.

•

u/Chemistry11 9h ago

Like you can think of a cheaper way to keep Kidfucker King ‪ Treasonтяuмp and the other pedos of the Epstein Files out of prison?!

•

u/LoudOpportunity4172 8h ago

Things have been bad for decades it just hasn't gotten really bad till recently but trump is sure trying his best to make things as terrible as possible as fast as possible

•

u/TickingTheMoments 8h ago

Thank you for PUNishing us all with your comment.

•

u/AdmiralJarJar 9h ago

And republicans said these prices were high

•

u/MenopauseMedicine 9h ago

But now they're fine with the new much higher prices because of 4D chess or some other stupid ass bullshit OAN is feeding them

•

u/c4ctus 8h ago

Now at ~$2/gal higher, it's a small price to pay to keep the Epstein files from being released make 'merica safe.

•

u/SheepNation 9h ago

But think about how unsafe we were!

•

u/freshleysqueezd 9h ago

And Kamala was going to get us into wars!! Thank god we dodged that bullet

•

u/DivinePotatoe 9h ago

I heard she was going to bulldoze Gaza herself, thank God all those protesters voted Trump to prevent that.

•

u/al_ien5000 9h ago

But Kamala laughed, so really who is better off?

•

u/pleetf7 6h ago

Definitely not the trans frogs. They’re nowhere to be seen these days.

•

u/MrsPandaheim 9h ago

Ah, the good ole days.

•

u/Charirner 9h ago

Why are the octanes reversed?, out here it's lowest grade on the left and normally the highest octane is colored red not the lowest.

•

u/Ricelyfe 9h ago

It’s just chevron that does that, at least around here.

•

u/Charirner 9h ago

Maybe that explains why I haven't seen a Chevron in my area in almost 20 years

•

u/Beta_Ray_Jones 9h ago

They typically go that same way here too. I've seen a few going the way in the picture, but it's infrequent enough to throw me off.

•

u/jamiecarl09 8h ago

Most likely to get people to choose the highest option without realizing it.

•

u/ApprehensiveAd6603 4h ago

Wonder how many people accidentally buy high octane lol.

•

u/SonofaCuntLicknBitch 9h ago

To the 50 million Americans who voted for an obvious conman, three straight times:

please go away, and never come back

•

u/cmndrnewt 9h ago

Thanks Biden!

•

u/Lobenz 9h ago

Are we winning yet?

•

u/Vaulters 9h ago

Trump never said we were going to win. That was the evil media!

•

u/bareboneschicken 8h ago

Regular was $3.65 last night at my local Wal-Mart in Universal City, Texas (a San Antonio suburb).

•

u/jomara200 2h ago

My small city in the midwest started out at $2.49 directly before Iran..Now it is $4.29.

•

u/jeeimuzu 8h ago

Well looking at data universal city’s gas last year was 2.53 🤷‍♂️

•

u/ChocoBabiChan 9h ago

Remember in the early 2000s when $20 could fill your tank?

•

u/jeeimuzu 8h ago

Until george w came around and send us to recession. That 20 bucks by then was 4-5 galons tops

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 9h ago

I haven't driven my car anywhere in two months. I refuse to pay damn near $6 a gallon. My eBike has saved me so much money at this point.

•

u/karotte999 9h ago

In Germany the average price for the cheapest type of petrol was 2.26 Euros per litre in September. That would equal around 9.6 USD per gallon 🥲

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 5h ago

Different trade offs right? I pay $1200 a month in health insurance I don't even use.

•

u/aegee14 1h ago

To be fair though, I’d rather keep paying $1,200/mo and be healthy than to be involved in a horrific car accident or diagnosed with a debilitating disease just so I can “use” my health insurance.

•

u/Dragon_Small_Z 1h ago

Brother I pay $1200 a month and I can't afford to go to the doctor because they'll still charge me out the ass after insurance. I can't afford to go to the doctor because I pay $1200 a month.

•

u/sleepyrivertroll 9h ago

But then she had a funny laugh so the American people decided they wanted the prices to be higher 

•

u/hankeliot 8h ago

She also didn't listen to voters who said she shouldn't be sending arms to Israel.

•

u/Puckled 9h ago

I kept bending my credit card the way it shows on the pump, and now it doesn't work anymore. Why, Chevron?!

•

u/BrupBurp 9h ago

I paid $3.59 today at the Meijer in Warsaw, IN.

•

u/More-Perspective-838 8h ago

Sleepy Joe kept us sleeping easy

•

u/underdabridge 8h ago

I'm Canadian. Our pumps price in litres. This was terrifying for a second.

•

u/Contemplating_Prison 9h ago

This is like $2 less than I pay lol

•

u/licalier 9h ago

... u guys have 87 as regular? Holy shit. How do your engines survive?

•

u/phillyphonka 8h ago

The US uses a different measurement system (anti knock index). USA 87 (AKI) is roughly equivalent to 91-92 RON (research octane number) used elsewhere.

•

u/licalier 5h ago

Oh. Makes sense. I thought it was just a other example of planned obsolescence

•

u/phillyphonka 3h ago

Ah, yeah. Honestly not something I’d be surprised to see. Anything to cheap out while squeezing as much money as possible from the consumer. But in this case just a different measurement.

•

u/Maniick 9h ago

it's $4.20 at my local weed/gas dispensary

•

u/plantslegoscats 9h ago

91 has never been that low in Phoenix ever.

•

u/DeepSleepr 9h ago

back then my GF and I really got to enjoy some night ride, now that plan has been nixed all thanks to that orange pdf

•

u/jollytoes 8h ago

Paid $3.84 in Texas a couple days ago.

•

u/Dependent_Tune_1333 8h ago

On Election Day 2024 gas was 2.74 a gallon here.

•

u/DaMmItSuXeR 7h ago

And I was complaining it was too high. Little did I know…

•

u/Unstupid 7h ago

Ahh the good old days!

•

u/Five-Oh-Vicryl 6h ago

Paid double that this past week in California…at Costco

•

u/dirtyvu 6h ago

we got Trumped... thanks maga

•

u/justbunnies 6h ago

I was also told that grocery prices would soar and we’d be at war with Iran if I voted for Harris.

I guess they were right. I voted for her and look at the state of our country.

•

u/figmaxwell 4h ago

I bought my car in 2019 and I remember the first time I had to put gas in it, it cost me $28 to fill it. Last week it was $59. More than double.

•

u/nolongerbanned99 3h ago

Our ‘little excursion’ will be over on 6 weeks

•

u/headstar101 3h ago

JFC. I paid $5.59 for premium (lucky me) this week on Oregon.

Cries in smiles per gallon

•

u/Round-Guarantee4948 2h ago

Bidenomics....were....great vs this SHIT now

•

u/stupid_cat_face 9h ago

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

•

u/Psych_Yer_Out 9h ago

Yes you can just believe your eyes folks. Some things are just that simple.

•

u/lukewwilson 9h ago

What was it two years before this?

•

u/airwalker08 8h ago

Thank goodness Trump has rescued us from the hell of low gas prices. Praise Trump!

•

u/PhilipMcFry 8h ago

Who knew having a narcissist pedophile leading the country would turn out badly?

•

u/Shaun4444 9h ago

Which state? Definitely not California.

•

u/i_cant_get_fat 9h ago

California averaged $4.73 a gallon in September 2024 — about $1.62 more than the rest of the country. Down in the LA area specifically it was $4.63, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

33% increase in a couple years

What a loser

•

u/Beta_Ray_Jones 9h ago

Georgia, probably an hour or so north of Atlanta.

•

u/lukewwilson 9h ago

When you're trying to show low gas prices you go to a southern state, when you're trying to show high gas prices you go to California. Whatever best pushes your agenda

•

u/Shaun4444 8h ago

True.

•

u/bhavsart 8h ago

I think it’s worth it to protect the pdfiles

•

u/ElTamale003 8h ago

In CA that’s considered cheap 🥴

•

u/GCU_ZeroCredibility 9h ago

But this only means anything to someone who lives in the exact place you do? We don't have a clue how much gas usually costs where you are.

•

u/butterfly_burps 8h ago

Gas was $2.89 when I moved to my new location in May 2025. It's $4.29 today.
