To anyone who voted for orangeboi because “gas was lower when he was in last time”: fuck you and your unbelievable idiocy and willful ignorance; I hope gas becomes cripplingly expensive, if only so that you can understand how much of an abject imbecile you are.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Of course it doesn't bother him, HE doesn't pay that price, WE do! I'm not into this war, I don't think we need it, and destabilizing the entire Middle East doesn't seem like a positive thing to do.
So I'm not real thrilled about being asked to foot the bill by paying higher for oil that is NEVER going to benefit me. What's the point of controlling all that oil, if it is only going to make the price go up? I liked the old system better.
So we get a pointless war and higher gas prices! Man, Republicans are so bad for everyone...
Worlds biggest oil producer starting a war to limit supply and increase oil prices with daddy "drill baby, drill" at the helm. Shocked Pikachu face
I'm actually kinda shocked he didn't blame Biden or Obama.
Nvm I just checked the narcissists prayer and 'blame others' comes after pretending it's not even a big deal.
So, give it a day.
I dunno, I mean, this just makes me even more enraged about the Epstein Files.
Yeah, he isn't paying it and if he is, he can't afford it
This is a tax on the poor
Everything is a tax on the poor.
Any trump "I did that" stickers showing up?
Or I dk focus on renewables so there would less impact when you go to war no one wants. Imagine if this douche went ultra hard on renewables in America. now that is a proper distraction from his crimes but no let's make things worst cause he's a cultist.
But then you can't make your friends in oil more money! Remember, they helped him get back into office and stay out of jail, so he's gotta pay them back!!
