    1. Assuming Trump doesn’t completely fuck the election process, when MAGA loses their majority in the House, I want to see Biden show up claiming *”I did that.”*

    2. I don’t know which I miss more about dem administrations; how they didn’t start needless wars, or how they didn’t blame their mistakes or bad ideas on a previous administration every fucking day.

      It’s always seemed pretty obvious to me that the president rarely has any effect on the price of gas. The truly ironic thing is that Shitty-pants actually did do something that will change the price of gas: fuck up the supply chain. Even if gas HAD dropped to anyway near $2 a gallon, Shitty-pants wouldn’t have had anything to do with that. But the recent jumps are most certainly his fault, and definitely not Biden’s.

      It’s a good step, when they start to blame Biden you know that they cannot hide anymore that the situation is really bad. Acceptance is a good step.

      The next step will be interesting to see.

      They were so strong they could make things better day one. The best way to perceive this is that they are way weaker than they promised. We all know the best way gives them too much credit and they have actively made things worse, but even blaming Biden is admission They lied on their campaign.

      My dearest,

      I write to you from the frontline of the oil soaked water wars. The atmosphere is lively, but the mood is despondent and resigned. Many appear to have accepted our lot. I retain hope, but the next days will get even more challenging. My teeth fillings bought me and the other fighters some flat bread. Grand Viceroy Vance sent us a holo-message today telling us that this was all Biden’s fault and we’re like 75% of the way towards fixing it. But I think the last message said we were 80% towards fixing it, so my doubts are growing.

      Until we see each other again,

      Vance clearly displays that he has absolutely no clue how anything in America really works, except for the maga brain. And, he’s definitely clued in to that, constantly singing out their favorite lullaby, as they gently fall back into their slumber, muttering, “it’s Biden’s fault, it’s Biden’s fault, it’s all Joe……zzzzz.”

    8. It’s insane to think that their base is still accepting this as an excuse over a year later, and they’ll continue accepting it as an excuse for the next three years.

    9. The “Blame Biden” well has run dry, yet they keep coming back to it whenever they need to put a fire out.

      Trump has been in office over a fucking year, you cant continue to blame everything on Biden and the previous administration when you have control over nearly every branch of government.

    11. I stg Idk WHY they can’t keep Biden’s name out of their mouths. Maybe they need a visit from Will Smith?

      How much longer before they start insisting that the problem with gas prices began on the shores of England in 1822, when a terrorist illegal immigrant named William Biden had the audacity to show up unannounced and unwanted in Maryland, then went on to marry and father children who would one day give rise to the Supreme Enemy of America and biggest loser of the 2020 U.S. election, Joe Biden?

    13. Gas prices were pretty low under Biden, especially during COVID (2.334/gal). They spiked to $4.929 in Jun 2022 when the recovery kicked in and people really started driving again, plus supply chain issues made everything more expensive. By time Biden left office in 2024, gas was back down to $3.076/gal.

      Now, according to AAA, the national average as of today (3/14) is $3.675. Even the cheapest states are at 3.334 which is higher than when Biden left office. [https://gasprices.aaa.com/todays-state-averages/](https://gasprices.aaa.com/todays-state-averages/)

      I bet no one can point to a policy or action that Biden took in 2020-2024 that could influence gas prices today.

      However, I can point to a policy or action that Trump took in 2026 that could influence gas prices today: bombing a country in the Middle East that controls the passage of 20% of oil supply for the world.

      Biden derangement syndrome?
      These people aren’t serious, the sad part is that a large chunk of their cult base will believe this garbage and will repeat it even though their pedo king is the cause of many of their current problems.

    15. >The story of “two letters” is a famous political anecdote often attributed to Nikita Khrushchev, who allegedly advised his successor, Leonid Brezhnev, to open two sealed letters during times of crisis. The first letter advised to “blame it all on me,” while the second advised, “sit down and write two letters”.

      This administration can’t read or write though, so probably not applicable.
