Saturday

When we had a sane, rational, decent man as president? I long for those days so much I wonder sometimes if I imagined things that Biden did. Like this country pumping more oil than any nation in the history of the damn world.

So what happened to that production level? Did that flaming idiot cut it back for his oil industry crony's profits? We all see what's happening at the pump, and it's going to get worse. I'm just not so sure we can hold out until November. And I shutter to think of what he'll do between November and when power changes in January.
