Poll of the Day > What happened to the "I did that" Biden stickers at the gas pumps?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I guess he only controls gas prices when they go up.

even though most everyone is right wing here in my town, most of the gas stations started calling the cops on the people putting the stickers everywhere and charged a few with vandalism so they aren't around here anymore

don't know what happened to them, but i'm glad they're gone. I work at a fuel/convenience store, and seeing them got annoying quickly

The stickers have been relocated to the "Human trafficking is happening in your backyard" signs.

Matt gaetz isn't Biden

Anyone remember those stickers from the 90s with the aliens and holograms and stuff? Some of them had 8 balls like the pogs.

What point did you think you were making

I saw some Trudeau ones at a Petro Canada. I thought the same thing: does this mean he made it better or made it worse? at the time I saw it, the price was relatively low.

Best case scenario: the people that put them up became educated on the forces that drive commodity prices and realized that blaming one person solely for the price of gasoline is perhaps not the most poignant statement.

Reality probably: the mid-terms didn't go their way, employees scraped them off, and no one is energized to make a statement by replacing them when there are no longer points to score.

I actually just saw one at my pump this morning

their attention span doesn't require their virtue signaling to have any follow-through

Gas is still over $3 a gallon average. The average price on the day he took office was $2.39. I dont think this is the slam dunk you think it is.

That members of the House of Representatives announced Joe Biden is being investigated for human trafficking. I thought it would be clear that's what I was referring to.

So you didn't read your own link?

• After Republicans won control of the House in the midterm elections, conservative lawmakers announced plans to investigate President Joe Biden and his family when the 118th Congress convenes Jan. 3.

Okay, so he's going to be investigated for human trafficking.

• Although Republicans haven't started investigating, an Instagram post baselessly claimed Biden is guilty.

This is immaterial. The Instagram poster may have expressing their opinion about Biden's guilt.
The title of the article says "Instagram post falsely says Joe Biden found guilty of human trafficking".
No one has made that claim since the investigation hasn't started yet.

For fucks sake he is actually trying to defend this. They have no reason to even suspect there is something to investigate you lunatic.

How do you know what information certain politicians have or don't have?

Not a chance I'm wrong here. Not a single time in the Trump era of absolute insanity have any conservative politicians or activists had information, all they have is lies and delusion.

I don't disagree. However compared to the Steele dossier which is now discredited I'd say they have just as much reason as when Trump was investigated for colluding with Russia.

Yo dude, whyd you run away from that Pelosi topic where it turned out you were posting fake news?

With the very key difference that there was ample reason to suspect guilt there, not just some random dude on Instagram saying there might be a problem. That suspicion did ultimately bear fruit in that it was found conclusively that Russia interfered with the election in ways that benefited Trump, just not that Trump had any direct hand in it (and even that wasn't a definitive conclusion of innocence, just recognition that there's no need to conclude guilt).

Nobody with half a brain ever thought any of this was a slam dunk. Obviously it was stupid to blame high gas prices on Biden (especially given that the GOP voted unanimously against an anti-price gouging bill that would have cut down on the extent to which oil companies are screwing everyone over), and obviously it's equally stupid to blame prices going down on him. It's quite rare that the president can be so clearly blamed for something as complex as gas prices, and when they can, it's usually something really obvious (like invading Iraq).

I see them covering nips now.

The House of Representatives aren't investigating because of an Instagram post.
There was an Instagram post referencing the announcement made by the incoming House of Representatives.
You've got your order of events wrong.

The US was a net exporter of gas under Trump. Biden's anti-oil policies changed that. Given how vocal he has been in a key factor in gas prices I don't think it's so stupid to draw a connection.

Is that what the bill was really about, or was it climate change legislation along with funding to special interest groups like is usually slipped into those things?

I'd rather blame him for misuse of the nation oil reserve for personal and political gain.

Blame Obama

Ah, my bad. I misunderstood. To correct that quote:

"there was ample reason to suspect guilt [in the matter of Russian election interference], not just the Republican-controlled house throwing every possible heinous charge they can think of against Biden in a blatant show of political theatrics while presenting zero actual evidence to support any of it.

Better?

Production dipped in early 2020 for reasons that I certainly hope I don't have to explain to you, and have continued to fluctuate since then, but on average US oil production has been higher under Biden than Trump. Are there any anti-oil policies in particular you'd like to cite to help make the point you're trying to make?

Note also that domestic production does very little to affect domestic prices. Oil is a global market: If foreign buyers are willing to pay more, domestic producers will sell to them instead of to domestic buyers. That means foreign prices directly drive domestic prices. Domestic production does affect global supply (and therefore prices), but this notion so many people have of "more domestic production means we'll have cheaper gas than the rest of the world" is nothing more than baseless fantasy.

You don't have to speculate. If you suspect there might be some other factors in the bill that meant that Republicans voting against it wasn't simply a matter of voting along party lines for the sake of appeasing their favourite corporate masters, read the bill and cite them yourself. Don't draw conclusions on hunches when there's all the empirical evidence you could possibly need staring you in the face.

I'm sure you would, but you might want to come up with an actual reason for that before diving headfirst into such a conclusion.

I try to be anti-political but they always gave me a bit of a chuckle when I saw them

Sure. Its clear that most people dont follow whatever fringe websites that are lying to you and you lap it up.

I had to stop responding to Skard, I already made one comment in this thread that will probably get modded, but if I continued to respond to him I was definitely going to get it.

I want to get stickers that say "your mom"

I see that GameFails can't put two images on the same line even if they're small.

I wasn't gonna say nothing, but it's insane how some people will just keep arguing dumb points while always being factually wrong. Can't y'all find something better to do with your time?
