Don't worry, be Patriotic

 Gas prices have risen by more than $1.50 per gallon since President Donald Trump launched attacks against Iran almost 10 weeks ago, and throughout that time, Republican lawmakers have offered a consistent response to the increased costs: It’s a sacrifice we have to make. (MS NOW)

So, now as the Republicans want to charge the taxpayer with a $1billion elites only ballroom, as the Trump-initiated war in Iran is on, then off, then maybe on or maybe off again, as Trump flies off to play golf one more thousandth time, costing the taxpayers to fly him on his frequent vacations, as SNAP benefits and health Care Costs continue to rise because the Republicans only seem to care about being Pro-Life, when it comes to controlling women’s bodies, SO NOW, we are being told that increased costs of gasoline is a Patriotic sacrifice we all should just shut up about and be grateful that it is costing the taxpayers a billion dollars a day.

The Republicans who were outraged at the $3.15 price of gasoline during the Biden Administration don’t feel like discussing with the media why, now that gasoline prices are higher than that and climbing, they suddenly call upon patience. And when asked why, suddenly these same Republicans feel it is Patriotic to support the Trump War, they remind reporters that it is none of their business.

No accountability to the public, none. Fearing repercussions from their Dear Leader, these cowards in Congress provide a middle finger to the American public. How in the world, unless you are a billionaire, a bigot, a racist, or just a person who enjoys shooting yourself in your own foot, could even consider voting Republican in November or ever!
