minus-square@AzPsycholinkEnglish41•1 year agoRepublicans I know: “Gas is too high and it’s Bidens fault!” Me: “Actually, 203 Republicans voted against a bill to stop predatory gas prices and 0 voted to support it.” Republicans I know: “Cause it’s too expensive to enforce. We all know it’s another govt law to hold over us.” Fucking idiots.
