Meanwhile, Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Legislation
Because of course he did. Who could have ever predicted this? /s Trump has been so tough on Russia, lol.
Happy Friday, Comrades!
Of course, Russia has an export ban because they need all of it for themselves. And the amount is de minimis. It’s either a performative charade to find a way to normalize Putin, or it’s just Trump being a fucking idiot, thinking this will somehow lower prices meaningfully before the election. Probably both.
When you understand "the deep state" simply refers to the rule of law, it makes much more sense.

The crazy thing is gas prices are still far below the Biden peak 4 years ago. Like 20 percent below.
Diesel is a problem and has been a structural problem predating but exacerbated by Iran conflict.

On diesel, “structural” is a stretch. Prices had been consistently under $4 for two years prior to the Iran war, and averaged $3.52 in January, before the war. Prices have jumped more than 78% since the Iran war began.
Here’s a chart of diesel prices starting exactly one year before Trump took office until today. The red line is the day he launched the Iran war. Look at the pre and post invasion prices.
I mean, come on. Prices were stable for more than two years in the lead-up to the war.

The crazy thing is — gas prices are going even higher than when I posted this. But Trump admits he doesn’t care because “we’re” making a fortune.
“I can just see the fake headlines,” Trump said. “President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump.”
“But I said, ‘I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune,’” he added.

If you want to rip Trump for gas policy, rip him for trying to explain that gas prices “don’t matter.”
They matter to the average American– a lot.
Petroleum or its by-products are in over 6,000 products according to the U. S. Department of Energy. If the price of a barrel of oil goes up, it reverberates throughout the economy.
