Yes !Iran was just about to attack your hovel !!! could have knocked the front door off its hinges like the back door.
 
Leftists who supported 14% inflation and gas prices well over today's prices are now saying you, yes you, are panicking over a clearly short term gas price hike.

Clearly short-term? Trump must have said that. He also said he would release the Epstein files immediately if elected. Trump lies. He also blunders and bullies his way through life. The only thing saving us from horrible isolation from other nations is our 4 year terms. But Trump makes even that questionable by talking about running again or not leaving at all. He needs the presidential protections to stay out of jail. It will get very ugly when it is time for him to go.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Soon he will declare “victory” but never explain what we accomplished.

How can I stop calling these people morons? Crisis? What crisis? Can the simpleton tell us? No. Comparing a few days of gas being less expensive than the last 5 years has got to be a joke or a cry for attention. I won't even bother to explain how stupid Jarod is, I'll just do this.

  • Gas Price Changes:
    • Carter era: Retail gas prices skyrocketed (often doubling or more); contributed to broad inflation/stagflation.
    • Last 10 days: National average jumped ~14-16%
  • Shortages and Lines at Pumps:
    • Carter era: Severe—long lines (hours or blocks-long), odd-even rationing by plate, panic buying, violence at stations (e.g., fights in Pennsylvania).
    • Last 10 days: No widespread US gas lines or physical shortages reported. Isolated concerns in California (refinery closures + high prices risking future issues), but mostly price hikes only. US consumers largely insulated—no rationing or panic buying yet.
  • Duration and Severity:
    • Carter era: Acute phase lasted 12-18 months (peak lines summer 1979 into 1980); broader energy crisis effects lingered years.
    • Last 10 days: Very recent (war ~2 weeks old); officials (e.g., US energy chief) say spike likely temporary (weeks, not months), with prices expected to fall back below $3/gallon soon. No prolonged crisis yet.
  • Economic/Broader Effects:
    • Carter era: Massive inflation, recession, high unemployment; damaged Carter's presidency.
    • Last 10 days: Contributing to inflation worries, hits trucking/food costs; political ammo for Democrats (blaming war), but US production high/domestic focus means less vulnerability than 1970s import dependence.
How dumb can a person be??? I find myself asking this question daily here, I can't help it when morons like Jarod are still wasting the planets limited oxygen.

I guess if you are an idiot you can squint and pretend that Iran is like Afghanistan and going to last through GWB and another Obama Presidency.
 
The #1 thing of importance in Western theology is that governments protect their people.

Pay very close attention to what has happened.

Bend Over....This will most certainly hurt.

You were very well warned,

FUCK U!

What "energy crisis" are you talking about? There are no lines at gas stations. There's no rationing of gasoline. No one is arguing we go back to a national 55 mph speed limit to conserve gasoline. I haven't read of shortages of natural gas or heating oil.

So, what's the "crisis" here?

Blowing the fuck out of Iran also hasn't made me less safe and I have had no noticeable change in my level of economic activity or costs. So, the question I have is, what the fuck are you babbling about?
