@LLcoolK So taxes aren't that bad. Oregon tax of over a buck. And gas came down since a few weeks ago. I was just there a few weeks back. Over $6 a gal.

@Livingwell Total tax burden of $1.27-$1.32 per gallon isn't bad? Enjoy your blue state gasoline taxes in Oregon. We're paying $2.55/gal in TX. Several major news outlets including ABC, NBC and CNN reported that gas prices are at a 4 year low.

@Bumbles Are your feeling hurt darlin'? Tim's got some tampons for you if it's your time of the month.

@Bumbles Oh that's very obvious by your inability to stop responding to me. I don't bother you, not one little bit. You're informed and intellectual, you can't be pull into baseless arguments. I'll include a pacifier with your MAGA hat.

@Patriot96 Nothing to do with Trump ;)

@Northwest That's all you got? I'm not surprised.

@LLcoolK So....you ramble on and can't explain how the Orange Traitor Trump is responsible for the price of gas.

Got it.

@JSul3 I think I've limited out with you. The game warden is likely to write me a citation if he happens to catch me.

@Roundandroundwego Putting the pedal to the metal, brother.

@LLcoolK guns, cars, private property medical care, housing and education! Dying fast, you're number one! No alternative. No exit! Yum!!!!

@Bumbles Thanks for being the first loonie who can't help but to be triggered by lower gas prices. I knew it wouldn't take long. Your MAGA hat is in the mail princess.

@Bumbles Imagine shaming people for being poor. Why do you hate minorities, sir?

@Vin53 Another one can't help themselves. Triggered another one.

@LLcoolK Its still true though isn't it.

@Convivial You're welcome! From America and Trump with love.

@LLcoolK nope...

@Convivial Well that's not very gracious of you. Your mother would be very disappointed.
