    The Pravda outlets keep trying to claim that Biden handed Donnie the WORSTEST 'CONOMY EVAR and YOU ARE LIVING IN THE GOLDEN AGE YOU PEASANTS AND YOU BETTER START SHOWING SOME GRATITUDE, and I’m sure many of these assholes buy that when they hear it, because I sure as fuck hear them repeating it like good robots.

    But the cognitive dissonance of seeing $5/gal gasoline must be causing them a real headache, I’m sure.
