@lmgray33 @RNCResearch Pls look up the definition of hoax. Most of this is just framing you don't agree with. They're not lies.
Take the 1st one. It's an opinion, not a hoax.
#2: Not a lie, ICE did detain 5-yr old Liam Ramos.
3rd: Hegseth denies it but multiple sources said he said it.
Etc, etc
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch "both sides do this"
I consume news from all over the spectrum and I'd challenge you to find a far left news source (Mother Jones, The Nation, etc) that would lie this egregiously.
They also issue corrections asap when they do get it wrong—something Fox news almost never does.
English

@rrwhitaker @RNCResearch Doesn’t change the fact that he voted illegally. Thats the important part.
And agree, ‘media’ (not news) on both sides do this.
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch I have no problem believing that you don't care which party he was from but sad that you posted an article from something called "Conservative Brief" which just lied and said he was a Democrat. Partisan, fake news hackery pisses me off just as much as this tool voting illegally.
English

@rrwhitaker @RNCResearch Don’t give a 💩 who he voted for. The fact he did vote illegally 3 times has been proven true. He shouldn’t have been able to vote and he did. Doesn’t that piss you off that he negated a Democrat vote? Yeah, he was caught. But after the fact and the votes he cast counted.
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch Btw
He was a republican mayor who voted for Trump three times.
Maybe try some news sources that don’t straight up lie to you.

Everything I’ve learned about Chud The Builder is against my will. I want to make this clear fellow white people: if any of you ever defend this, you have a serious problem. And you need to stop. This disgusting human is thankfully now off the streets. CAUTION: this video contains extremely racist graphic language.

@BskiMike22802 @RepDanGoldman Your timeline ignores that crude was historically low when Biden took office because of the lockdown glut. And Keystone was years from being operational. And drilling leases were years from being online.
Iran? What a cockup for the US. We'd be lucky to get back to JCPOA.

Dear Vinegar,
The name is doing a lot of work, and I respect the commitment to personal branding.
Now -- you actually made an argument, which is more than the last two managed, so you get a real answer. You deserve that. Let me address your claim directly: that global supply-demand from the pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war are the "main factors" I conveniently left out.
Here is the problem. You walked into a science classroom, and in science, we do not accept "here is a factor that exists" as a complete argument. We look at TIMELINES.
Biden took office January 20, 2021. National average gas: $2.17 per gallon. That same day -- same day -- he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline and suspended new federal oil and gas leases. Not week two. Not month three. DAY ONE. Before he had unpacked a box.
Russia invaded Ukraine: February 24, 2022. Fourteen months LATER.
By January 2022 -- BEFORE a single Russian tank crossed the Ukrainian border -- gas was already at $3.54 nationally. That is a $1.37 increase with no war, no Ukraine, nothing but executive orders, cancelled pipelines, and frozen drilling permits. The pandemic supply disruptions you are referencing were ALREADY resolving by mid-2021 as vaccines rolled out and the economy reopened. Americans for Prosperity documented at least 25 separate Biden administration policies that specifically drove energy costs higher. Twenty-five. That is not global supply-demand. That is a deliberate ideology applied to an energy policy.
Here is the part that actually proves my point better than I could have scripted it myself: when gas hit $5, Biden's response was to fly to Saudi Arabia and BEG OPEC to produce more oil. Not lift the drilling bans. Not reopen the federal leases. Not un-cancel Keystone. Go hat in hand to the same foreign regimes I criticized in my original post and ask them to please increase the global supply we just artificially constrained. If it was purely global supply-demand and nothing to do with policy, why did he go to OPEC instead of his own oil fields? Because the ideology will not permit it. Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism.
The pandemic and Ukraine were ACCELERANTS. Biden handed them a dry forest, a can of gasoline, and a lighter and then blamed the weather.
Now. "How's that Iran war working out?" That is a fair question -- and the answer is already IN the post you called smug, which I notice you did not actually read before responding. As of this week, with Operation Epic Fury actively underway and the Strait of Hormuz militarily contested, gas nationally sits at $4.51. Ohio is at $4.62 and FALLING. Biden's Autopen hit $5.02 from a DESK with NO WAR. We are fifty-one cents cheaper per gallon IN AN ACTIVE SHOOTING WAR than Democrat energy policy managed on a quiet Tuesday in June 2022.
That is how the Iran war is "working out."
You called the post smug and called me a smarmy hack. Those are argumentum ad hominem -- attacking the person rather than the argument. You did not dispute a single number. Not one. You added a factor that the timeline demonstrates cannot explain the January 2021 through February 2022 price increase, and then threw an insult because that apparently felt like a counterargument.
It did not change the gas price data. It never does.
But what do I know -- I am only a published textbook author who teaches how to read primary source data for a living, which is apparently a skill set that does not come standard with the name Vinegar.

The cost of this reckless war has already surged to $29 billion and the Pentagon still can’t fully explain where the money is going or how long this will last.
Meanwhile, gas and grocery prices are soaring and families are footing the bill for another unnecessary foreign policy disaster engineered by Trump and Hegseth.
Would @HouseGOP like to explain this to their constituents?
USA TODAY@USATODAY
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday said the Trump administration has a plan to escalate the war in Iran "if necessary" as the Pentagon raised the war's overall cost to $29 billion nine weeks into the conflict. Pentagon officials disclosed the increased cost, up from $25 billion projected last week, during a House Appropriation subcommittee meeting while a ceasefire between the United States and Iran hangs in the balance. The Pentagon is seeking $1.5 trillion in the next federal budget and more than $200 billion in supplemental funding from Congress amid the war in Iran. bit.ly/4uJBN2M

@BskiMike22802 @RepDanGoldman A lot of smug, preening bs right there.
Love that you break down all the factors for rising gas prices under Biden but leave out the main ones: global supply-demand issues caused by the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
How's that Iran war working out?
Smarmy hack.
English

Dear Rep. Dan Goldman,
Oh, you want to talk about a foreign policy disaster? You absolute Snollygoster. You walked into the right classroom. Pull up a chair. Class is in session.
$29 billion, you say. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? That is a fascinating question from a man whose party never once asked where the $6 BILLION in unfrozen Iranian assets went when Biden's Autopen handed them over in a prisoner swap. Not a peep. Or the additional $10 BILLION funneled through Iraqi electricity waivers. Or the roughly $150 BILLION in sanctions relief delivered courtesy of the Obama-Biden JCPOA — the deal that gave Iran's regime full economic breathing room while doing absolutely nothing about their ballistic missile program, their proxy warfare network, or their stated official policy of "DEATH TO AMERICA." Your party was so proud of that deal. So. Very. Proud.
You want to know where the money went, Congressman? I will tell you EXACTLY where $16-plus billion of YOUR party's foreign policy dollars went. Ninety percent of Hezbollah's annual operating budget. Ninety percent of Hamas's. The Houthis. The Kataib Hezbollah militia. And the Explosively Formed Penetrators — those are the Iranian-engineered IEDs specifically designed and manufactured to punch through American armored vehicles — that killed and maimed American service members in Iraq for years. I want to be clear that this is not abstract to me. One of those Iranian-manufactured EFPs hit MY vehicle. So do not stand at a microphone and lecture me about WHERE THE MONEY GOES when your party was signing the checks that funded the factory that built the weapon that hit my truck.
You genuinely could not pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel — and yet here you are, deeply concerned about a defense expenditure, after your party spent the better part of a decade directly subsidizing the enemy we are now fighting. The audacity would be impressive if it were not so weapons-grade stupid.
Now. Gas prices. You are suddenly alarmed about families footing the bill. That is touching. Truly. Let me offer you a few numbers, since arithmetic appears to be giving you some difficulty today.
Biden's Autopen hit $5.02 per gallon nationally in June 2022. From a DESK. With a PEN. No war. No naval assets deployed. No Strait of Hormuz under military contestation. Just Tuesday morning in January 2021, when Biden's Autopen killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, suspended new federal oil and gas leases, and then went hat in hand to OPEC — foreign regimes — begging them to produce more oil for American families. No bullets. No aircraft carriers. Just a signature and a national energy policy designed by someone whose mind operates like a browser with 47 tabs open and none of them loading.
Here is today's math, Congressman. As of May 13-14, 2026 — WITH Operation Epic Fury actively underway, with the Strait of Hormuz militarily contested, with 20% of the world's globally traded oil flowing through a warzone — the national average for regular unleaded sits at $4.511. Ohio is currently at $4.624. And notably, Ohio's price is DOWN from $4.782 just one week ago. The trend line, even in an active shooting war, is moving in the RIGHT direction.
Biden's Autopen hit $5.02. FROM A DESK. WITH NO WAR.
We are — right now, today, active military conflict and all — STILL 51 cents per gallon below what Democrat energy policy achieved purely through executive orders, cancelled pipelines, frozen drilling leases, and OPEC begging. No Strait of Hormuz required. No aircraft. Just a pen — or, apparently, an autopen.
Let that number sit on you for a minute. Because I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and produce a more coherent energy policy argument than whatever you just posted. The gene pool genuinely needs a lifeguard when someone with a congressional seat and a press account cannot do that math.
Quinn's Law Number One: liberalism ALWAYS generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. They said they were saving the planet. They lit your wallet on fire and expected a thank-you card. The lights were on in the White House from 2021 to 2025, but the power bill on American families was most certainly overdue.
But what do I know — I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who had an Iranian-manufactured EFP detonate against my vehicle in Iraq, and can read a CBO score, a gas station receipt, AND a foreign policy brief simultaneously, which apparently puts me a few laps ahead of at least one member of Congress who is busy being the hood ornament on the clown car of Democrat foreign policy outrage.

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch Safeguards already exist. 36 States have voter ID laws and the ones that don't require it for registration. States don't want to turn their voter rolls over to the fed. gov.
"why did not one dem vote"
It was more than a simple voter ID law—it created new mail-in ballot rules.
English

So we shouldn’t put safeguards in place to ensure secure elections because there is a perceived potential that a citizen wouldn’t be able to vote?
And again, if a majority of all people want voter ID part of the SAVE Act, why did not one dem vote for that when it was brought as a stand alone bill in the senate?

@FordJohnathan5 @ChrisVanHollen It’s not about the money you ass. Vanhollowhead is an alcoholic who spends massive amounts of other people’s money to sustain his addiction.
English

BREAKINGNEWS: FBI Director made claim that @ChrisVanHollen paid over $7,000 bar tab in El Salvador while visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
We find out the $7,000 tab wasn't in El Salvador or wasn't at a local bar. It was through a catering service for staff paid for by campaign funds. Not a single dime from tax payers, but from contributions.
FBI Director Kash Patel should resign for this reason and 100 other reasons. 🚨

@FearedBuck In what world does a racial slur justify physical violence?
There isn't one, and I don't want to live in one.
What Chud is doing is rude at the worst; those words shouldn't lead to his dog getting killed and being physically assaulted.

English

@FearedBuck Dude gets sucker-punched for talking facts on the street, pulls heat in self-defense, and still catches a round himself. Society’s so quick to cry “racism” when someone calls out chimp-outs, but the second a based guy stands his ground? Media spins it as villainy.
English

@RapidResponse47 Alcohol is really the only excuse you have for what you did.
MS-13 is a vicious gang involved with drug and human trafficking, as well as extreme violence. Yet you decided it would be a good idea to fly to El Salvador and meet with one of their members.
Truly despicable.
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch There's a principle in Western legal systems known as "Blackstone's Ratio." It holds that wrongful convictions are a greater injustice than letting a guilty person go free.
Our founder's were strong believers.
The same principle applies here.

@rrwhitaker @RNCResearch My coworker did. She was confident that no one was looking and that it wouldn’t be much of a penalty if caught.
‘Random one offs’ is one too many.

@VeronicaLyn_T @MsAvaArmstrong @BruceWorrall8 What are you talking about?
Oakland's Mayor is Barbara Lee (African-American) and Fremont's is Raj Salwan (Indian American).
Neither are "Chinese".

@MsAvaArmstrong @BruceWorrall8 Fremont & Oakland (SF Bay Area) both have Chinese mayors.
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch So non-citizens are risking prison time and deportation to vote?
Nope.
Republican activists and Republican State Attorney Generals have been hunting for evidence of non-citizens voting for decades but all they can find is random one-offs.
It's a fallacy pushed by RW activists
English

It is illegal for non citizens to vote and the ONLY thing that prevents it is that someone has to check a box saying they are a citizen. You have shown that there ARE cases that have been confirmed of people voting but be serious, are people looking for it? How is it caught? Once you vote your vote is counted and what would cause anyone to suspect or investigate? I know of a co worker from Canada who was not a citizen but voted in multiple elections and bragged about it. So IT happens and we don’t really know how often because it’s not looked at. This will PREVENT it vs waiting for someone to turn someone on or question it. So if you agree that they shouldn’t vote, what’s the big deal about making sure non citizens don’t. Because even when it’s caught, the vote still counts.
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch If the SAVE act was purely a Voter ID bill it would have more support. But it's not.
That said, many from both parties are reluctant to pass federal legislation regarding elections. Because, you know...State's Rights.
English

What wait?!? Most states already have voter id requirements?!? How awful and racist!! So why such a fuss to make it requirement for all federal elections? And if strong majority of both parties want this, why did not one dem vote for it when it was brought up in the Senate as a stand alone bill?
English

@lmgray33 @RNCResearch It's a federal crime for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. There have been aprox. one dozen identified cases of non-citizens voting over the last 20 years.
The idea that non-citizens vote is a fallacy promoted by cynical political operatives.
cato.org/commentary/tru…
English

Of course the SAVE Act does more than just voter ID. Why is there fierce opposition to preventing non citizens from voting? Why is there fierce opposition to making sure voter rolls are accurate? It’s common sense. Dems want to make sure Trump doesn’t steal the next election, so let’s make sure the election is secure. One vote for every citizen.
