Republicans are EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't give a fuck about anything but power and money.

They don't care who they have to fuck over to get power or money.

If we had a media worth its salt the people of the U.S. and the world would know this.

They are traitors.

They hate democracy.

They are my enemies.

They are the enemies of my country.

Fuck all of them.

This is repetitive OLD SCHOOL SHIT! Every time there is a Democratic administration, these mf'rs pull this shit.....whether there is a Putin factor or not......prices go up and stay there. This is how they keep the masses stupid. "Geee.....a repuKKKe government means low gas prices.."

This fellow is calling it out, and I want to see it on the nightly news. Fuck fox-propaganda. They would just somehow make it look like it was the fault of the White House if they focused on it.

trying to distract us. While they pass all these ridiculous anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, anti-book and a whole host of other draconian acts with their phony anger, they pull this shit at the border with their phony patriotism. But, it isn't just at the border. It's in every corporate boardroom with rich chairpersons and CEO's driving up prices on purpose. Only to hurt President Biden and Democrats chances in the mid-terms.

This guy in the video is spot on with real anger about real corruption. In my mind intentionally hurting our economy and intentionally hurting American citizens is a threat to national security.

They all need to be investigated! NOW!

"I'm fucking mad as hell. I'm telling you Republicans are intentionally working to drive up inflation and intentionally working to hurt the supply chain. Right now Governor Abbott is fucking the DPR (?) which is our (xyz) of state to stop every truck coming out of Mexico. Every Single Truck. 'Safety Inspection". What they're doing, is hanging up shipping for dozens and dozens of miles. Normally a Mexican driver will drive their truck across the border. They drop it off at a depot in America and we'll pick it up and drive off. About 4 a day. They can't now get one through. They can't get one fucking truck. They are backed up for fucking miles. Why?Because they want to drive up inflation. They think it will help them in the mid-terms. They want to cripple the fucking supply chain because they think it will help them. They're doing it on purpose. To hurt you. Your family. Your wallet. This isn't being covered in the National Media.All the National media talks about is inflation. Inflation. Inflation. But they don't want to fucking talk about why it's fucking happening. You have to look at the Texas Media. Houston. El Paso. Laredo. Laredo is the biggest (x) in this country and they've got it backed up so damn far you can't even see the end of the line.These Republicans are the sorriest mother-fuckers in the world. They don't give a shit who they hurt, just so long as they can get some power."

Any group of useless POS "politicians" that would take guidance or follow an even larger POS...what can you expect?

And when I say "politicians," of course I mean "traitors."

He was blaming the supply chain back up on
Texas Gov Abbot for the new border crossing
deliveries from Mexico due to new truck inspections.
He went on to say that trucks are backing up for
miles because of these delays. He also said there
should be national news covering this story.
I checked the stories out that he mentioned , and
Texas newspapers are covering it for a while now.
I also checked the live video feeds for Laredo and
El Paso; his story seems true.
The ports at Houston are also having problems
unloading container ship and loading trucks to get
the cargo moved inland.
He believes that Gov Abbot is doing this deliberately
to cause problems with our nation's economy.

to be on the evening news where hopefully more people will see what is happening. Also need to explain what the governor of TX is doing, not just that the truck traffic isn’t coming across the border. They had no problems with covering the truckers when they disrupted traffic in DC and all across the country.

of a sudden has he decided to do this? Were they coming across the border earlier this year with no problems? Gov. of TX definitely doing this on purpose. I have been thinking recently that republicons have been messing with the economy in some way and big oil doing the same to hurt President Biden and the democrats.

Give a speech with an easel showing pictures of the back up and explain what this guy said. Shine a spotlight on Greg Abbott's sabotage. That'll get it on the network news.

It means little to post it on liberal friendly sites and social media. Better yet, let VP Harris do it. It's the Veep's unspoken job to be the attack dog, and I've seen her mad face.
