Is Eric's SUV an 18-wheeler?I live 45 minutes away from him and 3 days ago I filled up my car and I thought the pump shut off before it was full because the cost was several dollars less than it had been. https://t.co/1qJeM5DIoV

The oil market is in another tailspin. Producer group OPEC+ is scrambling to stop the bleeding. And gas prices are falling fast, with more to come.All of this is music to the ears of drivers.US gas prices fell to a fresh six-month low of $3.31 a gallon on Thursday, down 50 cents from this point last year, according to AAA.Drivers in 10 US states - including Texas, Kentucky and Kansas - are paying less than $3 a gallon on average. Andy Lipow, president of consulting firm Lipow Oil Associates, expects that another nine states will join the sub-$3 list in the next two weeks.Data from OPIS, which tracks gas prices at 130,000 stations nationwide, shows that nearly 41,000 of those stations, or nearly one out of every three, are already charging less than $3 a gallon for regular gas. A year ago at this time there were barely 100 stations nationwide that were below the $3 mark.By around Thanksgiving, approximately 35 to 40 states could be below $3 a gallon, GasBuddy’s Patrick De Haan told CNN on Thursday.
And that's not even including the War on Christmas 2024! And while I have you here:The Marxist Dems have prevented all the members of the Trump family from ever being able to attend church for more than a century, except for weddings, funerals, and political events. https://t.co/dcDf3pqmyZ

Ah, the police union is coming to the defense of the police; including, I guess, the officer who has been suspended.“Was therefore redirected to the ground”

As one of the few lawyers in this country who has tried federal civil rights cases in federal court, this IS a civil rights violation. The first officer was within the the bounds of the law. The second officer broke policies, rules and rights.

The police union is the most… https://t.co/ocXi927wY6
Yeah, about that:I’m inclined to agree with John here regarding where things crossed the line. Tyreek Hill rolling up his window was stupid and the officers could claim at that point a legitimate basis to have him pulled out for officer safety. You can’t roll your window up in that situation, I’m… https://t.co/eZsEtNO8gR

I was told as a young driver (i.e., still a teenager) to be polite to the police officer and, if possible, step out of the car to show compliance. Not because I'd get a cop on my back or be "redirected to the ground," but because it might get me out of a ticket. And it did, more than once. Of course, I'm never Driving While Black. I mean:Hill: I'm not trying to cause a scene because as I let my window down, like people walking by, driving by, they on notice and they can start taking pictures I just really wanted to get the ticket and then just go on about my way and have a great Sunday pic.twitter.com/KAta8zXBD1

We would like to stress to the community to use this as an opportunity to remember that it is always best to obey lawful police commands first and complain later.
Pretty much the reason the officer was suspended.Hill: If I wasn’t Tyreek Hil, worst case scenario, we would’ve had a different article. Tyreek Hill got shot outside of Hardrock Stadium.. pic.twitter.com/3QHk6q2ABY

In the following, ignore Eric and read the scroll next to him. What Harris has said/done about police officers in the past sounds pretty damned sensible to me. Trump, by contrast, wanted the Central Park Seven summarily executed. And that was a long, long time before MAGA.Despite claiming to clean up the swamp, he’s giving absolute power and immunity to government agencies and plans to give police ABSOLUTE immunity. It’s beyond dangerous. They have a tough job and most police are moral heroes but there has to be accountability. pic.twitter.com/7TWe6MteSN

No wonder the police unions and the FOP love him."Mr. Trump has exhibited a lifelong view of the criminal justice system and the exercise of state coercive force as an instrument of power to be used to impose order, not as a system in which innocence is presumed or restraint is the ideal." https://t.co/tSwEqICA0m

Well, we wandered far afield from Eric's Ignorant Rant About Gas Prices, but maybe he doesn't want to think about the price of gas dropping further by November. Me, I don't want to think about victims of DWB, or the police unions who protect them and support Trump because he wants to give 'em more of what they've already got.

Anderson Cooper is apparently tired of eating shit and telling everyone it tastes like sugar.Taylor: There are many people who had issues with the way the 2020 election was handled

Cooper is reacting like a man who finally realized everything he's hearing from Trump apologists is just variations on "Some people say."Cooper: There are people who committed election fraud and they were attorneys allegedly working for the former president who actually orchestrated a plan to get voting machines, take them to hotel rooms and break into them pic.twitter.com/uyj7JSdv9f
