That was a good one. Still one of my favorites from the Biden Administration last year:

That prompted quite a backlash on social media and multiple news organizations.

The thing is you stack up that 16 cent savings from last years hot dogs and add them up with this and now you are talking serious money. They ain’t laughing anymore. It’s like Christmas came early.

Yea, it's as if this administration is self owning and trolling themselves. I guess you could call that "unity"...

What we need is for the U.S. to produce and refine our own oil so that we aren’t dependent upon nations who are not our friends.
