This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

the White House is floating distributing more dyed diesel. it's the same ULSD with red dye and no taxes, so it could save on-road users ~60c/gal. but farmers already use dyed diesel and are still paying record prices. taxes aren't the problem, supply is.
