Rating: Labeled Satire About this rating On March 8, 2021, the America\'s Last Line of Defense Facebook page published a new story about rising gas prices under U.S. President Joe Biden. The headline read: \"U.S. Fuel Expert Predicts $8/Gallon Gas By June.\" > With his \"full speed ahead\" attitude towards destroying everything former > President Donald Trump did for our country, our dear leader in the White > House, Joe \"So Jealous\" Biden may be ramping up to pull money right out of > your pocket and hand it over to Satan himself. > > While that may be a ridiculous overreaction, it remains true that gas prices > have steadily rose since Biden was elected back in November. January, if > you’re delusional and it took you a little while to come to reality. Or not > at all, if you’re a mentally endouchefied dipshit who believes in Q and sees > chemtrails in your toaster. > > \"Trumpers, we’re going to need you to step back and drop the tinfoil > lightsabers.\" > > At any rate, many trumptards believe the rising prices are Biden’s fault, > even though gas prices depend on supply and demand, and their increase > actually signifies that the pandemic is waning, so demand is higher. Joe > Barron of The Epoch Queef asked fuel expert and Tokyo drift enthusiast Han > Lue why these people are so stupid. > > \"Oh, they love to go all \'Keystone Pipeline\' crying about this. That > thing came about during the Clinton administration, and we’ve been fine > without it since then. I mean, the Trump people are know-nothing morons. No > \'jobs\' were suddenly lost over a temp project the disgraced former > President signed on for. They hadn\'t even been guaranteed yet. Again, > Presidents don\'t magically control gas prices. Now, excuse me, I have to > jam on the brakes and skid a car around a corner.\" Advertisement: This item about a purported \"U.S. fuel expert\" predicting further rising gas prices under Biden was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: > Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake > news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have > your head examined. Any similarities between this site’s pure fantasy and > actual people, places, and events are purely coincidental and all images > should be considered altered and satirical. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor. ### By Snopes Staff Recommendations Advertisement: ![\\"Snopes.com\\"](\\"/design/images/logo-main.png\\") Company About Us FAQs Contact Us Submit a Topic Navigate Home Search Archive Newsletters Random Sections Latest Top Fact Checks News Account Join Login Game FactBot Like Us on Facebook Follow Us on Twitter © 1995 - 2024 by Snopes Media Group Inc.
