In a segment intended to protect the Biden regime from the outcome of their energy policies, the latest distraction is to claim gas prices are not high when “adjusted” to account for the inflation that Joe Biden has created.
Due to the scale of impact from Biden energy policy there is no real way to obfuscate at a level that hides reality. However, Chuck Todd from NBC gives it a try.
.
Comrades, if you can fill up your car with 2010 gas prices, paid for with 2010 wages…. Then surely you can fill up your pantry with 2010 food prices… while living in your house with 2010 mortgage or rent prices…. or something.
The laughable segment is below.
typical tap dancing doublespeak. seriously u don’t think we’re that stupid ?
Yes. They do think we are that stupid.
His regular audience is that stupid.
They do not have an ‘ audience ‘ ….. it’s STATE Tee-Vee.
Go watch – SoutherPrepper1 – on YouToobe – daily boots on the ground reports.
( I’ll bet he even has greater viewership )
You got that right. Real news for folks that can handle it. SP1 has been burning it up.
Their audience is made up, they are just above CNN which has cratered over the years.
And Common Core math shows that CNN averages 126.3% of the cable news audience. If NBC has higher ratings than CNN, that makes them above average, right?
Isn’t the cnn viewing audience declining every month??
Biden, Cuck Todd and his audience are Richard Heads.
It’s really not always a matter of smart (though in Todd’s case it certainly is).
There are also plenty of technically brainy leftists (I am thinking of one particular genius in my family, and that’s literal) who can’t see common-sense truth because they are emotionally damaged by leftist propaganda.
It’s the difference between “IQ” intelligence and emotional intelligence.
I’ll go a step further… MANY are that stupid.
We here at CTH aren’t that stupid. In fact we’re a hell of a lot smarter than all them but there’s still a lot of stupid, brainwashed and scared of the Coof Americans like my brother. If they haven’t seen the writing on the wall by now they’re toast.
There is a large part of people that have an issue with the magnitude of the evil that has permeated all elements of society. Most if not all people can’t wrap their heads around this evil.
Remember baby steps.
They want us dead and are executing that plan…anyone not getting this by now is a special kind of stupid
We aren’t their audience.
We made everything more expensive, so using that as a baseline, things are normal!
WE? Mostly Right? How about they.
A kindergartner, trying to explain, that which is not true, to adults.
Next try 1970 dollars.
We could use a tank of 25 cent a gallon gas.
I was think’n back today. In 1970, I was in high school earning $1/hr washing boats at the marina. Gas, as you say was 25 cents a gallon.
Anyone know of a kid today making $20/hr washing boats in a marina?
I put myself thru Wake Forest University with a summer waitressing job. Can’t do that today with an average full time year hound job.
WOKE FOREST
Right because Woke Forest has 8,000 employees and 6,000 students. Do the math. Every 4 students are paying for 3 employees. Then back out 85 football players on full scholarships, 20 basketball players and on and on and on and you have one student per employee.
That’s f…ing insane. Oh, and place is now woke. Fixed the name for you.
I had a restaurant manager tell me they were paying over $20 for dishwashers. Does that count?
No, but
chik fil a is paying $16/hour to high school students to shovel out their food.
There are lots of things that Chuck does not know without pretending.
That should be tagged as the comment of the week.
So the queatuon becomes, why does it cost more to refine? Less refineries and no investment by Oil Co. because they are working a global enviroment in thw West. That has simply told the Oil Co. that they no longer want their product.
Mexico is building more refineries and refining crude 24/7.
Viva 🇲🇽 Yucatan Mexico 🇲🇽
F Cuck Todd before he F’s you.
Nope, will pass this to slick willie, that is more in his thought process.
As the great Rush Limbaugh quoted: ” F Chuck Todd”
Proving once again that TV is nothing but a box of lies.
And if Little Mike had given everybody in America a million dollars instead of spending 500 million on a failed presidential bid …………………………. and math is racist as well .
Sounds like that would give $1,000,000 to 500 people.
Not according to MSNBC’s Mekita Rivas
Remember that in their feeble minds, Math is Hard, Racist, whatever.😁🤗
It’s Not their fault.
So …. bottom line according to the Toad, we surely can survive this DEMOCRAT Induced disaster in 2022 if we were able to survive the last DEMOCRAT Induced disaster in 2010.
Self flagellation at its best.
Most fascinating if one looks at the top graphic, with names of Presidents (add in Bush II) in 4-Year Blocks of time. Even the mean of Bush II’s tenure falls below Obama and Biden. Kind of makes the point I noted above.
Then these is this minor point of skipping over the successes of President Trump’s tenure, even with a sham-demic thrown in for good measure.
One does not need to even understand economics or math if one just compares the NBC produced graphs.
“One does not need to even understand economics or math…”
Of course one does, Barbie.
It reduces the administration’s defense to the point of inexcusably.
What a pharking idjit, along with everyone else nodding in agreement with this tripe!
Huzzah!!
Huzzah!
This gasbag is gaslighting citizens about gas.
The stench is noxious.
If Sundance didn’t post these clips, I wouldn’t know that these shows were still broadcast.
Here’s another clip you might want to check out. Russian kinzhal mussile.
Thanks for the off-topic unverified war-mongering propaganda link.

How much of our money was in that explosion?
Likely all of the entirety of whatever the contents cost, including the rebar and concrete used to build it.
lots of …and also killed 50 high ranking military officers include generals…….hmmmm
“Unbeatable Ukrainian imperial warriors killed 20 generals, 30 colonels, and 4000 Russian troops.
Unbeatable Ukrainian imperial warriors destroyed 50 MiGs, 600 tanks,
7,000 trucks, 8 warships and nine space satellites.”
Ripley’s, Believe It or Not
In other words, when you adjust for inflation, a gallon of gas costs what a gallon of gas costs.
plus a handling , tax , and regulation fee……
You nailed it!
A more useful chart would be one comparing the price of gas to the average hourly wage in the United States over time. That chart is only useful if wages are keeping pace with inflation… which they NEVER do.
Cue Stalins quote on grinding people down with taxation and inflation.
I don’t focus on MPG; I focus on $ per month.
How much $ do I spend, per month for transportation (ALL costs) shelter (ditto) food, entertainment, etc.
And then I consider investments; big ticket, one time purchases that will permanently LOWER my monthly cost.
Recently bought a breadmaker; even with the higher cost of flour, I am spending MUCH LESS per month, for bread.
Which means, going forward the ‘savings’, month in and month out, can accrue and be used for another purchase, that will permanently lower some other monthly expence.
Been doing it for YEARS, to get to where we are, and I won’t say the amount if $ we have, as truly discretionary spending, or what percentage of our modest monthly income it is, but you wouldn’t believe it.
And the stress reduction (and the fresh baked bread!) priceless!
Yep. There’s definitely a pony in here somewhere.
BLOODY Peasants …… You ‘need’ us !!
Keep moving the goal post.
Notice that he start out saying gas is now at $5.01. Then later when he makes his comparison he is using an April figure of $4.11.
ministry of truth has flagged this comment …… for pointing out facts you were supposed to miss
Nor does he tie together the fact that refinery costs are going up because there are fewer refineries. And the clincher question, why are there now fewer refineries?
Then again, being a TV news person doesn’t call for skills in critical thinking or root cause analysis, just the ability to read and maintain a straight face? Or would that be a gay face in today’s lexicon?.
Shameful, but what should be expected from the dims ministry of propaganda?
The Sunday morning Stooge Fest is why I don’t watch TV on Sunday morning.
Use to be if a politician was talking it was lying. Same applies to the Chuckster.
Thinking Tower of London, cutting tongues, pulling fingernails and a stretch on a rack.
“…it’s the issue of refining: 730,000 fewer barrels per day.”
There is less oil headed to the refineries and severely restricted output for the oil that reaches them.
Joe Biden’s decision to kill the XL pipeline is responsible for the first condition and the EPA is to blame for the second.
Is it bad to imagine him tied to a post blindfolded and then giving the order to fire?
Yes, that is bad. It is also satisfying, so I’ll be bad with you.
Why blindfolded?
Remember, gut shots only.
I am waiting to see, mostly as an intellectual enterprise, what the SS COLA will be, for 2023.
For 2022, and based on the 2021 economy, (and so before any of the inflation had started) they set it at 5.9 percent.
Given that, and the rapid, massive increases their policies have caused in 2022, HOW much can they jigger the #’s, in order to keep the COLA low, both to lower SS spending going forward, AND to downplay how severe inflation IS?
After all, if they announce the COLA for 2023 is say, 20 percent, that destroys their narrative.
But if they announce another 5-6 percent increase, they will be picketed by the walker brigades.
So you’re saying…
SS COLA is not the real thing? 🙂
In the back of your mind
What you’re hoping to find
…is the true cost of living so that you can confront Chuck Todd with reality.
“The average benefit in 2022 jumped by 5.9%, which amounted to a monthly increase of $92 for the average retired American, bringing the full amount to $1,657, the Social Security Administration announced last year.
But soaring inflation has already eroded the entirety of the increase, with recipients losing 40% of their buying power since 2000, according to calculations by the Senior Citizens League.
The average (2023) monthly benefit would have to increase by $539.80 in order for retirees to maintain the same level of purchasing power as in 2000. “
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/inflation-could-mean-highest-social-security-cost-living-adjustment-since-1981
—
The only months that factor into the COLA calculation are those from the third quarter — July, August, and September.
The 8 major price categories used…
You need to add, if you are drawing Social Security, your MEDICARE premium is taken out before that check is written.
The Medicare Premium for nearly 80-90% of us jumped this year by $28.80 or 19.3%, so that $92 increase just dropped to $63.20.
It is a neat little cash flow trick the US Government plays by mixing the Social Security and MEDICARE money buckets.
Perzactly. Given those are the things they use as criterion, AND that last years was 5.9, how can they not go at LEAST 10?
Meanwhile Congress gave themselves a 21% salary increase.
Question! Why does anybody watch TV news?
CUT THE CORD!!!
So, inflated prices are not high, because of inflation. Did I get that right?
Yep.
He’s a D F!
..I filled my Tank for $22.00 today!
Granted it was for my Lawnmower but I’m trying to stay positive.
I made a no-alcohol fuel run for the mowers a couple of weeks ago. Paid $5.01 a gallon. Regular at the pump already getting close.
Believe that all summer blends are at least 10% ethanol, winter blends have less.
It’s not working Chuck.
Hello Sundance,
I was unaware that he knew anything in the first place. To get hired at MSNBC you must have an I.Q. below 70 (Moron) or have direct connections with Rachael Maddow.
Probably TRUE
To quote Chris Tucker “what the hell did you just say?” Are there really people who will watch this and believe it? Rhetorical question
I guess they haven’t discovered that they look and sound like fools, and most people make fun of them? Can they look at themselves in the mirror and feel as though they are doing an honest day’s work? Lying Scum.
Rather than mocking Herr Todd, we should all encourage him to continue on this path.
After all, there must be a few million of our fellow citizens who still take the MSM seriously.
The pocketbook gives us our best chance to wean them off its lies and distortions.
He has no skin in the game. If he was on the verge of scratching a broke ass from paycheck to paycheck, his perspective would change.
Mr. Rogers is missing a sock puppet from the land of make believe. Here he is.
Please, where do I find the ATM that dispenses 2010 dollars? I’ll take some of those. Even better, I’ll take the ATM that dispenses 1971 dollars. You remember that dollar? The one that was backed by gold.
Only silver certificates, all others were Federal Reserve Notes.
Gold was taken off from US Citizens by FDR.
Why is there jazzy drum music going on in the background?? So annoying!
Don’t know. I happen to be listening to the Sleep Channel on SiriusXM while reading through this thread and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,……………….,,,,,,,,,,,,////////////////, , , / / /
uh, where were we?
All of these tools think they will be sheltered inside Mt. Weather when things go sideways…….
They will be locked out , and the mob will consume them.
It’s history, when your usefulness to the junta is done ….. so are you.
So…which is worse….killing the value of our currency, or killing our energy independence by destructive energy policies? I’m so confused.
The two are obviously inextricably bound; THATS the point.
Use the CC hoax, as justification for destroying our energy sector (under the guise of FORCING us to accept fantasy “green energy”) in order to kill the value of the currency, IN ORDER TO usher in the digital currency.
You will all be starving, subservient and miserable, and WE will be happy!
Except THEY will NEVER be happy,..
While we all appreciate Sundance enduring the infuriating and brain-fogging gas-lighting of the Enemedia, what Chuck-U-Todd has to say, or what ANY talking head Enemedia demon has to say is utterly irrelevant.
Although I suppose it’s mildly informative that we know the gas-lighting continues unabated (should we expect any change?), but my default opinion has been–for several years–that ANYTHING coming from the Enemedia is to be dismissed outright as misinformation, malinformation or outright lies.
You CAN use it, as a “reverse barometer”; detirmine the TRUTH, by it being the OPPOSITE of what MSM is saying.
If they dismiss it as a conspiracy, it MUST be true! is becoming the default position of so many.
One explanation for their blindness, maybe its not so willful?
THEY rely on, and fucus on POLLS.
A1er, MAGA people DON’T participate in polls.
Therefore, ALL of their poll responces, are of those who do not consider themselves MAGA.
TAKE 80-100 Million people out of the “pool” of potential respondents, its going to have a MAJOR effect on the results.
And yet, THEY still view polls asan accurate feedback, on “how well their message is getting across”.
Blindfold a driver, and see how long they drive before running into something; THEY are driving blind.
I’ve taken the same position ever since I saw what the government and the media did to Trump. They tell you only what they want heard or they fabricate complete lies. This includes almost sell of Fox.
The music is awful!
Yes, but on the other hand, it distracts you from the awful CONTENT,…so in that sense, its a ‘blessing’.
Jimmy Carter can tell you, Mr Biden.
A motorist looks at that gas pump.
Sees that price.
Then swears an oath to rid the Earth of the party responsible.
Thing is, just like the Un-Select hearings, which are INCREASING the support for PDJT,…attacking us by raising gas and food prices is counter-productive.
The “average working Ametican” doesn’t NEED Toads graphs and doublespeak libsplainin, to know whats going on, and who is to blame.
They don’t NEED MSM to tell them they, their families and their country were far better off, with “mean tweets”.
And, more and more every minute, they are seeing thru the delusion that electing Republicans is going to make any difference.
A1, MAGA and FJB AND McConnell.
Pipsqueak Todd hasn’t figured out yet that when the tables turn, and they will, that he doesn’t get to ride off into the sunset.
The runt has a bleak future.
Tapper could care less about the truth, he is simply interested in getting his payoff money after spouting nonsense. He loves the fruits of this world more than human freedom and decency.
That is why America is being sold down the river by domestic traitors who are only interested in feathering their own nests.
In other words, he got Mamet Syndrome.
Does charlies really just “pretending” not to know, or could it truly be complete ignorance or blatant stupidity??
Yes. All three.
While using the US Govts cooked up, phony inflation numbers, of course.
