That is actually starting in Nov of '23

The House hasn't taken up the bill yet: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/slee...slation-change

The story about how it passed the senate is also hilarious. Apparently Rubio and Sinema pulled a fast one while no one was paying attention: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/18/senate-daylight-saving-time-vote-accident/

I read the column, a few of the comments to it and the posts on this thread, and....I had no idea people had such strong feelings about DST vs. standard time. Wow.

The time change doesn’t really bother me. If I had to pick, I guess I’d prefer DST and the extra hour of daylight in the evening. Again, not really a big deal.

The dictator wannabe, Joseph Stalin Biden, issued this edict earlier today:

"My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now."


This moron doesn't have a clue how the economy or small businesses work. God save us from this total imbecile.

Some replies:

"My message to the @POTUS running the country who cancelled domestic pipelines, drilling, and oil leases on Day 1 is simple: Stop gaslighting the American people with lies & stop putting America Last. And do it now."



"They are charging a price that reflects what they are paying for gas. The US government makes more on each gallon of gas sold than the oil companies do."



"Somebody in the regime thought it was a good idea to play tough guy against small business owners in a collapsing economy that the regime created.

BRILLIANT!"

This is hyperbole at its finest. PLEASE show us a single example of President Biden wanting to be a dictator compared to Trump! I'm a registered Independent with Liberal social ideals and Conservative spending ideals. Trump wanted to be and stay in power no matter what the majority of the voters say.

You mean, besides the quote above? Or the edicts he gave on day 1 shutting down Keystone, and effectively stifling the US oil industry? How about threatening to end the Filibuster, or stuff the Supreme Court so that he can ram down his policies that no one wants. How about his failed attempt at forcing the entire population to get a vax? How about his Stalinesque "Ministry of Truth"?


From the New York Times:

“Ease Up on the Executive Actions, Joe,” reads the Thursday headline. “President Biden is right to not let his agenda be held hostage, but legislating through Congress is a better path.”

You are conflating liberal policies/ideals with dictatorship. Dictators want to be and stay in power, like Donald and saying there was election fraud and he won the election. Your arguments are silly.

Perhaps you need to remove the blinders....

This response is both fun and funny. That's the best you can do with a rational debate? Take my blinders off?

I gave you several solid examples, and you fail to see them for what they are. That's your problem. What democracy has ever had a "Ministry of Truth"? This was quite in line with the Democrats anti-free speech goals which I'm sure you're unaware of as well.

Why does he want to stuff the Supreme Court? Is there any rational reason other than so that he can dictate his agenda? Again, take the freaking blinders off....
