New in PN: Why Trump deserves all the blame for high gas prices
"No POTUS has ever deserved to be hoisted on the petard of gas prices more. That’s not only bc of how he weaponized the issue before, but bc unlike almost every other POTUS, he's actually responsible for where the price is right now."

TRUMP: I don't care. I don't really want to. I'd rather be independent. Here's the thing -- Mexico and Canada need us. We don't need them.

Despite its fierce, thorn-covered appearance, it is a small, harmless creature. Microscopic grooves between its scales allow it to drink water through its skin via capillary action. So cool.
