I don’t want to speak for everyone in Southeastern PA, but those are some janky ass gas stations. Most of the people I know would drive right past them to get to the next Wawa. They’re the kind of places where you assume the gas will have a little extra water in it just to ruin your day.

Since when does the CF make deals that does not include something in his personal pocket?

The first line says it all. To the audience of one. That will get the CF off his back at least for a little while. Johnson does not have the votes and neither does Thune.

You’d think Mike Johnson could satisfy his audience of one by just kneeling down in front of him in the Oval. That would be pretty distasteful for the puritanical gay- and trans-hating Christian, but it would certainly save him from the public self-humiliation he undergoes nearly every day the House is in session. Come to think of it, this is likely the main reason he lets them take so many vacations.
