You know its very hard. LOL

Magates will love him regardless and dutifully pay the high prices.

A dozen eggs large eggs today, $1.79. Gas today $2.59. Insulin, $35.00.

Voting for the convict, staying home, throwing the vote or voting third, not willing to vote for a woman, I blame all of them.
I have a lot of issues about what Harris ran on but c'mon, was it worth to let this______back into the WH?

I don't understand either.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Where was that? Eggs have been expensive at Shoprite lately. Like $3.99 a dozen. I paid that for gas at BJ's though.

$ 2.49 here at the moment but we buy from a small egg farmer for $2.
Thinking of the big picture...
What will happen if all the workers will be deported?

Harris Teeter.

I do too. But it's kinda sad when you apply it to this context. At first I thought it was a good bit of snark. But in listening to it a few times and thinking about all you folks are going through right now, well... yeah, sad is the word I'm going with.

Don’t be sad, Nate, seriously. It was just an election and, despite some hysterical claims to the contrary, we’ll be doing all this again before you know it.

What issues did you have with Harris?

 

[X Factor]

Meh, I'll keep it for as long as I like, but probably. He was still a better choice when compared to Harris' platform and the form of communism Trump seeks to bring.

I don’t care that you didn’t vote for Trump but Harris voters sure care that you didn’t vote for her.

SUCKERS!

But in his TIME magazine “Person of the Year” interview, Trump suggested he might not be able to lower prices as he promised to do.
Appearing to remove himself from the equation, he declared: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard.”

MSN

Furthermore....

"It's hard to bring down......" doesn't necessarily mean, it won't happen.

And how much lower, did he promise to bring down the prices?
Did he give a number? A dollar? 5 cents?



On the other hand.......


How many got sucked in by Biden when he said 9 times, he will NOT pardon Hunter?

Forgot all about that already?

Were you among those who got sucked in?

SUCKERS!

Just a clear picture of what he said:




J6 pardons. Do you have in mind what the first 24 to 48 hours will look like?

I'll be looking at J6 early on, maybe the first nine minutes. I'll be looking at oil prices bringing down, you know, coming down very substantially—meaning energy, energy costs coming down.
And with energy comes everything else. See, they really hurt themselves. It went away from my energy policies, totally. It was going to crash.
The numbers were through the roof. And then they went back to them. They said, Okay, just let it be.
With energy, they opened, you saw what was going on. The energy was going through the roof. And then they said, just go back to Trump's policy. And they went back.
Now the difference is that I would have had three times as much now.
They have essentially, sort of, they tried to get to equal but if they didn't do that, you'd have energy, you'd have you'd have inflation that would have been much worse than it is.
And it already was probably the worst this country has ever had. We've had the inflation.
They lost on inflation, they lost on immigration, they lost on—as a part of immigration, I think a very big part is the border, the border itself.
You know, if you can self subdivide the word immigration. They lost on the economy.
But it was a different kind of—it was the economy as it pertains to groceries and small things that are actually big things for a family.



If the prices of groceries don't come down, will your presidency be a failure?

I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up.
You know, it's very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down.
You know, the supply chain is still broken. It's broken. You see it. You go out to the docks and you see all these containers

That's the interpretation of whoever wrote that piece in your OP.
The writer had paraphrased.............and had twisted the context.

It's not the actual interview...........................and as we can see from the transcript (post #85).............that's not really what Trump had said.


The source for that piece of crap is called, Alternet.
It's a left-leaning news site.

​

Lol - I'm telling you - anyone easily falls for what any media says today.....................................they're the real suckers!

 

[Port & Starboard]

The biggest problem with 90% of the people on this forum is that they will never admit when their side is wrong.

They log on and regurgitate the same talking points day after day.........and at all costs.

 

[Lovebug]

What issues did you have with Harris?

Money for 1st time home owners.

 

[Josie]

Money for 1st time home owners.

Why are you against that?

 

[Lovebug]

Why are you against that?

Really?

 

[Josie]

Really?

? Is it supposed to be obvious why a Democrat is against that? Because it's not. Why are you against money for first time home owners?

 

[mike2810]

Trump will at least focus on the economy and not the woke, Marxist bullshit that was the focus of the Biden administration.

Focus is one thing. One can focus all one wants. it is results that count.

He already has said it is going to be hard to lower food costs.
It will be interesting to see if energy costs drop 50% within 12 months of Trump taking Office.

 

[Uncensored2008]

BJs wholesale. Like Costco and Sam's club.

Out here in the Peoples Republic, BJ's is a Brewhouse and Restaurant.

Gas is $4.39 at Costco. You must live in a Red State. The Marxist democrats **** everything up - so gas is absurdly expensive.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Well Putin won.

Putin wasn't running.

But Iran and China lost their asset in the White House, that's for sure.

But you can't really expect better from those MAGA commies.

Back to your childish opposite day nonsense.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Meh, I'll keep it for as long as I like, but probably.

I mean, it was never true in the first place. Really no less true that when you put up.

He was still a better choice when compared to Harris' platform and the form of communism Trump seeks to bring.

"Trump Communism" DRINK!

Such silly "I know you are but what am I" nonsense.

If Trump were Communist, you'd support him.

 

[Uncensored2008]

While the continued misuse of the word "Marxist" is so eye roll inducing that i might have to get my glasses prescription changed, I get your point about the pendulum, it's very much the same up here.

First off, Nuhn Uhn isn't a valid or convincing argument. Secondly your party dopped the charade a long time ago. You don't need to keep telling that lie. Yes, the democrats are a Marxist party and open about it - except for a few clingers on DP.

The difference is that both sides of the American spectrum have gone extreme, to the point where it's less of a pendulum and more of a wrecking ball.

You're trying to make excuses for the radical extreme you party has gone to in the last 16 years. Obama vowed to fundamentally change America, and during his three terms in office, did so - to the point that Americans don't recognize the nation.

I don't particularly care about the sides bullshit, and i certainly do not define myself in that context. And while I have plenty of reason to despise Trump, I'm bored of debating topics that center around him, as just the mention of his name appears to have the Pavlovian effect of forcing everyone to immediately thrust their heads up their ass.

The policies and election promises can be debated, however, and a lot of the things Trump happens to be behind would be dumb AF no matter who proposed them.

The Policies Trump promised - AND DELIVERED last time around are what America wants, that's why we reelected him. The promise of democrats to destroy the middle class using the Green Raw Deal while importing an never ending stream of third world peasants to alter the cultural expectations of America for a prosperous and vibrant middle that encompases most people ends now.

In this case, aka the thread topic, anyone with basic common sense and even a tiny bit of understanding of economics could have forseen the need to walk back these promises. That they didn't when it came time to vote speaks to a phenomenon that goes beyond the realm of basic politics, and would appear to imply a much greater, self destructive dysfunction in America.

Fun fact - Trump kept more campaign promises in his single term than Obama did in all three terms in just a matter of number, forget percentage.

Donald Trump kept more promises than any president since promises started being tracked.

I get that you want Trump and America to fail, but the track record for Trump shows the opposite. Will China and their democrat vassals unleash another biological attack to thwart Trump? Will Biden succeed in starting WWIII (looks like he will not) ?

 

[AZRWinger]

Honestly, i think it's being driven by disbelief at how far America has fallen, and the misplaced hope that it can be righted. The notion that perhaps if enough light is put on the uniquely suicidal nature of voting for Trump, maybe Americans will return to their senses and minimize the consequences of their lapse in judgement.

There it is, the wholesale condemnation of the the majority of voters as mentally ill, suicidal. Classic Soviet propaganda which not only foreclosures discussion but rationalizes burning down the Republic to save it.

Me, personally, I'm not sure there's much point. Something has broken, friends are suddenly strangers, rooting for each other's demise. Truth is no longer relevant or valued. Decency is seen as a weakness.

Agreed, something has broken as you root for the demise of the political opposition.

There doesn't appear to be much point in talking at all.

hunter being pardoned doesn't affect anyone.
prices of groceries do.

no one voted for harris because biden said he wouldn't parden hunter.
but people did vote for trump because of his promises about lowering prices.
totally stupid comparison. lol
