Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Reddit is already fully onboard pushing this dumb fuck narrative, if you were doubting whether they were fully captured or not.

Oh, I totally believe there are plenty of qon bootlickers aching to try to change the subject after little d showed himself to be a complete failure on yet another of his stupid promises.

This Saturday there were no eggs at Costco again for the 3rd week on a row.

Goddamn this Biden economy! Poor little d was handed such a TERRIBLE economy.

Every Republican says so and they would never lie. So do the maximalist leftists and the enlightened centrists, so it must be true. I'm sure the economy would have been even worse under Kamala. Thank Athena that little d and fElon are working to fix the terrible economy that Biden left them...

Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk "We did that." stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things...

It's so incredible that everything was bidens fault day one of his presidency, but with Trump it's the fault of the previous administration, and no body brings up this double standard at all. What a double standard.

Also, we all know that Trump can't lower the price of eggs himself, just like biden couldn't lower gas prices by himself. The fact that Trump and his ilk RAN on lowering grocery prices, especially eggs, is why we're still talking about it and why a lot of Americans are upset. Now the right are calling us idiots and whiners for still talking about eggs while they are still going up, while the last 4 years nobody on that side could shut up about gas prices.

They put those 'biden did this' stickers on pumps until the final moments of his administration, I say we do the same to eggs.

When the Democrats said "What are you talking about? The economy is doing great!" the rightoids correctly called this shit out. Now that it's Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

The Democrats were not exactly wrong. But a lot of people twist it and act like they said it's perfect, and perfect for everyone, which they did not say.

We are about to find out how much worse it can actually get, and I guess the people that were saying "Bidenomics" was the worst thing ever and total tyranny, etc., are likely going to have to eat their words....

I don't often go to Fox News, but man under Fox Business and the stock market going down, people are actually upvoting very negative reactions to all of this. It was surprising to read. I thought somehow they were going to sugarcoat it, but they aren't, and in most cases upvotes are far outnumbering the downvotes.

Republicans are dipshits who will now happily buy a carton of eggs for $10 because it's "owning da libs".

Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

"How could Biden do this?"

Is the response I've seen so far.

Just saw the Keebler Elf Mike Johnson say almost exactly that a short time ago. I mean, really, WTAF.

Little d messes around with tariffs, the market reacts, and Mike Johnson the weird Keebler porn elf, is out there saying "we are seeing the effect of the last administration's horrible economy" or some such nonsense....as if we cannot all see with our fucking eyes, the games that little d is playing and the effect it is having. I'm horrified that people actually fall for such obvious bullshit, especially after such a great economy was handed off to little d.

People are falling for the lie because, the average Joe is being squeezed dry. The economy is only doing well for the already wealthy.

Of course, the current economy was the result of the Biden Administration attempting to fix Trump's first term. Along with the Trump administration's complete mismanagement of COVID-19.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was suppose to be a cautionary tale, not a fucking guide book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Well and Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, too.
