The people arguing for destroying the filibuster are retarded. The pendulum always swings back and I don't want to give future Democrat majority congresses the power to pass whatever stupid shit they think of with a simple majority.

you're such a graceful loser, you fucking retard. the democrats will happily use the nuclear option if it means getting what they want. people like you should be drawn and quartered at this point, you're preventing us from achieving greatness with your absolute fucking retardation.

they've also already done it under dem majority leader harry reid when the republicans tried to stop obama nominations. they're not afraid to do this when they want something done, and you shouldn't be either, if you want to stop the tranny bootheel coming ever closer to your neck, faggot.
 
Trump's messaging on grocery prices has been absolutely abysmal. I don't know if it's ego or bad information from staff or what, but just saying, "Prices are going down everywhere!" is the same failed Bidenomics strategy that nobody bought.
He's a business man and TV personality first and foremost. He understands what's on the paper in from of him and it reads that prices should be going down. The laws of economics are straight forward, if supply rises and demand decreases then prices go down. Add in second and third order effects like deregulation and getting inflation to a reasonable amount; by all accounts prices should be going down. But they're not, at least not consistently.

Things like eggs that were mostly impacted by the bird culling have majorly gone down as the culling ended and new hens are producing eggs. But the outliers like beef, deli meat, frozen foods and rtd drinks are still rising. That's because of micro economic issues. Things like price fixing, work force issues and logistics(gas prices haven't stabilized). Most of Trump's work has been at the macro economic level, it's not going to address any of these. These take the most time and effort to address as they need to be tackled individually and cannot be broadly fixed by a single pen stroke, and in the past solved themselves without government intervention. All the government can really do is suggest these businesses not be assholes, and maybe fine then some insignificant amount.

I'm not going to cut Trump any slack here, if you take credit for something when it's successful then you own the failures too regardless if it's actually your fault. But we're getting to a point where we're asking the government to intervene so invasively into the economy to fix something that isn't in its wheel house. If the government cannot compell people to not hire illegals for cheap labor, not price fix, and not push the costs of all of that onto the consumer then what's the play? Do we push for fines so high they can crash a major beef producer, or do we just say fuck it and nationalize any business that is found out of compliance and control costs at the federal level. I'm really curious what other economically minded people think about this because it's actually a pretty big problem.
 
All these people trying to lecture me about economics: i don't fucking care. This collective bullshit is is just that, bullshit. I care about me and my family. I truly don't care if someone in oklahoma gets stuff cheaper than me. We can't wait because when republicans lose and he gets impeached all his EOs will get torn out and it all for nothing anyways. Because republicans havn't done anything to put them into law. So the senile old man needs to stop taking ropes from jews and actually help americans. I am not taking about lower prices for a drug not just a few months ago RFK called poison. Also a single arrest would be nice but instead he has the full force of the DOJ working to get his lawsuits fixed.

The don't need that as there are only 9 MAGA senators. Republicans will pass everything the dems want. As seen from the california redistricting. All the gop states are now not doing it but they gave a free pass for the dem states to do it. So the net effective is dem gains and gop losses.
 
Fox Poll: 70% of Americans say groceries cost more than a year ago and nearly 60% blame Trump for it.The sentiment shows how quickly voters are linking the new administration’s trade and tariff policies to rising prices at the checkout line.

I'm all for using the nuclear option if it offers results.Fuck you could remove the filibuster, do good, then put it back.

But i have a feeling these retards would bungle it up so not so sure about that
 
Greene is an idiot who got rich off of foreign slave labor but she's objectively correct here. Pelosi and the democrats did and do what their voters want as awful and destructive as it is, meanwhile the GOP actively fights against doing the will of their voters tooth and nail.

it's an inditement of the republicans not a praise to Pelosi.

Old simpsons was based but its crazy we are beginning to watch a "party flip" in real time. The labels in this joke make alot more sense if you flip the partys but hey when this joke was made we were in the process of invading 3 middle eastern countries over some vague "pseudo crusade" all lead by the most popular president of all time (on paper) so I imagine the minority party was feeling some kind of way about the leadership.

So dumb that George W Bush gets to go down as the president with the highest approval numbers of any president. that surge is as phony as building 7s collapse
 
Not sure if anyone else here has ever volunteered their time at a food bank or not, but it's extremely depressing. I did it once and swore off of """charity""" ever since.

The majority of it is junk food. A lot of times you separate out canned vegetables, fruit and other staples like plain rice because the "hungry" people won't take those. The only other stuff you really separate is single mother stuff, formula, diapers and the like. The majority of the people getting the food are overweight/obese and really don't need the food. They could probably survive for a month without eating honestly. A minority (like 10-20%) grab the healthy stuff.

Most of the others that were "volunteering" with me were also fat and they could take their pick of what was left over. They also ordered pizza. I think there was like 30ish people there with me. For 30 people they ordered 10 extra large pizzas + soda + sides like chicken wings, garlic bread, etc.

I hate fat people so much. I miss r/fatpeoplehate

They’re not doing it because they can’t. The Southern states are literally barred from redistricting in a fair manner.

They literally voted on this around 2 years ago. 49 yes. 2 no. The 2 no's got purged for voting no. Why do you think they wont?

I don't know where you live but for me I stopped when it went from the bums and poors that everybody knew to obvious illegal aliens (mexican, no habla ingles) and their little goblinos showing up and clearing everything out. Also all the Goodwill bins would get raided and the parking lot would be littered of clothes they didn't want to take.
 
Última edición:
the prices of milk, eggs, flour, pork, chicken, and vegetables have gone down since trump took office. the price of beef, tv dinners, sugar, and fruit have gone up. which do you think are more important anchors for people's concept of price?
Man it would be really awkward if the government kept the average price data for some of those things. And something like milk looked like:

Or flour like:

That would be really unfortunate.

Young people these days have zero patience. Let me remind you, and the other idiots who want it all now now now of something:

The most important thing to remember: don't get cocky. Trump is on top of the world now but MAGA is not yet completely forged into an unshakable edifice. It's a long time until 2028 and anything could happen between now and then.

If the filibuster gets zapped and the GOP loses the midterms what do you think happens then?

Yeah.....but we already know the second the Dems get in power they are going to kill the filibuster (they nearly succeeded less then 5 years ago).

So we need to deal with the reality we have now where it shank first or get shanked later.

What is this supposed to measure, though? is this supposed to invalidate my own record of how much things cost when i buy them? four dollars for a gallon of milk is a bit steep anyways, you can get it for like $2.80 at aldi. of course, wal-mart charges 5.40.

So what are they taking the average from, exactly?

Instead the present Democratic minority should be able to pass whatever they want by shutting down the government.

Trump going crazy with the vetoes.
Trump wants to go ham now to pass MAGA laws instead of ruling via Executive Order, cucking things like the BBB, or the government getting held hostage like right now.
 
I've been saying more or less the same thing, not about Pelosi specifically, but the Dems have a talent for circling the wagons and uniting while Republicans attack each other with purity tests and dumb shit. It would be great if the GOP was able to really unify behind somebody in Congress.
The Dems have one unifying message. White people bad. Even teaching children about sodomy has the muslim faction against it. And that faction is rapidly gaining power.

The Rs are controlled by Jewish donors who also believe white people bad. But that Muslim people worse.

They freaked out because the Dems have significant elements who hate jews but the same jew tactics that worked when Dem leadership was mostly white dont really work and their "fellow whites" act backfired when it came to memetic weapons they unleashed against white people.

Now that Trump is prioritizing Jew cleanup they will happily backstab and withdraw support they gave to Trump in 24. Watch Jews like Ackham fail to support Rs or openly support a Dem who is Jew positive.
