I understand that is what you believe and how you see the world. We are going to disagree.

Read the damn indictment posted above and tell me with a straight face that you feel that Donald Trump and those that he hires to work for him and advise him, is a safe choice to be the next President. Both Russia and China have been working through his underlings to influence American policy. If you do not understand that, then you're an idiot. If you do understand that and you choose to support him anyways then you're a traitor to this country. If you're just here to argue because you find it fun to be asshole, which is my suspicion, then you're just wasting everyone's time.

Trump was very focal about his america firat policies. And biden????

What does that have to do with the discussion at hand? If he is so "America First" then why are so many of his advisors and staff working under the table with Russian and Chinese operatives?

Don't you get it? He SAYS America First. So many times!

This case is closed.

[JKLivin]

with every iteration of your persona, eventually everyone (save for maybe randy) grows tired of your schtick

just when it looks like some reasonableness might have penetrated that skull, back roars the vileness

If you are going to define "reasonable" as "agrees with Trad across the board," then, yes, I am doomed to be vile.

Trump says a thousand things a day that are either baseless lies or things he doesn't back up in his own actions. But they don't care.

Gaslighting is a Trumpian specialty. Rinse repeat. FAKE NEWS. FAUX RUSSIA. The truth is always already well-known and the opposite of his contentions.

Because what matters is the anger, and the feeling that it is shared.

There's absolutely blame on both sides for why that anger exists (and exists so deeply) in the first place. But that's where we're at: people want to feel heard, and Trump gives them that. Without regard for whether he actually feels the same way, and without regard for whether "his" (his enablers') policies are actually directed at solving the people's problems.

Exactly!

Oik.

Thanks President Biden, inflation continues to slow:

Thanks President Biden, inflation continues to slow:

I wonder if thats because food and energy costs are so fucking high that nobody can afford to buy anything else


seriously. they need a new measuring stick.

[Sparko]

Inflation in energy and food prices is important. In World War II, both were rationed. In the current European war, we are seeing huge impacts on prices. But so far we are not sacrificing too much. As Ukraine wins, the situation will reverse.

Who knew that Tdub wants it all, wants it now, and wants it delivered?

"...food and energy...", you say?

Energy prices rose by 0.6% this month, but are 16.7% lower than a year ago.

Inflation for food served at home continued to moderate as prices remained unchanged from May. Annual inflation fell from 5.8% to 4.7%.

Out-of-home food prices, which tend to be more impacted by labor costs, rose 0.4% month on month and 7.7% from a year ago.

The CPI report showed that used car prices fell 0.5% on a monthly basis and 5.2% from a year ago. Prices for new vehicles were flat, but they are still 4.1% higher than a year ago...


From Seeking Alpha:

Airline fares in the U.S. fell 18.9% in June compared to a year ago on an unadjusted basis. Overall, core inflation cooled to a 4.8% year-over-year pace during the month.

On a month-to-month comparison, air fares fell 8.1% in June after declining 3.0% in May, retreating 2.6% in April, and dropping 6.5% in March, according to data compiled by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Analysts said the downward trend in fares is due largely to lower fuel prices and a healthier overall cost basis for carriers. Indications have been that booking demand remains strong, particularly with the corporate and international channels still recovering from the pandemic slowdown...

A quick search of the origins of the phrase “America First” will explain why Trump and Trumpistas use it to describe themselves and their ideology.

It’s not good.

Where do you live? I paid $3.09 a gallon last week. But yes on groceries. It is crazy how much more it costs for groceries over the last few years. Feels like some companies are just taking advantage of the current situation and really gouging people for no actual necessary reason.

And come on, Feral, close those italics tags.
