Trump's Second Term

Andy_Ross said:
Eggs again

Trump: "When we came in, the eggs were through the roof. They were 4 times higher than they've ever been. And my first question from you people -- 'What are you gonna do with eggs?' I said, 'What's the problem with eggs? That was caused by Biden or whoever was operating the autopen actually caused it I guess."

Eggs were $4.99 a dozen at the store today.

You are a stupid, lying, ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ moron.

Trump, not you.

There comes point where it's just insane, there are no degrees or levels, it's just insane. Trump crossed that rubicon a while back. The scariness comes from so many acting like this is fine and normal, maybe it's a difference of political opinion, but it's mostly fine. Everything is under control, and fine.

Nothing for you to worry about. Well, unless you're one of them, but you're not one of them, are you? No, you're a patriot. Pay no attention to the vampire behind the curtain. Pay no attention to the official statements that you know to be untrue. You are a patriot. You are free. No-one else in the world is as free as you.

Thank Trump for America. Thank Trump for saving us all.

You are safe, because you are one of us.
One of us.
One of us.
One of us.

Eggs are down quite a bit here. I just got a box of two dozen for $5.19.

However, gasoline has shot up to more than it has been for over a year.

I got 2 dozen a few weeks ago for $5.99, but that was a one day flash sale.

It's almost like whatever Trump says has no connection whatsoever with US commerce realities...

Most of the world has suspended parcel deliveries to the USA.

Postal services around the world suspend deliveries to US: how will it affect you?

Suspensions including from Australia and Europe come after Donald Trump removed a rule exempting parcels worth less than US$800 from his tariffs

I recently made a purchase from Board Game Bliss, an online board game retailer based in Canada. I ended up buying an additional item just because I was appalled by the fact that the shipping and import duties were going to be more than the cost of the item I was originally buying.

I'm surprised it wasn't the FBI, or the National Guard of Texas, or the Army, who detained him, not the Secret Service (and what are they doing in Lafayette Park anyway?). Didn't Trump say crime was rampant in DC? And that the above organisations had taken over the city to stamp it out? Yet here this guy commits a crime within shouting distance of the White House, and they aren't even in sight?

What a ◊◊◊◊-show.

To be clear: The only crime he committed, and the only crime he was charged with, was lighting a fire in a national park. Flag-burning is protected under the First Amendment.

I am always amazed at the number of people who fall for flag idolatry, without blinking at the contradiction with their professed religious strictures. ◊◊◊◊ doesn't smell any better wrapped in a flag.

I always like that old socialist curmudgeon Norman Thomas whose take was that if you want to protest the state of the country you shouldn't burn the flag, but wash it.
 
IN the meantime, in Iowa, a Democrat has won a state senate seat that breaks a GOP supermajority. The previous election had been won by the GOP by over ten point. The Democrat won by 5, making a 15 point swing.

The GOP is complaining the Democrats actually tried to win.

One of the past efforts to criminalize flag burning back in the 90s happened to coincide with a period when Spider-Man was more closely associating with the Avengers. At one point the writers had him jokingly ask Captain America if his costume would violate the legislation that was being proposed. Cap's response was that as long as you respect the ideas that the flag represents, it doesn't matter what happens to the piece of cloth.
WWCAD? has rarely steered me wrong in life.
