    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…

      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…

    “I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

    He backed away from that last month.

    This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.

        Nice! That would make a great cartoon!

        Krasnov pledges to bring prices down in panel 1. He has a bunch of MAGA voting for him in panel 2. In panel 3, he slaps tariffs on and off. In panel 4 we see him self-congratulatory while stonks go down brrrrrr.

    Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.

    Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.

      High egg prices are doubleplusgood.

      In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.

        I think you’re only allowed to do that if you’re an immigrant. If you’re an American, you’re legally obliged to uncritically consume absolute nonsense propaganda and be super racist towards said immigrants.

    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.

    Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.

      MYSELF

      I really could not stop laughing from earlier today (I think it was the Young Turks podcast I was listening to) when I heard them play some crazy bullshit from the State Media Television and someone was talking, in the context of little d destroying our economy with tariffs, about how this will be just more of “Biden’s economy” if things get painful due to what little d is doing to us.

      I mean, seriously. I guess Biden made little d play his tariff game? But I’m sure there are a non-zero amount of redcaps that watch that shit and nod their heads to it.

        Our education system is bad, but it’s not “don’t teach about the French revolution” bad. Hell my high school even made a point to point out that Antoinette was a teenager who likely didn’t actually say that

          If it was truly her that said it, she would have been even younger than that. The book in which it’s written (which is known to not be fully factual and in which the quote is attributed to “a great princess”) was written when Antoinette was 9 years old. But it wasn’t published until she was 26, eight years after she became queen.

          “If they have no bread, let them eat cake.” sounds like something I would expect a 6-7yo who had never gone without luxury food to say.

          Ah, but online high schools/credit recovery. The French Revolution is often covered in a fifteen minute video with four multiple choice questions and a short response (which is almost always turned in with an obviously AI generated answer, and marked with 100% because there’s no longer an expectation that a teacher be qualified to teach their subject - a high school diploma is enough in Oklahoma)

          I’d met with a high schooler over zoom (thirty minutes once a week was the requirement) - “hey, tell me what you thought about that American Civil War unit you just completed?” - and they wouldn’t be able to name the century the war happened, had no idea who Abraham Lincoln was, couldn’t name the Confederacy - hell, didn’t recognize that the American Civil War happened in the United States.

          My current role as a tutor (because most high schools would rather have an unqualified high school grad that a transsexual union member with a masters degree - and tbh, getting a school bomb threats on the off chance that LibsOfTikTok targets me is not a risk I feel I can expose others too) shocks me. You have long term subs that don’t understand the pre algebra concepts teaching Algebra 2 and Pre Calc. (Every time I hear the term “cross multiply” I cringe in preparation for the horror I’m about to see)

          But yes - education is 100% that bad in southern states.

            I can’t imagine anything she could’ve reasonably done in the environment she lived in that wouldn’t’ve been deeply offensive to the peasantry. Versailles was at its core a tool to insulate the nobility and separate them from reality. Her life and death were tragic, not because of some condemnation of the poor who killed her, but because they weren’t even wrong to do so and yet this teenager who was probably one of the least evil people at Versailles had to be the one to pay the price for the systems crafted by people like Louis XIV and Maria Theresa Hapsburg.

            The republic was necessary. The fall of bourbon was necessary. The people were right to be mad. But there is a tragedy in how some people are corrupted and broken by power they wouldn’t have asked for and have to pay the price for it
