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?
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…
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.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
It was suppose to be a cautionary tale, not a fucking guide book.
The frustrating thing here is that it was possible to know that the President doesn’t really have a lot of power over the price of things before the election, and not vote based on something that Trump can’t fix. “All Presidents must answer for the price of $ITEM” is a terrible way to vote.
The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault
To be fair - that is true. It’s not like he infected all the birds.
However, if you’re the president that just slapped a bunch of tariffs on neighboring countries … optics looking kinda bad ngl.
Eggs are 4x regular price. Chicken (meat) has barely moved. There’s no lack of stock, on a perishable product and the prices are incredibly high.
Greed made that price.
He did fire a bunch of the people in public health who were trying to make policies to prevent the birds being infected.
Just like how we have routine food recalls because he shuttered lots of food regulation during his first term. Wonder how much Boar’s Head has donated to the Republican Party….
This is also going to start some knees to jerking, but he’s also technically correct that inflation specifically hasn’t been that bad, if you actually look at inflation rates it’s not particularly worse than what we’ve had in other decades, the 90’s which we associate with a bountiful economy had higher inflation rates for a longer period of time.
What’s making all of this untenable is companies doing everything they can to avoid paying livable wages and most of all price gouging. Which they’re doing with eggs for good reason, but we also have to understand that anything that uses poultry is also going to take a hit, and then, like magic, a variety of other companies and services use these specific gouges as a justification to raise their own prices beyond inflation levels, even if they sell things that have never touched a chicken, like fucking mortgages and medical care.
We used to have bureaus and departments to keep this kind of thing in check. You can argue their effectiveness but at least we had them.
I’m actually smart enough to understand this. But they blamed Biden for shit that he had no control over so I’m going to be spiteful and blame everything bad on Trump.
This blame game goes two ways Republicans. See you at the midterms.
“Gas is too high! Why doesn’t the President just pull the lever to make them not high?!”
Biden releases strategic reserves to lower prices.
“Ye-- Ye-- Well, the price of eggs is too fucking high. Pull that lever! I dare you!”
Hm, we don’t have a strategic egg supply to make simple people happy. This will be a challenge…
Trump claims he’ll lower it by getting elected. How? Who the fuck knows and no one cares.
“Why aren’t the prices lower yet?!”
Well, gosh, it couldn’t have to do with a complex system where there aren’t magic levers one just pulls to make things happen… Guess it’s Trump’s fault. What’s good for the goose (Biden) is good for the gander (Trump), after all.
Not entirely true, as H5N1 isnt working to do this on its own. He’s made nondocumented workes feel unsafe so it’s hard for them to work. Specifically in the low wage work one finds on a farm, especially if the work is in a red state. Look at Kentucky, for example.
Ah, ye that makes sense. Kinda forgot about that aswell. Thanks for pointing it out!
Biden is the worst it will be fixed as soon as I get in there… Gets in there: this isn’t my fault stop whining.
We need some trump did this stickers to match the biden ones.
Gladly, I would love to post those all over my stores.
He should be sieg-heiling instead of pointing. It’s amazing how many people out there don’t realize he’s a full on fucking nazi.
“The prices need to be this high!” /insert picture of sieg heil/
Petah says, “Unlike a carnival ride, ‘this high’ is literally over one’s head. As in, we’re in over our heads.”
I think the businesses should start putting them up. In the cases of things affected by his stupid tariffs, it will actually be true in this case.
I agree completely. But no one with a business seems to want their wrath.
I love the way Trump says it’s going to hurt a lot before it gets better.
Why?
What’s even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I’d love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs…
Yeah. I guess I always knew at some level, not that I gave it much thought in the past, that there was a chance fascism could take hold in America. But what surprises me is how friggin stupid they are. How can anyone listen to Trump talk for more than 5 minutes without their bullshit alarm going off.
Don’t pay any attention to egg prices. The economy is great actually.
Now where have I heard that in the past few months?
The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy. They are of course blaming the downturn which is thanks to little d’s games with tariffs, on Biden.
Of course they also act like it was Biden out there strangling millions of chickens himself to mess with the egg supply.
Why the hell did you have to put that image in my head?!?!
Nobody google biden-choking-chicken.jpg!
The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy.
However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining.
Sounds like centrists gaslighting people who couldn’t afford groceries and telling them that the economy was the most perfectest thing ever.
“You have served your purpose peons, now go away while my buddies dismantle your country”
“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.
MAGA supporter: “iT wAs NeVeR aBoUt tHe PriCe of EgGs. yOu’Re MiSsiNG tHe PoInT.”
They are the egg men.
“Hey, I need you all to calm down. I’m laying these as fast as I can.”
I mean, to be fair… stock prices are rapidly being driven down, so he was kinda right.
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.
I mean, price of eggs is way down …. Humor can’t match reality
This is funny af. Thanks.
We handed the country over to a dictator because of eggs. The least he could do to say thank you is lower their prices.
just goes to show you that he doesn’t give two shot about anyone but himself, and SOMETIMES his family…. 1/3rd of america voted for this, because they wanted to be able to discriminate again.
All we needed was that one shot…
