POLITICAL THREAD

Imagine thinking 9 bucks is some kind of bargain for a ****ing McMuffin.

Remember when hamburgers were a nickle?? I miss that too.
Love all the socialists/commies on here that want Joe Biden's government to seize control over McDonald's and Kroger's pricing.
Funny how capitalism and supply/demand work.
If people can't or won't pay 9 bucks for a McMuffin meal....the price will drop.
If people are paying it....then the price will remain or increase.
Blaming the President for the price of a breakfast sandwich is asinine and shows how little you comprehend or appreciate our capitalist economy in America.
Want price controls?? Move to Russia, North Korea or China.

Justifying high inflation caused by the policies you voted for, just shows how big an idiot sambowie actually is.

Sam, I get your point. However, what concerns me I how fast our prices are increasing.

Couldn't have scripted a better representation of Chicago, thugs think they are tough when they outnumber someone 5-1...on the sidewalk in broad daylight and in front of a for lease sign. Can't wait for that Chicago Dem Convention.

Also, they don't want to prosecute if illegal weapons are found in the car...they want your gun though.

See? In spite of the conservative clamoring about rampant crime in blue cities, crime is WAY down in those areas.*

*(well, not the actual CRIMES per se, but documentation, formal charges, and prosecutions are WAY down. Because it doesn't exist, if it isn't documented. Much like the unfettered hordes pouring through our southern border. Yes indeed. Biden has a steady hand on the helm, and has righted the ship.)

 

[exemjr]

Shoulda said so instead of acting like Egg McMuffins are 17 bucks now around here. That all makes sense. Prices in California are always higher than they are here. Always have been.
That's not inflation.... that's life in Cali.

@BlueRunner11 never once acted like that was the cost around here. You may have read it that way, but that's on you, not him.

I don't think that you actually understand a free market economy.

In fact, I'm POSITIVE you don't, if that is what you think conservatives want. LOL


It's frustrating, because I actually like you, and think you're probably an intelligent and interesting person, other than politics. You've just got some funny ideas in your head. To be fair, working in education gets almost everyone in the end.

Dion, on the other hand, is clearly a sociopath. LOL

NIghtwish is a GYERO wannabe

vhcat is torn. He's a liberal, but he's conflicted. He hasn't come to terms with it yet. He's the confused teenager, sitting in his room, listening to The Smiths...

 

[sambowieshin]

Don't get me wrong....I think the prices at fast food restaurants, grocery stores etc. are ridiculous.
I just don't connect those to the President so much as corporate greed.
They are charging the max amount and raking in record profits.
The price gouging pisses me off but I would rather live in a free market economy than under communism.
If enough people can't afford to buy the products, prices will fall.
The economy is in good shape or the prices would reflect that.
Everyone that is wanting lower prices is not gonna like the layoffs, stock plunges and recession that comes with it.

McDonald's isn't raking it in. They're having a tough go of it right now.

I think most of us would get along just fine watching the Cats and eating some wings over a cold brew.
I have some VERY conservative friends and family members that I hang with regularly.
We typically agree on about 90 percent of things. I just tend to be more liberal on issues related to gay/trans personal decisions that don't impact others at all.
We even agree that trans athletes should not be competing against bio females. Taking hormones doesn't make you go from 6'5 to 5'6 as a swimmer.
I don't have any election denier family/friends....they just can't stand Biden and see him as the greater of 2 evils.
We have had some heated abortion debates (shocker from me huh?) but even they think the current law in Ky goes too far. They would be happy with a total ban with exceptions. I prefer 12 weeks.
There is really not that many things we can't find some middle ground on....like most Americans.

Out of all the terrible shit the Biden admin has done, trading the merchant of death for someone because she is a black lesbian and got caught smuggling drugs, then ignoring the fact Americans are (assuming they all haven’t been tortured to death already) being held hostage by Hamas to try and get the radical antisemite terrorist vote, truly is near the bottom.

Look, I lean left....but NOT Cali left. I'm much more of a Blue Dog Democrat.
Cali Dems are waaaay too soft on crime and creating BS taxes on anything they can think in order to pay for stupid programs that don't work.
But I'm also not a fan of the MTG style election denier Pubs that waste every minute of their day on laws that go after individual bodily autonomy and culture war issues that shouldn't be legislated.
Perfect example....

You gotta know your crowd and not take it personally. I have some awesome right wing buddies. We actually enjoy the alcohol induced political shouting matches but it's always at my single buddy's house where there are no women and children present. 🤣
We all view it thru the lens of how our nation was born....via heated debate. The US Constitution was not born out of group think....thank God.

Are you still going on about this? You do realize inflation happens in CA as well, correct? My post was not a comparison of CA vs KY McDs prices.

Everyone knows prices across the board have skyrocketed everywhere the last few years. How is this even debatable??

You can't make this stuff up.

Interesting that they don't give the numbers (maybe I didn't read far enough) but release the information to the public. It's almost as if the agencies in the govt want the public to be fearful and think the agencies aren't part of setting this all up when it all does finally go down. They know they're entering and do nothing. They know how many and where they've gone. They gave them phones and money, and likely that payday is ongoing.

So why tell anyone for any other reason?

I was all on board the Trump train after he beat Hillary.
I thought most of his divisive crazy talk was just an act to get elected. He had a history of being a Dem so I thought he would be a pro business, moderate Republican.
Unfortunately for many Americans he went after the far, far right fringe instead of the moderate middle.
He just says too many crazy things and plays to the tin foil hat crowd too much for me to ever get on board again.
Jan 6th was it for me. Whether or not he is to blame for what went down that day will never change the fact he watched it and took no action for hours.
We can debate everything else about that day, but that fact remains fixed in history.
He failed his job that day.
Biden has failed his job on the border.

Wish I had someone that wasn't pushing 80, pushing past 80 or didn't have worm holes in their brain (Kennedy) to chose from.

This post is a perfect example of how far left things have shifted, and how far left these “moderates” are.

Trump was pretty much a pro business moderate until Covid when he took a hard left turn.

It’s almost like the DNC replaced the employee running sambowieshin’s account and he’s completely unaware of all the lunacy that’s been posted over the years by the account.

Pretending January 6 is what sent the TDS over the edge lol.

So it's not about Hamas, your solution is kill all the Palestinians. Genocide. And you wonder why there are protestors.

Some folks just can't keep their mouths shut.

No doubt I wasn't a fan of his Un Presidential behavior prior to Jan 6th. But as bad as Biden is I would have considered voting for Trump now if not for Jan 6th. That inaction and non response disqualified him from ever holding the office again in my opinion.
As the Chief Executive....his job is to carry out the laws of the land.....not trash them.
He chose personal political grievance over the Constitution that day as well as asking Pence to disregard the Constitution on a procedural process this country has carried off without a hitch for our entire history.
Those actions/inactions go way beyond traditional policy disputes like the border...(which Biden is too dense to see is an issue he could seize on in a heart beat even though I would prefer a law over EOs)

This is really odd. This same account, for weeks, was blaming republicans and Trump for the border, saying Biden didn’t have authority to act.

Now its acknowledging Biden is to blame.

It’s very strange. He sounds semi reasonable today (though still suffering from severe TDS), but everything he’s saying contradicts years of posting history.

They don't meet the Safe Harbor standard laid out in the Electoral Count Act to prevent exactly this type of coup attempt after it was done by the South in 1876. There are all sorts of rules, like being approved by the Governor of that state, governing electors. What you mean "other than forging documents?" All electors are are holders of official documents.
