POLITICAL THREAD

[WTF Cat]

Evidently, per Twitter, liberal women are now "punishing" men by abstaining from sex, due to the election. Also, per Twitter, there is now a movement for conservative women to start having more babies.

Trump has even taken office yet, and somehow:

1. He's reducing abortions
2. He's convinced the useless Dem women to have less children and the hot Repub women to have more sex and babies.

This guy is unbelievable.

Bookmark this for a few months from now so we can compare the current economy to the new "magic price drop" Trump economy. Can't wait.
The median price for a home in Ky is around $263,000 as of 2024.
As of November 2024, the average price per gallon of gas in Ky is around $2.77.
As of October 2024, the average rent in the US was $1,631.
The average cost of a dozen eggs in the U.S. is $3.
Milk is running around 2.79 to 3 bucks a gallon at Kroger in Ky.
In October 2024, the unemployment rate in the United States was 4.1 percent.
As of October 30, 2024, the US GDP was $29,349.924 billion. This is a 4.94% increase from the previous year, when the GDP was $27.97 trillion.
The total number of vehicles sold in the United States in October 2024 was 16.25 million, which is a 3.09% increase from the previous month.

As of September 2024, the inflation rate in the United States was 2.4%
In 2023, the median household income in the United States was $80,610, which is a 4% increase from 2022.

Good call. I’m doing the same as well. When Taco Bell is still priced the same and we don’t get those pre-COVID prices again, I’m going to complain. When the price of things go up due to tariffs it’ll be interesting to see who they blame. Or will they be happy to pay the high prices to “own the libs”? Or do they really believe China will pay for it? Lol.

That's just what accidentally leaked out.

True but it also may not be representing a FEMA top down directive as much as a response to conditions there "in the field" and aggressive responses they had been getting from MAGA home owners.

Kroger doesn't have enough margin in almost all their products to price gouge. Also, during inflation it is immoral to NOT raise your prices if you can possibly do so and still sell your product or service.

Do you have a job?

https://www.newsweek.com/kroger-executive-admits-company-gouged-prices-above-inflation-1945742

So I guess you just don’t take Kroger at their word? Add in that groceries like Kroger practically have a monopoly at this point and it’s bad for all us customers.

Do you have a job?

There's some .308 Garands out there is why I asked. Regardless, I'd kill for one of those.

I sort of thought you might have meant that, but I figured just in case. I have an AR calibered at 6.8SPC. I used to have an SA-58 .308 and I really liked it but it was heavy.

From your own article:
A Kroger spokesperson previously told Bloomberg that Groff's comment was "cherry-picked" and "does not reflect Kroger's decades long business model to lower prices for customers by reducing its margins."

Isn't Antifa a far left leaning organization? Are you saying they were for Trump?
Why would a far left organization want to hold up or stop the certification of the left leaning President that won the election? That makes ZERO sense.

It was a setup, dumbass. The goal was to arrest Trump supporters and send a message.

Edit: You know what, forget it. You've been told and you're too stupid or too Soros or too both to understand. Not worth my time anymore.

SCIENCE DUDE.

When was Reagan president again?

 

[DrH. Lecter]

But he is an "african-american", shouldn't that check some box??

Yes but he is a beneficiary of apartheid.

 

[AshWilliams]

Kroger CEO has already admitted to price gouging. The big companies that make basic groceries and household items (cereal etc) have admitted as much as well. I know that’s news to you in your bubble because dear leader didn’t tell you that.

It wasn't the Kroger CEO. More lies from lefties.

Yes, I do. And I am actively trying to raise prices to the absolute highest point the market will bear.

The mere concept of "price gouging" is anathema to me.

Facts. Can't wait to see Trump drop all these prices and get the economy rolling again. Here's the terrible facts.... Bookmark this for a few months from now so we can see Trump's economic magic.

Good suggestion. I'll watch it too. Let's find out what happens. The only thing you forgot to add is wages. The median wage is $56,473 a year.

I know everyone here will agree with me but it’s absolutely fvcking ridiculous that it’s taking this long for Arizona (and Nevada too) to complete the vote count. The slow count in and of itself undermines confidence in both the process and the actual outcome.

To be fair...we are talking about a couple of the Old West states. Arizona does have Old Tucson.
Don't fear, the ballots are on the way

He'll claim to be democrat socialist, not communist. He won't claim it beause he's intellectually dishonest.

He should have immediately called them out for trying to censor him.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

The house is now 216 to 208. Republicans are favored in at least four of those remaining 11 seats.

Considering the election, these results are not in line with the remainder of the election. The Republicans need to figure out how to do better in the midterms because they do not want Pelosi and Jeffries putting Trump on trial again. What a waste of resources and time.

The house should have been at least at 230.

 

[AshWilliams]

Ali was formerly at CNN, one of the countless great things about Trump's return will be libs making up these fake scenarios and conversations they supposedly had with their kids. There were thousands of these on twitter Trump's first term. Eric Swalwell was notorious for it.

Although one of my favorite Swalwell made up stories wasn't about talking to his child, Swalwell said he was in the airport and a guy came up to him and shook his hand and said something like 'I'm a Republican, but somethings are above party...keep fighting for democracy.' Eric thought that was genius and hit send.

This isn't fake. I teach middle school, and I've had more than one 11 year old ask me if children are going to be taken from their parents, or all those people are going to be deported. I played a Blooket yesterday where they can make up their own names on the video board, and one of them chose " deport me." Of course I did not let that stand and made a point to remind them that they are all here legally and will not be deported. I did not censor the name though. Because I'm cool like that. But I did take the opportunity to correct their idiocy.

Kids are being brainwashed.

I hope the my pronoun movement dies a slow, painful death.

With that said, almost without exception, everyone that announced their pronouns was a young liberal female or a young, probably homosexual male.

They kept pressuring us at work to put our pronouns in our email. Probably over 70% refused.

Why does Trump get a pass because of covid? He allowed the shutdown to happen, he encouraged it, he bragged about it. He was the leader and he failed and crashed the economy. He also fast tracked the rna vaccines that you maga morons think are wiping out the population. Lots of presidents have had to deal with big problems, very few of them destroyed the economy in the process. He was a complete loser.

Why not?

 

[berniecarbo]

Yeah, that combat simulation field exercise was for 72 hours without sleep and then you go on a sleep/rest schedule while continuing to shoot and move so, being the chief of my section, I made sure that the soldiers got rest first in shifts. By the time it was my turn was 84 hours into the training. The army does not do that anymore for fear of soldiers getting hurt or shooting out (being so tired that we messed up the direction or elevation of fire landing out of the safety zone).

Yeah when at DaNang , we had guys supposed to be firing rockets at Charlie hit our own bomb dump. Luckily the shells hit in open spaces instead of a bunker.

Arizona senate race is down to 33k votes with 18.5% of the vote outstanding. I don't know if she can get there but Seth Keshel liked her chances today on the Sean Spicer show.

If you think Arizona is gonna let her win, I’ve got some oceanfront property out there to sell you. They are actively “finding” the votes.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

She is 70 years old. In her prime, for a SCt Justice, from an age perspective. Thomas will be pushing 80 at the end of Trump’s term. Alito will be in his late 70s.

Thomas and alito definitely need to retire during this first year. Don't pull an rbg.

He was the slay queen when it came to drag queen story hour. He also saw NO PROBLEMO with the pride parades and other public displays of lewd behavior in front of children. But he was the staunchest of staunch supports of DQSH.

Totally agree, but there are so many 'safely drawn' congressional districts on both sides it's become harder and harder to flip seats.

Oh, I know. Still fun quoting his garbage.

 

[trueblujr2]

If worst comes to worst, the Republicans have the Presidency, 53 Senate seats, and probably 220 House seats minimum. Sam will be bawling either way. Dion will be raging either way. It's all good either way.

The biggest thing that needs to happen is making sure much of what Trump wants to implement happens in year 1. Secure the mid term elections so he doesn’t become a lame duck after 2026. Avoid the Social issues like the plague. Don’t give the left any fodder. Let all these panicked morons on the left come down off their ledges and realize he isn’t taking anything away from them.

I'm glad they raised prices when they could and you being pissy about it is the height of being a weakling.

If I'm a shareholder and I hear otherwise, that CEO is getting fired ASAP.

Also, while I'm at it -- anyone who attends any "stakeholder" meeting is part of the problem.
