He ain’t cutting the cost of items in your shopping basket, that’s for sure.

“So many town hall meetings are turning into anti-Trump shouting matches that Republican Party officials are telling their lawmakers to just stop holding them”
The ‘free speech is back’ party.

Republicans are cowardly fascist-apologists and deserve to get more than just "an earful".

They deserve everything they are getting. These fascists in the White House don't operate without the support of the spineless on Capitol Hill.

Make America Cranky Again

Republicans angry that they were duped and Democrats angry because their politicians aren't doing enough. If anything, I guess Trump has united the country (except for the ultra-rich), against him. Trump has made America feel one feeling; anger and hatred. MAGA should read as "Make America Grouchy Again". Maybe they could have Oscar the Grouch as its spokesperson.

The spineless cowards in the Re[ub party getting what they deserve - anger, scorn, and ridicule...
They sell out our democracy and spit on the Constitution with their support for Donald the Demented Dictator...

While Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing a great job, they are too old and too young to be a real opposition.
The Democrats can't seem to put forward a figure that is a real obvious figure who is an alternative to Trump. They need to get their act together.
But I hope that one day AOC is president - perhaps in 20 years.

They control the White House, the Senate and the Congress, so it’s too late to cry and make demands of the Dems. Not enough people voted for Harris and many Dems betrayed her and voted for Trump instead. Now you have to wait until the midterms to make your voices heard. Slow Joe and his competent cabinet were far better than crazy Trump and his goofy cabinet.
Elections have consequences.

They will be okay. It will be bumpy for a while. This is true, but you need to remove the infection from the wound if you want it to heal. The Democrats allowed the wound to fester for way too long.

Your second article has the stats for 2024 Bass. It does however predict that food prices will further increase this year due to tariffs and immigration crackdowns.
Thanks for the link.

And we're surprised MAGA voters are outraged and angry?
They voted for lower inflation, a higher stock market for their retirement investments, saving Social Security and Medicare...and wait for it - sparing us from those awful "hoax" EVs...and what did they get?
Massively higher inflation with more to come as Trump's tariffs raise the price of everything...
A tanking stock market that sees the Trump economic apocalypse coming...
A Trump budget that "zeros out" Social Security and Medicare...
And a President that buys an EV from his uber-rich buddy - which he said were all "scams and hoaxes" just a few months ago...
Add in the flip on their core value of "life begins at conception" and they have every right to be angry and feel betrayed....

Republicans are cowardly fascist-apologists and deserve to get more than just "an earful". These fascists in the White House
Republicans are not cowardly fascists and US is not a fascist dictatorship.
Some posters need to take a deep breath, relax a little instead of resorting to non -stop nasty personal attacks.

this man was identified as a Democrat who ran for office and lost in 2022.
these people aren’t Republicans.

Sure, like Ray Epps...
After being lied to and played for suckers by Trump, they sure aren't anymore...
ROFL..

Close! Not Ray, but Jay- Jay Carey:

So?
Are you aware that publicly elected officials are representatives of all of their constituents?
Or do you believe "Republicans won the Presidential election, that means non-Republicans are inhuman and have no rights"?
bass4funk
For a short time, yes. We will get through this bump
Sure.

Keep telling yourself that, it will work wonders in the next elections (if there are any).

The GOP dinosaur faces electoral extinction like the Tories in the UK. as the American working class sobers up from their spiked orange Kool-aid.

Tell that to Democrats:

Brother liberals are not the enemy at the end of the day we're all American. Although you may look to designate your fellow citizens as enemies to placate your fears. It is exactly what the ruling elite wants, to divide us so they can enrich themselves. It happens in both parties and is the real issue we face, not these manufacred ones.

quote: laissez-faire conservative theory of governance
I suspect Trump can only spell one of those words.
One benefit of Trump's behaviour is that right wing parties in Europe are now treated with much more distrust and suspicion.
Blacklabel
the speech given every single time liberals find themselves out of power after losing an election cycle.
But thats not the story at all the second when they regain power.
Express sister
Not sure that:
1) You should be banned from government based in how you voted, or,
2) MAGA should be talking smack about being being tricked when Trump said "I will reduce the price of groceries" in the campaign, then as soon as he got elected said "lmao no I won't".
Blacklabel
but he has reduced the price of groceries.
Express sister
No, he hasn't, and is on record saying he can't.
