Way to take it way too seriously and respond with a wall of text just like the obvious sarcastic comment, weirdo. Do you not understand social cues or something?
Wall of text? You might want to get your eyes checked. Social cues come from body language, tone, etc, something that isn't present in a one sentence post. Maybe you should stop imagining something that isn't there because your one sentence responess don't come across as you think they do.

You mean fuck you Trump, as he was the reason the gas prices where so high after his 2020 OPEC deal to cut pruction by 10% for 2 years, which was over 9 million barrels a day up till mid 2022. Guess when oil prices started to come back down, which also conisides with when inflation hit it's peak? Are you ready for his next round of his stupidity that will cause gas prices to climb?

I tried telling someone I know that OPEC is more responsible for high gas prices (which affects almost all commodities) than the POTUS. Nope. They weren't having that shit. Obviously Biden is the cause of all things bad. Trump will somehow magically wish low prices into existence.

President Trump is going to make gas cost $1.50 a gallon again so it's not so expensive to fill up my $70K 15mpg V8 truck that I use to commute to my office job. Thank you in advance Mr. Trump.

My fellow Americans are so fucking stupid. Buying ridiculously expensive vehicles and crying about those costs, then also ensuring they purchase the inefficient ones to later cry when gas prices inevitably go up. Trade-offs just don't exist apparently.

Any future Dem approach to winning an election must take into account the indisputable fact that like half the electorate simply has shit for brains at best and could not find their own ass with both hands, a map, a flashlight, and a dog.

well this is gonna suck...combined with the deportation of workers on farms, food is gonna get mighty expensive...like i said earlier we better be seeing a lot of 'The GOP did that stickers'

Gonna have to release some of the Federal government's Guacamole and Ketchup strategic reserve to deal with the coming shortages/price increase (the US has strategic reserves of condiments, presumably?)

I wonder how even a poorly educated MAGA could look at that food import poster and not understand how fucked we're gonna be. I would love for everything I buy to be American made/grown. That's not realistic though. I also would love it not cost me $20 to buy shit to make a salad.

They'll think we can auto-magically grow more food. On the farms that no one wants to work on. Using cheap immigrant labor that we've deported.

I'm guessing the Trump-Tariffs coming will be targeted not blanket. Targeted to impress the voting public and not very noticeably increase the size of their expenditures.

And remember, corporate America fears Trump. What people say, the media included, will not objectively reflect what's going on. We see that already even though Biden's still president.


No large American corporation wants to be actively litigating against a sitting president, especially one as vindictive as Trump. A $15 million settlement is chickenfeed compared to the myriad ways Trump could penalize Disney, a $205.25 billion corporation.

We are beginning to see this all over the American political-economic system — giant corporations and hugely wealthy people going out of their way to appease King Trump even in advance of his coronation. They are paying him off to maintain or enlarge their profits.

Which is why Disney’s control over ABC — like Jeff Bezos’s control over The Washington Post, Elon Musk’s control over what we used to call Twitter, and Patrick Soon-Shiong’s control over the Los Angeles Times — and every other wealthy individual’s or big corporation’s control over the news we get, poses such a challenge to American democracy in the age of Trump.

If sitting presidents can’t be sued as it would interfere with their duties, it seems to me that any suits they initiate should likewise be suspended for their terms of office.
That guy's something else. He's always got 1/2 dozen court cases going on. He must have a stable of 25 lawyers working for him.

So hear me out…

Trump sued ABC and they paid out


So the employer was sued

If we cannot sue the president why cannot we sue the employer… the government

The same government that helped Trump not get fully impeached, and stay out of prison after he was no longer president? He wasn't even president and they were bending rules and bending over backwards for him. Even if we could sue them, I don't think we'd get anywhere. Trump has proven even as a citizen he's pretty much untouchable. Now he'll be president again that will only increase.

Americans don't give a shit about veggies and fruit, they'll gladly pay for fake versions or just remove them from their diets altogether. Anyone that actually does give a shit has or can learn to grow their own. Its not too difficult to grow your own these days, between all the grow equipment developed for marijuana. And for the rich they'll just keep paying for Whole Foods markups.

Hell, I'm surprised there hasn't already been a push for that seeing as how many food recalls are because of veggies, especially the human shit fertilized lettuce and other produce from Mexico.

Oh look, Dow closed lower 10 days in a row. This hasn't happened since 1974. Probably better to rollover and let Trump do what he wants to do. Time to invest in funny money, those Crypto dollars are going to go a long way. /s
