    Come on man. There is a lot of hypocrisy to point out and we can do that and discuss real issues as well. There is no engagement from the right on real issues. The Ukraine discussion is full of gaslighting. The Tariff discussion is full of misunderstanding on how they work. They DOGE discussion lacks nuance from the right.. any cuts are good, even random cuts of life saving employees. The discussion around our allies is full of just utter contempt for literally our brothers and sisters in democratically aligned nations. For God sakes when did Canada become the enemy of the most prosperous nation on Earth?

    I havent changed my nuanced views of real issues but the opportunity to point out hypocrisy and the ridiculousness of the right leaps out at every turn.

    As prices continue to rise under Trump thanks in large part to his tariffs the voters will give him and the Republicans a pass the same way they gave Biden a pass when his administration referred to the inflation of late 2021 and the first half of 2022 as "transitory".

    Trump tells America to "Shut up about egg prices", reposting a quote from a supporter who is apparently high on drugs. All blame for the egg prices is to be placed on Joe Biden, even though Trump promised to lower the prices on "Day One". Apparently, Trump laid an egg with that promise . . .

    Trump's Latest Repost On Truth Social, Called "Shut Up About Egg Prices," Is Going Viral, And It NEEDS To Be Hung At Grocery Stores Nationwide

    I've said this before but I honestly thought Charlie Kirk was like a joke comedian caricature of a Trump supporter for the longest time. I had no idea people took him seriously.

    is he factually incorrect?

    not sure what, if anything, Biden could have done about it though, other than have scientists focused on it.

    anecdotally, plenty of eggs on the shelves in Bonita Springs tonight. $6.5 for large dozen

    Treasury secretary says deal with it. we have to screw up the economy to pay for the tax cuts for the billionaires Treasury Secretary delivers startling message on U.S. economy. private sector needs to suck up all those employees and replace those billions in spending and the economy will him again..trust us..lol

    Treasury Secretary delivers startling message on U.S. economy

    “Could we be seeing that this economy that we inherited starting to roll a bit? Sure," said Scott Bessent in a CNBC interview. "And look, there’s going to be a natural adjustment as we move away from public spending to private spending."

    Bessent believes this 'adjustment' is necessary following years of overspending that have made America addicted to friendly fiscal policy.

    "The market and the economy have just become hooked. We’ve become addicted to this government spending, and there’s going to be a detox period,” added Bessent.

    Nothing Biden could have done, but I was just speaking in a broader sense of Charlie Kirk.
