    Finding a way to blame Biden while Trump is president lol. What a uttery pathetic individual.

    Is it Bidens fault that Ukraine wasnt solved within 24 hours like Trump promised?

    Egg prices are up 18% last week alone.

    MAGATs can just admit that Trump lied cuz his base is too stupid to realize. You can just admit it

    Try to love your country. Stop wishing for it to fail. Get on board with your fellow Americans and help make a better tomorrow. The people have spoken. It’s your duty. Be a good patriot. You’ll feel better. You cannot possibly be a happy person when you’re so vile to people all the time. Happy people don't act like that.

    Is storming the capitol in an effort to overturn the nation's election "loving our country"?

    Is tearing down American flags and hoisting flags with one person who is now a felon "loving our nation?"

    Is storming the capitol while carrying the flag of rebels who sought to end our nation over slaver "loving our nation"?

    Nothing related to Trump is about "Loving our nation"

    This must be why a random woman, with her mini poodle on a leash, pumping gas next to me repeated these same talking points today.

    First she said "man I thought Trump was supposed to bring these prices down"

    Me "well he hasn't been in there that long but not sure any president really controls gas prices like that"

    Her "but the price of eggs too are going up! What are we gonna do with this Trumpflation! I thought 2025 was going to be good"

    Me (deflecting her demoralization) "2025 is gonna be a great. Just be positive, it could be worse"

    Her "you're right, you're right, 2025 is gonna be good"

    It's like they're all on the same programming.

    You too. Try to love your country even when the president wasn't your choice. It’s not easy but you’re an American, you can do it.

    Ok.But.He.Said.He.Would.Lower.Them.His.First.Week.

    It has not and will not go lower in fact

    https://www.agweb.com/news/livestoc...too-high-usda-says-retail-egg-prices-could-ju

    "Think Egg Prices Are Already Too High? USDA Says Retail Egg Prices Could Jump Another 20% in 2025"

    How is it hard to take me seriously when Im taking the president AT HIS WORD. I want you to tell me that? Also why didnt you answer my question in the other thread about him using military planes for no reason whatsoever?

    Im trying to have a rational discussion.

    Completely in good faith, Im asking questions so we can have dialogue, you bring arguments and I will bring arguments. I will listen to any good data driven argument.

    No you are not listening. The latest data on egg prices is from when Biden was still in office.

    It is utterly laughable to harp on egg prices a week after the new President is in office. This is so obvious, unless someone is not arguing in good faith.

    Oh no I am. Im trying to get you to understand something.

    Trump said he would fix it, the first week he was in office. It has not been fixed, so therefore HE LIED, correct?

    Trump should stop making promises that he is going to act quickly if he doesn't want to get criticized. You can't claim you are going to do something in your first week of office and then not do it. I'm with you, I don't see how it would be possible for any incoming administration to make change in such a short of amount of time, but the president has an issue with exaggerating everything, so of course everyone is going to micro analyze his administrations actions to death.

    So yeah, it's silly, it's no different than what you do as well, but you know it's cool to argue when you are in the position that you can state "COME ON MAN, HE JUST GOT IN OFFICE THIS PAST WEEK!!!" Egg prices are going to keep climbing for the foreseeable future, unless he implements price controls, but that would be very socialist of him lol. So yeah, he is going to get **** on for egg prices.

    Thanks for stating the obvious.

    The rest of your post is just noise.

    But Trump did lie right???

    Oh god lol. Egg prices are still high this month. The bird flu is causing issues. Prices are going to be high this month, and a for a few more months after that. Whole flocks have had to be slaughtered due to the outbreak and it takes time to replace egg laying hens. Is not rocket science. Maybe Trump will make some deal with some other country to import eggs to stabilize prices, but you know, let's see what he does. I'm sure we will see the prices start receding little by little as the outbreak is contained and hens are replaced.

    EDIT: I know you are now a Trump sympathizer, and it's cool that you drink the kool aid, but it's okay to admit that it was stupid of Trump to make promises he can't keep immediately. That's part of his issue that he wants to exaggerate everything.

    I absolutely love the country. It's why I don't support people that tried to overturn the election of the country i love. It's why I don't support people that tore down the American Flag and replaced with one carrying the name of the president that is supposed to uphold the constitution of this nation.

    Telling people who don't support overturning the election to love the country kind of falls flat.

    Courtesy for Biden? Well Biden never admitted he would lower prices his first week in office. Trump did, right? He lied right?

    But let me get this straight, you think Im not acting in good faith, because you think its unreasonable for Trump to fix everything his first week in office, right? The economy is a pretty complex thing and it takes time for these things to take affect, especially with stuff like the bird flu right?

    Who said anything about overturning an election? I am telling the people that want the country to fail to, instead, love their country.
