The Trump Presidency, Season 2

[Free]

Trump used the word 'cum' in a tweet.

Sometimes I'd like a database of Trumpism insults to dump on someone defending Trump. And when the Trumpist protests I can just show my sources.

I assume this has something to do with California's policies that prevent upstream people from basically taking all the water before it reaches those downstream?

I stopped reading at "Newscum" and started thinking about childish insults.

The other day, Aldi told me they were limiting people to two dozen eggs (We usually buy at least 4 at a time/per week) because of shortages from Bird Flu.

So, I assume that in a short while, the price of eggs is probably going to get nuts again.

Eggs are nearly $9/dozen here in my neck of the woods. But rumor has it among some of the Trump nuts around here is that egg prices will drop to a dollar a dozen at 12:01pm on January 20th.

I still can't seem to buy any ostrich eggs around my parts.

While Walmart makes their employees claim "shortage", Safeway and Fred Meyer is fully stocked on everything Walmart claims there is a shortage for. Including eggs, reasonably priced.

Safeway and Fred Meyer

I love having to drive hundreds (if not thousands, in the case of any Fred Meyers) of miles for an egg!

I've not shopped for groceries at a Walmart more than twice in double the number of years. Not that I'm against it, but...well...

ffs I wasn't saying you had FM or Safeways in Alaska. They were nothing more than examples.

The point was WM is still crying shortages when there aren't any shortages.

ffs you need to take a breath. Comedy would be easier if it's not constantly taking on water.

You know, I've seen posts here and there about the price of eggs being high, mostly because of what trump has said, but I thought he was just using eggs as an example to speak about grocery prices having gone up. I didn’t realize they were actually that high! Wow! I get them for about +/- 3$ here on sale.Sometimes 5$ for chickens not raised in cages.

You know, if Trump wants to raise tariffs and threaten Canada with a war using economic force, I wish someone in our government would just call his bluff and say, bring it on. You don’t want our oil and lumber at our prices? Then don't buy it. Let’s see how much your eggs will cost when gas prices soar.

Enough with the flying down to meet with him (not even president yet for fuck’s sake). Govt leaders have been much too tolerant and polite with him. Whoever replaces Trudeau will probably get a surge of approval if he or she tells him to go suck an egg. We may have to pay the price at first, but we’ll get other customers for our products, and we could simply stop buying American shit. Canada buys the most us exports of all other countries.

Also, fuck him, and everyone who gleefully voted for that sack of puss.

I’m so petty I’ve pressed Dislike on any US location that comes up in Windows Spotlight since 2016. My produce has been anything but America the same time period.

 

[Katheryne Helendale]

California is likely the hardest hit with egg shortages and high prices because of a recently-passed proposition that requires all eggs sold in the state to be certified cage-free. This makes it really difficult to import eggs from other states. It's a good law, and I voted for it when it was on the ballot. But, yeah, it's having some unintended consequences.

I love this.

We still get boxy stuff at Walmart, but nothing really that is "fresh.". The milk and eggs all started tasting gross back around the Pandemic sonwe started getting those at Aldi. I get fruits and veggies at Kroger or Aldi now as well. Similar issue they jist started tasting kind of off from Walmart. Wal-mart grapes are particularly terrible.

I’m waiting for the people who bought Trump bucks to start asking when, exactly, those will become legal tender. Much entertainment shall ensue. We lament those who invested their retirement accounts.

A fool and his money soon go separate ways, or so I'm told.

The entire Trump deal is an endless variation on "You've got a nice country there, it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it." You just can't give these sort of people any sort of leverage or cave even an inch, they'll never stop. My hope is everyone he deals with in this manner would just say "No", and let the chips fall where they may, even if it plunges both sides into an economic depression. That kind of thinking just has to fuck off and die in a fire.

There's a new willing ally for Canada and Mexico in case the states go rogue.

I had another thought on this whole, "Add territory" nonsense.

Maybe Trump is trying really hard to ensure his name in future text books does not only show up next to "Most corrupt President Ever."

Like he wants it to be "Aquired Greenland."
