MAGAs were freaking out over an increase in eggs. Not freaking out over everything increasing??

They would have drawn up articles of impeachment on the same day tariffs were introduced if it was a Dem.

This is kind of funny that donaldian policies can have unintended environmental benefits, simply because of the severe economic recession. Drill-baby-drill is a slogan, reduced oil consumption is reality. One of the most anti-environmental presidents benefits nature.

Sweet, sweet irony.

The cost of having fewer stupid voters is that you can’t get away with bullshit like that.

Democratic Presidents always have a tough road simply because the people that support them aren’t complete mouth breathers.

Biden “maybe they will have two MAGA flags on their boat instead of 30 MAGA flags, and maybe those two MAGA flags will cost a couple of bucks more”

I forget how it ended when Jimmy Carter suggested Americans put on a sweater, happily I'm sure.

A pissing context that he has no chance of winning no less.

There was a time when US presidents had the currency to ask sacrifice of Americans for some greater good. Here, he wants everyone to bleed for him and only him.

Jimmy Carter’s presidency basically ended when he politely asked Americans to maybe put on a sweater instead of cranking up the heat in the winter.

It will never happen because as soon as a Dem had the courage to speak out, the Republicans would yell communist/socialist/fascist from their glass house.

Reagan ran extremely effectively against that messaging and got rewarded well.

Perhaps some in the democratic party of today can embrace the same... our pandering to billionaires is making our president into a man who will cancel Christmas.

Well if you listen to Democrats, actually doing what you said is bad! Because…? Just because.

The Democratic Party is just an organ of the Republicans at this point, sadly. It’s a shell game, nothing more.

This reminds me of the time when Jimmy Carter told everyone they should wear a sweater because heating costs were too expensive. That did not go well.

dennycarter.bsky.social•1 day ago

He kindly suggested folks turn down the heat and it was treated as a war crime

The way things are going with his cult even if he says " the children will have to make do with one meal instead of three" they'll still think he's god....
