I have mentioned the price of groceries a bunch on the show and I’ll just keep on doing it

Reposted from Dave Weigel

The Trump campaign promise I’m most interested in tracking is “free IVF coverage.”

Some editor at NJ Advance Media has a reporter on the egg price beat and it was atop the morning news email 🫡

Note that you can keep track of the price of a BLT (until Trump dismantles FRED) right here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1CMpU

...you can also track eggs and many other staples at St. Louis Fed, but note that eggs are subject to price fluctuation on account of... avian flu, which will no doubt get worse, especially if Orange Julius gets rid of the USDA.

How can you say he hasn’t done anything when he wrote an EO specifically saying groceries should be cheaper

ryanday.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yolk’s on you.

ericteusink.bsky.social•39 days ago

I am smart enough to know bringing down the price of groceries is not a thing that can be done by a President.

But now I am shameless enough to act as though he can before all the rubes.

Being smart got liberals fuck all nothing. Let's try something else.

stoopnagle.bsky.social•38 days ago

If only Uncle Joe had pressed the “economy” button in the WH basement!

thegax.bsky.social•39 days ago

Second this. I’m ready to run their playbook back at them.

Need Trump "I did this" stickers

krisve.bsky.social•39 days ago

So do I print out the executive order and take it to the grocery store? A cashier cant ignore a President’s order. They’ll have to give me a markdown.

john-mccains-ghost.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is the way.

Liberals might get somewhere if they did everything they are accused of doing anyways.

Instead, they don't get anywhere because they are afraid of being too liberal for "median voter" which is some person in the middle of Ohio who would probably beat them with hammers given the chance.

Willful amnesia until everyone forgets

krisve.bsky.social•39 days ago

So we’re just giving up on the promised ultra platinum carbon titanium health care plan that’s coming out in two weeks and moving on to groceries?

janecoaston.bsky.social•39 days ago

The funniest thing in the world is that Trump ran twice using a “ice cream for everyone” strategy and this time he promised such specific stuff and he’s already like welp

jmchao.bsky.social•39 days ago

Two times means nothing. If we give him a third term, he’ll definitely keep his promises.

janecoaston.bsky.social•39 days ago

But seriously I will just keep chanting WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF EGGS until Jesse Watters shivs me or something

skeptocapital.com•39 days ago

Jesse Watters probably doesn’t even know how to use a shiv

“Honey is this a cheese knife?”

ericvento.bsky.social•39 days ago

You beat me to this joke

kenwhite.bsky.social•39 days ago

He won’t shiv you, you aren’t the car tire of a woman he’s stalking

lgtaylor.bsky.social•39 days ago

so shines a good callback in a weary world

kensterfox.bsky.social•39 days ago

I read this as Jesse stalking a woman that you are pejoratively referring to as a "car tire" (because "spare tire" is a euphemism for fat, maybe?).

jmchao.bsky.social•39 days ago

If you don’t know the context, you’re in for a treat.

mmmccarthy.bsky.social•38 days ago

Didn’t this event occur while he was married with twin daughters? #GirlDad

leontrout.bsky.social•39 days ago

So its lies all the way down and at some pt who admits "ah shit I didnt expect this"

leontrout.bsky.social•39 days ago

The hardest thing for people in this country culturally is to realize "mistakes were made" i think. The suffering will go on

pjlm.bsky.social•39 days ago

It was a close election. A tiny percent needs to not turn out and a tiny percent needs to change their vote because they are mad.

oblio.bsky.social•38 days ago

In a sense, IVF coverage is about the price of eggs…

rvasailor.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm afraid this is buried too deep in the thread and such a fantastic joke will go unnoticed. But I see you, Oblio, and I appreciate you.

aenonymous.bsky.social•38 days ago

v-ron.bsky.social•39 days ago

He has admitted to slashing tires

ericvento.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don’t think Jesse knows which end of the shiv to hold

brianeugene.bsky.social•39 days ago

I am tempted to do this. But it seems like the “because of some mean tweets “ excuse some used for him losing the last election. But it’s tempting

justingallivan.bsky.social•39 days ago

left: price of eggs morning of inauguration day. right: price of eggs just now.

wilken.bsky.social•39 days ago

He doesn't care. If it works he tries credit, if it doesn't it's the deep state

repetitiveuser.bsky.social•39 days ago

I am forever in awe that anyone fell for that shit from the biggest bullshit artist in American history

baumer.bsky.social•39 days ago

It was so patently ridiculous by the end of the campaign where he basically promised anything and everything, and yet the media seemed unable to provide literally any push back on the wild claims.

jfpgaffney.bsky.social•39 days ago

I would characterize it as “unwilling”

repetitiveuser.bsky.social•39 days ago

sweet-jesus.bsky.social•39 days ago

Didn't you know? Grocery prices going up is BASED now. BASED and PATRIOTIC!
