Prices will sadly never go down. As public perspective is locked on a price, prices will stay the same as cooperations will see any price decrease on their costs, as an increase in their profit margins.
Though I don't expect people that cling to Trump for hope of ever realizing that.
“Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.
Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you've oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.
On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."
I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won't touch the guys threatening to shoot up "leftys."
So. Our democracy hinges on the fact that the lesser of two evils is being a clown, to protect a ICC criminal dictator, while innocent civilians die daily, and will for another 7 months, to American paid bombs.
I wonder if we can move to Canada based on political asylum from Trump. Because if not, we are so fucked.
If I have to hear one more thought Donald Trump has about this case.
I have blue balls for justice starting from 4 years ago. And nothing but Trump commentary (arguable the least horny thing on this planet) to keep me occupied.
And I am about to pay a porn star hush money to beat me in a Trump outfit if I don't start seeing some justice.
They are called different things. Some people call them cope cages. Others call them turtle tanks.
In all, the idea is that if you have one of these meshes, drones cannot drop ordinance inside of the tank.
Unfortunately, it is not recommended to do this, as a bigger target gives your position away.
Some of the equipment or escape vectors are blocked off.
But it also does nothing extra to protect the tank from the impact of Javelin missiles, or a tank round, a Bradley auto cannon. Or even from a drone that detonates over it.
Though most drones don't aim for the mesh, but the back of the tank, the tank tracks (Wheels), or the base of the turret which are the weak points.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to halt the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire that recognises the current battlefield lines, four Russian sources told Reuters, saying he is prepared to fight on if Kyiv and the West do not respond....
Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?
Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?
Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.
Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.
The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.
Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.
Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.
People had to uproot their lives and won't feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.
I really don't like that the sources on this article are missing.
Sure, that’s a lot of money for the wealthy who control 93% of stock, but it’s also tens of millions of Americans who will have a more comfortable and secure retirement. In fact, the number of Americans who have over $1 million in their retirement accounts grew by 20% in the last quarter of 2023.
Fine and dandy, except that half of Americans don't have a retirement account. Or 47% of Americans.
So while retirement indexes are up, 1:2 people are not going to see that.
Inflation eased slightly in April — the first time this year that has happened. Overall inflation edged down to 3.4% and slipped to 3.6% when you exclude food and energy costs. (food expected to rise by an additional 2.2%)
Good to see the brakes are working. But just remember that not everyone goes out to by a car or house on a twice-a-week basis. But everyone does with the grocery store. Which in Biden's defense, he has started trying to pull back.
According to the Fox report, House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) says Biden "mischaracterized" his role working for his own firm, Rosemont Seneca. Biden said that he didn't "control" the bank accounts for the company and they were not "affiliated with him."
Really? ? Wake me up when republican's find evidence. Otherwise, this is just the same circus with the same clowns.
Just because people criticize Biden does not mean they are a follower of the MAGA cult.
Biden can do so much better then this. People want a reason to support him.
Instead we are being blamed for Biden's failures, because Biden chooses not to listen. While every time we try to change course we are being told we are anti-democratic. That we are trying to get Trump elected.
Like the average voter has more power then the president.
At this point, I am on no-body's side, because no one is anti-genocide.
Fucking hell. What monsters would propose ending food programs across the world just so one man can sit in power during a genocide?
He's a man, he can be replaced, he will be replaced eventually. Why are we going to piss off every country with a conscience for this goblin of a man with the military and political brainpower of a bowling pin?
Only thing this will do is fuel animosity towards the US.
The jury haven't even made a ruling yet.... All they've done is listen.....
"You are going into a kangaroo court. There's nothing more. Nothing less. There'd be absolutely no reason, no justification to do that whatsoever." - Donald Trump Jr.
Not even an excuse? , if the jury only has one side of the story that is what they are going with.
If you aren't even going to put your fists up and spend all your time arguing with the referee, you can't complain when you get KO'ed
The former president has also drawn wide backlash for having dined with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist in 2022 and for downplaying the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists chanted “Jews will not replace us!”
He was already in bed with them, now he is just bringing his fetishes out in the open.
I don't think you'll find many people that don't look at our current healthcare system as a wreck. People are paying $150-$300 a month for a coupon that takes 70% off their next hospital bill of $200,000.
A better message would be that Trump is coming for our Democracy.
But this current message lacks any perspective on our current healthcare system.

If you go back in history more then Oct 7. You'll find a lot of questions.... like....
That 4 billion we sent to Israel.... that was supposed to go to defense from attacks such as this...... where did it go?
Why were the guards not even in armor before Hamas descended on them, even though there was an early warning?
How did a government that was warned of the attack a month before it happened decide to do nothing about it?
Why is Israel's tactics not reflecting a hostage situation and more of a scorched-earth policy?
Why did Israel shoot their own hostages that were waving White flags?
Why is Israel targeting food aid trucks?
It's not Israel's pursuit of justice that disgusts people, it's Israel's deplorable tactics that is embarrassing both the US and Israel. Only Israel.... doesn't seemed to ashamed of them..... While the US is burning global goodwill by the megaton.
