Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk "We did that." stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things...
When the Democrats said "What are you talking about? The economy is doing great!" the rightoids correctly called this shit out. Now that it's Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?
Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?
"How could Biden do this?"
Is the response I've seen so far.
The democrats, "we better stop. we might lose our brand as a gop sub."
I think Americans should stop buying eggs
At minimum, knowing how to substitute eggs in baking is a basic life skill if you like feeding yourself.
In baked goods, each = 1 egg:
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup mashed banana
3 tbsp nut butter
1/4 cup yogurt
1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water
Even when bird flu isn’t going on, sometimes you just don’t have an egg. Know your options!
I did. Months ago. I like eggs, but these people are fucking silly. I don't know how anybody could care so much about egg prices that they helped this criminal idiot be a dictator, and they're still whining instead of just refusing to buy eggs. How do these losers care this much about eggs but they don't breathe a word about the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs?
I might be close to this upset if it were cheese that this were happening to. But eggs? Get a life.
Biden is the worst it will be fixed as soon as I get in there... Gets in there: this isn't my fault stop whining.
~~We have always been at war with~~ Eggs have always been expensive.
$2/ dozen in Asia, mates! Laughing at america rn.
I love the way Trump says it's going to hurt a lot before it gets better.
Why?
What's even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I'd love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs....
Weak Trump trembles before daddy big egg
