    “The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.”

    This attempt at misdirection is so artfully sleazy I have to appreciate it. It should be taught in classes.

    It’s still misdirection, though. It doesn’t matter WHO was in office, or WHAT the price of eggs was. Trump campaigned on the promise to lower those prices.

    He’s not annoyed because the public doesn’t understand. He’s annoyed at the public for having the audacity to call him out on his bullshit.

      I’m just over here wishing we could get both 49%'s that always vote partisan to give a shit about the working class and poor at the same time.

      For four years, one side’s angry and the other makes excuses. Then, when the other team’s guy is in charge, one 49% decides it’s their turn to make excuses and the other side pretends to give a shit.

      It would be exhausting if we weren’t all already exhausted from trying to live in this impoverished hellscape.

    Classic GOP. Campaign on fixing something that they blame another admin for and then turn around and say they can’t control that thing to fulfill on their promise.

    Imagine if this had been under Biden. They’d have been banging on about how he caused it constantly. A fickle unthinking bunch.

      Being unthinking is one thing. But the degree that they actively avoid thinking is remarkable to me.

      I saw them going for $10 yesterday in CA. People have reported them going as high as $18. Chicken is also quite expensive and in short supply due to the bird flu disruptions

    That “article”, though. I thought I had just read the intro, but it was the whole thing. It’s this what passes for online journalism now?
