President Trump promised voters that, if elected, he would enact policies that would bring prices down on “Day 1” in office.

But three weeks into his term, Mr. Trump and White House officials have become more measured in how they discuss their efforts to tame inflation. They have begun downplaying the likelihood that consumer costs like groceries will decline anytime soon, reflecting the limited power that presidents have to control prices. Those are largely determined by global economic forces.

The shifting tone could allow Mr. Trump to reset expectations about how fast prices will come down as he pursues policies like tariffs and tax cuts, which economists say could exacerbate inflation.

I look forward to the MAGA voters paying more for things at Walmart. They'll continue to blame the "deep state" for it, but it's good to know their lives will become harder.

F-ed around and about to find out.

I would take 10 Trudeaus OR Poilievres over Trump, any day. He is in a league of his own for how toxic and defective a human he is.

It’d probably be wise for PP to stop aping Trump if that comparison is causing people so much grief.

I was picturing something like the movie Split, where Trent abruptly shifts into Hedwig.

First yank that cross off of her blasphemous neck.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital denies VP J.D. Vance’s 12-year-old relative a heart transplant because she isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19, per NYP.

I’ve watched enough TV medical shows to know this is a smart policy.

Neither Trudeau nor PP are particularly close to a Canadian version of Donald Trump.

But PP is a hell of a lot closer to Canadian Trump than Trudeau is.

Just give her some Ivermectin, should do the trick I think. I'm not a doctor so you can trust me.

Lock her parents up for robbing her of that opportunity.

Too bad with the deplorable UCP in charge it won't happen but EVERY SINGLE kid who attends public or catholic schools needs to show they are childhood vaxxed. Or you can goto Jason Kenny's Pro-Disease Christian private schools.

talking to a guy this morning and i mention how a bunch of the executive orders that trump signed are being blocked by the courts becuz it's contrary to the u.s. constitution.

his response: you see... that's how they are going to identify all the crocked judges.
me: the judge is a republican
him: oh, he must be one of the honest ones and that order must have gone too far then.

So the bit coin bro I work with comes up to me today, "did you know that Musk discovered that the US government has a hard cap on the number of government employees that are allowed to retire each year, because they have to fill out a full box full of forms to retire, and take them in an elevator down to a mine shaft, and the elevator only goes so fast, so if there isn't enough time to take your retirement paper down to the mine, they say sorry, we have to keep paying you, you'll have to retire next year"

I assume this can only be Brandolini's law in full effect, because I didn't even know how to reply.

But if she's not vaccinated, why would she need a heart transplant?
when vaccines are what cause heart problems...?

Well obviously she was close to people who were vaccinated, and the vaccines shed onto her. Something about spike proteins or something? I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics they make.

Just wait until Funyuns, Fluff, Mountain Dew, and Moon Pies become unaffordable. MAGA will turn so fast.

I thought they had given all their disposable income to Trump for his junk merchandise anyway.

I know this all considered fake news and or elitism at this point, but for those who may not be familial Cincinnati Children's is a world class Pediatric facility

How did an american politics thread turn into an old school covid thread.

I thought those came to an end a few years ago.

Your conversation describes north american polarization perfectly.
