Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices
Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

. . . unlike other of his frequent lies on topics about which most Americans have no first-hand knowledge — for example his claim that other countries pay U.S. tariffs or that he has ended eight wars or that he has already brought in $22 trillion in foreign investments — groceries and how much they cost is a subject that nearly everyone deals with at least once or twice a week.
“I can’t tell you why the president lies, but I can tell you that everything he has said about prices being lower is a lie,” said University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers. “I’m starting to think that he doesn’t actually care about the cost of living.”
Trump has seemed sensitive to that suggestion, particularly in the days after Republicans were trounced in off-year elections around the country. Voters told pollsters that things were not going well in the economy. Heading into the fall campaigns, more than 80% of Americans reported being stressed by grocery prices, with about half describing it as a cause of “major” stress.
. . . HuffPost tried, both in the afternoon session and the evening dinner, to press him about his grocery prices lie, but he would not engage on the question.
At another point, Trump made the absurd assertion, “We’re taking in hundreds of trillions of dollars,” even though the entire U.S. economy is only about $30 trillion a year.
“I have no insight on why the president says what he says, but tariffs are increasing costs for U.S. consumers, and they will continue to make Americans poorer as long as they remain in effect,” said Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation.

Quote:Trump is playing golf in Florida today. Wait until Monday to learn what new and bigger pile of dog poop Trump jumps into next week — maybe sending the Army, rather than the National Guard, into NYNY to overthrow the Communist Mayor? Who knows? Not Trump, at least not yet.

You can't do it anyhow, at least right now, but even just SAYING it is giving the dipshits on the other side the soundbytes to use when they're in power again and try it doing it again themselves.

Hours after witnessing his party’s worst electoral drubbing in at least six years, President Donald Trump hosted Senate Republicans at the White House and demanded they ditch their chamber’s supermajority rules.
“If you don’t terminate the filibuster, you’ll be in bad shape,” he told them over breakfast in the State Dining Room.
It was classic Trump dominance theater, like many other occasions this year where he successfully muscled recalcitrant Republicans to confirm controversial nominees, support divisive policies and enact sweeping domestic policy legislation.
But upon returning to the Capitol, the senators made it very clear: They planned to blow Trump off. One GOP senator, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, laughed out loud when asked about the anti-filibuster push.
Welcome to the dawn of Trump’s lame duck era.

I listened to you two stupid fuckers say you wanted the filibuster removed when your meat popsicle president was in charge.
Go fuck yourself, stupid.

Should Democrats Help Trump Kill the Filibuster?

Ed Kilgore would love to see it happen. That should tell you all you need to know.

NEW RULE: Any time Trump has an idea in his head, before he posts about it on Truth Social he should ask himself about the idea "What would Ed Kilgore do?"
And then he should do the exact opposite of that.

Trump promises every American will get $2,000 from tariff revenue
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/nov/9/trump-promises-every-a
merican-get-2000-tariff-revenue/
No. That's what LOSER Democrats do.
I don't want your fucking money. Pay off the fucking debt. You goons just blew another Trillion between August and November and that was AFTER all the DOGE cuts and government terminations.
That $2,000 isn't going to mean shit after you've taken my healthcare away anyhow. I'll blow that in less than 2 months on prescriptions.

Yeah...
How the hell are we supposed to fix anything when we've got boomer seniors referring to their huge social security checks that they don't need as their "boat money".
The only person I've ever known that didn't accept ANY of the freebies was my grandma. Several years during covid and back when GWB cut those stimulus checks I told my grandma that I could do her taxes for her those years and since they were credits that every American adult were entitled to that she was just leaving money on the table. I couldn't even get her to do it when I was pushing hard about inflation and how she'd really just be hedging against the inflation the freebies were going to cause. She wasn't stupid. She already knew this. But saying no to the money was her silent protest against these inflationary actions.
I can't say that it was a smart thing to do. But I do respect her integrity. She lived a meager life and left a decent chunk of change to her kids when she passed, despite not taking any of those stimulus checks. She wouldn't have done anything nice for herself with that money. It would have gone to her kids, and 2 of the 3 of them would have blown it on something stupid.
After I pay my montly/yearly bills, all money to me is free time. That's more valuable than nearly anything else I can do with it. When I run out of money it's back to work for more. I'm just glad that I'll be making a lot more this time to keep up with the inflation. That's another side-benefit to making nothing and living off of nothing. The people making the very least have seen the largest bumps in pay over the last 6 years.
*I mean, besides the 1%'ers who really made bank and fucked all of us in the 2020s, but that's another story...

James Carville: Democrats Will Win In 2028, Congress Will Increase Supreme Court Justices From 9 to 13

First off, James, I don't believe your prediction today is any more relevant than your prediction for the 2024 election. Just more wishful thinking.
That being said, you SHUT THE FUCK UP.
You might not care if the filibuster comes to an end since you're about 6 months away from dying, but everybody else will have to live the rest of their lives on a political rollercoaster if it happens.
It's dipshits like you that are going to drive enough moderate Democrat support to help Trump actually officially put an end to the only thing protecting us from people like you.
