The federal government could default on its debt as soon as July, a new forecast from the Bipartisan Policy Center warns, raising pressure on Congress for action.
The prominent think tank forecast Monday that the so-called “X-Date” would likely arrive between mid-July and early October.
We need to stop invoking this mantra. Joe didn’t really do much to make egg prices go up [or down] and Trump clearly isn’t trying on that front either. If/when they do come down you’ll just vindicate the other side. I actually have seen lower prices at my local grocery. 2022 prices? IDK, but definitely lower than a couple weeks ago.
To the best of my knowledge Joe never made claims either way on egg prices. trump campaigned on lowering egg prices.
Speaking next to a table of packaged goods during an August press conference, Trump promised, should he be re-elected, to lower grocery prices on “day one.”
“Grocery prices have skyrocketed. Cereals are up 26 percent, bread is up 24 percent, butter is up 37 percent, baby formula is up 30 percent, flour is up 38 percent, and eggs are up 46 percent,” he said. “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.”

So egg prices continue to rise and what is trump’s response to the American people after getting elected? “Shut up about egg prices”.
"The new numbers come days after Trump posted a link to an article with the headline “Shut Up About Egg Prices ― Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, on Truth Social. "

Charlie Kirk is a brain dead moron
With a tiny face.
The problem is that he lied to people to gain votes about handling. We absolutely DO NOT need to stop invoking it whatsoever. Every lie he told should be constantly spouted back at him and his cronies.
Then I would say make his promise a key part of the criticism. Other people are going to parrot, “How about those cheap eggs?” but probably have nothing else to go off of if/when eggs aren’t so expensive anymore. Just don’t give people a “Jerkstore” insult (Seinfeld) and leave them with no backup.
Why? Honest question. What’s the point?
If you honestly do not understand the point, then your parents must have failed to instill in you the very basic concept of civics and responsibility, or you’ve just chosen to be the kind of person that is constantly steamrolled and taken advantage of and have no intention of fighting back against injustice.
Either way, I’m so sorry for you.
Way to dodge the question. I’ll try again: what is to be gained by highlighting Trump’s hypocrisy?
The fact that you not only dodged the question, but got hostile, makes me think you already have an idea.
No dodging. If you truly don’t understand, then it’s like trying to explain the flavor of an orange to someone who has no tastebuds and has never tasted anything before.
From the most practical standpoint and at a bare minimum, it’s pointing out his lies and failures to people who may have voted for him to erode his support and form a larger resistance to his wants and wishes. Say nothing, and do nothing.
What evidence do you have that this works? If anything, the last decade has demonstrably proved that this idea is false.
You can appeal to facts and logic until the cows come home, but you’re not going to make a dent in his approval rating or quell fascism. This is pure liberalism: the idea that the marketplace of ideas is what ultimately turns the wheel of history - the idea that with an epic enough slam, with enough scathing blasts, with enough late night talk show hit pieces, with enough appeals to facts and logic, you can convince a fascist to reason themselves out of being fascist. Although that might work once in a blue moon, it’s not how you systematically stop fascism. Fascism thrives when material conditions for working-class people start to deteriorate, so the only way to stamp it out is either to kill the fascists or make material changes to the daily lives of working people. The dems have shown zero interest in doing either. It is pretty scary to me that your idea of “fighting injustice” ultimately just boils down to virtue signaling online about how you’re so much smarter than the fascists who fail to see (or simply dont care) about Trump’s hypocrisy. Liberals are getting mighty jumpy since the only recourse they have included in their poltical framework is linking politifacts on Facebook and hoping fascism magically dies.
You joking again?
If the last decade has done anything, it’s shown the GOP has a very small static base. The entire difference in the last election was less than 2%, and a large number of abstaining voters. The math on that alone shows that it does work. The fact the GOP flipped seats shows it works.
Your assertion is that doing nothing is somehow…useful?? 🤣
You didn’t really address any of my points… you’ve just stuck your fingers in your ears and are clinging to blind faith that the liberal order is working exactly and expected, and some higher being is going to swoop down from the clouds and magically steer us out of this fascist debacle… good luck with that. Since you’re not serious anymore, I’ll leave you a quote from Hitler.
Trump ran on the promise of lowering prices.
It does need to be repeated.
Nah, when the MAGA cult was screaming at Biden about the price of eggs and Trump ran on the promise of lowering them, they absolutely should be reminded and called out for every day.
Also, not sure what you’re talking about grocery store prices still continue to rise where I’m at.
I mean Trump campaigned on lowering egg prices. So I think it’s fair. I believe he said day one.
