“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.

Someone will have to figure out how to get one of the sides to stop believing that the country would be a paradise if only their opponents could be completely eradicated, first.

That's true.

But, I think when the Boomers are gone history will show that their loss will be a boost to overall social progress.
