Yea. Kroger was trying to buy Albertsons and Safeway. Both mergers were denied. I think that was when the Kroger Rep was heard on the conference call how prices were being held higher than the inflation rate.
Didn’t this conversation take place during the Biden Administration? I seem to remember ppl talking inflation and this shit (price gouging) was going on.
Good ‘ol semantics. I remember a few years ago Texas (who would have thought) was debating how to word the term slavery/slave trade in some school textbooks. Brilliant ppl there came up with “involuntary relocation”. Words have meaning.
Yes! Orrrrr get out the thesaurus and check for other synonyms. Nahhhh, your solution is better. Just ask someone.

Overseas is out of his 4th grade vocabulary list. So he says “far away”.
True…that begs the question why would any union member vote for trump. My dad drove a semi most of his life and belonged to the union. He used to say that any union member who voted republican should have their head examined.
It’s been said that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I’ve read some reports that said the ppl in Gaza were warming up to Harris as they thought she would be better than trump.
I agree.
Putin and Trump go to a restaurant. Waiter: Vlade, what will you have? Putin: Rare steak Waiter: And for your vegetable? Putin: He'll have the same.
lol…Pele has a new caddie!
And just to complete the circle, Jr. also admitted to hitch a ride on the Lolita Express…twice.
Yesssss, you’re correct.
RFK Jr’s mind is fried from the heroin, from the steroids and from the hormone treatments to counter the steroids which lowers his testosterone. What a moron.
No kidding. It gives me another spot to scroll past. Let’s see if he takes the hint.
Yep. I like to call them green MAGA.
Cornel West who has a great vocabulary, always struck me as the type who liked the sound of his own voice.
Yep. I liked RBG. She was approached about retirement, but wouldn’t go for it. So after her passing trump got a 3rd pick and here we are.
I sure didn’t see those two gutless wonders protesting at a trump rally during the campaign. It was all theatre. BTW West and Stein received 0 electoral votes.
Oh yea, our grade school nuns would slap first and ask questions later. I got popped a few times. Teaching and giving life lessons using fear is no way to run a classroom. I have to say the nuns in high school were much better, or we were bigger…
Buenos Dias!
Where’s George Clooney?
WOW, must see TV!

Christopher Hitchens once said…and I’m paraphrasing here…at one time ppl believed in hundreds of gods, now most believe in just one. At least we’re heading in the right direction.
it was like…well we elect ppl to be our presidents not our pastors. Same with most of my Catholic friends, they did a 180 when trump showed up.
I’m kinda similar with this. Born and raised Catholic, but in my later years because horrified with the church sex scandals and the ever mounting hypocrisy. The politics of the Catholic Church finally drove me away. They couldn’t stand Bill Clinton (character counts), but when trump came along (1)
As an ex-Catholic, your meme made me chuckle to myself, mostly because there’s a lot of truth to it.
Same here… yes I remember parsing sentences or as we called it…diagramming sentences.Yes, no calculators, cellphones just you and that long division problem. I don’t think anyone does long division anymore. I did get into slide rulers in college a bit. I believe that did make us some what different.
degree, a bit of rounding the corners off.
So, I took some more history classes, took some psychology classes and even got into a philosophy class. It was a great experience to get into some other disciplines and enjoyable one. I think it was a good experience for me to get into something other than my main (2)
Great thread. I graduated college in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Earth Science and Biology. Back then one could cram in as many hours as one could handle and it didn’t cost any more per semester. So, I finished my degree early and decided to spread out a bit. (1)
Doesn’t matter if he has a town hall meeting or not. Hell, he could get caught at the local cat house, he doesn’t care. He knows the voters will put him right back in office because he’s got that “R” by his name on the ballot.
Yep. But the republican have been playing the refs (corporate media) for decades now and it’s payed off big time. If there’s one thing the media hate is being labeled as biased for the Dems. So they really go out of their way to stick it to Dems to show how objective they are.
This^^***
The doxxing excuse crap is just that..crap.These thugs know that they’re breaking the law. So they hope the masks save them.When this shit show is done and it will be (fingers crossed), I’d like to see Nuremberg like trials where the defense that says I was only following orders falls on deaf ears.
Great post and I think it’s right on point.
The person who comes up with these headlines for The NY Times has to be a trump ass snorkeler.
These “Christians” including the asshole across the street should be tried and put in prison.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.
Yesss “ butt snorkeler… I like it. Much more descriptive than “ass kisser” or “ass muncher”.
Well, after reading that some 300 million Americans have had their SS information exposed, I had my credit frozen at Transunion, Experian and Equifax. Anywhere else that I should look at? Maybe I should ask Elon….
I’ve watched Schwarber since he was with the Cubs. When he’s on, watch out and then there are the other times. It’s all part of the game.
Yea. Here’s the take on ppl like this guy. You never saw any of them protesting at a trump rally during the campaigns of 2024. They were afraid of getting their asses kicked by some MAGA Amazon or they really didn’t give a fuck about Palestinians anyway.
I don’t trust these numbers any longer. These are trump numbers.

What a pussy.

Good posts on this thread. Ppl can be lonely. It’s a sad part of life. What’s even more sad is how some of these young turned to trump. I hope they don’t emulate him. He is a vile, misogynistic, sexual abuser. That will push them further down the rabbit hole and further from normal relationships.
The press is mostly comprised of spineless weasels. Gotta have that access so they can ask their spineless questions.
Darwinism is alive and well in the US.
Yep. The media will drop this story like a hot potato. They can’t afford to piss off trump or any his lackey gutless wonders.
This parish priest has more guts than most of the US bishops who coddle trump combined.
The big problem is racism. Until this malady can be fixed,this country will continue to be divided.The last time a majority of white voters supported a Dem presidential candidate was in 1964(LBJ),that was when the Civil Rights Act was signed. Many white voters fled the Dems and it still holds today.
This^^^ Dems have put up gun reform bills and Republicans give them the middle finger and ppl’s first response is to blame Democrats. Get real.

Yep…too many failed purity tests, too much apathy, laziness, willful stupidity, didn’t like the gender,didn’t like the skin color, didn’t like the laugh, had a need to “teach” someone a “lesson”or to punish someone. Stop with the nonsense and get with it.
Agree. To facilitate these points the Dems must: control the house control the senate and have a filibuster proof majority to pack the court (unless the filibuster is removed somehow) control the WH not have any senators with Manchin/Sinema Syndrome (I’m thinking Fetterman) It’s easy as pie.
My gosh, do these ppl need a drawing (in crayon of course) to explain these “posts” to them? How do they even tie their own shoes? (rhetorical question).
Dem SC justices pick. Trump gets in. The SC goes his way with 3 more picks. If only Republicans had purity test and Dems didn’t. Harris could have been president.
Agree 100%. I voted for Hillary Clinton. She wasn’t the perfect candidate. I heard ppl say that she didn’t give a speech like Bill or had his political savvy. But there was a SC justice pick on the line. The press(emails), Comey, & 12% of the Bernie or bust bros went with trump and here we are. No….

America is not a Christian nation. Nothing in the constitution says that we are a Christian nation. We are free to be Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims or whatever religion. The government cannot interfere with that right. Ms Gomez needs an education and to take her bigotry,camo pants and shove it.
What should Democrates do about this?
The corporate media quickly moved on from this story because most if not all of the media owners donated to trump and they didn’t want piss him off by doing follow up stories. This double murder was committed by an ardent trump supporter and MAGA knows it. So they swept it under the rug.
The conservative SC members are corrupted Catholic racist and bigoted hacks. White religious nationalists are the majority there and everyone knows it.
Bingo! The “media” needs to grow a spine. But I’m not going to hold my breath. Corporate media has capitulated to trump. For them, it’s much easier this way. A trove of grading the republicans on a curve, sane-washing trump and mushy headlines, call it a day and head home.

You didn’t mention: The American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Investment and Jos Act, Chips and Science Act, Honoring Our Pact Act, Fiscal Responsibility Act, American Climate Corps, plus Supreme Court Appointment. You just literally proved Roberts’ point. Dems need to belittle republicans.
I know exactly what “food insecurity” means. I’m still looking for an individual who refused to vote for another individual for using that expression. Trump is semi-illiterate, has the vocabulary of a 4th grader and is low IQ. In this period, this is a feature and not a bug. This country is fucked.
“Meatball” Ron is a moron. His stupidity is typical of the republican species. Seems they have a very difficult time understanding who was president and when…another example….

He’s just like Matt Taibbi. Greenwald looked around one day and discovered that there was a boatload of money to be had from the political right and far right. That sure beats trudging about looking for the truth.
🤣
The mid 1900’s to 1920’s also saw a sharp rise in the implementation of Confederate statues as well as a resurgence of the KKK. It wasn’t a coincidence. It was a clear message to black and brown folks.
The chance that same- sex marriage will be overturned is great. Not for any precedent or law, but because 5 of the 6 conservative SC justices are Catholic. Both same-sex marriage and abortion go against Catholic teachings. Contraception is next. L. Leo (a Catholic) put the court majority in power.

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza. There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
Oh, I do believe you. I saw the reception he got while visiting Scotland and you all did a great job of showing your disgust of him. Keep up the good work.
Another “comedian” who’s part of the problem. So he’s just now figuring it out. Good job Billy. Better late than never huh.
Sad to see a lack of critical thinking in some British folks. The US apparently has spread that malady to our friends in Great Britain and Ireland.
Isn’t this how China operates to some extent? Where are all of those critical of socialism and dare I say communism? The silence is deafening.
Agree…but I will say this again as a former Missourian, yes MO is gerrymandered in the republicans favor, but that does excuse statewide offices like governor, senator and attorney general etc to be in republican control. Where are the Democrats voters and why are they not voting in greater numbers.
Agree 100%.
Yep. Plus trashing Dems is the “in” thing and hip thing to do in these times. It’s now a cultural thing. Dave Roberts posted this 2 years ago. He saw what was coming.
Everyone knows who owns the media. Dems can message 24/7, but unless the “media” covers the messages, they go no where. I do see coverage on independent media but not so much on corporate media. The pushback should be on republicans and willfully ignorant voters.
The M$M are all traitors
Did you see this?
It looks like a Vegas whorehouse and it is a whorehouse.
Yes, I get more information from them also.
