Gonna need the lower gas and groceries now since so many women will probably die from lack of help with reproductive complications and their spouses will be forced to raise motherless children on a single income.
So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because youâve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didnât, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didnât, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didnât, because you preferred his âpoliciesâ?
You want me to believe you voted for the âgrab em by the pussyâ guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than âconcepts of a planâ to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a âdictator on day oneâ, because youâre worried about losing your gas stove?
Iâm sorry, but I donât believe any of that, and frankly, Iâm not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasnât about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldnât do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone elseâs fault.
Letâs be honest here, that is what it was.
So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some fâd up âcampâ to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before sheâs allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.
Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.
Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.
There are a million ways to make a differenceâget back in the fight when youâre ready.
And know that, whenever you are ready, Iâll be ready to get back in with you.
Tariffs are taxes.
The foreign company or importer pays the taxes, yes.
Then they pass the cost onto the consumer â by raising prices.
So tariffs are paid by YOU â and the prices of EVERYTHING are about to go up.
Weâll call it Trumpflation.
As usual, President Biden quietly attended Mass in Delaware this evening, keeping up his record as the most consistently church-going president in modern history.
Faith isnât a prop for himâitâs personal, something he genuinely lives by. Meanwhile, Christian conservatives just helped elect someone who would probably need a GPS to find a church.
I'll never understand it.
the amount of men asking âwhat if she gets her period and starts a warâ about a 60 year old woman is a prime example of why men need to stay out of our reproductive rights.
âDaddy?â
Yes Johnny?
âKing Trump deported my friends, closed my school, forced me to work in a factory and let mommy die when she was pregnant with my little sister, so why did you vote for him?â
âBecause the price of eggs was too high, son.â
