Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk "We did that." stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things...

When the Democrats said "What are you talking about? The economy is doing great!" the rightoids correctly called this shit out. Now that it's Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?

"How could Biden do this?"

Is the response I've seen so far.

I think Americans should stop buying eggs

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

At minimum, knowing how to substitute eggs in baking is a basic life skill if you like feeding yourself.

In baked goods, each = 1 egg:

1/4 cup applesauce

1/4 cup mashed banana

3 tbsp nut butter

1/4 cup yogurt

1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water

Even when bird flu isn’t going on, sometimes you just don’t have an egg. Know your options!

I did. Months ago. I like eggs, but these people are fucking silly. I don't know how anybody could care so much about egg prices that they helped this criminal idiot be a dictator, and they're still whining instead of just refusing to buy eggs. How do these losers care this much about eggs but they don't breathe a word about the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs?

I might be close to this upset if it were cheese that this were happening to. But eggs? Get a life.

Biden is the worst it will be fixed as soon as I get in there... Gets in there: this isn't my fault stop whining.

~~We have always been at war with~~ Eggs have always been expensive.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love the way Trump says it's going to hurt a lot before it gets better.

Why?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I'd love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs....
