At this point it's fully safe to say that Trump is delivering as expected.

Yes, this time he has surrounded himself with the village idiots, whereas the first time he had some folks that could tie a shoe lace until they explained reality to him!!

How about if us "blue" states stop sending our money to the Fed. Maybe WE should stop funding THEM!

Most of the red states rely on federal handouts to fund their annual operating budgets; there's no way they could handle tornado, flood, or hurricane damage without putting their hands out to the federal government - meaning us. I'm all for letting the red states pull themselves up by their own boot straps for a change. I'm tired of paying support to these welfare queens.

Also, I am tired of those that put down California. I like the diversity AND that it is a blue state.

The Donald only knows what the last person said to him! If he was fool enough to make that mistake its certain he would blame somebody or something else Don can't believe old Joe was ethical and didn't pardon himself? Why? Because Donald acts and he talks like a thin skinned Bully 5th grader!!

That’s EXACTLY what I thought the republicans would do: get trump in office, invoke the 25th Amendment, have vance complete the term, then try to get Vance elected 2 more times. OR, after invoking the 25th and having Vance in office, the republicans do something crazy with our elections, to make sure Vance/republicans STAY in office.

It’s too early. They need to wait a bit, so that Mr Vance can run in 2028 (and win) and then run again in 2032 (and win again). That way he could be president for close to 10 years.

Jane in NC's avatar

I suspect the danger will come shortly after the mid-terms, especially if the republicans lose the house [likely] and/or the senate [possible]. I think you might be overestimating Vance's appeal among MAGAs. They're devoted to Trump, but Vance? Not so much.

Amy's avatar

TBH they would probably go this route if they thought they could get away with installing numbnuts Vance, then Johnson would move up to the "veep" spot, but it would diminish their numbers in the House.

They're like the parents who didn't know giving their kid a bag of gummy worms and a Big Gulp, then turning him loose in a toy store wouldn't result in chaos.

I don't think they know what to do about him because they are genuinely afraid of his cult, but they definitely don't want to be stuck with the "bill" for trying to "buy Greenland" or pick a fight with Canada.

They just wanted to stick it to poor women and brown people.

The egg shelves were empty in our local Target. With a sign apologizing and saying they are trying to find other vendors. How? There are only so many egg vendors and all stores are trying to contract with them. How are they "going to find" someone else?

I'm getting the same rude awakening feeling as when I went into a store at the beginning of COVID and saw people scrambling for toilet paper and the empty shelves. "Is this COVID for real?" I said at the time. Now, I'm wondering if we at the beginning of critical egg shortages and continuing higher prices? How will this affect the food industry that relies on eggs? Will prices continue to go up? Will Bird Flu spread among human population?

Our Safeway in Oregon was out of them because of Bird Flu problem in December, through Christmas. I haven't tried to get any recently, so I don't know if they are still having an issue, it's not on their weekly sales flyers anymore saying that they don't have eggs, so I assume they do. I just thought I would wait a bit longer.

When this current Avian Flu outbreak has run its course and the chicken population recovers and begins laying again, egg prices will settle down, like always.

Dead chickens don't lay eggs. So the supply is way down and prices are high. There's no politics involved in this.

Egg prices are going up because of the spread of avian flu, which is also why they're becoming scarce at the grocery store. Same with milk. That's why The Felon told Hannity that he doesn't care about the economy. His concern about 'groceries' and the prices of anything evaporated once the election was over. He doesn't need the MAGAs to vote for him anymore, so they and their concerns dropped off his radar.
