Reading thru the poli forum while on the 🚽 I find it Interesting that eggs, milk, 90/10 ground beef, and butter are far more expensive in New Orleans than you and the angry OP pay. Maybe your pricing isn’t for organic grass fed products, so not sure we are apples to apples. Regardless, we get fresh 16-20 count shrimp for $3-$4/ lb so I won’t complain lol . I’ll circle back to grocery store prices.
Hopefully, you guys find some peace the next 4 years. Will be interesting to see what the new admin can accomplish. I am optimistic. DJT impressed me in what he accomplished round 1, but I felt he struggled
when the country began to overreact to Covid. A major issue I have with him is trying to lead via social media. He’s still doing a little of that, but I noticed he hasn’t done so with cabinet nominations. Hopefully it’s a sign he’s taking a different approach in round 2. I didn’t love his selection of Gaetz for AG. His alternative lifestyle should imo preclude him from consideration for top law enforcement official in the country. For this type of position , it is my opinion that that appearance of prior criminal impropriety should be sufficient to remove him from consideration. Young whores and powder mdma are not AG-like behavior. DJT didn’t lash out and make a public stink when he met resistance. Rather, he communicated to Gaetz that withdrawal was in the best interest of the admin. DJT then made a fantastic choice with Bondi. With Hegseth, a bunch of virtue signalers got worked up that he boned women frequently and boozed heavily. DJT didn’t lash out or make social media threats. Instead, he got on the phone and spoke with senators. We have known for weeks that hegseth had the votes. Hegseth was very impressive in hearings. Very sharp. He will perform well in this role imo. I bring up these examples as I think it may be a turning point in DJT’s political career. I thinks he’s finally playing the game well. Looking forward to his energy policy. I’m also hopeful that border laws are enforced, all illegals with any criminal background in the usa are deported, and the relative global peace we enjoyed in his last term is not only restored, but built upon. DJT worked well with Biden admin to calm down Netanyahu. In a vacuum I’d be all in for Israel hunting and hilling every living member of hamas. But, for the betterment of peace in the region, I like that they forced this deal. Props to Biden’s people for allowing DJT to assist given his enormous sway with Netanyahu. Next, he should , with aid of majority republican congress ending the gratuitous funding, sway Ukraine to cede land in exchange for peace. My guess is the Russia Ukraine war will be resolved this year. I am very much so on board with this, as are 54% of Ukrainians and an astounding 90% of Europeans by the most recent polling I read.
going back to grocery pricing, One thing I’m concerned about with DJT is inflation. Djt picked up a ton support over inflation. He needs to realize this. I think he can do great things with energy, immigration and global peace, but at the end of his term the general public will be mainly interested in their grocery bills. I currently (way too early) lean to Vance as my choice for the next POTUS. His, or any GOP candidate’s chances in 2028 will be largely dependent on grocery bills. The few guys I either know or know of in this poli forum have no concerns about their grocery bills. An extra 50 bucks weekly won’t affect them. Problem is, most people in this country live check to check. A recent mind blowing example is some of those who work in my wife’s department at the hospital didn’t received their last paycheck direct deposit on friday if they bank with Cap One. Apparently cap one system was down. They are well paid doctors and therapists so I was shocked when my wife told me last night at dinner that 2 of her friends have less than $50 in their account and fear they’ll miss payments of bills on auto draft. A one day delay in a 2 week paycheck causing that much disruption for well to do professionals was eye opening. Anecdotal? Sure, but my guess is this issue is widespread. Let’s hope DJT recognizes this
With all of that said, if the dnc gets their head out of their ass and stop pandering to anti-Jew democrats, they’ll run Shapiro in 2028. Unless this admin hits a ln absolute home run this term, I struggle to see any republican beating him in a national election.
