Gasoline prices, for example, are lower than they were during most of Biden's administration:

Gas prices are so historically volatile I question the validity of using them as a metric of overall economic health. If prices are definitely better than they were under Biden you assuredly can give another example.

If it’s eggs though keep in mind the impact of the bird flu.

Who is or is not the President of the USA has so little to do with the price oil that it is dumb to bring up.

Actually, yeah, we're getting a little lax on the whole Trump Rapes Kids thing. Gotta remember to keep that fact where people will keep seeing it, until he sees justice.

Trump is not relevant to this thread (he won't be on the ballot in 2026), but just out of curiosity, what evidence is there of that?

Also, some images of Epstein's speed dial list got released, and there's an entry there blacked out that's just the right length and sort position to be "Donald".

So, guilt by (possible) association?

Trump is extremely relevant. We need a real congress that won't skirt its responsibility. Congress has ceded power to the Presidency (tariffs and etc) that is causing chaos for companies. We need a congress with the balls to investigate Trumps shading business ventures. We need a congress willing to stand up to Russia. We desperately need a real separation of powers. Having a strong corrupt president and a congress with no balls is a very bad recipe.

We here regularly bounce down into the upper 2 80's then bounce back up into the low 3 30's. No reason offered or explained.
