Now if Democrats were politically savvy, which they aren't, and could actually understand the average American, they'd be hammering this point about Republicans not bringing down prices until the next century.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

That would require the help of the media, and we all know that's not going to happen.
Doesn’t really matter. Republican voters won’t hear it from any of their info sources.
The sad fact that we let a propoganda outlet fester for 3 decades without so much as even calling it out.
Where’ve you been? It’s been called out since its inception, and ramping up in intensity as time goes on and it gets worse.
It literally just makes them watch harder because “if they hate it so much it must be true!”
I guess I should have been more specific. The US government should have been forced to sue to shut it down at some point on behalf of American interests. Then all of that should have been public.
Yup. They are coddled in a media system that won't let them know any real facts.

So, he's not even in office and already squirming out of his promise...
Did not even wait for his throne to be able to uphold he tried something.
Perhaps he'll say he had a concept of a plan but it was bad.
Donald Trump breaking a promise? Whatever will happen next?
I guarantee that the only promises Trump is going to keep are the ones that will reduce consumer projections, increase profits for corporations, and make the rich richer.
Also, race-based oppression leading to mass slaughter with governmental backing.
Which is what Americans voted for. Because eggs are a bit expensive.
And bring polio back to the US, because eggs are expensive.
Serial liar admits to lying. gasp. No wait, let me try again....ahem...gasp. yeah no. Just can't work up even a bit of fake shock.
If only everyone had some warning that he lies a lot!
As a matter of fact, grocery store prices will likely become far worse because of his tariffs and deportation policies.
It’s always the opposite with this cotton-headed ninny-muggins.
Even if he weren't evil and a liar, it's proven he's an imbecile of the lowest order only a tier above his supporters.
Right. Dingus probably has zero idea of not only how inflation works, but how the price gouging was being done by elites and being blamed on "inflation".
where are those shifty italians when you need them?
Regrettably, awaiting trial.
Yeah, no kidding.
Gonna have to get a soundboard app where I can load up that Samuel Jackson clip....anyone have good recommendations?
My advice: Buy large bags of beans and rice, you’re probably going to need them.

You counteract inflation by making sure people’s wages also change to reflect the new value of the dollar. Which they haven’t.
Prices don’t come down unless you enter a period of deflation. And if you thought inflation sucked, deflation sucks even more. Especially for a nation of people who hold a lot of debt. As the value of current grows, so does the value of your debt. If you have debt, your debt burden increases.
Oh look, the well-known con artist that you voted for in hopes that he would not con you has conned you! What a surprise!
Now we're all stuck with this scumbag. I hope you're all happy.
but what will happen to that stupid old lady he keeps yapping about ... will she buy just two apples instead of three?? someone think of the imaginary old lady !!
so he's not president yet and already backing out of his election pledges... we can only hope it'll piss off his electorate, but it won't, they'll just get angrier at opponents
I love that we treat politics as team sports. Even the use of the word opponent implies you aren't working toward common goals.
that's just the thing comservatives turned the entire system into game "us vs them" and liberal joimed in a bit later as they lack the capacity to redefine the game. Progressives get shunned by their respective wings and orthodoxy gets entrenched making it even more of "us vs them". I'd love to find a way to abolish parties and force representatives to actually represent all people from their electorate area... but I'm a dreamer.
They stopped working together decades ago.
They now work exclusively for their corporate overlords. The rest is a dog and pony show for the voters.
He didn't so anything of the sort. Does no one read the articles?
And the article reads like a Trump endorsement. Those quotes will sound great to your average American without context.
I for one never saw this coming.
