The Border Crisis: Is Allowing Illegals To Flood In A Good Thing?

He won the election because people said they were tired of inflation, especially inflation in things like groceries and energy.

Trump said he would “immediately” end inflation in groceries. He made a huge spectacle of it as is his wont.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” he said in August 2024.

Well? We’re waiting!

The truth is that he can’t bring prices down because presidents in the United States aren’t really in the business of general or specific price levels.

But Biden was punished for it and then Trump pounced and then lied to you guys. And you didn’t care because you knew that’s not how it works anyway. Your real agenda with Trump was never prices. You know what it really is.
You guys? What’s the real agenda?

There you go. at least that’s a reasonable complaint.
My complaint about Trump and grocery prices isn't that he hasn't managed to change the prices, it's that he's held to an entirely different standard than Biden about inflation. Trump promised to end inflation in groceries "immediately". It's this level of WWE charisma and promises to change the world that got him elected and yet now he's suddenly not responsible for his words and that inflation is a complicated system.

No, it isn’t and you will continue to look foolish saying it. Politicians make all kinds of silly promises and claims. Matter fact, Kamala Harris was making those kind of claims and you said you knew she wasn’t going to do it, but that was OK. Just like when she was going to supposedly control price gouging at supermarkets lol. Please leave again if you’re just going to be intellectually dishonest.

You’re complaint about the NLRB issue is legitimate. Let’s start there and start working on getting you back to reality.

I’m gonna give you a little more help on some real concerns that you can complain about.

Unions are in trouble. One of the first things to be undermined in authoritarian regimes is any other source of power. Unions are a source of power. That's why they are being undermined.
He campaigned on helping working people and union members. Getting rid. Of the NLRB is not the best idea although I don’t always agree with them. Not having one would certainly help the companies.

Looks like the drugs wore off. The anger is through the roof. We have seen this before and that is when he either changes his profile or takes a leave. I do wish I had the passion he has for BS 💩, but in useful areas.
You would think after all the fear and Anxiety he had over COVID and then again the election he would seek help.

Right, let’s complain about Trump not bringing down the price of groceries in one day or week, but ignore the insane amount of executive orders and aligning himself with questionable track and control, artificial intelligence technology corporations, who want to control our lives.

I wouldn't have the time to critique each and every one of these EO's and still make a living at my job. lol
No, but you’ll say something silly about grocery prices one week in? I’ve been trying to tell you for a very long time the left does their self no favors. I will agree with you when you say something relevant and meaningful. Unfortunately, I had to point all of them out for you so far.

One of the things Trump promised that he is doing quite well on even a week in.

I really think he is on something. Up most of the night ranting then took a few hour break and then right back at it this morning. He will do like before and either wear his self out or come down and realize the fear, anxiety and silliness he has posted and then go away in shame again. But it could take some time.

Executive orders are not great.

1. they can be changed immediately when the next president takes office.

2. The problem begins to be seen that you do not have the votes to pass legislation.

I understand the idea behind executive orders and they can be beneficial. But ultimately, they aren’t great.

Trump’s first term had some very questionable executive orders.

And so did Biden

Perhaps our presidents are beginning to feel like they are Kings? Thankfully, the Supreme Court ruled against both of them in very important matters in regards to their signature being put on an executive order.

I will call balls and strikes with Presidents when they do something good or bad or questionable.

But then again, I’m not here to score a “win” on MAGA Republicans or the Democrats.

Do the research…Unions have been persecuted from day 1… and it doesn’t matter who is in charge (Democrat or Republican). The power brokers have the finances and the Unions will never outspend them. I can say this after being in a Union for over 45 years both the Union and Company executives are cut from the same cloth, especially during the Hoffa years and before. They live in a comfortable bubble and if anybody upsets their agendas or asks the wrong question expect to be ignored or canceled. I had done minor dealings with the NLRB and the DOL and have seen how uneven the playing field is…How will it change for the better, maybe get self centered politics out of Union Leadership and provide the same wages and benefits to every member not just the status quo. The apathy among most of the rank and file may be terminal by now, decades of corruption and greed.
