A lot of Restaurants and Other Businesses are about to go out of business. Food is just too expensive and no one eats out any more.
Covid really put this place out. We've been printing tons of money ever since then to keep things functional. That's where all the inflation comes from.
Printing Money.

This is a legitimately insane response to the claim that the "illegals" are being put in detention camps.
Also, crediting any president for the sharp rise or fall in egg prices is silly. Egg prices have been rising over the last few years due to a drop in supply from a bird flu outbreak, and recent drops in prices have been due to a combination of recovering supply, increased egg imports, and decreased egg exports...all of which are decisions made by egg producers and suppliers, not from presidential action.
Same thing with inflation. Economists generally agree that the inflation spike in the US was part of a broader world economic disruption in supply chain and global energy prices from a combination of Covid and the war in Ukraine, and the decline in inflation is due to the concerted efforts of the world economy toward recovery from those events. This is easily verified by looking up inflation rates since 2020 for major nations in the world economy, and shows a clear trend towards recovery starting in 2023, not with the inauguration of a new US president.
Also also, TDS...really? This is just some bullshit that people throw out when they don't have a legitimate counter argument. Everyone else here is trying to point out issues and counterarguments, not telling you that you have "Trump induced boot-licking disease" any time you post something legitimate.
Somebody needs to change this thread title. This isn't politics, this is tribal shit-flinging.

I may be insane.I can accept that.
And don't blame me because the medina has always pointed the finger at the admin in charge for inflation interest rates and ecom results good bad or ugly. Just how it's always been. As for as TDS goes it's a term I'll use every time I see leftist media lies being believed by whom ever is to brain dead to seek out truth.
Also find it funny how egg prices were high when Trump took office.30 day in the dems were blaming Trump for the price not falling. Months later prices are down and it has nothing to do with Trump. LOL
As I said loving the drama.
ps.
I have much respect for you Data. Please don't take my personal opions as insultS. This is not my intentions.

No worries man, politics is a space I try to stay out of for the most part, and it's hard for me to respond without sounding like I'm attacking. I hope my last response or this one doesn't come across too insulting or targeted.
The comments on inflation and egg prices are directed at both sides. I think the left talking about Trump not bringing egg prices down was a sarcastic reaction to his claims that Biden somehow caused egg prices to become and then stay high, when in reality neither president was responsible for the rise or fall in egg prices, and that whole discussion surrounding the US presidency gives me blood pressure problems. It's just childish bickering between two tribes of people over something that is easily looked up.
Same issue with inflation. A global economic blip is being cast as the result of a specific nation's president's action or inaction...and used by both sides as reasons to hate on the other side's president, rather than focusing on issues that each presidential candidate has more direct control over.
These frustrations are not directed at you or your specific responses, more to the general populous talking about them when discussing presidents.
The TDS thing is frustrating to me specifically, because it feels like an overgeneralized cop-out term. Leftist media lies is also a very generalized blanket statement that can be weaponized to dismiss any claim or argument that the user of the term is either unaware of or in general disagreement with, without providing any valid reason for the claims classification as leftist media lies. In a political discussion, it's just unproductive and inflammatory. To me it feels similar to the left knee-jerking to calling a conservative a nazi or fascist for voicing conservative talking points, rather than explaining why certain conservative talking points might share common elements with talking points of pre-WWII german or Italian political movements, and why those talking points can be problematic or even an early warning sign of a dangerous shift in political rhetoric that we've seen before.
But then again, most political "discussion" online is just tribal bickering or unproductive trolling...so I guess I can also understand "loving the drama". Sometimes it's fun to just drop some shitpoasts in a 'serious' thread for the lulz. 
Anyway, I feel gross talking about this. I'm gonna go take a shower and make some coffee.

Not to sound like "that guy" but you must really, & I mean really fucking hate immigrants for you to still be trying to justify all this.
he wants to re-legalize asbestos.
He gave a bunch of tax cuts to billionaires, and he wants you to pay more money and not have Medicaid or Medicare anymore.
But oh yeah, he did deport that one guy with some hand tattoos that had no criminal history to a different country. Then he admitted that there was no justification for it.
Then he promised that he would never return.
Then he was brought back.
Unlike that baby with cancer that's probably dead by now.
So much winning?
I'm not attacking you. I'm just putting it out there that it's astounding to me that you would still be trying to justify these actions being taken.

I'm to bored of GC to respond to such ignorance. Dude needs to learn to read and source facts before posting.
But on a positive note. The US had it's first budget surplus in 20 years.I guess the president is doing something right.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's incorrect.
The surplus is for the month of June. The last time that happened was for several months in 2016 during the Obama administration.
The budget surplus that hasn't happened since 2001 is for the entire fiscal year. Currently, the federal budget is still in a deep deficit, and is actually outpacing the deficit at this time in 2024.
Furthermore, most economists agree with Trump that the reason for the budget surplus is mostly from increased customs duties collected from tarrifs, which most economists agree will be passed on to the American consumers of those taxed imports.
I understand that last part is viewed as debatable by some, but the first part is objective fact.
This should illustrate how everyone, including Trump and those trusted sources that everyone uses, will spin reality in a way that is patently false, and people like us are capable of and regularly do fall for it, and help that misinformation propagate.

Well damn guess I fell for take neWS. Figures since both right wing and left wing media were agreeing on something.
Can't wait til Trump's deportation numbers catch up to Obama's.Dem's will really start to full apart then. There will be 3.5 more years of pure drama to come. This is a fact I stated on page 1 on this very thread.

I mean, I don't think the numbers are what dems are upset about, more about the methods with which "illegals" are being identified, and the conditions they're being subjected to.
Simply being an undocumented immigrant is a violation of civil law, not criminal law, and entering the country via illegal means is a misdemeanor. Yet a large portion of deaths reported inside of detention camps are preventable with proper medical treatment, and there have been reports of rape and unusually long periods of solitary confinement, which is known to lead to trauma-related issues.
I dislike the idea of being treated like subhumans for the legal equivalent of a traffic violation, regardless of administration. I think we can all admit that no presidential admistration in recent history has been handling the immigration issue very well.

Sounds like pretty much any prison in the USA. Has been an issue for longer than either you or I has been walking the earth. Granted this is an issue that needs fixed,I sadly can't see why an illegal should be treated better than a citizen.
Better Over sight is needed across the board. Better and/or revised laws. But until then it is what it is.
They do have the option to self deport.

That sounds like some pretty circular logic to me, but you've made it clear your mind isn't open for changing on this issue.

OK, so that was pretty funny that you did that. What have I said thats a blatant lie?
Can you prove that anything I've said is not true? Cause you got proven to be a propaganda sock puppet immediately.
