    The article notes the NJ governor election where the truth is the

    prices. She promised to fix the problem. When elected she DID
    NOTHING but declared she fixed it. No decrease in rates.

    What does it matter? The feds always prop up the farming industry to
    wherever needed, like filling their gas tank with subsidies. Fertilizer
    can hang and the govt. will just add 9.2 billion dollars to each
    individual farm.

    That's sarcasm for your failed signal detection, Bradley Sherman. How
    much fucking money is the govt. going to put into farms before they
    recognize the toll it's taking on the free market? Isn't there any other solution like making people pay for their fucking food? The prices do
    not reflect the work farmers put into the industry. What is it, $5 for a cheeseburger? It should be $10. To pay the farmers for what they do. The
    govt. is just a sycophant to the public wallet and unwilling to hike up
    food to what it costs farmers in toil. How petty is the American soul
    who will vote for whoever makes cheeseburgers 50 cents cheaper. This is
    why MAGA is turning on Trump, and it's the only reason they are turning
    on Trump, because gasoline is $1 higher per gallon than it was March
    1st. Petty people who are afraid of socialism which could deal with some
    of these issues in a better way just because it is called socialism.

    What did we end up bombing?

    You only know what you've been told.


    LAUGHTER!

    Looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.


    Sorry but I won't deal with a person who cuts and runs every time I
    reply to a message.

    What a convenient excuse for you!

    Perhaps you should stop cutting and running and I wouldn't have that
    "excuse"

    LAUGHTER!

    Why would it be magical knowledge if you just know?

    So what did he bomb faggot?

    And don't forget your sources and what THEY say!

    =============================================================================

    "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

    All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

    "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

    Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:

    "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

    "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole."

    "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy
    from reality."

    The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received positively by TDS'ers.

    The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late- night comics and nothing more.

    Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."

    Then you should be calling for NATO and other countries to stop Iran
    from blocking the Straights. So far silence.

    Iran wasn't blocking the strait (notice I can spell it correctly and use
    the correct number; it's the "Strait of Hormuz")...

    ...until Trump needed a war to distract from Epstein...

    LAUGHTER!

    You must be joking.

    You must be uninformed.



    But yeah, run away from the topic.
    I addressed the topic.


    LAUGHTER!

    There was no need for any help to unblock the Strait of Hormuz until >>>>>>>>> Trump initiated a disastrous war with Iraq.

    LAUGHTER!

    Yeah, Iran was trying to develop a nuke to set off over your house and >>>>>>>> you're fine with it.

    Your evidence for that claim is what?

    LAUGHTER!

    What did we end up bombing?

    I have no idea...

    ...and you don't either.

    You only know what you've been told.


    LAUGHTER!

    Looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

    What is that even supposed to mean?

    I can't believe you.....

    If it looks like a nuclear site, has the characteristics of nuke site,
    it's a nuke site.

    DUH....

    But HOW did you discover it "look[ed] like a nuclear site"?

    Where did you get that information?

    LAUGHTER!

    Has the Trump obsessed media said anything otherwise? Cause you know
    they would.
