As unsportsmanlike as shooting fish in a 5 gallon bucket:
Did you complain when Biden's gas prices "soared" even higher? Your poutrage obviously is partisan.
Did you complain when chicken and egg prices "soared" due to Biden's FDA carrying out a massive cull?
Did you complain when OhBummer!'s ACA caused insurance rates and patients' "share" of costs to "soar"?
Dems have been yammering but doing almost nothing about "crumbling infrastructure" for 3 or 4 decades. How is Trump somehow to blame for 30 or 40 years of inaction?

I think I'm done here...at least for awhile
I joined this website on November 13th, 2006.
I have always said "I was born a Democrat".
I have voted Democrat in every election I could vote in since I was 18 years old.
I am very proud to be a Democrat and would defend it's principles with my dying breath.
And...
I have never felt more out of place here than I have since the 2024 election cycle.
I'm not going into why because it's just not worth the discussion but I need to reduce the stress in my life so I am out for awhile. At least until the after the election.
Last thoughts before I leave:
Progressives are Democrats.
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon.
Healthcare is a human right.
Billionaires are antithetical to a functional society.
Peace.

I hope my fellow Cavers don’t mind, but this doesn’t have to do with a specific post from DUmbassistan. I just feel the need to vent just a little on this warm Friday because I’m really tired of the Trump/America haters calling the attack on Iran “unprovoked”. The people saying so are either so stupid that I’m surprised that they are able to breathe without instructions OR are simply extremely dishonest.
Let me tell you DUmbassistan lurkers a story…
You have a fairly nice house. You have some fairly nice stuff; however, you realize that you don’t have room for all of your stuff in your house. Since, for whatever reason, you don’t want to get rid of the stuff, you lease/rent a storage unit in town to store the excess stuff. Now one day, you have a friend or family member at your storage unit doing some work when a gang of thugs attack. The gang of thugs destroy your storage unit and all of your belongings inside of it. In addition to that, the gang captures your friend (or family member) and refuses to release them. Granted, they finally release the friend (or family member), but the gang of thugs constantly call for your death and destruction. Then, for the next 47 years, the gang of thugs constantly either attack and kill (or pay someone to attack and kill) your friends and family. The entire time calling for your death and destruction. If you finally grew some testicles and decided to do something about it, would you be doing it “unprovoked”? Or would it depend on the party letter behind your name?
Gas prices soaring.
Food prices soaring.
Healthcare costs soaring.
Roads, schools and bridges crumbling.

Don Lemon just published his thoughts about the end of the Late Show. You'll be shocked to learn that he thinks it's all part of a plot, one in which failed white men are silencing anyone who challenges Republicans. Lemon says he was the canary in the coal mine and Colbert is just the next victim.QuoteThe networks didn’t like me asking conservatives hard questions. CNN didn’t like the mirror I was holding up every night. So they pushed me out. And I thought: if it happened to me it will happen to others. It will trickle down. Or up. Depending on how you look at it.
Now it has trickled all the way to late night television.
It has been three years since Don Lemon was fired and most of us probably don't think about him all that often anymore. But just as a reminder, Don Lemon was not fired because he was such a tough interviewer. He was fired because he was a prickly, arrogant man who repeatedly offended the two women co-hosts CNN had paired him with. Remember this?
