Another product on the Walmart site that spiked in price was a left-handed fishing reel. It rose from $57.37 to $83.26 from April to May, a jump of 45 percent, with a post on Reddit showing the two price stickers. Aisle Gopher's price history says that the price of the reel was $51.12 on March 14.

Another Reddit post showed an increase in the price of cocoa powder from $3.44 in May 2024 to $6.18 in April 2025.

He has lied repeatedly and vociferously his whole life, and anyone with critical thinking capacity knows/has known that. There is a lot to blame for this situation, Trump voters and all non-voters should not be immune from accepting their share of it.

I'd love to see this same perspective voiced with equal indignation when Joe Biden campaigns with black people and pledges support for BLM, but then doubles down on militarizing the police once elected. (Among other outright lies.)

Absolutely not. If you want people to vote for you, you have to give them something to vote for. Despite knowing the deep unpopularity of Biden's presidency and campaign, the Democrats crowned a weak candidate (wait no, two weak candidates really) who promised to change nothing about it. If we're being reasonable here, one has to credit Democrats' outright stupidity and obstinance in the face of a base demanding real change.

Joe Biden’s left testicle could be removed from his body, and it would run a better presidential term than trump

And this doesn’t mean Biden is a nice guy or represents something good, it’s just the less terrible option

Joe Biden was a genocide monster. The problem is that the entire Overton window of politicians the system will actually let get elected in America is composed entirely of genocidal monsters
