"No no -- the egg thing was for getting rid of Biden, we're done talking about that now" -- The Trump Admin, probably.
What do you mean "probably"? I can look up the exact quote if you need but what you said was pretty damn close to precisely what he said!?!
Oh wow, I didn't know they actually said it! Lol, I tried to satire but didn't go far enough 😆
When they go low... we bust through the floor to go even lower! (My bastardization of a quote from Michelle Obama.)
When they go low, start digging
When they go low, start waffle stomping.
Sixty percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck and this twat is building a gaudy af stupid ballroom
You know they passed a law dramatically reducing social services and driving up the national debt with tax breaks for the rich.
Par for the course. Thank a right-wing neighbor.
He is turning the Whitehouse into Versailles
Choppy chop!
Whenever a Republican pretends to care about the national debt, they're lying.
Trumps is paying out of his pocket and an ~~donation~~ bribe from an unknown source.
Called the White House State Ballroom, the addition will be approximately 90,000 total square feet, which is significantly larger than the 55,000-square-foot White House as it stands now.
The ballroom will be bigger than the entire White House by ~35,000 square feet.
Room for infinite number of Big Macs and large fries.
Now that's the kind of sensible spending that people voted for
"Fiscal Conservatism"
When you squint you’ll see that phrase is actually “fascist consolidation”
Doge here, looks like we are cutting USAID now we have money for a ballroom and a Qatari jet
My grocery bill is much higher than pre-pandemic. I don’t even notice the egg prices.
Yeah. While eggs have gone up a lot as a percentage, they're still pretty cheap as an overall portion I n of the grocery bill.
Egg prices doubling isn't as bad as all the items that cost 5x as much as eggs going up 30%.
me neither. because i don't buy 'em anymore. i don't even go past 'em in the store.
Sadly they are still some of the cheapest breakfast options. 3 eggs is about 1.50 for a meal.
1.50 buys you enough oats to feed you for the entire day
You should do something to cheer yourself up. Ever tried to dance a minuet?
never gets old
When does the leopard get full from eating so many faces?
That's the neat thing. It doesn't.
Release the Epstein files!
I seem to recall that the White House is considered a historic building, and renovations need to be approved by Congress. It's actually been a problem, because there's a lot of wiring and plumbing issues that need to be addressed. Was this somewhere in the Big Murder Bill?
Oh, right, I forgot about what Administration we're dealing with. Of course he's going ahead with it.
Oh look. Epstein distractions.
Prices in Canada and Mexico didn't increase anywhere near this much even at the height of the pandemic.
Maybe Bird Flu is refusing to cross international borders. Or maybe U.S. monopolies no longer need to even pretend to compete and the producers are raking in record profits.
200 millions dollars for a fucking ballroom??? Is it made of gold? Ok, it's Trump so with his shitty tastes, yeah it probably is at least plated...
It's made of scam. Hire some discount jank company to do the job for 1/5 of that and pocket the rest.
650 people... adults or childs?
Teenage girls I assume
The childs are for eating.
I don't think that's what Trump and his friend Epstein were doing to the kids.
What isn't?
This country never recovered from the 2008 crash. Each new "correction" as econ nerds put it has just compounded the damage done back then and added more. It isn't going to get any better.
This is the right meme for the class war.
Adjudicated rapist, inmate #P01135809, formerly known as the former presidential placeholder but who is now currently known as the current presidential placeholder says: "Shut up about egg prices."
I know the federal reserve renovations were more expensive but it just feels like more hypocracy from this administration. No money to renovate a building that needs it, but gosh darn, we really need to spend hundreds of millions on a ballroom to be able to host better parties. And I have no doubt it's going to cost more than budgeted.
The plebs will dine on the happiness of the elite and have full bellies.
90,000 square feet for 650 people? how big are these people? /s
That's so that you can safely stay 12 feet from anyone else at all times once Bob Kennedy's vaccine-hating ways trigger another pandemic.
Congrats Americans!
And yet we're not camped out on the white house lawn, grinding the economy to a halt.
They built a couple more walls around the White House for some reason.
You think prices will go down once they go up?
So are house values
