    Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.

    Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.

      All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.

      So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.

      Sounds like a good way to spread avian flu, though I guess Fox News probably doesn’t care about that.

      Also there was an article I saw that ran the numbers, and it would take way too many chickens plus selling some of the eggs for that to break even for most families.

      If I keep posting this every time there are egg related political news stories, maybe it’ll come true?

      I put together a little short story about how I would like to see Donald Trump meet his demise. Drowning in eggs:

      The Eggsecution.

      The once-proud leader, now stripped of title and dignity, stands in the center of the barren, concrete abyss. The abandoned Olympic swimming pool—thirty feet deep, dry as bone—has become their final stage. Above, the gathered masses stretch in every direction, a writhing sea of anticipation.

      They do not jeer. They do not boo.

      They simply chant.

      “Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”

      It starts as a murmur, a low thrum of human voices vibrating in unison. Then it grows, swelling into a deafening roar that rattles windows, that shudders in the bones of every person present. A chant as ancient as it is absurd, a single-minded invocation of punishment.

      The first egg arcs high overhead, tracing a lazy curve before splattering against the fallen leader’s shoulder. The yolk bursts, oozing down his baggy, ugly, now-useless suit. A streak of yellow, the first of many.

      Another egg. Then another.

      Then dozens.

      The first impacts make them flinch, stagger—hands raised in a futile shield. But soon there are too many to dodge, too many to deflect. They curl inward as the sky rains viscous judgment. The chant never stops.

      “Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”

      Shells crack. Yolk drips. The scent of sulfur and shame thickens in the stagnant air. It coats their skin, their hair, their pride, turning them into something less than human. Something… egg-like.

      At the top of the pit, a child—no older than seven—steps forward. They hold their egg with both hands, cradling it like something precious. Reverent. With a deliberate motion, they lob it downward. It strikes the leader square on the forehead, exploding with an almost musical plap. The crowd erupts into a fresh crescendo of cheers, but the chant never falters.

      “Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”

      No escape. No reprieve. The pit is smooth concrete, slick now with raw egg and humiliation. They can do nothing but stand there, endure, become part of the ritual.

      Somewhere in the throng, a vendor hawks boiled eggs. Another sells cartons to the unprepared. A man in a chicken suit waves encouragingly at the crowd.

      The night wears on, but the spectacle does not end.

      It cannot end.

      Not until the last egg is thrown. Not until the last voice is hoarse.

      Not until the world is rid of this one, failed leader, broken not by swords or exile, but by the inescapable weight of public yolk and scorn.

      “Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”

    What’s funny is I was just thinking about how all the news sites are itching to drop their Easter egg story so we’re about to hear a lot more about eggs

      What’s even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I’d love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs…

        Yeah. I guess I always knew at some level, not that I gave it much thought in the past, that there was a chance fascism could take hold in America. But what surprises me is how friggin stupid they are. How can anyone listen to Trump talk for more than 5 minutes without their bullshit alarm going off.

      Goddamn this Biden economy! Poor little d was handed such a TERRIBLE economy.

      Every Republican says so and they would never lie. So do the maximalist leftists and the enlightened centrists, so it must be true. I’m sure the economy would have been even worse under Kamala. Thank Athena that little d and fElon are working to fix the terrible economy that Biden left them…

    Don’t pay any attention to egg prices. The economy is great actually.

    Now where have I heard that in the past few months?

      The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy. They are of course blaming the downturn which is thanks to little d’s games with tariffs, on Biden.

      Of course they also act like it was Biden out there strangling millions of chickens himself to mess with the egg supply.

        The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy.

        However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining.

        Sounds like centrists gaslighting people who couldn’t afford groceries and telling them that the economy was the most perfectest thing ever.

    Reddit is already fully onboard pushing this dumb fuck narrative, if you were doubting whether they were fully captured or not.

      Oh, I totally believe there are plenty of qon bootlickers aching to try to change the subject after little d showed himself to be a complete failure on yet another of his stupid promises.
