Feb 27

that prices are down.

Housing, groceries, prescriptions, medical insurance and energy prices are all down.

Our president wouldn't lie would he ???

He never lied in his first term.

He hasn't lied so far in his 2nd term.


This is the mindset of the Trump cult.

The politicians are doing it for money and power.

His supporters are paying higher prices for everything but swear that is a lie.

The usual comeback is the price of eggs and gas are down.

They are incapable of critical thinking.

They do not know how to research the internet for documents or proof of any statements they make in debates.

They accuse the liberal of always relying on facts as if that is out of the ordinary or an insult.

Many of them are cruel and extremely vindictive.

The 3 main or popular topics in debates are:

1. Abortion
2. Immigration
3. Trans people in sports.

The majority of callers who call in to debate are young males.

The majority think women have too many rights.

They are a sad dangerous mess !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
