Yes We (Still) Can

 I saw the title and downloaded the book Yes We (Still) Can by Dan Pfeiffer to Kindle. Did not know that this was published in 2018. Disappointed, because we learned that "no, we could not rid the nation of the failed biz guy, TV celebrity, crooked, corrupt, immoral #45.)

Dan wrote "I'm not sure we can survive 8 years" (of DJT.) Now, we shall see. Does not look too promising. He said he would use our military against our own citizens. He is sending troops to cities like D.C., Portland, Seattle, Memphis. He has started using the DOJ to  extract revenge on his perceived enemies. He has not ended the war in Ukraine in one day. 

The book is about "Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter and Trump." It was depressing to read. Looking back, remembering and distraught that they put that man back in the White House. At my age, I might not be around to see the next presidential election. Not that there will be another one. A MAGA wrote on Yahoo article comments: Trump for King 2028.  They still love the Felon for a reason I can not comprehend. I guess he reflects them. Indecent, unintelligent, immoral, uncouth, childish, amoral. Too, too sad.

My next posts will be more quotes from this book along with my comments. 

The Left

 Reading Yahoo article comments on a Public computer, a guy (I assume it was a guy) wrote that "the left stopped complaining about the price of eggs now that the price has gone down." He continued that gas prices have gone down and there is no inflation in his area.

Um, does the (obvious MAGA) not remember J.D. Vance standing in front of an egg display complaining about egg prices? The image became an instant meme due to his quoting prices that were much higher than prices on display case.

I do not know where he lives (and why do I often assume the comments are from a guy?) because where I live, prices have gone up. 30 cents here, 30 cents there ~ it adds up ~ products I have been using regularly. I notice Circular sale prices are more than they used to be as well. Gas? I do not drive. My daughter just paid $2. something; but she had discounted price due to earned Giant Markets earned points. 

Yes egg prices are almost back to normal. But "the left" KNEW the increase was due to Avian flu, not due to President Biden's admin. Not that it does any good to reply to comments on Yahoo articles; but I would liked to have asked him about that JD Vance egg prices rant. 😎
