If you’re going to lie about something on video, at least check what’s in the background first.

    He could’ve said $3 eggs, and he’d still be lying.

    Egg prices are up across the globe because of bird flu. If the Biden administration wasn’t reimbursing farmers and increasing inspections, supply would be even worse, and prices would be even higher.

      ^^ This is the reason, but MAGA needs talking points desperately. They have been reduced to lies and Haitians eating your pets.
      They would like to push the “border crisis” more but people might realize that the GOP is responsible for the crisis since they refused to pass a bill Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford developed to resolve it.

      Across the globe is a stretch. They are 5% cheaper year over year in the EU and the recent week over week is within the norm for seasonal changes.

        Prices across western nations are mostly floating in the $3 to $4 usd range.

        Also, to see the impact of avian flu, you’ll want a timeline that goes further than YoY data. 2023 was hit really hard by avian flu.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
