Eggs became an issue because of the way our politics works.

MAGA morons started it and acted like the outbreak and subsequent control measures for avian influenza didn't have a role in the price spike and that it was all Biden and only Biden causing it.

Then, when Trump got elected and egg prices miraculously stayed high, suddenly they were chirping about bird flu. Sooooo the rest of us rightfully kicked it back in their faces.

Electricity, however, has been a longstanding issue (at least in my state) with year after year price hikes always justified with infrastructure upgrades and repairs that never seemed to happen. Likely because the board that approves the rate hikes is nothing but a rubber stamp. Same with natural gas.

It's a genuine problem that hasn't gotten nearly enough air time until this past year when Trump forced it into the open by tanking green energy subsidies and causing utility companies to jack rates and fees in response.

Only REALPOLITIK...

Yikes. Busted out the strop for that edge, huh?

You've repeatedly tried to stand in for ---- and give his wife's reasons for not wanting to visit Idaho and concluding it's not snobbery.
and I'm stretching?
LOL

Maybe she's a minority and doesn't want to visit a state known for being a white supremacist haven.

If the bar mentioned in this article has sufficient patronage from the town to stay open, doesn't that say a lot about the state of agreement of the people in the town? Is it snobby to find that repugnant?

Askin' for a Friend.

You're acting on a false dichotomy.

I'm saying that that is foolish.

Show me a single post of mine that supports the war in Gaza. Go for it.

Or I can save you the time and tell you you won't find one.

Because I agree it should be stopped and that the world as a whole has failed to meaningfully intervene in that conflict for a long long time.

But sure, I'll take that bet.

Ok, tell you what, if it doesn't get overturned I won"t post for 3 months and if it does you won't post for 3 months.

Depends on how farcical the decision is.

You're acting like we're still in a time of normalcy for our judiciary.

His political opponent and his party using their DOJ to falsely impeach, bankrupt, jail him and keep him off the ballot is far from "hurting his feelings." It also lead to two assassination attempts btw.

Jesus Christ this idiot is f*&^ing stupid. What garbage "news" does he consume to be such a braindead worthless pile of stupid s*&^ as this?

And they went to a highly liberal court to get a felon conviction knowing it would get overturned by a real court but not until after the election.

Except it didn't, dumbf*&^.

Is that how your "Democracy", that you cry Trump is wreaking, works Zed?

Holding people accountable for crimes? Yes.

I'll give your answer: "Trump is such a threat that doing all that and assassinating him is justified."

STFU you stupid pile of s*&^.

Yeah, the one or two decent breweries or restaurants or cool things to see isn't worth the rest.

But I guess that makes me a snob according to Ebs.

Grow the f(*& up, idiot. You approach the world with the angst and misguided, myopic anger of a child.

the answer is "retribution from being charged for fake crimes for 8 years."

Sure. If you're a terarded f*&^tard that should have been left on a hillside shortly after birth...

Because?

Flat nothing.

Might be some good stuff here and there, but it's not enough to make me go there.

I'm pointing that it's really not more than snobbery and you just confirmed it.

No matter what I said it would "confirm it."

Your California attempt only shows you're stretching, you're just not aware of it.

BTW how would I confirm anything if I've been there?

And that scares you so much you'd never visit Idaho for any reason? Coeur d'Alene is a beautiful place.
You'd let politics get in the way of an opportunity to see it?
Or is it real fear?

I wasn't the one who said it. I'm just pointing out it's more than snobbery at play and doesn't have to be fear as there are many other emotions that can be evoked by neo nazis.

In any case, I've been to Coeur d'Alene. It is beautiful and the town was at the time very nice. Skied the Rockies for the first time in my life on that trip at a place called Silver Mountain.

What are the other fly-over states your wife will avoid, ----?

Nebraska and Iowa come to mind.
