a little closer, LYDsockpuppet...a little closer.

You're almost right up to my ----. Don't cheat yourself.....come find out what I had for lunch.

passing a stopped school bus is considered a severe violation in Kansas. You might not face the same penalty from the courts as you would a DUI but insurance companies treat it the same.

-The percentage who know this is false declined to 55% from 66%.

So quite a few folks went from not believing such nonsense to believe it?

Where is this coming from? It's not like Trump is running around talking about it.

DUI laws started in 1910. They were tightened in the 1990s.

Sycophant doesn't remember ----. He lied. He also doesn't remember conservatives doing anything.

-I still remember when they passed laws barring people from drinking while driving.

no you don't.

-Usually he demands money.

Not from the ultra-right religious groups. Republicans have been courting that group for a long time now.

the attempted assassination of Trump

"How many times do I have to tell you people it was a STAGED assassination attempt!"

-Zedshack

and under what tax structure would Kroger, and every other retailer, NOT do what they've been doing?

Some of you people sold your cars, and your homes for significantly more than you would have in 2020.

Are you guilty of what Kroger did? I'd say you probably are....considering the accusation is phrased as "Kroger hiked prices more than needed"

so did every homeowner. They sold their home for more than they needed. Whatever the hell "needed" means.

And how does one inject "trickle down" into a discussion about how much more Earthmuse pays for her Ramen noodles?

Other than to point out it's really trickle up economics....which I completely agree with, BTW.

-Oh, and have fun watching Trump get destroyed this November...

I will.

You literally have gotten everything wrong about me that's possible to get wrong.

seriously. everything wrong.

nothing right...whatsoever.

-But I won't

Yes, and the reason is obvious.

-Run back now to your country club, to your Lion's League, or your Elks Lodge, or whatever monied hole of bluebloods you trust fund babies crawl out of to periodically spit your vitriol and venom.

Good grief. Holy -----.

You are seeing a whole team of therapists, aren't you? That is a -------- of rage poured into a single sentence.

-And Eberly, if you were in front of me, you would get utterly destroyed in under one minute.

destroyed? are you trying to be taken seriously? Please......stop.

-I could argue w Eberly or another (true believer) Republican, until I'm blue in the face.

LOL

-Keep on grasping the failed paradigm...

what failed paradigm? do you know what that means?

Kroger raised prices more than what inflation drove and made more profit. From a PR perspective, they blamed it on inflation but it was an opportunity to make more. Period.

Is that the "failed paradigm" you're referencing?

way to completely run from the subject matter to throw some other kind of spitwad, little fella.

-It shows how scared they really are.

or maybe they assume the readers know what "up 175%" actually means.

if they are really scared then maybe they don't write the article at all?

You just sound like a spoiled, entitled person living in a city.

IOW........you're describing yourself

Republican logic "everyone else should live their way I do or else they're doing it wrong"

Funny coming from someone who consistently runs down anybody for living in a "red state --------".

In response to #54 Earthmuse

Earthmuse is one of those morons who prove with every post they have absolutely no understanding of basic economics

Companies don't price their goods or services based on what "they need". They base it on what they can get in the current environment.

I didn't see Mad paise Kroger for this but rather point it it's a economic reality. Earthmuse will have to do some research on that concept because he/she doesn't understand it. at all...

Clearly, it's politically a slippery slope when grocery stores start inflating the costs of milk, eggs, bread, etc...essential items everyone needs. This is in stark contrast to makers of boats, or ATVs or some other non-essential items for people of limited means. (although I saw folks of limited means go buy those items when they were handed stimulus money during the pandemic)

All of the retailers did this. Not just Kroger.

Nobody is saying greed is good...they're saying greed is greed (Again, referencing a movie about Wall Street is funny.....becuase again....Earthmuse didn't understand what Gekko was actually saying)

It's the way it is. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It's not morality....it's capitalism. It's being pointed out. That's not the same thing as being defended.

"STOP CALLING IT MISINFORMATION."

OKAY. I'LL STOP CALLING IT MISINFORMATION.

LOL

"Or maybe the cases were settled out of court or just never made it to the Supreme Court."

You're talking about civil penalties.....not criminal. I'm specifically referring to criminal prosecution and how free speech works in conjunction to that.

I'm not arguing here.....I'm not trying to tell anyone how the 1st amendment works or that people should get a pass for "pimping fatal actions as cures".

I think they should face criminal prosecution because of the malicious nature of what they are doing.

I'm just saying the law has protected people for being wrong for centuries. Or maybe it wasn't really the law but rather the unwillingness of the govt to pursue such folks.

-The folks responsible for The General Welfare.

The Federal government? Local government? The Secret Service, FBI, the Texas Rangers?

-Thats why you can't yell "fire!" in a theater if there is no fire.

Fair point. If my misleading information causes harm.....I can be subject to some sort of criminal charge, correct?

Your example was one born out of intentionally causing a public panic.

This whole ivermectin -------- is just a subset of all kinds of misinformation on the internet all day every day which is probably why those who are guilty of doing this have gone without any criminal prosecution.

-Is it censorship if they do, and shirking their constitutional duties if they don't?!?

who is represented when you say "their"?
