Top nine Dem/Media lies for 2021

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...oments-of-2021

My fav:


5. "How much does a gallon of milk cost?"

Few things demonstrate the cultural gap between the average consumer and the corporate media class so clearly as the cost of groceries.

Inflation hit a 39-year high in November, affecting the price of everything from food to utilities.

Boo-friggin-hoo, said the "professionals" who are paid handsomely to explain the news to the masses.

“Inflation and shortages of some goods are real issues,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman argued. "But much of the economic discontent seems to be based on news reports and partisan leanings."

"Why the inflation we’re seeing now is a good thing," read the headline to an MSNBC opinion article.

When CNN aired a report documenting the financial woes of a Texas family that says the rising cost of inflation has taken a severe toll on its pocketbook, members of national media scoffed, especially when the matriarch of the family of 11 said, “A gallon of milk was $1.99. Now, it's $2.79. When you buy 12 gallons a week times four weeks, that's a lot of money.”

“Are these folks bathing in milk?” asked Reuters senior correspondent Chris Taylor.

Said Huffington Post editor Hillary Hanson, “Beyond the obvious hilarity of 12 gallons a week it's so crazy to me that ‘cost of a gallon of milk’ is still such a reference point because I barely know anyone who buys ANY gallons of milk??”

Even the official New York Times Wordplay Twitter account got in on the action, tweeting, "I can't do today's crossword. I'm too busy carrying my 12 gallons of milk home."

Twelve gallons of milk per week for a family of 11 translates to roughly two-and-a-half glasses of milk per day, per person. It’s not that complicated. Then again, no one ever said journalists were good with numbers.“

Forget about the best 9 lies told to us citizens by a Republican.

How bout the best one.

1. We have this great healthcare plan.

Still awaiting this great plan since trump took office in 2017.

Still waiting on it.

It’s why the dems have the upper hand on this issue.

The republicans are visionless.

Re-instate all the good orders TRUMP put in place and Shit-for brains cancelled.
I have to laugh at these air head dems...THEY have all of congress AND the WH and ask the GOP what THEIR plan is?

Visionless? Better that than USELESS!

build back better (after we blow up the country)



the specifics can not be revealed until we pass the bill (as parts keep changing multiple times per day and NO ONE knows what is in the current bill until it gets passed)

Nine lies told by Republicans.
1. Jan. 6 insurrectionists were tourists just touring the Capitol.
2. Covid 19 is not much worse than a bad cold.
3. Covid 19 vaccine is ineffective.
4. The 2020 election was stolen.
5. Joe Biden is a pedophile.
6. Republicans believe in Democracy.
7. Trump tax cuts benefit the middle class.
8. That the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was the fault of anyone but Donald Trump.
9. Tie between many things.

The above is a link comparing milk prices from jan. To Dec. 2021 in select cities.

None of those cities had an 80 cent a gallon increase in price. In ten of them there was no change in price and in at least 3 the price went down over the course of the year. Nationwide the price of a gallon of milk went up by 16 cents.

Even with a family of 11 and with a 80 cent a gallon increase in price, the extra cost is about $10 a week. But how many families have 11 people in them? And how many people drink two and a half glasses of milk a day?

Milk price increases might be a drop in the bucket in regards to inflation, but factor it in to grocery price increases across the board, higher home heating costs, higher electric bills, higher gasoline prices, higher insurance premiums and deductibles, higher costs of vehicle purchases, higher home buyer costs, increased rents, higher durable goods costs and it adds up to families struggling to make ends meet.


For someone like mostie, someone who probably gets all kinds of government subsidies like food stamps, medicare, rent subsidies, heat and electric subsidies and some VA assistance, an overly generous postal pension, why would he give a flying **** if the next guy is struggling. Mostie a self centered SOB.

"you won't get COVID if you have these vaccinations"

Mosty will be along soon to add that technically he didn't say how many vaccinations you need.
