So, Rob...
What was Charlie Kirk?

According to Team Blue, Charlie was many things: a racist, a Nazi, a fascist, a White Supremacist, a misogynist, etc. And those characterizations are certainly up for debate However, as bad being a racist, misogynist, Nazi White Supremist would be, there is Charlie Kirk was the one thing that was way worse than even all those slurs and it's undeniable. Charlie Kirk was the most vile thing ever: an open minded, hetrosexual, Christian, White Male Republican. Kirk may as well have been Satan himself.

Doesn't seem to have gotten you very far in life.
'Might want to try a new strategy.

One of your weaker backpedals.

Made even funnier when you get the details in the original post wrong.

What a sad life you must have. The need to put people down or make yourself feel superior all the time. It doesn't end with you, ever. What's your hangup man?

You have no idea how far I have made it in life other than me letting you know I have made it 51 years. What you measure as "how far" may not be what I measure. Do I need to fit some design you have for what you would call successful? Is that how you judge people?

Understand something. I am "living my life". I have been since my very early 30's. I have experienced things you wouldn't have the balls to attempt. I have been well over 230mph on the ground, 140mph on water. I have been 36,500ft in the air and 300feet below the ocean. I play guitar, ride motorcycles, drive cars, trucks, SUVs fork lifts, back hoes, tractors (big and small). I have shot everything from a .22 up to a 40mm. Bows and arrows too. I have swam with dolphins, sharks, alligators and manatees. I have done much, much more.

Should I have spent my whole life fetching coffee for a boss like you and wait until I am too old to do anything fun, retire and drive an obnoxious motor home around the country bitching at every stop that the food sucks? Hell no. I have no regrets. I am happy as hell I am not some pretentious egomaniacal narcissist. For some reason you strive to be just that.

I don't backpedal. Idiot.

The correct question is, are prices lower with Trump in office after 9 months in office compared to Biden after 4 years. The answer is yes! You can't argue that unless you live in your mom's basement and never go shopping. Food and gas are both lower. The only thing that went up is the cost of medical, and we have the dems to thank for that.

I'm sure you know better than the Federal Reserve Board, the USEIA, etc, but this is what they have to say about it.

The average price of electricity per kilowatt-hour has increased since the same time last year. Residential electricity costs were 6.2% higher in August 2025 than they were a year earlier, the latest federal data shows, while natural gas is up 13.8%.

Overall, energy prices are expected to rise, largely due to increased demand from the rise of artificial intelligence, oil and gas drilling, electrified transportation and overall increased economic activity after the end of the pandemic. The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects residential electricity rates to increase steadily by as much as 18% in the next few years, far outstripping the annual inflation rate of about 2.7%.
"Grocery prices are obviously not down," said Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

Grocery prices have continued to climb, despite the president's pledge on the campaign trail that grocery prices would come down. Prices for food at home increased by 0.6% in August, which was the fastest monthly rise in nearly three years, with increases across all major food groups. The cost of food at home increased 2.7% from August 2024 to August 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's nowhere near the dramatic jump of nearly 11.4% during 2022, but it's also inaccurate to say grocery prices are down.
the overall consumer price index has increased by 1.3% since January and grocery prices have increased by 1.1%," Strain said. "So grocery prices are increasing at a slower rate than the overall CPI. But they're still increasing."

Tell me: How did all the experts get it wrong? Were they hiding in their basement while you were out doing all the grocery shopping?

A while back, I offered up an actual comparison of prices of goods I bought at one point during the Biden administration, and compared them with a later order for the same items. I did so regarding a claim by several that prices had not dropped over the course of 6 months or so.

Do me a favor: Do the same comparison of one of your grocery orders beetween Jan or Feb and today. Prove the experts wrong.

I'm interested in your claim that rising healthcare costs in 2025 are to be blamed on the Democrats.
Care to give some more info about that? Data? Statistics?
It seems the m ajority of complaints are from Medicaid and elderly Meidcare recipients, whose costs are spiking due to Trumps "Big Beautiful Bill".
How is that bill to be blamed on Democrats?

I think Trump may lose this one, even with a stacked USSC.

Coming soon to the Supreme Court: Are tariffs taxes?

The correct answer is: Yes, even when they are also regulations. Whether the Court agrees could determine the future of presidential power.

The irony is palpable.

I know far more about you than you obviously know, or maybe suspect.

Understand something. I am "living my life". I have been since my very early 30's. I have experienced things you wouldn't have the balls to attempt. I have been well over 230mph on the ground, 140mph on water. I have been 36,500ft in the air and 300feet below the ocean. I play guitar, ride motorcycles, drive cars, trucks, SUVs fork lifts, back hoes, tractors (big and small). I have shot everything from a .22 up to a 40mm. Bows and arrows too. I have swam with dolphins, sharks, alligators and manatees. I have done much, much more.

I sense a good bit of bragadoccio here. And false claims.

You do it regularly.
And you also back down from any challenges presented to you. Or you ask to see pics of penises as a counteroffer.
Weirdo.

Not surprising. For some reason Colorado just doesn't want to enforce the law.

Democrats are pushing for civil war so much. So many people seem like they want violence. It's so much it's not even worth reporting on bc it's like everything else that's shitty now, it just keeps coming. It's the new normal. The country just keeps getting torn apart piece by piece by anti-American actors inside of our country, like these treasonous mayors and such protecting illegals. We're going to lose our country, these mayors who help illegals and criminals will also help terrorists if their goals align, like how the UK has fallen to Islam. The truth is white people are largely a world minority and the UN is activating a world plan to bring down the better built countries by destroying them with woke policy and replacement migration to bring down the average IQ and functionality of mostly white countries, such as the US and Canada and most of europe and Australia/new zealand. All this stuff ultimately comes from the UN and the biggest new world order single world gov planners. They have to bring the US down by wrecking our country in order for us to be weak enough to be controlled. Us being sold out to china is all a part of this same plan.

AI answer:

"The global population of people identified as White is a minority, with estimates suggesting that around 15% of the world's population is of predominantly European ancestry. In contrast, the majority of the global population consists of people of color, making up approximately 85% of the total population"

Won't stop them from trying again and again. I'm actually trying to position my kids for the forthcoming communist revolution. I was thinking homesteading, but farmers/landowners don't fair well during communist revolutions.
