Coming to a liberal shithole city near you....

9th Circuit rules that National Guard can deploy to Portland, but legal questions loom

The appeals court overturned the ruling of a lower court judge in Oregon, which could pave the way for President Trump to deploy the National Guard to Portland.

I hope they get deployed in WA state...it'd make my move back more pleasant

Could you post any more words that show us you have no idea what is being discussed?
We're talking about what has happened since Trump took office.

Do you think Trump was POTUS when Biden was POTUS? Or maybe Biden is still POTUS now?

The chart YOU just shared shows food inflation INCREASING since Trump took office.
Do you not even know how a chart works?


Again, you show you do not even comprehend what is being said.

You claimed that gas was never as cheap under Biden as it is now, which was proved wrong. Then, you claimed the proof didn't count, while also arguing the POTUS doesn't set gas prices.

Now you are conflating inflation since January 2025 with what happened when Biden was POTUS.
Can you at least TRY to keep up?

All you did was compare Biden and Trump when things were being discussed about things they both did... now suddenly you don't want to compare. Why is that Rob? Because it proves the left is full of shit? I think so.

The chart sure does show an upward trend under Trump doesn't it and look, you are actually bitching about it. However, that huge spike under Biden was praised to no end by you. If you weren't a pos hypocrite shouldn't you be praising Trump as well? Maybe it needs to spike to the levels Biden had it at first before you will praise Trump?

I am not conflating, I am comparing... like you would do. Why is that a bad thing now Rob?

If it makes you feel better to believe it, live the fantasy.

What's your end goal? To have a peaceful meal at Denny's?

The price you shared when Biden was given the White House was the price gas was under Trump. Biden slipped into that price and proceeded to make them skyrocket to over $5 a gallon. Go ahead, call me a liar.

Some people have a hard time differentiating between normal fluctuations in inflation and huge extended increase in inflation. The chart helps, but even with that visual tool, some people still have difficulty comprehending what is happening with inflation.

So you think it's Biden's fault that Trump is failing to keep his promises as POTUS?
What exactly has Biden done since Trump took office, to make Trump fail?

Again, we have been talking about what has happened in the US since Trump took office in January.

And upward trend in inflation, after he specifically promised the opposite, WHICH HIS FOLLOWERS BELEIVED AND GAVE HIM THEIR VOTE FOR.

Does the concept of him failing to do what he promised confuse you THAT much?
You want me to praise Trump for failing to live up to his promises?
Yeah, you are DEFINITELY one of those entitled participation-trophy kids.

I am not conflating, I am comparing... like you would do. Why is that a bad thing now Rob?

You are comparing Trump's failue to deliver on his promises with recovery from recession?
Sorry, that's conflating two dissimilar things.

I hope the deploy to Denver. ICE, DHS, etc have been a lot more busy in the Denver Metro Area since Trump was elected.

Hey look, you just told me what I think then asked me a question based on it. Go figure.

Again, we have been talking about what has happened in the US since Trump took office in January.

Again, I am comparing, just as you did. Trump to Biden to highlight how wrong you are.

Which again you should be praising him for since you praised Bidenflation.

So the price existed under Biden, which you claimed it did not.
Ergo, you lied.

Got it.

And before you claim you never did it, the post looked like this:

And Gasbuddy says you lied.
Of course, they made the data just to make you look bad...

Oh now you want to use state averages when it supports your argument. It doesn't though. Show me where it drops below $2.70 under Biden. I didn't say it never existed I said Biden slid into that price from Trump and then made the prices skyrocket. Try to follow along.

Hey look, you just told me what I think then asked me a question based on it. Go figure.

Way to not understand how our language works.
Grad-school-level stuff, and you get confused by it, AND fail to answer the question.

Again, I am comparing, just as you did. Trump to Biden to highlight how wrong you are.

Comapring Biden to Trump to explain why Trump failed on his promises so far?
That's conflating.

Why not tell me about your land speed record, and compare it to how many miles I can mountain bike in a day?

Which again you should be praising him for since you praised Bidenflation.

I praised Biden for inflation?
Cool.
Show me where and when, please.

Things take time.

That's not how "immediate" works.
And, reversing the downward trend that had been happening for years is CERTAINLY no way to make prices lower.
You see, reversing a doward trend in prices means INCREASING prices. Basic math and chart comprehension.

Now you are denying your own post.
Thge post where you claimed a gas price never happened under Biden.
The post that was handily proved a lie.
Wanna see it again?

The word "never" is pretty damn clear in your post.
Were you using your own special definition of the word "never" that means "in the first six months of his presidency", or maybe that means "it happened, but I don't want to admit it"? Maybe you meant "I forgot it happened, and refuse to beleive it"?

Becasue "never" was surely not the right term, and causes you to be a liar.

Unbder $2.70 for the first six months of Biden's admin, until Russia went after Ukraine.
You failure to understand averages causes you to look dumb yet again.
