Trump = Winning

[Dos Equis]

 

    hey nitwit, when obama was in I paid 49 bucks a bottle for my eye meds now that trump is in I'M paying 211 for the same stuff. So paying 55 dollars for the same tank of gas that used to cost 35 is TDS. I guess it is  if TDS is = TRUMP DISAPPOINTMENT SYNDROME. Above is Trump bragging about lowering drug prices to historic levels. I guess you don't mind paying higher prices as long as TRUMP is owning the libtards.  as yakov Smirnoff said " What a country".  What happened to your latest poem, that you felt the need to include me in the mix.  Did you get Your trump golden phone yet. I'm hearing good things about them. What happened to at least he didn't get us into any new wars ?

Your meme says Hegseth was in the National Guard for few years?  Not true.  From Google:

As of May 2026, Pete Hegseth is the United States Secretary of War (having served as Secretary of Defense from Jan 25, 2025, before the department name change) and a former Army National Guard Major. He served from 2003–2006, 2010–2014, and 2019–2021, with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and a tour at Guantanamo Bay.Military Service Details:Rank: Major, Army National Guard.Branch: Infantry officer (Minnesota and DC National Guard).Deployments:Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: Led a 39-man Air Assault Infantry Rifle platoon.Iraq: Served as an Infantry Platoon Leader with the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (2005-2006).Afghanistan: Served as a senior counterinsurgency instructor in Kabul (2011-2012).Awards: Two Bronze Star Medals, Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB), and two Army Commendation Medals.Key Aspects:Education: Commissioned from Princeton University in 2003; later completed a Master of Public Policy at Harvard.Separation: Voluntarily left the military in 2021.

So over a decade and 2 presidents you've decided it's Trumps fault? Where does your boy biden fit, nitwit?

You realize that all new housing requires solar right? You also realize that these new houses are still required to be on the grid because the solar cannot provide 100% of the power typically required. So 43.9% of bullshit stat is what that is.
The population of the 4 countries you chose is around 18.4 million, Southern California alone has around 24 million. LOL horrible comparisons.

You realize I was not arguing with you. You should know better than I do whether the 43.9% stat is or isn't bull since California is your state. This was simply a response your post (below), intended to provide a little additional information about solar. 

Can't even power up a single state and somehow the whole world is going to operate on solar/wind power. LOL the delusions.

The information I posted about other countries was not intended to be a comparison between them and California. Apparently, you assumed that it was. It was simply additional information regarding the use of solar.

I never pretended to be an expert on solar or any other renewable energy. I do not live in California. Why would I realize (know)all new housing requires solar or that it is required to also be on the grid?

It is my understanding that even folks who have a reliable 100% off-grid solar system also need a backup energy source.

It seems to me that you are so used to contentious conversations on Getbig that you do not recognize when someone (me) is not disagreeing with you.

FYI, my home does not have solar panels, although more and more folks in my neighborhood have added them on their roofs. Our expensive energy is provided by Portland General Electric and Northwest Natural Gas. 

My only delusion is believing it is possible to have an amiable discussion on Getbig. Apparently, it is not.

That second post wasn't towards or about you, it was about people like Negrosis that believe solar/wind power will replace natural gas/oil. It's just not going to happen.
How is anyone supposed to know what your intention is by posting some off the wall factoid from google about a topic? By posting about other countries that are almost 100% on solar would indicate that you are trying to say it's possible for other countries to run 100% on solar. My response about population was to simply point out the massive difference in infrastructure that would be required in our state to come close to what 4 other countries are doing.

Your post was a response to mine. So, yeah, it seemed like it was directed at me.

I do not pretend to or say I know it all. What I do know is opinions alone, not backed research, statistics and facts are not worth much and Getbigers more often express their opinions, and not infrequently do so as if we should take them as absolute facts.

                            Hey, don't call me nitwit, you're not allowed to use my favorite nickname for a disagreeable person, come up with something more original like moron or retard.  in response to your Biden query, I ask you, what would you be saying now if Biden would be the one constantly whining about wanting a new ball room or just half the crazy shit trump says... I know he's playing 4 D chess, while us mere mortals are playing checkers. { D.A.R. V.O. } Maybe you should take a closer look at what's really going on.     { paolo zampolli }

So you didn't have any issue with prices going up while biden was in office?

&t=9s                 It wasn't to the degree that they have risen under trump, so not as much, it's a matter of degree. Where's this 2 dollar or less for a gallon of gas at, that he promised, where's the cheaper groceries and drugs. Okay I answered your question now answer mine. If biden would have done and said half the crazy shit trump does and says, what would you say?   also do you actually like paying the ridiculously high food and gas prices ? maybe you do. Did you get your phone yet, I hear that they are really something.

[chaos]

Geez funk, you take some time away from the politics board and came back with the same old stupid fake shit? You are a disappointment.

[Necrosis]

Prices went up everywhere during that time, there was something that happened. I can't quite recall.

This is self-inflicted. Because..... he is a moron.

                                      So gas didn't go up by nearly 2 dollars a gallon and we didn't start a war with Iran. it's all in my imagination. I see everything is fake, only believe what president trump says because he is a good and honest man...,   OK I got it.  well I guess it's time to bend the knee, fall in line so to speak. I hear and obey.

                        Breaking news: US inflation jumped to 3.8% in April, its highest level in three years, as Donald Trump’s war in the Middle East continued to drive a sharp rise in fuel prices.                                           So then gas actually does cost 2 dollars a gallon, I just can't figure out why I'm paying close to 5.   when biden was president gas would go up a nickel or a dime every once in a great while. the last few weeks it has jumped by the dollar a month, plus subsequent food price increases. Maybe they'll go down when that big beautiful ballroom is built. Let's hope so..

When prices go up, it is an issue regardless of who is in office.

  YUP.   Settlement: Hegseth later entered into a confidential settlement agreement with the accuser that included a monetary payment. Response to Allegations: Kennedy did not deny the allegation, telling Vanity Fair that he was "not a church boy" and had a "very, very rambunctious youth". He later sent a private apology to the accuser, saying he did not remember the incident but apologized for any harm or offense.                                    Seems like there is a common pattern here, among your heroes. as they say birds of a feather flock together.

Trump lying as per usual.
