My wife scored the hit of my life time. The Fry’s Clearance fridge had four 10 oz filet mignons for $1 each!!! It was their last day. Something like a 90+% markdown. Timing is everything.

Whoa

[SaveFerris]

These stupid idiots.

We tried to tell them.

I hope they’re happy.

Campbell’s soup and Progressive soup went up 33 percent in one week at Walmart - about March

[thecodont]

The evaluation at 9.1% in a year is crap falsehood. In the last two years many common grocery items are at 180% of what they were.

Safeway: strawberries at $4.99/lb. Not even the organic variety.

Made in Mexico? I’ve tried the imported stuff. Not too good.

[Dr. Sivana]

Made in Mexico?

No. It had been marked 20-something dollars. It was marked down because it was about to expire. It was regular meat department meat.

[COBOL2Java]

Have no fear! The First Lady will announce free tacos for all!

"America laying down for voter fraud. We allowed it. Now, we deserve even worse."

Darn right we did, and now the voting booth has become a joke... If we think it was bad the last time, just wait till we see the next.!!

[Chickensoup]

We were warned

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Billions to Ukraine, nothing for ICE.

Billions funneled to corrupt US politicians through Ukraine

[Lazamataz]

That was witty.

[laplata]

That’s it exactly.
