Foes Like Trudeau

Sigh... it's been a eventful and shitty few weeks

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago

I despise Trump more than I like eggs. If Trudeau tells Trump to fuck off, I’ll manage just fine.

I’m concerned for small restaurants, though. That business is tough enough as it is, and you know that local businesses will be on the bottom of the list.

Trudeau should have Canadians lob eggs over the border. Really give trump the finger lol.

I'm pretty close to the border, I volunteer

In a sense, the orange utan delivered on his promise: when you can't buy any eggs, you don't spend a single dollar on eggs. Hard to make them any cheaper...

Why is no-one pointing out that he has not only failed on his promise but actually made it worse? Shouldn't the media have an egg price overlaid on every broadcast?

Let him beg. Please tell him to pound sand. I haven't had eggs in a month and I'm still alive.

Is this after tomorrow when his tariffs kick in. I'm sure Canada will be more than happy to ship eggs to us, right after they slap on their own tariffs.

Yep. I need to watch my cholesterol anyway.

Sure, Rapey-Boy, you can come get 10,000,000 eggs. At $5m a piece. Ha ha ha ha ....

Great. These eggs should be traded for security guarantees and weapons for Ukraine.

While this is hilarious, folks need to remember that eggs are used for national security as a vaccine ingredient.

[–] DrownedRats@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Vaccine ingredients you say? Someone gey RFK on the phone, I have an idea on how to lower the cost of eggs!

Blackmarket eggs, here we go!
