Just did an online grocery deliver order for later today. I wasn't thinking "New Golden Era" [View all]

Minus the driver tip, the order was 73 bucks. We did get a number of items but as I looked through the cart I KNEW that it wasn't "SEVENTY THREE DOLLARS WORTH OF FOOD AND STAPLES."

Or, I guess more accurately, "THESE GROCERIES WOULDN'T HAVE COST ME 73 BUCKS A YEAR AGO."

And I am one of millions of Americans who is going through this SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, so...how the FUCK is Trump STILL getting away with his LIES about "Affordabilty?"

And yeah, I know, more people are challenging it daily, but it hasn't slowed down the lies.
