Is that the next chant
Poopy pants
ROTFL
Bring it
This is why Joe will win 2024
Trumpers all about childish poop and of course the rising stock market
Dow closing in on 36k
Whats not to like :-)
I bought Ford over a year ago when I sold my house
up 158%
Go Joe


Ed, you know 'the stock market' affects me more than most, and I am happy with its continual rise, but the runaway inflation (actual or perceived) will be hard for him to explain away. Of course the $10k or so i made from TSLA today far outpaces the cost of whatever today's inflation was, try selling that on the campaign trail.

Poopy pants is about as stupid as pee tape. No vote will change because of either.

But it fits Poopypants Biden like a glove. That's why it's caught on so quickly. He looks and acts like everybody's feeble old grandpa who poops his pants and has to wear adult diapers. And he seems to be getting worse by the day. He can't answer an off-the-cuff question without fumbling in his pocket for his notes. That's dementia folks.

Where are these empty shelves I keep hearing about?

I live VERY close to a Meijer (if you’re from the Midwest, you know Meijer). Basically walking distance. So close that I am there multiple times a week. Everything is stocked like normal.

We've run into empty shelve's and spaces that have tags but no product. But it started for me prior to the pandemic. The WM up the street is lousy about refilling items. Now that there are more issues with labor shortage etc., the excuses seem to cull the complaints?

But the second the pandemic hit here about 2 years ago, people came into town and bought all the tp, paper towels and some other products to make it more than noticeable.

My family in Alaska gets withheld products every week.

You should have seen Kodiak in the early 2000's, everything comes by plane or ship, and during foul weather mail doesn't even come for a week. Strange to walk through a Safeway store with zero milk or eggs.

I'm going to the grocery store in a couple hours. I didn't notice anything unusual last time. I think I'll see if I can find what's suppose to be missing.

They're always out of some products, but that's not unusual for as long as I remember.

I do not go to stores so I never see shelves but I'm running into problems ordering stuff online from Walmart. Just in the last five days three items that I ordered came back delayed. One of them was bird seed cracked corn and the other two were imported items. I cancelled all of it. delayed means they're having trouble getting it

Squirrels are real sob's around the black sunflower seed also. I swear they are little pigs, climb up inside the feeder and gorge themselves until the seeds gone.


Those squeelo's get so they demand to be fed, and if you don't provide they'll mess up your house if they can.

A squirrel has no concept of what a bird feeder is. To them everything is a squirrel feeder. My dog had no idea what the cat food feeder was. All he knew was it dispensed food.

Yeah, they are kind of like my ex, me me me. She thought everything was hers, turns out she was pretty close to accurate on that one. j/k hadn't had any misogynist humor lately. Hope that's not a banishment?
