GOP Senate candidate On Rising Gas Prices: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks"

[senseandsensibility]

These people have some nerve. She went on to say that we should all try to be "patriots" about this.

Out of touch, patronizing, stupid. I hope she loses in a landslide. Her name is Michele Tafoya, running in MN.

2. Says the woman who was likely paid pretty darn well as a sportscaster

Michele Tafoya candidate for US Senate Minnesota (I believe)

11. You mean she's not a "woman of the people"?

I'm shocked I tell you. And what gets me is that people like this don't even feel compelled to tell people what they are supposedly getting for their money. I know nothing about MN politics, but I hope she is not ahead in the polls.

3. Fewer toys for your kids, no avocado toast, one less trip to Starbucks

Austerity for the patriots! Stop complaining!

And send us an additional $200 billion for the war we started without any good reason! Imminence is subjective. Forgiving student and healthcare loans is a waste of money and a moral hazard. We need $200 billion more to kill bad guys!

Learn to code. Wait, scratch that. Learn to gamble on random events!

9. And Give Ozempic To Our Fatty-Fat Generals!

4. Okay

1 less trip to Starbucks for me. I will now go once every 10 years, instead of once every 5.

What can I get with that savings? A gallon of milk every 10 years?

5. If you're a patriot

you won't complain.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. May as well have said "Just eat less lobster".

[Traildogbob]

7. Sure

Let the tax payers, sacrifice travel….to work, only give one baby doll or GI Joe, eat one flower of broccoli a piece of chicken (defined as one McNugget) and for the big meal eat Liver. Not steak. But his sperm creatures and The Kush and most of this killing machine cabinet, as well as baby raping Jesus fans, get fucking sick rich, while our soldiers die, and all our taxes fill their buckets, now asking for 200 billion more. Fetterman will get it passed.
How many times has Trump gave a a price tag of something (never something for us with our taxes) and that price tag spirals out of sight.
Believe me, this I can tell you, that 200 billion on top of the 1.5 trillion military budget will become another trillion as “we” gain nothing but hate for MurKKKa by the world. Except Putin.
Just God Damned the GQP and it’s shit eating grinning media feeding us pure shit.
We could fertilize the entire American farms with the shit they feed us, being no fertilizer will get here from the Strait of Hormuz.

14. Again

But they never learn, do they? I wish I knew if this person had a chance of winning in MN. It doesn't seem like she would, but who knows?

[Ritabert]

16. Given what MN has been through the last few months I doubt they'd vote for her.

[Johonny]

10. She lost her side line looks

And now is ugly inside and out. Sad.

[Mysterian]

12. Lost her what?

Some of the linebackers looked better to me.

13. Speaking of patriots, I have to mention a "patriot" I saw today at the local store. He was old and obese and had

Meal Team Six coming out his pores. Dressed in camo from head to toe with one exception: his tee shirt. Faded blue with a red, white and blue flag motif, it read "Concealed Patriot." I took that to mean he was an advocate for concealed carry and was too stupid to know he was advertising the presence of his concealed gun. Idiots.

15. It's her "let them eat cake" moment. What a jerk!
