“Republicans … have failed to actually deliver on making life more affordable for the American people,” Jeffries said to Dana Bash, the State of the Union host. “It was Donald Trump who promised to lower costs on day one. But we know that costs haven’t gone down in this country. Costs have gone up.

“It was Donald Trump … who said that he was elected not to start wars, endless wars in the Middle East, but to stop them – and then turned around and has gotten us involved in this reckless war of choice in Iran that has skyrocketed gas prices on the American people.”

    I legit hate Jeffries at this point. He himself has failed all of us in a myriad of ways, but that said, he’s right.

    Donald is pulling a Biden/Harris and trying to gaslight us into forgetting that we can’t go into a grocery store and actually buy anything anymore, or that our rent bills have doubled and tripled nationwide with no response from his administration, or if we go to a doctor we are legitimately risking bankruptcy. It’s been almost two years. Republicans own these problems now, and by giving Donald a blank check, they’ve chosen to make life harder for all of us.

    When your choices as a president make life unlivable, you can’t lie your way out of it. The rest of us do our own shopping, mind our own kids, and pay our own bills, unlike the multi-millionaire, insider trading assholes that make up this government.
