From the video:

“Let’s talk about eggs, Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning.”

There's just so much that's weird about that. "These guys" are his 2 sons Ewan (6) and Vivek (4). You're saying these kids each eat 7 eggs every morning? That's a lot of eggs. Think about it. 7 fried eggs? Or 7 hard-boiled eggs? If you're scrambling them, you lose track of the individual eggs, but what, he's cracking 14 eggs into a huge bowl, then scrambling them? Do you know how much scrambled eggs that's going to make?

If his boys were teenagers, maybe I could see it, though eating that many eggs every single day would still seem weird. But, at least teenage boys are known to have big appetites.

Even if you include him, his wife and their 2-year-old, roughly 100 eggs a week every week seems odd.

Then there's just the weirdness of saying "about 14". We're talking eggs. Why not "about a dozen"? Slightly more believable, and a more common number to use when talking about eggs. I mean, surely if your kids really loved eggs you'd try to reduce it to a dozen eggs per day just so you're using one full carton every morning. Then again, if you're buying hundreds of eggs per month, maybe they come on a pallet, not by the carton, so "a dozen" doesn't mean much to you.

It's funny how he keeps finding new ways to live up to the “weird” label without even trying

Did he talk about 88 of something after he said 14 eggs?

Liarrhoea - a continuous stream of shit that puiurs out of the mouths of Trumpist politicians. Lying is a form of breathing to these assholes.

Fascists tell more and more egregious lies and dare you to call them liars.

Dunno if anyone here would know about the moment on TV where the PMLN witch was complaining about egg prices in eggs per kilo

Because regular people definitely buy eggs in kilos.

"So tell us JD, how will you help lower the price of eggs if elected?"

Ok, good.

The egg shortage has enabled record quarterly profits and sales at Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), the largest producer and distributor of eggs in the United States. The company produces brands such as Farmhouse Eggs, Sunups, Sunny Meadow, Egg-Land’s Best and Land O’ Lakes eggs.

The problem, once again, is monopolies. Not enough competition means one company can jack up prices.

It's not clear if Harris will continue Biden's policies, but one of the best things Biden's admin has done is to actually go after monopolies for the first time in decades. Under a Trump / Vance presidency, I don't think that's very likely.

As a reporter, I'd ask him why, as a current sitting Senator, Vance himself hasn't done anything to help lower the price of eggs even while his colleagues in the Senate and the House are.

...Vance was not among those calling for a block of the merger of the price fixing grocery store..

"eggs, butter, some bread... whatever makes sense"

[-] [email protected] 37 points 7 hours ago

Well. At least they used the word lying in the title. The scare quotes don't help anyone but whatever.

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,”

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

If he has to create stories so that the American media makes the ambitions of the most vile, ruthless and reactionary sections ruling class look like the suffering of the american people, then that's what he's going to do
