"stop eating cake!" Antoinette cried "my oak trees need water."
And that time with the dolls, the time with the pencils...they keep saying it.
You don’t need 30 dolls. You need two dolls.

Them millennials can't afford houses because they're blowing all their money on military operations and avocado toast
I know you're being facetious but it's worth mentioning that avacado toast ingredients are $2 for multiple servings.
Yep! Not only is incredibly economical, it's a healthier meal than most "traditional" American breakfasts.
Didn't stop conservative media from deriding it as millennial over-indulgence. Vilifying the millennial tendency of frugality + preference for plants-based diet choices by portraying avocado toast as excessive and soy milk as emasculating, along with a concerted effort to deliver narrative to the /pol/ audience, it not only swayed the opinions of older generations, but spurred parts of the younger generations to resent each other. I'm sure meat industry profits were also in the mix somewhere.
The only winners in the culture war are the ones who drive the narratives, and it's been that way in the US since radio was invented.

I love me some avocado toast, but unfortunately in the Midwest I usually see them for about $2-2.50 ea for a decent sized one. I've had a hard time with the ones from Aldi that are cheaper. They tend to be tiny and the window between unripe and rotten seems to overlap.
When them bitches go on sale for $1 ea? I'll eat it every day for a week lol.
And geriatric impressions of house prices were based on when houses cost 200$
Alexa, order another air strike please.
Running in Minnesota and said Starbucks instead of Caribou? Already lost.
Now gas prices aren't a problem. Funny how that works.
But what about the eggs?!??!!?
It’s always a smartass reply.
Someone needs to shoot back, “I don’t drink Starbucks bitch”
Or I only drive to work, so one less trip to work?
Imagine telling that to people who can't even fathom being able to afford going to Starbucks.
There is a group, unfortunately large, in the political sphere that can't fathom there being people too poor to go to Starbucks. Their world view is that the poors are only making 80k a year (which is poor to them). We have some really old, really wealthy, and really out of touch people in leadership positions in this country.
You could afford a house if you stopped drinking lattes!
On the one hand, she did start with sympathy before she made her stupid ass comment.
On the other hand, it was unbelievably stupid and in support of a pointless war in the middle east.
But for context, I can't imagine any Republican winning in Minnesota this year, so maybe she's just running a sacrificial lamb campaign to launch her career as a right wing grifter.

Yeah, given that her former job is "NFL reporter", there's almost no doubt that this is an attempt to get a gig on Faux News, OAN, Newsmax, or the like.
She was a popular sports radio host and former MNF sideline commentator. I think it's going to be tighter than I like.
Oh so she's made of bitch then.
I Voted for TRUMP because Gas Prices were OUT OF CONTROL under Biden!
-People who Support gas Prices doubling OVERNIGHT to Protect Epstein and other Israeli Pedophiles!
Starbucks isn't gonna like that.
Also. Who the fuck can still afford to go to Starbucks? Out of touch idiot
I mean we all like $11 lattes don't we
I don't really think we have time for a handjob, Joe
How retarded are these people
pretty fucking
Its crazy how the ruling class is able to say this with straight face
we need to make them fear the people
No Republican should be allowed back into office, ever.
Buy Starbucks and you are funding the illegal Israeli settlements in the West bank. Tafoya, the pedo protecting MAGA, can piss in the wind.
Caribou Coffee is preferred in most of Minnesota anyways.
How condescending.
Fucking Republicans. We all need to tighten our belts further because of Trump's pointless war against Iran!? Just like the tariffs we're all paying for, it's a policy failure we had no choice in. Republicans should never win another election ever again...
Ok, you heard her everybody! Time to boycott Starbucks!
While we are at it, might as well boycott some other frivolous things like streaming services, toxic social medias, and any non-local restaurant, on top of the other things we were already boycotting, like Target. And, wait.... why's the economy tanking even faster now!!!
Giving real jimmy carter energy. At least Carter was pointing to things outside of consumerism to focus on like community, health, environmentalism. The only thing trump was promising was cheap gas and watching his goons harass immigrants.
Doesn't even realize that Starbucks is a stop you make on the way to somewhere else.
and renounce your phone & television, eat one meal a day, etc
Ope. Starbucks won’t like that.
You, because I'm going to starbucks in a different state using this sweet ass jet
Couldn't you just say the old, "I understand that war causes issues for everyone, but we should support our troops. And meanwhile I am running for congress to work to lower all costs for American families," shtick and then do nothing as always? Like why do you have to be a condescending bitch dripping with disgust and condemnation for the poors? Gain some fucking perspective, you stuck up twat.

No, she's not running as a Democrat.

What about the dude yesterday that just suggested we just need to increase our take home pay.
I guess the answer was right in front of me all along…
And then if people did cut back on expenses, she would be complaining about how we're killing the economy.
