The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Every lawyer will tell you they only ask questions they know the answers to. And...when questioning *your* witness, only ask questions you know the *witness* knows the answers to (and that those answers are what you want the court to hear).

Alas. George Stephanopoulos. The former Clinton mouthpiece who is somehow employed as a "journalist". He keeps trying to drive a narrative...and he keeps getting punked by reality.

Here's George S trying to get Wal-Mart's CEO to say that PRICES ARE WAY UP AND AMERICANS CAN'T AFFORD THANKSGIVING TURKEY YOU GUYS. But:

X (Twitter): Curtis Houck on X: "WATCH: ABC’s George Stephanopoulos tries to get Walmart’s U.S. CEO to bash Trump and claim the economy’s in a tailspin. CEO John Furner was

WATCH: ABC’s George Stephanopoulos tries to get Walmart’s U.S. CEO to bash Trump and claim the economy’s in a tailspin. CEO John Furner was not having any of it.

First, Stephanopoulos tried to argue turkey prices are way up, but Furner replied Walmart’s turkeys will be their *lowest since 2019* and the price of their Thanksgiving basket for ten will be $14 *cheaper than last year*


Hahahahahahahaha!
Talk about faceplanting on live TV.

George tries again:

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos then tried to have Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner bash President Trump as harming the economy with his tariffs.

Furner again disagreed, saying “two-thirds of what we sell is either made, grown, or assembled in the United States” and they currently “have about 7,000 items” on Walmart’s trademark Rollback pricing


We don't import Thanksgiving turkeys, George.

Being a liberal with a narrative to drive, he tries one more time (because liberals never just Fail once, it's always 3 times):

X (Twitter): Curtis Houck on X: "Stephanopoulos tried one last time to have the Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner attack the Trump administration, arguing Americans “are tighteni

Stephanopoulos tried one last time to have the Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner attack the Trump administration, arguing Americans “are tightening their belts right now, borrowing more to pay bills, falling behind on credit card payments,” and wondered if that’s affected the company.

Furner again rejected this is happening, arguing Americans are “very resilient” while also wanting “quality” and “value”


Hahahahahahahaha!

And just to remind you people: eggprices.org - National data

Egg prices today are cheaper now than at any time in the last 10 years.

liberalism. Failure on steroids.
