An article the president reposted on Truth Social contends that inflation isn’t as severe as critics suggest.

    Fox News was pushing that Americans should get chickens so they can get their own eggs.

      All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.

      So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.

        Please don’t compare that cum stained dishrag with the likes of PBS, BBC and NRK.

          Why would do you want to get your apartments involved? The chickens are for you, not for your tenants. Just build the coop at your mansion’s backyard.

        It sounds like we have to deport those coyotes back to where they came from.

          Raccoons will brutalize them. Lost both of my chickens to a raccoon the size of a damn dog.

            My dog doesn’t mess with raccoons. And he’s a lab. I’m glad he keeps his distance, cause ya know, rabies.

      Fox wants people to have chickens. Nothing suspicious about this surely

      Sounds like a good way to spread avian flu, though I guess Fox News probably doesn’t care about that.

      Also there was an article I saw that ran the numbers, and it would take way too many chickens plus selling some of the eggs for that to break even for most families.

        Also, Fox supports coops.

        Note: the “p” is silent.
