Minnesota Senate nominee Michele Tayofa on the Iran war: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further. Until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again, let's just try to be patriots about this."

Mendacious, pandering bitch. Because the semi-rural "health care" system in this shithook town is hollowed out, I just burned half a tank driving 100+ miles down the Sacramento River Valley and back for the care I need. I haven't downed Sbux swill in years; should I have some fuel credits built up?

They wouldn't be saying this if Democratic pres started a war, closed the Strait, and imposed tariffs so that everything is more expensive. They would never say "be patriots" about this. Plus it's presumptive of them to assume anyone who is struggling is going to Starbucks.

Her kind of “patriotism” has nothing to do with me. She’s dying to get on the 🐘 $ train. I served this country for over 25 years and have never been more embarrassed till the orange moron and all his lackeys came along. With abundant fear for our democracy, I dissent.

I continue to see my fellow Americans suffer and lack basic services and essential needs, all so some insecure men can blow up innocent brown people halfway around the world Sorry, I’m not being “patriotic enough,” having done this before for Iraq, Iraq (again), Afghanistan, and now Iran

There was a time where being a patriot in the face of tyranny meant a hell of a lot more than skipping a few cups of coffee. It was more tar & feathers, rope, and ravens eating well for days on end. The GOP is lucky we aren't the people they say we are... until peak paradox of tolerance hits.

A grand total of ~402K voted for all the candidates in the Republican primary US Senate race. Flanagan received ~411K votes on her own as the Democrat opponent. Another ~275K voted for Craig in that race. She’s toast. 🍞

I expect Flanagan will win Minnesota pretty easily because MN is still a lean blue state and this election will be favorable to Democrats overall. But I don't think primary turnout numbers mean much. The Democrat primary was much more competitive than the Republican primary, which affects turnout.

Remember when Biden and Fauci were asking Americans to patriotically and for the sake of all humanity, wear a mask and get the vaccine. Cost nothing. The GOP refused and an extra 700000 died. So fuck off michelle and all fascists.

I wonder how Starbucks feels about this 🤣 In all seriousness, how many years have they been telling us to just make small cuts, omit little treats and extras, without addressing the fact that half of us have already done that?

Yeah because one less trip to Starbucks is going to make all the difference. As opposed to starting an elective war, that there is no end plan for, and which you definitely haven't lost. Patriotism doesn't beat realism. And Patriotism doesn't mean "The President Wrong or Wrong "

Another Trump apologist. “One piece of chicken” or “two dolls”. They seem fine telling you what YOU should have to do to fix things THEY broke.

Maybe you should be patriotic and buy an Electric Vehicle to relieve the pressure of opening the SoH for tanker traffic… Maybe you should be patriotic and trade in your oversized F350 truck for a tiny hatchback to reduce fuel usage…

What Tafoya fails to understand is that "this thing" isn't going to be over until Trump waves the white flag unconditionally or leaves office. And she ignores that it isn't just gas prices causing national pain; it's pretty much everything.

Maybe #KingCorruption tRump has released a new dictionary to go along with his bible. Patriot: the official Republican definition is one who defends a corrupt, convicted felon, and pedophile as the king of the Republican party. Republican = Regressive, time to rebrand the party.

Maybe haul this administration's ass in before Congress to inform them & the Nation where the off-ramp is. What is the justification for maintaining troop levels/equipment in the Middle East? This debacle is costing tax dollars, the morale of our armed forces and eroding global economes.

Michele, we weren't all blessed to make bank as a sideline show girl. Have some empathy for people struggling to make it. And it's not patriotic to support a criminal, fraudulent government with money and resources we don't have

Oh my God, if you can't blame the war on Biden or Obama, then you blame it on sawdust coffee. MAGA Fascist Conservatives you've gone too far. Don't mess with my coffee...

FFS. It's absolutely incredible. With Conservatives, the burden is always on the U.S. people, the same people who absolutely did not want this war in the first place! At this point, I seriously think Trump and his administration are attempting to cull the U.S. population via their policies.

Reminder: "This thing is over and these gas prices come back down again" only when Republicans like Michele Tafoya are banished from office.

This was the foolishness they were pushing on gen z like younger people could skip some lattes and buy a house (in a trillion years). Let’s see how gen x and boomers like it now that this nonsense is aimed at them, too. It’s the GOP’s fault the US is in this mess. Just vote blue. 💙

Sure is weird how the GOP pretend that people are just consuming TOO MUCH and can go without, but they also don't give a shit about those who can't, who it will harm the most. Disgusting and empty.

Rofl he destroyed our lives but want us to be patriots for the team? The team being a foreign country that is committing genocide and ran a pedophile extortion ring of our government and spends millions keeping us colonized.

This is a stupid statement, but realistically MAGA and Repubs respond to pitches that are about being patriotic. It's easy for Repubs to write off voting stupidity with 'I was just being patriotic'.

Gee, that's a change in rhetoric. At first the war was going to last 2 weeks & gas prices would go to zero, or even less, thanks to the brilliant machinations of Donald DumBBBass. Now all good "patriots" should just suck it up. DumBBBass has painted himself into a corner here. Tough luck, Michele.

A master class in how to turn a plum ESPN announcing gig into defeat and embarrassment by Michelle Tayofa. With that surname and tan, best steer clear of ICE. Else a free plane ride to El Salvador.

I just completed a 6 week course of daily radiation treatment for squamous cell carcinoma that metastasized to my salivary gland, driving 70 miles round trip to the cancer center near me. Sometimes you can't skip a car trip, ya cow!

According to Iran the war will continue until Trump is gone. So unless we like out and he dies that’s another 2 1/2 years of high gas prices. That’s a lot of missed Starbucks

Peasants, stop complaining! Look at how Donald and his family are sacrificing for you! No salary for him! In fairness, he does charge us hundreds of millions for his golf games and he has pocketed a couple of billion in thinly-veiled crupto bribes--but he goes without a salary. Just ask him!

'Everything will be just fine if you all would just *qUiT dRiViNg To StArBuCkS*!'😳🧐😶🤦🏼‍♀️ Her Dem opponent, Peggy Flanagan, needs to air that clip from her wacko out of touch opponent everywhere!

The USA is back to being told to buy fewer fancy coffee drinks, fewer dolls, fewer pencils and eating liver and roadkill as Bobby the Brainworm suggested, just to make certain the car fumes last a few extra miles when gas is $4.23 a gallon, $1 more than last summer.
