Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya acknowledged how “frustrating” and “hard” rising gas prices are for consumers during a Wednesday radio interview, but she suggested Americans should minimize some of their spending to support President Trump’s actions in the Middle East.

“I think right now at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip. Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further,” she told Tennessee’s KWAM radio host Todd Starnes.

    This brainiac has probably not been told how the cost of oil changes the prices of everything, not just elective cruises to get elective coffee…

    “We’ll screw them over by handing them a load of cash!” It’s the classic switcheroo. That’s so stupid it’s gotta feel embarrassing to say.

      if you can count it, it’s fewer. if you can’t, it’s less. e.g. i need less voltage and fewer capacitors for my project.

      crazy how many people miss that.

          not necessarily. I know far too many intelligent people who are hard-line conservatives. it’s just a lack of empathy, world experience, stubborn ignorance, or some combination of the above. Although, I do concede that the overwhelming majority of the populous that is uneducated is Republican and this is entirely my anecdotal perspective.

    75% of the US: FUCK. YOU.

    MAGA: Well, I guess when you put it like that. Maybe I shouldn’t be getting coffee at a place I do go to because it’s a liberal wasteland perpetuating the hateful Democrat War on Christmas. Still, thank you so much for the clarity. Do you need anything locked clean?

      “Maybe you should skip Woke Starbucks and instead spend money on Black Rifle Coffee you can make at home that tastes like burnt transmission fluid and costs $17/bag.”
