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.

Being illiterate is a prerequisite for being in the GOP.

Sadly, the word "fewer" has very nearly gone the way of the dodo. Drives me a little crazy.

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.”

But but but, they align with my ideals. I have to support them! Even if I think Starbucks is objectively better coffee.
Disclaimer: I hate coffee, so don’t come at me. Just leaning into a narrative because fuck some people.

Holy shit, it really is $17 for a 12 oz bag. That's >double what I pay for mine.

Yeah man, that’s what the poor do all day.
Not like the rich who use the company jet to commute to Starbucks.

Listen if you want good Starbucks you've gotta go to Seattle. I don't make the rules.

We used to have other great local chains, too. As recently as a few years ago. I miss them.

"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.

She's a republican in Minnesota. She knows she won't win, and is just trying to build her brand.

If you love Trump with every breath till you die, go buy a solar panel, inverters, LFP batteries, and WFH, bike or take a bus to work.
(If you don't love Trump, do it anyway)

I guess they can continue to enjoy paying their Epstein Fury tithe at the gas pump if they want.

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...
