TURI TRUMPS TRUMP: BOTTLE OF LYSOL ONLY $30, WIPES $50

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Get them while they're hot!

Now, a can of Lysol for only $30!

And how about $50 or a box of Lysol disinfectant wipes guaranteed to fight salmonella (and COVID-19, too?)?

Can't get enough of these great deals? How about a pair of gloves for $2 each glove?

We didn't see the lines at Arturo Treviño's Los Trevis Store at 2105 Price Road, but at these prices we're sure that the hard-to-get items (labeled in Spanish) probably drew the throngs dying to hand over $84 (plus tax?) for a can of Lysol, wipes and two gloves.

The prices drew some skeptics on Treviño's post on La Pulga.com who were taken aback at the prices for the items made hard to get by the fear speaked by the COVID-19 outbreak that has stuck Brownsville and Matamoros particularly hard.

Right now both cities lead neighboring towns in the number of dead and positive cases due to the virus.

Treviño, who knows a captive audience when he sees one, is hawking their availability at his drive-thrus on a first-come, first-served basis.

Where he got those products, apparently manufactured for sale in Mexico, is anyone's guess. But it's a seller's market for the disinfectants and with one born every minute, someone will surely go for the bait.

Another graduate of the St. Joseph Academy School of Cutthroat Business?

Not that we're picking on the Bloodhounds, but after all it wasn't long ago that someone posted as Tanya Nunez during the hand sanitizer shortage posting that as a good business-minded neighbor she has acquired a large batch and was advertising its sale out of her Nuga Diesel and Truck Parts business on 14th Street. She, too, claimed a Bloodhound pedigree.

It wasn't the industry-leading brand Purell but a brand called BaseOne  which  she would let you have while the demand was high for only $12 for an eight-ounce bottle.

Both offers, we are sure, are guaranteed to clean you out!

No one is forced into buying this shit, so pendejo el que compre. Trevino is using the Real Estate model: asking price vs. selling price. But you did publicize his venture, so he's smiling.

Moscow Mitch McConnell jumps in on Flynn case

Moscow Mitch said "Obviously, that subverts our constitutional order...", and with that, irony died. The masticated pussy-face guy has spent the last two decades subverting our constitutional order, and now he wants to chime in on a case that has nothing to do with the legislature.

What a useless sack of skin.

Turi is from St. Joseph and they are ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Taking advantage of the the poor is the normal actions. They don't care abou the people they care about making money. St. Joseph is known for producing Price Gouging men and women. Arturo Trevinio is well known to bring cheap products from Mexico and sell in the USA. That is the St.Joseph Way.

A federal judge earlier today allowed a civil trial to go forward against Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump for fraud and conducting a pyramid scheme. Given that Trump has been identified as individual number one in the fraud conspiracy conviction of Trump’s private attorney Michael Cohen, Trump had to pay 25 million dollars for fraud with Trump University now shut down, and then last year Trump had to pay 2 million dollars for fraud in the illegal use of Trump’s charitable foundation also shut down. And this is who Moscow Mitch and the Trump Republicans are protecting? You just can’t fix stupid.

Republicans are protecting trump because he can take them all down with him. They may hate his guts, which I have read in many articles they do, but they need him as much as he needs them. If they turn on Trump, he will turn on them viciously. Ask any of the people now who are his sworn enemies how they got that way. Going against the King is a big no-no if you want to keep your job in Washington.

We are Noriega's corrupt Panama now.

Don't price gougers get in trouble with the law?

Pinche Trevino. Stick to doing beer festivals. I forgot. Ya se te acabo esa chiche. There is no St. Joe mafia. It's s myth. They are jealous of each other and try to outdo each other. They say they are friends and behind their backs they all backstab each other.

Another idiot blaming President Trump for price gouging! Who you need to blame is the TX AG for not coming down on these retailers, period! TX AG was on the spot when we got threatened by a hurricane and ordered all retailers to maintain prices!

Use your commons sense in November and don't believe what soros puppets tell you with the help of the democRAT supporting media!
