A wealth of data almost conclusively proves that Donald Trump is deliberately destroying our economy. Hell, he's destroying Nato, Ukraine, our defense establishment and the rule of Law. Why shouldn't he shtoop (Yiddush, to penetrate and inseminate) the economy too.
All China has to do is wait him out…this is so stupid..they know he’ll be out of office in 3 ½ years or sooner, we get someone new a POTUS who stops this. They have the advantage of knowing the length of time they might have to wait and can act accordingly
I hear Trump is using all the Bigly savings and tariff revenue to throw himself the funest, coolest birthday party with tanks and jets and big, strong men saluting him with genuine respect and tears in their eyes, and Lee Greenwood bursting out of a giant cake baked by that homophobic baker and the comedy stylings of Rob Schneider! You are NOT invited.
I hope Joe Biden is schadenfreuding the entire United States from a porch with a tall glass of lemonade, remembering the countless breathless stories about how he stumbled over a word, or lost his balance like a common 80 year old dude. Heaven help us if Biden wins a second term he didn’t run for, and will Kamala laugh like that during meetings with foreign leaders? Will they respect a woah-man??? And have we truly uncovered ALL the dick pics from Hunter’s IPad?
Fortunately, none of that happened. Joe retired. Kamala is moving on to making the world better in another capacity, and we have a madman destroying our social safety net, stock market, economy, world standing, and the Constitution.
I appreciate your jovial tone. I expect you are resorting to comedy to cover up the agony.
Because, it was a damn fucking shame the way the nation beat up on Joe. Joe in many ways was fuckiing fantastic. He led the world, and brought the world together, in defending Ukraine and shitting on Putin. He made America look great.
And for Christ's sakes: The inflation we suffered was a global event and it was unavoidable. Very simply, every one-- both repubs and dems -- were afraid that Covid would cause a depression. So Trump, with the understandable support of Dems, poured money over everything. And economics 101 tells you: When more money chases a static number of goods, prices go up
So prices rose. However the inflation we endured was nothing like the inflation of 1979 and 1980, or the inflation of 1973 and 1974 or the inflation of 1946 and 1947. But Trump hysterically said it was the worse inflation we ever endured and the MEDIA NEVER CHALLENGED TRUMP'S LIE
Joe will spend his summer eating ice cream and watching the dolphins on Rehoboth Beach while shaking his head how stupid Americans are. Can you imagine Moldy Dick laying in a beach chair without every other person kicking sand in his face.
This why you shouldn't have most of the power in the hands of one man. Hierarchy is an inherently fragile system. Stop building essential stuff from the most fragile materials you can find, FFS!
Good addition, thanks. I think the problem there is that power structures are not just the official rules, they're also social and cultural behavioural patterns.
Oh but the offspring was listening to some investment bros podcast today and those guys were all SURE that drumpf was playing some sort of "4D chess" that was going to make things better, lower prices for Americans, and push people into t bonds. Or something.
Our asshole President has caused me so much anxiety that I cancelled a planned trip to Carefree, Arizona to visit my sister. I probably should have gone, but my agoraphobia. kicked in bigly. UGH.
Professor Reich was theorizing that 47 wants to get the recession in early and over so he and his buddies can watch the markets rise for the rest of his term--Reich thinks that they want it to recover in time for the midterms. (hah!)
My first thought is that 47 hasn't got a fucking clue what he is doing. My second thought is that he may think he knows how to pull off the turnaround, but I have a feeling that a recession is a bit harder to fix than just feeding propaganda to Fox News.
The days pass. That grinding feeling continues to grind. We look up recipes for used coffee grounds sweetened with empty candy wrappers. Floods kill hundreds, tornadoes kill thousands, pandemics rage, unrest spreads. Sir posts videos of his winning putts on Truth Social.
By 1) Crushing consumer confidence Sir will 2) swell the ranks of the unemployed and thereby 3) dramatically decrease demand for 4) imports 5) exports 6) manufacturing and 7) shipping, thus 8) drastically lowering emissions while 9) improving environmental quality. Weird way to go about it but there's no denying it: Sir Is A Radical Environmentalist!
It’s awkward for me, having now to protect and defend such an obviously vicious and destructive form of capitalism from such an obviously vicious and destructive skid mark. sigh

I spent my entire life building "power plants". You have to talk about them for 2 years before you even grab a shovel.

Enjoy your lemonade, Joe! You earned it.

It's not in his hands. Congress can stop this madness tomorrow but won't.

Ta, Marcie. When I got my job, I suspected that the 401K would be useless. Now I know it.
Just really cuts through the ambiguity though.
"Also, where is Congress to stop this?" Surely you jest? Also, Foxconn anybody?
Our asshole President has caused me so much anxiety that I cancelled a planned trip to Carefree, Arizona to visit my sister. I probably should have gone, but my agoraphobia. kicked in bigly. UGH.
Ironic that you can't go to Carefree due to anxiety. I understand. We won't be flying until the administration takes safety seriously.

We know “two weeks” means “never” in Krasnovspeak. I can’t imagine what “two years” means.
The only thing being screwed is the American worker.
So MAGAts, was getting that one trans girl in your state kicked off the high school volleyball team worth it?
Golden Age, bitches!

Based on his actions, if that is his goal, I think the better term is ecoterrorist.

Sir is a radical something...but I think the word you may be seeking is 'LUNATIC'.
What would bother Sir more? Being called a lunatic or an environmentalist? "Both nasty same" says Sir!
I can tell you this about him. He ain't no Fred, Sr., that's for sure.
