Well, if you’re being denied care, would you rather the decision maker was (1) a profit-seeking psychopath, (2) a “death panels” soulless bureaucrat or (3) a germ-theory-denying nutjob? I wonder how many would choose nutjob just because it seems like he’s the only one who cares what happens to you.

Every president in the last 40 years has made promises to bring back jobs, but Obama likely faced the most political pressure to do something about it. He was President with official unemployment >9% and deflation. Wonder what would have happened if he’d tried Tariffs then.

Obama asked Steve Jobs in 2011 if we could pretty please have Americans build iPhones. “Those jobs aren’t coming back.” said Steve.

It is an interesting paradox of tyranny that the tyrant often seems all powerful, but their regime is simultaneously fragile.

It’s possible for two things to be true at once - (1) the Trump admin is desperate and realize they screwed up, and (2) the CCP is talking tough publicly for a domestic audience, but behind closed doors would love to make a deal.

It’s even worse than that. Cruelty to children is to satisfy the bloodlust/libidinal desires of elements of their base. None of the donors or ruling members of the party are actually against immigration.

“Mendacious Machiavellian” or lying scumbag is more appropriate for JD. His boss is the blithering idiot.

The Trump 1.0 tariffs (which were continued by Biden) have been studied. As was predicted beforehand, they raised prices and reduced employment - www.federalreserve.gov/econres/feds...

The 1st post said some favor feelings over logic, which you keep showing. Inflation was created by the actions of Trump AND Biden. But only DJT announced policies that are likely to make inflation worse. We’ve known about the effects of tariffs since Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations 250 years ago.

Why vote for Kamala? Because the stimulus spending that led to inflation was bipartisan, and if you voted for Trump based on inflation, you voted for something worse. Trump’s policy is to further increase tariffs, which will create more inflation.

Overall, COVID and subsequent conspiracies seem much less exciting and pseudo-sciency than 9/11 ones. China manufactured a virus that Jews are immune to? Zzzzzzzz. Material science/thermite/exact timing of building collapse- lfg!

Still having a hard time understanding your thought process given the thread (try reading it through!). You said Latinos care about more than immigration and “we buy the same expensive food.” Who did Kamala lose to, and will he remedy the expensive food problem?

Help me understand what you meant by “we buy the same expensive food.”

Perhaps American women should stop giving birth to males? That would be more logical than maga’s ideas about immigrants.

“[immigrants are] taking Black jobs now and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people. They're taking Black jobs, and they're taking Hispanic jobs, and you haven't seen it yet, but you're going to see something that's going to be the worst in our history.” ~ Donald John Trump

There are plenty of bad people in the world both inside and outside politics. The point here is merely that Carter was a good man who took Jesus’s message seriously. This contrasts with Trump who is neither a good man nor someone who takes Jesus’s message seriously. No need for whataboutism.

Egg prices = how to get elected (politics). Greenland = the start of wars on multiple fronts to enrich the military-industrial complex (policy).

Carter’s presidency taught us that austerity is never going to be popular with the American people. The closest we’ve come since is HW mildly raising taxes, and look how that turned out.

Thank goodness Reagan ripped them off and we’ve ignored clean energy as much as possible since then. Otherwise China would never have had the opportunity to lead the world in this technology.

I’ll support Vivek’s position once we find ways to correct for managers hiring and promoting “someone they want to have a beer with” aka “someone like me” so that we get to a true meritocracy. Oh wait, that’s what DEI was the whole time.

Here’s hoping Obama learns how to post-presidency, based on Carter’s example. There’s a lot more good to be done in the world.

I love that this scale is similar to the number of people he is promising to deport. Could be 1,000, or could be eleventy billion.

Trump is a brawler. MAGA supporters try to copy the aggressive behavior of Dear Leader, but now the Dems are out for the count they had to find a new opponent.

JD Vance could’ve gotten away with saying almost the exact same thing. I wonder what the difference between JD and Vivek is.

And preferably in areas where they can trigger dramatic and/or violent clashes with local officials and protestors. He will make great tv on par with his “fight fight fight” fist pump right after being shot.

It’s quite simple- they are not thinking about the country or politics, they care only about their own business interests. Need H1B visas and lower taxes.

Their back catalogue could make the whole soundtrack - “5 million ways to kill a CEO”, “Kill My Landlord”, “Piss on Your Grave”, "My Favorite Mutiny", "Get That Monkey Off Your Back", “We've Got a Lot to Teach You, Cassius Green".

1. Biden was super unpopular. 2. Was a poor communicator throughout his four years, despite doing great things. 3. He dropped out too late. 4. He endorsed Kamala, shutting down a primary. 5. Many on his team worked on Kamala’s campaign and continued the same risk averse approach that wasn’t working.
