Bring on the pain! Make it hurt! Nothing will change by way of our politicians; weak and cozy and complicit and corrupt! They just want an easy life! The more pain, the more suffering, the quicker the peasants will unite, rise up, and plunge their proverbial pitchforks into the belly of the beast!
I used to say it took 2 years for any presidential policy to affect the economy. Never thought I had to qualify that with "if the president obeys the law and upholds the constitution."
What I still don’t get is how destroying the US economically by increasing inflation, likely triggering a recession or worse a depression, while simultaneously alienating our trading partners, benefits anyone. Except, Putin and Xi
Adam is there anyone left in the GOP with the moral courage of you and Liz Cheney? Who is the best bet? I thought it might be Rubio but that's not happening.
President Herbert and Vice President Smoot-Hawley working hard. They probably are also required to fill out a 5-point justification of their previous week's work.
The voters want the "freedom" to use racial slurs w/o shame and to call trans women "he". That really is more important to some people than having a roof over their heads.
We watch college savings we set aside for 19 years be decimated just as our kids attend & apply for college. Every time in my adult life a Republican controls the executive a recession occurs. Obviously someone profits by triggering recessions not us. No one ever seems to remember the last time 😖.
"I'LL FIX INFLATION. PRICES WILL COME DOWN IMMEDIATELY....KIDDING!"

A WOUNDED CONSCIENCE OF WHAT WAS ONCE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY...

Just shows how much one can achieve with hard work and determination (and 277 accomplices — 218 reps, 53 senators and 6 justices). Also shows it’s much easier to tear stuff down than to build it up.
F$&@, Pod Save America is doing again!!!! It’s not the message idiots, it’s the action, Trumps S$&@ isn’t popular but people see something happening. The people don’t give a damn about the message, they want action!!!!
That’s why the Dems can’t get any traction, they want RESULTS!!!
He's repeating the same playbook from 2016 that didn't work, now he's doubling down on it.
His actions don't align with any sound economic principles that have worked in the past.
Tariffs may have a place targeting a single product but not the way he's applying them across the board.
Fools game.
I think it's time for Schumer to step aside as leader. Let someone with some balls who will stand up to Trump and fight. Chris Murphy or Amy Klobuchar would fit that bill.
I hope most Americans are asking what Trump's end game is? It's clear Trump's loyalties lie with Russia's Putin and not with the USA and I believe the same thing for Captain Ketamine, his main campaign donor, now co-president.
Yes but, if Trump really reverses tariffs tonight, remember many people made a 💩 load of money today shorting lots of stocks! Meanwhile proud of Trudeau for standing up to Trump.
The democrats has a plan, but with the Republicans Russian assets controlling Congress there is not much the can do. This is why we the People are pushing.
I moved 401k to a stable fund just after he won, which was a mistake. I should have probably waited for the inauguration. I was going with the theory that Garbage In, particularly of the kind he was spouting, must eventually lead to Garbage out.
Looks like Ukraine will be the least of your worries. I hope this maniac does not manage to completely tear down the US. My fear is that this time he has more effective people with their own agendas seemingly working in concert with him, the connsequences of which we cannot yet fathom.
Adam, Can you get a reporter to ask a republican - If Trump is so tough and this war never would have started because Putin is scared of Trump, why doesnt he just tell him to back off?
Trumps a big tough guy right? Putins scared of him right? So do it... Tell him to back off and leave Ukraine.
That or he knows exactly what he’s doing and he doesn’t actually care about any of us, just about enriching himself and his buddies. Something that MAGA seems incapable of comprehending
A lot of working class people voted for t-rump because he said he would bring prices down & they thought he would improve their economic condition. Prices will go up under him & he will make the rich richer & the middle class poorer.
There are going to be a lot of angry people in about a year.
Pretty damn good! For most people it would have been impossible even if they tried! Trumps one area that he seems incredibly successful is losing everyone money but himself and a few supporters!
It’s not a mistake- it’s a plan. It’s like a crazy pilot pushing forward on the yoke to point the nose at the ground while also increasing power. He’s trying to crash us. Alienating allies. Disrupting profitable trading relationships. Undermining faith in the dollar. This is no accident.
Where are all the arrests and charges for all of the fraud and abuse that magic Mike Johnson says Elon's algorithms are finding in the SSA Database? It's because there isn't any!
Did you know about the secretly recorded video the British journalists did with Russell Vought? Where he pooh poohed the notion that orange wasn’t involved in P2025?
Absolutely. I tend to think presidents get too much credit for a good economy and too much blame for a bad one. So much is out of their control. But this time around with Trump’s nonstop crazy actions, it very clearly is his fault, and no doubt a record.
A handful of Republicans flipping to Independents and caucusing with Dems. It would throw control of congress back to Dems. Then we impeach and convict
Dreamer. The Dems had 4 years. Historically the “liberal party” concedes to the “anti-liberal” . GOP was founded as anti- slavery. They do change places. People feel more secure with authoritarians, easier than making their own decisions.
Dems occasionally are great at going through the motions, if you start examining the legislative voting history for decades, they always put an obstacle up to fair treatment, whether it is one or a bunch of them
They need 9 House GOP to do a motion to vacate the Soeaker. 1–they should get rid of Mike Johnson. 2–they need to vote in Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. 3–they need enough GOP senators on board to convict an impeached Don & JD. 4–they should impeach Donald and JJ. 5–the senate convicts/removes Don &JD.
It’s a better plan than waiting for the midterms imo. These thugs, by their actions (smashing & grabbing, counseling GOP in Congress to NOT have townhall meetings & ignore their people), exhibit no awareness that an opportunity for them to face consequences—such as the midterms—will ever happen.
Just checked my 401k ...$6,000 I am down. I am young but man can not believe what others are losing. Post your loss and tag your representatives.

Trump couldn’t have tanked the economy by accident. He did it on purpose during his first term as well. Dems have to put things back together, always, going back generations, now.

Get on the tracks! Lay down! Grease the skids...
Just another way for the winning to continue.....
What's done cannot be undone, and all part of the plan.
.
I hope.
Guess what? It made the depression worse and longer.
Trump is doing the same moronic thing, but to an expanding economy.
Like using a hammer to fix what wasn't broken.
I hope congress gets ready to put their big boy boots on.

My entire 401K is T-bills, with the exception of my most recent contribution.
Anybody who thinks tariffs are good is an idiot.
Well the last two days it went down 1319pts
That’s why the Dems can’t get any traction, they want RESULTS!!!

To fight.
This current line up is useless
More of what is the question.
Have you heard of Liz Truss though? British PM so disastrous she was outlasted by a lettuce.
Now busy running around shouting the praise of a fellow fascistic imbecile by the name of Trump......
Still, the stock market is hard to predict...
Trumps a big tough guy right? Putins scared of him right? So do it... Tell him to back off and leave Ukraine.
He surely shorted the market and is getting rich as America dies.
There are going to be a lot of angry people in about a year.

Last year we were covered in work and couldn’t hire people fast enough.
🙄 so much… winning
“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
The poors of course, should be happy being slaves, and also probably 14 year old child "brides", like in those laws we tried to pass.
(Just in case ... sarcasm.
Trump only cares about short term gains that benefits his loyal inner circle and lets him maintain personal control).
