As someone said when they posted this on Instagram: the charm of Ron DeSantis. -
Lefties: Who do you endorse?

Hey, if there's something wrong about what I said, go right ahead and refute it. Nobody's stopping you. -

What a shock. Jack doing a little Jackwashing, creating a new account for those embarrassed to say they follow him. Of course that doesn't mean anything here, where people proudly cut-and-paste Jack's own posts like he is some kind of expert on anything other than his Q fantasies. -

No, that's a fair question. It isn't that prices are going down and returning to 2021 levels. That would be deflation, and economists (who don't agree on much) pretty much all agree that that would be bad. It's that prices are now going up at normal/low rates of about 3 percent a year, which allows people to have reasonable expectations about price levels now in and in the future. -
It really is remarkably easy. I think you should give it a try. Just come up with a better screen name and head to Twitter to post whatever joke conspiracy theory you can dream up. You'll get 10,000 followers in no time.

Correct. And for me, at my late career stage, the ability to save money and earn interest at historically normal rates (around 4.5-5 percent) finally allows me to not depend on the stock market always going up. That takes away a major anxiety. -

Relatable? Yeah. If you're an old dork. (I'm the former, not the latter. Or so I say) https://www.threads.net/@kamalahq/post/C9vEuMxMSAO -

I saw that Beshear interview. That had to sting JD, the Hillbilly from the Ohio valley flats. And just because you directed me to Meridith McGraw's Twitter, how about this gem from a genius. -
But I listened to you, and you assured me I was voting for a 3rd and then 4th Obama Term! I'm happy!

Charlie Kirk is on it! Just for fun, I looked at a LAS to BWI (closest major public airport to Dover) this morning. 4 hours, 10 mins airtime. A good tailwind and you're right in the ballpark. Not exactly supersonic or even "extremely fast" for a private plane where saving on fuel isn't that critical. But whatever. Feed the conspiracy monster, Charlie! Feed it.

Who is this Joe Biden of whom you speak? Did he used to be a senator or something? Ancient history. Kind of a Jimmy Carter sans the longevity.

Absolutely she should be fired. I think the problem is a common one: we always try to prevent the last tragedy and forget about the ways that the next one could be engineered. Example: pre-9/11 everything was about stopping passengers with guns and preventing hijackings, including terrorist hijackings demanding ransom. Our entire air security apparatus was set up that way. The 9/11 terrorist exploited that by bring box cutters on board, and by working in small teams. They also exploited it by using the fully fueled jets as the weapons, flying them into buildings to go for the largest body count and (for them) the greatest symbolism. No one even considered that possibility. While hardly as novel as the 9/11 attacks, sniper attacks were, thankfully, rare. Crazed individuals In a crowd? Not so much. Think Salman Rushdie, or Reagan, or the Slovak PM. Security was focused on those kinds of threats, not on a rooftop sniper.

And the summer of COVID. Whatever. It sucked. I am much, much better off today. And I think most people, if reminded of what their lives were like then, would agree. -
Kamala's VP?

So you're saying it works. 😀
