Joe Ferguson forever

Apparently he's floating higher taxes on incomes over $1 mil with R congressmen. So more capitulation but in a good way. he needs to pay for the 1 trillion he's proposing for defense.

yes, and he blinked and now you're happy. A recession is still likely. let's see what the big investment houses now predict. Last I saw JP Morgan said 45%. Let's see what they say tomorrow.

exactly. And this is precisely why 30 year T bills hit 5%. Nobody was buying because they've lost faith in the USA. but we wouldn't expect maga's to understand that. They think we can survive in isolation. These treasury rates were probably the biggest factor in trump's capitulation. without buyer for our debt, we are screwed.

you and Jack...got any investment advice, dummy

The tariffs still in place are 5-10x's more than under trumps 1st term per Larry Summers. They are still historic. That is not a free market. And the sword of Damocles still hangs over investors heads in 90 days. geez, I was beginning to think you'd outgrown the cult. And manufacturing jobs,? Some NC cultist congressman was just crowing about how this will bring back manufacturing. That it was all a poker game. Sorry, I don't want a guy who bankrupted multiple businesses gambling with my investments.

Much less the bond market although a maga or 2 here understood the effects on financing the debt.

A recession is still more likely than not. you were distraught yesterday and doing cartwheels today. You've still lost money. Prices will still rise substantially. None of our allies feel like they can trust us and will likely screw us any way they can. Winning!

he still 6 trillion down. this is how his casinos went bankrupt. never heard of other casinos going bankrupt. Larry Summers on CNN now. Says he folded due to the market and especially bonds. If it were due to 75 countries now willing to negotiate it could have been done Friday cuz that was announced then That would have saved a few trillion in the markets. This is total BS.

For now. ridiculous that one stupid, fickle man has so much instant power over the entire world economy.

are we prepared for manufacturing jobs return? https://nypost.com/2025/04/09/us-news/ai-video-mocks-idea-of-americans-working-in-factories-as-trumps-tariffs-promise-to-restore-manufacturing/

wondering why blitz issues liberals were behind the threats to coney barrett's sister. She had just given an anti maga opinion, her sister lives in SC and capture and dcdraino have vilified her. we know blitz isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he wasn't purposefully posing disinformation. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/barrett-sister-bomb-threat/index.html

who?

hmm...looks lie it's the right that are attacking coney barren. https://www.yahoo.com/news/memo-amy-coney-barrett-becomes-100000818.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Rogan O’Handley, who is better known by his handle on the social platform X, @DC_Draino, accused Barrett of having joined the Court’s three liberal justices in a bid “to keep cartels here in America.” The @catturd2 account, which has more than 3.5 million followers on X, referred to the justice as “Amy Commie Barrett” and complained that “Trump appointed her and gave her her dream job and complimented her and praised her — and she’s been an ungrateful, backstabbing POS since day one.”

It's also a disaster for the fed budget. Interests payments markedly increase. Bigger deficit. the opposite of what MAGA economists and trump want. bravo orange pos.

could well occur. SCOTUS ruled that was ok during ww2. This SCOTUS is arguably more authoritarian.

The Insurrection Act, passed in 1807, gives the president the authority to deploy the U.S. military on American soil. That means troops in our cities. That means bypassing governors. That means suspending protest rights. That means the death of democratic dissent—under the false pretense of restoring “order.” And Trump’s not hiding it. He’s preparing it. We’ve seen this before. In June 2020, after the murder of George Floyd, millions of Americans rose up in protest. Trump didn’t respond with compassion—he called for “domination.” When the military hesitated to invoke the Insurrection Act, Trump sent federal forces to violently clear peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square so he could wave a Bible in front of a church. Not an ounce of remorse followed. He was angry the generals didn’t go far enough. This time, he’s made sure they won’t hesitate. Since returning to power, Trump has purged the Pentagon of independent thinkers. In their place? Loyalists. Pete Hegseth is now Secretary of Defense. Tulsi Gabbard runs intelligence. And J.D. Vance—Vice President—is openly on board with using military force against Americans on American soil. Then, on March 19, those three—Vance, Gabbard, and Hegseth—staged a photo op at the southern border. Not a routine visit. Not a strategy session. A performance. Think about it. Why would the Vice President, the head of military intelligence, and the Defense Secretary all need to go to the border together? Why make a media spectacle of it? Because it wasn’t about the border. It was about the optics. It was about laying the emotional groundwork for invoking the Insurrection Act. They were building the narrative. “We had to act.” “We had no choice.” “The crisis was too big.” And what comes next? It’s June 2025. Trump goes on national TV and declares that Democratic cities are under siege by “radicals” and “illegals.” He signs the Insurrection Act order. Troops hit the streets of Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia. Protesters are arrested under “emergency provisions.” Journalists are detained. Social media accounts vanish. Immigrants are swept into detention centers. The press is told to stand down. The public is told to shut up. And it’s all legal. Some of you might think, “He’s bluffing. The military won’t go along. The courts will stop him.” Really? Were they bluffing when federal agents brutalized peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square? Did the military refuse? No. The National Guard was deployed. Many in uniform carried out the order. It was only later that a few expressed regret—after the damage was done. Did the courts stop January 6? No. They prosecuted rioters after the fact, but the attack happened. Congress fled. Democracy was nearly strangled live on TV. Did they stop the family separation policy? No. Thousands of children were taken from their parents before courts intervened—long after the trauma was inflicted. Did they stop the Muslim ban? No. The Supreme Court upheld it. Entire families were stranded or banned simply because of where they came from. Did they stop ICE raids or CBP abuses? Rarely. A handful of rulings. A few headlines. But the system kept grinding, unchecked and cruel. So if you’re waiting for “the system” to save us, you’re waiting for something that has already failed. The April 20 report is coming. If it recommends using the Insurrection Act—and let’s be honest, it will—Trump will frame it as a reluctant but necessary move. He’ll say he tried everything else. He’ll claim it’s about protecting America. But what he’s really protecting is his own authority. This is how authoritarianism arrives: not with tanks, but with legal memos, press events, and a scared public hoping someone else will stop it.

maybe you should wait to make any stock trades til they're fixed...

we usually have our groceries delivered from there. works out fine. very convenient. We get meat from the local butcher or occasionally the farmers market. In season almost all veg and some fruit from the market or our garden. Walmart is fine for essentials. We eat very well. Don't you worry.

I think he's owned by russia. but they sure don't respect him. all these maga's calling everybody commies need to read what the russians think of our country under him. and they're mostly correct “The price of goods will certainly go up in the United States,” Kulikov predicted. “The old political and economic global system is practically dead.” Host Vladimir Solovyov added, “Trump destroyed the trust” — and called for a statue to be built in his honor. “A monument should be erected to him,” Solovyov said. “This was a major blow to the system of capitalism …I think he deserves at least a Sutulov medal.” According to Davis, a “Sutulov medal” is not as prestigious as it might sound, but rather “a gag gift” “A well-known Russian expression that describes a worthless award that is given by a master to his servant,” Davis wrote at the Daily Beast. strong work magats

they don't listen to the words. Except if it's that one hit wonder from Richmond.
