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.

looks like a molecular biology /salesman to me. the girls in the lab adore him. they say he's charming.

underwater on every issue but immigration in Fox poll. 58 disapprove to 40 approve on inflation. He's even losing some dumb maga's. it'll get worse when the actual price increases start. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/poll-position-where-trump-stands-americans-11-weeks-his-second-white-house-term you just found out? you need to buy a turntable and play the entire reord backwards.

every man for themself...that's where we are. Unionists aren't known to be expert economists....

so it's ok for trump to "troll" about a 3rd term but 4th posting facts is not ok?

Et tu Elon? Ackman? trumps economic advisors are on an island. Almost no economists or masters of the universe agree with them. trump could save face by throwing them under the bus. But he won't. He never admits he's wrong https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trumps-economic-team-faces-flood-of-tariff-critiques--even-from-top-white-house-allies-162649574.html We stopped at Wal Mart for some essential groceries on our way thru town this am. Prices are already higher than last week on many things. Many empty shelves, especially meats. maybe they missed a shipment. I wondered if they were repricing relatively expensive stuff. who knows. but inflation is going to roar if he sticks with these tariffs. And many maga's will be hurting.

Splain.

I have no debt. Every man for himself. Lutnick strikes me as sleazy

Smart people didn’t vote for trump unless they were in on the swindle

link? so how are the rubes going to benefit?

Which would make some sense if the rubes would benefit. but they won't. and this is an own goal. the rubes are to blame. they elected this moron and continue to. btw, in 2008, we adapted. that's what is required. sad that it's required now because a large group of dolts believed in a conman.

where have all the MAGA's gone? Checking their portfolios? Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon is waving the distress flag: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jamie-dimon-warns-of-slower-growth-higher-inflation-as-tariffs-reshape-global-economy-were-not-in-kansas-anymore-101743849.html "The quicker this issue is resolved, the better because some of the negative effects increase cumulatively over time and would be hard to reverse," Dimon said in a section on the state of the economy titled "We're not in Kansas anymore." "In the short run, I see this as one large additional straw on the camel’s back,” Dimon added.

Well? can't even formulate a deflection, can you.?

Do you agree with what he says about trump tariffs? If not, why? Critique his thesis here.

yeah, it's just junk bonds. moron https://www.reuters.com/markets/global-market-data/
