Joe Ferguson forever

This craziness should be the target of both sides ire. Instead, trump appoints multiple billionaires to some of the highest offices. https://www.wsj.com/economy/1-trillion-richest-families-wealth-increase-bc13874a

Seems to me battle plans are pretty important to keep secret, immediate consequences or not. But at least you made a choice - thumbs up for the tv host! My dad was a WW2 veteran. He used to say “ loose lips sink ships”. Is that not a thing anymore?

congrats. the American dream lives on. It seems true that doing better than your parents did financially is becoming more difficult. Perhaps we've passed our peak. But that alone is not reason to change the rules of the game which have worked extremely well since after WW2. btw, I'm pro union. without them, workers get crushed.

He needs to BE an example. to the grunts and everyone else. He clearly didn't kinda know what he was doing. And your point about no one being able to keep secrets from their wives? How do you think Mossad spies ( perhaps Epstein) would fare if they told their wives their secrets. Cold war spies on our side or the Russian side? Heck, there was a real spy family that "The Americans" was based on. The kids had no idea the parent s were Russian spies living in American suburbia. How long would they have been assets if the couldn't keep secrets? yet, Hegseth gets a pass from you...

election funding reform is consistently fought against by the R's. Not to say D's don't take corporate money that buys influence but they generally support reform. citizens united was decided in favor of corporation by a conservative SCOTUS including Roberts and Scalia. It's telling the McConnell cheered the decision and Obama hated it. With the current SCOTUS, things are not going to change. And the maga's keep voting in candidates who oppose election reform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC As far as the 1%, much the same is true. D's generally want them taxed more, R's less. If the maga's are angry at them, they aren't voting that way.

maybd because he's the head of DoD and his example is very important?

Fire or not. is sharing pentagon war plans with your wife fireable? He hasn't denied doing it. You said it can't happ[en". what else do you need to know?

you should put a trademark on this. How bout you just give a thumbs up or down, caesar style, to Hegseth?

At its core, this has always been a class war. Both sides need to understand that a strong middle class is and has been the key to our success. But times change. We can't compete making TVs, sneakers and iPhones. Our lane is innovation. Go after the Chinese on patents and intellectual property. Don't go after Harvard and the others who produce the innovations.. And don't believe a conman who cares as much for the working man as snakes do.

The metric should be standard of living. Looking at the median, which countries citizens do better than the US? Even at the very bottom we’re still better than most. But that group generally does best in socialisms.

$300 tvs will soon be gone. But the fact you could buy one for that shows the success of our previous policies.

did you miss the part about it hasn't hit yet? but really? what brand?

actually, not true. Set the price right. then the potential buyers in your area come out and look at it and don't buy something else while never considering your house. kinda like what Mexico is doing with China.

The price increases haven’t hit yet. When the cost of a brake job doubles, car insurance rates increase to cover doubled repairs, flat screen tvs and a new laptop are out of reach, drinks in aluminum cans skyrocket etc even some stupid hardcore MAGAs will bolt. But he’s blinking big time so we’ll see. They don’t care about our relationships with allies though. Not smart enough to. Many have never left their home state.

The art of the deal? This looks like a guy who listed his house for sale at a ridiculously high price, no offers came in and he had to cut the price by half. What a deal! https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/22/business/trump-china-trade-war-reduction-hnk-intl/index.html Trying to destroy the constitution’s prescription of 3 equal branches of government. But you knew that and are fine with it.

the markets have spoken to orange turd. Fire powell and we're gonna f u. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/22/trump-fed-powell-inflation-tariffs-00305251

nAh. we need to see the stock and bond markets stabilize and then improve right now. things is bad!. T Bill rates stay up or go up further., the deficit increases way more. We lose more leverage and we start a viscous cycle. And none of the NYC shyster types couldn't have predicted this?

what metrics would you propose to judge win from loss? I'd say Inflation, the stock market, bond rates, employment. down the road, wages, factory start ups. And I don't think our cost of the trust of important neighboring allies can be replaced by these easily.

dogs are a special case. wolves were domesticated by cavemen because of their friendliness and desire to be with humans. years of breeding have resulted in some of them being the amazing heroes we see now. wolverines, opossums, skunks, squirrels, rats, groundhogs etc not so much.

many people (nearly all R's) cared about hillary's emails. That went on for many months. so should this.

I think his politics would be very similar to Pope Francis'. So yes. More aligned with US Dems but not in full agreement. i think that you find actual independent thought exhausting.

i live in the south. I've been called a papist before and told that I worship Mary. So, yes. And they are deplorable. so do you think he's going to celebrate the Pope's death?

why should he "help himself". Your sources are Joe Schmoes who have been inexplicably elevated to expert status by a bunch of stupid maga's...kinda like many of trump's cabinet picks.

yeah, they were about following the law. and protecting bedrock institutions - guardrails to reign in madness and unchecked power. now we have a despot and the ass kissers applaud him. bravo.
