Yeah, sure. And then everyone would be affected by a black swan. It’s so dumb it doesn’t merit discussion.

Privatizing social security is a stupid idea that will benefit only the investor class.

But are Democrats evil? That’s a talking point. Obviously they’re not. Just as all MAGA aren’t slobs. The cycle of poverty thing is a great point. You’re right about that. My beef with MAGA is not the frustration with the status quo. It’s the leader (Trump is a fool), the lying (pervasive), the character (immoral, for a variety of reasons), and the false sense entitlement. There’s plenty of good, hardworking MAGA who I respect and with whom I have no issue. But there’s plenty who are simply contemptible. They think they work hard, they crap on immigrants, they think the world owes them a favor, and they’re really lazy as they come. It’s a lot of America right now. They gotta get off their butts and get to work. Get those crappy jobs in the fields to earn and work and move up. Do the stuff nobody else wants to do. And they’ll find that the harder they work, the luckier they will get.

Those Democrats, FYI, are today’s republicans. And this is exactly the message that the fatties in MAGA are going to get from Republicans if the lousy job numbers persist.

People from both parties inhabit the couch. But spare me the idea that MAGA isn’t entitled and in significant part out of shape. They’ve been bamboozled by the idea that immigration is an unspeakable evil and lack the introspection to inquire whether their own actions have led to their lots in life. I’m as pro union as it gets. Do you support organized labor and the organization of farm workers? I do. The vast majority of Republicans, however, do not. And, check out the article in the BNews from a few weeks ago about migrant labor in Niagara County. A farmer is quoted as saying he hasn’t had an “American” apply for such a job in 15 years. Could it be wages? Of course. But is it true that Americans also are generally unwilling to do that grunt work, irrespective of the wage? Absolutely.

Keep calling a democrats evil and pedos and you’ll keep pushing them away, too. Of course the statement is a generality. But it’s not altogether unfair when one looks at obesity and mortality rates in places like West Virginia.

I don’t disagree with a lot of this. We’re getting to a point, however, where the market will force some hands. Want to finish the harvest? Farmers will have to pay more, as well they should. And want to earn a living? MAGA is gonna have to get off the couch and take those jobs.

I won’t argue with you on the education piece, but much as you look down your nose on the lazy, over educated liberals (I have similar contempt for them, FYI), I look down my nose at the undereducated, over entitled, fat, lazy MAGA fools who think the world owes them some sort of birthright favor. We’re a lot more similar than you think.

My point is that a lot of MAGA is either too lazy or too physically unfit to do the work. But if these jobs numbers continue to deteriorate, they may have no choice. And the farmers may have to take them. Maybe this push for physical labor is the secret MAHA plan. But it’s going to be funny watching these fatties sweat off the pounds and try to sneak vape breaks.

So Powell will be to blame for a recession? Even though a rate cut will lead to inflation? And inflation already is a problem? And cost of living is already challenging for a majority of Americans? I think fault lies in a lot of places for what well could be a recession: Trump I, Biden, and Trump II — particularly with the stupid tariff and labor policies. But Powell is not anywhere in that realm.

Job growth is slowing and has been revised down for prior months. Manufacturing is going to take years to tick up, if it ever does. So what does MAGA do now when it's looking for a job? Report to the fields! All of those brown people who milked our cows and picked our berries aren't showing up. So maybe MAGA can help milk those cows in Vermont, or assist with the soy harvest in Nebraska, or help with cherry harvests in Michigan and Washington. Call your thousand pound sister brethren, tell them to lace up those boots with you, and get to work! *** I'll add - maybe the farmers for whom you should be working will let you use Rumble and Truth Social and 4Chan while you're out in the fields! Maybe have conspiracy breaks here and there so you can stay in touch with the latest nonsense while you're out there harvesting strawberries.

Trump said he would fix it. And he's whining about Powell not lowering interest rates. So which one is it? It's fixed, and we can lower rates, even though it isn't actually fixed, or Jay Powell is right and Trump is full of it?

Looks like the plan is to post some homemade YouTube stuff. That does not give me great confidence that MAGA will honor its promise to release the Epstein files.

Starting to heat up. I thought he was going to fix this. Pretty gloomy report from Amazon yesterday. MAGA denizens, at the next MAGA meeting, please don't forget to bring this up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Solid point. The waiting game is no fun. What's the MAGA plan to honor the promise to release these things?

Another day, another 24 hours spent by MAGA protecting pedos.

If you start a threat about shlit posting, then you're the shlit poster.

All of the post-Mueller allegations about Hillary's involvement in "Russiagate." Try reading the Mueller report. There's a nice line in there about refusing to conclude that Trump did not commit a crime. But I don't see anything in there about a crime committed by Hillary. If I was you, I'd take off the tin foil and spend more time worrying about the Epstein coverup.

And yet the Democrats now outnumber Republicans again.

Personally I can say that I don’t involve myself in right wing nonsense such as that. But if I did, I wouldn’t do it until I was done waiting on the Epstein files.

It sucks. That's what Homer Simpson says. He would get distracted by the allure of Hungry Hungry Hippos while playing the waiting game. But not me. I still want to see every scrap of the Epstein files. So how come the Don hasn't released them? It's almost as if he has something to hide.

This is great news if he worked out with Rapp. I've bumped into Rapp a couple of times over the offseason, and he is HUGE. Living in OP you tend to run into the guys in civilian life a little bit. Some of them are sort of lean, Euro-type athletes (Hyde and Epenesa come to mind). Some are shredded (Dorian Williams, for instance). And some are both shredded and huge (Rapp). That guy put in the work this offseason.

How do you know they lied? And how do you know the issue wasn't raised twice, or with more than one person? You don't. Savvy!

Shouldn't you be more concerned with the Epstein coverup? In the meantime, if I thought your question was sincere or that you actually cared about either of those terrible incidents, then I'd think about it.

Polling involves math, and we all know about your "aptitude" there. I hope you don't moonlight as a pollster.
