Joe Ferguson forever

And? 3/4 of surveyed spontaneously mentioned tariffs as a source of concern. Do you think it’s good to raise national anxiety and lower consumer sentiment to record levels with any policy decision?

Yup. Staying the course would have been better. Now much of the world distrusts or hates us, thousands of civil servants are unemployed. Tens of thousands to millions of mostly MAGAs will soon have no health insurance and $4 trillion will be added to the deficit. Oh yeah, and goods from Walmart and Amazon will soon be more expensive. I’ll take Kamala’s relatively conservative approach every time

Somebody asked me if I found her attractive. She’s an ugly, disgusting subhuman pos

The stable genius tariff consequences are just beginning https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/16/consumer-sentiment-may-inflation-expectations-tariffs.html

Thereby pi$$ing off and losing customers trust and business.

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious but this is mostly true. General knowledge testing of the general population is depressing

If the bond market didn't crash, he would have stuck with his original tariffs and not done a 90 day moratorium. Do you believe having a treasuries crisis was part of the plan? That he knew this was going to happen? If so, his reckless actions are even worse...

Nope. he balked because the bond market crashed directly due to his actions. Someone with sense talked him down, possibly Bessent. Lutnick is a moron and the other pig faced economic advisor just spouts out absurdities,

Because it explains why trump balked. Duh

It was a bull market. Should be up 2%. Treasuries recovered cuz trump balked. It doesn’t take a financial genius to achieve these numbers. If a D produced this, MAGAs would be up in arms. Wait, they are but literally. The treasuries rightly freaked the market. Could’ve been disastrous. But hey, what difference is it if an authoritarian bets our currency reserve status?

I’m searching for historic precedence….there must be other examples.

Trump hires only the nicest white supremacists for high ranking cabinet positions. Is he anti Jew? Yup. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5387299/trump-white-house-antisemitism If the administration were serious about countering antisemitism, first and foremost they wouldn't be appointing people with antisemitic and other extremist ties to senior roles within the administration," Spitalnick said.

MAGAs don’t care, even if it directly impacts them negatively. Wtf? The guy is a snake charmer.

Yes, no one else could destroy bond markets, the value of the dollar and stocks. All of the major indexes are down significantly from when he took over a bull market. He’s f in amazing. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tariff-pause-bond-market-bond-yield-treasury-bill/

Sadly, I believe this is true. We're on the downslope. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/05/14/peak-america-is-over-donald-trump-dollar-trade-war/

pro Jewish doesn't = pro zionist. I don't believe for a minute that he condones Israel's attack on Gaza. You maga's never think. https://www.jpost.com/christianworld/article-853884 from the Jerusalem Post The new pontiff resumed his predecessor’s calls for a ceasefire in his first Sunday address. Official church policy on Israel or the war is unlikely to change.

Yup. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sgJXbIP83A8

Someone better tell schumer, too. I know you'll say he's lying ,too. All the while believing ever lying trump. https://www.nydailynews.com/2021/01/07/pro-trump-rioters-smeared-poop-in-us-capitol-hallways-during-belligerent-attack/

Nah Muppy. Resist.

a seemingly new dating approach: magic mushrooms. no wonder she never finished a residency. https://apnews.com/article/means-trump-surgeon-general-mushrooms-psychedelic-drugs-72c22ed077409b4bb865214e7ef304a8

how do you feel about the J6 pardons? What should happen to someone who defecates in a congressional office or attacks a capitol policeman?

you do understand that this bill stopped taxes from increasing back to pre trump levels, right? and that D's voted for the tax increase while all R's voted for the decrease. And that the deficit is estimated at $4 trillion with this bill. Also that this is a net tax increase on the poor through more expensive goods via tariffs and higher healthcare costs due to medicaid cuts. trump loves the uneducated: as voters but not enough love to help them financially.

I thought he promised his lower income base, tax exemptions for tips and overtime. He promised seniors tax exempt social security. These are vitally important for regular people. He definitely bought some votes with these promises. And if they were a priority, they'd be in the bill. The Suozzi questions and answers are striking to see in transcription. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-prized-tax-bill-doesn-134032309.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall “On tips—the president said, ‘Your tips will be a 100 percent yours.’ Does this tax bill continue the payroll tax on people’s tips?” asked Suozzi. “Yes it does,” said Barthold. “Overtime. The president said, ‘Your overtime will be tax-free.’ Does this bill continue the payroll tax on overtime?” continued Suozzi. “It does not exempt overtime from payroll tax,” said Barthold. “The president said he’s going to remove taxes from Social Security,” pressed Suozzi. “Does this bill remove taxes on Social Security benefits?” “The legislation provides an increased exception amount—” Barthold began, before Suozzi interrupted. “But does it remove taxes on Social Security benefits?” reiterated Suozzi. “It does not change Social Security,” Barthold said.

We have several friends and acquaintances where the woman is the primary bread winner in the family. These are interesting dynamics. Most are not "beautiful" people physically. At least one of the women is very conservative and so is her husband. I think one of the most important things professional women look for is that their man is not intimidated or envious of their success and is comfortable in a nontraditional role. I'm not sure those guys are readily available but nice work if you can get it. Two professional couples are also pretty common and I think often successful based on mutual respect and admiration. They often don't have kids. I'm in this group. I can definitely see politics affecting attraction however. The US is so far divided by ideology that compatibility would be very difficult to achieve I think you may have dodged a bullet.. I just don't see how a marriage like that really works.

I'm an outsider. Have not lived this but I can think of several ways for a discouraged male to improve things. Many women love to dance. Learn ballroom dancing at a studio and you'll meet many women. There are invariably more women than men at the social dances. Besides that, in lessons you frequently switch partners so that you learn to dance with everyone, up close and personal. I would suggest having a special interest in latin dances, especially salsa and rhumba...Also, join a gym. It will help with appearance, self esteem and is an opportunity to meet women. I agree that if the u80/20 rule is real, we are in big trouble. Like you said, free flowing bitterness, frustration and anger everywhere. Finally, I think that toxic masculinity turns most women off. They see self absorbed and insecure. they see someone that resents their success. that's not attractive. Dare I say, young men might do well to embrace their feminine side more.
