Joe Ferguson forever

can neither confirm or deny. that was solid gold.

I'm puzzled. You mean people who vandalize Teslas probably don'tt own stock in it? I agree, and...?

that was March 27th. "Not as grim as we fear" is not a good place for the market to be unless you're not invested and don't care. As the new tariffs approach tomorrow, he sees it differently and quotes titans of finance saying the same thing. But trump and stupid high school dropout magas know better...

Steven Miller is the perfect face for this admin. He's ugly as hell. Probably the biggest ####### since Dick Cheney....but not as smart. What about green card holders. Suddenly their status has changed but not because any law was changed. Bunch of bigoted little boys with little weenies.

Honestly, that's their top priority. It's like an NFL team that knows it sucks but gets its jollies from playing the spoiler once in a while.

no big deal...innocent people are executed under the death penalty too. collateral damage.

cool, you agree. so do you believe tariffs will help, hurt or be neutral? Yes, we need to live within our means both individually and as a nation. I'm actually a fan of living below means. To do this on an individual level, we need to cut back or stop debt spending. Increasing income is the other unlikely alternative. For the nation, cutting spending is necessary but on an analytical and controlled basis. It needn't and shouldn't be done overnight. give people and the economy a chance to adjust. Revenue can be increased by increasing taxes on the top earners. They pay the vast majority of taxes already but also get the most economic and political benefit.

Josh Allen is too smart to take on a job that he is unqualified for. He's one of the best in the world at his current job. Why would he change? Hegseth has never been the best in the world at anything including the job of disinformation presenter on Faux news. I can see why he wants a job he's unqualified for but not why anyone would want him. Unless the person hiring wanted a yes man... send her this article https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/contributor-can-hegseth-ever-regain-the-trust-of-the-troops/ar-AA1BNSbh That’s Hegseth’s predicament. He clearly cares about troops. He clearly made a mistake. But now he’s a part of U.S. military leadership, and the onus is on him to show integrity and accountability he's so recently demanded. If he does not handle his next steps well, then the leader who argued the loudest about removing double standards from the Pentagon will set a dangerous double standard. Because everyone knows that any “normal dude” who did what Hegseth did would face immediate consequences. In fact, Hegseth’s subordinates launched an investigation on March 21 that promised if anyone is found “responsible for an unauthorized disclosure,” then the individual “will be referred to the appropriate criminal law enforcement entity for criminal prosecution.” Hegseth himself said in 2016, discussing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server: “Any security professional — military, government or otherwise — would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.” Yet the attorney general said on Thursday that there is not likely to be an investigation into the administration's breach of security protocols.

Ironic but unsurprising that the leader of the party that constantly cites the constitution is open to attacking it at the foundation. This won't be the only instance if his supporters continue.

We live in a global economy. We can't survive as an island. No one outside the US is going to buy American manufactured goods after our competitors apply tariffs to goods hat are already relatively expensive due to expensive labor. The US market alone is not big enough to sustain, much less grow, many businesses.

As I said, it's about labor costs. That issue will not change with tariffs. Prices will go up however. investments will go down or at least growth will slow. And some small and large biz will go belly up. Will we come out better off overall? Will unskilled jobs increase and compensation for them increase? I don't see how nor do many economists but trump seems confident. I don't find that the least bit reassuring. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/04/01/donald-trump-trade-war-already-backfiring-corporate-america/ But Trump’s hope of a low-skilled jobs boom is doomed. Johnson has already tried hard to manufacture his goods in America. “I would love to have my product made in the USA. That would be really great to have on my website,” says Johnson. “So I’ve tried a lot of places. All the way from an individual guy where he made things in his shed at the back to several larger companies. I once flew to Wisconsin to meet with a company there. But mostly they just can’t deliver. “I cannot get my product in America in the quantities that I want to sell it. I’ve tried numerous places, they’re extremely slow. I would just be out of stock constantly.” The fundamental problem is the high cost of labour in America. US factories will have five or six employees on the factory floor, says Johnson. In Asia, there will be 100, plus another 30 in an office answering emails. Just one tidbit from the article. the remainder is equally depressing.

Glad to see bipartisan agreement here. 14 to 2! I'm very surprised. 2 people on the board want an American king, however.

barbaric and uncivilized. no place for it.

nope. the transition began on election day.

The debate was in June 2024. This was 2 years earlier. His admin hid his frailty. At the debate, a confident arms length diagnosis of Parkinson's can be made. Parkinson's often presents and advances without cognitive involvement. That is much more difficult to ascertain at arms length. Either way, he was too ill to run again and should have stepped aside long before he did.
