SectionC3

"Don't show up for work and don't even know if they work for the government." Great stuff from the guy who golfs instead of "saving" the country, and hobnobs with the Saudis in some undefined role (president, grifter, entrepreneur, loser). Also, where is this "hundreds of billions of dollars" of waste? Time to show the cards and tell the truth (for a change).

Principal that is keeping him there. Great stuff. Maybe we should abolish the Department of Education. Who is “they?” How the f are republicans helping with that? I agree that the current debt levels are unsustainable. But republicans want to increase debt, keep tax cuts for the super rich, and spike inflation with tariffs. The whole thing is profoundly stupid.

The next time someone in the Oval Office gives an F about the working class it will be January 2029.

It's a special. Don't read anything into it.

More MAGA buy this stupid crap, they have less money for eggs, they don't buy eggs, demand falls, and then eggs suddenly are cheaper again. MAGA, 4.5-D chess.

I think they’re going to up’s grade at “DE2,” try to bring Smoot back as DE3/4, and tell whichever of AJE/Miller takes their terms first that they can stay. The other goes. Those two are probably one yea le players here at this pint, anyhow.

Nope. Peter was supposed to put down the sword. As it happens, MAGA thinks it was so he could pick up an AR-15.

Doesn’t that part of Jeremiah seem a little ironic to you? Isn’t that what MAGA and Trumpism is? Like, exactly what it is?

Jesus was a brown migrant.

They all bought HCQ futures at the outset of the pandemic, so they're probably doing OK now.

So you're a shutdown guy? Seems to me that, in the meantime, if all of these fools weren't running around complaining about having to wear a mask to prevent the spread of disease, we could have had some semblance of normalcy and maybe not dished out all of the free cash and maybe not had all of that pent up inflation. With respect to inflation, it has been five weeks. It's not a "leftist" talking point that Trump said he'd have a day one fix for inflation. "Immediately" and "rapidly" bring prices down, beginning on "Day One." Those are his words. So either he's a leftist, you're out to lunch on this one, or he's doing nothing about the problem. Maybe it's all three, because the fact remains he's playing an awful lot of golf and spending an awful lot of time not working when he's the guy who supposedly is the best equipped to "save" this country. Finally, re: Biden, how many who died refused the vax? I'm going to guess a lot. And that's what happens. We had a vax, we were trying to get back to normal, some people chose not to participate in efforts to normalize, and some of those people died. Oh please. You're just trying to distract from the fact that the guy you voted for is slugging Diet Coke and McDonald's on a golf course while ignoring you and the issue that got him elected. No plan for the economy, no hope of a plan, and no interest in hoping for a plan, because he's focused on golf, fast food, and the tariff idea that more or less everyone with a brain realizes is stupid and not good fore the economy).

Here's the thing. Trump helped with COVID. Operation Warp Speed was probably the biggest success of his presidency. (He otherwise butchered the pandemic, but that's neither here nor there on the cleanup.). Biden saw the COVID recovery through. Now that MAGA is big into macroeconomics in view of the skyrocketing cost of eggs (suddenly, bird flu is recognized as a catalyst of that problem), maybe the same analysis should be applied to inflation. It's what happens when you have several months of low supply, pent up demand, and free money. And guess who was complicit in all of that? Trump. He dished out the free money during the pandemic. Even signed the checks. He's also complicit in the low supply and the pent up demand through his mismanagement of that issue (turns out that maybe, just maybe, wearing a mask might have been a better play than squiring internal organs with Lysol and bleach and chasing ghosts on Ivermectin and HCQ). Biden owns some of that too, to be sure. He dished out the free money, and the ports in LA should have been opened by any means necessary when we had cargo ships circling off of the coast. But it's not as simple as saying "Biden left us high prices." There's fault on both sides. And the problem now is the guy who said he would fix it on "Day One" is golfing and diddling more than he's working on that issue. Agreed. What he could do, I suppose, is tell people the truth. They have to work off some debt and solve their own crappy financial situations. He could make things marginally better, by shifting some economic burdens (maybe tax the rich, add funding for childcare to enable people to get to work, and use the same tax increases to help address fuel taxes and the price of fuel). But instead he golfs, and gulfs, I suppose, while Middle America struggles.

This. All day long. The economy was the big issue. Instead of addressing that issue, he's golfing. While millions of Americans who voted for him as a plea for help continue to struggle. This is a failing presidency, and it's just getting started.

Franklin Pierce. Warren G. Harding. WHH. Grant had a pretty weak presidency. GWB was objectively bad. It's a miracle the Middle East didn't spiral into a regional war. Biden deserves a ton of credit for that. His economy, all things considered, was pretty good. A lot of the unhappiness with the economy is traceable to people's own failings (poor spending habits, lack of discipline) and the COVID fallout. My beef with Biden is that he didn't speak well enough, or maybe enough, to the working class. The student loan thing was a bad idea. We had a chance to take back the narrative about Democrats being the party of farmers and workers and unions. And, unfortunately, we didn't. Ultimately, though, he didn't project strength. Trump is a fat, weak, old, flabby phony. But people think he's strong. A guy like Obama runs Trump over. Bill Clinton probably does the same. Sanders probably beats him in 2016 if he's the nominee. We need that right now in the Democratic Party. I'm not sure, though, who that is.

The one that Martin O’Malley and various funeral directors debunked?

Hoax.

Probably too many. But probably not at trumps rate of golf, either, when things are such a “disaster.”

If you’re so worried about tax dollars maybe you should tell trump at the next MAGA meeting not to okay so much golf and fly laps around Daytona.

A fair point. So did the ultimate warrior. Hoax. I stick up for my kids.

I’m surprised he has any friends. The guy won’t even stand up for his own kids.

Which Lee is he talking about? That racist loser who engaged in an insurrection and led war upon our country and our constitution? And last I checked, I haven't seen any "desecration" of anyone else on that list.

I kind of agree with this. But this doesn't mean I agree in any way, shape, or form to Trump's idiotic approach to settlement discussions.

Let's go back to your insider trading issue. Last I checked, Nancy Pelosi has not been convicted of such an offense. (Although I agree with you that her actions in that respect are scummy and don't look good.). MAGA Congressman Chris Collins was convicted of an offense related to insider trading. And your boy Trump pardoned him. So if we're going to play the insider trading game, it looks like it starts and stops with MAGA. Probably much longer than Trump's failures in that respect. I don't see a wall. I don't see Mexico paying for a wall. And it looks like this "violent illegals" problem was either a hoax or something that Trump is failing to take any meaningful action on. Maybe he should work more and golf less.

He hasn’t done anything meaningful. And he isn’t helping the people who got him elected. Say what you will, but he’s making exactly the same mistakes that democrats made last cycle.

Meanwhile, while the King golfs, the Dow is way down, earnings picture is bleak, and consumer credit card debt hits another high.
