Big Blitz Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Dam with all these early votes for election season that lasts a month, these people never had the chance to hear a Comedy Central Roast writer tell a joke that clearly meant MAGA hates brown people or something. So sad. 1
B-Man Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Trump calls for America’s New Golden Age at Madison Square Garden: What we saw at his Sunday rally was the opposite of divisive. By Roger Kimball No one with an open mind — you can even scratch the adjective — no sentient sapiens period can have witnessed Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally without a frisson of awe. Even the most tireless Trump supporter must be a little jaded with Trump’s rallies by now. Just as in 2016, they have been building to a crescendo in both size and frequency. And even avid politicos might be forgiven for thinking they had been there, done that. But Sunday’s rally at Madison Square Garden was something different. Perhaps other rallies were as large. We’re told that the MSG event boasted a capacity crowd of nearly 20,000 with more than 70,000 lined up to view the festivities on screens set up outside. I gather Trump’s second Butler, Pennsylvania, rally broke 100,000, as perhaps did a few others. But it wasn’t just the size of Sunday’s rally that made it special. It was also the location, the vibrancy of the speakers and that ineffable, electric feeling that follows closely on impending victory. The Democrats have tried fitfully to claim that Trump is “exhausted” and perhaps not up to the task of being president. Meanwhile, Harris abruptly departed a rally in Detroit after only six minutes while Trump’s daily regime would fell a man half his age. Madison Square Garden is situated is the belly of the deep-blue beast. How many decades has it been since a Republican won New York in a presidential race? (The answer is four: Reagan won New York in 1984.) Then why was Trump expending precious resources in the state? Why did he hold a rally in the Bronx this summer, on Long Island a month ago? Because the times they are a-changin’. . . . Will Trump take New York? I am assured that that is unlikely. I note, however, that many of the wise people who say that told me it was impossible only a couple of months ago. Reality does count for something, and the reality is that Trump speaks to a core constituency not only in New York but also across the country. Call it the constituency of normality, the non-trans, pro-capitalist, pro-American demographic that understands that men cannot be women, that you cannot have a country without a secure border and that big government is essentially at odds with individual liberty and general prosperity. I say that “Trump speaks” to this population, but the red-pilled former Democrat investor Bill Ackman was right when he noted that he now supports Trump not just because of the man himself but also because of his “team” versus Team Harris. In the left corner we have Kamala Harris, “Tampon Tim” Walz, Liz Cheney and assorted other neocons and globalists. In the right corner we have Trump, his running mate J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy and assorted former Democrats like Bill Ackman. Which is more impressive? Which is more likely to save the country? Take your time. Among my favorite moments in Sunday’s rally was J.D. Vance’s naughty suggestion that Kamala Harris’s new slogan ought to be “Nothing comes to mind,” after her response when a friendly newscaster asked her how her policy positions differed from those of Joe Biden. “Nothing comes to mind,” she said, a phrase that Trump deployed with stiletto-like efficacy in a brief video montage during his speech. A second favorite moment came in Tucker Carlson’s talk when he noted that: 1) Republicans were going to win and 2) the people would be forearmed against Dem claims that Kamala, a supremely unpopular candidate whom no one voted for had really won by garnering 88 million votes (or whatever). The Dems put that over in 2020 at the height of Covid. That ship has sailed. https://thespectator.com/politics/donald-trump-america-golden-age-madison-square-garden/ People are tired of the bull####.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted October 29 Posted October 29 2 hours ago, Pokebball said: interest rates are going to rise no matter who wins I'll bet on the experts here: But it’s the market, not the central bank, that controls long-term rates such as the 10-year, and the market sees higher rates ahead if Trump wins. “Trump’s policies, on net, would lead to weaker growth, higher inflation, and somewhat tighter Fed policy relative to the status quo,” forecasting firm Capital Economics explained in an Oct. 28 analysis. “That points to higher US Treasury yields.” If Kamala Harris wins, the outlook for inflation and interest rates would be about the same as it is now, since she hasn’t proposed any dramatic changes that would affect rates. Under that scenario, Capital Economics expects the 10-year to average around 4% for the next year, slightly lower than it is now. But if Trump wins, the firm sees the 10-year rising to as high as 5%, with other interest rates rising in similar proportion. Two Trump policies would drive rates higher. The biggest effect would come from his plan to slap a 20% tariff on most imports and a 60% tariff on goods from China. That would be directly inflationary. Tariffs are a tax that raises costs and prices. US importers would pay the higher tax and try to pass it on to their own customers, all the way to store shelves. 1 hour ago, 4th&long said: In other news, MAGA's are dumb.

Of course tariffs would cause higher prices on those items impacted. That would slow demand, and thus lower interest rates. Interest rates are the free market demand for money. 1
