And of course it wasn't.

Clinton didn't learn until the 94 midterms.

"The party in power is always smug and arrogant; the party out of power is always insane."

 

And so we start again.

So then you would agree that Trump has been given a mandate for change, unlike Clinton in 92?

Neither has been given a mandate. This was another very close election. It was not Reagan in 1984.

Nah - by degree of negative media coverage on Trump for 9 years plus - here is what the result is weighted if that coverage was at minimum 20 percent less hostile to Trump:

4thnnn: “Thy time is nigh!”

Regular person:  “Excuse me?”

4thnnn:  “Thy time…tis nigh!”

Regular person: “Night? It’s 2 in the afternoon.”.

4thnnn:  “Not night, nigh! Nigh!”

Regular person:  “I’m not following you… Not night night?”

4thnnn: “Ahhhhh never mind.”

This coming from another great prognosticator of the 2024 election. 
 

 

I was telling you since Indictment spring that he just won the election.  
 

Your liberal bubble prevented you from understanding what was happening. 
 

FYI - Rs won the House vote by over 51 percent.  It’s a narrow majority because of Democrat gerrymandering.  I’m not going to cry about it like Ds would.  
 

We’ll fix all that soon.

Does winning the senate and keeping the House figure into that at all?  

Because even though Reagan won in a landslide, Republicans did not win congress, if memory serves…

Good for you. I want the republicans to have control of everything. It’s all on them. Amateur hour is here. Let trump do his thing. Clown show!

Obviously!  I wanted to say it as the 4thnnnclock says I have precious little time left until the end.  Less than a week!  Under 24 hours! Minutes probably! Maybe a year or two! 4 years max! 51 months, plus/minus.  Soon, or soonish.  In the soon family for sure.

You are not governing, you are irrelevant. Trump is already a lame duck. The question is do the republicans want to hold onto power after trumps term is up? 
 

Walmart is already warning of higher prices. good job.

Whine whine whine. Biden is doing his best to ignite WWIII before he leaves office. "Good job."

 

You're complaining about Walmart "warning" of higher prices NOW? Where was your concern for the economy when Kamala was ignoring it?

 

You're about to see what a "lame duck" will do and I'm really looking forward to it.

Ah, liberal supporter from the Biden/Harris camp complaining about high prices but blaming me for pricing models of one of the largest and most successful companies on the planet.  Suddenly, shockingly, incredibly it’s someone else’s fault.  If, as you claim, I’m responsible for high prices, it’s you who got us here.  You should have demanded more when it was your time.
 

Anyway, you reminded me that I may only have minutes, hours, weeks, years and/or decades until the end, and that meant something. Don’t you dare say I’m irrelevant now, that’s hurtful.

Target down 20% this morning. Earnings miss + fears of what new tariffs will do.

They are going to bury their head in the sand about this because they voted for it. Trump told them this is what he was going to do and they were fine with it.

I wonder  the impact of the Harris unrealized gain tax would have been on Target stock, had she prevailed?  Or, her tax policy generally?

We’ll never know, that doesn’t matter now. The only thing that matters is what’s going to happen? The worst attempt at deflection I’ve ever seen. Do better.

You’re consistently and demonstrably wrong on most of your opinions, like almost pathologically incorrect.  I’m not certain your view on deflection is really all that important.  I’ll consider it, though, before discarding. 
 

From my perspective, it was part of the reason voting for your lady friend was a no-go.  There was concern expressed her plan would have devastating consequences on the stock market, and Frank’s post dealt with that.  
 

You’re  correct, though, we’ll never know and heavy lies the crown.  That was my point earlier when you were going to bat for high prices at Walmart.  Maybe had you not stayed on the sidelines…anyway, we’ll never know. 
 

Good stuff though.

Or maybe we can just say this:

 

Kamala's taxation plans were flawed in a way that would have damaged the economy.

Trump's taxation (tariff) plans are flawed in a way that will damage the economy.

 

I guess I don't understand the knee-jerk reaction that amounts to "yeah, it's bad policy, but the other guy's policy was even worse." Trump is in charge now (well, in two months); how about not doing stupid things?
