It's ok, WSJ. We may've gone another $4 trillion in debt, throwing billions and billions at Argentina and another Trump induced farmer bailout (while we all lose healthcare and affordable food),

BUT..

At least "free spending" Harris wasn't elected.

The only sin greater than Repubs repeatedly screwing up the economy for 40 years is Dems taking too long to fix the Repubs' screw up.

Swing voter philosophy going on 4 decades now.
Sigh.

The market *is* our Achilles' heel.

America's elite might trade our national secrets for a better deal on a Bugatti, but when it comes to making millions without having to get off the couch, that's 'protect at all costs' territory.

In its trade standoff with the U.S., China thinks it has found America’s Achilles’ heel: President Trump’s fixation on the stock market.

China, Betting It Can Win a Trade War, Is Playing Hardball With Trump

Chinese leader Xi Jinping thinks the president will fold before launching new tariffs that would roil markets.

Tbf, when US media sees Kushner & Trump shaking hands with ME oil billionaires, that probably suggests a little more to them in our hyper-greed based country.

These players won't get off the couch for human life, but they'll move heaven & Earth for "the right kind" of deals.

SCOTUS's refusal to block Trump's impoudment left Democrats questioning how they can even make a deal with Republicans when neither the president nor GOP leaders will abide by it, and when the Trump-friendly Court won’t intervene. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-other-...

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

They have no clue how it works and there's no one in that circle telling them any different, but plenty of propaganda accounts that back up any claim he makes.

To them, "everyone knows" this is a thing that happened.

Who is dropping out of BRICS? What are you talking about? You essentially taxed your own importers.

Why is nobody following up on this.

Sat with Dave at a bar one night in Gatlinburg TN. He drank about 10 beers and asked me to cover bc he "didn't have his wallet."

Random: his cousin is Kenny Loggins. If I had to learn that, everyone should.
