Covid began in 2020. Trump bungled it into a deep recession. Biden had the economy humming again on January 19, 2025. Trump Crash 2.0 might be two Covids deep. The sooner he is defeated, the better for everybody.

The US economy is deteriorating in parallel with the political situation. Appreciation of this fact is clouded in the media. Ignorance is papered over by a disingenuous debate and journalistic equivocation. We need to unlearn some “basic economics.
This is true. But a convincing BS machine. Uses active verbs and vigorous language.
Make America have a massive secret police again.
MAGA
Keep trying. After all, you're getting paid.
Still waiting for the "mass". American industry cannot stand "mass", so they show up in blue states to terrorize, not on Iowa dairy farms, in South Dakota packing plants, or at Florida resorts. Just terrorism, not deportation.
This very thing has happened before. Trump cuts Ukraine aid, some faction of the GOP revolts, Trump blames the stooge. And there are always stooges. That's all he hires.
Apparently Putin is tired of the flak he's getting for killing Ukrainian civilians, so he's going to kill some Russians. Surprised he hasn't done this already. Killing his own and blaming others is a theme of his rule.
They are paying back their donor/owners for the cost of purchase.

Biggest wealth transfer? Not sure Reagan's wasn't bigger, cutting taxes on the rich and imposing big new payroll taxes on the working class. The bailout of the banks in 2008, while homeowners got the shaft was huge. It just that now sucking at the veins of the public is just more out in the open.
The con man can't con if nobody listens. Maye Trump's genius is generating just enough outrage. time to get to work dismantling the oligarchy. The shameless grifters will die by themselves.

Often it feels like we are living in a “New Reconstruction”

A massive backlash against progress in civil rights.

Yet another spasm of white supremacist patriarchic rage.
In her furious dissent, Jackson writes of the Supreme Court's decision: "The project of stymying one of the country’s great civil rights laws continues." She likens today's ruling to notorious decisions after the Civil War cutting back civil rights statutes. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
Another illegal move. 85% of Trump's moves are illegal -- as later determined by the courts -- but the law is just another obstacle to the grifters and the oligarchs. Do what you want, legal or illegal, and create the chaos to exploit.
This is a man who never should have been president. What a fiasco. "Nutjob" is the N word that fits. All four of these countries -- Russia, Iran, Israel and the US have fascist nutjobs at the top. And they're the ones going to war. The world is not safe unless working democracies dominate.
The result of decades of work by the pro-oligarch wing. Installing the unqualified, stealing seats, funding the Federalist Society. They now control the Court and the Republican Party. Democracy is in the rear view mirror.
It is never mentioned that Martin negotiated the "Treasury Accord", not even the Treasury Secretary, and suddenly he is the New Fed Chairman. Fed history calls it "Independence." It may be independent of the President and Congress, but it's not independent of the banks. Ya gotta admit it.
If you have to wait for the data, you don't know what's going on. Both Wall Street and the Fed have been remarkably clueless on Trump's chaos, corruption and incompetence.
Is it loneliness or loneliness driven by shame?
Someday somebody will have to explain to me why the Fed raising interest rates to dampen inflation from tariffs is not redundant to the effect of prices themselves. You could almost make matters worse that way.
