Inflation Rate in the World (aug-23)

That is basically correct. Inflation was a worldwide problem, not just an American problem. By all the metrics we had, our economy was in better shape than a lot of the world. Trump’s issues on the other hand are 100% self-inflicted.

He has AOC for a partner. They are holding rallies together across the country.

Elon Makes no sense. Let’s say I paid these protestors $300 a week. That’s 6,000,000 a week. Add to that paying mileage. That’s a very costly and inefficient protest. Musk is not really that bright, or thoughtful.

It seems they might not have considered that some people do not own smart phones, or may have turned their phone off, or their battery died, or did not have it on them? Also people’s children would have been in that figure. A portion of people may have had to leave.

It also does not help that she’s not a white landowner on South Africa. Those people trump wants here.

I agree. An emoji or even a /s would help. It’s harder to see sarcasm in a social media post. You don’t have physical or vocal cues to help.

I think you need to reread his comment. He is being sarcastic.

No one likes Hamas. If the bar for being Jewish is the degree to which you hate Palestinians, especially the children who are dying are large numbers, then that is really sad.

This happened to a scientist as well. They were critical of Trump and were sent back home

They also make some damn good tabletop role playing games.

I don’t know. I thought the MSN did a good job for the most part, especially CNN. I think other things were in play. I think that many voters see a wealthy businessman with celebrity status and they deify them, be it Trump or Musk. Nothing can reach them. It’s their golden calf.

So he’s trying to get conservatives to buy an electric car? Good luck with that.

And he and Elon love to call things illegal that are not. Both are authoritarians.

This keeps happening and Transphobes don’t care. The fact is transgender women that pass are going to keep using the same bathrooms. There is simply no way to protect cis women from harassment, and no way to stop many trans women from taking a piss no matter how hard they try .

Shut it down. There are no guarantees that Musk won’t just remove funding for democrats priorities. Trump and Musk have no integrity. They can’t be trusted to keep their word. The GOP made this mess, they should have to clean it up in their own.

Let’s get real here. YouTube is full of so and so gets destroyed, or so and so destroys someone else videos. And you know what? No one was destroyed. Please don’t pretend that these β€œdestroyed” videos are a democratic phenomenon because we know they are not

I also worry that Trump clearly wants to build economic ties with Russia while using tarrifs on our allies. Could this be a play to strengthen Russia’s economy over Europe? I don’t know.

I don’t think Russia will own Europe. The Ukraine war has depleted them. Europe is realizing then need to be armed and independent. Europe has time to build their forces while Russia rearms. The question is will they do it or will they remain complacent.

03.03.2025 01:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That really depends. Trump is Europe up from complacency created by dependence. It may take 5 hard years for them to replace the USA, but every day more advocates for a strong and independent European military are being created. Does he want a well armed Europe? I think that’s worse for Russia.

First you need to impeach him, only then can he be removed. But let’s face it. He could do something on the level of Watergate or worse, and likely he would survive, perhaps even thrive.

I think Lisa Murkowski is an exception.

Any way you slice it he’s a junior programmer. At that career stage there is just a whole lot of things you don’t know, and many things you can’t do effectively. Having them calling the shots is a recipe for disaster.

I totally agree. It’s the same old crap.

I don’t recall his argument when Joe Biden was doing a student loan forgiveness program. these grifters were going to court to argue against his EO back then.

This guy is either a joke or he thinks we are idiots. It’s likely that both are true.

So after he makes a careless mistake he shows that he did not bother to learn why we send condoms to Africa. These guys are not capable and competent to do real work.

They should have led with pastries. Sure the other things are really fantastic, but they would have had me at pastries.
