"The U.S. economy grew at 1.6 percent in the first quarter of 2024 according to the first advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Thursday morning, a significant slowdown from the fourth quarter of 2023 in which GDP increased 3.4 percent. Economists had expected GDP growth to slow in Q1 — but not this much — projecting around 2.5 percent"

Anyone looked at the stock market?
Yes.

My huge stake in ORI lost about 1%. Banks getting hammered, except my shares of DB.

KDP looking good. :cool:

We'll be fine, despite Biden.

Only because his insurrection was a failure like almost everything he touches. It wasn't for lack of trying.
You probably think because an attempted murder failed they shouldn't be charged.
Have you been drinking already today? Please tell me you are just drunk.

You say everything that he touches is a failure. Are you talking about the fact that Trump gave us

1. Record low unemployment among blacks, with record high incomes, with almost no inflation
2. Record low unemployment among Hispanics, with record high incomes, with almost no inflation
3. 6,000,000 fewer people living in poverty compared to when he took over for Obama/Biden
4. Incomes growing at an 8x faster pace than under Obama/Biden, with almost no inflation
5. Brokered 4 peace deals in the middle east
6. Peace in Israel
7. Peace in Ukraine
NOW, What were you saying about everything that he touches turns into a failure?
 
If he had any mental capacity, he'd agree. As it, it's all red meat for his left with zero chance of happening. What will happen though if Biden is re-elected - or elected the first time per MAGA - is that rates will return to pre-Trump as well as bringing back more complicated tax returns due to need to itemize again.

You only gave facts for the first portion of Trump's term. Ya completely left off the entire last portion. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His final numbers are worst since Great Depression.





 
How do have an insurrection these days w/o weapons & numbers? Just curious.
By deploying lawyers onto Fox News willing to lie about election results, employing talking heads on Fox News willing to repeat the lies, using fake electors in swing states, pressuring a sitting Vice President to disregard the electoral college vote and Constitution, calling state/local officials and asking them to "find" votes for you, using social media to strong arm congressional members to repeat your lies, and inciting a violent riot that puts pressure on Congress to disregard the Constitution and send everything back to Republican friendly state election boards.
It was an ATTEMPTED insurrection that only failed because of a few good men and women.

Despite cries from the far right not to.

It seems like we've been trending down for almost 25 years.

Either way, the point stands that the US can only "lead" on this for so long, before India and China cancel out our efforts. At that point, are we going to crush our economy just to say "first!" on global warming? No thanks.

Get the rest of the world on board first.
 
Did Trump leave when he was supposed to?
He ran a giant plot explicitly to try to not. It's so heinous it's been beyond unthinkable for our entire country's history, literally centuries. No matter how bad things got, war, depression, disease, even a pitting of brother against brother, we never gave up our ideals and succumbed to the allure of power. Trump and MAGA did though. The most unAmerican, least patriotic group we've ever had in the history of our country.

Can you imagine a true-believer like Nightwish seeing lawfare in real-time and still be all in?

What new info came to light 3.5 years after the fact and 6.5 months ahead of the next election?

I’m curious as to which trump case @Nightwish84 thinks is legit? Or is it, “Just politics. Trump should get better lawyers.”
Timing is a lame thing to be critical of. If it had happened immediately you would have said it was rushed. How about addressing the actual substance of the charges instead of obfuscating?

Dude.... Why gaslight? Nobody here is that stupid. Give it a rest.

"During the first three years of Donald Trump’s presidency, the economy did quite well. The unemployment rate hit a 50-year low, income growth doubled, and the economic expansion he inherited grew into the longest in American history.

But that all came to a shrieking halt when COVID-19 hit."

Here’s the thing. We, the power hungry, unpatriotic MAGA Republicans know with 100% certainty that the election was tampered with (glass window wallpaper plus a water leak in Atlanta, vote tallies magically changing in the blink of an eye throughout the night, etc. - the things we saw with our own eyes in real time) and yet we still handed over power peacefully as throughout our nation’s history. And NO ONE tried to do anything different.

There was a very reasonable request by the Trump administration not to certify the election results until the inconsistencies had been properly investigated and rectified.

The unpatriotic, power hungry Americans you reference are not in any way, shape or form violent people. Compare their actions to any of the BLM or Antifa riots and get honest with yourself about who is a protester and who is an anarchist.

And let’s not forget that Trump’s administration tried to provide National Guard security on January 6th, but democrats all rejected it. But you may not know that since your favorite congressional committee intentionally omitted that fact from their report and hid the evidence.

Oh, and the government had its own plain clothes agents dispersed throughout the January 6th crowd, and we really have never been enlightened as to why they were there or what they did or did not do to encourage the crowd to enter the Capital.

Seriously, though, keep telling yourself that it’s the Americans you despise so much that are the problem. What is it they say, the LIE will set you free?

Good grief.

News orgs aren't an insurrection. Fox called AZ first for Biden, so how did they support Trump? Asking/pressuring people to do things aren't actions - which an insurrection is. Strong arm? What does that even mean? Were they physically threatened? You can't lump separate independent discussions together & say that adds up to something. Actions are necessary for an insurrection & the only action was a lightly armed riot.
