Kamala spent a billion dollars. Assuming she spent $500M on TV ads, that would mean the buyer's fee was $75 Million. Somebody check if Emhoff was the buyer. If so, Kamala just made herself rich, and she can pay off her own campaign debt.

Mental disorder pandemic. Please wear the blue bracelets so I know who to avoid in public.
Trump just needs to go public with this. Declare war on the whole system. Burn it to the ground. He only has four years. Last time around, Mitch allowed the Democrats to slow walk ALL of his appointments. It took three years to fill all the spots and then his term was over.
Reagan was coming off 9 years if inflation between 5 & 13% with the last four years being 9 to 13%. Net, way more baked in than when Biden came in. Getting it down to 4% was pretty remarkable.It was 8.9 percent inflation in 1981 and never dropped below 3.8 percent inflation two years into Reagan's term. It was at 3.9 percent 4 years into his term.
That ain't Carter's economy 4 years in fool.
The current inflation rate is 2.4 percent as a reference. Good luck going much lower than that without a recession.
We will see what Trump does with the thriving economy he inherited.

You just demonstrated that you still have no understanding of what the situation actually was.
Sounds like a total antifa move to me. Did they use their slingshots ?
My top reasons for voting Trump:
Russian hoax - because no one was held to account.
Stolen 2020 election
Lawfare.
They simply couldn’t leave him well enough alone. America LOVES a great comeback story.

I'll own it. I didn't think Trump could win big enough to overcome the cheating. Vivek was my pick. I'm glad I was wrong!
Oh, I didn’t think he could overcome the cheat either. But always backed him because he *deserved* a second chance at it.
I never thought they’d let him walk back into the White House……unless it was too big to rig.
I hounded all my friends in this state to vote for him. Didn’t care Kentucky was always a foregone conclusion, overwhelm the polls.
Yes, good. Defend the guy who cut a deal with Obama so Obamacare would pass the senate in 2010.
Sen. John Kennedy, the king of one-liners on Schumer not letting McCormick go to orientation.
"He's being petty and needs go file a hurt-feelings report."
"He's being petty and needs go file a hurt-feelings report."
Should be abundantly clear to anyone at this point you don’t survive as long as McConnell did in Washington, and rise to the top of the party, if you’re working for the people. A few crumbs to KY over the years doesn’t wash away his sins.
Obamacare hasn't been the devil we originally thought and has helped many. Were it not for Mitch, this country would not have the many conservative justices we do in all branches of the court system, inc. SCOTUS, and Garland would be wearing a robe. He has also helped this state financially quite often over the years. Defend him, yes, I will.
Wow. Did you read the destinations? Great history tour for liberal socialists.
"Watch Democrat history unfold before your very eyes with stops at/in...
- the greatest surviving slave plantations in the Old South. 3 night stay in shackles and/or servant's quarters. Light meals and daily flogging.
- sail to Africa aboard an authentic replica slave ship from the 1600s, and be stolen from one Portuguese cargo hold and put into a British one! How exciting, right?! This is a leisurely cruise of approximately 80 days, where you'll almost never have to get up for any reason. Everything you need will be brought to you.
- from Africa we will travel through many Middle Eastern ports where you can take part in live slave auction reenactments. Don't worry about bringing money, though. You won't need it!
- from here we will disembark for 30-60 days and travel to mass grave sites throughout Stalin's Russia and Ukraine. See where millions were gunned down and buried in the name of socialism and communism. Reenactments you say? Of course there will be reenactments!
- You'll be shot with rubber bullets by Stalinist officials and buried alive for 2-5 minutes. Don't worry folks! We've got the bulldozer and backhoes working better now (no more mishaps)!
- after surviving your "harrowing" ordeal you'll be "starved" (symbolically of course) for 30 days, and harassed by the Azov Brigade in Ukraine, just as the Ukrainians were last century.
- from there you'll be given a cold, 3rd Reich welcome in Nazi Germany! Spend 3 extravagant days in Nazi death camps filled with socialist propaganda and actual political dissidents. Dress up like nazi guards and abuse dissenters and those of Christian AND Jewish religious faith! There's even a fake, gas chamber tour.
- from German waters we will set sail for the plush refinement of our new Banana Republic leg of our trip! Visit socialist utopias in Central and South America! Tours include the cocaine fields of Columbia and the oil fields and slums of Venezuela. Don't worry California and NY residents, we have something NEW for you, too! You can run drugs and rape mules with the cartels!
- our last leg of the tour will include various stops at the pillar of socialist/communist life, China and SE Asia! You'll work 12-14 hour days sorting plastics and making $300 shoes for $3 a day or a week, depending, and get bagged and dragged from your home for posting about Hong Kong on social media. How thrilling! There's even a "fake," tank crushing reenactment in the real Tianenman Square each day for a week, or until we run out of volunteers!
- optional Batan Death March weather permitting.
- optional Siberian gulag tour, also, weather permitting.
- pandemic hysteria reenactment (pending).
- Kremlin tours canceled until further notice, as NEastern Russia is just too capitalist at the moment.
- we return back to the US with a 3 week, all expenses paid, toiletry free stay on the streets of San Francisco, California. You'll enjoy roughing it with the locals as they bask in the glow of the newest socialist nation on the planet. See the future. LIVE the future, as you wander and tweak, scrounging for scraps in the garbage of some of the finest restaurants on the left coast! You'll even be rounded up in vans and moved to a new location, because of an official VIP, by Gavin Newsome or even Nancy Pelosi herself!
- from there you'll be whisked to Waco, TX to be faux burned alive after a 3 day "standoff"
- the eastern folks will move on to DC, while the west coast folks will enjoy a new "Trail of Tears" walk back to Cali, where they can help stage an insurrection! Dress your soy boy self up in MAGA gear that anyone can buy online, shout Trump slogans, and then "break into" the Capitol Building with an escort of security guards to make sure you're not mistaken as an ACTUAL insurrection, then choose between being shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed, and/or being hit with flashbangs and arrested on one side of the building, OR tearing off your MAGA gear on the lawn on the other side and becoming part of the undercover team beating the crap out of and arresting people that are peaceful protestors! This tour finale is one you'll never forget!
By the time you get back, you won't recognize your country, but at least you'll know there are true shthole socialist utopias you can visit if you need a breath of fresh, burning flesh and charred capitalism!"
Which Justices (or judges) did McConnell have a hand in getting on the bench that have impressed you with their well thought out reasoning and conservative viewpoints?
Hindsight is always better than the original, right? You can nit pick now all you want, but if you don't believe he has been the most influential person in helping shape the courts, then whatever. You also would not see this state have a RED leadership to keep Andy in check.
These people, man. This specific demographic of unstable late Gen X/boomer white female Democrats are luantics. They're the ones in all white suburbs (who goes to dog parks so you know this person has no clue about third world migrants or encounters any other demographic) who ran to report COVID mandate violations. These people would gladly celebrate your death.
We've said this many times over the years but watching the current Democrat voter base has helped me understand history so much better. We wondered how people could be deceived or go along with insanity and yet, we see it every day because (just like we saw with the Soviets) when you own the education system and the media, you can form the worldview of the mentally weak. Tell me this doesn't explain the left perfectly.
In the context of Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution, “useful idiots” referred to Western intellectuals, socialists, and sympathizers who, despite their supposed opposition to autocratic, capitalist systems, were actually unwittingly aiding the Soviet cause and bolstering the Bolshevik regime. These were people who expressed solidarity with the Russian Revolution and the idea of a workers' paradise, without fully understanding the totalitarian nature of the Soviet regime or the consequences of supporting a dictatorship.
The “useful idiot” label was used to describe people who might have believed in lofty ideals of social justice, equality, or anti-imperialism, but who failed to see that they were being manipulated by a brutal, authoritarian system
Not really. It means you have a vision. If you're pessimistic and right you've hit your limit. If you're optimistic and wrong, you then find a solution
Look. Nobody left their house in the world for almost 2 years.
Then Trump sent out 2 checks and Biden sent 1 to the American people.
Once COVID slowed the entire world celebrated by spending like drunken sailors. Couple the spending with the supply chain issues as businesses came back online....Huge demand/low supply.
That is Econ 101 and why inflation went thru the roof.
The US recovered faster than any country in the world and has brought down inflation without sending us into a recession.
Trump doesn't deserve any more crap over the COVID economy than Biden does for the inflation resulting from the economic rebound.
Took Reagan 4 years to get inflation down to 3.9 percent.
Took Biden 4 years to get inflation down to 2.4 percent.
If you want to know why legacy media is dead...this is the most spot on take and absolutely hilarious. His RFK Jr impression is hilarious
Haven't read today's posts but supposedly some of the new Senators Trump helped push to victory went against him in this vote.
And you are just as disingenuous if you give Trump a pass on the Covid economy while completely discounting the inflation that would have slammed any President post COVID.
The world spent almost 2 years in their house while we were getting Checks from Trump (2) and Biden (1).
Once Covid lifted, the entire country and world spent money like drunken sailors.
Couple that with the supply chain issues from businesses slow rate of rehiring and it's no wonder inflation wasn't higher.
Can't give Trump a pass on the crappy COVID economy and then blame Biden for the inflation from the post COVID consumer spending.
COVID was the root of both issues.
100% bs here in TN. We lived our lives like normal other than that one nationally full retard shut down.
We shed our masks asap and were fine.
Don't lump everyone into your cowardly dem run stated hiding n the basement for 2 years nonsense.
@tommyg4uk called it again, correctly, I might add. Gent is amazing.Haven't read today's posts but supposedly some of the new Senators Trump helped push to victory went against him in this vote.

Again, I appreciate them ID'ing themselves. Makes life easier...
It’s amazing how similar the Republican establishment is to democrats. They’re supposed to serve the people. The people just delivered a sweeping mandate for the MAGA agenda, and yet Rs continue to think they’re better than the people and need to do the opposite.
McConnell, Graham, Ryan, et al need to be strapped to one of elons rockets and sent to mats.

You’re a freaking idiot. Do I need to find one of the countless videos of Trump saying we need to open the economy asap while Dems refused? They’re out there. He was quoted multiple times saying “the cure can’t be worse than the disease” which ended up being the case.
Biden kept everything locked down FAR longer than necessary, if they were ever necessary. The MASSIVE increase in money supply falls 100% on the Biden admin. 100%…
I also can give Trump a pass and blame Biden. Trump was acting on incomplete information and was screaming from the rooftops we need to open things up asap as he exited. Biden kept things locked down intentionally while flooding the market with currency.
Bottom line is you’re a freaking idiot that’s attempting to rewrite history due to your extreme version of TDS.

I agree 100%. Happy to move on from the stupidity of identity politics. But that means you can’t pull the race card when we discuss voter ID laws. It also means you’ll have to remove “xenophobe”, “homophobe”, “transphobe, and “racist” from approximately 95% of your response posts.
You sure you can do that? If not, we are back to square one. If so, it just means that up until this point under your current username you have been part of the problem when it comes to identity politics. Given, you did so under the banner of promoting your utopian democratic socialist meritocracy of amerika nonsense gibberish. But you were knee deep in the very thing you now claim the Dems need to denounce. Once again, the term “useful idiot” comes to mind.
But I’m all about turning a new leaf & moving on with intelligent discussions…
Non-Identity Politics Issue #1: Where do you currently stand on illegal immigration?
You have stated multiple times in the past that you think we have more than enough space & resources in this country to let everyone/anyone into America…and that anyone who thinks otherwise is an uneducated xenophobic racist. Is that still your position?
Dem NYC mayor (sanctuary city) has changed his stance on this issue for many reasons…not the least of which is crime rates & lack of resources to sustain harboring them. Of course, the border towns have been dealing with both of those issues tenfold for many years. But I guess it’s good that NYC and its Dem mayor have shed some light on the issue in the northeast and nation wide. Is he a xenophobic racist?
So where ya at, kommrade? Still think the border should be free flow? What do you think should happen to illegal immigrants that broke our country’s current federal laws & are already in the country?
Side note: Plenty of “space” in EKY. I’m curious what you think would happen in your neck of the woods if there were a sudden influx of illegal aliens? What would it do to the budgets of the schools? Do you have a bunch of fluent Spanish speaking teachers over there? What would it do to the crime rates? What would it do to the job market? The economy? The healthcare facilities? What if the population in one of those small EKY cities was suddenly doubled by an influx of said illegal immigrants?
Is there not anyone else in the GOP that SC can run against Graham in 2 years? How does this guy keep getting elected??!
Here is the funny thing about Austin's wise words...you see a quote and think 'did they really say that?'
And you look it up, and they really did say that sh-t haha
I have an opposing view of Obamacare. We reached our family deductible every year in Aug/Sep timeframe. Now, we never hit it and our bills have tripled. I'd guess he has cost us at least 100K. King Barry can go F himself. Oh, and our premiums doubled.
I gave up on the Republicans after Newt signed the contract with America, and then proceeded to do jack squat. Wasted all their f***ing time worrying about Clinton's crank and where it had been instead of dealing with REAL issues. F*** the Republicans right in the ass.
Trump isn't a Republican. He never was, and he never WILL be. He's an independent.
The same reason McConnell kept getting elected in KY. Graham is too powerful for the Republican party to break away from him and devote the type of money and resources to defeat him in a primary. Maybe it would take a self-funded billionaire type to run against him.
Never, EVER, question AustinTXCats veracity, or you're getting knocked the f*** out by a 6 foot 2 inch, 250 pound Clown. 🤣 🤣 🤣
