POLITICAL THREAD

[Lost In FL]

Well, if we're taking the gloves off (THANKFULLY) then I can breathe a little easier.

(starts to do some stretching exercises to limber up, because this could take a while)

Jimmy Carter was, with regard to practical matters, a feeble-minded, indecisive pantywaist.

There is so much to cover that I'm not even sure where to start, so I'll just stream of consciousness.

When he was ordered to Chalk River after a partial reactor meltdown (but not as serious as it was made out to be) to work with the US maintenance crew to essentially shut down the reactor. He, along with several others were lowered, in series, one at a time down to the reactor to shut it down. Carter's ONLY job was to get lowered and turn a screw with a driver for 90 seconds at a time (all the Atomic Commission, at the time, would allow. Anyway, that "harrowing experience" would turn him into a giant pvssy later in life. Stupid, unrequested arms treaties, paranoid, impractical energy policies (that fvcker set nuclear back to the stone ages)

His foreign trade agreements penalized American farmers severely . Which, as a FARMER, he should have known better.

with regards to foreign policy, he was a gigantic, blown out vagina. All of his heroes were communist dictators; Castro and Chavez for example. He was also an antisemite that would have probably paid good money to give Yasser Arafat fellatio.

He formed perhaps the most useless government agency in history, the Dept. of Education in 1979

He practically INVENTED the "meddling/interfering" pain in the ass "ex-President" role by constantly jaunting all over the world, to demean the United States.

He was a preachy self-righteous bastard, that liked to pester the American citizens, whom he detested; constantly lecturing them about turning down the HVAC, only driving 3 days a week etc. Insinuating that they should just get the f*** over it because there were more serious matters at hand. He went so far as to try and strong arm Congress into passing a national gas rationing bill/law.

He was, according to those that worked with him closely, and knew him on a deeply personal level, a fvcking mean-spirited piece of sh*t; He was petty, a sore loser, and basically a sanctimonious prick.

Hunter S. Thompson, of ALL people, said Jimmy Carter was one of the meanest guys he'd ever met.

I'm not sorry to see that old bastard go. Wish it had happened sooner. There, I said it.

These are just the highlights that come to mind right now. I could probably fill a notebook about what a horrible president and POS person he was.

You been holding that in for a bit, there buddy?

Pretty extensive list!

Have you noticed that your world view is that anytime anything goes wrong with democrats or someone you don't like does anything it's supposedly bc of money or greed?

Do you think grocery stores just go, you know what, mark that up 2 bucks?

You are 100% a government employee.

It's basic economics. Stores have extremely thin margins...like barely 2%. You know all that stuff in them? It doesn't magically manifest in the store. The vendor, say farmer, has higher labor costs, higher costs for materials, equipment, the fuel they use to harvest. Do you know how mich fertilizer is now? That's passed on. Those magic inventions called trucks, aka freight, don't run on feelings, they run on fuel. It costs to bring them there. It's passed on. The shelf life of perishable food is short, you have an expense and if you dont sell it, it's a loss. The store itself isn't utility free, they have air and heating, electricity.

Have you ever considered you live in a fantasy reality?

So says the MAGA that blamed every penny rise in the price of gas or eggs on Joe Biden.
No consideration at all for post Covid supply chain issues inflation and a freeze on Russian oil/gas due to a war in Ukraine.
Try some of your own logic on yourself.

Your total lack of class or humanity is the least surprising thing of the day.

 

[HymanKaplan]

I'll take that as the compliment it is. Do YOU want some?

Carter was a blight on this country, and f***ed the American people at every turn, so I'm sure he's your hero. You probably did a monosyllabic report on him in grade school.

If it weren't for idiots like you, morons like Carter and Biden wouldn't get elected in this country.

US unemployment surges to a Depression-era level of 14.7%

WASHINGTON (AP) — The coronavirus crisis has sent U.S. unemployment surging to 14.7%, a level last seen when the country was in the throes of the Depression and President Franklin D.

apnews.com

Memory refresher.

The Labor Department said Friday that 20.5 million jobs vanished in April in the worst monthly loss on record, triggered by coast-to-coast shutdowns of factories, stores, offices and other businesses.

The breathtaking collapse is certain to intensify the push-pull across the U.S. over how and when to ease stay-at-home restrictions. And it robs President Donald Trump of the ability to point to a strong economy as he runs for reelection.

Looking back now at the Deep State and the interference in the election, it is very clear as to why Fauci and the rest closed down businesses. Sometimes the AP lowers the mask and allows the truth to slip.

Any post covid supply chain issues for basic goods went away a couple of years ago.

Freeze on Russian oil/gas.....who has been the POTUS during this war? Which POTUS has given Ukraine BILLIONS?

Fauci my ass. It was a GD worldwide pandemic involving a novel coronavirus humans had almost no immunity to.
People were dying by the tens of thousands ACROSS THE GLOBE.
Yes it shut down the economy. Did government overcorrect in its response? Probably, but they were attempting to save lives.
You seem to have forgotten that even in deep red states the governors like Abbott and DeSantis imposed heavy restrictions for a period of time.
Masks were a minor inconvenience to us adults in the room.

Inflation has steadied since then as well. Biden has made some mistakes in his Presidency but Ukraine wasn't one of them.
BTW....
US stocks are about to achieve a feat so rare that it’s only ever happened a handful of times.

The S&P 500 is set to gain over 20% this year after rising 24% in 2023. Back-to-back gains of over 20% would be the best performance for the benchmark index since 1997 and 1998.

Grocery stores have around a 2% profit margin you nut. Their profits went up because 2% of a much larger number is still a larger number.

Like clockwork, I knew this same thing was going to be parroted on here again. 2% lol. Executives of major grocery chains have admitted to price gouging. Not going to link them again. You clearly know how to use a computer and probably can google something without help. To pretend like price gouging isn’t happening is moronic. And to pretend like Trump can get them to lower prices and profits is even more moronic.

 

[sammysdad05]

How many years in a row have we brought in more than the cap?

Google it. If they’re over the cap, then that’s a problem in and of itself.

No doubt lots of things can raise prices. I’m speaking specifically to the price gouging that major grocery chain executives have admitted to. I guess you’re cool with that?

Also Trump campaigned that he would lower prices day one. But has already walked that back and said “once prices go up like this, it’s hard to lower them”. Gee I wonder why that is.

 

[sambowieshin]

Seriously? Your comments after the Trump assassination attempts, lets say that you hold yourself to a completely different standard.

Never said anything disparaging or hateful about Trump regarding the attempts on his life.
Only thing I recall is hypothesizing that his rhetoric and election denial may have contributed towards unstable people feeling violence is the answer to our leadership choices. Basically the ballots vs bullets viewpoint that if you feel your vote doesn't matter then some may resort to violence.
Never said I advocated that.
Never said I wished any violence on him or anything close to that.
You're confused as hell like always.

Really good idea by Homan. The media is going to try to portray everyone being deported as innocent people...a weekly update to the contrary showing just how many murderers, rapists, child molesters, gang members etc. that Biden unleashed on the American people will serve to destroy their narrative. But as Homan always rightly points out...'Every illegal alien is a criminal.'





"Homan, while talking to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, was asked by the founder about his thoughts on how to prepare for messaging from media outlets surrounding immigration.


Homan said, "Immigration enforcement has always been controversial. It's always been emotional. I get it. But we're a nation of laws, and we're going to enforce those laws. If you come to this country illegally, that is a crime. I'm sick and tired of hearing illegal aliens commit less crimes than American citizens. Every illegal alien is a criminal."

Homan told Kirk that he has had a number of death threats made against him since being appointed by Trump and did not bring his family to the event.

"So the hate's coming," Homan said. "But we need to control the messaging. Right? So I've told President Trump that what we need to do, do a weekly press briefing. Let's show the American people who we arrested, why we arrested them. Let's show where we arrested them. What kind of bad guys we arrested in that sanctuary city."

Homan is going to be the Sheriff Grady Judd of the border.

You are sadly a troll who steps on a rake every single time he opens his yap. Do you know how to read? Seriously? Do you. Or do you hope that you can make up something to toss against the wall and hope it sticks.

Thanks Rump, Post election he says. Then links this to support his "headline":

The Dow plunged Wednesday on a disappointing outlook from the Federal Reserve. In the process, the blue-chip index extended its losing streak to 10 days — the longest such stretch since Gerald Ford was president.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day down about 1,123 points, or 2.6%, after the Fed indicated in a policy statement that it is forecasting just two interest rate cuts in 2025, not the previously projected four. The Fed now anticipates inflation will remain stubbornly above its target range for longer than it had initially expected.

Back to a previous discussion about your economic illiteracy...this is a perfect example. Stay in your lane babysitter.

Price "gouging" is a loaded term. It is inflammatory and apparently works with simpletons. First off, you are exaggerating greatly about a cherry-picked statement by a Kroger exec that they had raised the price of eggs and milk "above the inflation rate." Is there some law that you wish to quote stating that a business cannot raise a price on an item by more than the published inflation rate? Seriously? This is completely a red herring. So what. If Kroger raises its price on eggs and milk....then freaking go nextdoor to Walmart to get them. That is how a free market works. Is there anything else I need to explain to you?

I deleted most of your outstanding post to focus on his farm policy. My dad is a now retired farmer, and when Carter imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union after their invasion of Afghanistan, it caused a major collapse in grain prices. This at a time of high inflation. It caused a lot of economic pain for farmers, our family included.

My dad never forgave Carter for that.
