Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Because one day in the future, it will get better. Right around the time Trump and his cronies aren't involved with it anymore.
He did say he would lower prices on day one, and prices on day one of his presidency were definitely lower. So he delivered, you just have to think backward in time.
Ooh, this thinking in reverse thing is really filling me with optimism! America ditches Trump for Obama, women gain abortion rights, … Hmm
don't go back too far.. you'll run into a mediocre actor, worshiped by the right, undoing everything and mortgaging the future to give tax cuts to the wealthy.
Yeah, like playing a country record in reverse: your wife comes back, you house unburns and your dog undies.
My dog undies what? What did my dogs undies do damn it?!
Dude at least your dog wears undies, mine just freeballs all over the house just nuts and butts to sofa.
It's a transition period into a bigger recession.
It’s a transition into a depression.
Optimistic scenario: the Great Depression ends up getting renamed, the way they had to rename the Great War when World War 2 happened.
Pessimistic scenario: Economists are forced to invent a third "-ession" word to describe what's going on.
Some people on wall street say we are going to have the greatest economy in history
Im not very educated about these things, but which countries have isolated themselves from free trade and are rich?
lol none that I know of.
WELKER: Some people on Wall Street have expressed concerns that the possibility of a recession is increasing. And I wanna know what you think about that. Are you comfortable with the country potentially dipping into a recession for a period of time if you are able to achieve your long-term goals?
TRUMP: Well, you know, you say some people on Wall Street say. Well, I tell you something else. Some people on Wall Street say that we’re gonna have the greatest economy in history. Why don’t you talk about them? Because some people on Wall Street say this–
WELKER: Well, that’s what I’m getting at. That’s what I’m getting at, though. It’s the same question.
TRUMP: There are many people on Wall Street say this is gonna be the greatest windfall ever happened.
WELKER: And that’s my question. The long term. Is it ok in the short term to have a recession?
TRUMP: Remember this. Look, uh, yeah. It’s– everything’s ok. What we are, I said this is a transition period. I think we’re gonna do fantastically.
I fucking hate Interviews where the person asking the question is also giving them an out. Welker is literally giving Trump an out and could just say, it's long term.
Leave that part out because there is no long term gain, unless you are Trump or Putin.
This is exactly why I posted the entire exchange. Even an MSNBC interviewer is providing cover in this interview.
Or just a simple “Who says that? Nobody is saying that. Give me a name.“ Uno reverse his stupid ass.
The media in this country is useless. They now think their entire responsibility is to offer a platform for the MAGA Nazis to spew their propganda, unchallenged.
Okay for him but not the American people.
Well they shouldn't have voted for it or sat on their asses last election then.
