Kamala! Fuck Yeah!

[twocoach]

When you stand for nonsense, it's easy to accept nonsense as supporting evidence for your argument.

[JKLivin]

It is easy to swear and blow off objectively good people who will still uphold their oath of office and keep the country running. But Psych's reaction to a MAGA caller would make him an enemy of the state. Not a lot of bravery but a ton of posturing and feces flingin yelling at Harris campaign staff.

Kamala and her followers are enemies of this country. Sadly, the more I read on these boreds, the harder it is for me to believe that anyone who supports her and Tampon Tim could be objectively good people. And that’s a drastic shift from two months ago.

Why, because we refuse to accept your bullshit as truth?

Because you support policies that are destroying our country and with it, my children’s future.

[JKLivin]

such lies

So tired and repetitive.

you’re catching on

maybe you aren’t as dumb as you post after all

do better

You are welcome to use the Ignore feature that is available to all bored patrons.

[Overlander]

Such bravery.

Come by and see me. I can tell you the same if you like.

Bully much?

[KUTradition]

such a fucking clown

Name one future path that has been taken from your children due to the policies of Biden. Name one future path that would be taken from your children due to the policies of Harris. Be specific, not "brown people bad!".

Our nation is not being destroyed and our children are doing just fine. My daughter is 21 so she has lived the vast majority of her life with a Democratic President and she wants for nothing, has been well educated, and is proceeding towards her career goals with a very realistic chance to achieve those goals. If she isn't able to, she has Plan B/C/D options available to her as well. Her future is bright and she will probably make more money than me by age 28 than I make today. She will have to save more money for a down payment on her first home than I did, just as I had to save more than my parents did for their first home. But she should be able to with what she will start out her career getting paid.

[Sparko]

So Psych can rip on democrats while safely pandering to fascism. QED. But he better vote democrat to be sure there is a future. Trump need never know that part

[JKLivin]

Such bravery.

Come by and see me. I can tell you the same if you like.

Bully much?

I can never aspire to reach your level of greatness. See my new sig line as evidence. Your words immortalized.

such lies

Lies in the service of fascism. And when they come for him. . .

They will never "come for" the rubes. The rubes are pixels on the screen of the billionaires they idolize and worship; pawns, minions, human afterthoughts.

As such they will just be random casualties of friendly fire in the culture war. Cannon fodder.

As long as it is for a "noble" cause....they are nihilists wanting to burn everything down due to their lack of satisfaction with their inability to achieve what they thought was their birthright. They resort to carrying bibles as cover for their own immoral behavior and to virtue signal that they believe in something.

They believe that THIS is all someone else's fault, they did all the right things, but their happiness was "stolen".

And most likely it was stolen by a non-english speaking brown person.

They are working with Satan to achieve god's plan!

Their orange jesus is very proud of them and pronounces them good patriots in the noble cause of his self-enrichment.

i think of it like I think of fantasy football. There are players and there are payers. Some people are playing to win the money and some people are just funding those winnings. Regular people are just here to help transfer money to wealthy people. Elon Mush isn't giving tens of millions of dollars to get Trump elected because he believes in his mission. He is doing it in hopes that it will get him ever more money, which it unequivocally would. He openly admitted that to Tucker Carlson.

I'm not the one who publicly called for a truce and then keeps passive-aggressively talking crap.

[Overlander]

So, just help me out here Counselor.

I am a bully and you had to jump in and save someone from my wrath. (Weird, grown men should be able to take care of themselves).

Any comment that I make, ( while going out of my way to NOT incite a fight) you act like you have been attacked.

If a “truce” requires that you (who profess to be capable of handing yourself), need to be handled with kid gloves…just say so.

Thanks, Kamala and Joe!

Solid labor market fuels real GDP past pre-Covid, pre-Biden admin. growth views: report (From SeekingAlpha)

Markets have tuned into the soft-landing narrative about the U.S. economy throughout 2024, and a new report shows the economy has more than recovered from the recession blow dealt to it by the COVID pandemic, buoyed by employment at a near all-time high.

The nonpartisan Center for American Progress in a report Thursday credited bipartisan congressional work during the Trump administration and the Biden-Harris administration’s continuation of economic stimulus for pushing real Gross Domestic Product beyond growth projections made by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

CAP said “robust” employment hovering around its all-time was key in driving real (chained dollar) GDP to $23.22T in the second quarter of 2024. It highlighted the U.S. employment-to-population ratio at near its all-time high when adjusted for demographics. The 61.2% figure for September was just below the 61.49% in April 2020, as the global pandemic was unfolding.

High employment has helped bolster inflation-adjusted wage growth, leading wages to record highs, it said. Wages grew 26.3% between February 2020 and this September, faster than a 21.4% increase in consumer prices.

For Q2 2024, the CBO in January 2020 had forecast real GDP of $22.7T, and in February 2021, it projected $22.9T for Q2 this year. This year’s Q2 result from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis meant real GDP was 2.4% ahead of the CBO’s pre-COVID projection, and 1.6% ahead of the pre-Biden-Harris policy estimate.

The “economy in 2024 is stronger than experts had predicted it would be in 2024 before COVID-19 even happened. And it is stronger now than it was projected to be by 2024 at the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration,” Bobby Kogan and Brendan Duke, senior directors of federal budget policy and economic policy, respectively, at CAP, said in their report.

“Learning from mistakes made in prior recessions, Congress passed recovery legislation that prevented economic scarring and instead ensured a speedy and full recovery," they said...

[twocoach]

It's as if our country isn't actually being destroyed...

[KUTradition]

it’s like the exonerating evidence that never came…

and the evidence of a rigged election that never came…

and on, and on, and on…

[japhy]

It would explain the dividend income I keep getting in spite of the economy being described as "going to shit".

Maybe you are on to something Shirley.

But it would be good to wait for the message board economic Cassandras to weigh in.

Then why aren't people doing better? Why are they still unable to afford groceries and cars and homes? Why are they still working multiple jobs? You can play numbers games all you want, but until people see a difference in their bank account and pocket book, they won't care. That is one of the main reasons why Giggles will lose and lose badly.
