Leon could be right you guys. We might be in simulation. People in charge of the most powerful country in the world (maybe still

) can’t possibly be this stupid can they?

The guy playing has to be rough ridin' around and/or maybe just discovered mushrooms or something.

But Senate Republicans are calling for a $5 trillion increase in the debt limit to be included in the legislation, which they aim to pass without any Democratic support, while House Republicans plan to hike the limit by only $4 trillion.

Senate Republicans say the debt limit needs to be raised by at least $5 trillion to push the issue beyond the 2026 midterm election, warning that otherwise the Republican-controlled Congress might find itself in the tough position of having to raise the debt limit another time right before next year’s election.

So, this guy--whom apparently I should take seriously--just said with a straight face that Trump is intentionally wrecking our economy and erasing trillions of dollars from the retirement accounts of ordinary Americans just to lock in a slightly lower interest rate during its next bond-buying spree? You can tell that guy is definitely MAGA, on account of the brain worms.

If the goal was to take attention away from the failed Ukraine and Russia peace deal, mission accomplished.

On 12/31.21 the NASDAQ was at 15,644 by Oct it was at 10,321 a 34% drop. On 12/31/21 the Dow was at 36,338 by 9/30/2022 it was at 28,725 a 21% drop. S&P started 2022 at 4766 by Oct it was 3585 a 25% drop.

I believe this was the "well know a recession when we see it" period. I didn't see a lot of drama queening then . . . and all the President Robo Pen administration did was troll out a bunch worthless bullshit.

Why does he care so much about retaliatory tariffs? Shouldn't he be happy the other countries will be rich as crap too?

I assume the plan is to take the grift coin and truth social proceeds and roll them into legit Fortune 500 ownership stakes once he has crashed the market.

#blueanongE - If you need a great conspiracy theory - #blueanongE delivers every single time

Also, right in the middle of what should have been a colossus of a post Covid rebound, the Pedo Pete administration oversaw a 25% to 30% market correction. But that's when we could call them "corrections" . . . now when #blueanon isn't power it's the end of the world as we know it.

Thus between the 2 factions that reside inside the uniparty . . . the market isn't the real economy clamor has been loudest from the #blueanon side, until they decide it is the real economy, of course.

Yep, it is just blueanonge, here in our echo chamber, that think these tariffs are stupid and bad for the economy. Overreacting, we are.
