This ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ is the result of implementing a program by fiat without vetting the plan & examining all the legal angles as well as kicking around the consequences of the decision. $700 M per month in interest on refunds of the tariffs struck down.

Could be viewed as a violation of the oath they all take. But whatevs.

Corporate media is going to give you a pro war slant bc they like the visuals and it gives them non stop content with a
Crisis chyron banner. Itโ€™s why they love Trump.

Donโ€™t watch or watch very little or pay it no mind.

Every single thing Trump has done since taking office again is inflationary.

Tax cuts
Tariffs
Increased govt spending
Military action affecting oil/gas prices

And if he gets a rate cut, that will be inflationary as well.

No worries we do need a sarcasm font. Just letting everyone know how implausible it would be for me to consider both parties being the same. Lol.

Time to coalesce. I didnโ€™t have a vote. I wanted Crockett and I want her to keep going. There is nothing more important right now than supporting the nominee even if he wasnโ€™t your candidate of choice. If for no other reason than the courts depend on it.

Iโ€™m a news junkie since the ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท hostage crisis of 79-80 & been a proponent of all the things progressives claim to want & when I lose an election I figure the answer is to โ€œtry harderโ€ or โ€œtry something differentโ€ I have spent my adult life making the party different from the GOP maybe I failed.

I was being sarcastic. Iโ€™ve been a member of the Democratic Party since 1988. Iโ€™ve been a Dem office holder, worked on many Fed, state, local campaigns in NJ & am counsel to local govts & Democrats.

So I am acutely aware of how the parties are different. ๐Ÿ‘

04.03.2026 13:22 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But both parties are the same. And theyโ€™ll use the same tired line in 2028 too.

Or going backwards. Example: Gaza. By not voting and allowing Trump to win they set the cause of Gaza back decades if not irreversibly altered if the people are corralled to the interior while Trump & friends develop the coastline.

US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking US Southern Command said joint mission with Ecuadorian forces involves โ€˜decisive actionโ€™ against narco-terrorists

This also happened while you were not paying attention. At least itโ€™s a joint operation with Ecuador. Still no Congressional authorization to use the military.

I wanted Congresswoman Crockett to win. Sheโ€™s not done not by a long shot. Time to coalesce though.

Prob wonโ€™t happen. It could be argued Obama, who was technically a boomer, was Gen-X in spirit.

Also, up until recently the largest voting block of a long time. Everything now can be traced back to that generation. Even when POtUS wasnโ€™t a boomer the were controlling the voting.

I mean come on isnโ€™t it obvious that Putin, Trump & Netanyahu all have an agreement to try to help each other stay in power?

Itโ€™s too bad people donโ€™t see that a vote for Harris would have degraded all three, with Netanyahu being the trickiest to navigate but aid prob would have been cut.

Trump Weighs Backing Militias to Dislodge Iranโ€™s Regime The president, who hasnโ€™t made a decision, also said โ€œsomebody from withinโ€ would be the best option to lead the country.

Iran is much bigger and has more firepower than Syria. A civil war there will be years of chaos. Iโ€™m sure that wonโ€™t affect oil prices too much.

All I heard was that things were too expensive and the price of eggs, well gas prices are going up and youโ€™ll be grateful if itโ€™s only a 10% increase.

I was told we were spending too much $$$ on Ukraine and we should spend that $$$ here meanwhile we just dropped billions of money in bombs on Iran in 48 hours.

03.03.2026 12:02 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s why Iโ€™m not impressed anymore. We spend so much $$$ on this stuff - it better work and it better be effective but Iโ€™d rather have healthcare, education and functioning public transit.

Except here Trump is not interested in creating democracies, no weโ€™re back to colonialism where the regime in place is โ€œon our side.โ€ And we profit.

Everything old is new again.
