Hey Trump, the economy is tanking and your supporters are getting killed. Blue cities are doing whatever they want regardless of the law. How are you going to help us?

Trump: This ballroom is going to be the greatest ballroom in the history of ballrooms.

Vance, it’s time for the 25th!

When is the Tariff-apocalypse going to occur, I was told the economy was going to be dead by now?
 
I think Schumer is desperate. The dems haven't been able to block trump on very much and he is more popular than Obama was at this point in his second term. It also doesn't help that leftist nut jobs are openly killing people. After you loose an election you pivot to fundraising off of how much you are going to block the current administration. I imagine the only money they are seeing are from people who hate trump and would do anything to see his agenda blocked. He also has aoc coming for his leadership position.
After the Harris campaign debacle, a lot of the big Dem donors have jumped ship. The whole party is coming apart at the seams.
 
Rand Paul is fucking up so hard lately that it is making me like Ron Paul less. Smack him, Ron.
My favorite Rand Paul fail moment was the night of J6, 2021. He gave the most impassioned speech I've ever heard from him (he usually speaks like an effete dandy) before they were going on to certify the election. If I recall, it was about 2 a.m., I was watching live. Anyways he kept on going on and on about how after the day events there would be NO Republican that wouldn't certify, yatta yatta, trying to shame the dissenters into relenting.

He was wrong.

It's what they get for being pretend south. Side with the Yankees during the war and still get fucked during reconstruction. Absolutely buck broke.
The state was quite literally 50/50 for and against secession. So, there being no majority the state legislature voted to remain neutral. We were still occupied by the north for our trouble and our elections rigged. but even with all that by 1863 the union was afraid that the state would fall into anarchy and open rebellion. if the war had continued into 1865 of 66 Kentucky would have started to slip out of federal control. the Union army was stealing livestock and burning crops and killing military-age males all over the place. Locally, there was a boy who hid in a foddershock when the Union came knocking. he was bayoneted to death, but not before the hung his father and raped his mother.

One of the stars on the confederate flag is for Kentucky. The provisional KY confederate government was mostly slaughtered at the battle of Shiloh. The state guard defected to the south at the onset of the war led by general Simon Bolivar buckner. he would become governor in the 1880s. His son would be, I believe, the highest ranking US soldier killed in WW2.

As it is the only reason we historically have a democrat governor and vote democrat until the 80s/90s is because after the war we were so fed up with the GOP that we elected democrats (the part of the CSA) for over 100 years!

The southern half of the state raised troops for the confederacy. the northern half, dominated by Louisville and bound via the Ohio river to the north was generally for the union. My grandmothers great grandfather fought in the local confederate union in the mountains. so cut off from resupply were they that they had to resort to raiding and pillaging union loyal towns.
 
I've stood in that very spot! there is a plaque in the deck now. Also fun fact:

The numbers behind the growth are uh, they're something. The economy is not in good shape. Mind you, I'm not saying that the "real" numbers are somehow lower, I just, man I fucking wish they were.

Since the 1970s, consumer spending has been the primary driving factor behind the US economy, which is fine. The US is a developed nation, we have a larger manufacturing base than Europe (despite what some would believe), we still have a robust middle and working class, despite recent erosion, and we still have discretionary income. In Q2, consumer spending declined, and was matched by the increasing corporate spending on AI projects. Let me reiterate, corporate spending on AI has eclipsed US consumer spending. This is widely viewed as "not good," because AI is a bubble, and now that bubble is tied for the largest driving force of the American economy.
 
Trump built his coalition around the idea that welfare programs, like Medicare and Social Security, are popular among his base. This is evident, as those programs are favored by elderly white people, especially those living in Florida. The goal of Trump, and at least the Republicans, is to address fraud and waste, and to disincentivize illegal immigrants from accessing these benefits. They also propose funding these programs directly through economic growth or tariffs. However, the math doesn't add up, and structural reforms will be necessary for these programs to survive. The issue is that Washington only acts when a crisis becomes too significant to ignore.
Trumps still got mostly the right approach. Convincing the elderly whites that the benefits need to be cut to balance the books when its known there's a fuckton of fraud and waste would be nearly impossible. Cut that shit out, then show them the remaining number and you might get some more onboard. If nothing else, slowing the bleeding gives time to convince them or find other solutions.

About the shutdown. There are 100,000 federal employees who took voluntary buyouts that take effect tonight. I'm thinking that Trump want's to claim that they were fired and he's cutting the government. Democrats want to claim that Trump fired them and spin up some sob stories.

I hope this goes through. I am loving the left deciding to end the month by threatening us all with a good time. Reduced government bullshit if the house refuses to spend money on bullshit, and a significant number of feds are getting axed, and those feds are specifically the most politically spergy AND they're doing it voluntarily for us? All I'm missing is a handjob from a halfshave with daddy issues.

How long until they fracture? That's literally the only thing they could do that can threaten the Republicans
2028 campaign season, probably. If the financial backers have stepped out to let the party sort it out, then the party just lost the massive compliance stick it had of manipulating funding and campaigns to get certain people to step out, step down, or trade places to set up their preferred pawns. That leaves the field ripe for actual possible competitors, and while they can pull the "we do what we want" with the DNC nomination, doing so completely in ignorance of the votes cast would be a complete party shatter moment, and losing the party to a random upstart the way Trump took the republicans would do similar damage.
 
Flash robbery is already a problem for places that neighbor Coontowns, and that's before any of the welfare has been turned off. If you truly plan on getting rid of these social services then I hope you have a mass nigger extermination policy ready, because starving apes are worse than ordinary ones.
If the local DA and cops are not actively against the locals, it would be a bloodbath of self defense and justified shootings. It would just be a matter of how far outside of the bughive you'd have to go before you hit the hard red areas, and that's where the new shithole borders would start.
 
Because if you're not careful the average person fails to notice they are batshit crazy and start listening to them.

Those people seriously don’t matter. If you’re waiting for the average person to wake up and notice what’s happening around them, and give a shit enough to do anything that requires getting off their ass, or anything beyond bitching on the Internet or screaming at FOX or CNN in their tv screen, at this point, you need to rethink your priorities. As for voting, most vote party line and have forgot anything they were upset about within a week.

They are mindless drones, enslave them, roll right over the top of them, indoctrinate their children and mutilate their bodies and minds, send in invading armies to rape and murder them. Fill their neighborhood with fentanyl and illegal gang bangers. It really doesn’t matter. They’ll do nothing but scream uselessly into the void and sit in the boiling pot.

What kind of illegals are we talking about here?

Grieving father blasts pols for allowing daughter Logan Federico’s career criminal killer to remain on the streets

Stephen Federico delivered a raw, gut-wrenching address during a congressional hearing in Charlotte aimed at tackling growing concerns over violent crime and repeat offenders — speaking just weeks after the high-profile murder of Ukrainian national Iryna Zarutska.

Tension was already high before the grief-stricken father addressed the committee, after Democratic North Carolina Rep. Deborah Ross mistakenly pointed to a photo of his daughter, identifying it as Zarutska.

“This is my daughter, okay? This is Logan Federico,” he chastised Ross. “How dare you not know her.”
