    Stock Market bubble - will crash

    Ironically it was the bad news on Friday that drove the market up today: the figuring is that Powell is now sure to cut rates next month. Hope he does.

    Kilmar Abrego Garcia Thread - Garcia may be deported to Eswatini

    The problem with this request, in your case, is that in this thread and elsewhere you have taken the word of ICE and the Trump administration without challenge. And sometimes (often) that has turned out to be false. Yet you question the honestly of an undocumented immigrant. I have no idea if this guy is telling the truth, but personally at the current time I would be much more inclined to take the word of an undocumented immigrant over the word of ICE in just about any situation, since in most cases the former have proven to be much more reliable and trustworthy.

    I’m willing to question the media now.

    All right. A whole lot you here on the right have been telling liberals like myself that the mainstream media is full of sh!t for years, deliberately lying to me and everyone. I’ve never bought into it. Call me obtuse, naive, a moron, whatever. I’m not sure I’m buying into it even now (still skeptical about the “deliberate” part.) But yeah they really blew it. Again. And I’m open to the discussion. Gonna be a long time before I trust the news again.
  4. I don’t hate minimum wage. I’m just opposed to it. But there are about a thousand things about government I would change first before I got around to it. (Like tariffs!)
  5. I don’t believe in the minimum wage. Like a tariff it’s ultimately a tax on the consumer. As such it doesn’t really work because it creates inflation. When I worked for minimum wage in the 1980s it was $3.35 per hour. The increase over time in the cost of goods is directly related to the increase over time in regulations like the minimum wage. In addition it creates a black market which many small businesses (including most restaurants in California) take full advantage of. That being said, In N Out is not a good example of a company that’s going to be significantly hurt by a minimum wage increase. I haven’t looked up the numbers but anecdotally they always appear to be the busiest drive thru around. Corporate stores are usually able to absorb these sorts of restrictions- the real folks who get punished are small business.

    Trump doesn’t like jobs report, fires head of Bureau of Labor Statistics

    He’s absolutely right. You’ve made a series of posts over the last few years which demonstrate your total ignorance on this subject. Worse, your errors have Ben explained to you in detail, many times , and you choose to repeat them anyhow. Impossible to take you seriously.

    Good stuff President Trump has done

    Show some evidence. I’m sick of hearing this claim with nothing to back it up.

    My Steelers will not lose any games this year. If I hear otherwise I will fire the scoreboard operator.

    If the numbers had been accurate for the last three months without any need of revision, she still would have been fired. It’s the results he doesn’t like.
  11. I think you’re missing the actual effect that the tariffs will have a year from now and going forward.

    Yeah I guess since I’m neither leftist nor a fan of corruption, I don’t like any of this stuff.

    I should have given him credit for this, I have in the past.

    Trump’s association with Laura Loomer should be disqualifying in itself

    Because you have expressed so many anti-Muslim comments, and supported Loomer. That’s why you should especially be ashamed right now.
  15. Every criticism offered of the Democrats is dead on: they’re in shambles, nobody likes them, nobody respects them, they’re a total mess. How embarrassing is it going to be for conservatives when the Democrats win big in 2026 and 2028 despite all this? Because make no mistake they will.

    Timmy’s thread for general discussion

    They can talk about me if they want. @Brahma Bulls @Horseman per your pms: my favorite color is blue, I don’t kiss on my first date, and I DO like shy girls. Feel free to ask me more questions.

    Timmy’s thread for general discussion

    Do you realize that 9 out of every 10 of your posts are about me? I’m flattered and also, if you want to send me $20, I will send you a signed photograph. For $40, I will personalize the message for you.

    Didn’t you serve as some sort of police officer in New York? (Some say you were a rent a cop but whatever.) The other day one of your fellow officers, a Muslim, was shot and killed in the line of duty. And this came right after Laura Loomer falsely accused another murderer of being a Muslim and wrote “deport them all.” And not a word from you. Shameful. What an embarrassment you are.

    Timmy’s thread for general discussion

    You seem awfully upset: I changed my mind. Too focking bad for you. If you have trouble with dissenting opinions perhaps you shouldn’t post.
  23. Choose a single sentence that you think is inaccurate and explain why.
  24. But entirely accurate. Which part of that intro was false?
