Nope. I haven't reported anyone here since I returned to this forum a couple years ago after a 16 year absense.

Well, this should make everyone feel better. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/04/10/trump-acknowledged-he-could-cause-a-recession-but-just-didnt-want-a-depression-according-to-wsj.html Trump acknowledged he could cause a recession, but just didn't want a depression, according to WSJ KEY POINTS President Donald Trump was aware the economy could enter a recession, but wanted to avoid a depression, from his tariffs, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Kevin Hassett, director of the U.S. National Economic Council, told CNBC on Thursday that the collapsing bond market contributed to Trump's decision to walk back his trade policy.

I'd like any information. All we got is video of Drag Queen Story Hour without any identifying information as to location and the story behind this.

No, but stay tuned.

This appears to be a Drag Queen story hour at a school somewhere in the UK. Of course an actual link explaining it and providing any details is not provided by the OP. How do we know the reader was a male prostitute just from viewing that video?

"jonmx please pick up the white courtesy phone"

I hope so too. And I hope you can all mock me unmercifully for acting like Chicken Little when the prediction of a Trump recession doesn't happen.

No I don't. I never said he was "sharp as a tack" lol I thought he was competent and many of the videos were selectively edited to make him look bad. And I saw the State of The Union address where (with the except of one gaffe) he looked fine, but his critics can't explain that.

He caved. He folded, he doesn't have to say it or announce it. It is obvious he folded and it was because he was afraid.

Because there aren't any. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1910070249438785622 New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

https://x.com/EdKrassen/status/1910047464838852636 (video clip at link) Trump just admitted that he folded on the tariffs because people were getting "yippy" and "afraid." What do you think China will do now? That's right! They will wait for Trump to fold as well. The Art of the Deal? Yeah, right!

The usual suspects here don't agree, they are already spinning not caving on China as a huge strategic victory on Trump's part (and, no I don't get that either).

Fun Fact: Democrats never proposed the same tariffs as Trump.

Commie? Guess that makes Rand Paul and Ben Shapiro Commies too (who'd have thunk it?)

Let's see how this plays out with the US and worldwide economy. https://x.com/EdKrassen/status/1910021401676824850 BREAKING: Trump just announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs and the 10% tariffs effective immediately.

XX-XY Athletics? You can't make this stuff up.

Yeah, a way lot longer until 1939, although many historians say the Great Depression ended in 1941 due to WW2.

It was the IRS who promised this and I believe it preceded Biden's term in office, although I don't know the exact starting date. https://abc30.com/post/department-homeland-security-asks-irs-turn-unauthorized-workers-addresses/15985583/ Many undocumented workers have paid federal taxes for years using an IRS program that allows them to report their earnings, regardless of their immigration status. Since the start, the IRS promised to not share their information.

It might as well have been. When the US government makes a promise and gives it word, that should be honored, but obviously you don't feel that way. SMH.

Oh, we get it all right. We get that the IRS made a promise to these folks that if they compiled with the law and filed tax returns, then that information would not be turned over to immigration officials. Now the government is breaking that promise.

"BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!" - President Donald J Trump (this morning on a social media post) That is reminiscent of the quote attributed to Herbert Hoover as the US economy sank into the Great Depression of the 30's: “Prosperity is just around the corner"

Obama inherited a bad economy. Under the circumstances he did pretty good (and the American people thought so too as he was reelected).

Oh, yes, such a joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States In the United States: 103,436,829 confirmed cases 1,193,165 confirmed deaths

Exactly. Getting a Social Security number doesn't mean you are receiving or will ever receive Social Security benefits.

Exactly, Like the MAGA crowd will do now the jobs of migrant workers and picking crops if there aren't enough undocumented workers to do it after all the Trump deportations.
