    Trump Recession Thread (aka Trumpcession)

    In another thread this claim was made: "Hourly wages up first five months of Trump. Highest in 60 years." Figured that probably wasn't right. From Grok, take it with a grain of salt. https://twitter.com/grok/status/1935726427493818486 "How is US wage growth today compared to past years?" U.S. wage growth in 2025 is positive but not exceptional compared to past years. Real hourly earnings rose 1.4% to 1.8% annually, solid but below historical highs. From 1948-1973, wages grew ~3.5% yearly, far outpacing recent rates. Post-1973, growth slowed, with real wages stagnating for decades. Claims of "best in 60 years" likely overstate 2025's performance, as 1960s data shows stronger gains. Inflation and inequality also limit real income growth for many. https://

    Happy Juneteenth everyone

    He is still too busy going after the brown people, he will probably antagonize the black folks next year on this date.
  3. Oh my. I am guessing bringing back lead paint is also on the Trump Administration "to do" list.

    Two Dem lawmakers shot, one dead in MN

    You mischaracterized what I said and argued against that (aka Straw Man). I never said or suggested what LBJ did was acceptable or more acceptable because it was done in front of men and not women. And, no I didn't Google that, someone had repeated that information on the PSF some years back (and it is not something one forgets).
  5. How about we all refrain from speculation and snarky comments until we know what is really going on here?
  6. I am not sure he was making that connection...it was in his stream of consciousness style with perhaps no transition between those two subjects.

    Notice How There Are Only Eleven Political Threads

    13 of the 14 most recent threads at the top of the page of this forum were all started by Bunny. Aren't you all glad you are seeing that instead of something political?
  8. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1935407232407011573 (with link to CBS article) Cuts to FEMA's storm prep program hammer communities that voted for Trump: A CBS News investigation found two-thirds of counties that have lost funding from this FEMA program supported Trump in the 2024 election.

    Typo corrected. Thanks.

    Two Dem lawmakers shot, one dead in MN

    No, Straw Man, I didn't say or suggest that it was OK.
  12. Completely. I don't think that it is too much to ask that someone be called by their preferred name or pronoun (that is an issue of basic respect that everyone should be accorded).

    L.A. ICE raids/protests thread

    I believe so, but that doesn't make a difference with most of this crowd.

    How come everyone stopped attacking Teslas?

    It often seems to be when they start a thread.

    Poor Bunny! And just when it seemed the tide was turning in his favor.
  16. Wait...so they are saying that since Garcia is back in the US, all bets are off and the case must be dismissed?
  17. I wonder how this will be enforced...will people be turned away at the door if they are wearing a MAGA hat?

    L.A. ICE raids/protests thread

    That is what Trump, ICE and the MAGA folks here are saying, just grab them and throw them in a foreign prison without any charges brought against them or any compliance with due process under the Constitution
