The other problem with Long John Silvers is you can hardly control pricing at all in seafood. Certainly there is more farmed fish now but it’s still largely dictated by the wild caught market, which is all over the place but generally trending quite expensive.

That’s not the way inflation is measured but rather as a yearly figure. Because some inflation is necessary and in fact desirable (otherwise the economy is contracting, which is bad mmkay?). So if I said something like golly gee inflation is up 300% since Reagan, things must’ve really gone off the rails! that would kinda make me a focking idiot.

I would imagine it is several times harder. Is it 3x? 5x? 10x? I couldn’t really say for sure, and neither can you

No he did not “lie,” that’s an absurdly stupid statement to make. Obviously the data would betray any attempt to “lie.” The economists believed inflation would recede quickly and it has, in fact, dropped dramatically from like 9% down to 3.5%. But it should be a half a point or a full point lower and, yes, that last little bit has been hard to shake. It’s possible they overdid the stimulus, I’ll give you that. However, that was in direct response to the ‘08 collapse, where the measures taken there were deemed far too little and it took the economy many years to recover. You really need to educate yourself on this stuff.

You’re an idiot. It was not “economic mismanagement” — quite the opposite, in fact. There were concerted efforts to stave off economic collapse during COVID, by both Trump and Biden. It was the right thing to do, and it worked. However, when you pump trillions into the economy, yes, there will be some inflation. Unfortunately the American people are not sophisticated enough to see that it was a trade off, and when they should take 100 times out of 100.

He was the leader of the Birther movement. So, a known racist. But people have short memories. That was a decade ago now (jeez, I’m old )

Well I hope he isn’t the new Archduke Ferdinand -
Not really an avenue you can take, as a Trumper. Too bad you didn’t read the OP. Maybe Alex Jones can put it into a YouTube video for you??

Marco Rubio supports Trump's plan to round up migrants and send them to detention camps

What a great idea, but it doesn’t seem to go all the way in solving the problem. But I’m sure the righties will come up with a solution for that last step. A “final solution”, if you will… -
What I don’t know is if you read NYTimes online or your local newspaper online or WaPo etc, does that count as reading a newspaper or is it a digital source? I’d guess the latter but the article didn’t say. Anyhow, bottom line is if you don’t know sh1t or you get your “news” from Uncle Cletus’ social media feeds, you’re probably a Trumper

Unfortunately, it seems that Trump is likely to win

Trump's NY Election Interference Trial - Trump is found guilty on all 34 counts
IGotWorms replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
Here’s a take from The NY Times, FWIW: Over the course of his monthlong criminal trial, the evidence against Donald J. Trump has piled up. A recording of his voice directing a fixer to pay in cash. Phone calls, text messages, emails and a photograph that illustrate the case against him. And a parade of 18 witnesses who together told the prosecution’s story: that Mr. Trump orchestrated a conspiracy to suppress sex scandals during the 2016 election, and after winning, sought to bury a porn star’s story for good. But the 19th and final witness of their case — the only one to directly link Mr. Trump to the 34 business records he is charged with falsifying — is Michael D. Cohen. And for prosecutors, he was always high-reward, high-risk. Though Mr. Cohen got off to a strong start, Mr. Trump’s lawyer eventually hammered his credibility, highlighting his criminal record and painting him as a serial liar bent on taking down the former president. It was the most significant momentum swing of the first criminal trial of an American president — and with Mr. Cohen’s star turn on the stand poised to conclude on Monday, the prosecution’s case would seem to hang in the balance. Mr. Trump’s legal team argues that it is preposterous to have built a case that could hinge on Mr. Cohen’s credibility. But as the trial enters its final stage and the focus shifts from the lawyers at the lectern to the 12 silent New Yorkers who will determine Mr. Trump’s fate, several legal experts say the case remains the prosecution’s to lose. Between the reams of circumstantial evidence and some very favorable laws underpinning the charges, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has retained inherent advantages. And so, whatever the jurors think of Mr. Cohen — truth-teller, fabulist or something in between — the prosecution did not need them to believe his every word. Marc F. Scholl, who served in the district attorney’s office for nearly four decades and worked on dozens of cases that included the false records charge, said prosecutors have checked all the legal boxes. “If the jury chooses to believe the government’s evidence, then a conviction is warranted,” he said, though he noted Mr. Cohen, with all his baggage, “remains the linchpin” of the case. “The jury does not have to believe all of what Cohen has to say, but they have to believe enough of it.” More: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/nyregion/trump-trial-cohen-testimony.html -
Last denotes there were others. Maybe go with only or sole. HTH

His last term? How many terms has Biden had?

I’m not sure but we could probably find out what @nobody wants

No and if somebody was, I would support it. Totally valid to be a homemaker, great for the kids and an anchor for the family. I wouldn’t begrudge any woman for that

Trump's NY Election Interference Trial - Trump is found guilty on all 34 counts
IGotWorms replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
He can’t be. Even the people that have been there in the courtroom the whole time and seen all the evidence and heard all the testimony — the judge, the lawyers, and each juror — all they could really say is whether they think the case seems strong or weak. No one really knows one way or the other how it’ll all shake out when it’s time for the jury to deliberate. Yet alone people that haven’t heard the testimony or seen the evidence. Just relying on what Fox News or CNN tells them — and we have to, because it isn’t televised. -
No, he’s really not
