You sound like a petulant child

You just described politics bud. You think this is unique to Democrats?? Man you are naive

You’re trying to pretend like you knew “inflation falling” means a decrease in the rate of inflation versus actual deflation. Truth is, you didn’t know that. But that’s okay, lots of people don’t.

I’m not asking for you personally to take responsibility. I’m saying you should give Trump credit for what he did rather than pretend that somehow he wasn’t responsible for it.

Oh boy, we’ve entered the lying portion of the backpedaling.

Then you guys should take ownership of it and quit trying to pretend like Trump wasn’t directly responsible for it

His numbers have taken a hit, it just wasn’t enormous. But in a race that he could only win by a kvnt hair, if he even wins at all (he won’t), that makes a big difference. He has got to go

I want state ownership of the means of production? News to me.

This is essentially false and, in fact, he basically already did in many states. You should not be so disingenuous

You are not a conservative. You are a fascist

Whoa boy Some longtime aides and advisers to President Biden have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days they have been trying to come up with ways to persuade him that he should, according to three people briefed on the matter. A small group of Mr. Biden’s advisers in the administration and the campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of several things. They said they have to make the case to the president, who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign, that he cannot win against former President Donald J. Trump. They have to persuade him to believe that another candidate, like Vice President Kamala Harris, could beat Mr. Trump. And they have to assure Mr. Biden that, should he step aside, the process to choose another candidate would be orderly and not devolve into chaos in the Democratic Party. Those discussions were recounted by three people familiar with them who, like others in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. There is no indication that any of the discussions have reached Mr. Biden himself, one of the informed people said. The White House denied the account. “Unequivocally, this is not true,” said Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman. “President Biden’s team is strongly behind him.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/11/us/politics/biden-aides-campaign.html

I meant not Trumptards. Hth

I jumped it because it was a dumb statement. We don’t want negative CPI. We would like it to come down to 3%, yes, but no you do not want negative I probably shouldn’t have jumped on you, but it does matter. Everyone is watching inflation closely and as well they should. But it seems like some people don’t understand that we don’t actually want prices to come down across the board. That would probably be bad. What we want is for prices to increase at a lower rate, and really it only needs to be a 0.5% reduction in the rate of inflation

I mean, I’d like rates to fall too so I can buy a new care without paying 7% interest. But fact is, that would mean the economy is not doing well. Because you cut rates to stimulate spending.

RIP She was in a lot of good stuff

Real conservatives would not have liked that ruling giving the president so much immunity. That is unchecked power, which y'all are supposed to be against. It probably won’t be via killing a rival candidate, but this decision will have severe negative repercussions down the road. It is guaranteed

I see what you’re saying. Typically when we talk about inflation “falling,” we mean the rate of inflation has decreased, not that it’s actually gone negative. Because you don’t want it to go negative. Now -0.1% for one month isn’t gonna kill us but if that trend continued it would be deflation and we’d be in a very bad recession.

Huh? It’s been going down pretty steadily. Where are you getting your info?

Boners at half staff today

I had too many IPAs last night

They’re right. But Biden is also unfit. So it’s sorta irrelevant at the moment. Jesus what a sh1t show

You’re aware they were on a movie set, right? Filming a movie? You know that Alec Baldwin is a movie actor, yes?

Personally I don’t think it’s anything. Well other than whoever is responsible for the real bullet getting on set

First day of trial, Baldwin’s lawyers are trying to walk back his claim that he didn’t pull the trigger. Jesus that was a dumb thing to have claimed At trial, the actor’s lawyers appeared to temper that claim a bit, saying that no witnesses had seen Mr. Baldwin “intentionally” pull the trigger on the set that day. But even if he did, his defense argued, it would not be against the law to do so while filming a scene for a movie. “On a movie set, you’re allowed to pull the trigger,” Mr. Spiro said in court. “So even if — even if — he intentionally pulled the trigger like the prosecutor just demonstrated, that doesn’t make him guilty of homicide.” Mr. Spiro warned the jury against deciding a case based on whether or not a defendant “misspoke” or said something that ended up not being correct.

I do believe that, yes
