CMRivdogs Posted April 30 Posted April 30 He’s like one of those old Chatty Cathy dolls, you pull the string and one of his pat phrases comes out. Never mind if it doesn’t make sense Quote

The bigger tell is that it demonstrates that they *know* their tariff policies are wildly unpopular. And the reality is that it probably doesn't matter; people are going to put the pieces together as to why they can't find a toaster on the shelf at Walmart in a few months.

Someone needs to ask who exactly running this ****show It's been clear from various statements that he's made from Day 1 that he's pretty checked out in most things that aren't related to tariffs or his own personal vendettas. So yeah, it's absolutely a fair question Quote
oblong Posted April 30 Posted April 30 I'm back in my "tune out" mode because frankly... it doesn't matter. There's nothing that can be done until January 2027 at the earliest if the GOP loses the House. The Senate is a huge long shot. Even then I won't put it past this admin to do extreme events like declaring Martial Law or whatever or to keep arresting judges. Quote

Not gonna argue with your broader point (I'm still paying attention but posting less here)... But with regard to the bolded, I would have agreed a lot more 100 days ago. Much less convinced now. 1 Quote

To frame it in a different way, much like COVID, do not be surprised if it's hard to hide from politics in the coming months. It hasn't fully hit retail yet, but working adjacent to the rail industry, container volume numbers have plummeted. And it really could start reflecting on store shelves soon enough. Quote

Someone needs to ask who exactly running this ****show They can’t bring Garcia back, no matter how many Supreme Courts tell them they have to, because if they bring Garcia back, then they can never extradite anyone to a foreign supermax torture prison ever again, and their ability to do so to anyone they choose, including you and me, is THE key to imposing their will against the will of the American people, which is the objective to help them attain their goal, that being ultimate and discretionary power over everything and everyone in the entire world.

oblong Posted April 30 Posted April 30 They know it does but they have to convince the minions that it doesn't. One the one hand you have cabinet members and press secretaries and favorite media members saying "This will hurt but it has to hurt in order to work" and their boss saying "We didn't do this' Both of those can't be true.

RatkoVarda Posted April 30 Posted April 30 the message will be "a shrinking economy is good for you! it only hurts libtards!" - MAGA will eat it up I doubt the media will bother to explain it is all Trump's fault, so MAGA message will continue to dominate Quote
CMRivdogs Posted April 30 Posted April 30 The mantra for the rest of this Regime will be "It's all Biden's fault". Just like 2017-2021 was all Obama's fault. Trump will never take the blame, just makes excuses. Quote
