It truly boggles my mind that people are so obsessed with trump that they can not see reality. How much hate, misogyny, bigotry, etc do these cult members possess? I am so glad that I have a mind of my own. It’s a crying shame that everyone has to pay because of one man’s actions.
I live in the U.K., we have our own economic problems,many of which owe their genesis ( like the USA) to the out sourcing shift of production in cheap wage economies.
However I want to thank David for his clear and easily understandable explanation of the problems facing the American economy, it was a joy to read, especially as he managed to avoid the sweary insult filled rants, even though they are justified, that start to become tedious from over use and detract from the main message that is so important.
He is a one man destruction team, yet they still believe he's in this position to help them. When they can't feed themselves, pay the bills, have their kids die of eradicated diseases, lose their homes and farms, it will be the Dems fault. Such Sick, Sick, sick, delusional people.
People cannot run around increasing tariffs, increasing costs, kidnapping workers from jobs, stealing people off the streets, thinking businesses and farmers can stay afloat and jobs can continue, … when you systematically destroy people, businesses, jobs, and systematically drive food and job and housing insecurities WTF do these people think will happen. This administration is totally inept!
We’re living in a bizarre, parallel universe. Up is down. Black is white. The orange turd tells other countries to bring their money and manufacturing to the US and he then sabotages efforts with racist immigration mandates. Nothing says “jobs, jobs, jobs”, like an immigration raid on the construction site of a new Hyundai EV battery plant in GA. Hundreds of workers arrested and detained. This was supposed to be an economic win for GA, but it can’t even get off the ground thanks to our dictator. Where’s the bottom to the sabotage and depravity? When is enough, enough?:
Apparently there is no limit to this. The ultimate insult is to apprehend fire fighters while fighting a fire. So much for Homeland Security, let the US burn. Got to keep those ICE numbers up.
Well, I voted for Kamala. Unfortunately no woman will be a president for a long time. And add insult to injury, the child rapist was reelected. Are people blind? MY native Hungary, with Orban's "leadership" is in a bad way.
What amazes me is that despite all the thousands people being fired and laid off, the job numbers seem to always report on the plus side. How is that? Someone that gets kicked out of a teaching job to become a clerk at Safeway that is still considered steady employment? Not sure how BLS compiles the stats, but raw numbers does not tell the full story of a downward trend in the quality of jobs and incomes.
All Donnie's own work, plus sending the world into China's arms, but he, like Hitler did, will blame others, but he'll be too gutless to take his own life. The fact that Trump is POTUS gives me no faith in the future of humankind - maybe sensible China will lead and save the world.
Nah. Watch YouTubes about China. If you think we are screwed up, they still make American look better. It is easy to take the "pastures are greener on the other side" approach. However, despite our F-upt president, USA is still better than any other place in the world. We will survive him, not sure the MAGAs will. Pay back is coming.
Placing total faith in the hands of any one person who also controls all the levers of govt needs to change. DOJ needs to be independent so they can hold him accountable for what clearly is crossing the line. For example. running side gigs like Tooth Social and selling kleptocoin should be illegal. Bad mouthing people and companies like news organizations and threatening to use the power of the govt to shut them down is reprehensive. Having the power to pardon friends and punish enemies in not what any president should be allowed to do.
I say this to Repubs, better be nicer to the rest of the US as you will be judged by us on the way down. What goes around, comes around. So enjoy while you can.
Looks that way. USA has more important things like each party investigation the other. China is modern day version of the Trojan Horse. Send cheap stuff to the world and they will ignore human rights abuses and massive buildup of military. Take Taiwan, who cares. Just do not disrupt Trumps tee time and all is okay.
I certainly wouldn't consider YouTube a reliable source for accurate information about China and by any metric the States is very very very far from being great at anything. But, apart from your first paragraph, I agree with you.
I guess we're supposed to start caring for the MAGAts once they start losing their jobs, their incomes, their livelihoods, their health insurance, and their homes because they voted for Trump and foisted him on to the rest of us.
I, for one, do not give one half of a flying f. what happens to MAGAts. MAGAts voted Trump in, thinking he would go after everybody ELSE but them. This is classic FAFO.
Very well written. It’s absolutely galling what we have in America now—it’s like a bad dream that never ends. I hope that MAGA and fickle swing voters like eggs because the chickens are coming home to roost in 3….2…..1…..
It’s too bad that the average citizen can’t reply on Truth Social. Of course trump would blame all of the negativity on the “usual suspects”. I also find it hard to believe that your military blindly does what trump tells them to, even when all of the generals and enlisted soldiers know that it’s illegal and unconstitutional. Too many military lemmings at high levels.
"...it's not broke (yet) so stop trying to fix it..."
The Republicans, under Trump's guidance and vision, have forgotten, or maybe don't want to remember, how the US political system works. Okay, politics is nasty, but it's been around longer than 75% percent of us have been alive. And over the long haul, it isn't going to change anytime soon.
The most important thing in politics is electability; you are nothing unless you are elected to an office. At least publicly, then, the face you present is rather centrist, or should be, to guarantee the maximum votes possible.
Now, what you do after that is up to the office holder, but realizing, again, if you go too far and don't get re-elected, you're still nothing.

Dear Rosemary,
Thank you for your insightful comments. I agree with you on David's ability to sift through the fog and get to clarity. Cheers!
He is a one man destruction team, yet they still believe he's in this position to help them. When they can't feed themselves, pay the bills, have their kids die of eradicated diseases, lose their homes and farms, it will be the Dems fault. Such Sick, Sick, sick, delusional people.
Your commentary is accurate and concise as usual. I can depend on you.
People cannot run around increasing tariffs, increasing costs, kidnapping workers from jobs, stealing people off the streets, thinking businesses and farmers can stay afloat and jobs can continue, … when you systematically destroy people, businesses, jobs, and systematically drive food and job and housing insecurities WTF do these people think will happen.

Thank you, David. I wish the cult would read that. And believe it.

What? Did this actually happen? Firefighters were arrested by ICE while fighting a fire? Or were you citing a hypothetical?

I voted for Kamala too and cried when I saw that trump won. Still think the vote counting was rigged.
Did they really think the jobs report would be good after DOGE fired and eliminated so many government jobs…REALLY????

China rising - USA falling.

Send cheap stuff to the world and they will ignore human rights abuses and massive buildup of military. Take Taiwan, who cares. Just do not disrupt Trumps tee time and all is okay.
China disrespects human rights on an equal pegging with USA and let's not look at USA's despicable ally (Israel).
Taiwan is already accepted as China by the majority of the world. Only a few tiny nations recognise Taiwan because Taiwan bought them.
Belize
Guatemala
Haiti
Marshall Islands
Nauru
Palau
Paraguay
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
São Tomé and Príncipe
Eswatini
Holy See (Vatican City).
