Tariffs...what to make of them.

The NY felony case was a malicious political prosecution, timed to inflict the most damage to Trump during the ‘24 campaign. Even Bragg said previously that there was no case, of course that changed when the timing was right. An assistant AG even left the DOJ to go help Bragg prosecute Trump, Matthew Colangelo if anybody needs to verify.

34 misdemeanors, turned into felonies by combining with crimes that weren’t disclosed until after closing arguments. Even then the jury didn’t have to agree on any particular crime to convict. Was always under the impression convictions need to be unanimous, the SC thinks so. Gag order on Trump while everybody else gets to say whatever they want including the judges daughter, who was raising 10’s of millions of dollars off of this. Kangaroo court, wouldn’t even allow a proper defense and testimony. An NDA and extortion payment is not a campaign contribution and even if it was you can give as much money as you want to your own campaign.

The goal was to label Trump a felon and again get Stormy to tell everybody the story behind how she extorted Trump in the headlines. Pretty sure it backfired spectacularly but now you can throw around the felon label until the appeal happens. It won’t stand and those behind the lawfare should be held accountable with their methods exposed.

This right here.

Want to know why Biden had to pardon all those people at the end like his family? Because the legal system went nuclear against Trump and set the precedent.

Trump is a complete scumbag. I'll lose my voice having to go down the list of reasons he's a complete piece of shit and shouldn't be president. However if I hear one more motherfucker call him a felon because of fucking incorrect accounting that nobody else goes to court, much less becomes a felon for I'm gonna go all Luigi...

I have an honest question, who runs for president on either side next year?

Assuming you mean for 2028, possibly JD Vance and whoever the dems nominate. The DNC is deeply in denial though on why their candidate lost. When they asked at their recent meeting who thought they lost because of racism and misogyny, everybody raised their hand. So expect plenty of mud slinging the next few years.

That’s one theory….

Edit… fuck it.

The democrats knew for 3 years biden wasn’t fit for office. How many times did we need to see the guy have an episode on live TV? He could not complete a single sentence without slurring or losing his thought. He should have been in a nursing home. Instead he was propped up like he was in weekend at Bernie’s.

It was embarrassing as a nation that he was our elected leader. Which makes you wonder who was really in control.

For whatever reason, the democrats wanted Kamala no matter what and were probably scared she wouldn’t get the votes to run as the democratic nominee. So they waited till the last minute when she was the only option.

The is just my theory and maybe I don’t know shit. But my vote counts just as much an anyone else’s. (Other than PA residents).

Exactly. Biden was an experienced human put in to take out tRump. Once that was accomplished, and I mean immediately after, the DNC should've been vetting and grooming the next Democratic president. tRump would've been crushed with a well orchestrated hand off. I'm surprised, personally, that Biden lasted the whole 4 years. And couldn't believe he was running again in 2024!

Not saying I agree or disagree with Elon Musk running DOGE and trying to shrink the government. People are screaming that he's unelected. It's been really interesting to me that he's doing this in an appointed position by Trump who was elected while during the last year or years of the last administration nobody knew who the fuck was running the government. We just knew for sure at the end it wasn't Biden.

I don't have any idea of the inner workings of the Democrats so I have no idea WTF the plan was, if there was a plan. But certainly there had to be a contingent that knew that Biden was falling apart and probably un-electable and Harris was even worse and they didn't get their way. Harris was probably the worst candidate for president in the sense of being elected since the invention of the radio when it came to getting a message out, and I'm including Trump in that who's message is so mixed. The Biden-Harris donations being available to her and no one else probably played a huge role, as did her being a well known, if not well liked figure.

It's crazy to me though that she was the one they went with. I think MANY people in the country would have gone for a middle of the road Democrat candidate that had at least a smidgen of being relatable. She was selected too late in the election cycle for someone else to get nominated, but too early in the cycle where she got enough face time for people to dislike her.

If you're interested in what happened in the Harris campaign that lead to a lot of her failure, this episode of Pod Save America was a great listen. It had on the people who ran her campaign being interviewed on what happened.

Shadow government runs it all. The Clintons, Rothchilds, Bush's and the biggest corporations.

I don't disagree to much except for musk and his hackers going into treasury or social security where they can get access to your direct deposits and banking accounts or anything along those lines is wrong and criminal. If you love freedom or a Libertarian these steps over the line for me.
 
The billionaires own the country now. There are 13 on trump’s cabinet. Their blue print for the country is Mexico. It has a very small ruling class, a small middle class and the rest are just workers. The rich now have control of justice department so there will be no justice for them and theirs, they will use the media that they own to set the little people against each other so they can take everything . There will never be another free and fair election because they will not give up the power they paid for. Like Russia the government will only have 2 purposes, one is to protect the rich and their stuff. The other is to funnel everything of value into the pockets of the rich. For all those non rich people that voted republican, congrats you did this. Please enjoy watching the rich take everything and making you pay for it.

So we can look back 4 years from now SPY all time high $610.78(1-24-2025), QQQ all time high $538.28(12-16-2024) DIA all time high $450.36(1-31-2025) and IWM all time high $244.25(11-25-2024). So the democrats left Trump with a pretty stout stock market and your 401k at all time highs(or close enough).

If the economy stays strong for 4 years, maybe Don Junior? Ivanca? Or will the Trump train be over by then?
 
I watched The Octopus Murders on Netflix. Holy shit, I don't know what to believe about our government after watching that and watching our country over the last 5 years.

Bro, every six weeks for the past five years you have posted on this site that the economy was on the verge of collapse at any moment. Yet the Dow grew by almost 15,000 points.

Bro, for the last six years you posted a new thread almost ever six weeks noting the economy is about to crash any day - Are you now noting the economy was better than you projected or are you just trolling?
