I get it though. You made the decision to vote for Trump months ago, even if you won't publicly admit it yet, and you're a bit embarrassed by that. And shit like him taking the CCP's side against America ain't making it less embarrassing. Better to cavalierly dismiss the TikTok Bill as too unserious a subject for this highly intellectual forum. Yeah that's the ticket.

Anyhoo Trump has proposed
* Raising taxes by 10% on ALL imports. Raise taxes on Chinese imports specifically, which is a lot of what we buy, by closer to 60%
* Will do nothing serious to reduce spending on entitlements. Spew word salad gibberish to pretend he's simply going to close the deficit through "better management"
* More tax cuts for businesses! More tax cuts for the wealthy!
* Pressure the Fed to get interest rates to zero as fast as possible. Install a sycophantic goon at the Fed once Powell's term ends in 2026.
If you spent the past 3 years bitching about inflation and Biden's policies being directly responsible for it, you may want to check out Trump's platform and ask yourself if it sounds deflationary to you.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; March 11, 2024, 10:01 AM.

Cutting entitlements is not politically viable. But we can at least manage the problem by restricting access to the feeding trough to only those born in the USA.
Tax cuts are a waste of time and political capital. Nobody is voting for Trump for tax cuts.
If you are worried about who his Fed appointment will be, you don't need to. Just about all of Trump's appointments to date have been swamp creatures.Last edited by Hannibal; March 12, 2024, 09:09 AM.

Mike -- for you....
Florida Legislature passes plan to keep homeless people from sleeping in public (wuft.org)
The Republican-controlled Senate on Tuesday voted 27-12 along party lines to pass the bill (HB 1365), which would bar cities and counties from allowing people to sleep at places such as public buildings and in public rights of way. The House approved the bill last week, and DeSantis has voiced support for it.The bill would give residents and business owners standing to file civil lawsuits against local governments for allowing illegal sleeping or camping on public property.

In retrospect, he should have been running from November 2022 on. I'm pretty sure it makes no difference, but standing idly by when he actually had momentum was a mistake.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Oh, no. He's still a very viable candidate for 2028. He'll be done in Florida in 2026 and can move to a full-time campaign.
His only problem is if DJT loses in 2024 and is still alive in 2028.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
