Maybe. It kind of ignores some numbers but maybe. I wouldn't bet that is how it plays out, and the RNC wouldn't either, but anything is possible. I know there needs to be come radical changes in something because we are headed down a very dark path. I don't think either party, or any of the...
...cities are more direct and prevalent than those in the rural areas.
Could you image if a democrat president tried to "punish" red states like Trump does to "blue" ones?
I guess we can at least say the country lasted 250 years. 251 is a coin flip.
Sure. Keep telling yourself that, but it...
...Politicians support it, like they always do, because it's the American dream, I guess.

I'm not sure it is partisanship or just selfishness. Trump has causes a lot of Republicans to have an existential crisis.
Fiscal Discipline- Always....just not when my guy is in charge and i'm getting a benefit.
States Rights - Absolutely, unless my guy wants to trample on "coastal elites"
No...
I find this topic to be one of the oddest things about this administration. I suspect they are looking for $$$.

...the company, or buying a bunch of stocks before announcing a pause on Tariffs. This doesn't even include direct payments from corporations to Trump financial entities and the guy has misused these funds for personal use in the past. I guess there is no one to look into it anymore. I just...
Buying NVDA calls
vs.
Reynolds donating $5m to MAGA inc., executives having lunch with Trump a few days later, and within a week the FDA is ordered by RFK to reduce the review process on flavored vapes.
These don't seem different? Member of congress just don't have the same control over...
It would be interesting to see what they say. I tilt toward it being part of the Accountant Full Employment rules.
A couple of things to mull over. Guidance is not a requirement. Many companies have gone away from giving it, but the rest of the them still have people working on some stupid...
...is probably because the solution is clear. See post #335. No one wants that on their record because every American gets a little pain from it. Trump's tax policies made the problem worse. Right now the government has a revenue problem, and I lay that on the Republicans (and American voters...
When did you start the review? Was it approved? Are you sure anyone read it?
I have been told directly they are out to F me, or at least the things I value. No reason the think they were lying.
Some of the cult members were mad they didn't qualify?

...on equal footing with mining, logging, and grazing of public lands. They are not a proponent of conservation but love the other stuff. Even if Trump did a 180 and wanted utility scale solar on public lands and we all collectively hated the idea, he wouldn’t care. He doesn’t give a shit what...
...pamphlet. I can't wait for the new 2026 version. Something about eggs I guess? I doubt it will say gas prices are higher but suck it up because Trump doesn't care. I know he is very proud of the "tax cuts". I made sure to note to him that the "out of control taxes" he cited were from Trump I...
Can't wait until Hunter Biden, James Comey, Letitia James and many others apply. Everyone grab your wallets because that fund is going to need a LOT more money.
I understand the argument. Even agree with it to some extent. The complaint about SS only investing in US treasuries has been made for a long time. I would point out some similarities in public space, for example life insurance companies are forced to invest based on Risk-based capital...
Two days ago they put out a list of things Trump Co bought. 3,700 trades in Q1. Almost no one cares. We are all desensitized to the grift.
