Now the government pays back businesses who will not refund the consumer who actually paid the tariff.
Yet another government payout to businesses at the cost to the people. Maybe was the plan all along.

While the salary is excessive, anyone that thinks that 2 hours of instruction is only 2 hours of work a week has no idea what teaching entails.

You are comparing a lake to a river. And it's still not close to as bad as if it were crude.

It's not like I said a sewage spill is a good thing. It's just nowhere near the disaster an oil spill is.

Now do military contractor spending!

Remember the $2B missing in the military spending audit? No one does because 9/11 happened the day after it was released so we had to spend even more.

Comparing a raw sewage spill, which is about 99% water, to a crude oil spill in terms of environmental impact is either just naive or intentionally disingenuous.

The people are just tired of so much winning.

Yes I can. The quality of the immigrant changed. We used to get immigrants from first world nations, now the majority are coming from 3rd world nations.
I dont care what word salad you throw at me, it's true. And you know it is.

Yes, because all those former immigrants from Europe were the best of the best. All had top educations and were highly skilled and fluent in English.
Do you even realize the racist swill of lies that you belch forth?

An investigation would lead to looking into officer training and setting regulations for their engagement and actions.
We can't have any of that for the brown shirts.

#13 sorry, it should be, "Shall we play a game?"

Actually rocket science is much simpler than running a country, it is straight up physics and math based in facts. Running a country is far more moving and ever changing parts.
The fact that the GOP hasn't figured this out is worrisome.
Remember Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare back in 2015. Then it was, "Who knew healthcare was so hard.". Then in 2024 it was that he had the concept of a plan, after having a decade to work on it. And that is just health care, one little facet of running a country.

The right only thrives in a misinformation environment. That's why all of their primary sources of info are garbage that, at best, use the tactic of having an inflammatory headline and opening paragraph that contains the message they want their mouth breathing readers to walk away with while the actual story is buried further down where they know their readers won't read far enough to get to. Just to give them cover, of course, legally and professionally.
You are giving them far too much credit by assuming that they read.

She meant here in the United States.
Regime change and nation building are finished in the US of A.

This is a national tragedy.
But I guess you can't control the media with free and fair reporting.
Plus too much educational value.
So, they had to go.

@#11 ... Far too woke!...
How do you know that?
How do I know that the religious type people that visit Arc Encounter would feel Disney is too woke?

You don't even need to ask, they will just tell you unprompted.

Betcha this jackass went to Disneyworld too.
Almost certainly not. Far too woke!

If he ever dies... I understand his AI Robot body is almost ready for the cognition transfer.
They are going to create an idiotic pedophilic rapebot?

I hope they all arrive wearing mockingjay pins

so they are making up numbers to suit Dementia Don's narrative. What a surprise coming in January!
Those numbers will look good from holiday sales keeping prices down and seasonal hires making labor numbers look good (look for them to push month to month numbers instead of year to year).
We won't be able to see anything real until the end of the first quarter most likely and by then we will be at war with Argentina and under a state of emergency, so it won't even matter.

Is this to get rid of Melania on the cheap for the next younger wife?

Trump is P.T. Barnum without the morals or business success.

At least our drug costs will be down 400, 500, as much as 600%.
You hear that. Because we will be a most favored nation, you will get paid for taking prescriptions at trump.rx.com

Dear Leader Lord Dampnut needs a steady supply of praise and gifts, or there'll be a tantrum! I DID NOT watch this crap. My wife and I are immersed in "Homeland" on the Netflix. We're in Season Eight of Eight Seasons. It's TV-MA, so there's smoking, drug abuse, extreme violence, cursing and foul language, and sex...lots of sex. My TDS is getting worse.

scarily parallel, but we're further behind, season 2.

Except for the payments he offered to military personnel.
That might have been the only thing he said that wasn't divisive and combative.

And that is basically raising the military budget $2.5B for the year to try and buy votes from military personnel he is about going to get killed fighting Venezuela in his illegal war for oil and rare earth mineral that he believes they somehow stole from us.

Trump will get credit when the economy trickles down the commoners. Considering we are still waiting for the Reagan trickle down after 50+ years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Unfortunately, people will still believe in trickle down and continue to vote for tax cuts for the rich despite tax cuts never having made America Great (unless you are in the top 1% of wealth).
