Sad day. Brian Wilson was a visionary. He changed the sound of pop music.

RIP.

"...want to bet on the Q2 real GDP growth rate?"

I'm more interested in the Q3 growth rate.

Q2 is still affected by inventories, companies which can only survive in the short term if they can't pass on the increases, and consumers pre-buying before tariffs come out in full force.

"We have 10 years of irrefutable evidence that liberals destroyed people's lives just because of the things they say."

Translation: "I'm pissed I can't say "------" and "------" like I used to."

(The bleeped words were nig*er and -----)

I went to the grocery store yesterday. In the specialty cooler, among the $7.49 eight-ounce cheeses from Wisconsin and Vermont, was an imported cheese, clearly subject to tariffs, based on the price:

$27.99.

" middlemen and suppliers have eaten the costs"

They can't, and won't, continue that forever.

But thanks for admitting it's not GYNA paying the tariffs, it's Americans.

"demonstrates a 19 year old passive aggressive sorority girl understanding of the world with a testosterone level to match."

Projection is sometimes laughingly obvious.

"He's currently taking a DR break to work the truck stop"

See what I mean?

"Nearly Half of U.S. Adults Disapprove implies Over Half... Approve"

Only if you don't understand the concept of "undecided".

"I'm willing to spend whatever it takes to track down and persecute each and everyone associated these riots."

My line is quite different.

Prosecution, yes. Persecution, no.

And only if they violated the law; "association" is legal.

"I demolished your false equivalence with math."

Republican Math.

Then I corrected your bizarro claim with Actual Math.

What's $2 billion divided by 11,000?

"I demolished your false equivalence with math."

By comparing ONE incident to OVER 11,000 incidents. That's the height of intellectual dishonesty.

Either your math, or your analysis, sucks.

"JPW loves lefty rioters and believes they should be able to riot with impunity."

Awww, isn't that cute?

Gunga Belle carries water, so he thinks EVERYBODY carries water.

"I'm not sure I've ever encountered someone more full of himself than you in my lifetime. "

Have you checked your mirror?

"Here is the take of an experienced former prosecutor:"

You're joking, right?

"...rioting, arson, and potentially lethal attacks on law enforcement agents in California. Those, however, are muted by the left's longstanding endorsement of political violence and illegal immigration."

Neither side "endorses" political violence, nor "illegal immigration".

I see now where you get your cockamamie ideas: from partisan hacks who'll barf ANYTHING, and know you'll carry water, regardless.

^BKM = BLM, of course.

" 2020: Let it go and it lasted 6 months"

Let what go? Your fantasy?!?

93% of the BKM protests were completely peaceful.

Using the same barometer, the J6 riots were 100% violent.

Not to mention, one was righteously protesting second-class citizenship, the other was a riot to violently overthrow the valid results of a national election.

It takes a classless water carrier to equate the two.

"the speaker of the house denied it."

Stil trotting out that lie?

The Speaker's role is a ceremonial one, as was Mitch McConnell's on the Senate side. Neither ran the day-to-day operations.

Anyone blaming Pelosi, without mentioning McConnell as equally responsible, is purposely gaslighting you.

" I certainly oppose the violence that occurred on J6."

How? Be repeatedly minimizing it?!?

" these are among those picked up by a car that lefties are protesting and rioting for"

They're not rioting for them, the criminals, they're rioting for them, the humans. Because Constitutional rights.

Meanwhile, you're protesting as well...against due process.

"Not a single on topic post."

It's because we know you don't care about crapping on the Constitution if it's you, or those you enable.

We're not laughing WITH you, we're laughing AT you.

"Lmao his ass is about to be deported right back"

Not back to El Salvador.

And in the meantime, he'll get the Constitutional rights he was denied.

Meanwhile, you're chuckling about Trump wiping his azzz with the Bill of Rights.

"the group saw a shocking jump from $12 million to $34 million in government grants in just one year. Some of it from a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda."

Huh?

How is a government grant given from a private citizen?

"Biden weaponized law enforcement against Catholics"

Wait.

So now you're AGAINST weaponizing law enforcement? You've been dead silent for all of these:

Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to weaponize the federal government during a second administration by pursuing revenge, retaliation and retribution against his political enemies. Because Trump is posting primarily on Truth Social, his newly-public social media company with only a niche following, the extent of his threats have mostly flown under the radar. Trump's attitude can be summed up in one Truth Social post from August, 2023: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!"

CREW analyzed over 13,000 of Trump's Truth Social posts from January 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024, and found that while Trump has recently backed off some of his more violent rhetoric, threatening political opponents has been a consistent fixation for Trump. Since the start of last year, Trump has issued direct or implied threats on Truth Social to use the powers of the federal government to target Joe Biden during a second Trump administration 25 times. Specifically, Trump has threatened him with FBI raids, investigations, indictments and even jail time.

"I want to say one word to you. Just one word..."

Updated version:

"Subsidiary Rights".

"According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the tax cuts enjoyed by those in the bottom 20 percent in 2027 would be one seven-hundredth the size of those reaped by the top 1 percent."

The waitress making $25K a year will see about $25 bucks a week.

The average billionaire will see about a million bucks a week.

(Math: 3K Billionaires, $16T Net Worth, +2% marginal bracket differential) = $53,000,000/yr

"I'd change the word "investors" to "savers" "

The author accepts the friendly amendment....
