@#1

Just wait until the deep-red mid-western farm states start chiming in.

@#42 ... I understand what they are.

The increases were 10-15% or more for certain types of items. ...

That seems to run contrary to your alias' #5

... They're just saber rattling. ...

So...

is the Walmart CFO just saber-rattling, as your alias noted in #5, or ...

are we now to believe your alias' opinion that it's greed-flation?

But more important, why the apparent change of story by your alias?

I mean...

... I was working in accounting/payables in a commerical industrial environment purchasing raw materials directly impacted by tariffs. ...

Yeah, that raises questions.

@#3 ... The lawbreaking hasn't began in earnest yet. ...

Can you say, "Presidential immunity?"

I knew you could.

@#2 ... No problem, as now the dem can promote the idea of replacing them with social workers.... ...

Was that the issue that caused them to resign?

@#34 ... So now the dems care about/like WalMart? ...

Why not listen to what the Walmart Finance Chief has told to Fox News?

@#1 ... Who you gonna believe, those running a wildly successful international company for six decades or a pancake makeup-wearing, hair-dyeing, senile mook who went broke trying to run a gambling den? ...

And....

Dragging this thread back on topic after both the BillJohnson and shrimptacodan aliases have both seemed to have attempted to deflect it off topic. ...

So...

@#32 ... Was Harris ready for the world stage dealing with China and Russia and Iran, etc? ...

Instead of dealing with they imagined politically-stained hypotheticals of a Harris Presidency, I'll ask...

Is Pres-elect Trump ready for those tasks?

His first term, and his recent comments, seem to indicate that he may be a surrender-President to the dictators of the world.

Yup.

Who, or what, entities are contributing to the Trump transition team to get the results they desire?

Pres-elect Trump seems to be quite susceptible to bending towards sources of money.

So, yeah, this is a great question to ask...

Who or what are buying influence from the Trump transition team?

And, as a follow-up...

Why does this deviation with history seem to have been given a pass from the GOP? I mean the GOP had proffered itself as wanting to restore the past.

What, specifically, prompted the resignations?

Were the police criticized for bad behavior, and they didn't like that?

Details mare lacking.

@#3 ... How's he going to do anything when he's eating McDonald's in photo ops with Trump? ...

Asked from a different angle... what policies does nom-RFK Jr propose?

@#1 ... Horrible idea when Michelle O was saying almost the exact same thing. Now it is like a MAGA revelation. ...

Worthy of a repeat.

Horrible idea when Michelle O was saying almost the exact same thing. Now it is like a MAGA revelation.

@#58 ... That's the only way he can hire the criminals he requires. ...

Another view...

By hiring those folk with sexual allegations against them, Pres-elect Trump has a "one-up" of those he hopes to pass Senate approval.

Stated differently, work for him or face the consequences of their actions (and good luck finding a job, as nominee Hegseth seemed to admit with his payoff for silence).

How else to assure unfettered fealty to the MAGA cult?

@#10 ... That's why you and your assorted aliases are the DRMVP! ...

While I may appreciate that accolade (but I have only this one alias on this most august site, LampLighter, that's my alias[1]), what concerns me more is the reasoning behind the accolade.

Why do you say that just because I said i did not ever have a Twitter/X account?

thx.

----------------------

@#55

One viewpoint...

@#54 ... Somebody told Trump his cabinet was looking too white so he's trying to find the right position for P Diddy. ...

Frankly, my main concern at this point is the fact that the Trump transition team seems to be actively avopiding FBI background checks for the nominees.

That, imo, is a major red-flag.

More from the article...

...Durham is heard pleading with the dispatcher to "send someone ASAP" in audio recordings obtained this week by KVVU-TV in Las Vegas.

Koren identified the officer who shot Durham as Alexander Bookman, 26.

Bookman was one of the first officers to arrive and kicked in the front door. Koren said the officer found Durham in a hallway struggling over a knife with the intruder.

In a short clip of body camera video released by police, the officer yells for them to drop the knife, then fires one round. Durham and the intruder both fall to the floor, then the officer moves closer and fires five more rounds while standing over them, the video shows.

Durham, 43, died in his home. ...

@#3 ... refuse to delete their X accounts ...

For the record...

I have never had a Twitter account.

I have never had an X account.

... Schiff continued. "To me, the existential question is: if you're working hard in America, can you still earn a good living? And too many people doubt that that's possible." ...

I agree with that assessment.

Republicans have tilted the economy to transfer the wealth of the Country towards the already wealthy, to the detriment of those who have to work to put food on the table.

@#10 ... The only people who can't see it are blinded by their hate for liberals and progressives. ...

That aside.

One thing I wonder about this thread is why the shrimptacodan alias seems to be so intent upon deflecting it off-topic.

@#27 ... I don't have a response for you. ...

In #26, you were asked...

...
Now we're seeing dem leaders parading Trumps ideas as their own.
#21 | POSTED BY BULLJOHNSON

Name one.
...

And your #27 response seems to admit that it has nothing.

"I don't have a response for you."

Good to know.

@#14 ... well here's a first. New American journal is not included in "media bias / fact check"..... ...

I cited the OpEd, and described it as an OpEd (the first four letters of the summary at the top of this thread).

...OpEd: It should come as no surprise

And, if you read the New America Journal OpEd, you will see that it refers extensively to an OpEd in the NYTimes.

So, maybe the issue your alias has is that it seems to be unable to distinguish the difference between an openly stated OpEd and what you try to seek in a news article.

Or maybe there is a reading comprehension issue?

I dunno ....

@#11 ... taking any of you seriously is the last thing I"ll concern myself with. ...

Yet your alias still seems to show up here on this most august site and comment. ...

                              ;)

@#3

Your alias forgot to mention the medical supplements she hawks.

@#4 ... Yeah, werks great! Vlad even saves on using nukes. He has plenty for the rest of the world. ...

My view at this point is that Pres Putin is looking to Pres-elect Trump to take a wrecking ball to the US Federal government.

Pres-elect Trump's aim seems to be to cripple the US Government, replace hard-working people with his unqualified adulators.

To the point that Pres Putin can do more of what he wants to do, and the US will be too involved with internal Federal government problems to have any say in Pres Putin's aspirations.

@#6 ... when does the ventriloquist followed by the dancing elephant in a little skirt act come on ? ...

So, as seems to be the usual, your alias has nothing to contribute.

Thanks for that confirmation.
