The Biden vs Trump Economy

Maga lamenting about Trump failures and the blaming Biden. They were so close to joining the real world.
So close.
Terrain map of Iran showing mountains to the west and north.
For those who think that invading Iran won't be costly in blood and treasure here's a terrain map. It's not like Iraq which is relatively flat. Iran is mountainous to the West and North and in the interior is a large very hot desert. It would be more like Afghanistan and we know what that was like.
Dialogue explaining that conservatives have a childish, simple minded love of America while Liberals have a more adult love.
Conservatives and Liberals love America differently.

Closing the straits of Hormuz can't stop these from getting through.
Commenter disputes DeSantis claim that God is "nonbinary" by quoting catechism.
This is interesting. Something I didn't know about Catholics.
Newhart show joke takeoff. "Good afternoon, my name is Markwayne, this is my brother Darrell, this is my other brother Darrell..."
Xi laughing at Putin and Trump getting into quagmires.
At least one guy is getting a laugh at this imperialistic stupidity.
I have a question. If Kristi Noem is now Shield of the Americas is Corey Lewandowski Condom of the Americas? And what's his failure rate?
Tolstoy book title changed from War and Peace to Limited Combat Operations and Peace.

The Board of Peace starts their first war.
Who knew they'd get bored of peace this soon?
Hillary fared so well in the hearings that she has many lamenting about how this brilliant, accomplished lady wasn't our President for two terms. To those on the left who didn't vote for her (or for Kamala for that matter) you deserve the two terms of the Pedopotus, but the rest of us don't.
Prof Hicks compares listening to the pro-tariff crowd to hiring a bad plumber.
This by my favorite IN Economist, @profhicks.bsky.social
An argument to pay the national debt out of the assets of the billionaires still leaving them plenty.
Who says no?
Kristi Noem
Osama Bin Laden got so incensed because we infidels put our troops in Saudi Arabia that the carnage of 9/11 resulted.
We have gone 25 years without a repeat incident.
Now, when our shortsighted President puts a hit on a religious leader, who is in charge of protecting us from another plot?
I grew up near Pittsburgh. My mother was born and raised in Braddock. I heard what Fetterman had done to help improve the town. I supported him financially early on. I also liked Lamb. The incident did bother me and I would have voted for Lamb if I lived in PA.
The movie Wag the Dog.
This movie was about a fake war to distract from a sex scandal. What we have is a real war to distract from Presidential pedophilia.
Photo of Musk with verbiage that says he broke Georgia campaign laws and can have his citizenship stripped and be deported.
Some (Maga) are lying that Newsom made a racist comment before a Black audience. He didn't and the audience was mixed. Evidence.

Seven health insurance companies make over 71 billion dollars in profits in 2024.
Someone please ask our conservatives here if this makes any sense? If we use health insurance corporations as an intermediary, why not demand non-profits? That's what we used to do with Blue Cross/Blue shield.
What would your city do differently if simply making neighborhoods nice places to live β with good schools, low crime and walkable streets β was a better economic development strategy than tax incentives and industrial policy?

Ann Coulter saying that the wealthy are playing the rest of us for suckers with a graph that shows unsustainable wealth disparity.
When the far right is even seeing the truth, maybe something positive can come from this destructive trend.
Protest songs are coming from unexpected directions. The GQP better pay attention. Good people don't stand for cruelty and a police state regardless of ideology.

Picture of Trump with Kim Jung Un hair on the front of the DOJ.
I just read that Pedopotus is having a banner of his picture hung on the "Department of Justice".
A Maga saying he defends billionaires and doesn't know why.
We have an obvious income inequality problem as well as exploding deficits caused by tax avoidance by the wealthy. We're 340 million strong against 1,000 billionaires, and this is largely the reason why nothing gets done about it.
Great article from @profhicks.bsky.social
The property tax is the best tax. Here's why.
