All for show...

[MoSooner69]

Made for prime-time television.. really? Not sure much more is needed to show this is all a publicity stunt to try to sway voters..... Are the riot hearings going to be in prime-time as well? (yes, I know there are no hearings)

At least Softball National Championship series will be on.......

Just the MSM Being the Jospeh Goebbels disciples they are and helping the greater good!!

Some people hear only what they want to hear...

I guarantee you their ratings were not close to The Apprentice and thats all it was.

If they had any evidence of any crime committed by Donald J. Trump they would have already turned it over to the DOJ for prosecution. They just want to draw out a prime time Soap Opera to try to keep the story alive and save a few votes. Come November when sane people are back in control of congress all this crap will go away

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Then the CPI number came out this morning and reminded all but the biggest DJT haters that it was a big mistake putting Biden's idiots in charge of things.

"Sane people..." That's an alltimer ! AsI aid, some people only hear what they want to hear.

Absolutely all for show... What I took away from the show last night, was watching those tough guys take on a female capitol police officer and knock her to the ground and knock her out. I remember when men would at least show women some respect, but apparently, that doesn't matter to the Proud Boys, and everyone defending their actions.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Did BLM or Antifa show respect for the dozens of female cops they murdered or injured in 2020? Regardless this detestable behavior is not an insurrection or a coup or worth another second of this overpriced charade.

It is so good that you are suddenly concerned with government spending after watching the fed gov pay millions to Trump’s resorts for 4 years. You are growing as a citizen.

Nobody forced the Secret Service to stay at Mar Lago,,,,,,,,its pretty nice place Heck they are paying over $30,000 a MONTH to rent a beachfront mansion next to Hunter Bidens place to give him protection. Be a lot cheaper to put him in the penitentiary where he belongs

 

[Expect2Win]

Why should I be? You're not Mr. Projector.

The Constitution’s anti-corruption Domestic Emoluments Clause is a fairly important clause in the constitution. It was so important it did not have to be added on. But I guess that part of the constitution doesn't matter.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

I'm sure it's difficult for Trumpers to watch. The TRUTH and the BIG LIE hurts!!!

Trump made the Secret Service give lifetime protection to all his kids.

What is wrong with you?

Well that's different.

Now if Biden got money as the 'big guy' heyyy.. put them in prison!!

The fact they don't see the obvious hypocrisy is no shock.

Biden has lived off the government teet his entire adult life. He is a bumbling fool and not my choice to be president. However, he at least had people surrounding him who know how our government works and he will listen to them. In a great country he would never have been president.

Trump has been a conman and gotten away with breaking the rules and laws his entire adult life. He has mastered tying up the court system to his benefit and using bankruptcy laws to skirt responsibilities so many times. In a great country, there is no way he would have been president. In a just country he would be imprisoned for the big lie, including 1/6. Millions of Americans hungry for a hero believed his lies and the damage is obvious.

Pretty good post except “However, he at least had people surrounding him who know how our government works and he will listen to them.” They are in the process of proving themselves.

How do they fix what's happening?

Seriously.

This is a world wide screw up.

First you have to admit that your godking had the biggest hand in driving it into the dirt.

That won't happen.

Yes they are. But you don’t judge a presidency by how the stock market or gas prices are doing in the short term, unless you are a narrow minded individual. Ask Tom Cotton why inflation is so bad.

You are mentioning Tom Cotton almost as much as you refer to Tweets. Will you vote for him if he runs for president?

I don’t have the solution nor do you but I do want to see more being attempted than this administration is doing.

It appears that Americans are somehow surviving this:


Inflation-ravaged households appear to still have a few bucks left over each week to reach for a 12-pack of Budweiser.

"Consumer demand in the U.S. has proven to be quite resilient," Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) CEO Michel Doukeris said at a fireside chat with Evercore ISI analysts on Wednesday. Doukeris's comments were shared by Evercore ISI in a new note to clients on Thursday.

The note detailed how Doukeris citied a strong Memorial Day weekend of sales, with lagers such as Busch, Busch Light, and Michelob Ultra performing notably well in addition to explaining that the company is seeing a normalization of demand trends as consumers return to work and on-premise channels such as bars and restaurants.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Every restaurant I go to in my area is packed. Including the three new ones that have opened since Biden took office. But let’s just stay all doom and gloom.

Yes , about a year and a half of growth with biggest problem being retaining employees but I think you will see less people eating out in the near future.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

One mistake by Biden was pushing green energy alternatives right away. While I favor investing in fossil fuel alternatives, it was poor timing on the heels of the clusterpluck covid caused to the economy. The oil industry has absolutely retaliated by raising prices because they will be losing a portion of the $5.7 Trillion they receive in US subsidies.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

We shall see. According to Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs their customers have higher balances in their bank accounts than they did a year ago. We will see how long that lasts.

I agree with your analysis...outside of Biden has not surrounded himself with even near competent people and that a Great country doesn't imprison people even the President for lying....Treason yes. Telling a Lie and going to prison means that Obama, GW, Biden, Clinton, Regan, Carter, Ford, LBJ, Kennedy and on down all would be imprisoned.

You can't help yourself from desiring the use of over reaching Govt power to incarcerate those you have a personal bias toward.

They all had a part he just signed the stimulus.....and Biden has continued to try to spend our way out of this. Can you not admit that.

Poor example and very slanted everyone knows that liquor sales are usually recession and economic down turn proof.

Drizly examines how recessionary economics impact alcohol purchasing

In June, the National Bureau of Economic Research declared that the U.S. is in a recession — and it started in February 2020. The beginning of the pandemic marked the end of an economic expansion that began back in June 2009 after the Great Recession, says the NBER, which monitors the U.S...

Times get bad and people can't travel and afford other entertainment outlets then booze are cheap fun for the masses. And people are more likely to be depressed as well then the Booze usually flows to mask! It's cheap libations...

That's why we're in this mess.

It's called an 'economic cycle' for a reason.

Someone just put the nitrous on the uptick so the downtick will be just what we expect.

Untrue. After the 1st 2 or 3, if not sooner, they would see what happens if you lie and it would end.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

There is zero evidence that Biden's people are competent in anything but agenda driven platitudes, and tons of evidence that they have literally no clue how to even reverse a little of the damage they've done in 18 months.

But if there's anything good that might come out of the last 2+ years, since we stupidly slammed the brakes on the world's largest economy and then spent infinite dollars so grifters could get paid Billions and you could get a $1200 check - it's that at least 60% of the country sees the Keynesian economics jig is up and promises of govt spending to fix anything will go nowhere for a long time.

The other 40% is shiftless and/or insane and they deserve to be left in the dust.

We are reeling from a multi trillion dollar tax cuts for gazillionaires. That is hardly “Keynesian economics”, bright Bart.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

and from corporations to shareholders and CEOs.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Generally, I hate corporations. Any publicly traded corp in not an “American company” as you like to think of them. You guys are so anti-China and don’t even realize how much they own “American companies”. They are nothing but greed-driven, short-term thinking organizations that don’t care if the planet burns to hell or people become addicted to their products and we all die as long as they increase share holder value this quarter.

They used their tax cuts for stock buy backs and CEO pay, not hiring new workers, pay raises or R&D. Pay attention.

 

[MGHS]

Their only reason for existing is to make profit for their shareholders and investors. They have zero obligation to hire new workers or increase their pay or do Research and development.

That is just a bunch of hippy dippy lefty BS ideology.

This is what you don't get is that Conservatives understand the dark under belly of the corporate world....We are just fine with it. Because a Poor Person never ever gave any body a Job or created wealth.

Sure in some fantasy LA LA land corporations would reinvest and do life altering R&D to help man kind but LOL that is not human nature for the Driven or Powerful. That is the delusional idea of the Beta crowd...
