Thank you for laying it all out there. Trump believes his own bullshit. Talking about gas costing $1.99 per gal. He really is nuts. He needs to go out there and buy gas, groceries and health insurance and then come back with his bullshit. The people that voted for him should hang their heads in shame.

Trump doesn't do "gas, groceries and health insurance". He doesn't drive. He doesn't go to the grocery store. He knows nothing about caring for himself or anyone else. And he never has.

BULLSHIT…SELLS, in Trump world—especially amongst his “low educated voters”. He publicly fawns over them. Until MAGA fractures, and then he has to call them dumb…WTF?

The new B.S. is that Felon47 inherited the worst economy since RonnyRayGun's "...government is the problem" schtick and it's ALL due to Biden and THAT'S what the basket of deplorables believes and THAT's why all their bills are skyrocketing...and it will all get WAY better next year as long as you keep voting R.

3 days before the Presidential Election, the Wall Street Journal wrote a piece entitled:

"Whoever Wins The Election Will Inherit A Great Economy"

Trump is just lying when he says it's all Biden's fault. He inherited a great economy from Biden.

What's more, NYT is reaping what they have sewn, plastering their front page with as many as eight "Joe Biden Sucks" pre-election 'stories' in one day. In one day!

Now they're finding out.

Everything Trump Touches, Dies. #ETTD.

How you liking it now, NYT ho's? F You, now and tomorrow. The next day, too.

Yep: that's the way it is with the magas around me. If it's not due to Biden, it's due to other democrats like Obama. They traded their Jesus Christ for the felon. And they are so besotted, that their pain will never be the felon's fault. And our pain will be celebrated by average Americans who believe in the felon. :(

His charisma is actually the hatred he espouses; and that he gives his adorers permission to act out their hatred, imo. magas I know all hate a lot...They didn't use to express such hatred before 2015; but they've made up for it in the last 10 years. And hatred is much more contagious than love where I live. :(

Trump figures if he gives Ma and Pa Kettle a few bucks, all will be forgiven. With the MAGA base, it will probably work.

I’m really impressed with your work.

The country is going to shit in a hand basket. Even the rich will lose because they need the middle class and poor to buy their crap. Economics baby!!

Great article Michael! Bullshit Bravado is the perfect way to describe what the Trump/MAGA/GQP is all about, delivering everything to themselves and their rich oligarchs. Those oligarchs better do their homework, because just like Putin, Trump will bleed them dry too by requiring 50% of their annual income go to Trump, and anyone who doesn’t pay up every year will lose everything they have and go to jail for 50 years! So far only one Russian oligarch refused and he’s doing 50 years in a Siberian Gulag and his family lost everything! That’s why Putin wants to control the entire world, because he’s got billions in banks all over the world and most of it is in western banks. Onward….

They do where I live too. And they are not getting paid. The NextDoor site shows more people begging for help: a job - any job, Christmas food and presents for their kids, go fund me to help with rent, and animals are being dumped because folks can't afford them. I assume they are magas, since, in 2015, there were only 2 households that were democrats within 2500 households. But, they continue to blame Biden. smdh

Cheeto Will Preside Over The Currency Failure Of The Dollar

Alasdair Macleod, a British banker,broker, and writer at GoldMoney, has been a proponent of the Austrian school of economics and writes on his Substack channel(https://bit.ly/4oLi5Ar) about the failure and end of fiat currency system In his interview with an Aussie counterpart (https://bit.ly/4rEI8vz) his soundly based predictions is a good listen to warn of the impending currency failure of the dollar

Current inflationary numbers reflect on the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar now given in the price of gold 6% of what it was in 1971 when a Republican took us off the gold standard Put another way, the dollar buys only 6 cents of what the dollar could buy 54y ago When the US was on a gold standard post WWII inflation held steady at 1% and economies flourished

Now central bank/Fed policy is controlled by macroeconomists/Keynesians who see a metallic standard backing a currency as no longer part of the currency system even though a metallic standard is written in the Constitution

What will it look like when there’s a currency collapse? Bond yields will start rising above 5%, banks will foreclose due to margin debt, equity markets will collapse due to margin calls(estimated to be $1T), living standards will suffer horribly…food costs spiral, home loss or mortgages become worthless

Cheeto will preside over this economic catastrophe and much like his response to the COVID crisis, he and his Nazi regime will not know what to do and will devastate not only the US but the Western global economy Cheeto’s anti science approach to dealing with the virus will prove to be as blundering and bungling when it comes to this next crisis

Why would people from Norway or Sweden thibk about coming to America. With what has been going on they probably think it's a shithole country compared to the services they receive. They always seem to be in the top ten happy countries in that annual survey. I read today - can't recall the news sources - that Denmark lists the US as a negative factor and is not trustworthy. Looks like no Danes may be allowed entry into the US soon. And now the US wants to review five years of tourists social media accounts before allowing them to visit.
