Sorry, but NO, that's not remotely anything that I've observed in my lifetime

Her testimony in front of the Senate committee could have been labeled, equally, between incompetent or perjurious. Specific to the communication on Signal. That being said Kash has perjured himself too

You could count the honest politicians on either side of the aisle in DC on both hands. If they've been in office longer than 2 years they have got rich by lying, stealing, embezzling, and,/or selling their souls to PAC's. And you and me have paid for it one way or another.

Sure, that certainly has been a growing trend. Actually always in some form, but up to the last 20 years, there was always some compromise that ultimately benefited the middle class. Now it's all about petty cultural and identity differences that deter enacting positive legislation

Still far too early for me to pass judgment of how this Presidency is going, but the border crossing numbers, inflation report, prices of goods, move to reduce prescription medication costs, and the recent trends in the stock and crypto market are all very positive. Hope the momentum continues. I would really like to see more progress towards peace in the two major wars.

We gotta get the financial house in order. DOGE moving the money from D priorities to R priorties aint it. Staring at a 2T deficit this year. Just not sustainable.

Agree on the border.

Would like to see a little longer tail on lagging indicators like CPI. Right trend but CPI is a definite lagging indicator.

Agree on Rx costs but need it legislatively mandated instead of a fairly generic (pun intended) EO.

--from left wing Yahoo Finance news

--CPI includes prices after tarriffs are in place

If you think we’ve felt the effect of the tariffs already in April, you’ve lost your mind

This statement completely misses the point. Your side will continually and disingenuously say “this is so rare, why does it matter”

The answer is simple. Because it’s wrong and you refuse to admit it’s wrong. If the left would admit this were wrong, it would cease being an issue.

They wanted us fighting in Iraq, Syria, libya, etc. They want us fighting in Iran (which Trump thankfully said no to this time). How is that in any way aligned with our interests?

You don’t believe it impacts America if Iran joins their allies in Russia and North Korea by becoming a nuclear power?

The idea that we are disconnected from that is a joke

Yes, better to starve thousands of African children in order to give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

Such a weird and ignorant statement. You’re welcome to send as much of your own money to people of any country you desire. I’m not stoping you.

Why do you demand I be forced to send mine?

Amazing what happens when you do things you campaign on. Now Trump is not only doing what he said he was going to do campaigning, he is doing what the left has said they would do. Man of the people.

He's out-Bernieing Bernie Sanders and getting self labeled conservatives to cheer for it. It's actually quite a feat

Stick to your job flying a plane. That's freaking awesome in my book

FTR, that's about 3rd on my list. It's not about you and you only. Whatever makes your world seem brighter is your only concern. That's not "America First" by any definition. Has Trump made you "rich" again? You said volatility was "awesome" just a couple of days ago. Did he make you rich enough that you can pay off that big mortgage you talked about a month ago? Aren't you like 64-65?

Man do you keep notes? I couldn't care less about anything you said 10 minutes ago much less months ago.

You are coming along for the ride whether or not you want, and it's going to be glorious.

(And volatility IS awesome. Embrace it, stop condemning things you apparently don't understand)

Remember, Boeing, the same company that stranded two US astronauts in space for 8 months

There are two significant events that have trashed the once great company. First was the bankruptcies of the major airlines in the 90s when they stopped making the 757 and went all in on the 737 because Southwest was the only growing airline. The second was when Soetoro was president and they put bean counters in charge and mover the corporate HQ out of Seattle and to Chicago. The only thing that could make it great again would be to break it up.

Yeah the price controls (which aren't really enforceable) and threats of govt persecution are bold moves. Glad Trump is there to shrink the size and scope of govt as promised. Imagine how bad it could get if a big govt potus was in there instead

No I don't believe war with any of those countries is a good thing no matter how hard Israel pushes for it

Boeing has a $3.9 billion contract to replace the two Air Force One jets, but it already reported losses totaling $2.5 billion since it agreed to be responsible for what has become soaring cost overruns.

So we talking $6.4B and counting? This nation is broken.
