@sonhouse saidI don't know for sure, so what i THINK is quite irrelevant
It is clear ANYONE ELSE reading that post would understand what I said.
Sorry you have reading comprehension problems.
For instance, do you really think Musk giving Trump near 300 MILLION for his election was a GIFT?
Whew. Why dont you and everyone spend the next 5 hours guessing what it was? Even if you land on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then what? Signs in the street!! I have never been in a street myself.
@AverageJoe1 saidSo tell me how I was wrong when the recession hits and people start losing their jobs. BTW, the jobs market this month is already down quite a bit.
Huh? I certainly know a lot of people who think like you do, you need to settle down. Take this forum.....probably 85% of it think like you. RHP pays me a small honorarium to make Forum interesting, ....that is, to present the opposite sides. Guess what....That is not the real me.
Actually, I have always agreed with everything you have always said, even that, ...[text shortened]... to their shower stalls. I don't believe in touching though, you probably agree with me on that one.
@AverageJoe1 saidYou have serious misconceptions as to what a Trans actually is.

A guy transitioning to a girl means for one thing they don't think of themselves as guys and would never want to touch a girl because that is what men would want. They ARE women after the switch because they are fed female hormones so the feel inside just like a woman.
A trans would REALLY be screwed up if after the whack job turning it inside out to be a fake vagina and after all that and hormone therapy and he/she still wants to go after women, that would suck.
You project your ideas on to what trans people are inside thinking because there are trans women who used to be men and then do competitive sports against women, you equate that to their feelings about being sexual with women and that would be very unusual because they mostly want sex with men which is why they turn their genitals inside out to create a fake vagina in the first place.
@sonhouse saidI am looking for govt employees to leave that atmosphere of waste, and go into the private sector. If they do, the revenues earned from the taxes they pay wil go to pay off the debt that everyone is arguing about.
So tell me how I was wrong when the recession hits and people start losing their jobs. BTW, the jobs market this month is already down quite a bit.
Good idea? To fire unneeded govt employees.? No??? Why not???? we don't need them, Sonhouse.
JOb mkt goes up and down as a matter of course., YOu should FOX Biz. Best show is now at 4PM. Did you see today where OMB is reported to have misrepresented figures to make Trump look bad? We are too slow in cleaning the swamp.
WAHT?!??! You think there is no swamp in DC??
@sonhouse saidSHouse. I don't read tran posts. I predict that I will never know one.

TARIFFS are BAD. BOTTOM LINE.
It was proven in the tariff wars in 1930 but your Lord Trump obviously has not read history.
Your defense of Its not the same time does not fly. The roots of the problem with tariffs are the same back then as they are right now. Higher prices, less sales, less sales, less jobs less jobs are contagious.
But you won't believe that till it happens which will be WAY too late for you to say SORRY.
You should be contacting your congressmen and senators about just how bad a bill that POS abomination really is because there is ZERO reason to be cutting a TRILLION dollars off Medicaid and SNAP unless you have an overwriting need to give tax breaks to billionaires which is exactly what that bill will do and BTW they KNOW there will be a shortfall of revenue from IRS if that giant two trillion dollar tax bribe goes through, the KNOW that already so they included a huge increase in the national debt ceiling of over 2 trillion and more to come NEXT year so the national debt will go up to 36 trillion NOW and near FORTY Trillion the next bill coming down if they get their way.
ALL that can be avoided by one simple step. DON'T do a multi trillion dollar tax bribe, end of story, no need to cut Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP and SS.
Simple.
But OF COURSE the sinister Zombies have to pay back the billionaires who put them in office so here we come right into the next recession especially when Trumps tariffs really get serious.
Walmart already increased some of their prices, like bananas which are not grown here and cannot be grown in enough volume to satisfy US customers.
But Trump goes MAKE THEM HERE, not even CLOSE to understanding you CANNOT grow bananas here and a lot of other tropical crops but does Trump give a rats ass about ANY of that? NO he doesn't.
AND when a recession comes, he will NEVER take responsibility, just go SEE WHAT THE BIDEN YEARS HAVE LEFT US WITH?
When in fact it would be 100% TRUMPS doing.
@AverageJoe1 saidyou're a moron and i am under no obligation to make myself understood by you. If you're too dumb to understand what i am saying, go to fox news, they will make sure you stay dumb.
Could someone NOT write like SHouse. We GOT Sonhouse.
@sonhouse saidYou can say tariffs are bad, bottom line, many economists would not agree....Ahhh, but many WOULD agree with you. So it is hardly bottom line.
You are just spouting Trumpian propaganda.

@Zahlanzi saidYou will, I am sure, have noticed that Trump has stated that he "was not friendly with Epstein," which is not the issue.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xvq5KpXqfQY
"Just because Elon Musk says Trump is in them and just because there are dozens of photos and videos of Trump with Epstein and just because he said about Epstein that he is a "terrific guy" and just because Trump refuses to declassify the Epstein files doesn't mean he is in the Epstein files"
I mean, surely not mr "grab them by the pussy", "i can walk into the changing rooms of girls competing in my pageants" guy
@AverageJoe1 saidFunny thing about that near century ago. People still wear and buy clothes, still buy food, still have jobs, maybe not digging in a coal mine but employment nonetheless. Have to travel to work, whether it is on a horse, or car or train or bus, they ALL cost money so you lose your job you are no better off than any other unemployed from a hundred years ago.

That is what WILL happen if that abortion of a bill and the Tariff Wars proceed.
You just AUTOMATICALLY believe all the propaganda puked out by Trump and his handlers so you just RE puke it all out like they actually know what they are doing, his handlers, He has no Nobel Prize winners on his staff, only ass kissing IDIOTS who just go HOW HIGH MY LORD when Trump says JUMP.
@sonhouse saidSonhouse,,,,,you and Suzi and others do not like the idea of Billlionaires. A Cabinet of untold successes of which are measured in dollars. I am sorry they are rich, whateer that has to do with you, but.......successful leaders.

Analogy? IF a wonderful country club, in perfect shape, the grounds, the dining, everything.........exists, chances are the majority of members? Millionaires at the minimum. Initiation Fee around here....about $150,000.00.
So Bernie joins and says we need to have average-salaried men, middle class Americans, joining the club, and running the club. So reduce initiation fee, and average members, not big-success guys, run the Club.
The Club would go into bankruptcy in 5 years. It would be like Kamala running her own Cabinet of average DEI people.
So do you think it is better to have billionaires running the country, or guys from the hardware store, or local owner of the landscape company.?
Sonhouse??
@AverageJoe1 saidWhere did I ever say I was against billionaires? I am AGAINST billionaires using their wealth to BUY influence over the businesses they run, getting better loan percents and such and getting a juicy contract they first have to grease the wheels to get noticed.

That is EXACTLY what went on, what is going on RIGHT now, Musk LITERALLY buying the presidency for Trump and the billionaire club giving lavish vacations costing hundreds of thousands to SCOTUS members, RIGHT WING MEMBERS only apply of course so now the ultrarightwingnut SCOTUS like Kavanaugh and Alito pass a ruling giving Trump near total immunity from prosecution and more, immunity from even INVESTIGATION.
And you wonder why there are no CHARGES on Trump?
Simple, Right wing SCOTUS made that all possible.
And Trump trying to pay them back by crippling the ability of courts to enforce injunctions and contempt orders.
Trump NEVER has friends. ONLY ass kissers and he would throw his MOTHER under the bus if that got him out of trouble like he already did with Rudy,

It is a diff world, essentially a dff country ,, than 95 years ago. Really, man.
Yoy might as well say cave men travelled around sometime back,,,,on wheels.
Then the people in the middle ages, horses, they did gtheir thing, asnd so forth

@AverageJoe1 saidYou can't seem to comprehend, a dollar is still a dollar, it bought more back then but that doesn't change the fact the country ran on money. If a car cost 1000 dollars back then and now 30,000 that changes nothing.

If you made 200 bucks a month as a guess, you had money to buy that thousand dollar car on loan same as someone making 30 dollars an hour now and buying a 30 thousand dollar car.
They still had congressmen, SCOTUS, senators, presidents, lobbyists, corruption, political payback, judges, juries, appliances that went bad just like here and just the fact we have computers on our cell phones more powerful than most computers of 50 years ago doesn't change the fact that women want lipstick, men want tatoos, kids want toys.
Just because the average wage now is some 50K a year when back then it was whatever, 2000 a year, THEIR money bought the same stuff as today like pants, Ironing boards, Irons, and the like.
So if a recession hits people lose jobs and they lost a LOT back then, a DEPRESSION not just a recession.
And a big part of it was a failed experiment with tariffs with a POTUS who thought just like Trump today and found out the hard way tariffs RUIN economies and something like that will happen today when tariff wars kick in for real. Right now it is just playacting.
Another 6 months down the road it will be a totally different thing, Trump may do another TACO and stop the Tarrifs, unlikely but who knows, maybe one of his handlers will read off what happened in 1930 which is also unlikely because anyone criticizing Trump gets him PISSED and you know exactly what happens when he is PISSED.
The Smoot-Hawley act in 1930 made the depression even worse:
