What did your talking head say about Apples "investments"?

All I heard was they're building $500billion worth of data servers. This has nothing to do with tariffs, and doesn't create very many jobs at all.

Please send link confirming job gains from apples investment.

There are many examples of corporate layoffs happening now due to tariffs too. Do you want to talk about those?
They haven't built it yet. I know, I know, you and Marauder want it now. You have all wanted everything now, like children.

They're not building because of the tariffs.

yeah the pesky tarriff. I'm glad y'all are monitoring that....ha. What a relevation. Yeah, the small print that tarriffs have to be done in orderly fashion before they pull the trigger. Good thinking. They prob did think of that. Like you did. 🤔

How do these ranting lunatic haters think we will get one iota of influence from them, they, who advocate terrorists in our lands and all else. They contribute nothing. What do I mean??

Here is their little girl AOC's platform. Notice No Mention of improving our country,, she is the exact opposite of Maximus Trump.

https://www.ocasiocortez.com/issues

Free Medi ...[text shortened]... Leaving job creators to create jobs. Add some more if you like, all Maximum Trump ideas, of course.
Oh, and .....
The Green New Deal. This one is done like a turkey.. Proven a loser.
"Elevate Public Education" and "Women's Rights". All for it, I will vote AOC!! But wait.....She (and you) are not for women's rights, wherein you have undertaken to include their right to get hurt by men in women's sports. They will never win another competition. Do you faeries ever think about that, your weakening women's rights? My granny pointed that out to me, so I will not vote for AOC. Will you?
SUPPORT FOR LGBTAQ. They have he rights that I have, never have gotten that.

Aging with dignity??. Dignity is developed over a lifetime what has govt got to do with individual dignity??? Hellp me Rhonda. Jesus.

BYW, free medicare for all means that AOC and Bernie will CANCEL private supplemental insurance. It means you may get your broken arm fixed by someone that might not qquuuiiiiiittte be up to standards, ,,,,you know what I mean?

Endure the pain of high taxes for no gain? That's your point?

Yeeeesh. What a strategy.

Use this is as a not-example of adult leaders. And Schumer said yesterday this 100 days was hell. Really? Said it was the worst start of any president in modern times! Gas down, groceries down. Never sleeps. You can't have this scale of change without disruptions. He reined in inflation.
Fake news, district judges, and the congressional budget office, all offer ...[text shortened]... ike a gathering of dependent weenies.?

New baseball caps coming out......." Maximus Trump."
It's almost sublime how deluded this Trump worshipper is. In fact, Trump hasn't been able to shepherd one major bill.past a Republican Congress (Biden had already got his economic package passed at this point in his term), most of his Executive Orders are blocked by courts because they are illegal and/or unconstitutional, his tariffs are causing worldwide economic chaos even as he furiously backed backpedals from them and he has amassed a laughing stock of incompetent advisors.

On the plus side, his bullying did manage to keep Liberals in power in Canada at the cost of wrecking decades worth of goodwill between the countries.

This is an example of Y'all NOT knowing what is going on. The Bill which may be passed this week will reduce taxes. WHY do you people never know anything, you just harp off of each other's comments.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/icymi-president-trumps-largest-tax-cut-in-history/

An excerpt

In addition to finally exempting tips, overtime, and seniors’ Social Security from taxes, here’s what else that means:
Real wages will go up by as much as $3,300/year.
Take-home pay for median-income households will increase by as much as $5,000/year.
Short-run real GDP will be boosted by 3.3-3.8% and long-run real GDP by 2.6-3.2%.
4.1 million jobs will be saved.

An Analogy for the masses including you! 😉

I work out at gyms, I do not enjoy it. Let us then call it pain. WHY would I decide to endure pain?????????/. Yo guessed it! I will be the most fit man (ala the most fit country, if you follow) on the golf course, and, while enjoying a sour mash at end of the day. Fit man,....six packs! If I did not endure the pain, I would not have the joy (gain) of my belly of six packs.

Whew. You know, you are just confusing your own people. They will not get this either, y'all need to come to grips.

No pain, No gain. I made that up, you know.


I enjoy our chats. Too bad about Spruce.

Now where'd you put the pain?

I don’t get your question. Actually, when it really starts to be painful I do kinda let up and go get a nice glass of water and watch the news. So not real pain in the true sense of the word, but exertion, enough to know I will be rewarded with unexplainable satisfaction. It definitely improves my state of mind, kind of like a little pain in our country will improve our state of the union. I think I said that right.


@wildgrass said

Oh, if the Bill does NOT pass? He will have done all he can do....he (and you) need a few democrats to get it passed. He will have FAILED! You will get your wish. Y'all can celebrate through the night, but be sure to catch the next day's news.............................that your taxes will have no recourse but to INCREASE.
You see he, he wants the 2017 tax program to be made Permanent. Trump does. He wants, today, to pass the bill for the middle class to see a tax reduction. He wants to reduce taxes, not increase them.
You are poisoning the minds of conspiracy theorists...whose minds are already poisoned!
Geez

No pan no gain is what you wrote. But surely you see how the tax burden of tariffs doesn't gain us anything?

It's a recession for no reason. I see trump is already trying to blame Biden for the sinking GDP, even though it's been up consistently for 3 straight years until this quarter.

Trump tanked a good economy for no reason.

There you go again, as Reagan famously said.
Uhhh, were we talking about the meaning of no pain, no gain? You jump to tariffs. OK, whatever. But how about acknowledging to our audience , and to the debate judges that, yes, we probably cannot improve our economy (and related problems) without some pain. Don't ask me what the pain is, we all know that we are having to do uncomfortable but necessary things ( reduce unnecessary labor forces, etc,, stopping wasted money...), but rather, can you admit we have to do painful things to turn the corner and be successful.
Thanks.

PS: Walz said "I can talk code to white guys". " He used the phrase Permission Structure". Is he gay.? I love gay people, but he was selling masculinity and this is just not the way men talk. He said I can put men at ease!!!!!
What a creep. The way y'all let criminals loose, real men have a hard time holding our own..We cant even drive a car that we want. You gender deniers think we are all the same...dont you? Yeah this is off subject, so are tariffs on this issue. You started it.
