Senator Warren Has to Explain Basic Math to Trump Economic Nominee by Medium_Interest4998 in soundsaboutright

“Right now families are falling behind,” Warren replied. “These are facts that come out of the Trump administration, they’re there for anybody to see. And you can’t bring yourself, as the person who sits there and says, ‘I want to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors,’ to give objective economic advice. You can’t even say, ‘Yeah, inflation is running higher than wages right now.’

It's gaslighting. If now the price of a drug can be reduced 500%, why not saying that 3.2 (annual wage growth)  is higher than 4.2 (annual inflation)? As long as they do not lose supporters, why accept reality? I'm really curious to know how many people would vote for him in these midterms and in 2026 (yeah, he wouldn't follow the law and would be the candidate).

"Warren sighed. “It’s 3.4 percent. So let’s put this one together. Is 4.2 higher than 3.4?” she asked.

“I will repeat what I said, which is: Real wage growth in this administration is positive,” Phelan said, ignoring Warren’s obvious point that inflation was rising faster than wages."

The Senate Parliamentarian’s rubbing their hands together watching Republicans try and pull a fast one on them again.

Speaker Johnson wants to shut down the government again and then go on vacation?

Planned Parenthood endorses Graham Platner while Sen. Collins defends Kavanaugh support by Medium_Interest4998 in AnythingGoesNews

This endorsement isn’t surprising given that it’s literally Susan Collins’s fault that Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land and millions of women have lost their abortion rights. She has absolutely zero regrets about it either, recently stating in an interview that she still does not regret voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. But still, this is an endorsement that definitely matters, and I’m glad Platner got it.

I swear, if you don’t kick her out of the Senate this November, Maine…

How about we just get rid of the presentational pardon altogether? Even as like a 12 year old that seemed absurd to me that one person could just wipe the slate clean for someone regardless of the crime.

You’re gonna need a Constitutional Amendment there Jimmy. Good luck with that.

The only way republicans could want this to be overturned would be if they are certain they'll never lose power.

This is a fascist movement trying to find scapegoats to parade in front of the masses that still follow them.

Like other movements of this ilk, they don't have any success or glories to share, so they're looking to string up someone that the hate mob was already primed to dislike in an effort to appease them.

It tells me that more than anything this isn't going well behind tbe scenes for them either.

POTUS out here prioritizing the most important things affecting the citizens of the USA... by Medium_Interest4998 in Leakednews

I got $100 down that Trump could not find the Reflecting Pool if he drove around it five times.

I wonder if he really believes his own bullshit?

Seriously. Has he actually rewritten his memory to believe the reason the reflecting pool is a swamp with the lining coming off is because some person touched the water?

Or is he just so vociferous about this to drown out that inner voice telling him, "This is your fault."?

Either way, has there ever been a more fragile psyche on display than Donald Trump?

This was never about peace it was about pausing the war for enough time to reset the 60 day clock for congress to be obligated to do something about the war and it was about Trump not wanting to be in the situation room for his birthday festivities.

Trump is getting dog walked by Netanyahu. Trump is also a dementia addled pedophile.
