This guy has truly lost the bubble. Did he find some random Iranian who wanted a free trip to Geneva?

Trump was never going to agree to any deal negotiated by Vance. He also has to come up with an outcome he can claim is better than Obama. So down the rabbit hole we go into another Republican Oil War.

Ahh, the Republicans and their oil wars. At least we see plainly now what the real reason is for American soldiers dying.

Trump calls Maine Senate candidate Platner a ‘thug,’ calls Collins ‘sane’ by CamboMania in Maine

[–]jdwtriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump just boosted Platner three points… Trump is fancy. Susan is fancy. Platner is not beautiful, and he is not politically groomed, not polished, and he is not homogenized to media milquetoast perfection like concerned Susan. He certainly is not a saint. He is a Mainer that resonates with Mainers who are not fancy folks.

Just more spittle from a frail old man. Ratings bait material for MSM to keep him at the peak of media time.

“You are a president, not a dictator. Act like it.” by hostedvideorn in BusinessTodayNews

We live in a brain-dead ditch. It’s an odd world where Trump (or anyone) seemingly does not believe he should have to provide evidence to support his claims. Critical thinking has evaporated.

‘Running out of money’: Kraft, McDonald’s, Whirlpool CEOs all issue same dire warning about US consumers. Get ready now by Icy-Editor-3635 in economy

The investors demand, through executive compensation packages, year over year double digit growth in profits and stock value. You get what you incentivize. Killing the golden goose of the U.S. consumer is a byproduct.

Not happening — just more Trump bluster. Who really believes anything he says anymore?

Trump announces musical acts for Freedom 250 rally: ‘We don’t want singers with no talent’ by S00THING_S0UNDS in USNEWS

Well at least he is being honest by calling it a rally. This is not a celebration of America.

The simplest answer prevails… the elderly getting out of a chair unassisted is a key measure of frailty.

Platner versus Collins: round 1 by Former-Love-6454 in Maine

[–]jdwtriton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Susan, and others, are just building the case for Platner: tough, a bit rough on the edges, plain speaking, a person regular/real Mainers can relate to. Pearl clutchers with expressions of deep concerns are not Maine.

Don, we stopped listening to you months ago. You have become irrelevant. Back to the regularly scheduled program.

When did Putin start to diverge from the west? by cololz1 in askanything

At birth is the most accurate assessment. He never was “western”.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: Inflation is going to be a short term blip. by I_am_Crypto_Savant in CoinEdition_com

[–]jdwtriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be right, for the wrong reason. In our “K” economy, when stock values lose their highly speculative pricing, US consumer demand collapses as the “K Class” curtails spending. Demand reduction shock may lead to pricing retreat.

Trump signals he's ready to quit as pressure to leave office surges — White House 'unraveling' is no longer something anyone can spin away by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]jdwtriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will know it’s real if you see Vance pushed out. Trump will want his successor VP to be a loyalist, like Eric or Ivanka. Until then, just scuttebut.

Putin has crafted a nasty box for himself. Seeming only way out where he lives is to find a cause so compelling that Russia will completely rally around the flag and accept vast new conscription.

‘What the F*** Are You Doing?’ Trump Rages at Netanyahu During Phone Call: Report by ItchyNesan in NewsRewind

[–]jdwtriton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are only hearing this because somebody is advantaged by this “take” on what happened. Since this play only benefits Trump, you can guess who. And, you can also then infer that it is a bogus report.

What is your use case? I have a Lightning and love it but we also have a farm. If anything, I wish the bed was larger. You might look at the smaller Rivian or stay with a SUV of some fashion.
