The Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean markets are getting slaughtered on Monday morning. It's only a matter of hours before ours does as well. It's all the fault of Americans and the stupid fucks they elected, and the world won't forget this.

The Trump Economy
The billionaires bought off politicians, especially Republicans, to offload their financial responsibility to the country to deficit spending. Combine that with a ridiculously wasteful and bloated DOD, that spends more than the #2 through #10 countries in the world COMBINED, and you have what we have. If at any time those two things got fixed would have rebounded a ton. But corruption and stupidity will always do you in eventually.

The Trump Economy
The only Democrats I would put blame on are the Biden cabinet people who kept telling us he was fine and ready to go when he was falling asleep during prep for the first debate and obviously had declined heavily due to age. They should have pressed heavily to pull the plug on a re-election campaign well before the primaries. They didn't, and it cost us big time. That said, they get 1 percent of the blame. The other 99 percent goes to the fucking racist morons who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all. This should have been the easiest election ever, even far easier than 2016. Everyone saw exactly what Trump was during 2017 to 2020, 1/6, and the ensuing trials. The stupidity to choose that is far beyond anything ever seen before.

The Trump Economy
You think GLBA happened in a vacuum? https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-04-25-fi-956-story.html Bush opened Pandora's box in a desperate and futile attempt to ease financial burdens in his re-election bid in the early 90s with banking deregulation that led down a dangerous path. That path led to GLBA and then the retard Bush's admin just blatantly ignored all the warning signs of the looming crisis. Just as Republicans are ignoring the signs of the coming crisis now. If you're going to attack people at least take your head out of your ass long enough to learn about the situation.

The Trump Economy
Even the Chinese learned that the Soviet system was fucked up and they adjusted to a hybrid system that is open for business but oppressive on population. These morons are grasping at straws. The US decadence of the last 50 years is coming home to roost and their answer is to expedite the decline. The country is going to collapse economically as payment for all those decades of billionaires offloading their fair share to deficit spending. After all of this the foreign investment in US deficit spending, with Japan and China at the top, is going to decline drastically. The Fed will have no way to pay for deficit spending as it has been. What comes next is Argentina style money printing and hyper inflation. All this in a country that has over 330 million people with at least 80 to 100 million that blame Latinos and other minorities for their problems, about 65 million Latinos, about 50 million blacks, and 400 million guns.

And the way to do that is indiscriminately tariff bombing the world? Nothing you said has any relation to the insanity of this situation. You want to disassociate from China? Slowly start making deals with other nations with the capabilities to produce goods to diversity the baskets. Whatever can be produced in the US would have to be slowly brought back over time with necessary Investment in infrastructure financed by whoever feels that risk is worth it. Declaring economic war on the world is not the answer. To any question.

There isn't going to be any significant manufacturing brought back. No companies are going to outlay the expense to scale up domestic manufacturing for shit we haven't made for decades. The only way it happens is if the federal government pays for the infrastructure build to do it, then you have a situation where the government is paying and controlling the means of production. Hello Communism! What a crock of shit this whole thing is. All that's going to happen is we all get screwed on prices until Trump either relents or gets impeached/assassinated. Then the race will begin to put the bb's back into a box that was already destroyed. This is the beginning of the end of the US being the center of the global economy.

Explain exactly how we are going to "undo it" and how using AI chat bots to develop an across the board tariffs policy based on trade deficits will get us to this mythical place you seem to believe we should go.

Trip to Waikiki
Got the shrimp pictures mixed up. That one above was Giovanni's. Still very good, but the spicy from Jenny's just hit different. The coconut shrimp at Jenny's was good too.

Trip to Waikiki
Ray's is great if you can get a table. They get crowded. If you want the cheapest really good food in Waikiki it's a no brainer. Steak Shack. Right on the beach, a little hut but similar to a food truck with some tables around it. When I was there last May it was about $13 for a plate. Damn if I don't still crave that steak every once in a while. If you can afford the rental car then get out of Waikiki. Get to North Shore and eat Jenny's Shrimp Truck. Their spicy shrimp scampi was one of the best things we've eaten. Also, for some nearly free entertainment take the family to the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens. Some of the best scenery in a forest on the edge of the mountains. We camped there 3 nights and spent days at the beach and nights drinking and cooking out in some of the most beautiful scenery you can find anywhere. Just be prepared for the rain because it rains off and on every single day on that east side of the island. To me you can do Hawaii 2 ways. Expensive vacation resort or live like locals camping on gorgeous land and eating stuff you make from the supermarket. The wife and I want to go back and do an inexpensive 5 day trip camping only and really get back to nature. We enjoyed that far more than the days we've spent at the resorts. Steak Shack: Jenny's: Our tent site: Small lake at base of the mountain about a 10 min hike from our tent:

Robert Griffin III as a college football analyst is...FIRED BY ESPN
I can't think of a single Reba song I've ever heard. I remember I happened upon an episode of her TV show, and don't remember much about it. She seemed like a female version of Tim Allen as far as the sitcom style. Other than that I have no idea what she's done. But glad to know she probably hates sooner

Trev Alberts is still the biggest dumbfuck around.
In the portal and NIL world conducting business like that will be the death of the program. Duke got lucky with Scheyer, but the odds UNC gets that lucky too are slim. They have to go best coach they can land or else they're screwed, especially now that the SEC is putting a lot of that excess football money into basketball.

If Hubert Davis has anywhere near the season in 25/26 he had this season then Carolina would be insane not to fire him and do what to takes to hire Beard.

The American voting public was stupid enough to elect a guy who cratered the economy in his first term then attempted an insurrection. They don't even have to try this hard. They could have put the equation as X=y+z and 100 percent of their voters would have no idea it's bullshit.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I think I see why they haven't won a men's title anyone cares about since the days of Hitler invading Poland. Any coach with the considerable intelligence and ability necessary to win in that horrible cult environment is too smart to ever accept a job in that horrible cult environment.

17 year old stabbed to death by another 17 year old at Frisco track meet
Why would the nation be outraged for this when they haven't been outraged at dozens of kids getting shot in schools in many incidents going back decades? When the people "end wokeness" and half the voting country supported in 2024 are the exact people blocking legislation to curb or prevent these incidents? This is what the nation wants to happen.
