He's feeling the pressure to cut rates because the economy is crashing, but the PPI month over month from June to July was a whopping .9%. A nice extrapolated 10.8% annual inflation rate # for July. Welcome to stagflation hell.

Then the $800 exception for tariffs on small purchases is expiring in one week. Thats going to smash all that cheap Shein and Amazon stuff Americans live on. Powell cuts rates at the same time the tariffs hit gets the hardest yet and we're definitely seeing double digit inflation with a crashing economy over the next 12 months. No telling how long it could last. 

This could get absolutely dire for 90 percent of the country. 

This and the fact dipshit is closer to death with each passing day is what gives me hope.  The middle class that carries this carny’s water needs serious pain.  
Of course there’s gonna be plenty of collateral damage, but that too is needed.

Our military should hope they don't get in any conflicts anytime soon.  The replacement of the competency for loyalty might not result in desired outcomes.

Oh yeah, if I were an external adversary (state, state-sponsored, or otherwise), I'm thinking the moment to do something big might be arriving...

If he deploys military to Chicago, SF/OAK, NYC, and any other large blue city, I just don’t have a lot of faith that Americans will fight back. It’s getting clearer that we are headed towards something like Gilead as he has all of the project 2025 folks in position to do that. You’d think America would wake up with what is happening now, but nope.

And if he does die in the next 6-12 months, people are going to be so happy they’ll forget that the person coming in behind him will just keep doing what Fat Boy is doing and be better at it because of who controls him.

It ain’t 1968. This country doesn’t have the same fight anymore.

I was watching DC the day this all happened, assuming they - as a highly Democrat, minority city - would instantly be in the streets. They weren't. I'd like to think my equally blue city would act differently, but I no longer know. I love my city and state dearly - its natural beauty, its long-established tolerance towards all, its "Japan-dinavian" sense of social equality and sensibility, held dear for decades, its model - though still short of what it could be - of success and prosperity.

I have considered and taken many of the requisite steps towards overseas residency, starting the process years ago. This was not done for political reasons but out of a sense of adventure and experiencing things from a different perspective. Right now, I want to stay in my state and fight for all of us to have what we have here. But... when the day comes that the military becomes part of our police force and we just shrug, I'm off to Portugal, this time wondering if I'll ever get to return.

You have no idea how badly I feel for you, my Texan friends.

We're just following the 3rd Reich play book at this point, right down to filling the armed forces with sycophants

DC has protests every day and they're becoming more and more aggressive with law enforcement that doesn't belong there.

No way.  There’s no way anyone could damage us more than ourselves right now.  Stay out the way and laugh.

What is there to do?  Just move on and live your life.  We all will.  Any uprising just gives them the attention they want.  
Keep protecting migrants from ICE etc and go on about your business like they’re not there.

Yes.  Chicago laughs at dumbfuck.  If they really wanna clean shit up go to the west side and/or south side.  Got my popcorn ready.

Yeah, now is not the time to give us a common enemy to rally against. We're weakening American influence more effectively on our own than any terrorist could.

Can we still celebrate Calvin Schiraldi and Burt Hooton?  

From what I remember about Schiraldi, there is about a 500% chance he’s Dotardarian.

He taught at Westlake for a semester or two when I was there. I had him for conditioning one semester. It was funny how little he cared. He’d just stand on the track with a big dip in and let us do whatever we wanted.

I would bet a decent amount of money that he owns a huge truck and takes videos inside of it while wearing Oakleys.

That’s great and all but protests aren’t going to do anything. They are putting armed military in the streets because they want a fight.

it occurs to me 🤔...one of the ways you know it's bad, really really bad...a certain faction of posters has gotten reeaal quiet the last few weeks. granted there weren't that many that were willing to try and defend with a logical or thoughtful argument to begin with, but there were a handful that would try. or at least driveby taunt/troll with some regulatory. but even our resident 'libertarian' has gotten awful quiet in recent months.

even they know how bad it is, and that it's going to get worse. 😒

It's NFL politics. Just win, baby! From the Tigerdropping link above:

Persecuting everybody except straight (more than a few are lying about that) white males, the rising Trump dictatorship keeps providing victory over the ebil enemy: your fellow citizens. They'll never abandon their red flag while they believe that they're winning the fight against the queens and the coons and the reds and the jews.*

I couldn't agree more.

I think pretty clearly the rebranding effort was designed to distance them from old farts and country fucks.

Don't know if it would have worked, but the MAGA shitshow was something else.

Reuters and AP don't fuck around. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-crime-crackdown-deploys-troops-washingtons-safest-sites-2025-08-23/

By contrast with central Washington, residents of Ward 8 in the city's southeast - the area with the highest crime rate - said there was not a guardsman in sight. With the ward's murder rate dwarfing that of most other neighborhoods, many locals said they would welcome troops on their streets.
