Stocks rise on signs of consumer strength despite rising prices, Home Depot leads Dow higher

Looks like newly employed and re-employed Americans with better and higher paying jobs are buying a shitload of things despite the temporary higher prices.

Because now they can.

Thanks, Brandon!

the Big Lie

I see they are finally admitting the big lie was indeed a lie. The Washington Post issued a retraction.

To recap the real results in pictures as well as words...

Nice to see even your reference to let's go Brandon. You just helped verify the slogan.

[MarquisdeSade1]

Mainstream Media hope they can help enough Dems along with all those stable economic genius Repubs and Trumpsters forget all about those quite recent real world Trump-Repub economic decision results to get that Red Wave they so dearly desire.

Damn that Brandon for recovering us from the Great Trump-Repub Recession/Depression so well and creating better and higher paying USA jobs so historically fast that we have to pay more for chicken dinners for a while!

And, by god and our lord and savior Trump, it was cheaper to drive to the Trump-Repub breadlines back then!

[Elvis 2008]

Loaded questions loaded with straw men, a favorite fallacious angle of Elvis. He'd quickly be laughed off a debate stage in a formal setting, but it's enough to draw some attention in a hooker forum.

What is a straw man question? Asking if Republican votes should count? LOL. No, I really wanted to know, and the people who indicated they should not count are the 100% [Deleted by Admin]. The thing about Xpartan and you are much like it is rare to find a 4 leaf clover, you two break out of the 100% [Deleted by Admin]world and actually do not support a one party dictatorship, and I really did not know what to say. Republican votes should count? Carter was not a great president? So in honor of Ivory Soap, I am going to call you two the 99.4% [Deleted by Admin].

The problem with you is you assume there are two sides, and you are on the right one when you could not be more wrong. Matt Taibbi puts it better than I ever could:

Compared with how often you heard pundits rage about the "insurrection," how regularly did you hear that billionaire wealth has risen 70% or $2.1 trillion since the pandemic began? The economic news at the top hasn't just been good, it's been record-setting good, during a time of severe cultural crisis.

Twenty or thirty years ago, the Big Lie was usually a patriotic fairy tale designed to cast America in a glow of beneficence. Nurtured in think-tanks, stumped by politicians, and amplified by Hollywood producers and media talking heads, these whoppers were everywhere: America would have won in Vietnam if not for the media, poverty didn't exist (or at least, wasn't shown on television), only the Soviets cuddled with dictators or toppled legitimate governments, etc. The concept wasn't hard to understand: leaders were promoting unifying myths to keep the population satiated, dumb, and focused on their primary roles as workers and shoppers.

All sense of noblesse oblige is gone. The logic of our kleptocratic economy has gone beyond even the "Greed is Good" mantra of the fictional Gordon Gekko, who preached that pure self-interest would make America more efficient, better-run, less corrupt. Even on Wall Street, nobody believes that anymore. America is a sinking ship, and its CEO class is trying to salvage the wreck in advance, extracting every last dime before Battlefield Earth breaks out.

It's only in this context that these endless cycles of hyper-divisive propaganda make sense. It's time to start wondering if maybe it's not a coincidence that politicians and pundits alike are pushing us closer and closer to actual civil war at exactly the moment when corporate wealth extraction is reaching its highest-ever levels of efficiency. Keeping the volk at each other's throats instead of pitchforking the aristocrats is an old game, one that's now gone digital and works better than ever. That might be worth remembering after the coming verdict, and ahead of whatever other hyper-publicized panic comes down the pipeline next.

End of quote.

The difference between the Republican retard and Democratic douche is the retard does not show his stupidity publicly while you guys are open about it, fighting to be queen of the douches with your hyperpartisan nonsense. I am not trying to win an argument. I really just wish you all would shut up with all your hyperpartisan bullshit on a hooker board, but it is so inbred in you all that it is normal.

As an example, if you are a douche, this is the greatest speech ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zNr8Pf1QkY.

To the rest of us, it is crude, unimaginative, and worst of all completely inappropriate given the setting but then what I can say? I am no douche.

And of course, Youtube has not taken it down.

As far as the topic of the Jan 6 mostly peaceful protest at the capitol, here's a fine black gentleman who puts things into perspective. This guy is obviously a fine American. He should run for public office.

Regarding the big lie, that the election was stolen.

U.S. stocks gained on Tuesday after a strong October retail sales report and better-than-expected third-quarter results from Home Depot and Walmart signaled the U.S. consumer is still ramping up spending even in the face of rising prices.

If you invested in the Keystone pipeline, voting for Trump was stupid.

If you do not want to be vaxxed, voting for Trump was stupid.

If your business has been hurt by any of Biden's other executive orders (airlines, health care), voting for Trump was stupid.

If you have relatives in Afghanistan, voting for Trump was stupid.

Here is what you are trying to say: Voting for Trump hurts my paycheck, and anyone who messes with my paycheck is stupid.

You do not even care to understand the other's side POV.

Oh, what a tangled web he weaves.

You might not know that, but what you do has a definition in psychology. It's called a "red herring," look it up.

1. No, Elvis, I don't think Trump was a Russian spy. He's too unhinged and undisciplined and narcissistic and, to be frank, dumb to be a spy. I do believe he was being groomed to be simply an agent of influence, but then, all of a sudden, there was a real shot at the White House.

2. Impeached? No. He deserves to be criminally prosecuted.

3. Why yes! He absolutely did put Russia's interests before America's.

4. Why yes! Of course, you fellas were duped. You still are.

5. No, you aren't Russian spies from what I know. You were duped (see #4).

6 and 7. No, I don't want any votes to be thrown out. For better or worse, every vote should count in a democracy.

Anything else I can help you with?

See the attached photo. It is definitely 100% on the money.

[ScatManDoo]

1-6 is seen as treason and not what it was: a mild reaction to the shams that were Russiagate and Ukrainegate.

January 6th reminds me of the many police stings done years ago targeting crooks on the lam.

Sucker criminals were falling for targeting mailings offering "mystery prizes" to their last know address.

The suckers came running and got snatched up.

Good to get shit off the streets.

Dumb Shit.

Trust me, all Democrats understand the RethugliKKKan POV.

You are a bunch of whiney clowns who long for the days when: women couldn't vote; blacks had to pay a poll tax to vote; schools were segregated (at least in the South); there were separate washrooms, dining rooms, drinking fountains, etc. For blacks (at least in the South); LBGTQ folks were in the closet and scared for their lives; most immigrants were white and European; the overwhelming majority of the USA was white and Protestant; and you could lynch blacks without consequence. That's the USA that RethugliKKKans want. That's the USA that you're fighting for.

You could have saved a lot of keystrokes by simply typing "Don't waste your time asking me anything, I am a lemming". You may want to save that for future copy / paste if you plan to post again.
