"With Beyonc, Taylor Swift and Barbenheimer (Barbie and Oppenheimer movies), adding $8. 5 billion to the US economy, has definitely showed us, that women and women's movements have been quite the tour de force in Q3.

Perhaps as a cautionary tale, Republicans should stop trying to control, and / or ban women's rights to abortion and instead realized and focus on women's freedoms that are a boom to the US economy and overall welfare of the country.

(. kkkk!) It would seem, Beyonc has a point! Well, at least for Q3, 2023, anyway.

Beyonc, Taylor Swift, Barbenheimer To Add $8. 5 Billion to US Economy.

But there are those that are still saying (since Biden took office) that.

The $8. 5 billion Barbenheimer, Beyonc, and Taylor Swift bonanza is fading, . Giving way to a winter.

The gay young boy rapist apologist is also a feminist.

So not that anyone gives a shit here.

But did you cut it off already or are you still tucking it?

I think you're really lost literally and figuratively.

This is supposed to be a forum for hetero CIS males jajajajajajaaaaaaaa.

I'm no economist but how did they add a penny to the US economy?(werent most of those domestic sales).

If walmart sells $8. 5 billion worth the stuff, I'm pretty sure they didn't add $8. 5 b to the economy per se.

Bringing money from outside of the USA would be "adding it to the economy", selling tickets to "entertainment" doesn't sound like a earth shattering contribution to a $25 trillion economy.

But keep cheerleading you weird ass cuck.

Or did you just come here to troll?

"And this starts at the primary level. One of the great untold political stories is how Hiliary rigged the 2016 primaries against Bernie. She then tried to do the same thing in 2016 with Trump and lost.

There was this great book by John Grisham called the Brethren. It was a light and fun read. Here is the description:

None of them are gay, but they write convincingly as two young vulnerable gay men, developing friendships and then asking for financial help. In some cases, they also try blackmail.

However, Lake, who is closeted, is hooked by the unwitting Brethren in their scam.

Grisham is a popular author, and it was never mentioned or controversial that the CIA was busy picking presidents, and you wonder how many times they have.

It all started with Bubba in 1992 they handed him the election to get NAFTA the CCP in the WTO and the repeal of Glass Steagal.

Bubbas "third way" set the table for all this bullshit, it even cost Bubba a third term in 2008 when they rigged it against him for the muslim dood.

Remember Bubba got more delegates in the final count and they still threw it to muslim dood.

The deep state fully controls the DNC.

Most Dem voters could care less or even have a clue.

As long as someone gives them more food stamps and gives them a new Obama fone, they will vote straight DNC like ET (aka Whoopi Behar) suggests.

In addition to you being proven wrong in every way about the origins, time-lines and ultimate resposibility for NAFTA, CCP in the WTO and the repeal of Glass-Steagall, which was practically and provably irrelevant to Repub G. W. Bush's Great Repub Recession, Great Repub Financial Crisis and Great Repub Massive Jobs Destruction, now you are proveably wrong about another utterly debunked Repub Party fabrication; the so-called "Obamaphone', a program that also started under one of your beloved Repub so-called presidents and doesn't have anything to do with Obama anyway:

The Obama Phone?
Oct. 9, 2009

https://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/

Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?

A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it
......
The SafeLink program has actually been offering cell phones to low-income households in some states since 2008, not beginning "earlier this year," as the e-mail claims.

You're on a roll with getting everything wrong. We'll, that is nothing new, of course.

Got anymore? LOL.

Although the term "rigged" was used for many years in reference to other things, Trump was eager to claim many times that he was the first to use it with regard to the REPUB PRIMARIES being RIGGED against him!

OK, Twisty McPretzel, twist your way out of this one

I said Republican primaries are less rigged not that they were totally pure. The media has been rigging them for years when they do this front runner bullshit. Jeb Bush as front runner in 2016? Somehow the media had a comeback in 2020 when they pushed the corpse of Joe Biden to be president and with a little help from the AA communities, he "won".

Actually, Trump completely hoodwinked the media in 2016 to cover him. He got more free media coverage than anyone and instead of the media, which rigs elections, making him look foolish, Trump made the media look dumb. The media were all crying in their La Croix water when Trump got elected and said, "Why did we give this guy so much coverage?

Even now, you have many people running in the more fair Republican primaries and viable challengers like RFK JR (guess he too is not a Democrat like Bernie) bailing ship and running as independent. The Democratic primaries are so rigged the majority of Democratic voters don't want Biden as president but they have no choice but to accept him. Hel, you even have Bill Maher begging Biden not to run.

We are running out of ingredients Mr. Pretzel. Salt, nacho cheese are gone. All that is left is a side of mustard. Man, I get it. It is hard being a Democrat these days. Things were so much easier when Black Jesus was around.

"Oh, boo hoo. The poor widdle Oil and Gas Industry isn't happy about this:

Meanwhile, Biden's economic policies and stewardship has produced more jobs than the total number of net gained jobs due to the same from every Republican president combined going all the way back to Lincoln. The LOSS of millions upon millions of jobs just under Trump, GW Bush and Herbert Hoover along with the pathetically inferior jobs creation results for Eisenhower, Nixon / Ford, Reagan and GHW Bush made sure of it. Without DINO Joe Manchin struggling to blow a bunch of dumb Repub hillbillies in West Virginia in a vain attempt to save his political ass there, even more jobs would have been created under Biden by now.

Although the term "rigged" was used for many years in reference to other things, Trump was eager to claim many times that he was the first to use it with regard to the REPUB PRIMARIES being RIGGED against him!

OK, Twisty McPretzel, twist your way out of this one:

Trump's 'Rigged' Claim.
July 12, 2016

https://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/trumps-rigged-claim/

Trump is fond of the word rigged. The primary process, the economy, the justice system that did not charge Hillary Clinton with a crime: all rigged. Trump now says hes a political trendsetter, claiming Bernie Sanders and then everybody followed his lead and started using the word rigged too. Thats false.

Our review of public statements suggests Trump borrowed the word from Sanders, who regularly has used the term rigged to describe the government systems that institutionalize income inequality. That has been a Sanders theme since day one of his campaign long before Trump made the word a regular staple of his stump speeches.

In fact, populist politicians have been using the term rigged for decades to describe various government or political systems despite Trumps claim that a couple political pros told him that he was a trailblazer in using the word rigged.

Before we dig into the political uses of rigged, though, lets set the scene with Trumps odd boast, made during a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 5 after the FBI director announced that he would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton for her use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state.

Today is the best evidence ever that weve seen that our system is absolutely, totally rigged, Trump said. Its rigged.

Trump then went on to say that he was the first to use the term rigged in the Republican primaries, in reference to his displeasure with not being awarded delegates proportional to his vote tally in some states. Then all of a sudden, he said rigged became a hot term. People like Sanders started using it, Trump said, and now everyone talks about rigged.'

Trump in North Carolina, July 5: And I used that term initially when I was running in the Republican primaries and I was the first to use it. Then all of a sudden it became a hot term. Everybody was using the word, rigged, rigged, rigged. But if you remember, Id win Louisiana and Id find out Id be getting enough delegates, what happens? And places like Colorado which were so good to me, but all of a sudden we find out that they dont have the vote. And other things. OK. I used the word great. And frankly Ill be honest. If I didnt win in landslides I wouldnt be standing up here. Youd be watching some politician who would lose to Hillary Clinton. OK? Believe me. Believe me.

I started winning I learned about rigged very fast. I learned. But I used the term rigged. Then all of a sudden Bernie started using it and other people and now everyone talks about rigged but Im gonna keep using it because I was the one that brought it up and Im the one, and I asked a couple of political pros, Did you ever hear the word rigged, its a rigged everything? And they really it hasnt been a thing used, I guess it has to be somewhere along the line, but it hasnt.

Trump mentioned it again the next day during a speech in Cincinnati.

Trump in Cincinnati, July 6: The FBI director said Hillary failed to turn over several thousand work-related emails, including emails that were classified. Right? Rigged system folks. Remember I used to say it. Im the one that brought that word up. Now everybodys using it. Bernie Sanders is rightfully using it. Because honestly what they did with him was not good.

We realize there are bigger issues being discussed on the campaign trail. But when Trump claimed that Im the one that brought that word up and that now everybodys using it, we wondered if that could possibly be true.

Less than two months after announcing his presidential candidacy in June 2015, Trump got some written advice from his longtime adviser Roger Stone. As the Washington Post reported on Aug. 9, 2015, In a 13-page memo to Trump, Stone urged him to state that the system is rigged against the citizens and that he is the lone candidate who cannot be bought.'

But we couldnt find any evidence that Trump actually took that advice at least not by literally using the word rigged until the following April, when Trump began to criticize the Republican primary system as well as the Democratic primary system, on behalf of Sanders. Trump was concerned that delegate counts were not matching popular vote counts in some states.

At a rally in Albany, New York, on April 11, for example, Trump railed against the Republican primary process, calling it a rigged, disgusting dirty system. Later that month, at a rally in Indiana, Trump called the Republican primary process a rigged, crooked system thats designed so that the bosses can pick whoever they want.

In June, Trump described the political system more broadly as totally rigged in order to keep incumbent politicians in power.

Trump, June 7: After years of disappointment, there is one thing we all have learned we cant fix the rigged system by relying on very, and I mean this so, so strongly, on the very people who rigged it, and they rigged it, and do not ever think anything differently. We cant solve our problems by counting on the politicians who created our problems.

In a June 22 speech in New York City, Trump used the word seven times in just over a minute to describe not just the political system, but the whole economy.

Trump, June 22: Well will never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who have rigged it in the first place. The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and in the money. Thats why were asking Bernie Sanders voters to join our movement: so together we can fix the system for all Americans. So important. This includes fixing all of our many disastrous trade deals. Because its not just the political system thats rigged, its the whole economy. Its rigged by big donors who want to keep wages down. Its rigged by big businesses who want to leave our country, fire our workers, and sell their products back into the United States with absolutely no consequences for them. Its rigged by bureaucrats who are trapping kids in failing schools. Its rigged against you, the American people.

More recently, as we noted earlier, Trump has used the word rigged to describe the justice system that decided not to prosecute Clinton for her use of a private email system when she served as secretary of state.

So theres no question Trump has embraced rigged everything in his speeches and interviews. But is he responsible for introducing the term into the current political discourse? Hardly.

We did word searches on speeches by Trump catalogued by Project Vote Smart and did a Lexis Nexis search of all newspaper articles using the words Trump and rigged. We didnt find any evidence of Trump using the word rigged from the beginning of his campaign in June 2015 until April 2016, when it became a regular feature in his speeches.

Sanders, on the other hand, regularly used the term rigged to describe the U.S. economy even before Trump entered the race and before Stone advised Trump to use the word rigged to describe the system. In his announcement speech on May 26, 2015, Sanders talked about income inequality and said, This type of rigged economy is not what America is supposed to be about.

Project Vote Smart documents at least 40 instances of Sanders using the term rigged in speeches and interviews between the first day of his candidacy and Trumps initial use of the term in April 2016. From the start, Sanders campaign website included a page on Income and Wealth Inequality and concludes, This is what a rigged economic system looks like. It was one of the central themes of Sanders campaign.

Although Trump claimed to have introduced rigged to the Republican primary, he didnt. During a Republican primary debate in January, Carly Fiorina criticized the establishment, the media and pundits, saying, The game is rigged. That same month, John Kasich similarly claimed the system is rigged.

But lets go back a little further, before the 2016 campaign. In a major speech at the Democratic convention in 2012, Sen. Elizabeth Warren famously said, People feel like the system is rigged against them. And heres the painful part: Theyre right. The system is rigged.

Warrens public statements archived by Project Vote Smart since January 2012 show the Massachusetts senator has used the term frequently over the last five years.

But we can go back even further than that. Trump may take credit for introducing the term rigged to describe the primary process, but thats exactly the word Jerry Brown used in 1992 to describe that very system.

Jerry Brown, May 21, 1992: The way the Democratic Party has rigged its rules, it uses something it calls Super Tuesday to try to promote a Southern conservative candidate as a way to win votes. But what that does is leave California and Oregon and a lot of other states out of the process.

Other random examples of elected officials using the term rigged on the House or Senate floor over the years can be found here and here and here and here and here and here. We could go on. But the point is that politicians have long been using the term rigged to describe government and political systems for years and years.

Trump may have a newfound affection for the word. But he didnt introduce it into the political discourse. It was already there.

Maybe you missed all those early claims by Trump that the REPUB PRIMARIES were RIGGED against him because you were busy looking for tubs of sea salt to roll in after baking.

Meanwhile, you do know that Bernie Sanders is not a member of the Democratic Party, right? And that he only "became" one temporarily in order to freeload on whatever DNC money and support he could glom onto for a presidential nomination election run, right?

[CheckMate1]

Yep. They really know how to govern! Just asinine. This "Senator" is a clown just like the guy called him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDXp...ab_channel=CNN. What a disgrace to the institution.

As long as MAGA continues, and I think they will in the next two elections, the clowns will be front and center. Partly because they're (Republicans) too afraid of losing their seats (incumbents), or they're in a safe districts which allows them to continue with whatever the flavor of the day is with regards to "important issues". Meanwhile, they can't or don't want to govern and actually put forth legislations to help their constituents, and the nation as a whole.

Example: Putting up a bill to reduce a salary of current administration heads does nothing for her constituents, nor will it pass by the senate. It demonstrates pettiness reserved for 11 year olds.

Until spines are grown and party rejects the MAGA faction, I won't look at the party seriously, let alone consider it a viable governing option.

In the wake of 2023 Elections, where Americas loudly proclaim "NO, NO, NO", to QAnon/MAGA Repub extremist politics, we get the yet another bunch of Republican losers, brought to you, courtesy of the 3rd, 2024 Republican Presidential Primary Debate (Wednesday Nov 8th).

The "no policies" and "no governing", Repub party, apparently, just wants to war monger, bomb stuff and control women's bodily autonomy.

Let's RECAP, shall we:

• -Ron de Santis, "...he [Trump] should explain why he racked-up so much debt." {Hey EihTooms, it looks like Ron de Santis, agrees with you!}
  -Ron de Santis, "...he [Trump] should explain why didn't get Mexico to pay for the border wall."
  -Ron de Santis, "...he [Trump] should explain why he didn't drain the swamp?" {Yes but he did drain the swamp! It's just that it was "moderate" Repubs that were being "drained" (...kkkk!)}
  -Ron de Santis, "...he [Trump] said Repubs would get tried of "winning"...we saw last night, I'm sick of Repubs LOOSING" {I'm not, I'm rather enjoying it (...kkkk!)}

• -Nikki Haley, "...he [Trump] put us 8 trillion dollars in debt and our kids are never going to forgive us for that." {Hey EihTooms, and Nikki Haley too! (...kkkk!)}

• -Tim Scott, "...I invite Nikki Haley and Ron de Santis to join me in a nation wide 15-week abortion ban ..." What a dumb ass, did he not see, the 2023 Elections the previous night, where the Repubs LOSE BIG-TIME, on the very same 15-weeks abortion ban/limit in Virginia, in the "Youngkin Belly Flop"? Talk about tone-deaf!

• -Vivek Ramaswamy, "...we've become a Party of Losers" {(....kkkk!) couldn't have said it better myself!}
  -Vivek Ramaswamy, "Zelinski is a NAZI..." {REALLY dude...as he ignores the real Nazis and Neo-Nazi white supremacist terrorist groups, marching through Florida/America.}

• -Chris Christie, "He's shown himself to be completely self-centered, completely self-consumed," Christie said of Trump. "He doesn't give a damn about the American people." {Well better late than never to the party, Chris?}

I only caught the highlights, so feel free to interject.

Conclusion:
The Republican Presidential Candidates admit, Trump ran up the debt, to unrepresented levels. Exactly what EihTooms, has been telling the so called ISG Repub economists all along (...kkkk!)

From the highlight, I don't know if there's a real winner, but Yes, according to Vivek, who's absolutely right, the Republicans have become "...a Party of Losers" and looking more like clowns, everyday!

[Spidy]

More infighting, as Repubs clash with one another and come very close to fisticuffs! As the debt default looms large...it is indeed a Repub clown show!

Truth Social, the brain child of former President Donald Trump, is hemorrhaging cash.

The alternative social media platform has lost $73 million in the less than two years since it launched, according to a new filing from Digital World Acquisition Corporation, or DWAC, the special purpose acquisition company aiming to take Trump Media and Technology Group, or TMTG, public.

As ChristoFacist Mike Johnson will tell you with a pious smile, that's because "Trump's policies WORKED"!
