Unfortunately and very sadly, but not unpredictably, a modern-day "red scare" is back in federal government. And what is the definition of this? "A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise, supposed or real, of left-wing ideologies in a society". And here's the proof: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...ces-rcna188871. Joe McCarthy would be some kind of proud!

Are you saying you are weening off of Amazon LOL or selling your Tesla, don't you know all these scumbag parasites do what's best for them, all the time. How old are you? Aren't you a little too old to be so naive?

You might be right. I just don't remember people selling out so quickly before my own eyes. Trump to TikTok. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos and the rest of them to Trump. Maybe because I am old, this lightning speed of all-consuming corruption is a bit overwhelming to my old and slow self.

But I'm glad to see that you and your brothers are OK with this intense upcoming oligarchization of our society. I don't get for the life of me what's in it for you, but at least you don't expect the man you worship to do anything for anyone but himself.

[EihTooms]

LOL. Remember all those "Trump" buildings that Trump never designed, never built, never owned, never had anything to do with other than selling his name to put on a sign to simply rebrand something someone else did all the work to create?

And remember Trump doing the same thing with the terrific economic trajectories he inherited from Obama-Biden, falsely claiming his Knowing Nothing and Doing Nothing in that first year of his so-called presidency and coasting along with what he inherited while a year or so later his huge tax cuts for corporations helped them to buy back their own stocks and nothing else at a cost of $Trillions to the deficit had something to do with those first ok pre-Trump's Pandemic years? Yeah, that was simply Trump rebranding the Obama-Biden economy he inherited as "The Greatest Econony In History that I produced".

I mean, those 3 pre Trump's Pandemic years were ok except for when his failed China Trade War and Trump Tariffs drove our manufacturing and agriculture industries into Recessions so deep he had to issue emergency welfare checks just to keep them afloat, adding more to the deficit, and we had the first of Trump's two first-term Bear Market Declines in the broad USA Stock Market in 2018, of course. So, hardly "the Greatest" of any time in recent or long term history.

And remember how Trump simply rebranded the 10 years prior Obama Admin creation of the Rapid Vaccine Developement Program as the silly renamed "Operation Warp Speed" in order to take credit for getting the critical, millions of life-saving vaccines for his own Trump's Pandemic virus out as rapidly as possible even though he has pretty much disavowed any connection to those vaccines since his MAGAloons always boo him for mentioning it.

And be prepared for Trump to again and again and again take unearned and undeserved credit for every "Envy of the World" economic achievement, national security and foreign policy success created solely by the blood and sweat of Biden-Harris and the Dems going forward. That which he can't touch, turn to shit and kill as is his lifelong pattern, that is.

Yeah, that is Trump simply Knowing Nothing, Doing Nothing but rebranding the work, effort and creation of someone else.

So it should come as no surprise that even those big DOGE plans Trump and Der Fuhrer, I mean, President Musk have touted is, guess what, simply a rebranding of the efficiency monitoring and reviewing program created by the Obama Administration:

DOGE has officially arrived, but it looks pretty different from what was promised.

https://www.businessinsider.com/doge...e-trump-2025-1

The executive order also didn't create a new department, but rather renamed another. DOGE will replace the Obama-era US Digital Service (USDS), a unit that primarily works on improving government websites and tech. The USDS's unit had grown to more than 200 people, while Musk's new team is reported to consist of 20 staff.

I'm guessing the 180 American Working Men and Women he laid off did not cost the American taxpayers nearly as much as, say, subsidizing electric vehicle manufacturing.

Wow Marquise, you don't disappoint. Again!

I mean your answer brilliantly displays the twisted and deeply corrupt nature of Trump supporters, but admitting that Trump had been bought by a Chinese entrepreneur takes guts. Elvis and most other Trumpists would've wiggled and returned a verse after verse of nonsensical demagogic BS (which is why I never asked him). You, on the other hand -- my goodness!

Again, I wish the rest of Trumpists hadn't been so hypocritical. You believe what you believe, right? Why lie about it?

Look, I don't hate the guy (we're talking the TikTok guy, right? I totally understand why he did it. In fact I understand him much better than our own traitors Bezos and Zuckerberg. It's just, I don't know how to put it, but I mean, being an idiot, I don't believe that US Presidential Candidates should be so willing and allowed to get bought by foreign bidders. I even remember that receiving any kind of financial contributions is supposed to be illegal, or am I wrong about that?

Allow me to answer your question with the same clarity you answered mine. I didn't have a subscription to the aforementioned publications, but if I had I would've cancelled them immediately. Like you said, I'm one of those idiots who believes that sold-out media, along with their owners don't deserve my support. Now, my next project is weening myself off Amazon, which proves to be very difficult. On the other hand, I haven't used Facebook and Twitter in a long time -- that was easy.

Sold out media? 99% of the media is corporate owned.

That's why I like Breitbart the owner is very far right.

Yet he supports Centrist MAGA policies.

Trump must really, really be suffering from Crowd Size Anxiety these days:

Donald Trump's Inauguration TV Ratings Compared to Joe Biden's

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...-biden-2018696

On Monday, 24.6 million viewers tuned in to watch Donald Trump being sworn into office, estimates from the data analytics company Nielsen showed, which was lower than the viewership Joe Biden's inauguration received four years earlier..

Maybe Liar ChristoFacist Mike can fabricate another in his series of pathetic lies about everything to lie again about Joe Biden and create a distraction from his beloved Worst President of All Time's Worst Inauguration of All Time.

And we could be just minutes away from Trump finally biting the head off a live bat on television in order to lift his abysmal TV Ratings while also distracting from the reality that he hasn't done, passed or signed anything that would truly be good instead of bad for the American Working Men and Women or any of the numbskulls he conned into voting for him.

America's Hitler, releases his MAGA dogs aka. "MAGA Brownshirts", to do his biding and reek havoc on NEVER TRUMPERS and working American's who dare NOT believe, Trump will lower the price of bacon and eggs.

Yes, we now have an elected president running things not an unelected junta. Actually, the way the Democratic Junta was running things was more like how Hitler came to power.

So naturally, it goes without saying...for all you "MAGA Brownshirts", before doing unspeakable police bashing or flagpole maiming, remember don't leave home without your "get outta jail free" MAGA cap and t-shirt.

Ah, yes, we have gone from MAGA killing people to gouging eyes out and shattering backs and cracking ribs to "flagpole maiming". Thing about flagpole maiming is that suggests that people grabbed whatever was available to them as I do not know anyone with whom a flagpole is a weapon of choice. So seeing as how you have now so brilliantly shown that this was a spur of the moment riot rather than an insurrection, Spidy, I can confidently say this "insurrection conspiracy" was a load of bullshit.

So among the people jailed was the leader of the proud boys who was not even at the J6 riot but your beloved Democratic douche prosecutors put him in jail for 22 years for seditious conspiracy, a law designed to prosecute Southern rebels from the time of the civil war. And this is the reason the Biden junta was handing out pardons like crazy. Because if Trump filed their lead and used bullshit laws like seditious conspiracy, he could prosecute and convict anyone whether they are guilty or not.

And by all means, let's continue the incessant lying about Trump. He said he was not going to pardon violent offenders. Once again, Spidy, the truth and you are at odds.

What is amazing is you do not give a fuck that we did not have a duly elected president running things the last four years. Gee, I wonder why that is. Is that because all you really care about is your checks keep coming in?

Day 2:

Has the price of eggs and gas gone down?

I never got the memo from Trump demanding that I reduce the cost of rent for my tenants. So I won't.

Has he spoken the Magic Trump Words that put an end to wars in "24 hours" or "48 hours" but that he apparently forgot to utter for the entire 1,460 full days and nights of his previous term for the USA combat War in Afghanistan?

What's the delay all about? Is he waiting "two weeks" to get that first Infrastructure Week done with his Repub Majority House and Senate first?

No problem. At least we know his constant blather about imposing higher Trump Tariff Taxes on the American Consumer and chase out all the low-cost labor for essential services and product delivery has jacked up the cost of shipments, products and housing already. And even before Day One!

Mortgage rates aren't likely to fall any time soon - here's why.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/mort...ndroidappshare

Rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose above 7% in the week ended Jan. 16, according to Freddie Mac data.

Mortgage rates were below 3% as recently as late 2021.

They are unlikely to fall below 6% until 2026, economists said. Thats partly due to investor worries tied to President Donald Trumps policy agenda, they said.
..........
Why have mortgage rates increased?

The first thing to know: Mortgage rates are tied more closely to the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds than to the Feds benchmark interest rate, said Baker, the founder of Claris Financial Advisors.

Those Treasury yields were about 4.6% as of Tuesday, up from about 3.6% in September.

Investors who buy and sell Treasury bonds influence those yields. They appear to have risen in recent months as investors have gotten worried about the inflationary impact of President Donald Trumps proposed policies, experts said.

I'm not an International Trade Attorney or National Security Expert but.

Its my understanding that the owner supported Trumps 2024 campaign, does that deserve a 90 day extension, maybe to find a buyer?, I think that's only fair.

But I'm guessing you hate the guy for doing so and can't wait to see it banned, if for no other reason, for him doing that.

If it was a very urgent situation I doubt it would get an extension.

Are you like those idiots that cancelled their LATimes or WAPO subscriptions LMFAO.

MDS, I do not know if you have seen the Mike Johnson interview but Speaker of the House Johnson tried to talk to Biden and was being put off. He ran into the unelected junta who was running the country and Biden. Well, eventually, Biden told everyone to leave, and he talked to Johnson, and Johnson has now admitted that Biden could not remember a damned thing including an executive order forbidding the export of LNG, and Johnson's state of Louisiana was suffering due to that ban.

And the reason Biden was not prosecuted on having top secret documents is that he was so mentally incompetent prosecutors felt like Biden could not be convicted. Well, if you are Biden's cabinet, and he is not competent to stand trial, why not invoke the 25th Amendment and take him out of office? Is that because this junta was really running things?

Matt Taibbi wrote an article about this and pointed out the unelected treasonous dickheads who were running the country. Looney Tooms is so demented that he is praising Biden as being a good man and all this when Biden was not mentally there for years.

Like with everything else with the dumb hypocritical Dems, Trump considers doing something like pardoning himself before leaving office and with good reason, and these dumb Dems actually do it. If J6 was an attempted coup, keeping Biden in office and pushing Kamala to be the nominee was the real coup.

I don't want this endless charade of prosecuting political opponents to continue, so I think it is time to leave the Bidens alone but we need to know why this junta gave General Miley, Fauci, and the J6 commissions were given pardons and if Biden and not his junta actually signed them. So I think it is worth investigating / prosecuting THESE parties and asking did you authorize these pardons and if so, why?

So that is what being a dumb Dem is today. We need to make sure that the Biden administration, the junta, is the target of our rage and not Biden and his family. We have already seen the dumb Dems have such contempt for the voting process, they do not care about who their nominee is. They do not care if the person elected is running the country. All they care about is that their checks keep rolling in.

Are the Democrats in Even More Trouble Than They Think?

When Ronald Reagan was inaugurated on Jan. 20,1981, no one knew it was the start of 12 years of Republican rule — that Democrats would prove so out of step with the country, so mistrusted by voters, so unable to fix their left-wing brand that they would fail to win a national election for a dozen years.

The nation hasn't seen a 12-year drought like that since then. But as Donald Trump reached for some Reagan ideas on Monday — "the golden age of America" astride Reagan's "era of national renewal," their shared attacks on government, their inaugurations amid breakthroughs in hostage crises — I found myself thinking about whether the Democratic Party may be at the start of its own era, a wilderness era, when it comes to the presidency and perhaps even government.

This is not a prediction, and on Day 1 of Trump 2. 0, I'm watching for Democrats who speak effectively and persuasively to the national mood. The scope of Trump's victories doesn't compare with Reagan's landslide wins, of course, but that might cause some Democrats to underestimate the problems they face. Right now, the Democrats are leaderless, and there isn't a lot of evidence pointing to how that messenger will come forth.

Some smart Democrats I talk to are counting on the party moving to the political center over the next four years and nominating someone who can speak to the broad middle about the economy, immigration, artificial intelligence, climate and more. Democracies are good at self-corrections; politicians can learn from mistakes and feedback and pivot accordingly. There's a reason America has gone from Barack Obama to Trump to Joe Biden to Trump in the Oval Office in just over eight years.

But there was an expectation in the early 1980's, too, that Democrats would self-correct after Jimmy Carter's presidency. The presidential primary process — which brings out party loyalists — yielded a familiar figure, Walter Mondale, rather than a bold choice. The self-correction took time.

What proved most important in that era was how durably popular Reaganism would be on the right, to the political center and among some Democrats. I'm in no way betting on Trump, JD Vance or their allies being that popular. But as I wrote in November about the dozens of Times Opinion focus groups we've conducted, Democrats are in for a rude awakening on illegal immigration, and they have lost the trust of many Americans because of tone-deafness on the economy; a lack of solutions and progress on the cost of living, affordable housing and public safety; and the perception that party leaders and Biden covered up his decline and pulled a fast one on the American people by slotting in Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. A self-correction that builds trust is a serious undertaking.

In the end, Americans may not want one political party in the White House for more than one or two terms at a time. And the 2024 election was close. But all of this is to say that the questions I close out the day with are: How long will the Democrats' wilderness years last? And who will lead them out of it? Maybe Fetterman or maybe not he might be a Jew?
