American Politics

My, my but it seems the Mainstream Media has been oh so quiet about the Average Price of a Gallon of Regular Gasoline in the USA since well before the election and have simply allowed Trump to make up whatever bullshit he wanted about it all this time with no pushback from the typically pro Repub MSM.

Similar to their silence while Trump is out there telling everyone the price of eggs is "down 400% an absolute mathematical impossibility, of course.

So, to recap:

The Average Price of a Gallon of Regular Gasoline in the USA today, under Trump, is higher than it was yesterday.

Those prices are higher than it was last week.

Those prices are higher than it was a month ago.

Those prices are higher than it was under Biden on his last day in office and Trump's first day in office.

They are higher than it was on election day under Biden and have BEEN higher under Trump than it was under Biden going all the way back 6 months, a period of time when some MAGAs seem delirious in the blithering notion that Trump has somehow and in some way kept his promise to lower gas prices or any other promise he made with a tangible result.

And how many deaths did MAGA folks cause in the J6 uprising? Uh, that would be none.

Then we had two Democratic try to shoot Trump.

And then we had this Matt Taibbi piece: The Los Angeles riots are reviving the revolting homages to Marx and socialist revolution that helped elect Donald Trump in the first place.

The "Mostly Peaceful" Revolution.

The LOS Angeles riots are reviving the revolting homages to Marx and socialist revolution that helped elect Donald Trump in the first place.

Matt Taibbi.

Jun 11.

Almost exactly five years ago, on June 6th, 2020, protests erupted in Britain after the killing of George Floyd. Thousands hit the streets in London, Manchester, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, and Bristol, in demonstrations that included toppling statues, blocking the M6 freeway, and in London, hurling flares and rolling bicycles at police. The BBC headline described "largely peaceful" protests:

"Mostly peaceful protest" didn't enter the cultural lexicon as an iconic media absurdity until months later, when poor CNN reporter Omar Jimenez did a standup in front of a burning building above the immortal chyron, "FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING. "

Most mainstream observers defended the oxymoronic approach, hailing a September 2020 study that mathematically characterized the mostly-peacefulness of that summer's protests (93% while arguing the public should be focused on greater violence-s of racism, colonialism, police brutality, etc.

The current LOS Angeles riots have revived "mostly peaceful" in a big way. American officials and commentators are avoiding the infamous "mostly" construction and returning with "largely peaceful" (New York Times), "overwhelmingly peaceful" (a rebranded "Kamala the. Harris") or just "peaceful protests" (Cory Booker). Go overseas, though, or down a peg to the don't-give-a-damn tier of propagandists, and you'll see "mostly peaceful" back word-for-word.

By Sunday night, in a repeat of the Floyd story, protests were planned across the country. This is the critical part of every Trump news cycle. Instead of accepting political reality (Trump got elected, Trump nominated a judge, Trump got elected again, Trump started executing a promised immigration policy), press and elected opposition rally behind protests that are encouraged to spread everywhere, not-so-subtly pining for an administration-toppling Disorder Event, even if we just had an election. The same national security experts who ten seconds ago wanted to tear up the Constitution to stop "extremism" or "authoritarianism" now say throwing rocks at cops or burning shit is "legal protest" with a "little unrest," the First Amendment with a citrus twist of revolt. Usual Suspects like John Heilemann pop up to tell us there's nothing to see here, just people chanting "This is what democracy looks like!" in front of burning vehicles.

[QUOTE=Spidy;3009653]The man accused of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another in a campaign to 'inflict fear' made a first appearance in federal court on Monday, as the authorities described what they said were plans to carry out a wider killing spree aimed at Democratic politicians. Much like your gish gallop (which I can barely figure out a the best of times), the wackadoodle, QAnon/MAGA/Repub gun-totting THUGS, seem to have a penchant for committing unspeakable acts of violence, and often in the name of your Fuhrer.

And you have the nerve to call Dems, D-BAGs. No wonder your gish gallop logic, NEVER passes the smell test![/QUOTE]Now that you know this dirt bag was a Waltz appointee maybe you can say he was "mostly peaceful". I am Mr. Facts, Mr. Spidy. I am never wrong about anything. God, you are such a douche.

You gave me this link: [URL]https://www.rt.com/news/619472-maga-against-israel-lobby/[/URL].

I am not sure if you want the Democratic douches comment on this or not. I have a different background on this than others. My father is native Russian / Azarberjani but emigrated to Iran after the Russian revolution. It is funny how the douches bring up racism when they do not get I was the target of such slurs during the hostage crisis. And if you listen to people, you will see the Poles, Italians, and Irish were also routinely slurred in the early 20th century as well. And there were many white slaves in the USA called indentured servants. It is funny how the Democratic douches forget this.

Anyway, I was last in Iran in the mid 70's and recall the women wearing mini skirts and a land of clean, fresh water and marvelous bread. When my father came here and was given Wonder Bread, he thought people were joking. He was like, is this shit really bread?

One Muslim tradition I like is that a house guest is looked upon as a gift from God. I remember how kind everyone in Iran was to me, and my father was so grateful to those who opened their homes to him that he opened our home to every Iranian immigrant he knew. His family nickname was the Ambassador. It is funny how some of the sweetest, nicest people from my youth would now be assumed to be terrorists but there was one exception, one family that was just nuts. The father in this family came into our house and said war with the USA was inevitable and Iran would win. After the revolution, this nut job went back to Iran and held a high position in government. Even as a kid, I knew that meant trouble.

Whereas I felt like I could be objective about Iran, most of the people were nice but the government was corrupt as hell, I could talk to my Jewish friends about damned near anything except Israel. On that subject, they would be locked into this trance: only democracy in the region, it is our land, we are the chosen ones. If you even slightly disagreed with them, you were pond scum.

Unlike Saudi Arabia where non-Muslims are put to death, there are Jews and Christians in Iran, however, the Jewish greed in Iran is legendary. I should point out that I have not found that to be true in the USA where my Jewish friends would give me the shirt off their back. So when you had this corrupt horrible government in Iran, Jews were an easy target for finger pointing. A lot of time when you hear death to America and death to Israel that is an Iranian really thinking death to the Ayatollahs.

When the Iranians threw out the Shah, they thought it was the greatest thing ever but what they got was worse than the Shah ever was, so the good people in Iran are not going to buy into a revolution. BTW, have you noticed how many times when the dictators are thrown out things get worse in that country? So the people there are much more open to gradual change than revolution.

But as unpopular as the current Iranian regime is, almost all the people want the bomb, and who can blame them? Iraq attacked Iran in 1980 or so and we have seen Afghanistan and Iraq be subject to American style takeovers. So if you are an 18 year old Iranian who is looking to being drafted, would you want Iran to have nukes? Fuck yeah. If Iran has nukes, there probably is no more wars with Iran. The luster of war, so prominent in the 1940's 50's and 60's in the USA, is long gone the world over. Everyone today knows war sucks.

And the adamant nature about Iran not having the bomb is more about Israel than the USA. There are places in California where Farsi is more spoken than English, and the amount of money Iranians send back home is huge. The government is not going to risk that windfall attacking the USA. Iran not having the bomb is more about Israel then than the USA, and that is why I think we should stay the fuck out. Quite frankly, I know how crazy the Iranian leaders are but I also have seen how crazy Jewish people are with their support of Israel.

Given how much land the Federal government owns in the West, I would love to see everyone in Israel moved to somewhere like Idaho. It would be a huge boon to our economy and we would not have to be involved in the Middle East freak show any more, and we do not need to be. Like I said, we do not need the oil anymore.

As far as Iran closing the straight of Hormuz, I do not think they will. It would hurt China and India who buy most Iranian crude, but it would be a huge windfall for the USA. Hell, Texas alone would see its GDP double over night if Iran did that.

So on second thought, maybe we should go to war. LOL. Nah. Just kidding. I am for America first which means no more fucking wars abroad. The military now should just be about protecting the homeland. If you want to use my tax dollars to save lives when missiles are reigning down on Israel, that is fine, but I want no part in us killing Iranians.

Trump obviously sees the same potential stagflation result of his crap economic policies and stewardship that his Fed Chairman sees.

The 'tell' on that? Trump is publicly calling him "stupid", his favorite way to pass the buck of blame for his constant failures to someone else; If Powell doesn't cut rates and we get Trump's classic Repub Stagflation, it is because "stupid" Powell didn't cut rates. If Powell does cut rates and we get Trump's classic Repub Stagflation, it was because "stupid" Powell cut rates "too late. ".

And rest assured that if Powell had cut rates already, Trump would be out there publicly calling him "stupid" and "too soon Powell" so he can blame him for his classic Repub Stagflation if or when it arrives anyway.

So predictable.

[QUOTE]At his press conference, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that policymakers are well positioned to wait before moving further on rates. He also said that were beginning to see some effects of tariffs on inflation.
...........
"Everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs because someone has to pay for the tariffs, Powell said. It will be someone in that chain that I mentioned, between the manufacturer, the exporter, the importer, the retailer, ultimately somebody putting it into a good of some kind or just the consumer buying it.

All through that chain, people will be trying not to be the ones who can take up the cost but ultimately, the cost of the tariff has to be paid. And some of it will fall on the end consumer.
..........
The U.S. economy has not yet seen the full effect of tariffs on prices for consumers, Fed Chair Powell said.

It takes some time for tariffs to work their way through the chain of distribution to the end consumer. A good example of that would be goods being sold at retailers today may have been imported several months ago before tariffs were imposed. So were beginning to see some effects, and we do expect to see more of them over the coming months, he said.[/QUOTE]Granted, The Envy of the World Economy, Bidenomics, that Biden-Harris handed Trump is remarkably strong and resilient. It would be very difficult for even practiced Economy-Destroying Repubs to Crash it.

However, Trump is a very special kind of Economy-Crashing Repub. He has a lifetime of experience bankrupting businesses and losing billions of other people's money. So he just might be able to pull off the contractually-obligated duty of all Repub Administrations to Crash the booming Dem economy they invariably inherit when elected.

Just as he did in his first term.
