  1. Saw a couple of videos today where both Walmart and Dominoes Pizza are warning that the US economy is crashing.

  2.  @TiredoldFox  But that means that ALL goods from foreign sources will cost you more. It automatically means that inflation will jump by at least 20%. A tariff is a TAX that is applied to an IMPORT AFTER it enters the country. For example, if you would normally buy a laptop from any country for, say, $1100 (company buys it for $1000, then adds 10% for profit margin before selling it to you). Now, with a tariff, the foreign seller still gets $1000, but the company that bought the product now has to add a 20% tariff, or $200, to that product, making it cost $1200. Those $200 go to the US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - it is a TAX! Then the company has to add, say, 10% to the product so they can still make a profit, so your laptop is now $1320, instead of what you would pay without tariffs ($1100). You are paying $220 more for that product! Basically, you have an immediate 20% INFLATION RATE where all that money goes to the GOVERNMENT! And if it applies to all goods coming into the country, that means that any foreign electronics going into your car, computer chips in you fridge, nails for carpentry, ALL OF THEM will be 20% more. In other words, the government will be ripping you off and you will be bending over and asking for more!

  3. One wonders if Miller might be demon possessed.

  4. Miller has the most dead eyes I have ever seen on an individual. It is almost like there is nothing there, that Miller is a black hole or a void. He always strike me as being an emotionless robot.

  5.  @rickyfoos4185  I would say, though, it was not a good reason. Lots of people have been treated poorly but not betrayed their country. Arnold's treason also speaks of him having an overweening ego as well.

  6. I think Americans should be embarrassed they even voted him to be president.

  7. I think he was tired from running around campaigning. Biden is no longer young, and is starting to show his age. This is not insulting him, just stating facts. As you grow older, you start to lose stamina. I also think he was right to stand aside, because the Democratic campaign needed someone with higher energy and enthusiasm.

  8. The biggest takeaway from this is that the American electoral system needs a massive overhaul. They might want to look at the Canadian system.

  9. But didn't you know that vaccinations are dangerous, because RFK Jr tells us so! 🤒🤨🙄

  10.  @annegrogan3945  If Trump gets in, then Project 2025 becomes reality. The US Constitution gets suspended. Trump becomes a dictator, the police and courts are subject to Presidential decree, people are jailed on false charges, schools get closed, veterans lose their pensions, pensioners lost Medicare and Medicaid. Is this what you want? That WILL destroy the US.

  11. He's a malignant narcissist. Anyone who refuses to kiss his feet is an enemy. Zelensky was inadvertently responsible for him getting impeached the first time back in 2020. Trump has neither forgotten or forgiven Zelensky for this self-inflicted stain on his record. Today was just an ambush engineered by Trump and his toadying sychophants. I bet they are all patting themselves on their backs right now, not realizing they have just isolated themselves from the rest of the Free World just as their economy is starting to crash.

  12.  @rainerspin4340  Well, if you like paying 20% more for just about everything, knowing that money is going into the Federal coffers because it is a tax, laugh away.

  13. I still think there was a plan in the plan. If you kept the senators and congressmen in the Capitol for 24 hours, that would give the rioters more time to break into the building and possibly kill a few members of Congress. That way Trump could have declared Martial Law and stayed in office. That is why I think he did nothing for almost 3 hours - he was waiting for a report that someone in Congress had been killed so he could stage his coup d'etat. It's something that I am pretty sure someone like Michael Flynn (and possibly Steve Bannon) would come up with. The "Green Bay Sweep" was a decoy to keep everyone tied up until the coup could occur.

  14. Also, since the US imports huge quantities of oil from Canada and Saudi Arabia, placing tariffs on these imports will drive up the price of gas at the pump!

  15. Actually, if you look at it, Trump had about the same number of people vote for him as they did in 2020. The biggest problem is the 5 million people who DIDN'T vote Democrat like they did in 2020. Take a look at the numbers. This vote was not lost because of a Republican "red wave", but rather Democratic voters flushing their chances down the drain.

  16. Considering that JD Vance was there (a known hater of Ukraine), this was a set-up. It was just an excuse for Trump to drop Ukraine. Why does Trump want to do this? Because he is a malignant narcissist, and he has been looking for any opportunity to get back at Zelensky since 2020. Trump hasn't forgotten that it was his phone call to Zelensky that got him impeached the first time. This is Trump's petty revenge.

  17. I foresaw a lot of this back when the Tea Party first appeared. I remember telling my colleagues at the lunch table back in 2009 that I expected to see brown-shirted Republicans goose-stepping up the mall in Washington within 20 years. And here we are, 12 years later, seeing pseudo brown-shirts storming the US capitol, with extremist right-wing agitators inflaming them. For non-history types, the brown shirts (SA) were the Nazi's storm troops who flagrantly harassed and suppressed voters, and beat up anyone who opposed the Nazis. If the US is not careful, history WILL repeat itself.

  18.  @briandgarside  Real issue is that all these fascists are crawling out from underneath their rocks as soon as Trump gets elected. They have always been there, but now that their supervisors cannot stop them, they are free to act like the bigots they are.

  19. It was the 70+ million who didn't vote who let him in.

  20. In response to all those who did not vote, or who voted Republican, I will quote Bugs Bunny, "... And remember, YOU asked for it!"

  21. Well, half the Congress. The Democrats haven't betrayed you, just the GOP.

  22. It became apparent that the Republican Party was becoming unhinged was when they tried to impeach Bill Clinton. This was the first real appearance of their partisanship and intolerance. It has been all downhill since.

  23. Biggest issue is that a lot of people just did not vote! They didn't want Trump, but for some reason didn't want to vote for Kamala either. Instead of looking at what Trump would do if he got into office, and deciding to hold their noses and vote for Harris, they just sat of their fannies and did NOTHING! THAT is the big issue - people just burying their heads and not voting to support democracy. Well, guess they may get to find out what a dictatorship is like.

  24. Problem is that has to be started by JD Vance, the anti-Ukraine sycophant, plus the other incompetent toadies in the White House. The GOP is completely spineless, so nothing will happen. But as Macron said, there were reasons for the French Revolution, and all the oligarchs in the US might suddenly find torches and pitchforks on their lawns in the near future.

  25. I have seen this thesis presented previously on another channel, about 2-4 months ago. However, I am wondering if this is going to backfire on them.
