@LewisKreg20760 @DemocraticWins “Economics” says 2% is the healthy rate, and the Fed’s target. Trump has got us to 4% via tariffs and war with Iran. If the Strait opened tomorrow, it would still be months before production levels would recover.

86 years ago, Europe made a mistake appeasing a dictator overriding Czech sovereignty and handing over the Sudetenland. Now they face a similar situation regarding Danish sovereignty and they no the only way forward is to stop humoring Trump

@atrupar Gov. Landry- go read up on the Spanish- American War and what happened in the Philippines and Cuba and Nicaragua and Columbia before asserting that the US never engaged in imperialism. And for a chaser also check out Hawaiian History and the Mexican American War

@Ash_lagacy I did 3:00 am feedings ( with occasional projectile vomiting) for 2 years with my daughter- so YMMV

@brndxix Sadly I thought most Americans were too smart to fall for a grifter like Trump- and they did. I was sure they wouldn’t elect a felon, insurectionist, sexual predator- and I was wrong about that too. I agree that JD is an opportunistic worm with the personality of a chameleon

@chamath Sounds like DEI to me

[Alan Lehotsky @aplmit]

@elonmusk Wouldn’t hiring because the candidate was a republican be DEI? I would be confident that they can’t find a qualified republican candidate given the lack of critical thinking skills and the apparent absence of any mathematical ability

@annvandersteel I thought MAGA believed in states rights?

[Alan Lehotsky @aplmit]

@dvassallo Musk did none of that. He bought Tesla, he bought SpaceX. Only thing he was technically involved in was PayPal. Everything else is financial engineering

@RapidResponse47 @SecScottBessent @POTUS Would require an average return of 6.39%, so possible but not guaranteed and given the destruction of the economy thru Trump’s and your policies it would be very unlikely unless you get kicked to the curb

@RobSchneider Deists are not necessarily Christian. And anyway there was strong agreement that religion in government was a terrible idea. The many religious wars and persecutions in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries made it clear what crimes were committed in the name of religion

@NancyMace You voted against the infrastructure bill- typical two-faced MAGA behavior

@simonhedlin @Wisdom_HQ And MIT interviewers (I’m one) are explicitly told not to give quizzes!

@elonmusk What dictionary or legal document are you using to make this claim?

[Alan Lehotsky @aplmit]

@elonmusk The “average kid” being fine does not mean that hunger is banished. There is mass starvation in Sudan and plenty of American children who are undernourished. As Mark Twain said: figures don’t lie, but liars figure

@townhallcom @SenTedCruz All a scam to allow them to eliminate Social Security- no single mom waitress is going to add $5k/yr to the TRUMP account

@TheBTCTherapist Stupid- do the math, even if the federal budget was cut in half we are 2 orders of magnitude short of funding
