Well, how would you know how many people died without official records? Go poll every morgue or funeral home in every state?

Democrats didn't cause inflation since it's a global issue. Unless you wanna make the claim that US policy caused inflation world wide.
That being said, Trump can (and probably will) lower gas prices quickly by removing the sanctions on Russia and withdrawing support for Ukraine. This will cause Russian oil to flow into America, increasing supply and decreasing price.
Trump will then sell weapons to Russia and help them destroy the evil Nazis in Ukraine. Prices will stabilize in about 3 years as Ukraine becomes a vessel of Russia. Again.
Let's see how well this holds up.
And then despots around the world will learn that all you have to do is threaten America with nuclear weapons and they'll cave to just about anything. "Make America the Weakest It's Been Since the American Revolution" would have been a better tagline for Trump's campaign.
No no, no threats.
Just say "Mr. president, you are an amazing leader and the best leader America has seen. Can I have a nuke?"

« on: November 07, 2024, 05:04:28 PM »Okay.And when was it over last time?Do you even understand what I wrote?
You said from precedent, which implies that this has happened before and the country came to end or very nearly did.
You clearly do not understand.
Past precedent refers to prior events, setting the stage for future situations.
So, instead of you writing, "...from precedent, which implies that this has happened before..."
You would write, '...from precedent, which implies that things have happened before..."
Precedent typically involves the thing you're talking about. Saying "from past precedent of how you walk your dog, I conclude that the country is going to crash" isn't precedent.

It will be due to more of a police state.
It is quite possible there will be no inauguration on January 20th, 2025.
Brandon is likely to either die or retire and the cunt will be in power. Once that happens, game over.

I'm all for pain now, but since Trump won on "shit is too expensive!" I'm not sure making it MORE expensive is gonna help.
Even though you won't be paying any of those increased costs.
amirite, uh?
I already openly bitched about it, yeah.
And no, I will not.

« on: November 06, 2024, 04:25:24 PM »Perhaps in retrospect the Democrats can admit running a candidate who couldn't make it a few months in their primary was a bad idea.What was the other option though when Biden was so clearly unfit for office?
The other option was not hiding Biden's cognitive decline in the first place. Being "forced" to choose an extremely unpopular VP to run was a result of that bad decision. Had the DNC ran an actual primary instead of a farce, they might not be staring down the barrel of the reddest government the US has seen in decades.
I agree. The Democratic leadership monumentally dropped the ball, and there need to be consequences for this.
The consequences being: MAGA style politics is now socially acceptable and encouraged because it works and will for a decade or two.

« on: November 06, 2024, 02:37:40 PM »^LD doesn't understand tariffs are levied in terms of competitive restrictions, relating directly to where things are manufactured, not produced.^LD doesn't understand tariffs.
Adding a "tax" to goods and services in order to have them imported with the goal of making prices for domestic products and services more competitive.
So a 20% tarrif for rice from China means any cost of the item will increase by about 20% for the end consumer.
You do understand that, yes?
Tariffs are not necessarily levied against every single thing another country wants to export.
... Did I say they were levied against every item from a country? Tarrifs are by item from country, not a blanket all items from a country. Unless you do that anyway.
And yes, rice from China had a tarriff.
Trump has promised a blanket tarriff on ALL china made goods. 60% or more. So.... Maybe go talk to him about what a tarriff is.

A removal of Zelensky and all the rest of the NAZIS would be a good first step.Don't worry. I'm certain Trump will ensure that Russia will take over Ukraine, kill Zelenaky, and purge anyone who disagrees.

Trump said he could stop Putin in an instant.
What he doesn't say is 'by letting them take all of Ukraine's.
