You just wish you could be so unburdened by history ;-)

Yet more examples of the GQP’s true mission - exploit the power and vast resources of the govt for their own misogynist, racist, classist, and most of all, selfish benefits.

They’re, ahem, avoiding the appearance of, cough, bias. Once we have all those Dem examples, we can report. Standing by.

Traders place $760 million bet on falling oil ahead of Hormuz announcement Investors placed a bet worth about $760 million on a falling oil price around 20 minutes before Iran's foreign ​minister announced on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz was open, ‌another sizeable wager...

Reuters says it was traders, fwiw

Of course he knows it’s not a light switch.

Maybe, but looks steamed to me ;-)

Try not taking our regime so literally. Shippers aren't. The Straight is as 'open' as a toll booth operated by a hostile country. All 'we' did was throw billions away in service of showing Iran just how much leverage they really have, among other stupid tricks...

since there's widespread recognition that the economy will only continue to get worse, even if somehwhat minimally.

Of course, if he gets control of the Fed, we're really fucked! /n

oops...

1) Drives down sentiment among Rs and 2) Drives down sentiment among Ds and Is because so much of any economic poor performance there is is self-inflicted and there's overwhelming evidence of utter incompetence and corruption, so it's not a matter of 'same boat' or 'ride it out' 4/

coming from the regime (Lutnick, Bessent, especially).

My own theory is that there are 2 primary drivers: 1) trump promised to lower prices on day 1, which he obviously didn't and 2) trump's corruption, cronyism, oligarchy-ism, threats to the Fed, et al, and general economic mismanagement, along with the stream of lies about the state of the economy 2/

@pkrugman.bsky.social is on the case, too! paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lies-damne...

He hasn't landed on THE reason, but shares many of your conclusions about the various data points. Objectively, the economy isn't that bad - for everyone - to justify the lowest recorded consumer sentiment 1/

Iran is stronger now and no longer need to rely on the 'threat' of SoH closure. It's like a war game that they've won come to life.

Bob Barker rollin in his grave sayin…gotcha!

Whoa! Wait'll Reddit hears that we had 25 cent beers in college in the late 80s!

Shoulda been an email.

LSB's lips are obscene.

Oh yeah, doctor's the one with pills and needles...

Nor is the NYT... "Jesus-Like"??? Ffs, they're unwilling to call balls and strikes.

He clearly believes in the capacity of others and takes comfort in his ability to delegate.

We’re blocking the thing we want open because we don’t need it.

Hehe, he said “erection”

Nevermind that he’s already failed!

Woulda been way more likely if the US didn’t just pants itself on the world stage…

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Easier to dehumanize them as "women" instead of "girls". They do it to teen "boys" when it comes to crime.

He's referring to F47

Even tho El-Sayed probably knows what she means, he also knows what she means. Good on him for not legitimizing or stooping or falling into her trap! 2/2

Ok, ok, lemme clear this up. Reingold is an arrogant ignoramus. She doesn't actually understand the 'nuances' between Jew, Judaism, Israel, "Jewish State" - it's all the same in her reality (and most of the GQP and they're hacks). 1/2
