Investors are, however, betting that Trump’s plan to cut taxes and raise tariffs will push up inflation and reduce the pace of interest rate cuts.

Higher rates for longer mean investors will get better returns on savings and investments they hold in dollars.

So they are hoping we’ll get more inflation so they can get better returns on their bonds, and trump will spin this as good for the economy . Fuck finance, fuck Trump and fuck this shit country.

Oh no, a strongly worded letter! Did he send it attached to the new shipment bombs?

Rhetorical opposition doesn’t mean shit when your still giving them everything they want materially.

but he said he might stop sending bombs

Keyword said not did, most likely in a ploy to flip some pro-palestinian voters last minute only to pretend he never said it after the election.

  1. The pro Israel money was already going to trump. Fucking Miriam adelson alone gave him $100 million

  2. Even though the Israel lobby is huge it’s not dominant on a national stage. Sure Aipac can take out some first term reps with a couple million dollars but they are dwarfed by the amount of money going into the presidential election. If anyone can take on the Israel lobby it’s the presidential candidate with a war chest the size of a small countries gdp.

There was a massive media campaign against it. Every other political ad on tv was against it .

Progressive policies are popular until billionaires spend millions of dollars convincing people that the world will end if we help poor people a bit.

For police staffing it’s been going down since the George Floyd protest No one wants to be a cop any more. This one doesn’t give years but it says 5% over the last couple years. The change is bigger in larger more liberal cities. Chicago is down 13% since 2018 , san francisco which inspired this meme is down 20% since 2017 and all the mayoral candidates are falling over themselves to say they’ll solve it even though crime is down.

For crime I was referring to the decline since the post pandemic peak.

If you let the sauce simmer for long enough, 4-5 hours, or pressure cook it the starches of the tomatoes will break down and you won’t need to add sugar. The acidity will also go down the longer it’s simmered too.

I didn’t vote for them, I voted for another third party candidate whose less cozy with putin since I live in California and due to our fucked up electoral system my vote for president doesn’t matter. If I was voting in a state that mattered I’d vote for Harris for harm reduction. I’m just tired of all the people on here blaming stein for Harris lack of support among progressives and Arabs instead of Harris for running a campaign that alienated them.

Their politics are the same as all the other green parties, actually address the climate crisis, defund the military and end forever wars, and implement some basic social democracy like single payer Healthcare. They can’t do any of this because they can’t get into power due to the electoral system, but that’s not there fault.

What are they supposed to do in between elections? The only time people care about politics and the only time it matters is during elections. Trying to build the party in off years is mostly a waste of time since people will just ignore you or forget about you by the time the election comes around.

Have you been to a protest or talked to pro-Palestinian voices. The demand has always been to stop weapons shipments to Israel, even before October 7th. This isn’t moving the goal posts, the goal posts have been there for decades, it’s just both parties have and continue to ignore them.
