The guy with six casino crashes, a football league crash, and numerous other failures is working hard on his second crashing of the United States economy.
US economic growth was even weaker than previously reported at the end of last year, dragged down by the historic government shutdown, even before America’s war with Iran.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output, expanded at an annualized rate of 0.7% in the October-through-December period, the Commerce Department said Friday in its second estimate. That’s down sharply from the 1.4% rate initially reported, and a much slower pace than the 4.4% in the third quarter.

The Dow and stuff. I noticed there really hasn't been much mention of this recently.
Here's what gets me: in MOST cases, I don't give the President (regardless of party) a whole helluva lot of credit one way or the other whether the economy is good or bad simply because even intelligent guys can be overtaken by external circumstance and dumb guys can just happen to be in the right place at the right time. I'm not saying a President can do NOTHING to affect the economy - but he can't (in most cases) do very much because it's a vast machine with global intersections. Saddam invading Kuwait turned Bush's normal business cycle recession into a crippling one in 1990-91, for example.
But this is a guy who wants to walk into a casino and put someone else's entire net worth on one number on the roulette wheel. OVER AND OVER again. Punitive tariffs and chosen war are two of the most obvious cases where a President CAN crush an economy overnight. The 2020 pandemic - I spot Trump in the sense that (as Obama himself noted), it was going to happen anyway, but that doesn't absolve him of making a total hash of the situation, either.
It's time the GOP take a page from the Democrats' 2024 playbook: invoke the 25th Amendment (in this case), replace Vance as the #2 guy with Marco Rubio, get this situation resolved - and then turn to minimizing your midterm losses.
It's not that I like Vance, who appears to have put his manhood in a blind trust and handed it to Trump, but can he REALLY be any worse than a guy starting WW3 to hide his predilection for little girls?
from what i’ve seen of vance, he wouldn’t hesitate to try his damnedest to carry on the trump torch of idiocy. but past a very surface level, he does not possess the “charisma” or the complete shamelessness of the mango moron

Vance is a guy - and there are too many nowadays - where opportunism has replaced any form of leadership vision. Every President of my lifetime with the exception of the two Bush guys had ideas they wanted to implement and goals they wanted America to accomplish, whether we agreed or disagreed with them. Most of the losers did, too, with the notable exceptions of Trump in 2020 and Kerry.
(Note: I actually think Kerry DID have goals and a vision, but I also think he wasn't going to tell us what they were because on the whole they weren't popular outside of his little corner of the world, and he knew it). That's why he ran such an empty campaign - the emptiness of the W campaign meant Kerry nearly won.
During a heartwarming ceremony for Women’s History Month, Donald Trump was joined by Melania Trump and surrounded by children, creating an incredibly touching scene.
While signing the proclamation, Trump cracked a couple of lighthearted jokes, making the children and attendees burst into laughter. The combination of humor, warmth, and celebration highlighted not only the importance of honoring women but also the human side of leadership.

A federal judge has quashed a pair of grand jury subpoenas sent to the Federal Reserve Board as part of a criminal probe by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office, saying they were merely a pretext to pressure Chairman Jerome Powell into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.
"There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas' dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the President or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will. On the other side of the scale, the Government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President," Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia....
For those wondering, YES, he was appointed by Obama.
HOWEVER.....
- Roberts appointed him to head FISC
- he was a classmate of Kavanaugh FWIW
- he ordered the release of 14K of Hillary's emails at State
- he also protected Trump on his taxes simply because they are confidential
That doesn't strike me as a liberal ideologue, nor would it matter given the point being discussed.

Brendan Carr: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.
When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.
Time for change!

Buttigieg: "The president's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war. If the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the bodies of America's war dead, he is unfit to be the commander in chief."
Per Timothy McBride:
Recall, the GOP cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. If the war and its after effects takes two months, that is at minimum $100 billion (likely more)If the war takes 6 months that is $300 bill. If it takes a year that is close to $600 bill. So we cut Medicaid & are spending the $$ on a war of choice

Apparently, the U.S. has spent $12 Billion on the Iran War in only a few weeks.This means the U.S. has already spent more money on the Iran War than it does on cash assistance for the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families ANNUALLY.
