LOL - Conservatives --- sexy little virgina dressed in white, waiting for their turn to be sacrificed by the Israelis.

Papa Bush and James Baker yapped about settlements. Interests just happened to stay too high too long -- Papa gone.

All was well for Dubya. Absorbed the 9-11 attack as a result of the previous Gulf War and American bases in Saudi Arabia. Led the country rather well after it.

Had 60% plus approval ratings, got big agenda items done.

Then - NeoCon Iraq adventure.

Enter Barack Obama.

Now Trump.

Was doing ok. Got some of his agenda passed.

Then Came the NeoCon Iran adventure.

$ gass and 3.8 inflation.

Funny part is - even if Iran never happened, you people would have 3% inflation (lol as someone used to say, 2% is so over) and now......here's the fun part. You need to hike interest rates AND OR pray for AI to destroy middle class and hopefully upper middle class jobs to be a deflationary force.

So which do you want? Higher rates and shove it further inside the lready stagnant housing market? Make it even harder for already Tribal Silo-dwelling Americans to explore or relocate? OR pray for job losses to get inflation down.

Tee hee.

I'm sure that, if you back out everything with an above average inflation rate, then inflation would be below average. Math works that way, when you are a pol.

pray for AI to destroy middle class and hopefully upper middle class jobs to be a deflationary force.

Proles are nothing but expendable meat. Throw them into the volcano as a sacrifice to Vulcan. Everything, for the ease and comfort of the "JCs".

...meanwhile, the tech bros receive government bailouts, when their overextension comes around to bite them.

Today’s painful inflation report raises new questions about the Green New Deal...

Inflation; an old-fashioned word, very simple word...like almost nobody, you know, was using the word.

Innumeracy has taken over the media. Nobody bothers any longer to report the actual monthly CPI increase, which was 0.6% last month. That translates into a 7.4% annual inflation rate.

Funniest part is - Republicans THINK the tech bros are with them when indeed-------Big Tech was NOT created nor staffed by people from the high school football team in Alabama.

It was Liberals. It is Liberals.

It wasn't too long ago Righties were getting banned from tech platforms.


Tech bros have wisely latched on to power----corrupt Trump power- -- and are milking it as hard as they can.

Republicans don't realize in the end, just the way Israel does - tech bros will kick them to the curb.

The gaggle of tech bros at the inauguration was impossible to miss.

Of course. Tech bros are "JCs". Everyone and everything is expendable, in their personal pursuit of money and power.

Republicans kicked to the curb?

That would be a huge upgrade because they’re currently in the sewer.

Sleepy Don's ineptitude continues to punish hard working Americas...

April CPI inflation rose to 3.8%, inflation is much higher in many basic necessities:
Energy Commodity Inflation: +29.2%
Gasoline Inflation: +28.4%
Airfare Inflation: +20.7%
Fruits and Vegetables Inflation: +6.1%

Be quiet now it's time for Sleepy Don's nap...

Another 401K Taliban ---

No, the party that has rammed SCOTUS up white racist Liberal asses is hardly in sewer.

And I'm talking about the tech companies doing it to Republicans---stop the anger for just a moment. For now, Big Tech is using the. GOp -- and will kick them to the curb when GOP is out of power---not too long from now.

But hey, hopefully they took some of YOUR privacy and shitty civil liberties.

LOL----

Correct.

It would take multiple decades for them to see ANY light that got through any sewer.
