These traditional media talking heads are running as fast as they can into irrelevancy.

They have the most obtuse take on everything, presumably to get people to watch. It's like clickbait titles.. more eyeballs more dollars. It's exhausting.

Kamala didn't lose because she's dumb and uncharismatic. That's just too obvious. It's because misogyny.

In their oppression olympics, black people have been called white supremacists, and it looks like soon enough women will be called misogynists when they don't support whatever the media tells them to.

Yes, because there are no other ailments.
Pretty close statistically. Smoking is the number one killer in the U.S. followed closely by obesity.

You can also say advanced age is a morbidity factor, but everyone is universally covered by Medicare at 65.

You might be interested to know low income Hispanic-Americans have much longer life expectancy than other low income groups. Their life expectancy as a general group is higher than white Americans. Apparently, smoking is not prevalent in the culture. Lack of obesity in Hispanic's earlier years is also a factor.


All this stuff is out there. Beyond winning elections, politics is about solving problems. Its biases and rhetoric not particularly useful in understanding the world.

President can pardon himself. So yeah he could go shoot someone and pardon himself.
I think your safe. Pardons don't extend to crimes beyond our borders.

Reagan was not a help to the middle class but his time period was also a switch to the service based economy.
It seems almost everything changed in the early 1980s.

.
You can see the big drop in manufacturing corresponds closely with China being granted membership into the World Trade Organization.

But, let's remember, Trump said he'd put tariffs on every import, which would pass on the cost of things to the consumer. That is a major problem because it is basically a new consumption tax that will make everything more expensive. Economists say it will hurt the US economy as well as Canada's. And, why wouldn't China or other countries impose retaliatory tariffs on US made goods? Now, there is a very good chance that he will not do anything. Remember all the promises he made in 2016 that never came to fruition. He might have "concepts" of plans, but lacks the ability to get them through congress.
You have to look at this as a negotiating stance. He said so as much, but it doesn't help to emphasize that to your problematic trade counterparts.

Does it mean the USMCA gets thrown out? Or does it just mean he's going to hold Mexico to the agreement?

How are you Lefties feeling this morning??!! 😂
It must really suck to be on the losing side for 2 out of the last 3 elections, huh??!!
Next 4 years of TDS are gonna be comedy gold.
Please dont let me down. I expect at least a dozen anti-Trump threads daily 👍
I am looking forward to the protests.
The late night talk shows.
The barrage of media attacks.
The Trump tantrums.
The fights between reporters and Trump.
The chaos.
The law suits.
The executive orders.
The blocked executive orders.
And so on...:)

Course of climate change will definitely not be altered by Trump. But at
least people will not be scammed by net-zero emission promises.
We'll see. I hoping we have more open conversations not dogma. Western countries can't afford costly green initiatives that don't deliver bang for the buck. Nuclear needs to be in the mix.

Why do liberals revel in destruction?

Focus on building things, improving things, bettering yourself and others, and making the world more peaceful.

Because, believe it or not, those chickens do come home to roost eventually.
