A talking point bites the dust

Larry flunked math.

You should sue your school district
Be kind to RedDick. The one weakness in an economy that has been growing and adding jobs at a pace that is the envy of the post COVID world is subsiding, making crime an issue runs counter to actual facts showing a decline in crime every year since Trump left office, Ukraine's incursion into Russia has sent shivers up the spine of his pro-Putin treason monkey ticket and now after pinning all of his hopes on Biden's age it is HIS candidate that is the sputtering senile old man. It is a lot to have to absorb.

Summed up neatly.  In chess Trumps position is called zugzwang.

Politico reports

Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday will call on Congress to pass a federal ban on price gouging as part of her economic platform to lower grocery prices and everyday costs.
Apparently Harris would  impose price stability on the market by decree via the Federal Trade Commission, which would be empowered along with state attorneys general to investigate and levy penalties on food companies that violate the federal ban.


Gee, Biden  went for that in his State of the Union, calling it disinflation, and it went no where.
Even Congress is not that stupid( well many democrats are) but allowing the executive branch to functionally set prices is a fucking stupid idea that would only HURT consumers in the long run.

If this is Kamala speaking to issues then we are better off if she just shuts up.

Red got on the wife beaters for price gouging crusade pretty quick. It probably has to do with several more words that he does not understand.

Ask Harry Truman about June 1950 thru February 1951

Yes LBJ was a pisser. Still worshipped even after vietnam by some.

Inflation is mainly caused by the mass immigration policies of Santa Joe. 8 million newcomers has greatly affected the price of housing. Gouging has had a small affect.

We can remind Jimdick about his views when a hurricane blasts through his retirement paradise and he is charged $15 for a bottle of water.

"That's the highest award you can get as a civilian. It's the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor (sic). But civilian version, it's actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it, and she's a healthy, beautiful woman, and they're rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for - and that's through committees and everything else."
