Harris did well in her CONVENTION speech.
It would been BOFFO is she was running against Biden.

Red has come around to endorsing Biden as he starts to appreciate all the good work the President has done in his term to reverse the decay and decline suffered in the United States under the most recent republican administration.
I think RedDick's Trump worship has gotten out of hand when he starts capitalizing random words just like his idol.

Rose Gooding: It looks better. Is there some sort of rulebook that says which letters you capitalize and which ones you don't, and when?

Woman Police Officer Gladys Moss:  ...yes.

Still waiting for WLL.  Library ordered it two months ago - is it shipped via mule team?

Trump resuscitated Boffo back in 2020.

There has never been a time in either of my two Campaigns when I felt we had a stronger chance of winning than we do right now. Early voting reports look far stronger than originally anticipated. Every RALLY is BOFFO. MarkMeadows  and team are doing a fantastic job.

I liked the movie, but the wait may make it seem a letdown. The best part of that interaction, which does not show up in a quote, is the look on Jessie Buckley's face at the end. Granted, "the look on Jessie Buckley's face" would be the best part of a lot of things.

Boffo is a word ripped from the headlines of a 1940's edition of Variety. Along with the all caps it makes me wonder if RedDick just did a C&P from a Trump tweet.

Santa Joe made the right choice she obviously was better looking than the grand orange, with positive energy that poured through. Had to say yes to some of Santa's weird obsessions. Yeah sure we really need 300k more Venezuelans. Take from everywhere to fund mass immigration.

You know, lost in the economist hand wringing over companies losing the right to price gouging is the absolute bat shit idiocy of Trump's tariff proposal. Trump seems rather stupidly unaware of who actually pays the tariffs, which is dumbfounding for someone who spent four years imposing them. Foreigners do not pay tariffs. Not foreign countries, not foreign companies. Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter. Americans will be paying the tariffs. And for people who argue against every tax on corporations as being ultimately paid by the consumer to ignore the inflationary effect at a time when inflation is a huge issue in the campaign is hypocritically hilarious.

Tariffs are just one of the reasons TRUMP does not get my vote.
As for the article referenced. It was full of economic nonsense. The credibility of KOS has never  been very high since it insists on publishing articles its staff has not even read.

I do not believe you. I suspect.no one here does. Though I am glad you recognize the mortifying stupidity of Trump's proplsal.

Then I have that in common with them, assuming the article was more than two paragraphs.

The key paragraph is a little farther down,

So, just today the Biden-Harris Department of Justice filed suit against Harlan Crow and his RealPage software for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. California, Colorado, Minnesota, North Carolina and Washington, as well as other states joined the suit. Notice, all those states have Democratic Party governors and/or AGs

RealPage is a service that facilitates landlords in illegally colluding to Jack up rents.

Lowering rents for hardworking Americans can be accomplished by screwing Harlan Crow as bigly as possible.

Trump tariff thinking, like most of his boasting, is ego driven.Tariffs  are universal and can be adopted for a number of reasons,
(But I do feel amused that the Trump Tariffs were left untouched by BIDEN WHO ALSO has left the Tax Cuts in place  as well.)

Now we have Kamala railing against tariffs and labeling them a sales tax on the middle class.
Tariffs are certainly not a national sales tax because they only apply to imported goods, which make up a small portion of the goods and services purchased by U.S. consumers.

Small portion, maybe, but the poorer you are the higher the percentage of your spending. Looked at the label on your clothes lately?

The only thing BOFFO was the ketchup that splattered the wall at Mar a Largo when Trump threw his dinner plate.

WOW! What a concept. So does taxing the rich more make poorer people less poor?
