So, who is going to win? AI investment to power the market forward or government instability/tariffs/job loss to hold it back?

Lutnick said “not from the tariffs” blamed the “democrat shutdown” even though the problem was well before the shutdown. Inept government.

This is the part that gets me. It is almost like if they admit to any flaw, the whole billionaire-on-our-side/swamp drainer/America first thing falls apart. So, they have to maintain cognitive dissonance and refuse to see any flaws at all.

America First! Because, if someone in a Central American country asks us to pardon a narco trafficker, of course we just do it. The cult level you would have to be to consider these answers sufficient.

My point isn’t whether he is right or not, metro/urban, or anything political. My point is that you can’t remove parts of something to make it a better comparison with something else that you didn’t treat the same. “Take away SGAs scoring and the Thunder have only won a few games this...

So? Unless you went through all the other states and pulled out their lower socio-economic areas that is meaningless data manipulation p

The closest I am aware of is Clinton and Marc Rich. But, that was Clinton’s final day, he later said he made a bad decision and regretted it, and he received far more flack about that one than Trump has about many that have been far worse.

Sort of like if I ate a grape while shopping in a grocery store and you walked out of Best Buy with an iPhone saying “Both are theft so the same.” “No” political gain. I doubt it. But, nobody has been pardoned for paying a huge contribution from jail until Trump. Nobody has even come close...

Pardons are for two reasons. -Grift. Many pardons are simple pay-for-play. Trump blows $50 million in taxpayer restitution to get a million or two for himself. - Partisan criminality. He is teaching the lesson, if you commit a crime as a republican especially if it is allegiance to me, you...

Why couldn’t it be? It was a totally unregulated mess. Being that I work in the government and know about the waste despite intense oversite, I simply cannot imagine the level of waste. Add in the theft of data, and I’m surprised you don’t have more concerns than “false promise.” My cynical...

Or, were you talking about the search here? Curious, why would a failure by the Minnesota governor be big news to you, when you have ignored what the federal government is doing (at least by posts) for a long time? This goes far beyond partisan politics. I genuinely don’t care about Tim Walz—...

Now, let's search Fox News for pardons since our president actually is pardoning a narcoterrorist. Gee, Maybe this is the broken search function you are thinking about........ Nothing since May despite tons of horrific pardons.

Oh, found it. Whew, he didn't pardon a narcoterrorist, what a crazy guess. Found it using the NYT search function. Weird it works for me but not you. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/us/fraud-minnesota-somali.html
