  1. Too funny US per capita income is rising because: "COVID-19 is set to result in a further fall in the U.S. population growth. According to the latest estimates by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, U.S. population will be 374 million by 2046, 10 million less than 2018's prediction. It mainly takes into account a predicted decline in the birth rate due to higher unemployment rates and an increase in anxiety to economic consequences of the pandemic. The long-term effects of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. are still anybody’s guess, but most economists and experts are predicting significant negative impacts on GDP, jobs growth and even population sizes. Data released by the Congressional Budget Office last week shows just how bad the U.S. government believes the outlook is for the future." The brilliance of high speed internet isn't watching porn 24/7. Its that the answers to everything is out there just ask the questions. If trump and the GOP wasn't so focused on "white power" perhaps immigrants from Ireland, Norway, etc would look at the US. Instead racist policies and border walls and Trump Virtually Cuts Off Refugees as He Unleashes a Tirade on Immigrants. So imagine the last few old white men in nursing homes being cared for by a Honduran orderly with a ratio of 100-1. Because there is nobody to look after the old white men. Immigrants that are brown, black, yellow etc.and remember the old racist GOP policies of the 2010-20's.
  2. Well the leader of this cult just got sentenced to 120 years. So the question now is how long should the trump cult leader get?
  3. It sounds similar to the trump cult. Sex, payment for educational scams, self enrichment, hero worship. Just a more advanced time line because its leader is soon to face sentencing. Sex Cult Leader, Facing Life Sentence, Regrets Nothing Instead of pussy grabbing this cult leader: "Mr. Raniere also created a secret women-only group within the company in 2015. Those women, who were called “slaves,” were branded with his initials near their pelvises and assigned to have sex with him. They adhered to strict diets, restricted to as low as 500 calories a day. They were required to hand over collateral, including photos of their genitals that they feared would be released if they disobeyed orders."

    Q

    Its only socialism when immigrants or somebody else is getting benefits.Tell US farmers that the $22.5 Billion that they received in subsidies in 2019, for which without exception they'll vote trump is socialism. In fact they have a new name for it: "The money flowed to farmers....Government-subsidized crop insurance covered some of the losses from flooding. Other payments were unprecedented. The U.S. Department of Agriculture simply sent him a check to compensate him for the low prices resulting from the trade war. " 'Trump money' is what we call it," Henry said. "It helped a lot. And it's my understanding, they're going to do it again."

    Q

    Thats a tough one, central to northern Alberta is the place for Ron. Lots of right wing religious: "According to reports a group of individuals connected to Soldiers of Oden and The Clann, known far-right Islamophobic hate groups, entered the Al Rashid Mosque, the oldest operating mosque in Canada, on Friday around prayer services and appeared to be scouting the building. The men left after being asked by mosque officials about their presence and then confronted community members outside."

  6. Hey, for an election whats another 30-50 cases. Just goes to show there is little separation between trump and Pence. How little respect of common sense.
  7. There is a old saying in the markets. You don't fight the FED. Which is course the Federal Reserve. The reason for that is the Fed has unlimited powers of stimulus. In the last two years the Fed has pumped money into the economy. First because of trump's foray into war with China: Trump slams Fed, says trade war forced China to use stimulus plan. Then the Fed had to stimulate the economy again because of trump's bungling of Covid.: What’s the Fed doing in response to the COVID-19 crisis? What more could it do? So the Fed has been forced to pour another $2.3 trillion because of the "missteps" of trump's covid response. That would bring total US stimulus during the trump mandate. To a total of $8.3 trillion in total debt. Because the US government itself has borrowed $6 T. With that much cash flowing into the economy its almost, remember almost, impossible for the market to collapse. Now I actually agree with you.. That is the reason why there are now Amount of global debt with negative yields balloons to $15 trillion. Every investor needs to understand that first link in this paragraph and the entire concept of negative yields. Investors buying negative yield bonds are not stupid. They are savers that neither trust gold nor current market valuations. Having said that the US FED can still stave off recession, for a while. I'm not so arrogant to suggest how long.
  8. The stock market would love a Democratic sweep in November More pain than gain: How the US-China trade war hurt America Two simple facts as above. trump has been clear that he wants a all out war of annihilation against China. He has stated that he wants to end all "dependence on China trade". He will view reelection as a green light for more war, more tariffs and zero compromise. Only Biden will tackle the Covid factor in the economy just as China has done. In the last quarter China's GDP grew at 4.9%
  9. Because you gave me a like I'll try to be non critical in my dissenting with the logic of the GOP. 1. trump has propped the markets up with $6 trillion in borrowing over the last four years. So equity markets were primed and primed again by federal stimulus. 2. 3. McConnell has said he will not support any other relief bills. Biden and Pelosi have both supported another $2.5 trillion. Which is supported by US FED economists. 4. Wall street odds-makers have already priced a dem victory into the markets and the S&P is within a couple points of an all time record.
  10. You're an amusing story teller. Hard working uneducated immigrant workers will send their children to school. They will learn that GOP special interest groups like pharma, the military industrial complex, the largest- the health care industry, etc. All keep the GOP alive. Those educated children will teach their parents not to fear equal rights for all. Not to fear the KKK, the Proud Boys and others. But to vote out those that use them for political advantage. Vote out those that sow fear and division. So all Americans can picnic and drink cold beers under the American flag. A multicolored flag crafted to symbolize the many colors of Americans.
  11. You must be very happy with your silent figuring! When trump loses you can make up for it with the same "sushi saki and a couple beers". Perhaps you can help outlive trump by doing your part.. You could be a part of the shrinking 31 percentiles. Post election the GOP old guard will toss the old trumpites but trump is sure to try to peddle his lies and b.s. So the 31% will be the one percenters absent the real republicans trying to rebuild the party. Stick in there because you'll fit.
  12. It takes little effort to understand many issues today if you start with trusted sources of information. Here is one about the FDA former Monsanto official quoted by billeisele.Its from Food Safety News. Another from Politico "Taylor’s departure comes at a particularly crucial time for implementing a massive food safety overhaul that he’s championed throughout his tenure in government....Health advocates are hopeful that Ostroff,(THE NEW HIRE replacing Taylor) who has a background in epidemiology, will stay the course on FSMA and other key issues, but just about everyone also acknowledges that Taylor leaves big shoes to fill. Industry leaders, consumer advocates and state officials all reacted to the news with effusive praise of Taylor’s track record." Stirring the pot by billeisele may be on target. Why would Obama a consumer advocate hire a Monsanto and GMO industry lobbyist to fight against everything he stands for? Its completely counterintuitive. Trump on the other hand has a well established track record of deregulation and incompetent methodology in hiring. Which takes me back to understanding issues. It starts with common sense and reliable sources. This is what gets trump into so much trouble. He can't resist lying and shooting his mouth off about issues of which he knows nothing about.
  13. Perhaps he needs his own Qanon One in four Britons believe in QAnon-linked theories Didn't he promise the world re brexit. i.e. have your cake and eat it too? So he lies like trump about trade. That it can all be a one way street.
  14. If you replied with facts or offered explanations based upon some sort of reasoning your trolling would be less evident.
  15. trump loves to wave the bible so you could have got these insightful quotes from him as well. Below all from the word of christ. "But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ... But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, ... For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. . If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.” So Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian to execute the Lord's vengeance on Midian. You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war.” So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. ... " and on and on there are many many more.

    Q

    Yes trump will be very busy in a second term: Trump wants to end U.S. reliance on Chinese manufacturing ‘once and for all.’ U.S. firms aren’t complying But China has already taken the lead: and has financed about four percent of a total of US $26 trillion net external debt: In fact the US needs China more than China needs the US. This from "Industry Week" a manufacturing based information service primarily aimed at US exporting manufacturing companies. This goes beyond trump's rhetoric because most of trumps supporters don't understand these trade issues.
  17. Bibi uses trump like populism, fear and division except he has brains that work all the time. Nobody has demonstrated such a Teflon political capacity in Israel before. He illustrates the best of trump and McConnell in one person. Naturally some Israeli voters will despise such a person. His legal issues will eventually catch up with him as well.

    Q

    Priceless, even God may have a chuckle on this one before he sends you off to Lucifer for your trump deal.
  19. trump did claim that those children were bought into the US by "coyotes," or human smugglers. A lie specifically intended to deflect justified criticism of his policy. Originally led by Jeff Sessions it was trump who built the "cages" that in another lie shortly thereafter he blamed on Biden. By "asking" him "who built those cages?" Shortly thereafter in a bit of braggadocio he stated "They are so well taken care of, they're in facilities that are so clean." Which of course is at odds to the feelings of his evangelical base who: "The Bible says to welcome immigrants. So why don’t white evangelicals? 68 percent of white evangelicals say America has no responsibility to house refugees."
  20. For Chris%%%%'s sake this whole covid brain numbing thing again! What about: The 1994 Rwanda genocide where christian ministers assisted the murder of the Tutsi ethnic group. Through the entire massacre of 7.7 million people "God" and that was christ was on the side of the Army.
  21. Silly me! I forgot about the christian chaplains in the Wehrmacht in WW1 and WW2?
  22. What about Buddhism and the Rohingya. Is Buddhism a religion as well or do the Rohingya deserve to be raped, slaughtered and ethnically cleansed?
  23. "Trump campaign’s communications director asserted on Friday that the reason some migrant families separated by the administration at the U.S. border have not been reunited is because the parents do not want their children back. ....“You have to locate the parents and when they are located in these other countries in many cases, John, the parents do not want the children sent back to them in their home countries.” Imagine a new phrase inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. Instead of "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore". trump wrote "If climate change, drug gangs feeding America's drug needs and poverty drives you from your homelands. You can thank me for DHS seizing your children, forcing them into internment camps. Because I was the least racist president America ever elected"
