Hey, Marisa, why don't you look into this guy? He seems really bad and he's an actual elected House member.
Hey, Tom, are you going to give this guy the Platner treatment because he actually sounds a lot worse. In fact there at least a half-dozen Republicans running who sound worse than Platner.
In a fight to the death, my money's on Mahmood because Miliband's suit is too tight.
The Biden Administration was excellent for the bottom 20%. The best since the Sixties.
He was bleeding from a couple of other scratches. I'd like to hear his explanation for those.
Then why are job openings as low as they were during the COVID recession and why is the employment-population ratio the lowest since 2021?
I prefer this image. Lee is wearing a new, tailored uniform. Grant is wearing a private's uniform that has had stars hurriedly sewn into the shoulders. Lee's boots are gleaming but Grant's boots are muddy because he has just returned from hunting down the last remnants of Lee's army.
This was my biggest complaint with the Lefties in 2016. Even if they didn't Clinton, they should vote for her to prevent the Republicans from controlling SCOTUS, but they were too pure too vote this way.
Top marginal tax rates have never come close to returning to where they were in '82, which was after Reagan's first round of huge tax cuts for the rich.
In his first administration, Trump gave us the highest unemployment rate since Hoover. President Biden created jobs at a faster rate than any president since FDR. In 2024 Americans wanted Hoover over FDR.
I see they're trying to cast James Bond again. My mother always said that James Bond should look like Ian Fleming.
Don't make me defend Jimmy Carter, but annual job gains were better under him than under any Republican president since WW2. And, of course, Joe Biden was in a whole other universe, but who gives a crap about jobs?
Literally zero job growth, median wages grew under Biden but have been flat under Trump, 7% inflation for the last three months annualized), GDP growth below 2%. The stock market "boom" (America had the worst performing stock market of any advanced economy last year) is built on the AI Bubble.
Whenever I see Mike Johnson talking, I, some reason, remember what Sinclair Lewis said.
He died on February 3, 1959 in the same plane crash that killed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper (the day the music died). Another photo.
Even with the war, the rig count is flat and half of what it was in 2019. Even the energy companies know that oil is not the future.
How did we get 2% GDP growth (mediocre) in the first quarter when all the components were below 2%, with consumption, the biggest component, at 1%?
