US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

I’ll take that as a yes then. Are we ignoring the rise in input costs as well?

on top of 12 months of contraction of the manufacturing industry, you’ve had:
$2trn added to the national debt 
Zero job growth 
record level of personal debt
highest credit card defaults since 2008
persistent inflation and cost of living increases 
highest level of auto loan defaults since 2008
highest level of bankruptcies in 15 years

and the lowest approval rating of any president on record 
Not quite, we have Manufacturing printing at 52.6 
Private sector jobs at 170,000
Job numbers of 130,000 when you back out the cull in Gov’t jobs.
Stock market at an all time high!
Cap Ex booming!
GDP taking off…… Blue sky Baby!

The Golden years! Your shrinking!
One month doesn’t make a trend. And a one month bump in healthcare jobs isn’t a booming economy. Quite the opposite.
I agree one month does not make a trend but It’s a great start. We’ll see what February numbers say. I reckon by April you’ll pull a Cappy.

if it’s one month with a tiny increase in jobs and orders after 12 months of continuous contraction then don’t waste my time.

maybe rapists should get the death penalty as well.

2025 revised down massively (dont be shocked to see this revised down).

manufacturing flat
retail flat
prof services flat
Everyone but you understands Trump slashed Gov’t Jobs has deported millions of illegals and shut down US dependence on China. He has completely changed the US economic landscape by putting American workers first, look at wage growth and Jobs created for US citizens. 

The sectors that are flat are about to explode this year with Tax cuts now kicking in and Cap ex exploding. Companies get Tarriff relief and Tax relief if they build their plants and factories in the USA. To think that won’t create jobs this year is too retarded to take seriously.

Just wait till we add a new Fed chair and have an accommodating Fed, You’ll go the way of Cappy and Pickle. 
The jobs growth was pretty much zero in 2025 so let’s not pretend.

The rest is just speculation. The growth in personal debt and erosion of savings suggests the tax relief will be spent elsewhere.

The latest data proves that Powell was 100% correct in his actions, no matter how much pressure the orange rapist puts on him.
“The rest is just speculation” LOL says the idiot who is playing the long game.

Give It a rest ffs!  You’re embarassing yourself!

Only 74% fuckwits on WHO? , I’d have thought it would be more judging by the state of the UK right now.

Funny thing is none of you know the first thing about Trump, you’ve been fed left wing propaganda for far too long and you’re all so addicted to it.

BBC is one example of how they deliberately edited footage of Trump to completely make up a false narrative. The Russian collusion hoax, Hunters Laptop top, The Epstein files, All complete lies about Trump.

Yet the UK is on the verge of a civil war. 

Here is a member of the Republican Party Josh Hawley asking all the right questions after DOGE exposed the Dirty Dems NGO and USAID secret.

And they say Ignorance is bliss.

Oh you’ve got the nerve to show up today. I admire your foolish pride.

I guess we won’t be discussing the Epstein files today.

And I’m sure you’ll swerve the UK politic thread too.

So what petty nonsense are you banging on about now?
I think you're getting yourself confused. What have i posted about the epstein files?

I'm happy to let you bounce around from thread to thread playing out your midlife crisis. Or you can explain such a weak retail sales number in the biggest month of the year.
