    John King’s electoral map analysis was pretty fucking frightening. The only talking heads who are hammering Trump and touting the Dems record are on MSNBC. One guy said you gotta go after Trump with the same fervor you’re going after Biden… he then said… Trump is a convicted felon rapist and liar. Under Biden’s watch real wages up, inflation coming down (troph note - reality is it’s near target not just coming down), retirement accounts at all time highs, everyone is working, access to healthcare is better than it’s ever been, etc.

    CNN undecideds being interviewed are morons.

    48 weeks that’s $144k, but bad nights, and possible 5 tables 3 turns is a tad high for an average so $80-120k is probably the high side range for solid restaurants. I’d also add not sure what super high end restaurants like the French Laundry produce but the point is you can make more than teachers waiting tables (more bartending) and here’s a ridiculous tax break offered with no sound logic at all.

    Biden’s speeches are better than this shit. I get he’s gone but fuck.

    Sounds like Sunday before the Fourth of July in a Baptist church.

    Depends on the restaurant. You can easily make $50-60k as a professional waiter at a decent restaurant, you can make less and you can push $100k in the nicest restaurants. I have no issue with tax breaks for the poorer Americans but this has no logic.

    Dog whistles to southern confederacy heros.

    The stimulus wasn’t the primary driver. It was a factor but it’s not magically perfect by Trump and excessive by Biden. A deep dive really will show some wild shit that went on in the supply chain and radical changes in consumer behavior that were much bigger factors.

    We want to see Maddow talk smart stuff to us over here. Popcorn and wine are already depleted we have lesbian sads.

    I have him on ignore saw too many quoting him. Sorry I’ll stop.

    He’s a rambling wreck. When he’s looking straight ahead he’s off script.

    You need to read more about economics. If Biden was a part of it so was Trump but more importantly it was the vulnerability in inventory systems from “just in time” profit motivations leaving supply chains fucked when radical shifts occurred in both production and demand. There were flaws in the shipping industry and trucking industry too that exacerbated supply and demand. Fed slow response was a factor too. And stimulus was a factor but it was brewing from the summer after Covid through the end of lock downs from all of the above. And that’s why I don’t really think is appropriate to blame a president. But to say not trump his stimulus was perfect and all Biden is just moronic.

    The tip thing is nonsensical, I support tax breaks on lower income but that’s an ad hoc thing, do something comprehensive. Some waiters make more than teachers. It’s a silly promise without any logical.

    Nah bro. We are hostile toward hate, insurrectionists, and religious zealots who believe the country should be run by them, for them and only them.

    You cool with Trump telling republicans to block the border bill that would give the president extreme powers to close the border?
  17. troph
    Is he serious? Trump signed a $2 TRILLION covid bailout. Now I’m not actually blaming Trump for inflation, I actually think a pandemic of this seriousness was going to wreak economic havoc regardless, but is this guy serious? Blame Biden for inflation because of Covid bailouts? geez.
  18. troph
    not until he has time to take credit for inflation decreases, stock market rallies to all time highs, and low unemployment rates.
  19. troph
    that was kinda funny. it would be really funny if reality was different. I'd say so.
  20. troph
    all of them will say it. will all of them actually vote?
  21. troph
    to be fair, more than half the country won't vote no matter what. they are allowed to have opinions too.
  22. troph
    I think you underestimate the anti-trump sentiment. we have soft Dems now who are Dems for anti-trump only. Think the former RNC chair, think the Lincoln Project. Anti-trump is the number one issue for men who will vote for the Dem nominee, regardless of their enthusiasm. For women it's no worse than second. Anti-trump is number 1, I'm 100% convinced of that.
  23. troph
    that's a bunch of horseshit. Trump's number one negative is he is a total piece of shit. His campaign is smart to try and soften his image. It's bullshit.
  24. troph
    not to go backward but this election for the Dems is two things (with the candidate third): 1. anti-trump 2. Dobbs/Project 2025 3. the candidate I didn't like the wildcard aspect of replacing Biden but hell, this thing will be won or lost on points 1 and 2 and I agree I think Harris will clean house with the women vote this time.

    I was posting about this topic and cringing hoping I wouldn't offend. I'm glad we are like-minded. I routinely turn down invites to all women things simply to avoid the nonsense. give me my queer people, guys or mixed company but all women, yeah I'm out.
