Is it a symptom of PTSD? It’s like I bet he hasn’t slept except when Don was speaking last night. Is he doing this all waking hours just talking like I do? There is no cure for this. I am sorry. Damn. 

Unless he was shot at the first day he came onto the political scene then no. This is pretty standard Trump rally fare.

It has always been about white people and old white people who are so afraid of a changing America that they cling to authoritarians to keep their slice of America the same.

I believe that the borders need to be secured and they need to be secured yesterday. No, I don’t believe in mass deportation

I don’t have to agree with everything that they say or do, and I hope you don’t agree with everything the left does either.

Standing with today’s GoP means standing with Putin. Never thought I’d see the GoP being Russia/Putin’s lap dog.

Repeat all that for China …

If Trump can win, he becomes very useless, even a hinderance to Vance / Putin / Xi

The stimulus was needed in 2020 when people were losing their jobs. Would we have seen inflation the following year without the stimulus, possibly, but there wasn’t a need for the additional stimulus in 2021. Adding $1.5 trillion to the money supply is going to cause inflationary pressure which with the the supply chain issues caused the worst inflation in over 40 years. The point is that the 2021 stimulus was a policy choice by Biden that was not needed at that time.

Explain global inflation.

Oh fuck.  Are you kidding?   At a nice restaurant (waiters in tuxes) they stay there 50 years.  

In my construction lending days, we financed a home for a waiter at a famous red-tablecloth restaurant in L.A.     He was making over 100k, and this was 20 years ago.  He said Mick and Keith were both big tippers.

Well, many of them become miserable and self-loathing people. Closeted homosexuals involved in politics often will try to take on such an "I ain't gay" stance that they come up with policies to punish homosexuals who are out in the open.

My junior high here in Dallas was named after him. It never made sense to me. He was a shitty general. He was from Kentucky. He got his men killed. His side lost. But hey we needed to stick a middle finger at all the black people who dared to want to live in Dallas in the 1950s. Thankfully, they removed that traitor's name.

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.

too low. 

Say you have 15 tables a night, 5 nights a week. Average tab $500.   That's $7,500 in tab. At 15%, that's 1,125 per night.   Say you tip-out 500 (you don't).  That's over 3 grand a week.  

[gmr548 16,617]

The media headlines are irresponsibly glossing over the countless lies, hour-long incoherent rant, and divisive rhetoric. The WSJ and CNN of all outlets seem to be making the best effort to report honestly, at least mentioning Trump's shift in tone. They just want to report on a supposed pivot. Barely anyone will have watched this speech - the WNBA outdrew the RNC last night - certainly not the whole thing, late as it went. People's impressions, to the degree that they have them, will be based on the media's characterization, and they appear eager to prop Trump up.
