It's a good thing he's not the candidate. And that people (myself included) don't listen to him during his interviews. We listen to his guests. I'm a fan of his interviews and guest selection. But his laugh grates on my nerves. And he's slowly learning Rogan's formula... Ask a meaningful question and let your guests hang themselves. Or not.

No doubt. File that under "2 can play at that game".

I can think of a lot of his adversaries that should be praying for Trump to win next week. Because if he's president, he won't have as much spare time to sue the people who have defamed, attacked, and literally incited assassins to shoot at him. If they can sue $1 billion out of Alex Jones for hurt feelings, what's a bullet to the ear worth?

Easy for me. I live overseas now. I haven't bought a US tariffed item in years. But I have had my tax money transferred to graduates who won't pay their loans.

You mean like to poor who went to Ivy League Universities and got a useless degree, to the tune of $200K in debt?

As they must. But only if they choose to buy the stuff being "tariffed". Loan forgiveness, OTOH, is not discretionary. I can choose not to buy bananas or imported EVs. I cannot choose not to pay taxes. And again, I repeat... Tariff money goes into the treasury. That reduces the deficit. Loan forgiveness comes out of the treasury and increases the deficit. The $35 trillion deficit.

Is that you, Bob?

You are aware, of course, that tariffs go INTO the treasury and loan forgiveness comes OUT of the treasury? One is a redistribution of my wealth to other people (after I paid off my student loans), and is not discretionary on my part. Tariffs on imported food are a very discretionary issue. If bananas are too expensive, I don't buy them.

Let's start with buying votes with student loan forgiveness. Contrary to the USSC ruling... That's good for $175 billion. Given the GAF, I could easily find $trillions. Another round of forgiveness was announced Thursday, bringing the total amount of student loan cancellation to more than $175 billion for nearly 5 million people since President Joe Biden took office. That’s roughly equal to 11% of all outstanding federal student loan debt. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/17/politics/biden-student-loan-forgiveness/index.html

She was doing much better in the polls when she was hiding. But then she spoke... What's that old saying? Better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all their doubt... (I'm paraphrasing) Maybe Biden was onto something, campaigning from his basement.

That's nickel and dime stuff compared to the grift of the Bidens and the Clintons and the Dem Elite in general. That's costing us $trillions.

Uh Oh. Maybe not so remarkable... Bad news in the last week before the election. The U.S. economy lost 28,000 private sector jobs while the federal government added 40,000, BLS data shows. The October jobs report also saw employment gains in August and September be revised down by 81,000 and 31,000 U.S. economic growth in the third quarter of 2024 was weaker than expected, growing 2.8% — 0.2% below economist expectations. https://dailycaller.com/2024/11/01/private-sector-jobs-vanish-into-thin-air-while-feds-add-even-more-workers-to-payroll/

Yup. Listen to California politicians, elect a California Dem, and your city can become just like LA. Multiple arrests as Dodgers’ World Series victory brings burglaries, vandalism, fires in parts of L.A. But I'm sure it's mostly peaceful, and the looters will be out by breakfast. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-10-30/dodgers-fans-take-to-the-streets-to-celebrate-world-series-victory

Seems rather a desperate plea, begging to salvage half of a couple's votes. A more enthusiastic pitch would be for wifey pooh to convince hubby to pull the lever for Harris, too. But that's asking too much.

What facts? Your post was light on facts and heavy on election year forecasts. Which are about as reliable as election year promises. With no links, BTW. If you want your posts to be taken seriously, a little data would be in order.

Some personal experience from the cheap seats... I've used Miracid brand omeprazole in Thailand since 2011 and always found it easily available, pretty cheap and it always works consistently. I tried some other brands, and had to double up on the 20mg dosage to get the relief. (Not saying there aren't other good brands, but Miracid in the green box has always been my go-to in Thailand. Made by Berlin Pharmaceuticals, who have a museum in Chinatown).

What does that have to do with sending my tax money to another country and sowing division by supporting programs that are as popular as building synagogues in Riyadh would be? When we're $35T in debt and we have pressing, unfunded needs back home.

Projected by whom? The same buttwads that have been lying to us about the crime rate, jobs numbers and border security? Outside of the Covid years of 2020 and 2021, the Harris/Biden team added to the deficit at twice the rate of the Trump team. Past performance is no guaranty of future results. But it's a better indicator than some election year "projection" by a partisan MSM buttwad. Edit: "Buttwad" isn't a strong enough word. They're worse than that.

So post your own numbers. Here's the link where you can find them: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN/ You'll need this link for the last fiscal quarter of 2024 (preliminary numbers) https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2024-10/60730-MBR.pdf

The federal budget deficit was $1.8 trillion in fiscal year 2024, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2024-10/60730-MBR.pdf Conclusion: neither president has a good record on the debt and deficits, but the annual levels of red ink were twice as high under Biden. The average deficit was $800 billion under Trump and $1.6 trillion under Biden. That's leaving out 2020 and 2021, the Covid years. https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/biden-v-trump-on-deficits/ Factor in Harris claiming she didn't recall anything that she'd do differently, and what's $1.6 trillion x 4 more years of the same?

Did that forecast come from the same yobs who claimed inflation was transitory, Harris/Biden created 15 million jobs, had to revise the monthly job gains down 17 of the last 18 months, recently had to revise the violent crime figures to reflect the truth that violent crime did go up, told us for 3-1/2 years that Biden was sharp as a tack behind closed doors, and that the border was secure, nothing to see there? Because I don't believe them any more. They lost our trust. They can't even predict the past honestly.

Without even passing any judgment on transgenderism, it's divisive, and it's money not spent on our own needs at home. May as well fund building synagogues in Riyhad. It would be a similar waste, and make us just as many friends.

If you look away from that unfortunate pandemic thing, Harris/Biden have been piling on debt faster than Trump did. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN/

I don't have those statistics to hand, but I suspect it's not the ones on the dole who are leaving.

Meanwhile, here’s a Californian, Stanford professor Victor Davis Hanson explaining why Harris’s side are the actual fascists: Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era. Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier. In vast contrast, the Biden Justice Department coordinated with Georgia prosecutors Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump, bankrupt him and keep off the campaign trail. Currently, it is only the Democrats who seek to pack the court, destroy the Electoral College, end the Senate filibuster and create two new states and thus gain four left-wing senators. In key states, they radically changed voting laws. As a result, roughly 70 percent of voters in 2020 did not cast their ballots in person on Election Day — even as the traditional rejection rates for fraudulent ballots mysteriously dived amid the influx. They also protected sanctuary cities, as some 600 such jurisdictions illegally and with impunity nullified federal immigration laws in neo-Confederate fashion. So, Facebook and Twitter both conspired with the FBI to censure news accounts favorable to Trump. The major newspapers, social media corporations, television networks and public broadcasting systematically and continually attacked Trump, censured his supporters and fused with his opponents. https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/31/victor-davis-hanson-joy-kamala-harris-joe-mccarthy-donald-trump/
