  1. You are confusing the stock market with the economy https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate what Ohh OK. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/job-openings-creep-up-to-9-6-million-still-lots-of-demand-for-labor-7771c66a
  2. Really? https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi
  3. I believe that's the case. I wonder why. It seems to be very successful elsewhere.
  4. Recently someone told me that I don't like Jews. I said that he had called me an anti-semite. He claimed that calling me someone who dislikes Jews is not the same as calling someone an anti-Semite. At any rate, not just Ramaswamy, but several other Republican candidates have called for US armed faces to take action against drug dealers in Mexico. This seems like lunacy to me.
  5. Here's how health insurance costs have increased over the last 20 years https://www.kff.org/report-section/ehbs-2022-summary-of-findings/ I don't see any evidence of a surge in costs since Obamacare was implemented.
  6. Sure. The one where Trump refused to turn documents over to the National Archives when they were requested was already a clear violation of the law. Despite which, rather than call in the Justice Dept the National Archives negotiated with Trump and his lawyers for months. He was treated far more indulgently than he had any right to expect. It was only when the National Archives had reason to believe that Trump had lied when he claimed he had turned over all the documents, and, what's worse, that he had retained classified documents, did the National Archives call in the Justice Dept.
  7. Gogoro’s latest move to roll out thousands of new battery swapping stations Battery-swapping leader Gogoro has just inked a new deal to see thousands of new battery-swapping GoStations added to the company’s existing force of swap stations already operating around Asia and the Middle East. The announcement is part of a Memorandum of Understanding with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL), a prominent Indian oil company with over 21,000 retail outlets... Gogoro’s existing network of thousands of battery-swapping stations spread across over a half dozen countries allows users to quickly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones, facilitating more convenient and efficient urban transportation. https://electrek.co/2023/11/06/gogoros-hpcl-thousands-of-battery-swapping-stations/
  8. Here's a link to an article about advice from a lawyer who once deposed Trump. Her major piece of advice is to let him talk. She also noted that he was absurdly responsive to flattery. And that he was completely unprepared for the deposition. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/11/06/tips-questioning-trump-under-oath-00125439 She Tangled with Trump in a Deposition. Here’s Her Strategy When He’s Under Oath. “Just let him talk. I got exactly what I wanted by letting him talk.” https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/11/06/tips-questioning-trump-under-oath-00125439
  9. What don't you understand that virtually the entire was afflicted with inflation following the covid pandemic? Is that Joe Biden's fault? Or that the United States is doing far better than the other major economically developed nations an most of the lesser ones too? If you're claiming that the inflation is Biden's fault, then shouldn't he get credit for the faster pace of the recovery, too? The only major nation that isn't suffering from inflation is China and their economy is a mess.
  10. More nonsensical claims. Please, share with us a video that shows her cackling. Interesting how this anti-woman bigotry creates fiction.
  11. Vivek Ramaswamy Explains ‘Morally Justified’ Plan To Invade Mexico If It Doesn’t Stop Drug Cartels: ‘Shoot That Dog’ https://www.mediaite.com/politics/vivek-ramaswamy-explains-morally-justified-plan-to-invade-mexico-if-it-doesnt-stop-drug-cartels-shoot-that-dog/ GOP Calls to Invade Mexico Are More Than Just a Political Stunt https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/us-border-crisis-mexico/
  12. Well that's true. Recently there was Jean-Marie Le Pen and his Nationalist Party. An, of course, to go a lot further back, the Dreyfus case. But, that said, the fact is that anti-semitic beliefs are now rife in most of the Muslim world and that fact has to be faced.
  13. This is coming from the party who claimed that the Guardian is Marxist because it had a Marxist columnist. Yes, some on the left are anti-semitic. But all? Most? Got any evidence for that?
  14. Well, he wasn't proposing that US troops take a vacation in Cancun.
  15. An ominous poll for Democrats, and what it says about a Biden alternative The poll shows Biden trailing Trump by four percentage points in key swing states, but an unnamed Democrat leading by eight https://archive.ph/qWnAS https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/06/an-ominous-poll-democrats-what-it-says-about-biden-alternative/
  16. I've looked at youtube videos and have seen no evidence of screeching. And now you're imagining her in a situation where "she would bitch at her husband'? Not complaining to political associates and such but bitching to her husband. It's like you're purposely engaging in a parody of yourself.
  17. This comment shows how deeply ingrained sexism is among the right wing. Kamala Harris would be screeching? And why the mention of "household"? Because a woman's place is in the home and that's where you imagine her spending her time?
  18. And the point you missed is a tad obvious...but "to each their own."
  19. Maybe to him, the innocents are the newly armed settlers on the West Bank. He and his government certainly are taking a hands off attitude towards them. Over 120 Palestians killed, most of them murdered, and as far as I know, 800 at least forcibley evicted from their homes, and the government hasn't issued a word of condemnation.
  20. Given that the only time you don't reply is when you're flummoxed, I do have the impression that you need to get the last word in. Not saying that I don't suffer from that condition myself. Well, their own respective leaderships know that if they were to offer the Israelis something first, their futures, if not their lives, would be endangered. They tread very carefully.
  21. Is your link finger paralyzed? https://thehill.com/people/david-axelrod/
  22. The thing is, accountants don't make up figures out of thin air. They rely on the figures provided by their clients.
  23. I'm sure that to you your comment is not a non-sequitur.
  24. Thank you for your Pavlovian response. Evidence?
