    It's just crazy how shameless these people are @El_Conquistador. They sincerely don't view lying as a sin. They know private sector jobs are tanking at the fastest rate in decades but they'll lie anyways. They have zero shame

    on the heels of this economic slap-in-the-face,
    16 months in to Trump 2.0, Oil prices surged again Friday to top $90 a barrel,
    their highest price since 2023


    Between the oil price increases and a weak update on the U.S. job market, stocks tumbled BIGLY again Friday.
    These two factors raised fears of stagflation, a stagnating economy combined with high inflation.
    It is very difficult to fix both of those economic calamitiess at the same time.​

    the stocks will touch the floor ,so is 401k retirements ,prices may double etc; it's so obvious by now

    but those with substantial wealth used the past 6 months to Exit


    top .001% wealth will balloon further
    and lower 80% will struggle to bring food to the table

    Thank Trump for all the pain to come. Whether it's the cost of living, gas prices, and healthcare costs, it's on him. He is so busy waging war. revenge, tariffs threats, and starting wars all around the world, that when he does focus on your needs, it's not happening.

    His focus is on:

    Revenge against his political opponents
    Spewing his election lies propaganda non-stop
    Inserting loyalists to do his bidding
    Fundraising, fundraising, and fundraising
    Attacking the media and reporters
    Denying his involvement with Epstein
    Golfing and doing tit for tat pardons and favors
    Enriching himself and his family
    Putting his name and face on everything
    Taking over other countries
    His big beautiful ballroom
    Tooting his horn
    Lying, denying, and taking no responsibility for his failures, and taking credit for others' accomplishments

    Oil touched $110 this morning looks like at about $100 now. Gas jumped this weekend to 2.99 whereas the weekend before I paid $2.39.

    Quick Google search shows a week ago the national average was under $3 and now it’s $3.50.

    But at least the Dow is over 50,000!!!

    That's so disgusting. Again, serving the rich and screwing the average American. I honestly don't know how MAGA supporters continue to see this sh*t happen, and still believe Trump is going to make their lives better. Boy did he fool them with his snake oil salesman speeches.

    It all makes sense once you realize Livenation donated half a million to the trump regime. Trump has no loyalty other than to money. He'd sell out his own kids for the right price.

    Whenever a MAGA cuck @K9Texan @Space Ghost tries gas lighting you about small government it's your duty to bully them

    That's a fact. Everyone is expendable in Trump's sick mind when it comes to covering his lying ass. He would never in a million years put himself in front of his kids to protect them from danger either. I still think Ivanka is holding secrets of being molested by dear daddy. Their creepy relationship has served her well financially though.
