I have one thing to say about this fucking ballroom. And that is, if it should ever be built, or if it is under construction, when this regime leaves power, the next Democratic president needs to have it demolished. Knocked down, blown up, whatever it takes, it must be destroyed. Completely, utterly.
OR it could be repurposed to something useful and symbolic, such as a homeless shelter, or perhaps an Immigration center to help people transition into the US, with a path to citizenship...
Let the ugliness of it be a reminder to the nation of what happened under Trump, Trump will become the part of our history, like WW2 was for Germany, to shape them going forward.
Don't erase the ugly history, embrace it as a lesson. With it used for a humble purpose it tells a strong story that we should never forget.
I like your thoughts! However, this monstrosity just cannot be left standing. If it’s built like it’s been shown, it will overshadow the White House, which is unacceptable. And I still have a problem with anything that could possibly be left with the motherfucker’s stain on it, though I do applaud your ideas.
This whole thing is bs! It's really unbelievable how sick djt is. That he would fake this sh!t, what, 2 or 3 times now,to get his way. This 🍊, big back biff" is a lunatic. Which makes him very dangerous as we've already seen. Who stages a false attempt on their own life?
He must be stopped before his illegal war falls on American soil.. It's very apparent "Iran " is not backing down.. Good for them
Cannot like this post enough. Pitch perfect. Two things to add:
1) I'd say the vast majority of politicians in the Dem party (and true Indy's) want to improve people's lives. There's just a difference within the party on how best to do it.
2) It's now totally obvious that Trump's first term was completely predicated on coasting on Obama's economy. The only meaningful thing Trump did was pass a huge tax cut for mainly ultra-wealthy folks. He really didn't have to do anything except perform. This time around, people elected him to actually do something. And he did (a lot-- tariffs, war, spending bill). And look at what has happened. Utter incompetence revealed in full.
The best thing that can possibly come out of this is that people will not fall for someone who is all performance, no substance, again.
Just to add, while his department choices were not great in his first term, they were mostly competent and had a shred of integrity (which usually caused them to quit or be fired). This time through, absolute loyalty and obedience to Trump is his primary requirement, and with Trump being grossly incomeptent and corrupt, so are they.
Personally, I think you're being far too kind to Trump and the rich, white, and religious people that support him, and far to unkind to Mr. Biden, who was able to fix a good deal of what Trump wrecked in his last administration, not to mention, the global problems caused by the pandemic.
From my point of view, what Trump has proven is that the American people are gullible, lazy, stupid, and entitled. Fully 1/3 of this country still supports this half of a man. And from my point of view again, I don't think that they're going to change their minds about this no matter what he does.
My personal bet is his core base is closer to 25%, and that after he is no longer in office, disgraced etc... even fewer will admit to liking him after a few years. Yeah, 25% actually like his hate based agenda. The other 8% are just too stupid, tuned out, or being deeply Republican is too central to their identity for them to be able to think coherently on the subject. On second thought, just consider them too stupid.
Those that are stupidly, shortsightedly greedy are not necessarily full of hate, but while their money does spread a lot of hate, they are a relatively small number of people that do not understand how economies work in the long run. Even they may be starting to wake up to realize that being rich in a hellscape is not as fun as they thought it would be. No, we are not yet in hellscape mode, but it is getting easier every month to visualizing that as a potential future.
I think Trump will do an excellent job of causing more of that 33% to shift away from him in the months to come. It happens slowly, first he reduces their motivation to follow him, then he attacks other key parts of their identity, then he makes them more miserable and hopeless, then he does something they just cannot stomach... It's a process that takes time, until you get down to those who either want it all to just burn, or they are so filled with hate that they cannot see past that to any other motivation in life.
Agreed, 100%. Which is why the orange motherfucker is in office for the second time. It’s sad to realize that that many people in this country are brain dead or stupid or filled with hatred, never to be rectified. They are beyond hope, and frankly, I am embarrassed to live in this country any longer.
Well stated….and if he stops our elections it will only get worse-I dont know perhaps we need to play the game till we take him out! (By voting of course :)
I think it was more a comment on how people were struggling with high prices, regardless of the cause, and they blamed Biden-Harris. Really, the only reason Trump won was that people were pissed about 5% average YOY inflation. If inflation had been 3% per year average over Biden's term, he or Harris would have won re-election. Probably easily, IMO. Biden did a lot of good things, but inflation and his flub on border security overshadowed it all.
I do agree, but I also think there is a deep feeling common throughout the working class, including the working poor, that our 'ongoing industrial revolution' including AI and robotics is going to create a country where fewer and fewer people will have jobs with living wages, and that there will be very few 'safe' jobs inside of 20 years, at this rate.
In our economy, if you do not have a job, you 'disappear' and are simply removed from the economy, like one of the losing players in the game of Monopoly. Which by the way, removes another part of the income to the remaining players.
Fewer customers means fewer products made, and fewer services rendered. While we are 'more productive' than ever, we end up with less and less every year.
Consider what is the 'end game' of Monopoly, after the rich guy wins, and there are no other players...?
The broad consensus among serious economists across the political spectrum is that Trump didn't cause the inflation that happened during Biden's term. It may have been a very minor contributor, but not a major one.
And if you're going to attribute inflation to the $800/person stimulus that passed during Trump, you then also must attribute it to the $1200/person stimulus that passed during Biden.
If you're going to attribute inflation to Trump's deficit-blowing tax cut, that happened four and a half years before inflation started to substantially rise. Almost all serious economists think that time lag is way too long, and the magnitude of inflation was way too high to be deficit-related.
Pent up demand from COVID exposed supply chain vulnerabilities, which led to a shortage of supply and snarled logistics chains, which caused prices to rise. Additionally, people were holding out for higher wages after COVID, and when wages rose to fill jobs that came back after COVID, that also caused a correspondng increase in prices. Finally, Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused a shock to everything from oil, to natural gas, to food, prices.
I never said Biden's policies necessarily caused inflation, but I am saying that people were not happy with it, and bought into Trump's BS that he would lower prices.
You are mistaken about Trump's stimulus. There were two: The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, provided $1200 and the relief package passed in December of 2020 provided $600. The inflationary spiral he caused was related to pressuring the Fed to keep interest rates too low for too long in an effort to artificially stimulate the economy. This caused an explosion in housing prices. He also increased the money supply (M2) by 45%. Both caused inflation. In contrast, Biden's M2 increase was 10%.
Trump also terribly mismanaged the Covid pandemic.. I shudder to think what would have happened had Biden not been elected. You are absolutely correct that people, especially Maga, were very unhappy with Biden. I am not one of them. I'm hoping history will be kinder to him.
You are correct about the Trump-era stimulus. I am mistaken. You described the CARES act correctly, and I did not. The ARP stimulus was $1400/person in March 2021. But the impact of ARP was likely more inflationary because the economy was already recovering.
Please see this, from Claude.ai (the question is included). Trump's policies were a factor, but not the dominant one. The point about interest rates affecting housing prices is probably the most impactful. However, the Fed kept interest rates low during Biden's term, also, until inflation spiked. Even with high(er) interest rates, housing prices remained elevated.
The 2022–2023 inflation was primarily caused by the unprecedented economic disruption of COVID-19, the combined fiscal response of both the Trump and Biden administrations (with Biden-era spending being the larger contributor during the inflationary period), supply chain breakdowns, the Ukraine war's energy shock, and pre-existing housing shortages. Attributing it primarily or solely to Trump's 2017–2020 policies doesn't align with the mainstream economic evidence — but neither is Trump's administration entirely without responsibility, given the CARES Act spending in 2020. It was genuinely a multi-causal, cross-administration phenomenon."
Also, please see this summary from Claude.ai about the point about interest rates and housing prices.
"In short: low interest rates were a major cause of the pandemic-era housing price spike by dramatically boosting demand. But housing prices have proven sticky even as rates rose, because low-rate homeowners stopped selling, constraining supply further. It's a classic case where a single lever (interest rates) has complicated, sometimes contradictory effects on a market."
As for mismanaging COVID, no argument there. Trump botched it by lying, flip-flopping, and ignoring basic economics and science. However, other countries that had extremely competent leadership, like Germany, UK, Japan, still had high inflation.
Monetary policy across administrations seems to be the main factor.
The funny part of this is that FINALLY Trump is going to congress to authorize the building of the bloody ballroom.Now comes the part where Republicans need to VOTE on the bloody ballroom. Got to love that vote in an election year. And you have to KNOW the Ballroom will be designated the Trump Ballroom, because...
We could argue endlessly about the bunker - I mean ballroom - or, the poorly planned security for this event, or the nonstop rudeness spewed at O'Donnell, or the insane war with Iran, nonstop gun violence and refusal to truly address it, the alienation and shsky mental health of of young AND OLDER mean, and so on. The structural issues remain: an ineffective and corrupt Congress, Executive and Judicial branches of the US government that allow the perpetuation of all that's wrong. "Troubled" young men don't come from nowhere. Farmers' stubborn loyalty to a president who frankly loathes them and lies to them, while loving agri-big businesses that are poisoning our soil and air. Addressing and redirecting this country's ills will take, well, I'm not sure what and for how long. But I'll bet it's huge and kinda ugly and angry, like recognizing a metastatic cancer needing complex treatments, no small task. A change in government will reveal some of the problems; how to address the oligarchs clearly in power?
I will NEVER understand, as long as I live, what Trump’s supporters & sycophants see in him! What do they get out of enabling & defending his indefensible behavior? How do they justify helping him destroy this country & harm the entire world? These people must be as sick & twisted as he is . . . and there are millions of them! 🥺😢
I worked union jobs for years and every place I worked the majority of the workers were the ones paid the lest and new contracts never favored them. I always wondered why they didn't use the power the majority gave them. The people in this country that are struggling the most are the majority but many of them, rural, small towns, red states, vote for the very people who refuse to do anything to make their lives easier. I just don't understand it. The only thing that makes sense is they're all just really, really stupid.

Welcome!! There are some really good folks on Substack (as you've found out by now). Mike Nellis might be the best, along with my favs Dan Pfieffer and Simon Rosenberg. Enjoy the platform!
In a related item (Trump's gov't doing nothing to improve anyone's life, but focusing on complete personal BS), James Comey was indicted a second time by the DOJ. Now, I'm 100% against frivolous indictments and using the gov't for political retribution. But, I do think it's too deliciously ironic that Comey has been indicted a second time after the first indictment was dismissed, just like when he raked Hillary over the coals frivolously for her e-mails initially, only to have most people get over it, but then went after her again by making the re-opening of the investigation public just two weeks before the election. It's Shakespearian!
