    In 2020 Trump was warning electing Biden would lead to a market crash. And I recall his supporters parroting that line in those useless “man on the street segments” leading up to Election Day.

    Now in 2024 he is saying the EXACT same thing. So if you are a Trump voter, the only question is how big of a useful idiot are you?

    He meant he was at recess and will be at recess soon again, but we refuse to acknowledge that it's recess. But what he doesn't realize is that you don't get recess in high school.

    Sorry, @Steal Your Face . No recess for you.

    yeah... i'd have gone more with "don' ya'' be bringin' nunya fayncee dimocret mayth in heah boi. "nem g'dole gee uh pee bahs sayed t'conmee wuz fuckered..."


    hooked on fonix aside... what is it with folks in the NE quadrant adding an "R" in the middle of saying "water"? a couple of the YT channels I watch, the presenters all say "wort-err".

    Think it has to do with the small a sound. I’ve heard “wash” pronounced “wash”. And NEterners not only add Rs where they don’t belong, but they remove them where they do belong - like a caw and pawk.

    Speaking of posing a question:

    Do you acknowledge that you were basing your contention on estimates that were later revised upwards and that under no definition were we in nor are we currently in a recession?

    it posed as a question, perhaps.

    you regurgitated the Mises caucus claim, said that you agreed, then asked what folks thought-essentially a "prove me wrong".

    pretty sure that doesn't count as a question.

    I think it is pretty clear that even if there is an eventual recession, it is not due to the causes they boy wanted to claim it was. But when the only talent you have is regurgitating right wing talking points from people far more intelligent than you, but less intelligent than a mentally disturbed yak with learning disabilities, you really never had a chance anyway.

    It must be boring working at that subway where he is.

    At least data is involved.

    With your posts, data is in the corner whilst Tasha flicks herself off to nude deepfakes of Troi.

    He mindlessly parrots jargon-words, because he thinks that's what we're all doing.
    Its the Mad Libs approach to argument.

    You asked the question. According to the same metrics that we're used when Trump was in office we are not. Satisfied? :corn:
