We do not recognize the authority of an institution that denied inflation was even taking place for a full year and would have officially declared a recession a recession at any point in time during the last 2 years had somebody else been sitting in the oval office at the time. The stats that they use to come up with their declarations can be moved around and changed to say whatever they want them to say, and we have no actual access to any of their current and historical models to compare against each other. You are meant to just trust their readings of the data. Those days of blind faith in our government are long dead. That faith in government has been dying for generations and the Covid debacle was the final nail in that coffin.
Remember that it will be the "Strong" short-term and long-term economy being the number one reason why Harris will lose, and why the Democrats have lost a record number of black, Latino and union voters in 2024.
USA Today: Inflation-shocked low- and middle-income Americans may not spend normally for years

Putting “fun” back into low- and middle-income Americans’ budgets could be years away with most of their income barely covering the surge in costs for bare necessities, economists said.
Even with annual inflation last month cooling to the lowest level since February 2021 and wages rising faster than inflation, low- and middle-income Americans are just barely covering their essentials, which include groceries, shelter, utilities and gasoline, economists say.
That’s because when inflation slows, it only means prices aren't rising as quickly, not that prices are declining. So, Americans continue to pay higher prices for everyday needs.
Low- and middle-income Americans were hit disproportionately harder than their higher-income peers because essentials account for a larger share of their budgets, and their discretionary spending, or spending on nonessential items like dining out, vacations and entertainment, is only just recovering, economists say.
“For a very large share of Americans, the bottom 60% are spending more on essentials than before the pandemic,” said Michael Pearce, Oxford Economics deputy chief U.S. economist. “The burden is hardest among the lowest income but also touches middle income. Spending patterns of low-income Americans will take years to recover.”
Also... This is one of the two main reasons why Hollywood is currently failing. Not the fact that you finally figured out how to pirate movies now and I knew how to pirate movies back in 2000.

Some of that the Legacy Media like CNN even admits these things now as it finally starts asking Harris hard questions and forcing her to answer them just two weeks before the election. I didn't think Anderson had it in him... and honestly, when the CIA starts opening the door for Trump like that I start questioning why they're all turning on Harris this late in the game and what their real plan here is.
Seriously.
Did you see that CNN town hall? Why was Anderson Cooper drilling Harris like that? I mean, of course, in a perfect world both sides should be drilled like that every time they're in front of a camera, but we know that only one person ever gets treated that way.
The way that Cooper handled Harris the entire night was not something that anybody expected, no matter where they lie on the political spectrum.
My question is, why? And especially why now, with less than 2 weeks to go after she's already been sliding 2 points in the polls and needs one good performance anywhere to stop the bleeding.
None of this is making you ask any questions?

I wonder how I knew that 6ixStringJack would claim the US is in recession? And would claim the officials are lying? Because that is standard operating procedure for Trump.

Oh. You wonder how you knew I'd say that, huh Nostradamus? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the fact that I've said it 2 dozen times over the last 3 years had something to do with those premonitions.

Google and Bing do and say a lot of things. Google and Bing also hide Trump positive news on the 10th page and stuff the front pages of their search results with pro-Democrat stuff.
Fuck Google and Bing.
That's not helping your argument.
And I'll ask you for a third time now...
Doesn't the way that Anderson Cooper handled Kamala Harris the other night make you ask yourself what the fuck is really going on?
I know that it was as shocking for you to watch it as it was for me. Perhaps even more so.

Likewise, I don't listen to a politician's promises. I listen to the people who already side with the politician. I know so many Trumptards and I won't buy anything they recommend because of who they are, which is on display all day long as they waste their own lives with their bad judgment. I can reliably depend on a Trumptard doing the wrong thing. That is why I do the opposite.

Yes. We know this.
You LOVE the fact that Dick and Liz Cheney, the Bush family, John Bolton, Mitt Romney and 250 other NeoCon trash is voting for Harris because you're a warmongering NeoCon prick like the entire lot of them.
Meanwhile, I'm over here on the other side with RFK, Tulsi Gabbard and a record number of black, Latino, and Union voters that are about to hand the Democrat Party the largest loss they've ever seen in a majority of living American's lifetimes*.

* According to CNN the majority of Americans were under 40 years old as of 2020:

The 100 Worst Things Trump Has Done
https://newrepublic.com/article/187252/trump-100-worst-things-list-201
5-2024
Samples from the list:
97. Greenland With Envy
We can’t believe we have to explain this, but Greenland is neither a private island nor up for sale. At 836,330 square miles, it is the biggest island in the world, one that exists within the Kingdom of Denmark but which is also largely autonomous. Nonetheless, President Trump was obsessed with the idea of buying Greenland. “I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously,” Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s prime minister, said in 2019. By that point in Trump’s delirious presidency, we Americans knew better.
2. A Pandemic of MAGA Stupidity
Where to start? On February 26, 2020, there were 15 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the United States that were related to travel or close contact to travelers in the U.S.—“and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero,” Trump promised. From February to the end of October, he would make similar promises at least 37 more times. He also suggested injecting bleach to kill the virus, or hitting “the body with a tremendous … ultraviolet or just very powerful light.” He expressed skepticism of masks. He admitted to journalist Bob Woodward that he knew Covid was “deadly stuff” but wanted to “play it down.” He held superspreader rallies that led to 30,000 more cases. By the time Trump left office in early 2021, the virus had killed more than 400,000 people in the U.S.—and 40 percent of those deaths, a major study later found, could have been prevented.—R.K.
1. A Day That Lives in Infamy—or So We Hope
President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, began, as his speeches often do, with a lie: “We have hundreds of thousands of people here.” He would also lie about the 2020 election, claiming there was massive fraud and that he didn’t lose. But on this day, such bluster would be the least of Trump’s offenses, as he ended his speech vowing to “fight like hell” and imploring the crowd to walk with him down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol—“to try and give [Republicans] the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.” The crowd obeyed, of course, and so began the first attempted coup in U.S. history, which would leave thousands traumatized, hundreds injured, and several dead. Never forget, truly.

Trump expands his list of "enemies from within" at Madison Square Garden rally
Trump pointed to political rivals, the press and an "amorphous" Them in a paranoid hometown stump speech

"We're running against something far bigger than Joe or Kamala, and far more powerful than them. It is a massive, vicious, crooked radical-left machine that runs today's Democrat party," he said, before diving briefly into a shadow government conspiracy. "They're just vessels for ... this amorphous group of people."
Trump again targeted the press, calling them "the real enemy of the people" while pointing them out in the crowd.
While Republicans have run cover for him, trying to distance the candidate from his words, Trump did suggest calling in the military on political dissenters after his election.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) forcefully defended Donald Trump’s vow to use the U.S. military against certain Americans, a group Trump has repeatedly labeled “the enemy from within.”
Across several television interviews that aired Sunday, Vance also dismissed former Trump White House chief of staff John F. Kelly’s warnings that the former president meets the definition of a fascist. Vance described Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general, as a “disgruntled employee.”
He also disputed former vice president Mike Pence’s contention that Trump forced him to choose between loyalty to the Constitution and loyalty to Trump himself.
In a contentious exchange with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Vance said he would support the deployment of troops against what he and Trump have described as “left-wing lunatics,” which he argued is what Trump meant by “the enemy from within.”
He contended that Trump didn’t mean to include Democratic lawmakers such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff in the group of Americans against whom he would use military force — even though the former president has repeatedly used the phrase “left-wing lunatics” to describe both of them. Schiff served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and Pelosi was a longtime House speaker.
Tapper read Vance a quote Trump gave during an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan that aired Friday, during which Trump said “an enemy from within” American politics poses a bigger danger to the country than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
In a separate interview on “Meet the Press,” Vance said he agreed with Trump’s remark to Rogan that people like Schiff and Pelosi pose a greater threat to the United States than Russia or China do.
“What he said — and I do agree with this — what he said is that the biggest threat we have in our country, it’s not a foreign adversary, because we can handle these guys,” Vance said.
