You have repeatedly crossed this line, Signym
Oh, you mean this

line, SECOND?
I honestly don't know what "line" you're talking about dood.
I worked hard, pay my taxes, take care as best I can of my family, don't smoke, rarely drink, don't steal, and even vote Democrat most of the time.
By those measures, I should be golden!
Or are you all tweaked about my signature, which has got to be just about the LEAST important thing about me?
You have a problem, SECOND.
You've spent HOW MANY (???) posts ranting and trying to insult me and SIX. I just consider the source, and think that an insult from you is like a badge of honor.
So ... Thanks, buddy!

Crossing the line? Are you kidding me?
I've archived so many assassination fantasies, calls for assassination, threats against other members here and suggestions that they kill themselves out of Second that I stopped bothering archiving them. They've become trite at this point, just like all 3 of his regular personal insults he'll hurl out on a daily basis when he's being destroyed by facts.
Neither Ted nor Second have spent a single second of their lives engaging in any form of self-reflection.
They are completely oblivious to how evil they have become.

Somebody ask Mamdani this question for me...
Now he's going to tell you the answer is 67, but I assure you this is wrong.

Quote:6ix, if Indiana is anything like the areas in Texas where Trumptards are the dominant faction, I'm guessing your associates are a bunch of fucking liars, rapists, and Nazis. In any Trumptardish society, there will be almost nothing but liars, rapists and Nazis if you don't kill them, or at least threaten them, when they overtly display their habitual depravity. That is because Trumptards are fundamentally NOT honest, hardworking, truthful, smart, brave people. After all, Trump is not, either. Please, please don't claim that Trumptards are "good" since I'm around them all the time and Trumptards are "bad", which is why they complain about virtue signalling. Virtue makes Trumptards feel itchy because they are allergic to it.

Why are you littering theses boards with assassination plots, telling people that they should kill themselves and your desire to murder everyone you don't agree with everyday?

Lying has worked for Trump in the past. Is this a lie too far?

Well, whaddya know:
Trump now just as unpopular as Biden during inflation surge
Difference between the share of Americans who approve and disapprove of the way the president is handling "prices and inflation," percentage points.
Donald Trump continues to say that polls showing that Americans are unhappy about the economy are “fake.” But the blowout Democratic victories in last week’s elections may have given him a wakeup call. As the New York Times reported, Trump “has mentioned affordability as much in the last week as he has in the past nine months.”
But the Times went on to engage in some serious false equivalence:
Mr. Trump risks being in a similar position as his predecessor, defending his record by pointing to statistics that don’t capture a troubling reality that many Americans are feeling.
Sorry, but that’s a false comparison. You might even call it fake news — because Trump is not, in fact, pointing to any statistics. He’s just lying.
It is true that Biden officials liked to cite statistics that presented a favorable picture of the economy, but they were genuine statistics and did indeed seem to show an economy in pretty good shape.
Trump, by contrast, is engaged in what CNN calls a “lying spree” about inflation. We all know that many media organizations have long had a habit of “sanewashing” Trump, downplaying the craziness of his remarks. What we’re seeing now is “truthwashing,” pretending that there is some factual justification for bald-faced lies.
Let’s talk for a minute about what happened under Biden, then turn to Trump’s pants-on-fire claims about prices.
Biden officials never denied that there was a surge in inflation during 2021 and 2022. They did, however, claim that the surge was transitory. “Transitory” turned out to be much longer than they (and the Federal Reserve) initially predicted, but the surge was nonetheless temporary: Inflation peaked in mid-2022, then fell rapidly over the next 2 years. And this disinflation, defying the predictions of many economists, took place without a recession.
Biden’s people also never denied that prices were higher than they had been before the pandemic. But they said, correctly, that wages had risen even more, so that most workers’ purchasing power was higher despite the rise in prices. In 2024, Biden declared that “we’re proving that we can bring down inflation while safeguarding hard-won gains in jobs and real wages in American workers.” This was a completely truthful claim.

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump promised Americans $2,000 each from the "trillions of dollars" in tariff revenue he said his administration has collected.
"People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!," Trump said in a Nov. 9 Truth Social post. "We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion."
How seriously should people take his pledge?

Tax breaks in President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” will primarily benefit high-net-worth individuals and those with high incomes. But what is the definition of "wealthy"? Zane Sanchez, a tax manager with the accounting and business advisory firm Snyder Cohn, says it could be considered anyone making more than $200,000 or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. "That's around the point where a lot of these provisions start to kick in."
Below is a look at six key provisions in the bill that largely favor upper-income individuals and families:

Donald Trump Is a Lamer Duck Than Ever
Even though he doesn’t want you to think so
By Mark Leibovich | November 12, 2025, 10:16 AM ET

For a president who wants to project vigor and command at all times, Donald Trump made the worst possible spectacle of himself in the Oval Office last Thursday.
It came in the form of two images captured during a press event to announce cheaper weight-loss drugs. The first materialized when a participant fainted and several officials on hand rushed over. Not Trump, however, who, after turning to look at the fallen man, stood a few feet away at the Resolute Desk with his back to the action, wearing an indifferent expression. This was pointedly reflected in news photos that instantly went viral.
The second image, less noticed but possibly more damning, was memorialized just beforehand: As Mehmet Oz, the administration’s head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, delivered remarks, Trump appeared to be nodding off at his desk. The Washington Post, in keeping with its dogged Watergate-era traditions, undertook a thorough “analysis of multiple video feeds” and confirmed that, indeed, the 79-year-old president had “spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open.”
“He put his hand on his temple,” the Post investigation concluded. “He slouched in his chair.”
The White House denied that the president had been asleep, echoing Trump’s past sensitivities toward perceived somnolence. But there was something else going on here. The administration has sought to portray Trump as the main driver of all events at all times—potent, essential, and fully engaged. If there has been one unified message coming out of this White House, it’s been that of a presidency in perpetual motion. Yet Trump has looked much less daunting and invincible in recent days. He has been criticized for appearing checked out and oblivious to the economic hardships facing Americans, a sentiment reinforced by voters last Tuesday. Above all, Trump, who is not eligible to run for reelection in 2028—at least that’s what some people think—is loath to be seen as a lame duck. And yet, he is a lamer duck now than he was just a short while ago.
Last week was rough for Trump in that regard. Republicans suffered election routs in the Virginia and New Jersey governor’s races, as well as in a statewide ballot initiative pushed by California Governor Gavin Newsom. It wasn’t only that Democrats prevailed by massive margins or that the results confirmed that Trump’s second-term act was playing terribly with a critical mass of Americans, including many of those who’d voted for him. The GOP’s losses suddenly made Trump look vulnerable. By my informal estimation (without the benefit of “multiple video feeds”), “lame duck” was applied more often to Trump last week than in any prior stretch of his second term.
“Donald Trump Enters His Lame Duck Era,” declared one post-election headline in Politico. The accompanying article cataloged recent signs of Republican defiance of Trump. It led with a scene in which the president summoned Senate Republicans to the White House and demanded that they eliminate the filibuster. “Upon returning to the Capitol, the senators made it very clear: they planned to blow Trump off,” according to Politico. (Mike Rounds of South Dakota apparently “laughed out loud.”)
No officeholder welcomes being labeled a lame duck. From its earliest adoption, the phrase has never been meant as a term of flattery. Senator Lazarus Powell of Kentucky is credited with the first political usage, in 1863, when he described the U.S. Court of Claims as “a receptacle of ‘lame ducks’ or broken down politicians.” Over time, lame duck evolved into more of a time marker, referring to an elected official completing their final phase in office.
That’s the clinical definition, at least. But lame duck also carries deeper connotations of diminishing cachet, relating to a leader’s lost status and creeping

Oh yeah?
Then why did the Democrats cave exactly when I told you they would?
They sure aren't playing like they've got a winning hand.
