caused prices to go up with idiotic tariffs

He actually campaigned on this. I'm older than 3 years old, so I remember this. But if you look at inflation since Trump's inauguration to today, it's roughly 2.5%. But it's been about 14 months, so let's give it some time to evaluate.

has caused the deaths of American citizens while stormtrooping American cities

"Stormtrooping" is enforcing immigration law. Deporting illegal aliens that he actually campaigned on doing! And those deaths, while tragic, would have been completely avoidable if they hadn't retardedly interfered with the valid deportation of illegal immigrants.

launched an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation that has destroyed American credibility and moral standing around the world

Oh no! Not our Moral standing around the world!

Oh wait, you mean the attacks that are systematically destroying the Iranian regime, dismantling their ability to exert power and influence in the Middle East, fucked up their Navy, turned their genocidal supreme leader into a pink mist? The attacks that have galvanized the Middle East against Iran and have Arab states taking up arms on the same side as Israel? Those attacks?

is mentioned more times in the Epstein files more than Jesus is in the Bible and has desperately blocked their release every step of the way

Wow, the President of the United States, the most controversial figure in the world from 2016 to today was mentioned thousands of times in benign emails? The President of the United States was accused (non credibly) by dozens of schizos in a way that the Biden DOJ decided was not credible enough to follow up on? Wow.

Some people don’t think anyone needs to “dominate” anyone else, let alone an entire hemisphere. There is a better way. The quest for dominance makes America weak, desperate and increasingly isolated to the rest of the world.

Actually yeah, we do need to exert our hegemony on the Western Hemisphere. Because in the real world, if we don't exert our dominance in the Western hemisphere, China does, and I actually want my government to exert it's power and influence in the Hemisphere to make my life better. If I wanted to live in a country that willingly castrated itself and its military in the name of politeness, I would move to the UK.

I never saw the whole film or read the book, but last I checked Bateman was a fictional serial killer who was known for rape, torture, necrophilia, and canibalism among other things. Does he think these are qualities that his voting base find attractive in a candidate? Like...this is bizzare...why would he not go with Dark Knight Christian Bale? It's the same damn actor!

He kills like 5-10 homeless people in the book

Lol you're defending this guy? He cuts a McKinsey contract and he's great? We just learned his wife is online glorifying Palestinian terrorism and Jewish suffering and he has been all taxes and all spending up until a Mckinsey cut and then you swoop in to be like yup- looks good!

I’ve been told we need to wait years to see how economic strategy plays out before passing an opinion.

Sounds like a natural for the Epstein Class...

The joy of NYC economics is that I can watch the shit show from afar. The problem is that we will surely be bailing this mess out at some point.
We didn't have to wait for him to go nuts on tax and spend. You just have to pay attention to more than one headline.

Good move seems pragmatic since he's going to need to find money for all of his other spending. You didn't seem too happy with all the excess spending DOGE found. What changed?

DOGE delivered about 1% of their promised total savings and it came at the expense of Elon and a bunch of 20 year old interns tooling around with millions of Americans financial data.

You don't need to be old to figure out the left wing NGO complex is a waste of money.

NYC's budget is $127B. $9M is 0.007% of their budget.

Did Mamdani vow to cut the entire budget? 🧐

 

[drayer54]

Schumer wanted to play stupid games and then made it clear that the end game was to agree to nothing. Good on the GOP.

I don't know, I didn't follow his campaign that closely, but it's still a smaller percentage than what DOGE did.

Compare the DOGE cuts to the whole US budget instead to make it a fair comparison.

Maybe Mamdani can fix the minor annoyance where repeat offender migrants released from jail on $1 bond push retired Veterans onto subway tracks, killing them

Repeat offenders killing in NYC is a sport, not a problem.

We need more Fettermen on both sides of the aisle, maybe we'd get some shit done in Washington.

Fetterman’s, Collins’, Murkowski’s, and Manchins. All good for the body politic. All will be pushed out from politics because of polarization and party primaries.

NDP’s couldn’t be more of a shit show if they tried.
