My man Giddyup was a prophet. His reality will become all of ours. Some conservatives want to act like they are "helping" Ukraine by castrating them.
Giddyup didn't even pretend to mince his words from the beginning. He was like fuck those corrupt bastards, they get nothing. They will kneel before lord Putin.
Wish granted. Time to pop the champagne for Giddyup.

It's not really possible for us to castrate Ukraine under the current arrangement. Everything we provide is something they did not have before. The absence of assistance isn't harm.

I look at it like a tax hike is a harm, the removal of a tax credit isn't. It may result in harm, but it was a benefit I received.

All this talk of Ukraine and no talk of Trump's many proposed batshit economic policies and a likely recession to be reported in Q1

Despite relatively high interest rates and rising unemployment, the chance of a 2025 recession is estimated to be low. The Federal Reserve’s projections for 2025 call for median economic growth of 2.1% in 2025, which would likely be sufficient to avoid recession risk.

Nah, recessions are a thing of the past! Biden rewrote the definition of recession to avoid having one on his watch. It used to be a drop in GDP over the course of two consecutive quarters was a recession, but now we just call it a "transition period" or something because that sounds friendlier.
 
GATTACA!

GATTACA!

It's about to get gross

Mighty fine rationalization you got there.

Keep at it Bua. Other people favoring Trump actions should step up and make THEIR arguments as to why these sorts of things are "good" for our country and humanity in general, but they shouldn't blissfully deny that things ARE happening which are extremely challenging to half the country and a lot of the World.

You are pushing the actual front line issues into conscious focus. THAT is exactly proper for concerned citizenship as our democracy is constructed. Keep it up and my thanks. (The name-calling will increase against you, but not by me.)

(This president has already hurt me, as the stock market has dropped for my retirement monies just as my required out-take has come, which means each newly taken "share" I have in my portfolio was worth less, therefore more of my shares were decimated. For me, it just means eating a bit lower on the food pyramid, and not giving to my charities, but I don't LIKE either, especially the latter. Many of my former neighbors will be hit far more in "quality of life".)

My parents were/are? considering retirement next year. Those plans may now have to change.

Appreciate the kind words.
