Democrats are on the precipice of delivering a huge blow to Donald Trump

[WorldWatcher]

Yep. I guess we won't know until tonight, for sure, but I suspect Hakeem Jeffries to take over as Speaker of the House, in January. I hope he won't be as bad a fkup as Johnson.

Any way Johnson/Trump can just leave the House out of session like they are doing during the shut down?

President Hillary and President Kamala agree with those forecasts.

That isn't inflation, that is response to supply and demand. Inflation is intrinsic to the currency itself, not spot shortages and surpluses that are handled by the market.

Oil prices rising and falling isn't inflation and deflation, it is changes in market price.

And you claim to know economics?

All well and good but the price of hamburger is up $2 since 2024.

Part inflation, part decreases in supply due to the shrinking of the American beef herd, part due to tariffs on Brazilian beef.

And Trump worked to migrate some of it via decreasing tariffs on Argentinian beef.

Irrelevant. The price is up.

That he previously raised on Argentina. So just less terrible but still terrible. Good Job!

Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises over time, leading to a decline in the purchasing power of money. Inflation occurs when overall demand outpaces supply - whether that’s because people are buying more than the economy can produce or because shortages make it harder for the economy to keep up.

You're mixing up relative price changes with inflation.

When the price of oil or another commodity rises or falls due to supply and demand, that’s a market adjustment — a microeconomic change. Inflation, on the other hand, is a broad and sustained increase in the overall price level across most goods and services in the economy - a macroeconomic trend.

Supply shocks (like oil spikes) can cause inflation if they ripple through the whole economy and raise costs generally, but by themselves, they’re not inflation.

So yes, oil prices rising and falling isn’t inflation by itself, but widespread increases in prices (generated from covid or tariffs) is inflation.

 

[WorldWatcher]

True, but that was only after a banner year for Republicans in 2024 because of the disastrous Biden presidency.
Typically the Federal workers keep VA blue.

Looking at the Governor, Senate and House in VA, there are an awful lot of R's last close to 30 years.

The D's have only had control of all 3 in 4 of the last 30+ years. Hardly a "democrat stronghold".

Excuses, excuses. I didn't see you making excuses for Biden when egg prices were high, hypocrite. In fact, you were doing the opposite.

Karma's a *****!

Trump said he was going to bring down grocery prices "on day one".

Just another lie of thousands of lies you all swallowed and excuse, excuse, excuse.

Beef is at the highest price ever in the history of America.

Thanks, Trump!

Completely relevant, some things are out of the government's control.

You are real good at copying and pasting shit you don't understand.

How did that work for Biden?

But you have a point, in that midterms are a year out. Lets see what conditions are like closer to then.

Of course it's all Trump's fault, in your addled, fucktard TDS head.

Find posts of me screaming about eggs before you make accusations, oxygen thief.

You mean Biden's handlers.

Yeah OP, good luck with all that.

People inside the GOP strategy office are telling people they are highly likely to lose the midterms bigly. Democrats lead in NJ-GOV (only close one), VA-GOV, & NYC Mayor. Trump's way underwater in all 3 places (like he is nationally) & is a drag. Historically, a sweep of NYC-NJ-VA means Dems win the House the next year.

• Presidents with approval ≥55%: average House change –8 seats (mild or even gains).
• Presidents with approval <50%: average –40 seats.
• Biden’s –9 loss in 2022 was unusually small for his 48% rating, roughly one-fourth the typical penalty.
• The 2002 Bush midterm (with 87% approval) was the only case of a president gaining seats since FDR’s 1934 midterm.

Geez, Obama lost 63 seats????? Talk about a red wave! Thank goodness for that though, really saved the country when that happened. Dems had given us double digit UE, Obama tried to say that was the new normal....thank goodness the people woke up then.

Bwahahahaha. You were mislead about what inflation was. You think inflation is only a money supply issue. It’s not. In fact money supply alone cant cause inflation. Sorry you are butt hurt.
