June 2025 inflation: 2.7%

[Papageorgio]

Do you need proof? CBS or Paramount, whoever, wanted to sell. Trump wouldn't allow it unless they paid him millions and fired Colbert. They would have won the case, in 2 years. They wanted to sell the company now. Don't be stupid.

Trump threatened Elon's companies.

Trump threatened Amazon if they put what tariffs were costing on all their items.

I can't prove it but I bet gas is cheaper than it probably normally would be but those companies love Trump and want to make him look good.

Although I'm still seeing a lot of $3.29. But I found one that's $2.89 if you pay cash.

Doesn't matter I would never vote GOP

You are so full of shit, you just admitted you have nothing, thanks for the scary story, we have solid proof that the Biden Administration violated our 1st Amendment rights and all you got is some silly conspiracy theories, thanks for today’s laughs.

What I know for a fact, gas is cheaper today than it was at this same time a year ago and that is with many states increasing their gas taxes, we also know inflation will happen, how much is going to be more because of tariffs is unknown probably 5% before it is over, we also know that wages are continuing to increase, we know that our debt will increase, and anything good won’t be because of Trump and if things are bad it is all on Trump, even if it isn’t.

There are threads on here about how our deficit has increased and the articles all say because of including growing interest payments on the public debt, and cost of living pay increases to Social Security,payouts, among other costs.

Those are all from spending and inflation in 2024, not Trump, however partisan nut jobs hang on this BS, just like partisan nutters were all over Biden for inflation. Both sides, the nuts are making stupid statements, lies and BS and you partisan nuts all fall for it. It is comical and I get a good laugh at both sides.

5% because of tariffs. How much more when he lowers interest rates?

This reminds me of bush. He did things he shouldn’t have done to help his struggling economy and it led to the Great Recession. THen you blamed democrats.

It turns out there isn’t that much government waste. And the savings they got from social safety nets for us, went to rich people. All the doge savings goes to them. Not you, social security, the debt, Medicare.

And republicans waste that money on weapons and the elites. Maybe you work for an oil company or arms dealer? Idk.

Democrats waste the money on the poor. The backbone of our economy. We use them and you think they are greedy.

Reagan, bush and trump 1.0 all gave the rich tax breaks. Now you want to give them more?

Don’t cry about stimulus money causing inflation but tax breaks to the rich is ok.

The rich are sooo much richer than they were in the 70s. Can’t you see what they did to the middle class? Yet you argue against taxing them more. I guess the he rich have won you over

 

[sealybobo]

The Chinese, Mexico, illegals, did not screw the middle class. Rich Americans did with Reagan, bush and trump

I’m arguing with a Trump supporter and you about the economy, it is funny. Both of you believe the party line. The Democrats and Republicans work for the rich, they have proved it for many decades. Look at the separation of wealth in the last 20 years Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden have been in charge and 99% of Democrats and Republicans in Congress have voted for it and yet you continue to vote for them.

I have argued for years cut spending on all programs and raise taxes on all people across the board. I don’t like Trumps new spending bill because it will add $3 trillion to the debt, yet your stupid partisan brain keeps telling you I am for tax cuts, I can’t see how a person that claims to be in sales is so dumb as to not listen to what another person says.

Again, I’m against tax cuts on anyone, I am for spending cuts, on all programs. Republicans and Democrats help the rich not the poor. Your reading comprehension sucks.

Under Biden you didn’t give a damn about spending, the debt, stimulus money, the rich getting richer, but under Bush and Trump you suddenly care? Again your partisanship is just plain moronic, sheeple thinking. You can’t see beyond Democrat or Republican.

What did Biden spend on? Us? Infrastructure? It wasn't tax breaks for the rich. Unless you mean the companies who hire the people to fix our infrastructure.

If you are against tax cuts you should vote Democratic. We don't give them but everyone works and saves and has things and life was great in America. Wake up. Republicans are the party for the rich. You may be like me where you have been successful in these last 4 decades but I'm telling you because of Republicans, you are not doing as well as you should be.

What I sell is something manufacturers in America use. That means even though what they sell you is made in America, the price is going to go up. Because the shit they buy to make what they make is not made in America.

He didn’t repeal the Trump tax cuts, the didn’t repeal the Trump tariffs, he just spent more money, we need to cut spending, he did nothing, he increased and gave more money to the the rich.

As far as Republicans being the party for, that is outdated, both help the rich because it doesn’t matter if we have Republicans or Democrats controlling the legislation, the wealth gap has grown and it has grown more with Democratic presidents than Republican. Just a fact of life.

Why you vote for a Republican or a Democrat is up to you, but I vote third party because I have a better chance of getting a government for the people and by the people.

You vote for a government for the rich by the rich.

The gap grows wider and faster because of Republican policies my friend. Regardless of who's in charge. NAFTA may have passed on Clinton's watch but he put worker and environmental protections in it. Bush removed them.

You don't pay attention to the details. You accept the right wing spin on things. So much you don't know or are leaving out.

Yes both have to be good to the rich. And they should be. The rich are important to our strong economy. But Republicans are too good to the rich and not good enough to the middle class. The Democrats have been called out for "turning their backs on the middle class". Or not doing enough. Well, that's true. But don't look to the Republicans for help. They're cutting shit that helps us to give to billionaires. Reverse robin hood. And STILL you argue "both sides..." Oh shut the **** up.

The economy under Biden was great. Only the uneducated blue collar were really being left behind. Couldn't afford rent, groceries. Trump exploited that and now things are even worse for those fools You too.

The only problem with America's economy is the rich have rigged the system entirely and their wealth compared to ours shows it. Which party wants to do something about it? Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, but you'll call them socialists and commies so you are on the side of the rich too.

You just admitted that both sides don’t help the middle class, you just admitted Biden didn’t help blue collar workers but I should support that?

Sanders is 5 times richer today than when he got into office, Warren has doubled her wealth and Cortez, the one with an economic degree, earning $200,000 a year is only worth $50K. I also never called them commies or socialists, two have taken advantage of their power and Cortez can’t manage her money, you want her in charge of the country? lol!

Again, I don’t support policies for the rich but you keep claiming I do, I vote for change and you vote for the status quo which is giving the rich more money and the middle class and poor, less money and you want to censor me? lol!

Again, I don’t care for Trump, but the Democrats have yet to offer a solution to our problems and every time they do it benefits the rich more than the poor. Kind of hypocritical don’t you think?

Democrats are the only party that helps the middle class. I know what Reaganomics, Bushanomics and Trumpanomics do to the middle class.

Democrats try to be pro labor without being anti corporations. For some reasons Republicans get away with passing obvious laws that favor the rich over and over and you give them a pass on all those bills, policies and laws, and deregulations. If you don't get it I won't argue with you. I'll just assume you are stupid or being obtuse.

The Democrats already gave you the solution. We created the best middle class the world had ever seen. But you let the corporations fight a class war against us, started around 1978, and all these years you've been on the fence rather than joining the labor party. I bet you loved Reagan right? He was the first to take on the unions, and start turning a blind eye to illegals. And he and Bush created NAFTA. All the shit that has hurt the middle class, they are behind.

Trump has a whole new spin on how he's the guy for the middle class. I'm glad at least you aren't buying that.

You want the Democrats to fight harder for the middle class? So hard it makes the corporations uncomfortable?

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been labeled a "communist" by some political figures and commentators, including former President Donald Trump.

Again, the Democrats are for the rich, the evidence is overwhelming, the two largest transitions of wealth came under Obama and Biden, that is a fact and it has hurt America, they also have never tried to eliminate debt, the only one close to that was when Clinton worked with Gingrich, I am tired of your BS and your repetitive posts, unless you have solid proof I am no longer interested in talking about it. The evidence I have is 100 plus years of evidence that both parties are responsible for our debt and the separation of wealth to the rich, I see them to be equally responsible as neither have, when having full power ever reduced our debt other than Calvin Coolidge and that was 96 years ago. All you have is your opinion and facts have proven you wrong.

Yes, you seem to prefer Trump/Republicans to Democrats. They have clearly brainwashed you. Beyond me being able to explain why you are wrong.

They not only fucked you, but convinced you it was Obama/Biden who did it. Or Clinton too. Remember, he signed NAFTA.

So continue to vote 3rd party or GOP ya schmuck.

What we need is a Bernie Sanders or a Stephen A Smith to be President. Because Stephen A Smith won't sell out. Neither will Bernie. It's why THEY demonize him. And it's why the GOP will attack Stephen A Smith if he dares tries to run.

THEY didn't like Trump either. Can you blame them? But not because he's fighting for you. Because he's an idiot.

If you want to believe so have at, if Democrats ever have a good candidate I’d vote for them but that is as likely as the Republicans putting up a good candidate. Sanders is not a Democrat he is an independent and Smith is disgusted with the Democratic Party. I’m not voting a sports commentator to run a country, he knows nothing about the world other than sports, howeve I do like to watch him. The rest you have no actual facts, to back up your BS but I am used to that from you.

I’d vote Manchin, Sinema, Gabbard or RFK Jr, good honest liberals that stand up for values but the Democratic Party didn’t like that so they pushed them all away.

You'll never vote Democratic because you will swallow the bs from the right. You've been doing it since Clinton. So shut up and vote GOP. Or 3rd party. Or not at all. I've given up on trying to explain it to you.

You're like the guy in Germany in 1939 who didn't vote for Hitler but you also didn't vote for his opponent. And you believed "they were all the same". Right?

How can you see the direction Bush took us and think there is no difference?

So keep doing what the GOP loves. They don't always try to win over voters. There are some voters they'll never get to vote for them. So what is their goal for those people? To get them to not vote at all. Or vote 3rd party.

I used to wish dumb poor people would show up and vote. If they did that, the party of the rich (GOP) would be forced to change. But instead they GOP convinced you suckers that the Dems are just as bad as they are.

As long as they continue to divide us, they win.

If you idiots would have joined us in electing Obama, and then given him a super majority in 2010, the GOP would have been forced to change for the better. Instead they just obstructed until you idiots gave them back the house then ultimately the Senate too. Then ultimately you handed power over to Trump not Hillary? Are you insane? You didn't like the Clinton era?

"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.

"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.

 

[M14 Shooter]

You'll never vote Democratic...

All you do is lie.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

/----/ Yup , that's great news.

Of course it is, because to the sycophant cultists who worship maga, good is defined as whatever trump does, you people could be starving in the streets because of trump and we'd see the same weasel yellow belly speech "this is good, great to be here".

Like the Nazis who cheered Hitler as their country was being surrounded and bombed by the British, Americans and Russians, they no doubt kept cheering and living the dream.

 

[sealybobo]

All you do is lie.

Oh stop it! Stop being a total douche. I don't lie. You swallow lies daily from the right. I have friends who say the same stupid shit you do and I know where you guys are getting your talking points from.

Are you doing better than you were last year? Tell us how. How have you managed to not pay more for everything because of Trump's tariffs?

You are such a stupid shit. You probably don't even realize what a flip flopper you are. Last year you argued things but this year when those things get worse you don't seem to mind. Nor do you admit that things are getting worse because of Trump's actions.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Oh stop it!

Stop lying.
Wait. You can't.
Its all you do.

Hitler was given his power by president Hindenburg, in 1933 who gave Hitler the title of chancellor wasn’t elected, in 1934 Hindenburg died and Hitler named himself fuhrer, so again you fail.

We had wars under Clinton , we were involved in Bosnia, Kosovo and Somalia, we had a strong Republican Congress and a good fiscal conservative president, Clinton, Gingrich and Lott came up with these cuts,

• cut defense discretionary spending by $77 billion and cut nondefense discretionary spending by $61 billion;
• “cut” (reduced the growth rate of) Medicare spending by $115 billion;
• “cut” Medicaid spending by $14 billion;
• cut other mandatory spending by $40 billion;
• contained new “Presidential [spending] initiatives” that increased spending by $31 billion; and
• cut taxes by a net $85 billion (and a gross $135 billion, $50 billion of which was offset by other tax increases).

So I agree a strong fiscal conservative president a fiscal conservative House and a strong fiscal conservative Senate.

We haven’t had that since then, why are Democrats now complaining about the cuts we are seeing? They are the same cuts Clinton and Democrats favored in the 90’s, flip flopper.

And again, I really don’t care what Trump thinks,
