This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances.

I think Kamala has spent her adult life listening to other politicians answer questions with responses she didn't understand, and she wrongly assumed noone else understood them either. So by giving long winded, non-sensical, circular answers that noone understands, she thinks she's just doing what other politicians have always done.
I'm convinced she does not understand why people are giving her a hard time about her word salad answers.

“ Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things like doing a show like yours, your show, you know, you see it on Fox, but when you really see it is all over the place, they take clips of your show that you’re doing right now with me and if I do a good job, they’re gonna vote for me, they’re gonna vote for me because it’s not just on Fox, it’s on Fox is a smaller part of it. You’re on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones you’re on, you’re all over the place. You have a product, you have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out, you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad. They’ve been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is gonna be close to shut down.”

My guess is that you agree with getting rid of the border, a choice to buy a gas automobile, or electric, putting violent criminals back out on the street after they have sold drugs, or killed someone, abortion on demand, teaching children that they can be either sex, just to name a few, then Kamala is your canidate, Whoopi!

Are you trying to imply that the credibility and intelligence of people who believe men can get pregnant and that there are 70+ genders is somehow questionable?

No, that's not what they mentioned at all.
Please read what they said, and if you care to, respond.
All your what-aboutisms have done nothing but lose you elections.
Voters know the issues.
If you cannot address them, you will lose again this November.

Totally. So tell us, how many genders do you think there are, and can men become pregnant? Please, tell us all about fluidity and other such wonderful ideas and get your credibility back.

Again you dodge the subject.
However to answer you questions, I myself know nothing about fluidity and believe in only two genders.
So, I don't fit in your one size fits all idea about liberals.
Sorry, Jethro.

JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER
AUG 5
That two-by-four upside our country’s head you’ve been waiting to get whomped with? Looks like it’s landing now. We got a banger in 2008, but it didn’t make a much of an impression. Maybe you don’t even remember these people, but then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke came in like a code blue squad and hooked up the banks to an IV-drip speedball of cocaine and heroin, i.e., “money” that didn’t actually exist (a.k.a. “liquidity,” hallucinated capital), and that crew kept it coming for years.
And then Janet Yellen and her posse kept it coming with never-ending zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) until the national debt canceled America’s future. And that left Jerome Powell pretending there was a way out of this doom-loop. Then came the repo market spasm in September 2019 that freaked out the blob so badly they shut down the whole world with Covid and locked-down economies. And everything since then has been a waiting game. The financial world was in hospice.
The wait is over. Everything that can break is breaking: stock markets, bond markets, the galaxy of derivatives — bets on this and that, which will never be honored. Banks are next. Gold and silver are hanging in there for dear life just now, because they’re actually worth something. (And because they are worth something, they‘ll eventually sell off some too, to cover margin calls on other stuff hemorrhaging value. But they will not go to zero like a lot of other stuff, and they’ll come back stronger.)
You understand this can’t play out like it did in 2008-9. The authorities are out of tricks and out of fake money. They can try the emergency interest rate cut, but it won’t change what is actually happening: the epic revaluation of everything humans make and own — with much of it losing value and quite a bit losing all value because it never really had any. The spooky catch is that there will be an attempt in this wild and terrifying process, for certain devious, unprincipled parties to take possession of many things shaking loose — what remains of collateral. . . real things. . . commodities. . . facilities. . . properties. . . chattels. . . artworks. . . and, of course, whatever securities still have a relationship to realities of production.
This brings a sharp end to the current political sitcom, especially the situation of the Democratic Party. They will get blamed for the economic carnage left behind by the shattered money system. They lied about everything for years, every number, every index, every supposed “policy”.
Kamala Harris won’t be cackling her way out of this. It’s hard to see how she might remain the party’s nominee. She can’t even speak to the massive catalog of prior failures to govern our country coherently and effectively. And it’s equally hard to figure how “Joe Biden,” still presiding emptily over this fiasco, can get Twenty-fifthed out of the way for his feckless veep. More likely, the coming convention will be a desperate, bloody mass cage fight and somebody else will stagger out of it to go through the motions of campaigning in a hopeless cause. Hillary might even decline the roll in this horror show.
Now, I began writing this post well before dawn, eastern time. The action in Asia, across the international date line, was a slaughter. Europe got smacked hard, but not catastrophically. Maybe the Wall Street wonderboys can stop the bleeding here, but the futures numbers sure look grim. I’ll come back later when the US markets have spoken and add a few observations on the situation.
Oh, and you’ve probably noticed that World War Three is shaping up to kick off today.

Well you took a shot at Harris as far as her probable solution.
How do you see Trump solving the delimma please?
With an austerity program for the lower/middle classes and trillions in tax breaks for the wealthy?
That's all he's got.
You really believe THAT will work?

The Dems only know how to slice pie. They take most of it and give you just a little bit back. They have no idea how pie is actually made and are incapable of making more pies.
Most of their GDP "gain" have been from increased govt spending which is just juicing the numbers with your money.
Entrepreneurs and business people which makes up most of the old line GOP actually know how to bake more pies. Increase the supply of pies and employ even more people to make even more pies.
GOP can grow the economy organically and know how to actually make our economy more competitive in global markets.
Swamp dwellers can only destroy and distribute what has been created by others. They have ZERO real world skills.
Leave them in charge too long and we will all literally starve to death.

Look, the only pie Trump and the MAGA GOP is interested in growing is their own pie.
And they're going to do that by eating everyone else's pie.
That's exactly what intelligent voters know.
That's why intelligent voters are voting for Harris in November and sending Trump on to a good black job.

Ya' know whats "Down Sharply"?
The average IQ of a Trump supporter.
Dumber, AND MORE GULLIBLE, than a box of rocks.
Did you see him this weekend? Did you see the cross section of his base behind him? Did you hear him rant about all that doesn't matter in the least iota to the average American voter? Did you see his shuffle out on stage?
Did you see him attack A FELLOW REPUBLICAN, one who is the governor of a state he MUST have?
That dude is losing it, and on the verge of a major meltdown. DonOld hopefully will fully blow it in front of the entire nation.

Please explain their plan for growing the economy.

Because Trump has no plan.
