if you say so

here's a test for you, Ams, do you see anything wrong with a statement like this? You would have in 2021, so this is about *your* decline due to age

""We need to implement price controls because prices are too high. Prices are too high because we haven't implemented price controls. Therefore, by implementing price controls, we'll finally have the price controls needed to control the high prices caused by the lack of price controls!""

Yawn
Legal weed is a huge issue for me
Biden was against legal weed
I still voted for him

You look at minute details and ask why
We look at the big picture and say sure

Harris never implemented price controls
Trump has with tariffs

I suspect there is not a problem with "price controls" if done right. And there is if done wrong.

But then I'm using price control loosely. Because regulations everyone has to play by is a price control. If I say, China is not allowed to undersell a product for no reason that we can actually detect or control that's a faulty price control. But if I say China can't sell dog food with certain detectable byproducts that we can detect here, that's a workable price control. We're assuming in this case China dilutes their dog food to make it cheaper, in this case. And that we can detect and ban.

Ams flunked the aging test like I thought

I think you should have just chuckled along with your reveal from 2021, you made it worse instead

Odious, you miss the point. There are many libs/Dems/progressives that wish Harris would go away, the most recent example are the anti-American pro-Palestinian crowd. But what they have in common is they all wish Trump would go away more.
3 years ago ams wanted no more of Harris. He wants no more of Trump a lot more than he wants no more of Harris now.

The fact is the Democrat party is much more unified and organizable than the Republican Party. The Republicans can’t get rid of their flawed candidate, while the Democrats smoothly axed Biden and seamlessly installed Harris as the heir apparent. If Trump dies tomorrow, there is a big Republican cat fight (DeSantis, Cruz, Rubio, Haley, Vance) to fill the spot.

If you told me on June 26th that by the end of July the Democratic Party would have a different nominee and asked me who I would choose to replace him, would I have picked Kamala?

Hell no!

I didn’t think people would coalesce around her like they did. And she’s turned out to be a much better campaigner than I expected. And the GOP just cannot seem to find a decent criticism of her (“communist” - they always call Dem candidates that, “slept her way to the top” - not true, sexist, and even if it was true who cares? “Drinks too much” - desperate and obviously false, “cusses too much” - lol, “no proof she worked at McDs” - sad).

I am shocked by it too, but will vote for anybody but Trump.

I'm surprised too
Something about Trump that just unites the Dems like no other candidate in existence
Take Chris Christie
He might have gotten my vote
So practicle, has common sense and honorable
Trump on the other hand. I think he is dangerous

I'm not so sure how honorable he is but he is a saint compared to Trump.

I thought he did a good job as Governor of NJ
He's a fiscal conservative that walked the walk
Few true fiscal conservatives in the party

I lived in NJ was Christie was governor. I thought he was a loud mouth buffoon. How naive I was now that he is the "moderate".
