The entertainment value alone in all the "adult" conversations here is tremendous. And of course there is always The Village Idiot memes, "I've got the popcorn out". How did you put it, Bah ha ha ha? |

How many of those voters are now having buyers's remorse? May they have the days they voted for. And no, Donny doesn't get credit-at all-for solving probems of his own creation. |

This is the market crashing thread. Presumably made to blame Trump. I just went back and checked. Once the 2024 election results were clear, the Dow soared 1,500 points in ONE DAY. AROUND 3.5%. The day before the world knew Trump was going to become President again 42000, today, 49500. Now I don’t really give Trump credit for that. Just that he’s not a liberal Democrat. And now I’ll have to hear simple Geno somehow give ‘a Democrat President’ credit for that 3.5% because Biden was still President on that day. And I’ll have to hear silly Ed pretzelize his way into thinking we’d be better off with Harris. The markets spoke LOUD AND CLEAR on 11/6/2024 about if businesses want a Democrat or a Republican. The worst candidate in history won for the sole reason being he’s not a leftist Democrat. Has Trump broken the law via the Emoluments Clause? Darn tootin! Go get him after you get a Dem elected in 2028. It will make good theater. |

Those same businesses now face rising costs, tariffs and a venal and grasping President. May they have the days they voted for. And yes, simple Geno still maintains with ample evidence that the economy does better under Dems than the GOP. And "I don't know" SooPoo still doesn't get it. Because he doesn't know, and doesn't feel like finding out. And then he comes up some excuse after excuse why the inevitable recessions that occur under GOP Presidents aren't actually their fault. And when the economy improves under Dem Presidents isn't actually of their doing. |

The biggest market in the country is the supermarket Everybody buys groceries You gotta eat It's shockingly how much food prices have gone up I'm pretty thrilled with my investments in the stock market But My sympathy lies with regular paycheck to paycheck people struggling with high gas and food priced A market Soopoo doesn't like to discuss unless it's a Dem President |

My sympathy is with Blue State voters and Blue voters. The 77 million who voted for Donny? I am enjoying my schadenfreude. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5497 | I bet a lot if not most of them would still vote for Trump over Harris: the notion of "progressive change" is anathema to many. |

It's not even that deep, most of them would never vote for a black or a female president. Trump could send their parents to concentration camps and they would vote for him before a black female. It's just reality. |
