Trump's failure and obstinance to creating a functioning transition team jeopardizes US security.

Perhaps Trump feels he doesn't need one since he's already spoken to Putin, seven times, on how to proceed since "JD"s talking points on Ukraine already mirror that of Putin's speechwriter.

Any any rate, Trump's "team" has missed its deadlines in setting up a transition effort:

Just a teaser of the chaos to come...

"PEACH-TREE" dish Marjorie is dead serious about it even going so far as to name her source: an article in "The Gateway Pundit"... 

And:  "U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene cited patents as proof of weather control. That’s Pants on Fire!"

"We investigated three patents on the list, and they didn’t show humans can control weather features such as hurricanes"

Guess the Republicans didn't get that either:

"House GOP infighting erupts over MTG's hurricane comments"
"A spokesperson for Greene did not respond to a request for comment."

How come their warning didn't result in Higher prices that caused prices to go up for families?

How come real wages went UP for a family in the US according to gov't figures?

How come the stock market went up MORE under Trump, adjusted for inflation?

How come when Joe Biden took over from Trump, inflation was at 1.4%?

How come inflation went up under Biden to 9%, historic highs, higher than at any time in the past 40 years?

How come Joe Biden not only kept a great number of the tariffs in place, and in fact added MORE tariffs?

How come inflation TODAY is Still higher than it was at ANY TIME during the Trump administration?

How Come Janet Yellin and Joe Biden LIED back in 2021. 3 years ago and told the American people that this inflation was transitory?  

How come?

Another crock from the crock pot. I get just see Richie applauding right along with the rest of the MAGA crowd at a recent Trump rally when Trump said "we brought you the biggest tax hikes ever!"...

I'll ask again, and see if you can refute any of these factual questions.

They said that exact thing last time about Trump's tariffs and they didn't cause prices to go up because they were mainly aimed at China and China adjusted. 

How come their warning didn't result in Higher prices that caused prices to go up for families?

How come real wages went UP for a family in the US under Trump's Presidency, according to gov't figures?

How come the stock market went up MORE under Trump, adjusted for inflation?

How come when Joe Biden took over from Trump, inflation was at 1.4%? 

How come inflation went up under Biden to 9.1%, historic highs, higher than at any time in the past 40 years?

How come Joe Biden not only kept a great number of the tariffs in place, and in fact added MORE tariffs?

How come inflation TODAY is Still higher than it was at ANY TIME during the Trump administration?

How Come Janet Yellin and Joe Biden LIED back in 2021. 3 years ago and told the American people that this inflation was transitory? 

Why is it still at a high rate after 3 years?  Is that what you dipshits on the left consider 'transitory'?

Because your "facts" are bogus!

We'll examine one for the heck of it just to educate a dumb---- like yourself. The stock market, as of 2 days ago, "The S& 500 as of Thursday’s close, has gained 50% since President Joe Biden and Harris, his vice president, were inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021."

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-how-stocks-have-performed-under-biden-and-harris-vs-under-trump-1339db74

I don't know anybody with a half a brain and a stock-market-based 401k, which most of them are, who would want to have a Trump stock market dow value as compared to that  50% increase under Biden. And what's with the "inflation-adjusted nonsense? If you sell stocks or mutual funds you're concerned about capital gains tax and NOT AN INFLATION-ADJUSTED VALUE" WHICH IS SOME NON-SEQUITUR YOU PULLED OUT OF YOUR BUTT or from some rightwing nutcase source. But that's not surprising since you don';t have any stock investments or a 401k anyway and don't lie and say that you do. We all know better...

I asked you about inflation, I asked about how much less in value your take home pay is due to the massive inflation under Biden/Harris that is still there, and I asked about other factors. 

I guess you are learning well from Kamala parroting her method of not answering questions when asked?   

I suppose the best you're going to do is to change the subject, and yes Inflation does factor in DB, when talking about monetary transactions.

Tell me something Einstein, when Kamala Harris wants to raise taxes on Capital gains massively, what does that do to your investments, since you brought up Capital gains?

Care to ponder that dilemma?

"Tell me something Einstein, when Kamala Harris wants to raise taxes on Capital gains massively, what does that do to your investments, since you brought up Capital gains?"

"Care to ponder that dilemma?"

I'D BE DELIGHTED TO: 
"Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris last week proposed a 28% tax on long-term capital gains, or assets owned for more than one year, for those making more than $1 million annually."
"If she raised the net investment income tax to 5%, top earners would pay a combined rate of 33%."
"Harris’ combined 33% capital gains rate for top earners would be the highest since 1978. But the average effective rate — what investors actually pay — is typically lower, experts say."

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/10/harris-capital-gains-tax-election.html

"Trump has repeatedly said he plans to impose an across-the-board tariff of either 10% or 20% on every import coming into the US, as well as a tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports, in a bid to encourage American manufacturing."

“Tariffs are the greatest thing ever invented,” Trump said last month at a town hall event in Michigan.


" Several independent studies have found that the new tariffs, if implemented, would raise costs for the average middle-class family, with estimates ranging between $1,350 and $3,900 a year.""

"Tariff revenue from Trump's proposals would not replace federal income tax revenue."

"An estimate from the Tax Policy Center shows that former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs wouldn't come close to revenue the US brings in from the federal income tax."

"Trump’s proposals would add $7.5 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Harris’ proposals, by comparison, would add an estimated $3.5 trillion."

Gee, I wonder.

I can see why Jewish leftists just keep voting in their Democrat leaders.  Makes perfect sense!  

That's why Maher is voting for Harris, huh?...

"Chappel Roan, a singer with more than 3 billion views on Spotify, had said she turned down an invitation to the White House’s Pride celebration to protest America’s policies, demanding  “liberty, justice, and freedom for all…for all oppressed people in occupied territories.”

"While Maher praised Roan for saying in interviews that she felt it was worth evaluating the policies of the left as well as the criticizing policies of the right, he noted, “Getting all your history from TikTok is like getting all your calories from [the snack food brand] Hostess.”

"He explained that it's understandable that she and her generation were moved by the sight of casualties in Gaza."

"However, he added, “It’s odd that your generation didn’t seem nearly as moved by the Jewish bodies on October 7… Doesn’t the sight of so many young women raped at a music festival make it a little personal?"


"Maher then launched into an extremely brief explanation of what colonization means and that Israel is “the Jewish homeland and Jews have always lived there… Calling Jews colonizers in Israel is like calling Native Americans colonizers here. It’s ridiculous.”

"Describing the United Nation’s partition plan in 1947 that would have established an Arab state alongside a Jewish one, Maher noted that “one side” -- the Jews -- accepted the proposal but that “The Arabs had a slightly different proposal. They said, ‘How ’bout we keep it all and wipe you out?’”

"Quoting from some of her explicit lyrics about sexuality,  Maher told her, “That wouldn’t fly in Gaza. Although you would, straight off a roof.”
