What is going to hurt this time?  

Are you referring to the massive record inflation that we lived with under Joe Biden?  I ask because as usual you aren't making any sense.

Have you been watching too much of that psychotic mental case Rachel Maddow and is her lunacy rubbing off on you?  

It's a safe bet anyone without a brainwashed brain would prefer the so-called "massive" inflation of the previous Trump/Biden era to the actual massive and terrible tariffs we have thanks to Trump, including GOP senators speaking out today:  

"Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) warned that Trump’s fluctuating tariff rates are increasing costs for consumers and creating uncertainty among businesses and employers."
“My view is that there’s no question that consumers, Americans, pay a price for tariffs. It increases the price of the goods coming into the United States."

"It definitely is indicative of a weakened economy, an economy that’s not acting in a robust fashion. I’ve all along felt like there’s a lag between tariffs and actual economic downturn,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said."

"A third Republican senator who requested anonymity said Friday’s weak jobs report creates a significant political problem for Trump and Republicans in Congress."

“I don’t think that the administration can ignore them,” the senator said of the jobs report.

“You have to see that connection, that link” between the disappointing jobs report and Trump’s tariff policies, the senator said.

“I don’t think spinning it is good enough,”

The truth is Biden handed Trump a thriving economy and Trump and minions are mucking it all up...

"US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that the United States could soon generate as much as $50 billion per month in tariff revenues, as the new and expanded import levies begin to take effect worldwide."

“I think we’re going to be heading towards $50 billion a month in tariff revenue that no one’s talked about except for the president,” Lutnick told Fox Business in an interview this morning."


Really!? Where does he think this "revenue" is going to come from? It's going to come from the tariffs fees ultimately being imposed on and paid by American importers and exporters who will likely be passing the costs of doing business upon the american consumer. In other words, it's a real redistribution of american business profits into government coffers... I wonder if Rich Davis, who constantly complains about democratic "marxists", gets that?...

They were quoting a GM report and I'll believe them over anything you say every time.

From my prior link from "The Hill":


"Ford Motor reported last week a net loss of $36 million from April through June, compared with a profit of $1.8 billion a year ago. The automotive giant projects tariffs will cost it $2 billion this year alone."

Regarding GM:  

"Trump tariffs take $1-billion bite out of GM earnings, shares fall"

"GM maintains tariff impact of $4 billion to $5 billion for the year"

In regards to inflation under Biden as being co-owned by the prior Trump administration:

"Is inflation Biden’s or Trump’s fault? The answer isn’t so simple, economists say"

"Neither Biden nor Trump is to blame for much of the inflation, however, economists said: The Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine and Federal Reserve policy mishaps were beyond their control."
"However, some of their policies likely played a role, too, economists said."

"The Federal Reserve, which acts independently from the Oval Office, was slow to act to contain hot inflation, for example. Some Biden and Trump policies such as pandemic relief packages also likely played a role, as might have so-called “greedflation.”

"That Biden is seen as stoking high inflation is due somewhat to optics: He took office in early 2021, around the time inflation spiked notably, economists said.

Likewise, the Covid-19 pandemic plunged the U.S. into a severe recession during Trump’s tenure, pulling the consumer price index to near zero in spring 2020 as unemployment ballooned and consumers cut spending.

“In my view, neither Trump nor Biden is to blame for the high inflation,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “The blame goes to the pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine.”

"Oh dear, do sit down. It must sting to have your little snowflake habit of projecting blame onto others—while simultaneously doubling down on the very behaviors you accuse everyone else of? Classic. I almost admire the audacity.

You think calling someone a ‘nasty bag of liquid crap’ is clever? Please. That’s peak kindergarten-level rhetoric. Yet, here you are, balking at being exposed for the hypocrite you so clearly are. And yes, it would be embarrassing—if you had a grasp of that concept.

Your relentless daily performance of “exposing” me is about as impressive as a toddler pout. Meanwhile, I literally point out you’re engaging in schoolyard taunts—and what do you do? You label me ignorant, clueless, a projectionist, then drop a few IQ barbs like the world’s funniest punchline. Guess what? The joke’s on you.

Now, riding a short bus to school? That’s not only tiresome, it’s downright desperate. You throw out “massive TDS,” “peabrain,” guessing IQ scores— oh, how original. Have you taken a test? No, of course not. Because you prefer the thrill of low-effort insults over, you know, actual arguments.

So keep it going. Keep unveiling your enlightened worldview—one infantile taunt at a time. At this point, it’s comedic relief."

Accurate, of course but I think Rich really needs to occupy his time. Afterall,  ICE is recruiting with no age limitations! $50,000 sign-on bonus for those with prior law enforcement experience. All ya gotta to do is be the neighborhood badass hell bent for leather to throw illegal immigrants out of the country but you do, at least in California, have to be reasonably physically fit since you'll be chasing illegals thru car washes in Norwalk and running after strawberry pickers in Oxnard.

Additionally, you can't be claustrophobic either since you may have to spend time huddled in the back of a Penske rental truck parked in the lot of a Home Depot while waiting on a "go!" order to chase after illegals selling lemonade and hot dogs or waiting for day work. If that sounds like you RICH and you want to keep us all safe, like you know you do, sign up at your neighborhood recruiter or online today!

Sorry for my error.  At least you didn't deny your blatant hypocrisy, so here's to you, a regular card carrying member of the psychotic Dems!   

"a regular card carrying member of the psychotic"

Anyone who reads your posts on a regular basis knows who the psychotic is...

As I worked for Hitachi Medical for 6 years and designed on my own a number of different medical carts that I sold throughout the country, with several companies reselling them worldwide, I didn't need to use my degree for any purposes aside from when I repaired their ultrasound equipment. 

When I quit manufacturing carts for essentially every single Ultrasound dealer in the US, which sold MORE in the US, than the carts designed by the engineers there back at Hitachi in Japan, they were a bit perturbed.

I'm sure I've told this story before, but I was called BY Hitachi and had a personal meeting with one of their reps Mike Ikeo here in Colorado. He indicated to me in no uncertain terms that Hitachi was not exactly happy that in the front of my carts I placed the name of MY company RAD Medical screened onto the paint, that was prominently placed and easily seen. 

Their concern after seeing MY cart, was that their customers, seeing RAD Medical in front, prominently there for the world to see, would think that the Ultrasound Machine, the 405 unit for which my cart was used, was made by RAD Medical rather than Hitachi Medical. 

In no uncertain terms they informed me that there would be a big legal problem if I continued.

So I had tags made that had the name Hitachi and their logo on it, and at their request every cart I sold from then on had the Hitachi name on it. I also had to send replacement tags to every dealer in the nation to cover up the name of my company RAD Medical.

Now I only relayed that story so that I can watch as James Lacey tells me I'm full of shit and that I never designed Medical Carts for Hitachi Medical.    LOL!!!

"Yes, I graduated 31 years ago, and since I was always self-employed I didn't rely on my degree to further my business products."

"As I worked for Hitachi Medical for 6 years and designed on my own a number of different medical carts that I sold throughout the country, with several companies reselling them worldwide, I didn't need to use my degree for any purposes aside from when I repaired their ultrasound equipment."


Just for a point of clarification, you state you were "always self-employed" while also stating, "As I worked for Hitachi and designed on my own a number of different medical carts..." so which is it? Were you always self employed as you state? Or have you actually "worked for Hitachi" as you've also stated? Or were you actually a subcontractor for Hitachi while you simultaneously "designed on my own a number of different medical carts"? If so, you're quite a multi-tasker, aren't you?...

Yeah Jim, but what's that compared to an ultrasound cart?...

Threatens people from behind the safety of his internet connection (this is the funniest one) but would never follow through.
The list goes on and on, and if he weren't such a toxic loser, I'd feel sorry for him. But I don't.
Feel free to add to this pathetic list.

I don't think you're giving due deference to Rich in light of his accomplishments. The list, admitality, is short but impressive. 

In consideration of the man and the legend (in his own mind):

1. Envisioned, created and engineered a structurally advanced mobile support system for an ultrasound, otherwise known as a cart.

2. Envisioned, created and implemented a marketing strategy at the executive level so impressive and successful that the initial beneficiary of the mobile ultrasound delivery system, Hitachi heavy industries, was forced to take notice and developed countermeasures in order to compete.

3. Implemented world-class entrepreneurship, going head to head with Hitachi at every level, from his initial technological achievement of development to sales and support so successful that it remains unrivaled even today and decades after its development.

So, when you have an ultrasound, remember the man who got it there in the first place, RICH DAVIS!...

On edit: Here it is:

"I just spent a few minutes googling Richard Davis, cabinetry, Colorado Springs and got nothing. Also tried using richartisticwoods and got zilch. Davis cabinetry? Richard Davis Cabinetry? Rich's Artistic Woods? Nada. Cabinet makers in Colorado Springs/Rich Davis? Nothing

Google AI did say: There are several cabinet makers in Colorado Springs, CO, but no immediate matches for a professional named Rich Davis. To find a cabinet maker, you can use resources like Yellow Pages or Yelp to locate local businesses, or you may need to search for cabinet makers individually if you have a specific person in mind.

I was in business and without trying I had a big web presence, and still do from reviews on various web sites and from the Facebook page I used to market the business and connect to current and new potential customers. I just googled Moscheck Meat Michigan and came up with two pages of info."

Ahem, er, ah,  Jim...You don't realize that Rich Davis is an artist, hence the business name "Artistic Woods", and he takes referrals only by appointment. The tip off, other than the name "Artistic" is the location being that of Colorado Springs, Colorado, known for its connoisseurs of fine woodwork. 

I happen to watch the rodeo channel from time to time and it occasionally features Colorado Springs, Colorado. It's obvious they prefer their barns done in fine cherry wood of exquisite design and execution. So, given the extent of the stalls and their contents, and for photovisual effect on TV, the barns themselves assume a priority status rather than the "contents" themselves. This is where Rich comes in and sanitizes it all for TV so the focus is on the artistic nature of the wood rather than nature itself, if you get my meaning...

My guess is that he's a handyman and takes pickup jobs when he can get them. Nothing wrong with it but he, of course, needs to be more forthright in what he actually does.
