I Admit I Watched The Speech

Really out of character for me but I did it just for kicks.

I can summarize his speech in 3 words, Biden Did It.

What a pathetic loser, a poor victim, who was hoist by his own petard.

I Wondered If Oil Would Finally Jump In Price

Ukraine has been destroying Russian pipelines, oil tankers, refineries, oil depots, and gasoline has been dropping in central Pa.

I wanted to see the effect of Krasnov's act of war, his blockade of Venezuelan oil tankers out of Venezuela. Well finally I see something that makes a little sense, the price of oil just rose 1%, maybe an all-out war will raise it another 1%?

I understand all about the record supply but I also recall history under a Democratic president when even the mention of a squabble of war in the ME would skyrocket the price of oil. I remember when refineries did their change over blends, or plant maintenance, the price of oil would skyrocket. Our refineries are all finished with that and I didn't see a change.

Maybe Krasnov just makes me paranoid but a big jump in the price of oil will skyrocket inflation.

I Only Had Econ 101, But I See Doom & Gloom

Throw your economics books away, I see Krasnov crashing our economy, most likely on orders from Putin.

The rules for the Fed raising and lowering interest rates are not going to work.

Krasnov beat Powell to a pulp until he gave in, Jerome will continue to lower rates but it will have little effect on the economy. Musk and his Doge cyber-punks have demolished our institutions, gutting them and firing employees. AI is doing the same thing, firing millions of people.

Millions of people lost their jobs, millions more will lose their healthcare, fuck the talk about inflation, fuck the talk about stagflation, people better start talking about deflation. The 1% will never keep up with the demand side of economics, they don't shop at Walmart or Wendy's.

Krasnov has one economic goal, to crash the dollar and that is why he has hounded Powell to lower interest rates, when Powell leaves Krasnov's crony replacement will send rates to zero.

Think the dollar will always be the world's currency, think again.

Oh and there is a move already started to have cyber-currency backed by the dollar, what can go wrong there?

The BRIC countries are working on a basket currency to replace the dollar, it's coming and Krasnov will blame Bidenomics and the MSM will back him up. Happy Holidays.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Is A Lying Piece Of Shit

He flat out states that unwashed Americans are going to get between 1,000 to 2,000 dollars the first quarter of next year.

How is that? Why from the Big Ugly Death Bill's no tax on tips, that not everyone will get, no tax on overtime, and the Big lie, no tax on Social Security.

So Americans are going to get this money and according to Bessent they will take their new found riches and immediately change their W-4 deductions, change their deductions to withhold less, that's how they will make more money next year, meanwhile, rich bastards like him pay less in taxes.

This fucking rich ass moron has no clue what unwashed Americans go through, living paycheck to paycheck. The tariffs, the reduction of interest rates are going to push inflation higher, are going to deflate the value of the dollar to make it more expensive to buy those Chinese products at Walmart. Just wait until gasoline skyrockets.

Fuck you Bessent, you and your rich cronies got the tax breaks not us peons.

The Employment Numbers Are being Fudged, So Says Jerome Powell

The claim that the numbers are bogus is coming from an extremely reliable source.

The bogus numbers are not even close to the real numbers.

The bogus numbers - 40,000 jobs created per month since April.

The real numbers could be - a loss of 20,000 jobs per month, according to Jerome Powell.

Unfuckingbelievable how evil these people are.

Democrats, Think Long & Hard About This Thread. I Have.

If we have a 2028 election, I truly believe, Democrats need to run a non-politician for president, someone who doesn't know shit about Washington is fine and dandy with me.

Presidents Obama and Biden were super presidents who failed to hold Republicans accountable for their crimes.

We need to send a message to Americans, all Americans, those who vote or who don't vote, that our new president will restore justice for all, billionaires and undocumented workers will be treated equally.

I have list of candidates I would like to see run as Democrats, I don't even know if they are Democrats?

Miles Taylor
Sally Yeates
Letitia James
Malcolm Nance

Any former Military officer, former FBI, Former intelligence agent, former prosecutor, former judge, anyone who was terminated by, attacked by, forced to resign by Krasnov,, I am eager to donate and vote for.

Our system is broken, it will take extraordinary measures to fix it.

A Serious Question About Krasnov

Is he more like Homer Simpson or Archie Bunker?

I mean I could only listen to 10 minutes of his "rally," hate fest last night. The guy is mad at everyone,, complains about everything.

I couldn't take listening to his blatant, obvious lying.

His zombie base is the same way.

Krasnov needs to some meditating before bed time instead of hate texting.

He did say something true last night, that Americans are going to have to get used to a lower standard of living.

Homer or Archie?

Oh Dear, About Those Tariffs On "Gina"

China did cut back on exporting goods to the United States, it also cut back on importing goods from the United States. (see 12 billion dollar subsidies given to farmers, or communism.)

The numbers are in, China so far in 2025 had record trade surpluses of over 1 trillion dollars, China simply sold its products to other countries.

Krasnov can thump his chest all he wants about how great his tariffs were but it appears that Xi ate his lunch, and Krasnov calls China, communist.

I Keep Making This Argument About Oil And Gasoline & Keep Getting Shot Down

In today's world I laugh at the "Invisible hand of the Market."

Back when a Democrat was president if someone in the ME even hinted about a war the price of gasoline would skyrocket. Gasoline in central Pa. is as low as I've seen it in years.

Ukraine and Russia aren't just talking about war, they are in a war and the latest strategy for Zelenskyy is to blow up Russian oil depots and refineries that fund the war. Ukraine has also been blowing up oil pipelines, just this month it blew up the Druzhba pipeline that not only supplies Russia with fuel but also Hungary and Slovakia, it pumps 2 million gallons of oil per day.

Krasnov is threatening a war with Venezuela, for oil and yet gasoline prices in central Pa. dropped this week.

Krasnov has taken care of the fossil fuel industry allowing it to drill off Florida and Alaska and other offshore places. Krasnov is giving the Fossil fuel industry our government land to drill on. I think that the fossil fuel industry is thanking Krasnov by keeping gasoline prices from jumping.

Have at me, maybe there is another winter blend changeover to refute me, I just don't get it.
