EmmetK Posted November 24 Author Posted November 24 And speaking of polls.... Hot off the press: A new CBS poll out today found A Majority of Americans Approve of Trump Transition CBS News poll finds Trump starts on positive note as most approve of transition handling https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-poll-trump-transition-cabinet-picks-2024-11-24/ "President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration starts off with mostly good will from the public: a majority of Americans overall are either happy or at least satisfied that he won and are either excited or optimistic about what he'll do as president. Trump's handling of his presidential transition gets approval from most Americans overall and brings near-universal approval from his voters, along with a net-positive response about his selections for Cabinet posts, in particular, Sen. Marco Rubio, who is Trump's pick to be secretary of state. After inflation and the economy so dominated the election, Americans are more inclined to think his administration will bring down prices for food and groceries rather than raise them, and his voters overwhelmingly say that. Going into the election, his backers expected that, too." This election laid bare the Democrats big lie that they've worked hard to spread through intimidation and control of information: that a solid majority of Americans approve of their socialist, authoritarian, anti-American identity politics. Biden's demented debate performance validated to independents everything we've been saying about him for years. Americans are jumping on the Trump train in record numbers. Get on board now before it is too late. If you snooze, you lose! TRUMP2024 MAGA stevenkesslar 1 Quote
Members stevenkesslar Posted November 24 Members Posted November 24 43 minutes ago, EmmetK said: CBS News poll finds Trump starts on positive note as most approve of transition handling One of the most emotionally satisfying things about being a Biden/Harris supporter is how they increased the net worth of typical Trump voters. I'm hoping you shared in the wealth, @EmmetKruelty. Middle class and working class Americans who voted for Trump, and especially those who own homes, saw their net worth skyrocket under Biden and Harris. Even a cruel, fact-free MAGA true believer like @EmmetKrulety can't deny that. So I am glad middle class and working class Republicans, not to mention Trump's billionaire donors, are now feeling better about their own finances. Now we don't have to hear Trump rant about how a 33 % increase in the average American's net worth is awful. Now we can just feel good about how much better off our net worth is than in 2020, when Trump was fired. There are, of course, the younger and Latino and Black voters who did not feel the joy. They are pissed about rent and mortgage rates. Help is on the way. As the fact-free @EmmetKruelty keeps explaining to us, tax cuts for billionaires always make rents and mortgage rates lower. In fact, tax cuts for billionaires and corporations fix almost every problem the working class has. But I might be a little concerned about a few things: Pretty much every Republican who favors tariffs says they will make prices go up, but the pain is worth it. I'm guessing most Trump voters who say they favor tariffs haven't really dove into those policy details. So if 44 % of voters expect Trump to lower prices, this could be a problem. Especially because the only mandate Trump has, according to the Harris poll, is to end inflation and stop price increases. 68 % of Americans say that is their best hope for what Trump does. So it's not hard to see how this one could end badly. Here's hoping. That also could end badly, quickly. Rand Paul is obviously reading the polls. Having armed soldiers deporting house keepers is not what America wants, or voted for. But it is what Trump or his most extreme ass kissers have said they will do. Buckle up for a bumpy ride, folks. Paul also read the polls that clearly show, when given a choice, about 55 % of voters prefer some middle-of-the-road plan that includes deporting rapists and murderers and criminals, and giving house keepers and farm workers a path to stay and work and maybe become citizens. If you only ask one side of the equation, most people will say yes. Yes, deport people. Yes, give people a path to citizenship. When you ask both, Paul's point is correct. People prefer moderation and compromise to extremism and cruelty. Will Trump seek to unify America, or divide us more? Inquiring hearts want to know. And it's just bad news for Trump that people see him as a threat to democracy. This reinforces the Harris poll, which showed that the worst fear of Democrats and Independents is that Trump will act like a dictator. Why would anything think that? I mean, when Biden won by 7 million votes, they had a Day Of Love and handed flags to cops, before they beat them with flag poles. We love cops. What is the problem? The math above is very clear. 57 % of Republicans think Democrats are a threat to democracy,. Why? Because we do crazy shit like win elections by 7 million votes, and concede when we lose by a few million votes. Would we be less scary if we had a Day Of Love, and cracked open the skulls of a few cops? Hang Tim Walz? If 65 % of everyone feels threatened, simple math says way more than 65 % of Democrats and Independents feel Trump is a threat to democracy. What a mandate! That is scary. But I am sure glad Republicans are feeling better about the huge spike in their net worth, thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. No need to thank us Democrats. Just do some good stuff for the working class, who are absolutely counting on tax cuts for billionaires to help them pay the rent. Quote

Trump left office after he and cruel, failed Tom Homan opened the borders to fentanyl and saw an unprecedented spike in tens of thousands of Americans dying of drug overdoses. Biden and Harris reversed that trend, after Trump and Homan completely failed and just brought much more death. Do you agree every member of Congress should be required to hear the death screams of the tens of thousands of Americans that died of fentanyl, due to Trump and Homan's incompetence? Do you agree Congress should require Trump to shut down his fat cat crypto donors from providing the clearest path to hide the dark web money in fentanyl trafficking, by using crypto?

If you are a billionaire. Estimated benefit to the top 1 % of his tax cut for billionaires is about $250,000. And it may not be to the bank. It may be crypto. The fat cat crypto donors love Trump, and how he will deregulate. And maybe even let them use taxpayer money as their crypto piggy bank. Kind of like W. let the subprime lenders and Wall Street run amok. What could possibly go wrong? Crypto is how fentanyl traffickers avoid capture, because it makes it easy not to track the money flow. We had an almost 50 % spike in drug overdose deaths during Trump 1.0, from 2017 to2020, thanks to failed incompetent Tom Homan. Now the crypto traffickers will probably be set loose. What could possibly go wrong? You can take that to the bank. Or to the mortuary. PROMISES MADE. "Tom Homan will close the border and get fentanyl trafficking under control" PROMISES KEPT. "Tom Homan delivers almost 50 % increase in American drug overdose deaths." "Tom Homan made America safer by getting tens of thousands Americans killed."

LOL. Just kidding. You specialize in cruelty. Analysis? LOL. Give me a break. Truth? LOL. My stock market geek nephew predicted while we are at dinner in Chicago in September that we would have a recession in six months. I guess accurate predictions run in my family. 😉 At the time, all four of us (me + his Mom and Dad) thought Harris had more than a 50/50 shot at winning. So the idea was that Harris, assuming she wins narrowly, gets handed a recession in her first year. May Earth receive her Queen! My nephew is basing his idea on the yield curve inversion, which statistically is even more reliable than Allan Lichtman, the Jew you hate. (He also doesn't like war criminal Bibi, even more reason for you to hate him.) The only time the yield curve was incorrect in predicting a recession was when it inverted in 1966. Or, you can argue it was right but slow, because it predicted a recession in 1969. Every other time, a yield curve inversion (which this time started in 2022) correctly predicted a recession within no more than a few years. My nephew is now walking that prediction back. I made about $20k on paper in the stock market just today, thank you. He and his wife literally became millionaires on Joe Biden's watch thanks to smart investing in tech stocks. Did you notice, by the way, how the stock market soared under Biden much more than under Trump 1.0? Did you notice how Latino men who don't own stocks and have a hard time paying the rent could give a shit what NVDA sold for today? So if I had to bet, I would bet we get a big stock market sugar high from whatever hog feed Trump gives to his billionaire and corporate donors. As well as all that deregulation and stuff they want that takes away workers' and unions' rights. If you notice, despite a great stock market in 2017 and 2018, Trump's tax breaks for billionaires, sexism, and awful incompetent rule led to a wipeout in 2018. And 2020. Poor cruel loser! At least now you get to enjoy your cruelty while you can. Meanwhile, maybe Tom Homan can manage another 50 % spike in American drug overdose deaths, like he did in Trump 1.0. Maybe we will get a recession in 2025, as the yield curve is saying we should. Or maybe it will be like the late 60's, where Trump manages to kick the can down the road for a year or two by blowing up the deficit even more. What to expect from the markets under Trump Quote Highly leveraged loans and private equity investments are a hazard of course, given that Trump will probably roll back an already lax regulatory environment at a time when these assets are becoming a bigger part of the portfolios of pensions and retail investors. Quote This, coupled with an expected scaling back of bank capital increases, is one of the things that has Better Markets president Dennis Kelleher worried. “I think we’ll get a two-year sugar high under Trump but down the road, we’re looking at a potentially catastrophic correction — something much worse than [the financial crisis of] 2008. That’s because we have a financial system that is essentially extractive.” Quote Crypto is another potential trigger. It may have no inherent value, but Columbia University law professor Jeffrey Gordon worries that as real-world assets and liabilities are increasingly denominated in crypto, it will have a channel into the real economy. “Stablecoins can dive substantially below par,” Gordon says. “We’ve seen this movie before, with prime money market funds.” But if there is a liquidity crisis in crypto, there is no lender of last resort. You would just see a lot of imaginary value disappear, leaving real-world collateral calls and financing shortfalls. I posted this article from FT already. I think it nails how Trump 2.0 is likely to go bad, just like W 2.0 did. When you cater to billionaires like Elon Musk and corporate and Wall Street donors, and let them do whatever the fuck they want, bad things tend to happen. What a shock! My guess is crypto will be to Trump 2.0 as subprime and derivates were to W. 2.0. But it is way too early to guess how Trump will fuck it up this time, like he did in Trump 1.0. But one thing is reliable. @EmmetKruelty will always offer us truthful and well researched critical analysis. And all the truth and kindness he manifests will lead to glory and victory for MAGA, just like in 2018 and 2020. LOL. Just kidding. You are cruel, and you will come here to offer cruelty. And lots of it. You get 0 % credit for Trump's narrow victory, and 100 % credit for the cruelty that will lead to the same outcomes as 2018 and 2020. You seem to especially love being cruel to transgender children, Black women, and many elements of the LGBTQ community - except rich White Gay men who support Trump. Why are you so cruel? I, on the other hand, will happily profit if Trump manages to continue Biden's bull market for another year or two with huge deficits, billionaire sugar highs, and dodgy crypto dealings with Elon Musk. Prediction: when the crypto bubble collapses, all those young men who love Elon and voted for Trump may change their minds about deregulated capitalism.
