You've got:

• Tariff and inflation fears pushing people away from casual spending
  
• Essential prices up from the same tariff fears, so less disposable income
  
• Mass layoffs, so more people without disposable income
  
• Threats of war and hostility against major economic allies
  
• Regulatory agencies being un-staffed and re-staffed left and right
  
• Unpredictable executive orders creating fear
  
• Consumer spending strikes being organized in protest of all of the above
  
• International boycotts of our exports

That's a recipe for consumer uncertainty and harm to the stock market. Just like... anyone? Anyone? Bueller? That's right, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which plunged the nation deeper into the great depression.

It'll be interesting to see what the inflation figures are when they're next released in the US. I'm predicting a sharp increase.

Erratic unpredictability is the tactic of a leader with no plan, nor even a concept of a plan, other than 'shock and awe'...

Unfortunately for them, sustained erratic unpredictability becomes predictable and, with that, comes strategies to neutralise its effect.

Even with Musk, Trump's Mouseketeer, who is already in overdraft on his credibility capital, Trump will not escape this predictability.

And with the 'genius' aura that Musk enjoys, comes a huge caveat that even clouded Einstein's: The gods give some things, not all things. While Einstein was a profound genius in specific faculties, he was known to be a loon in others. This also applies to Musk.

The FAFO MAGA people going into meltdown and are #LeavingMAGA had no idea.  They did not cast their votes for Trump with the expectation that he would strip them of their food stamps, destroy their livelihoods, or jeopardise their farms. Yet, that is precisely the reality they now face.

If their devotion to MAGA was so absolute that they existed within an impermeable echo chamber, utterly impervious to warnings of the consequences, can we truly say they were warned? Or were they simply cocooned in wilful ignorance, intoxicated by the rhetoric that fuelled their delusions but a leader who claimed to hate the same people they did?

But regardless of their regret, their suffering, or their belated realisation that they have been deceived, the fact remains, they voted for Trump, and in doing so, they authored their own misfortune.

I have no sympathy for them.

Let them weep into the void of social media, their lamentations mean nothing. Forgiveness is not owed to those who, in their blind allegiance, inflicted harm upon others.

At the end of the day, they had a choice. And they chose wrong.

Is this the reason why Trump chose Red for his hats?

I don't understand the Cassandra thing, but I'm not upset about these idiots finding out, it's glorious.

That’s precisely what sets the Australian MAGA cosplayers apart, the complete absence of a "find out" phase. They are cushioned by a nation that, despite their incessant whining, remains remarkably generous and stable.

The very safety nets and institutions they sneer at protect them from the consequences of their own reckless rhetoric.

In a way, they’re fortunate. But, like all conservatives, this insulation ensures they will never suffer the real-world impact of the policies and ideologies they so fervently champion.

They will never care, because they will never pay the price. Empathy is irrelevant to them, it requires a capacity for self-reflection that simply does not exist in their political worldview.

Just like Jesse Watters and most conservatives:

In short, Trump's tax plan makes the rich richer by taxing them less while making the poor poorer while taxing them more...



Trump’s tax and economic proposals would, in 2026, cut taxes for the richest 5% of Americans and increase them for everyone else, according to an analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP).

On the other hand, as ITEP announced Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris’s proposals would do just the opposite.

If her tax proposals are in effect in 2026, the richest 1% would pay an average of 4.1% of their income more in taxes while those in all other income groups would ­receive tax cuts. That includes an average tax cut of 2.7% for middle class families and an average tax cut of 7% for the poorest Americans.

ITEP looked at what Trump’s tax proposals for a second term in office would do: Extend the temporary provisions in the 2017 tax law that are set to expire in 2025;; reduce the corporate tax rate to 20% and then to 15%; repeal green energy tax credits enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act; and impose a new 20% tariff on imported goods.

By 2026, according to ITEP, the top 5% of earners would see lower tax bills under Trump’s plan, and more specifically, the richest 1% would save about $36,320 a year. That’s more than the annual income of the poorest 20% of families — who, under Trump’s plan, would be forced to pay an additional $790 in taxes a year, or nearly 5% percent of their income. Every other income group would also pay higher taxes, according to the ITEP analysis.

Under Harris’ tax plan, the richest 1% of Americans would see an average tax increase equal to 4.1% percent of their income, and those in other income groups would see tax cuts averaging from 2.7%-7% depending on how much they earn per year.

You get triggered over the opinions and views of others.

That's very different from someone pointing out when you're using literal slurs because you have no argument to counter with.  It's the ultimate white flag.

Despite his cult members getting exactly what they wanted, they've done nothing but whinge & whine since November 5.

but i say, let them cry

The American public had grown very soft and suffered learnt helplessness under previous big government presidents.

What was worse was the smothering mother in Washington played favourites.
Suckling various IN groups and ignoring,especially, young Men.


Trump puts things back to what made America great in the first place.

Rugged individualism.

People may dislike being forcibly weaned but they will realise it's value in the long term

Especially young Men have to man up and solve their own problems.

No woman can do that for a man.
A man who won't take responsibility for himself and think of his family. Village country first is dog excrement.

By forcing men especially to follow his example. To never give up. To have self belief. To view failure as just a setback. To keep being creative even onto your late 70s  Trump is the inspiration the country needs.

People won't listen to the whining sooking naysayers like gweg skip armchair and other soft men.

They are going to man up or they are going to be ignored by the stern father.

The stern father is just what America And every other western country needs.

We must realise the nanny state is over

If that's the price to pay for the Government to provide free tampons to those who need them, sure. 

That was the original policy Walz signed into law.  It mandated that public and charter schools provide free menstrual products in restrooms for students in grades 4 through 12.

The legislation requires schools to supply these products in restrooms "regularly used by students," without specifying gender.

That was it.

This language aims to ensure access for all menstruating students, including transgender and nonbinary individuals.

The law allows individual school districts to develop their own plans for implementation, leading to variations in how schools provide these products.

Some districts have chosen to place menstrual products in all restrooms, while others have opted for distribution through school nurses or in designated restrooms.

So why not apply that to the nation, free tampons for all menstruating Americans who need them?  Sounds like a great idea.

It's funny how you've been told to think of the policy as something it wasn't, so the nickname "tampon tim" could be considered derogatory.

And I was getting dunked on for claiming Trump tells you idiots what to think... haha...

So why not apply that to the nation, free tampons for all menstruating Americans who need them?  Sounds like a great idea. It's funny how you've been told to think of the policy as something it wasn't, so the nickname "tampon tim" could be considered derogatory. And I was getting dunked on for claiming Trump tells you idiots what to think... haha... Do you think any gender other than female menstruate Sadroo?.

It doesn't matter because that was never in the legislation.

"A school district or charter school must provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge. The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district. For purposes of this section, 'menstrual products' means pads, tampons, or other similar products used in connection with the menstrual cycle."

It was to provide tampons to all menstruating students.  It's good policy.  You're trying to make a culture war where one doesn't exist because you think "tampon tim" is a burn.

I shared my perspective based on the hypothetical scenario Leroy presented and directly addressed the misinformation surrounding the Minnesota law, exposing how it was manipulated for the MAGA culture war.

If the facts compel you to reconsider the narrative you’ve been sold, that’s the point.

But I’m no cult leader, I won’t dictate how you should think. I can only provide you with the facts, and what you do with them is entirely up to you.

Only women menstruate. Or give birth and suckle their babies. 
The menarche, the 'first month'  typically indicates that the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, has developed sufficiently to receive the blastocyst from which an embryo and a baby develops.

Boys and men cannot and do not menstruate as they have no uterus.

That's why no legislation ever had to spell it out until 5 minutes ago when the total madness of gender diversity and 'menstruating, lactating, pregnant person' bollocks was invented.

Thank you, Loretta.

A new frontier of human suffering and oppression has been discovered:

Has anyone else experienced Green Hair Dysphoria?

I’m working thru my own hair issues and conflicted about green dye or blue? Shave my head or no? What is my gender? I don’t even know! I need a safe space STAT.

It's interesting that you're compelled to share these distractions in a thread about the negative impacts of Trump's actions on the economy.

There is no greater tell of how worried you are about this Frannie than your reaction to it.

Judge finds mass firings of federal probationary workers to likely be unlawful

A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday found that the mass firings of probationary employees were likely unlawful, granting some temporary relief to a coalition of labor unions and organizations that has sued to stop the Trump administration’s massive trimming of the federal workforce.

US District Judge William Alsup ordered the Office of Personnel Management to inform certain federal agencies that it had no authority to order the firings of probationary employees, including the Department of Defense.

“OPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe,” to hire or fire any employees but its own, he said.

Your life is minimally impacted by who the US President is. Or indeed who the Australian PM is.

But you are deranged and unmoored enough to MAKE your sad, parochial humorless dreary life revolve around such peripheral concerns.  Sad is really the word. Pathetic, ridiculous, obsessive actually. Sad, too, if anyone can muster sympathy for such derangement. But who can??

This is the most powerful 17 second speech ever given by a Secretary of Defense.

This is why do they want to destroy @PeteHegseth  so badly. This is it…

The ultimate Trump effect will be a mass movement of Americans demanding Trump's resignation.

Which will be ironic given that Trump's most admired president is Nixon.

Which, of course, Trump will never do... which will only provide ever-increasing fuel to the movement.

Ultimately, Republican Congressmen and Senators would be terrified into supporting articles of impeachment - if only to protect their own lives.

In a movement as powerful as a national Trump resignation demand would be, Republican congressmen and senators would soon sue for peace after their security costs overwhelm the capacity of the Secret Service and they're forced to pay seven-figure sums for their own security.
