Except Gaetz, who is now the moral floor for the GOP.
I considered adding the phrase "that come to a vote" to my first sentence but didn't bother. Gaetz was so laughably unfit and unqualified that he doesn't even count, imo. He was a sacrificial lamb to give Senate Pubs moral cover to confirm the remaining shitshow nominees. Even so, Pub pols are so beholden to Trump that I think a confirmation vote for Gaetz would have been close.
 
And I was responding to a poster who said it was "completely false" that Biden's 5.25T in additional spending was in any way inflationary. Of course it was.
You are such an idiot. I never said that spending during the Biden presidency was not in any way inflationary. I'm on the record here multiple times about the causes of inflation and yes stimulus contributed to it, but in a secondary or even tertiary way compared to other causes. You are the one who said Biden's spending caused inflation.

We can put this to rest once and for all. Do you agree that 1) Trump's spending contributed to inflation in the same way Biden's did, and 2) those spending policies were lesser causes as compared to supply chain disruptions combined with the shift in preference from services to consumer goods? If so then we are in agreement.
 
This seems like something you convey in private; otherwise, it seems to invite Trump to kick you in the nuts because you've telegraphed you've got no choice but to stand there and take it with a stiff upper lip ...
Jeremy Hunt worked for Liz Truss. He doesn't have the UK's best interests at heart.
 


“I’ve left instructions. If they do it, they will be obliterated, there won’t be anything left and they shouldn’t be able to do it. And Biden should have said that but he never did. I don’t know why. Lack of intelligence perhaps …”

Ahem. FLASHBACK

Um, Trump, your instructions would be meaningless if you were dead. Talk about lack of intelligence. I am so tired of this mook.

Good point

And as an aside:

Basically saying that Gaza is a demolition site and that we should find them some nice pieces of land elsewhere and build them some nice, habitable new spaces to live. Implies that other wealthy Muslim countries should pay for it.

Stepping all over his envoy’s conciliatory message:

This is exactly what a number of us have opined for 6-12 months, only to have magas and Good Germans claim we’re hysterical for believing the words coming directly from ttump’s mouth.

Seems the resident ttump soothsayers aren’t exactly prescient.

“… Mr. Trump made the comments to reporters shortly before hosting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel at the White House to talk about the next stage of a cease-fire in the Gaza war. Speaking in the Oval Office while signing executive orders, Mr. Trump said he wanted Jordan and Egypt to take in the Palestinians.

“They have no alternative right now” but to leave, Mr. Trump said of Gazans. “I mean, they’re there because they have no alternative. What do they have? It is a big pile of rubble right now.” He added: “I don’t know how they could want to stay. It’s a demolition site. It’s a pure demolition site.”

Mr. Trump seemed to indicate that he wanted to find a permanent new homeland for the Palestinians rather than reconstruct Gaza. “If we could find the right piece of land, or numerous pieces of land, and build them some really nice places with plenty of money in the area, that’s for sure,” he said. “I think that would be a lot better than going back to Gaza.” …”

Great. Now he wants to use US tax dollars to buy off Gazans to give Israel land. No thanks. We've given Israel more than enough.

If it was such a no brainer why didn’t the last administration declare the cartel a terrorist organization as all hell was breaking out on the border with human trafficking and fentanyl? No, Biden was more interested in REMOVING the Houthi Rebels from having that designation - and that sure worked out well.
Whose Secretary of State was this?

Trumps views are so simplistic and that’s why he’s an idiot.

Let’s just buy them another place of land and let them live there. Where? That’s their home. I know is demolished now but is it just going to be demolished forever?

It’s just like “let’s make it better for everyone. Let’s just give them a new a spot.”

Beyond idiocy.
 
"Keir Starmer should not retaliate if Donald Trump hits the UK with trade tariffs, the former chancellor Jeremy Hunt has warned, with ministers braced for the president’s latest round of economic measures.

The former chancellor told the Guardian the UK did not have enough economic firepower to start a trade war with the US, hours after Trump began one with China.

... “But our … goods exports to the United States account for less than 0.5% of US GDP. So we should be very realistic, we don’t have any leverage when it comes to that.” ..."

Jeremy Hunt is a Tory who wants the UK government to fall. He doesn't care if he draws a map and instruction plan to Trump to make the UK hurt, as long as the Conservatives regain power in the ashes.
