US stocks now down since Joe's last day in office.
I was promised a new American golden age.
Stock Market rise is directly correlated with Fed easy money policies, Treasury issuance, and Government/corporate largesse along with transfer payments. There was no golden age, it is all fake then, and now. At least there is some attempt to clean up the corruption. Those that decry the effort benefit from the status quo.
JV Dance is prepping America for Trump defying court orders and grabbing complete power from the 3rd coequal branch. This is not new. Dictators aren’t content with criminal immunity from prosecution. They want to rewrite what is legal and what is not. In the US judges do that.
But Vance isn’t even smart enough to remember that Judge Cannon (Judge) placed a court order on Garland (AG)not to release the Jack Smith report.
Vance
”If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.”
An invader and the invaded. An oppressor and the oppressed. The oppressor does 90% of the killing.
Looks pretty black and white to me.
Russia invasion of Ukraine nearly 3 years:
Children Killed: The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reported that 1,957 children have been killed or injured since the escalation of the war in 2022. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine confirmed that at least 579 children have been killed as of January 8, 2025. Women Killed: According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, 2,992 women have been killed since the start of the war up to January 8, 2025. Journalists Killed: As of May 16, 2023, at least 17 civilian journalists and media workers had been killed in the line of duty since the Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014
Gaza in 15 months (less in these numbers):
18,000 children killed by January 15, 2025,
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 169 journalists and media workers were killed in Gaza, the West Bank, by February 7, 2025.
Those Russia-Ukraine figures seem low to me given the current cumulative fatality estimates (not the journalists/media worker figure). Comparing the Hamas-Israel conflict and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is not easily done because of the different demographics amongst other things, and issues with the ways the numbers of deaths are ascertained. I think we should just say that both have resulted in a large loss of life and leave it at that. They are both large conflicts in the context of the world today, as with the current crises in Africa (Sudan for example and talking of the total fatalities there). Also just curious as to why we're leaving men as a category out of this, seeing as they sustain the largest % loss in war.
If your point is that a lot of children have died in either conflict then yes, I agree.
To be honest, the numbers are horrifying whichever way you look at it.
My point is obvious with the numbers provided.
Israel killed far, far more Kids and journalists in Gaza in 15 months than the Russians have in Ukraine in 3 years.

He’s not wrong about a judges role.
He is wrong about what constitutes the executive’s legitimate power.
The executive’s power has limits. The court is there to define those limits.
JD is being cute with words, because he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else. Ted Cruz does the same stupid sh*t.

So is the women number civilian only or civilians plus forces? Where's the men's number - civilian and non-civilian? Hundreds of thousands of people are being missed out. If we are comparing, for some unknown reason, only children, then yes, the number killed in Palestine exceeds the number killed in Ukraine. If we compare 2024 figures including the estimates of everyone who died, the figure is higher for Russia-Ukraine than for Israel-Palestine. If you compare average yearly deaths since the start of the conflicts you get MARKEDLY different figures with hideously higher ones in Europe. It's not a competition for which is worse.
It is absolutely hideous how many children have died in Gaza and the figure is huge.
I don't know why you're trying to compare and contrast or cherry-pick a category to bolster an argument. Isn't it enough to say the figures in Gaza are appalling?
It's like you're saying Russia-Ukraine isn't as bad or something. It simply doesn't work like that. And in a way, it actually feels like a minimisation of the situation in Russia-Ukraine to miss out categories, to miss out men (especially when they comprise the vast majority of loss of life).
They are both large conflicts that have resulted in severe loss of life. Both sad. I'll leave it at that.

The US proxy war in Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's terrible.
Israel's genocide has killed far more kids, journalists, women in 15 months than the Russians have killed in Ukraine in 3 years.
I'll leave it at that

Headline starting, "President Trump predicts..." is immediate The Onion territory.
Sane, decent people don't become curious about what comes next. They immediately think how 100% absurd it is to write that about anything that he says.

Correct.
I continue to be right. The intelligent libs have left the thread.
What a good feeling, clearing out the corrupt left cabal. The amount of corrupt spending under the guise of USAID is horrendous. $20M on Iraqi Sesame Street? WTF. A big WTF. And the brainwashed democrats, at this point I'm convinced are bots or are paid propagandists, continue to cheerlead for the corruption while California burns.
Number of Americans who connect "horrific" to run-of-the-mill politician Joe Biden who aren't die-hard Trumpers: Zero.
Really, we looked, like super hard. Still zero.
The Biden admin was clearly horrific.
Biden, of course, was not the shot caller
Censorship
Outlawing protest if in support of Trump (Jan 6th) and, more importantly, opposition to genocide in Gaza
Mandating a jab that did not stop transmission.
Raging inflation.
Genocide in Gaza with US weapons and $.
Proxy war in Ukraine killing hundreds of thousands.
Weaponizing the Justice System.
The Biden family corruption
For starters
Tired of this sh!t but here we go. Trump is literally doing everything you are whining about but its "okay" because he is your guy.
Trump has literally a listed of banned words at executive agencies.
Trump is supporting genocide in Gaza .
Trump has instructed his DOJ to go after people. Not find crime, but find people then make up the crimes.
Inflation was probabl due to covid. It was world-wide and the US, by far, had the lowest.
Trump is convicted felon.
And there are other lies..
Outlawing protests? quit being an idiot. Not even everyone on J6 was charged. Trump had dozens of rallies even when he wasn't running. Biden didn't outlaw those. quit being an idiot.
And far more kids have been killed in Gaza in those 15+ months than anywhere in the world in any conflict in the 21st century. Ditto on the number of journalists
Not entirely correct, more American kids have been killed by fentanyl. Which will be ending soon. MAGA about to lay the smack down on the drug trade. It’s time for conflict in Gaza to end. enough is enough and we are ending it. you are welcome.
