THIS IS A “BIG FUCKING DEAL” From today’s Heather Cox Richardson’s substack, Letters From An American: “Economic analyst Steven Rattner reported today that according to The Economist, since the end of 2019 the American economy has grown about 8%, while the European Union has grown about 3%, Japan 1%, and Britain not at all. Rattner and economist Brendan Duke reported that entrepreneurship in the U.S. is booming, with 5.2 million “likely employer” business applications filed between January 2021 and December 2023, more than a 33% increase over those filed between 2017 and 2019. Economists Justin Wolfers and Arin Dube noted that, as Wolfers wrote, “[f]or the first time in forever, real wage gains are going to those who need them most.” Wages have gone up for all but the top 20% of Americans, whose wages have fallen, reducing inequality.” I would love to know if anyone has seen this report from any of your news outlets? I’m waiting. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-18-2024

I think they should seize Mar-a-Lago and use it to house immigrants and the homeless.

I hope this is the beginning of karma

-he bragged about "grabbing them by the pussy" and E Jean Carroll gets a judgement in her favor

-he's stiffed so many contractors/working people and he can't get anyone to front him 1/2 a million dollars

The Bible says "you reap what you sow". Others call it Karma. Whatever it is, he's earned it.

My hope is that US Intelligence will feed some incorrect info to tfg and then monitor international chatter to see which enemy bought the bogus info.

He doesn't need the security briefing. He's been president already.

Biden doesn't need to do a big announcement. Just don't brief the guy.

“Oooo what a Lucky Man he was” Emerson Lake & Palmer. If you know the song, it ends: “no money could save him, so he lay down and he died”.

This is why employers do credit checks to ensure prospective employees aren't security risks to the company. Trump is a security risk to THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY!

Has anyone asked why he doesn't try to get it from his son-in-law? At whom the Saudis are throwing billions at?

That first picture - with his too dark makeup dripping into his small, piggy, red rimmed eyes - is priceless!! Thank you!

Well thank you for the cheerful news. Fani Willis will have to confiscate his properties. We can bid on the properties for $1.00 then donate them for housing all those in need of shelter.

First I want to see his criminal name ripped off the building in Chicago. It blights our beautiful river front!

Perhaps, folks, it is time to start a letter-writing campaign to President Biden to put the kibosh on the Orange Menace's national security briefings. I am doing my letter after lunch.

Don’t ya just love how the dipshit who gave tax breaks to billionaires can’t get a bailout from billionaires? It’s just too delicious. Schadenfreude with fava beans and a nice Chianti.

If he doesn't pony up on Monday, I'm popping champagne. It's as good as a conviction.

However, Derepaska and Klimnik (the third runner of the troika, Pregoszhin, is no longer available) may pony up, and Manafort is the forerunner. It won't just be polling data handed over this time.

It is almost impossible to count all the small businesses and families this turd has totally ruined by refusing to pay his bills. Man of the people? Friend of the little guy? Yeah, right.

As I mentioned before, I'm very proud of my Dad. He took a meeting with the Idiot in the late 80s with a firm that he (my father) was freelancing for. The firm was bidding on doing work for the Idiot. My parent walked out of the long meeting and said to the firm, "Count me out. That guy's a BS artist." The firm should've listened. They went ahead alone anyway. Guess who didn't get paid.
