The trouble is, there's seventy-four million of them. Stick a fork in us, we're done. :(

According to the media and radical left, Trump is a very mean bad man.
So why is he the only politician who donated his salary during the covid shutdown?

It’s genuinely sad to see that Trump, one of the few politicians that genuinely cares about us, supposedly lose an election because half the nation believed their TV sets

There but for a single letter spelling alteration lies the TRVTH.

Chances are, a government can raise money more easily in a boom than it can in a bust.

Actually, no.

When in boom times the government competes with other borrowers
thus raising interest rates on all other borrowers and ultimately forcing
some of the other out of the market when they cannot pay those rates.
Government borrowing in boom times acts as brake on economic growth.

When in a bust, people who loan money become afraid that they will not
get their monty back and either will not lend or lend to people who they
feel certain they will get their money back in time. Governments have a
rather unique asset in that they can tax almost anything. Thus people
who lend see them as safe places to lend money.

Not only can government borrow money cheaply during a bust, they can
also pay much less for projects and hire people for less than in a normal
economy. But it comes at a price, money spent by the government shortens
the bust. Likewise, if government payed off its debts during boom times,
the money flowing back into price loans extends the boom.
 
Trump the grifter

The price of a room for Tuesday night at the Trump I’ntl DC is ten times the price of its rooms on an average Tuesday night ($460—> $4600).

None of the other 5-star (or even 4-star) hotels within walking distance of the Capitol Mall have even doubled their prices.

ETA
Prices on their website for Jan 4-6 are $1600, $4600, and $4600. But they are running a special: all three nights for $3000.

Kevin Sorbo isn't known for his acting skills. And now we know why he's also not known for his intellectual skills.

He's not wrong to decry television, though: having seen Andromeda I can safely agree that TV is nothing but a spewing of nonsensical crap and ought to have been stopped.

What a great humanitarian Trump is ... just as long as you don't count the $Millions he has taken by both legal and illegal means as a result of his holding the presidency.

Yeah, we will now have to create a new medal to honor Americans who have made great contributions to this country, Trump had degraded the Presendential Medal of Freedom beyond all repair.

Trump to give Reps. Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes Presidential Medal of Freedom

Our only hope is that in the middle of the awards ceremony, Trump wanders off in a stupor.

From: NY Mag
Trump wasn’t able to fully commit to his final Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony. After giving the highest award a civilian can earn to wrestler Dan Gable...the president bailed on the ceremony a bit early, leaving Gable alone and more than a little confused

It would appear the easiest way to turn the event into a shambling wreck would be to insult Diaper Don on Twitter just before he went on stage (or wherever they do this kind of thing). Then (what is left of) his brain will be on something else entirely, and he will likely use the available microphone to launch yet another meaningless diatribe about how he really won the election BIGLY, etc. And forget why he was there and not give the two suck-asses their ju-ju beads.

Well, Mr Sorbo did have four strokes, which may have affected his thinking...

And as for Andromeda, have you seen how the showrunner who left, meant it to end? :eye-poppi

Can those medals be revoked?

According to Wikipedia:
"In 2015, in response to questions about the medal awarded to Bill Cosby in 2002, after the truth about his sex offenses came out, President Barack Obama stated that there was no precedent to revoke Presidential Medals of Freedom."

What they should do is create a brand new Medal/Honor (Presidential medal of being an awesome guy), but keep the old Medal of Freedom around.

Then, Democrats can give the new medal to anyone who is actually a decent person, and give the Medal of Freedom to various republicans, as well as serial killers, con artists, etc. Really let it be known how much in contempt we find people like Nunes, Jordan and Lympthnode.
