Quote

In any case, by far, the worst policy choice Trump made relating to inflation involved his handling of the Federal Reserve.

 

[snip]

For decades, presidents understood this and took pains to safeguard the Fed’s independence. When Trump was president, though, he threw this tradition out the window — by threatening to fire the Fed chair after rate hikes and by trying to install his political lackeys on the Fed board.

Yep. I've argued this here many times.

Vivek committed the names of a few provinces in Ukraine to memory before the debate and really wanted to prove that he was smarter than everyone else because of it.

cabinet of losers is awesome

[Tiger337]

The idea that Trump is going to cheat in 2024 using tactics that he accused the Democrats of using is not news.  I've assumed along that he's going to try it. In fact, he most likely tried it in 2020.

As a registered voter in the State of Iowa, I resent this.

I don’t think it was nefarious intent. She’s just too stupid to know it’s not how you do it.

I agree with both takes. Still, running for the country’s highest office, how does the DeSantis campaign not walk that back, and quickly?

I still resent this. So badly handled on so many levels.

Maybe nefarious would be the wrong word, but it still displays that people as close to Desantis as his SO have a fundamental misunderstanding that elections are not just some kid of carnival cupie doll midway contest to win by any sleight of hand means possible.

I don’t get that. What’s the idea behind it? Do they think overtly outlawing abortion is a bridge too far, but 15 days, that’s OK and will get them votes from pro-choice people? Or is this more an in-your-face gesture to tweak Democratic lawmakers for a goof? You know, like, “You want your dead babies, you Demon-rat socialist terrorists, here you go, have fun, ha ha ha”?

Well, you can’t say he didn’t warn us in his projecting way.
