Who ever wins the election, will have an economy tailwind

I guess that say's it all.  Enjoy that SD cuisine and fine dining.  Points are just rent in low cost housing.
Thanks

And apparently you want to be the slum lord...well, God bless your heart.

For the non-fans of the orange debacle, it's fascinating how much pure fiction, how many quotes that are absolute bulls**t, how many times his people like Tulsi and Vance wince when confronted with their boss' psycho-babble, are just...uninteresting to his fan club.

They shrieked and stomped about the lies from the dnc's stooges, but they have no issue with their liar-boi.

They just wave away references to the constant arrogant, childish, petulant rhetoric from that clown...and it's constant...but, will sit, seething with their chosen FOXMAX echo chamber propaganda outlet, at any slight from the adversaries.

It's a helluva thing to watch from the sidelines, and I just wonder...as at least half of the cabinet picks seem to be based on "DUMBEST POSSIBLE IDEA" standings...is it just about upsetting people? I know the babble is "he's an outsider, and he'll upset the status quo!"...but, that's bulls**t, he rubbed elbows with many "swampers", and appointing potential human traffickers, TV fraud shills, and obvious toadies is just setting up his own "echo inner circle".

Gaetz was an obvious disaster as an appointee, glad it played out early. Oz is the face of every fake diet pill in infomercial history, more than his surgical history. It's just...so strange, AGAIN, from the bleacher seats....

This is the stuff that keeps you up at night Z?

Dr Oz is appointed to head Medicare and Medicaid.  Quick...without looking...who's the current head of Medicare and Medicaid?  Yea..I don't know either.

I have 3 theories on the Gaetz nomination;
1) Obviously, Trump is looking for a loyalist bulldog for his AG in the like of Obama's "wingman' Holder or Garland for Biden.  Let's face it, our intelligence agencies need some shaking up and get back to their primary roles
2) There's (non-criminal) incriminating stuff in the House investigation of Gaetz.  I say non-criminal because the Justice Department would have certainly charged one of their biggest critics in Gaetz if they had the goods.  This way, Gaetz can resign without the information coming out.  There's lots of dirt in these investigations over the years that has been buried as a member is no longer in office.
3) Related to the above, I'm not sure Trump didn't use the above information to throw out a stalking horse to get shot down.  The Dems know they don't have control and can't block many nominations.  This gives them one high profile one.  They know they can likely only press one or two more.  It didn't take long before they announced Bondi...the Queen of "chad gate".  Al Gore is still screaming that she cost him the election.

Again, for a guy that has beat the drum of small government for as long as I've been on these boards...I'm not sure why you're not a little more happy that there's some movement in that direction.  It may end up like Reagan's Grace Commission with not a lot to show for it...or it might just be transformational.  It'll be interesting to find out.

I'm just observing all the happenings...

Look, I dont want this administration to fail. We need it to succeed. I just hope the benefits he "may bring" isnt accompanied with going medieval on groups in our country already marginalized. And I am not talking illegal immigrant criminals. 

As far as the nominees to-date, Gaetz was a disaster from the get-go, especially as an AG. ZERO chance, killed by the Republicans themselves.  

I dont know if Hegseth will make it through or not. There are times where I have to wonder if the qualifications these people possess for a position are skills/job based or is it solely about loyalty and ability to disrupt?

"Assumed" smaller government, because...the gop supposedly wanted that for generations, accomplished the opposite, and now they're headed by the most constant liar I've ever witnessed. You're assuming his word is worth something, I'm pointing out how often that it's not.

Not keeping me up at night, but I wanted to explain some of my viewpoint. It's genuinely very interesting to me that people who hissed and snarled over the lies and hypocrisies of the dnc for years/administrations are empowering (again) a completely shameless liar/hypocrite, and have ushered in an era of the gop where the shrieking whackos like MTG, Elon, Lake, etc, have replaced the former captains of industry and the like from the previous version.

It's almost worth doing a psych paper on, but the expenses and time for the needed travel/interviews would be terrifying.
