The age of not so happy times

Not long ago, a Charlie Kirk comment could cost your job or land you in jail. But Rob and Michele Reiner’s killing is TDS and acceptable. They were deranged. Did you read Reiner’s Kirk comments?

For 15 years, Republicans and Trump have promised a new health care plan. And now it’s finally here. ACA subsidies are eliminated and SNAP is cut to the bone. Millions will lose health care. Republicans’ core value: life should be hard and cruel. John Joyce voted for this. Will he meet with these constituents? Tell these working people why?

Democrats put forward a War Powers Act to prevent actions in Venezuela without congressional approval. Joyce voted No. What do you think? It’s not drugs, it’s regime change and oil. Iraq anyone? Any different than Putin and Ukraine? I thought MAGA meant no foreign entanglements.

Unemployment is now at 4.6%. Long term unemployment (27 weeks) has risen from 1.4 to 1.9 million. Highest since the pandemic. Blue collar jobs are disappearing; 65,000 per month. Jerome Powell says job growth numbers are overstated. Hiring is frozen. Ask new grads.

Soon we will have a golden Trump ballroom larger than the White House, an Arch De Trump. The Trump Kennedy Center, the Trump Institute of Peace, Trump Battleships, Trump Rx, Trump Meme Coins, Trump Accounts and no health care.

Happy times? We are led by a madman with delusions of grandeur. This list could be longer, but for the 250 word limit.
