Money Matters
Yesterday Donald Trump laid out his economic vision at the Economic Club of New York. Trump laid out some concrete proposals such as extending the individual tax cuts enacted in 2017 that are set to expire in 2025. He would eliminate the inflationary "Green New Deal." He would end benefits to illegal migrants and deport most of them. He made clear he would aggressively use tariffs to target companies that outsource jobs or do not manufacture products in the United States.
Trump will also create a government efficiency commission, an idea first suggested to the former president by billionaire ally Elon Musk.
“I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with completing a complete financial and performance audit of the federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said. He added that Elon Musk would head the commission.
Trump also committed to return the US to producing an abundance of energy and promised to reduce regulations. He proposed lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% from its current 21% level for companies that manufacture their products in the United States.
Trump's opponent has no details about her price control plan, nor does she have specifics on anything. She avoids questions and has used almost the same speech in all her "rallies." Nor has she received a single primary vote, yet somehow, she has a 50% chance of becoming president of the United States of America. As Donald Trump continues to grant interviews (about 40) and gives details of his economic policy, Kamala Harris has been preparing for her debate with Trump.
In the news:
Hunter Biden makes last minute guilty plea, blindsiding the prosecution and preventing any investigation leading to the Biden family business. He faces up to 17 years in prison. Despite the denials a pardon is likely right after the election.
The father of a 14-year-old accused of killing four people at a Georgia high school this week was charged with second degree murder. A year before the shooting, the F.B.I. interviewed the suspect and his father about whether he had posted threats online.
President Emmanuel Macron (savior of the left in France) appointed Michel Barnier, a conservative, as France’s new prime minister, months after the snap parliamentary elections.
Donald Trump, speaking to New York business leaders, laid out a heavily detailed economic vision of what a second term would be like.
The Obama judge overseeing Trump’s Jan. 6 criminal case set a rapid-fire schedule letting prosecutors present evidence by the end of this month. Separately, the judge overseeing Trump’s Manhattan criminal case plans to rule today on whether to postpone sentencing until after the election. The days of not trying to prosecute political elections are over.
Democrats hope that abortion ballot measures will help their Senate candidates in red states like Montana and Florida, helping the party keep its majority.
Federal agents seized the phones of New York City's Police Commissioner, school's chancellor, and several officials in Mayor Eric Adams’s inner circle. It is not yet clear what investigators are looking for.
Vladimir Putin endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

Trump did what Harris seems incapable of: He delivered an extensive, lengthy policy speech.
He may send Kamala a MAGA hat since she keeps stealing his policy ideas like “No Tax on Tips”.
Only you could think that speech went well for Trump.
Everybody else knows that he made a fool of himself.
He added that Elon Musk would head the commission.
Oh goodie, pair him up with Candace ... they can deny each other.
Donald Trump's appearance at The Economic Club yesterday was an unmitigated disaster. The entire world is laughing at him today...
And somebody like Stephen Miller for AG.
That would be a start.
More likely a wish you never made.
Actually, I'd prefer him to run Homeland Security.
Just dress him up as a scarecrow every Halloween.
Trump was asked a question on affordable child care for American families , and his answer was a combination of -- child care is not that big of a deal, and anyway he is imposing import tariffs on the rest of the world, making America great again.
Every legit (Not Fox) news network is leading with Trump's brain dump word salad catastrophic meltdown yesterday in front of The Economic Club of New York. MAGA cannot peek outside the MAGA bubble...
Legit must be a euphemism for ABC, CNN, MSNBC and RT.
Bloggers.
I seem to recall a failed blogger?
I guess they come, and they go.
Even Fox said - explain what he just said - truth!
Can you give us a link?
No need. It's true.
Ok.
Fox News Host Hits Colleagues With A 'Dare' To Decode Trump's Rambling Answer
I think most leftists get their news from tik tok ‘influencers.’
All much more honest than fox.
A Huff post headline referring to something that might have been said on fox.
Exactly what do democrats feel the government shouldn't provide for Americans?
a second Trump presidency
Let us all pray.
Real conservatives before the fake ones destroy them.
He never claimed to be a Conservative.
Is that a squirrel I should chase?
No, just a fact.
In politics 'facts' are fictions. Try reading George's question again ... the one I replied to.
What part of my question is confusing to you?
Nary a syllable.
I did.
Facts are facts.
Pray?
Still waiting for those.
The last resort of the powerless.
You're the one who said to pray.
Another deflection.
If you are referring to the poster I replied to or to the gold-leafed fella, neither has a relationship with anything other than innuendo.
Not the governments call.
Or should I say Democrats abusing the government's power call.
No matter how much abusive power hungry leftists wish it.
No wonder Xi has Chinese spies literally and figuratively in bed with Democrats- he probably has a hard time telling Democrats apart from his own government.
Leftists wouldn't know a real conservative if one was standing right next to them.
First step look for anyone not buying the BS Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, the Lincoln Project, and every other pos Establishment Republican that thinks four more years of what the Biden/Harris administration has put this country through is acceptable.

I would like you to substantiate that claim. In order to do this, you have to provide a definition of, "...far left wing loons," and show (that means provide evidence of) that the indicted demographic in fact feel, "...zero qualms in aborting their babies on a whim," without resorting to circular logic.
I am confident in your inability to do this.
‘I am confident in your inability to do this. ’
And you, of course, would be wrong.[✘]
So, no, you can't do it.

Some people's momma's should have swallowed.
You were correct. Never a fact or truth to be found from some members.
Is the government going to take that on too.
How much is the national debt right now?
So Trump's ridiculous babbling was his way of saying he doesnt care about the issue of child care?
I will pick his one coherent sentence out of that mess of a reply
Your hero says we "have to have it".
Who said we have to have it?
Was it Bernie Sanders?
In this instance it was Donald Trump.
Unfortunately his long rambling answer to a straight forward question quickly careened out of control.
I'm asking you: Who wants the government (our tax dollars) to provide childcare?
Trump's words yesterday, talking about affordable child care.
You can stop tap dancing now.
Where does he say the government has to pay for it? if you can't afford children don't have them. It's nobody else's responsibility to pay for their poor decisions.
Did he say the government, or rather we all, should pay for it?
Is there a difference between affordable childcare and government assisted childcare?
How's my tap dancing now?
"Means Testing"...
That the working poor need government assistance to afford quality childcare is something both left and right should agree upon. Without some assistance they have no hope of an education, better jobs or hopeful futures for their families...
It is tough when two people are working and they have kids.
A grandparent would know.
I'm not going to answer your dodge questions.
-
Trump gave a barely coherent answer to a specific question, which is what he often does, yet you heap praise on him. Why is that?
As a Harris spokesperson put it yesterday: there is no time to figure out what went wrong over the last disastrous 4 years, “we’ve got to go win an election”.
Trump gave a barely coherent answer to a specific question, which is what he often does, yet you heap praise on him. Why is that?
Because the country needs him.
After that babbling demented word salad, what was the question again?
How can anyone defend the demented loon?
The question was why I heap praise on the bulwark against the radical left?
Yeah that is vance's answer to childcare.
I wasn't talking to you.
What did Vance say about childcare?
That's an odd way to say you can't provide a link.
Don't you know?
You just said Vance had an answer for childcare.
I'm asking what he said.
'A grandparent would know'
No, that is what I said.
That's your answer
The national debt is what far right-wing fascists made it.
Your proof of this is what?
Pretty easy to look it up... Repubs always increase the debt more than Dems do..
You're welcome.
Most of our debt comes from long term entitlement legislation, not a single administration. It’s not hard to learn, look it up.
All our debt came from pussy assed Congress spending way more than pussy assed Congress had the guts to tax us...
Balancing a budget is just math!
Two entirely different entities.
Out of the mouth of babes.
Tariffs are quite inflationary (I wonder if he knows that?)
Trump is ignorant about everything.
Like his cult
She does have an infectious laugh.
Trump has never smiled. All he does is smirk.
And?
or laugh - sign of a socio/psychopath - probably wets the bed too.
Question of the day:
Who has done more interfering in the 2024 election?
A) Iran
B) China
C) Russia
D) Biden's DOJ
D. That's a no brainer.
That's 2 of us for D.
Make that 3
I got you Jim.
It is now 3 for D.
Me too, so it's now 4.
Thank you Sir.
It is now 4 for D.
1 for C.
All others are abstaining.
Make it 5 for D.
Though B is coming up from the rear very quickly with their dark money to Democrats, and spies littered throughout the Democrat party at every level.
Add me to number 4 also but I think the real number is in the tens of millions.
Well that's certainly proof positive.!
If two people on NT (or should I say if two people on the Internet) say that Biden's DOJ interferred the most with the election-- then it must be true!
Maybe we can eventually get 7 or 8--or even 10-- people on the Internet say its-- D!
Then there's no longer any point in continuing this conversation-- it ten people on the Internet agree on something-- there's no point in even discussing it further! It then becomes an irrefutable FACT!!!
c, and the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist, like the last election he admitted to losing and interfering in.
Thank you.
We now have 3 Ds and 1 C.
I think that's actually 3 for D and 1 for fiction and hurt feelings.
I want to know why the DOJ is going hard after "Russia," but does nothing against the country which tried to assassinate Trump and paid protestors to create chaos on university campuses.
They're setting things up, so that in the event Harris loses, they have something to cry about.
But at the same time, it sets it up to appear she had gotten assistance from Russa if she wins. Although it's not like we don't know she needs all the help she can get.
You mean they will again try to delegitimize a Trump victory?
Ya, they will do that at the very least.
They're still trying to do that to the 2016 election.
Trumps buddy Putin is KGB evil and owns Trump.
Pretty sure that's not the president that America needs.
BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson announces House GOP will introduce bill requiring voters to prove US citizenship.
The decision has been made.
Get the popcorn. This is going to be fun to watch the dems try and figure out what to do when they will get the blame for shutting down GovCo.
It will be a long day for Schumer.
I'm curious what the Democrats will claim to fight this bill.
Will it be that people (their followers) are too stupid to get an ID or that it's racist.
Again?
I assume the other time was when Schumer threatened Supreme Court Justices.
So the do nothing republicons continue to do nothing. Like trying to pass unnecessary bills.
How do they do things if the other chamber is controlled by democrats?
So you're OK with having non-citizens vote?
They're not
Yes. Voters for POTUS are American citizens. It's a law.
How the hell do far right-wing fascists think otherwise?
It's just fear mongering on their part.
What a total Dufus!
Another Biden nominee exposed:
No. sen. kennedy is the fool here. The only one looking foolish.
It's become pretty common place that Biden nominees embarrass themselves.

Who's next? Hannibal Lecter?
Putin makes the assumption that his "endorsement" will be a kiss of death for Harris , and he will get his little bro back in office
Oh, I see!
I wish I knew what everyone was really thinking and what they really meant.
That must be a sixth sense.
You claim to do that every day.
If you actually think Putin was sincerely endorsing Harris I feel sorry for you.
It is not about me.
I don't, but I do think it was ingenious the way he said it.
Trump is not the only one babbling. This seed is a waste of time that I am abandoning now.
I thought he was very precise yesterday.
This seed is a waste of time that I am abandoning now.
It is not a seed. It is an article.
I hope you have a good day.
Precise about what exactly??????????????????????
SSDD
Good Call...
ABANDON SHIP!
I always know what you are thinking. It disgusts me.
Far right-wing fascism reminds me of Hitler.
Be specific in what he is thinking right this minute
Not so sure about that. I think this.............
may be more of what he is looking for.....
and when Putin was paying lauren Chen to attack Trump, that was some 4-d chess too?
Putin wants chaos more than anything, and Democrats have done more for him than he could ever have hoped.
He knows she won't stand up to him, knowing she is as much a pushover as Hillary was.
And Biden and Obama..................
Oops..
So the fuck what?
That was after Democrats needed a scapegoat for Hillary losing the election.
Remember these Obama gems?
All because Democrats couldn't except their queen fucked up by not campaigning in fly over country; made her frigging moronic "deplorables" comment; and most importantly was more hated than Trump.
Democrats crowned their queen their nominee by fiat; which they have done every year since 2012.
Democrats think their voters are too stupid, or too sheeple, to figure out who they want to vote for themselves.
You should try reading what I was replying to, then try again.
Oh no😱 35 ? BFD so he told some inconsequential symbolic folks to go home. The horror
Meh, trump would have invited them to the WH.
Harris and Putin are at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
The last thing Putin wants is a Harris presidency.
Putin spent millions to make sure Hillary wasn't elected.
All anti-Harris propaganda can be traced to Putin.
another question and another world salad from Trump.
Projection.
The party of projection - today's gqp
"Unburdened by what has been."
