Who appointed the FBI director Wray?

What about the Federal Judge who signed the Mar-A-Lago search warrant? Before people spout off about a weaponized justice department - THINK. A warrant would not have been issued unless the FBI expected to find something. And they wouldn't take such a bold move unless what they expected to find is serious.

Unless this is to remove the focus off the true corruption going on now in the White House.
They will probably find a mean tweet or 2 so you can feel better about something. 6 years still trying to get TRUMP and yet still don’t care about the US having record inflation and suggesting a trillion dollar tax increase. WTF wrong with ya?
windinhishair · 61-69, M
Taxes proposed to more than cover the costs of the infrastructure improvements and climate change measures included in the new legislation will not be inflationary and will fall on businesses and the wealthy. Trump's crimes are being investigated and he will be indicted later this year. Will you continue to support Trump as he is indicted and convicted of multiple crimes before and during his failed term in the White House? @Shaveit

@windinhishair how stupid can you be, when you tax the wealthy and businesses it causes inflation duh.
The rich and the businesses do not pay taxes fines or the cost of labor. That is a direct pass through to you the consumer do the math. When their taxes go up the cost of the product goes up. You raise the minimum wage the cost of the product goes up. You levee fines against a company guess what, if you can’t well the price goes up.
INFLATION!

@Shaveit How stupid can I be? Not as stupid as you, apparently. The Inflation [b]Reduction[/b] Act of 2022 will [b]reduce[/b] the federal deficit [b]AND[/b] address long-standing issues. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill will have a negligible impact on inflation over the next two years. Longer term, reductions in energy costs and prescription costs coupled with deficit reduction should lower inflation.

I'm sure you noted with approval that the Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale prices, dropped 0.5% in July, which reduced the year-over-year inflation rate from the peak in June. So inflation is trending lower, as has been expected.

You could try some research next time. Or not.

@windinhishair I don’t need to read the bogus reports from the Democrats. I know how much money I spend on daily item I know that inflation is over 30% not 8% the average household is spending almost $500 a month more now than when bonehead Biden was forced in the office. But being a mooch you would have no idea what real people pay you in real life. You’re probably one of those people that are happy the gas is down below four dollars a gallon. Hell I’m mad until it gets down below 2 again.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit I understand. You don't need to read information that proves you wrong from a non-partisan budget office set up decades ago and trusted by both Repubicans and Democrats to help Congress understand the impacts of their legislation.

Why isn't inflation up over a bazillion gazillion percent? That would sound better to the willfully uneducated like you, and is exactly as accurate as your bogus 30% number. Just because the cost of your daily hemorrhoid cream and Hostess Twinkie diet is up 30% doesn't mean that real Americans have the same experience.

I'm sure I pay more in income taxes from working than you take in through social security as you mooch off people who work. Will you still be mad until gas prices go negative and they pay you to take it?
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair I don’t believe the lies and the stupidity bred by people like you. If you really had to pay your own way and you found out how much groceries and gas and everything was costing… Get a job get a life
Oh yeah I forgot, go get a vaccine too
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit That's OK. You don't have to believe facts and data by impartial agencies that both Republicans and Democrats trust and that have nothing to do with me. You can continue to wallow in ignorance as one of the takers in the economy.

I have a great job, a great life, and one much more likely to persist due to being vaccinated and boosted. My condolences for your poor life decisions.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair I make a six figure salary and I travel all over the world…
I pay for everything myself. I need nothing. I have a very good life cars trucks motorcycles. I’ve reared three children on my own. With the diversity in my life I can tell you with all certainty that these reports you refer to are absolute bullshit targeted at people with the intelligence of a penis, such as you
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit I see. So you know more than the people who do this for a living and are relied upon by both parties in Congress. Perhaps you should write the reports and base them on......anecdotal information by you, a single person. That should be sufficient documentation to project outcomes over the next decade..

Unfortunately, you may have some material possessions, but you've obviously learned nothing about life. I didn't realize that international travel and cars trucks motorcycles is the culmination and meaning of life. My condolences for reaching your age and remaining willfully ignorant, with no hope of insight or improvement.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair That’s just the point you ignorant SOB the people that are supposed to be reporting this are obviously doing very poorly. And it’s people like you that let them get away with it. I can take a spreadsheet manipulate it and make you believe that you’re making money when people are stealing it right out from under you.
Facts or facts and in the last year The cost of everything has skyrocketed. As I work for a living and pay taxes I can see these things plainly. My children all have jobs, and even my 18-year-old daughter has over $10,000 in the bank she has saved. All of my kids can see the stupidity in government right now.
People like you that mooch off the system that’s what you’re going do is mooch off the system, and try to convince everybody else that life is good. Again, get a job, get a vaccine, get a life.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit Poor triggered Trumper (you ignorant SOB). Of course we have had inflation the past year. That isn't the point. The point is that it is trending downward at the moment, and recent legislation that you falsely allege will increase inflation will not do so according to trusted experts, and will address other issues that are needed, including lowering prescription drug costs. This will help everyone, including many people that are not doing well.

I am glad you can use a spreadsheet. Bravo! At least you have one skill.

I work, all my children work, and we all pay taxes and have lives and are vaccinated and boosted. So we see the same things you and your children do. We're just safer medically. But where we differ is that we use facts and data and rely on experts to help inform our opinions of what the future holds with respect to legislation and technical issues. And those experts say that the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will not increase inflation. based on the actions in the Act.

Perhaps you use an auto mechanic or a food service worker for your personal physician or surgeon, as long as he/she can use a spreadsheet, but people like me will continue to rely on trained medical professionals instead to ensure a better outcome.

Best of luck for your future medical needs. Remember, personal anecdotes carry far more weight than data on everyone in the US and world, and more than the knowledge and experience of medical professionals. And when your physician/mechanic tells you that he must replace your rear calipers, you might want to reconsider using experts.

@windinhishair I never said I supported Trump. However I damn sure don’t support that mush brain in office now. But one undeniable fact that Trump did prove, is that we need to get politicians out of government and put businessman in their place. We had the strongest economy in years and we were one of the most revered countries on the planet during the Trump years. I’d be happy with DeSantis!
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair
You have no idea. If you had any idea about how the world really works, you would know that you’re being shit on by today’s government. And I guarantee you that anyone of my children how do you and all your children put together. My children run multi million dollar companies you can’t even run a multi hundred dollar home life.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit The "strongest economy in years" was the only one to lose jobs (almost 3 million) in the post-WWII era, and Biden has added more jobs every month of his term in office than Trump did in four years. In fact, more people are employed right now than at any time in US history, including under Trump. The deficit ballooned under Trump and the annual budget deficit record was almost three times greater under Trump than any prior president. Biden has now matched the lowest unemployment rate in 53 years. All of these data are readily accessible, but you won't look at it because you know better than to read facts when personal delusion is in effect.

The US was laughed at by our Allies during Trump's failed term, and they are still struggling with supporting the US, not understanding how an authoritarian liar like Trump could be elected by a minority of Americans, and wondering if it could happen again, resulting in minority rule. At least Biden has restored some dignity to the office, and they appreciate that.

Trump's businesses were failures as demonstrated by his multiple bankruptcies, and propped up by criminal behavior. That's why his foundation was dissolved and Trump University failed, resulting in a large judgment against him. A criminal president who lied over 30,000 times is not what we need.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit Your "guarantee" is wrong. But that's OK. I don't need to boast about my children's accomplishments to validate myself, or my children. It is OK if you need to do that. Relying on facts, data, and science is a winning combination along with hard work. I don't need to be a lying, grifting criminal like Trump to have a good life. That you believe this is the appropriate pathway says much about you, and your children.

Best of luck using this approach. It doesn't work over the long run.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair If you have nothing to brag about then you can’t brag it would be a bear faced lie. And those that have to inflate any statement with sentences full of useless bullshit show that they are nothing more than an idiot
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit I agree that your statements are those of an idiot and filled with useless bullshit. I choose not to brag which is different than not having anything to brag about. I understand that you are unable to understand the difference, because you need it to paper over your lack of substance. After all, you have cars. And trucks. And motorcycles. And have traveled internationally. That makes you the best person you could possibly be.
@Shaveit Still desperately defending your cult leader who stole TS/SCI documents because he felt like it. Sold your country for a cheap red hat.
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You’re nothing but a stupid Canadian and you should keep your mouth shut about US affairs. You’ve got your own people to worry about…
Shaveit · 61-69, M
@windinhishair See my previous comment. You did it again. You go doofus.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Shaveit Did you buy another car? Or truck? Or motorcycle? Did that make you a better person than you were a week ago? Maybe you took an international trip to boast about. You are someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, and cannot tell the difference.
