    At no point does any lefty go “Hey, maybe the reason the conservatives thought Jan 6th was ok was the 6 months of violent riots we engaged in, including fireboming federal buildings and police stations and attacking the whitehouse so severely that the president and his family needed to be sent to underground bunkers for their protection? And then our friendly DAs didn’t prosecute most people for their involvement?”

    Nope. just came outta nowhere! Don’t those conservatives realize nobody is above the law?










  • All the doctored numbers are saying the economy is great, inflation is great, employment is great.

    It’s not true, and anyone who actually lives on planet earth and doesn’t have their butler doing the shopping knows it.

    I expect that the moment a party the bureaucrats don’t want to prop up is fully in power the numbers will reflect reality and magically suddenly everything will be horrible oh my god the numbers are saying the world is ending and it’s all Trump’s fault!

    I might sound conspiratorial, but if you have a situation where in 11 of 12 months there are downward revisions on data that the government and central banks really need to be better to justify what they want to do, I think that is inherently suspicious. Given that something absurd like 80% of political donations go to the presently outgoing party, I feel there’s a reasonable expectation of where the bias is coming from.

    I’ll say I could be wrong, maybe everything really is fine and all the numbers will continue to be great in February, but every signal that doesn’t have duct tape over it is screaming massive recession and yet the numbers keep showing everything is awesome. It’s like if you tape your speedometer at 55, it doesn’t mean you’re not doing 90, and you can hear the motor revving, you can see everything moving faster, you can hear the wind rushing up against the windows, but the gauge says 55 so you must be going 55!

    Consumer debt levels are going crazy, the yield curve has been inverted for a while now, house sales are crashing in some key markets, auto sales are way down, there are mass layoffs at many companies, but according to the number line goes up.
