Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs are a great thing, especially in schools. They help special needs students become well integrated into the school population. Way better than the bad old days when these kids were ostracized and made fun of.

Of course, MAGA turns "DEI" into a racial slur. The new n-word. Bless your poisonous hearts.

DEI Hall of Fame disasters:
Harris
lady in charge of US Secret Service
FEMA Administrator
Secretary of Transportation
Assistant Secretary of HHS 
Sam Brinton, the former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy
Military DEI training 

so, you're assuming they are all diversity hires...based on what? the colour of their skin? 

Based on Harris/Biden bragging about DEI initiatives and hires. Harris is HOF DEI hire.

She was elected as DA, AG and Senator.  How does that make anyone a "hire"?  That's called a fucking election.  

Yeah, we know that. Talking about Harris being the VP DEI hire.

Does anyone think they should have made Kamala the “Hurricane Czar”?

Weren't you going to identify the law that created all the worldwide inflation?  The first two your said made no logical sense since one was never passed and the other came after inflation surged. Surely you can't be misinformed yet again....

Build Back Better morphed into Inflation Increasing Act minus some pork to appease Manchin. Everything they did resulted in inflation. Why did they tell us inflation was going to be transitory? Why did prices never return to where they were? Can you ever admit Biden/Harris made 1 mistake? Is Bidenomics working? Is Kamala still proud of Bidenomics?

Prices never return to what they were.  That's called deflation and a sign of a shrinking economy and a terrible sign.  Surely you learned that in college, right?

Second, so again, you are telling us that inflation was zero, but then Biden passed an act and randomly called it the "Inflation Reduction Act" and it caused inflation.  Makes total sense.  If he hadn't called it that, then there wouldn't be inflation either.  

Is Bidenomics working?  That's just a silly political phrase.  I don't care about that.  Is the economy healthy and inflation at 2%, slightly lower than the fed target? Yes.  Yes it is.  Can one attribute it to the laws passed?  Maybe.  You never know.  Presidents are saddled with the economy whether it's fair or not.  But I'm sure you know that too, from your extensive historical studies of cyclical economics and the political ramifications.  

So the administration effectively lied to us when they said inflation was transitory? Is it possible for the first time ever in AMT history a radical liberal could admit their fearless leader might have lied and made an actual mistake. Nah… never could just pivot to it was Jan 6 fault.

Sigh.. The administration is not the one that declared inflation as transitory, it was the Federal Reserve, specifically Jerome Powell.  Do you think the independent fed, bi-partisan appointee "lied" to you, or do you think...maybe they just got this wrong?  You know there's a difference between lying and wrong.  And the Fed has a very difficult role in making monetary policy.  

Powell admits Fed got it wrong on inflation, says they should stop calling it 'transitory'

Groceries are more affordable now than in 2019. So why are prices still such a hot-button issue?

For the average worker, grocery prices are about as affordable as they were pre-pandemic. But the costs are still a sore spot for consumers — and a focus in the 2024 election.

I looked at this "American Greatness" poll of PA. https://cdn.amgreatness.com/app/uploads/2024/10/Tables-PA-Oct-2024.pdf

They gave out a lot of information - kudos.

Registered Voters: Harris +4, Likely Voters Trump +1. How do they determine likely voters? No idea. I'm not a political scientist or anything, but to me, that sounds like it will come down to the ground game. Trumpers, how confident are you in your ground game?

Anyway, if you are anywhere near PA or any swing state, any little bit of volunteering will be hugely crucial. And you can come here and talk about that one magat who yelled at you to get off his property. (his wife is a Democrat, which makes him all the angrier)

Philly is known for corruption and election fraud.  Remember the 2020 election and what happened in PA, particularly Philly. I expect the same.  GOP operatives are too slow to react. However, there been Republican gains in the Philly suburbs.

One other problem I see happening is that it will take way too long to get election results. it is going to be chaotic.

Black women turnout is at 248% at this point in 2020...White women at 146%

Yeah I really like the early voting data vs polling.  When you have real data vs statistical probability, I'll take the former every day. 

And then all of a sudden, you hear that they’re leaving Milwaukee or they’re leaving wherever they may be located. It’s very sad to see it. And it’s so simple. I mean, you know, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land. Or he gets the engines back. That was the first I realized. I said, “Who the hell did that?” I saw engines about three, four years ago. These things were coming. Cylinders, no wings, no nothing. And they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom.

Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right? He’d have eight circles and he couldn’t fill ’em up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. I don’t know. I don’t know. Couldn’t fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles. They were so beautiful. They were so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person that did them, that was the best thing about his, the level of that circle was great. But they couldn’t get people, so they used to have the press stand in those circles because they couldn’t get the people. Then I heard we lost. Oh, we lost. No, we’re never gonna let that happen again. But we’ve been abused by other countries. We’ve been abused by our own politicians, really, more than other countries.

Hey @teskeinc and @Philly NJ  It would be great if you could translate Trump's comments from yesterday.  Can you give this a shot?  No, this isn't parody.
