This is insane. I've been far from a fan of the FDA (although I'm hopeful they are beginning to course correct towards the right direction), and it's possible there are a few drugs/procedures out there that haven't cleared FDA hurdles that would benefit people who need and want them, (I'm a big supporter of the so-called "right to try"). But I want no part of an opaque foreign entity making decisions on what I can and can't/must or must not do in pursuit of my health.

I hope this is a hyperbolic mischaracterization of whatever this bill is.

But Gallop says….

The Democtats should realize how completely broken their party is, but they are still in complete denial.

Advice to the party as a whole - find candidates that are capable of answering the question below without panicking or going on a long diatribe.

“What is a woman?”

If you can’t answer that simply, you are incapable of leading. I haven’t seen a Democrat politician capable of that in years. Can they come back to reality?

It may be coincidence but the FY forecast for real GDP in 2025 is about 1.6%; the 2Q was a robust 3.8% but the 1Q was -0.6%. Core PCE, the Fed's favorite measure of consumer inflation was 2.9% in July, and the Fed wants it closer to 2%. My guess is the Fed will still cut rates again this year, with many forecasts predicting 50 basis points but there is some concern about inflation so the Fed will dither and dather as they usually do about it and then probably cut rates.

How pathetic are these democrats? Have they ever been to a funeral? How long should we have a frown on our faces? A month? 6 months? How disgusting is it that someone dictates how/when someone grieves? It makes me question the lack of humanity on the left and why there is such a lack of humanity.

Now I realize why he is so tight With the Trump fascist Administration
Shellenberger was a lifelong Democrat through 2022. As usual you demonstrate you are a mental lightweight holding zero facts. You can’t refute Trump, so he’s a “fascist”. I hope you are permabanned for your inflammatory rhetoric.

The Democrat leadership keeps spreading the lie that all Kimmel did was make a “joke”. He did not make a joke. The video is there for anyone to observe. The Democrats expect their followers to be stupid and too lazy to look up the video.

It’s high time a gave you a great compliment. You are an excellent Democrat Jeff, just like Stoney.

When Democrats vanish from the Earth, it is important we keep at least one in a museum so that people never forget.
I always appreciate opinions from the fringe right.

Who is most?
Democrats Regain Advantage in Party Affiliation https://share.google/RNxpGDdNF3hPpEQTW
Haha! Whatever helps you sleep at night. Just know that there is actual data which is 100 percent correct and in 27/28 states that report such data, Republicans are making gains. For example, Arizona was R plus 6.8 percent in registration last November. It currently sits at R plus 7.4 percent. As a former CFO, you can understand that translates to an additional 33,000 vote advantage for Republicans in 10 months - meaning Arizona is quickly leaving the swing state universe. Florida has gone from R +7.8 to R +10.0 percent in 10 months despite you threatening to move to deep RED MAGA country. Your wife must be a smart woman and her name surely isn't Karen since she has chosen Florida.

The Atlanta FED is not forecasting 3.9 percent growth. The figure is generated by a pure mathematical model and the Fed website specifically states it is not the Fed forecast. You don't even know what you are posting.

I know you are desperately trying to make Trump look good but get the facts correct.
Nope, you and the fellow deranged continue to deny reality. The Atlanta FED forecast was revised to +3.9 percent - attack them, instead, you choose to attack me personally. As I said, they need to discuss with you since you deny the actual numbers.
