Trump pressured Pence for weeks to not certify the election. You think that the MAGA mob chanted "Hang Mike Pence" all on their own? They knew what Trump wanted. It was obvious to all that Trump did not want the election certified on 1/6.
Post the link of Trump telling them to chant this.

Trump's behavior toward Pence up to and including January 1/6 clearly showed his anger toward Pence. This incited the MAGA mob to rage against Pence. Trump may not have given the mob the exact words but he incited them against Pence.

There is no question Trump didn't like Pence at the end. He clearly didn't tell the crowd to do Pence chants or to storm the capital.

Maybe you should stick to advising us on the economy. You have a great feel for that topic;)

Like I said, if in six months there is not substantial inflation due to tariffs, I will happily admit I was wrong.

I was irritated with Trump about Pence, but the more I dig into Pence, I’m not sure he wasn’t a leak. He’s also been unimpressive since leaving the VP position.

It sounds like stoneaxe27 could have written this article.


Failing to build redesigned nuke plants and not keeping existing nuke plants operational are the major flaws in our pre Trump energy policies.

Allowing certain States to destroy water dams used for electric generation/storage is the other green wackoes stupidity,

Are all of the Dems who call Republicans Nazis and Fascists held to this same standard? Are they all inciting violence? Is Crockett calling Trump a “wannabe Hitler” dangerous?

Perhaps you can explain why the Fed has already been using it as an excuse not to cut rates. Say, are they still using the same financial models that said inflation in 2022 was transitory?

I see all the posts on this board telling me how great the economy is. If the economy is doing so well, then there is no reason to cut rates.
You only cut rates if you are trying to stave off a recession. Is the economy doing well or not?

My wife and I watched the Charlie Kirk memorial today, all 5 hours of it. Some speakers were good, many were great and one or 2 just so so. Erika Kirk was outstanding and probably the highlight. Trump stayed mostly on topic although he did mention a major announcement on autism tomorrow with RFK from the White House.

They had a bullet proof clear shield around the whole podium area even though the event was indoors and everyone was searched before gaining admittance. The stage and layout were impressive and indicative of what Turning Point is capable of putting together on short notice. Well done.
