Trump announces 2000 dollar checks are coming.


Sigh, so the FED just spent a year draining funny money out of the economy with high interest rates and job cuts, and now the plan is to throw a bunch of fresh liquid into the pool. Great. If you can't fix things by the midterm then just buy them, I guess.

The only saving grave here is that the tariff money is real money and won't appear out of thin air. The problem is that goods that people will buy are sparse so it will cause a small price jump, but hopefully won't shoot inflation through the roof or spook the FED.

My Dad graduated in '52

Used to love going to Paducah in the Summer to visit my grandmother, just me and my Dad (my Mom and sister usually stayed in Lex, or went to Virginia to visit her parents in Portsmouth) Brutal drive though. I don't know what it is about that, but it SEEMS twice as long as it is. Back then the Parkway was still a toll road.

My grandmother lived on Jefferson, near 27th street, and I used to walk over to Broadway and walk downtown. Kresge's, sometimes catch a movie at the Columbia, etc. I was fascinated with the Irving S. Cobb Hotel (which had burned down, but still hadn't been cleared/razed.) My Dad's first job was at Finkle's Fair Store. Last time I was in Paducah, the building was still there.
I worked on I-24 building bridges for RR Dawson Bridge Co. in 71 out at the Oaks Mall area, loved Paducah at the time, stayed on Spann Lane! They wanted me to follow them to the Cumberland River area to work there, didn't go.

Your Brazilian Grand Prix winner, Morrisey (errr, Lando "Dandy" Norris) :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

What a silly acting poppinjay... Can you imagine AJ Foyt, Max Verstappen, or Dale Earnhardt posing in a half sweater and wistfully holding lavender?


And I thought George Russell was super gay.

Sweden
Much of what the outside world thinks it knows about the Swedish model is wrong. Sweden, which had been an open capitalist economy between 1870 and 1970 then moved in a decidedly socialist direction by increasing the size of government, regulations, and taxes. The result was a 20-year period that hurt the economy’s competitiveness and citizens’ living standards, and that ended in the terrible financial crash of the early 1990s. Then came a sharp retreat from socialist policies and the country implemented reforms that once again moved Sweden back to a broadly successful, capitalist-inclined economy.

It’s effing idiotic. He can’t get out of his own way.

I'm picturing Donald Trump in a football huddle...

The play is called, and before "break", he offers this, "You know, you're a very LOW IQ quarterback. You're fired."

Post game presser, "Our locker rooms are an embarrassment, really. I'm going to get some folks in here, and do a complete tear out/remodel, and really make it a showplace. It'll be a spectacular place to hang sweaty uniforms, and make halftime adjustments. State of the art audio-visual equipment etc."

Trump would treat a QB worse than Steve Spurrier...have a press conference 'he's a loser. worst player I have ever seen'

so ... some of ya'll ... if the Dims were really winning the war on messaging, then they would NOT have caved. They were losing bad. This really is proof.

So, at the end of day, the Dims didn't give 2 chits about Americans. They originally looked out for the corporations that fund their campaigns and then when it hit the fan, they sided with SNAP recipients, aka, their voting base ... esp the illegals.

And the GOP gave zero concessions, other than a promise to talk about it, which they gave on Day 1. The Dims got played. And Trump's announcement of paying people $2K pushed the Dims over the edge. Master move.

I think UK should hire Trump as the next AD. How long do you think he'd put up with 3 or 4 win seasons?
There will be so much winning ... the fans, the beautiful fans will cheer like they have never cheered before because of all the winning, then they will say, "please President Trump ... I cannot take all this winning, please stop" but we will never stop winning. We will win at everything, even the coin toss. Even the tiddlywink team ... best ever... this will be the Golden Era of UK athletics. I might even buy Nike just so i can put gold into the mascot and school colors. Blue, Gold and White. Beautiful ... beautiful...
