KSH Patel is proceeding against James Comey

[postman]

Show us where he said that he would tank the market and risk a recession with his policies.

To be fair. Trump has been talking tariffs most of his life.
But from his first term, we saw that he only applied them selectively.

Tariffs in the first Trump administration - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In January 2018, Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines

March 2018, he imposed tariffs on steel (25%) and aluminum (10%)

And the result of those tariffs?

China implemented retaliatory tariffs equivalent to the $34 billion tariff imposed on it by the U.S.

Which resulted in a tariff bail-out.

In July 2018, the Trump administration announced it would use a Great Depression-era program, the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), to pay farmers up to $12 billion, increasing the transfers to farmers to $28 billion in May 2019..
The USDA estimated that aid payments constituted more than one-third of total farm income in 2019 and 2020.

Once bitten, twice shy. But not Trump.

Sure it wasn't the three fifths compromise?

That was just one of three compromises.

The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, established a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives having proportional representation based on population and the Senate having equal representation for each state,

Because they didn’t want people voting for president.

While tackling the headcount issue.

Not really. Single states can be decided by a single city. It’s much harder to decide a whole nation.

Thank you for enforcing my original point of party population concentrations in states............

Show us where he said that he would tank the market and risk a recession with his policies.

He said something to the effect that America could endure temporary pain.

Thank your proving my original point.

They were afraid of nationalist demagogues like Trump.

On a state level. But it has little effect on a national level. That’s because states are arbitrary and people are not.

He said something to the effect that America could endure temporary pain.

Before the election? I don’t think so.

 

[Delldude]

Has all the effect in the world when the states with the highest concentrations vote in similar fashion.

Quit playing games.

Before the election? I don’t think so.

Want to think about that again?

He sure did. But that was before the election when he wanted people to vote for him and was a lie.

 

[postman]

Before the election? I don’t think so.

Before the election Trump said he would fix everything very quickly.

Things were going to be great starting on day one.

Don't you mean when people vote in a similar fashion?
Voting in their own self interest?

It doesn’t because the populations of major cities is much smaller than the overall population of the country. That’s not always the case with the lines drawn to create arbitrary states where in some cases individual cities represent the majority of the state.

This is the exchange.

Making products more expensive for consumers. Which is the opposite of what Trump told us he’d do.

No He didn't

He sure did.

Still waiting for you to show us where Trump said before the election that his policies would cause pain.

That’s what it means to say buy the dip and when you talk about making more returns from buying after the 2008 crash. You guys don’t even know what simple terms mean.

That doesn’t mean you have to identify the precise dip.

It took 6 years to recover from 2008.

Not if you invested wisely.

Pure partisan hope. We will be lucky if we don’t have a recession in the next year. And it’ll all be totally artificial, the result of electing an erratic moron to presidency.

And you would have elected the Party who lets antisemitism swirl out of control, is so weak that wars break out, funds a terrorist state, and welcomes in swarms of criminal illegals.

You made the claim, I even quoted it for you.........

You've changed your original claim............

 

[busybee01]

WHEREAS WE THE PEOPLE-the Magadonians - vehemently object to James Comey and the Crossfire Hurricane Gang misdeeds against President Trump such as how they deceived the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court into approving four warrants for surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Comey also deliberately never recorded the interview with Hillary Clinton when EVERY such an interview is recorded for possible Perjury charges. He protected Hillary at all costs.

. Robert Mueller and James Comey made the FBI a threat to democracy, lost public trust in its agents and clouded Donald Trump's presidency by going political,

WHEREFORE we are extremely happy that KSH PATEL has decided to investigate James Comey

Trump’s FBI Reportedly Launches Investigation Into James Comey​

Trump’s FBI Reportedly Launches Investigation Into James Comey

Trump and his allies have claimed for years that Comey – acting on behalf of fromer President Barack Obama – plotted to spy on his first campaign.

www.mediaite.com

This clearly is a malicious, politically motivated investigation. It is Trump and Patel that are weaponizing the FBI. The IG found that Comey did nothing wrong. The next President needs to appoint several special prosecutors to investigate all the crimes that they are committing.

 

[busybee01]

As you very well know locking up weaponized federal officials is money well spent.

Patel and Trump should definitely be locked up.

 

[Marener]

That doesn’t mean you have to identify the precise dip.

It means a lot of things. It means you have to have money to invest, which either means you had money sitting on the sideline, which is not wise, or it means you cashed out at a peak. Either way, you're trying to time the market, which doesn't work out for retail investors.

Not if you invested wisely.

Sure, buddy. The internet is loaded with experts like you who like to tell everyone how they can predict the stock market.

And you would have elected the Party who lets antisemitism swirl out of control, is so weak that wars break out, funds a terrorist state, and welcomes in swarms of criminal illegals.

People elected Trump to lower prices at the supermarket, not the stock market. They were sold a false promise but the delusional weirdos like you still believe. You're such a hack you can't admit reality. You'll just gaslight yourself.

 

[Marener]

Non Sequitur?

Statistics.

You made the claim, I even quoted it for you.

I quoted the actual conversation. You got it wrong.

Trump never claimed there would be economic hardship before the election. He couldn't. He wanted to get elected. He lied.

Comey made comments sometime last years about people going to jail, people will have to leave the country, if Trump is elected.

This is the part where you resort to lies because you've lost the debate............LOL
You do this every time.......

Sure.................maybe you could go back and delete it.

You really are quite limited in your investing knowledge. One should always have some money on the sidelines, available for situations like the one we now have. The last thing one needs is to be forced to sell at a low.

And having some money out with a guaranteed return of 5% is smart.

Sure, buddy. The internet is loaded with experts like you who like to tell everyone how they can predict the stock market.

When did I ever make a prediction, other than to say that the marker WILL go up again?

People elected Trump to lower prices at the supermarket, not the stock market. They were sold a false promise but the delusional weirdos like you still believe. You're such a hack you can't admit reality. You'll just gaslight yourself.

It’s short-term pain for long-term benefit.

And I’m sure you believed Biden when he said his inflation was “temporary.” How soon libs forget what a mess the socialists made of things.

Ugh, you're just saying shit now. If you have money on the sidelines, then you're trying to time the market which is not smart for 99.999% of investors. That is to say, the people who aren't Warren Buffett or a level of knowledge, detail and commitment they have. Leaving an emergency fund out is smart, but there's rarely such a thing as a 5% guaranteed return. You should not invest your emergency fund into equities. Ever. That's not what it's for.

If you're leaving money out of the market, that money isn't doing anything for you.

When did I ever make a prediction, other than to say that the marker WILL go up again?

You made many predictions, but more importantly you're here bragging that you were able to time the market cash in 2008.

It’s short-term pain for long-term benefit.

Inflation was temporary. Didn't you notice when it came back down to historic norms? Here you are telling us that the market drop is temporary. Maybe it'll come back to where it was 2 years from now. Maybe 6. Maybe 10. Nobody knows. What we do know is that this was ENTIRELY because of a poorly informed decision by one guy who lied about the consequences during the election. You can't say that about inflation.

I stopped reading when you reverted back to “timing the market.”

You libs are VERY limited in your understanding of what that means.

If you were open to learning, I would take the time to try to educate you. But because you obviously are not, I won’t waste any more of my time.

Trump promised a boom. Now he's bracing Americans for economic turbulence

Economic warning signs pile up as Trump pushes tariffs, DOGE cuts. Unemployment and inflation are up. Stocks and consumer confidence are down.

www.usatoday.com

President Donald Trump promised during the 2024 campaign to turbocharge the economy, declaring he'd work a "miracle" that would bring about "extraordinary" boom times.

Rallying in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the day before the election, Trump predicted his promised victory would swiftly improve the job market and fatten wallets.

"We're just one day ... a half a day ... away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen," the former and future Republican president declared as the crowd held up signs reading "Dream big. Again!" and "Trump will fix it."

That was then. This is now.

Trump and others in his administration have talked in recent days about the potential for "disturbance," "disruption" and a "detox period" in the economy as it adjusts to Trump's tariffs on leading trade partners and widespread public sector job cuts while pitching the policies as badly needed medicine.
