There is only onepossible cause: printing too much money.
That’s nonsense. Inflation is caused by an imbalance between supply and demand.
If supply is constrained while demand remains constant, prices go up.
If demand goes up while supply remains constant, prices go up.

IWRA isn’t educated enough to understand that salient fact of economics.

You have to wonder with all those efforts at "fixing the planet" why they couldn't set aside a few Euros for 61,000 air conditioners....
Because genius, those air conditioners require a very expensive monthly electric bill.

@cristo71
What a lovely double-edged sword this claim is! If this sets the bar for the acceptable standard of evidence required in the court of public opinion, this opens up a whole treasure trove of reasonable accusations against various public figures…
So everyone said Hunter Biden was paid a lot of money even though he was unqualified to be a board member at Burisma.
Jared Kushner has no experience running a Private Equity Firm yet all these foreign investors gave him money.
How are these two things different?

2000 Mule analysis (GPS appears to show mules making repeated routes from community centers to drop boxes)
This nonsense was debunked by Attorney General Barr
None of what you listed is evidence. That’s why it was soundly rejected by US courts after Trumps crackpot lawyers filed lawsuits.
The lawsuits were so absurd these lawyers have had their law licenses suspended

There is no known record of Donald Trump calling for the termination of the United States Constitution.
That’s a lie. He wanted to send Federal law enforcement to states without their approval during BLM protests
And FLWR also cited another documented example

If there was any truth to this, the FBI would have already covered up the evidence.
Ya the FBI has always been corrupt, dating all the way back to the Trump Administration. Or, or, hear me out, Trump is corrupt and the MAGA morons are delusional

So when you cite an article from a British tabloid, do you even bother to note the date it was published? This article is nearly a year old and the legal cases they referenced are already adjudicated and the conspiracy you alluded to was unfounded in the case.
You are a typical conservative, not good at making and supporting a position with facts, or as I said before:
Republican go-to tactics: Fake controversy and the illusion of uncertainty.
Also applies to libertarians
Created:
Inflation is just a conspiracy theory
Trump caused the inflation with the “biggest tax cut ever” and his botched response to COVID that constricted supply of everything from oil to eggs.
And now inflation has already moderated thanks to Biden - with legislation like the CHIPS bill and his steady hand on the ship of state.
No doubt you are still praying for a recession, but it doesn’t look likely after all
Created:
But you would never hear that from the MAGA morons.
“Federal law prohibits using one’s public position for personal gain. I can’t prove Kushner used his position to procure funding for Affinity Partners, but to believe otherwise would be ingenuous”
“…it is also increasingly clear that Kushner was simultaneously securing his own financial future via massive investments in his pop-up private equity firm, Affinity Partners, by many of the very same countries that signed the accords. Quelle coincidence.
Kushner’s biggest financial backer, however, was Saudi Arabia“

Do you think Jan 6 was a similar FBI action?
Only someone detached from reality would.
Do you think it was Trump appointed FBI Director Shay who organized this massive entrapment sting? But Trump said he only hires the best people.
Did Shay tell everyone to take pictures of themselves and post them to social media? That was brilliant!
I wonder how the FBI got the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers to join in on the scam and then take the fall without even saying in court that they were recruited by the FBI. Or perhaps the FBI used informants to recruit the help of these groups.

I think it’s good that the courts protect stupid Americans from law enforcement. This is how the system is supposed to work.

So why are there no indictments for insurrection?Exactly!! Not to mention sedition conspiracy as well.
Let’s remember Mitch McConnell said Trump should be charged with crimes when he declined to impeach Trump because he had already lost reelection.
So on the one hand, Trump psychophants say he did nothing wrong. On the other hand they ask why isn’t he being charged with treason. That’s beautiful

Ad hominem and genetic fallacies. Typical of one clearly exhibiting intellectual cowardice with a flare of grandiose pomposity.
Greatest Hits!
given my own legal background,
Lol
no one can prove such a case. It’s purely a political indictment, not a legal one.
Nonsense. Trump indicated with words he knew he had lost and that these theories from his crackpot lawyers were crazy talk. He took steps to overturn the election despite that. He’s guilty as charged. The MAGA morons who support him are delusional

“Are Trump supporters right that the indictments are just a political witch hunt? Of course not. As a card-carrying member of my class, I still basically trust the legal system and the neutral arbiters of justice. Trump is a monster in the way we’ve all been saying for years and deserves to go to prison”.
This is how Brooks ends his article. So what is his point?
The MAGA morons are falling behind, but it’s not because of the professional class. It’s their own stupidity.

“Armed with all kinds of economic, cultural and political power, we support policies that help ourselves. Free trade makes the products we buy cheaper, and our jobs are unlikely to be moved to China. Open immigration makes our service staff cheaper, but new, less-educated immigrants aren’t likely to put downward pressure on our wages.”
Free trade benefits capitalists. It allows APPLE to make phones in China and avoid much of the labor and environmental regulations they would face in the USA and gives them access to cheap labor. This allows just about everyone in America to afford a phone.
Open immigration benefits everyone from employers to consumers. With record low unemployment, immigrants are not causing Americans to be unemployed or wages to go down.
David Brooks is just musing here. He suggests we should dumb ourselves down and be more tolerant of bigotry. This is not one of his better articles.
I mean it’s just ridiculous how white people can’t even use the N word anymore and this gay marriage thing is like they are normal people now instead of freaks.

“The meritocracy isn’t only a system of exclusion; it’s an ethos. During his presidency, Barack Obama used the word “smart” in the context of his policies over 900 times. The implication was that anybody who disagreed with his policies (and perhaps didn’t go to Harvard Law) must be stupid”
Yes, the United States is a meritocracy. And a truck drivers child can go to college and be a doctor. But if the kid chooses to quit high school and be a truck driver, he should expect to make no more than his father.

It most certainly cannot because the reason the sham election was a sham is because fraud can't be ruled out.
That is a ridiculous statement.
Fraud can be ruled out
Fraud was ruled out
The only Fraud that took place was by Trump and his allies who tried to overturn the election

Assuming that's true (which is only for the sake of argument), a constitution must be amended by process. The legislature can't simply pass laws that violate the constitution.
Assuming? All you have to do is google it and read. In the Information Age, ignorance is a choice.
The Republicans changed the voting laws. It was only because Trump lost that they reversed themselves. And I seriously doubt you have a working knowledge of the Pennsylvania Constitution and what it says about voting. You are just whining

You don't need to be smart to know that RFK was being Hosted by Jimmy Dore
The host matters. A could host spends hours preparing for an interview and has a working knowledge of the subjects he or she intends to discuss.
There’s a big difference between Jimmy Dore and say the late, great Tim Russert.
The host asks the questions and a good one doesn’t allow lies and nonsense to be part of the answers. They ask relevant, probing questions that enhance understanding so the viewer has a clear picture of what is being discussed and comes away better informed.

Why would 44 government appointees in any way, shape, or form -Arguably creatures of "the DC swamp"- accurately reflect the pulse of the American voter?
Trump voters are MAGA morons. The 44 government appointees were appointed by Trump and now most wished they never worked for the guy.
All MAGA morons should ask why so many Trump appointees walked away from Trump but since they are morons they will try to rationalize their support for Trump and invent conspiracy theories on why Trumps cabinet doesn’t want him anymore.

“A grand jury indicted former president Donald Trump on Tuesday for a raft of alleged crimes in his brazen efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election — the latest legal and political aftershock stemming from the riot at the U.S. Capitol two and a half years ago.“
“Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power,” the indictment charges, saying Trump unleashed a blizzard of lies about purported mass voter fraud, and then tried to get state, local, and federal officials to act to change the vote results”
