Narcissists are self-loathing in their own way. Look at all the lies Trump tells to cover up his self-perceived inadequacies. He hates his hands. He hates his pale skin.

If they have a few million in the stock market they'll be taken care of.
But every single police department has no interest in real reforms. They dont need anymore money
And he spends literally (and I do mean literally) every moment of his life trying to put up what he thinks is the right appearance, in the most shallow way. No substance, and nothing real, just the right image. He's a walking photo-op. He doesn't know anything but perceived brands, marketing and "how it looks on TV".
They take it anyway, this community policing money sounds great, but in reality how it works is that police department write grant proposals (which the feds tells you exactly how to write so they get approved) and then get some sweet sweet federal money.
There is very little oversight and the definition of community policing is so vague and broad, that stuff like Meth Task Force Extreme Breaking Bad Training routinely get funded from that program. It created a whole cottage industry of people who sell those training and seminars and are also expert in helping police departments write grant proposals so they can get what they're selling for free (free for them, cost money to us of course).
We spent over 14 billion dollars with this shitty program and community policing has not improved since 1994, this program need to be killed, not given more money.
They'll update this 3 months in to Biden's term to show him with 9+% unemployment and blame him
I graduated in 08 and I've just now finished going back to school for a career change that's probably DOA now.
Sorry everyone. I'll stop going back to school from here on out so there will be no more recessions.
Yep, my personal worst case projection for trump approvals was 35%, just in a month or two, having him crash through the 40% floor and sink lower in JUNE is accelerating the timeline to his implosion at the polls.
Now the floor might well be lower the 08 Bush. Which is some terrible, terrible news for the GOP.
I'm just waiting for the stories about how the campaign staff is feeding him and others in the campaign fake polls and data. You know it's coming. They have already changed the campaign staff to Jared fucking Kushner to head it up and hired a fake poll pollster.
so, if by sept./oct. USA is at 200K deaths from covid, And unemployment is about where it is atm, I expect he will hit 32% approval, and only 70% from gop approval.
thing is, we havent felt the real impact of the unemployment crisis yet.
thats essentially a tsunami, with all the water gone, and people going its fine.
the stormsurge is approaching, and will no longer be mitigated after july PPP runs dry.
The sample will be directly from the Trump campaign mailing list.
Late, but Florida holding the Republican convention during a pandemic is about the most Florida thing, ever.
ahh fuck.
we might legit get a geb bush run in some years. him or romney in 2024 is my guess. ughh
Not openly anyway. Personally, I think the GOP at large (meaning the folks who were in charge before Trump reduced them to figureheads) would secretly love Biden's AG to go nuts on Trump. Trump won't be truly burnt as a political power as long as he keeps holding rallies and holds on to the 20% or so die-hard MAGA fans who currently idolize him. Even if he were booted from office, I suspect he'd try to maintain his grip on the Republican base because he needs the adulation and forcing Republican politicians to keep kissing his ring in order to avoid attacks from the base would be a welcome bonus with the ultimate prize being a kingmaker for 2024 and turning the primaries into a "Presidential Apprentice".
Especially if Trump losing causes the senate to flip, there's no way Republican officials will want him to continue being the official voice of the party and forcing them to defend his inane statements to journalists. A Democratic-led DOJ trying to throw Trump in jail would be the best of two worlds for Republicans. It would remove a millstone from their neck while at the same time allowing them to instigate a political backlash, rally the furious base and fundraise off of Trump's misery without him getting a dime off of it.
What do we need another stimulus for when the GOP says everything is fine?
Powell just bent the knee. He said QE and 0% rates indefinitely, regardless of the bubble he's inflating. He's desperate to give Trump the stock market boost he needs.
They all really really wish the stock market crush under a democrat.
The Fed's estimate is that unemployment is going to be very elevated until late 2022. Raising rates in that environment would be a terrible idea. We're years away from any inflation risk.
The thing about inflation hawks is that they are generally unmoved by facts.
If the inflation is too low than it's just lulling us into a false sense of security.
Completely disagree. There is already rampant inflation in housing, stocks, food, tuition, healthcare. Rates are only half of it. Why does he need to print $120BN per month with stocks at all-time highs?
If Trump was sabotaging his own campaign what he would get out of it is a definitive understanding of what the absolute floor is on his support. If that proved to be something like 30%, couldn't he theoretically hold the GOP hostage? With a media network (OANN) and half of the Republican voting population it doesn't really matter if he loses, he controls the base, narrative, and policy moving forward from the right. That in itself would be a pretty scary situation that he could leverage to prop up other parts of his family.
I would have found a way to subscribe to CNN if they had just written back "Fuck off." That would have dominated the news for days! Enough with these sleek, well crafted, thoughtful rebukes, just tell him and his lawyers to fuck off.
So it's kinda wild seeing people devolve into right wing lunatics. Have an old classmate on social who was fairly liberal. Then she married a park ranger who became a cop. Now she's sharing pragerU and a bunch of right wing nonsense along with saying her mind has been opened. Her page went from some occasional occupy democrats to right wing propaganda. All she's doing is defending cops and posting other conspiracy theories along with not once mentioning George Floyd's murder.
Also she is a minority and her husband is one too. And tbh it's been insane seeing minorities I know share conspiracy theories and right wing propaganda meanwhile I'm seeing white people outta nowhere in strong support of BLM and calling out their white friends and family.

I would have been even more impressed if it were an Arnie style letter.
Stock prices going up isn't inflation, are you just upset that Powell won't play along with your shorts? And there has been only minimal inflation in food prices for years, while health care inflation has come way down since the ACA passed.

Yes, housing prices are still going up because more people want to buy than there are properties. The only way to stop that is for the Fed to let the economy tank and force millions of people out of work.
