So if the GOP wins we get to look forward to our economy collapsing?

Larry Kudlow on Fox Business 9/23/22: "The new British prime minister, Liz Truss, has laid out a terrific supply-side economic growth plan which looks a lot like the basic thrust of Kevin McCarthy's Commitment to America plan.” pic.twitter.com/SlW349niNx

How the fuck does anyone this stupid even figure out how to breathe?

A very real thing that Larry Kudlow just said on Fox Business: "When I say I yearn for the calmness of Donald Trump, I am being serious ..."

A special kind of stupid, Part II

Your typical business reporter

Fox News.  The Wall Street Journal.  Fortune.  Larry Kudlow.  CNN.  Maria Bartiromo.  The New York Times.  The Washington Post.  Investor's Business Daily.

They all--every single one of them--have been proclaiming the wonders of the stock market's Trump Rally (it's up 8.2% since Oompa Loompa won the Electoral College).

Know what else they all have in common?  Every single fucking one of them was completely and utterly fucking clueless when the economy collapsed in September of 2008.

And such cluelessness might explain why none of them were touting the 11,000 points (+ 137%) the stock market gained during President Obama's eight years in office.

And it's also the reason I moved all of my 401k money into the most conservative fund I could find the day after the election.

Tune out the oblivious talking heads, folks--just because a tsunami is coming doesn't mean we all have to drown.

Fuck Donald Trump,

There's something in the air...

I have no idea whether the Occupy Wall Street protests will turn into an actual movement or will peter out and become a fond memory for those of us view America as empathetic and not pathetic.  But I must admit, the fear running rampant among republicans is about as heartening of a development as I've seen since the Dems opened a can of whoop ass on the republicans in aught-six and aught-eight.

A little cheese with the whine:

• Eric fucking Cantor, wimp extraordinaire, calling the 99%ers a mob and accusing them of dividing America--why is it that republican protests are patriotic and ours are divisive?  I smell...bullshit!
• Rep. Peter King complaining that if we give it legitimacy it will be the 60s all over again (like that's a bad thing?).  Considering that I've heard members of the 99% Movement repeatedly referred to as "dirty hippies" by the right, it will be by their voices that it is so.  Note to the dumb asses of the right:  the sixties called and it wants its fucking lingo back.
• CNBC--you know, the money "experts" who completely missed the collapse of the U.S. economy in 2008, hell-fucking-o!--calling the protesters freaks and their actions bizarre.  Don't know about you, but I'd take being called a freak by Jim Cramer or Larry Kudlow as a fucking compliment.
• The illiterati in the traditional media--Fox, CNN--doing their best to paint the protesters with the sterotypical conservative brush.
• Scott Brown's utterly lame putdown of the high priestess of the movement, Elizabeth Warren (whose speech arguably stoked the flame and makes one proud not just to be a Liberal, but also a human being) and the may be even worse defense of him by republican spin doctors, asking  Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Kelly Ayotte to walk the plank for a pig.  Anybody want to wager a guess at how badly Warren beats Brown among women in Massachusetts in 2012?  I'll wager 65-35.

Funny thing is, as demonstrated by thereisnospoon, the tea party may have fallen on its own sword by making protests viable again.

I don't think this necessarily helps the Dems in 2012--the movement seems pretty disgusted with both parties (thanks President Obama!)--but anything that further delineates the differences between those of us who think America should help the have nots more than the haves certainly can't hurt.

Peace,
