basilico: Says who? Joe Biden was forced out. In revenge he endorsed Kamala Harris. Obama took a week to endorse her. Read carefully below quote
This is what Pelosi told Ezra Klein of The New York Times, as it appears in the interview transcript:
Yeah, well, I think here’s the thing. The thought was that if this were to happen, but it happened fast, we ... none of us had any idea he would do it that Sunday. Well, I didn’t have any idea. Most people didn’t. So when he did that and endorsed [Kamala Harris], then the thought was everybody wanted an July.

Democrats are stuck with Kamala, though I think they can still get a savior at the convention, nothing how the VP nominee is toxic. Kamala now known for kamunism might be rejected also. You can spin it how you want it if it makes you happy. But your Fuhrer has sleepless nights because of her crowds size.  |

raumdeuter: Save democracy by rejecting democracy in the primaries?
How does Hypocrisy spell? Hypocrisy is when someone whose candidate rejects to admit he lost the presidential election worries about primaries.  |

basilico: Those were annualized fed interest rates. Govt runs a deficit. As fed rates increase so does the debt increase and vice versa. At $34 trillion debt incurs 850 billion interest annually at a fed rate of 2.5%
Now you see the importance of the fed rate. The fed funds rate increased to its highest point in 2023 since the financial crisis in 2007/2008. Maybe you haven’t understood what you were quoting whatever your source is. |

When will Democrats respect the wish of their voters and present who the primary voters really want Democrats are more than happy with the ticket Harris/Walz. Don’t worry yourself. |

raumdeuter: Republicans respect the wish of Republican voters who voted for Trump n their primaries
Democrats had to manipulate Bernie out in previous elections, Democrat primary voters chose Biden but they are getting Harris bcause the Dem elite believe the voters dont know what they actually want Republicans should respect all Americans who voted Trump out in the last election. |

IjeBos: Yes, economies are complex, but interest rate manipulation is actually the biggest tool used to control inflation by the FED. It's the reason everyone is waiting on bated breath for the next FED meeting and the rate cut which everyone assumes will happen. I agree. |

raumdeuter: Has anyone argued this with you? Or you just created the argument for yourself? You said that Republicans respect the wish of the voters. If they did, Trump wouldn’t be their candidate again. He lost the last election and denies it. You can’t be more disrespectful of the will of the people than this. |

bemeruca: So you think money is cheap, every Joe can just go about borrowing and the feds has to print more to keep up with the borrowing. 😂😂😂 Money is cheap when the interest rate is low. In other words, it’s then cheaper to borrow money. It’s an expression economists use. But how would you know? |

Majority of GOP voters voted for Trump in the primaries But majority of all voters didn’t want a second term with him. |

bemeruca: Fool, professional notice me must interject. He is saying the cause of inflation is low interest rates. As I said in the post you are responding to, the interest rate hike is intended to address inflation.

basilico: When Obama was the president, the federal rate was set to Zero for 90% of his entire presidency. When trump took over they raised it every 6 months 🥹🥹. Sabotage. Was there a pandemic during Obama‘s presidency? A supply-chain disruption? War in Ukraine? Higher gas and oil price? |

bemeruca: It is not true because it is on record what he told them. It is also on record a man urging people to storm the building was not arrested. Surprisingly enough, the Dems were supporting him. Since when do Dems support a MAGA insurrectionist? It‘s on record what Trump tweeted that day and one man who was convicted for his actions on that day testified that he was fueled by Trump‘s tweets. Are you also denying that Trump didn’t seed doubt about his loss constantly touting that the election was stolen from him and his voters? |

bemeruca: That's nonsense. The idea that low interest rates cause inflation is simply not true. There are other factors at play here, and it's clear that the administration's actions, rather than low interest rate, triggered inflation, you know, the printing of money and their green new deal bs. increasing the interest rate was intended to address the situation, but it's evident that the problem persists. When money is cheap (low interest rate), the demand for money is higher and therefore more money in circulation. That’s why central banks in developed countries increase interest rates to tackle inflation. You have just contradicted yourself. |

raumdeuter: Every buyer will have that 25k grant and what happens after that. When more money chase scarce resources it only increase the cost. It is what led to the current inflation and anywhere its done it leads to more inflation
In the 2nd option who will build the houses? Govt?
Real estate companies will build when the interest rate comes down, cost of materials come down and they can take loan to build. When the interest rate goes down and people/companies borrow more money, more money is in circulation pushing up inflation . Basic economics, something Trump does not understand. |

raumdeuter: You regret because your low level of intelligence was quick to show. In the last election was it only GOP voters that voted?
Of course you support Democrats because people told you to and don't know how the electoral process works Trump lost the last election and had people storm the Capitol claiming that the election was stolen from him and here you are saying that the GOP respects the will of the voters. Just be quiet! |

basilico: Of course he is cautious about public rallies. He held a X conversation that got over 1B interactions and hundreds if millions of views. He went to the next rally one or two days after the shooting. Trump loves crowds and attention more than his kids. Him constantly talking about Harris crowds shows how much it pains him. |

raumdeuter: Which republican voters said no to Trump? When he just won the primaries by a landslide
Crowd bigger? To watch Megan de stallion or which of the performers? Until they show up on election day which is what matters He lost the last election. Obviously, the majority of voters wanted him out. Aren’t you ashamed of parroting Trump like this? I regret having engaged a Trump voter. I should have known you would have nothing intelligent to say. See you in November!  |

raumdeuter: His case is in court and until convicted he is innocent as everyone
Unlike the Democratic party, the GOP actually respect the wishes of their voters, Democratic primary voters chose Biden, In 2020 Kamala won 0 delegates when she ran while Biden got the ticket
The Dem party elite actually believes their voters are not smart enough to know who they want so they interfere regularly like when they send debate questions to Hillary or when they actually chose Kamala who didnt go through primaries And yet her crowds are bigger than Trump’s which clearly gets under his skin because he can’t stop talking about it.  Republicans respect the wishes of their voters? The voters said no to Trump four years ago. What is he still doing here? |

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
She doesn’t have to forgive her but since she is a Christian , she should remember that her sins won’t be forgiven either.
I am saying this since you brought religion into it. |
