---Initial jobless claims soared to 263,000 last week, the highest level in nearly four years---

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/jobless-claims

Initial jobless claims in the US surged by 27,000 from the previous week to 263,000 on the first week of September, the most since October 2021, and well above the market consensus of 235,000. The result aligned with a series of pessimistic labor market surveys released since the start of the month to consolidate the evidence of a deteriorating labor backdrop in the US.

---US Inflation Rises to Seven-Month High---

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi

The US annual inflation rate accelerated to 2.9% in August, its highest level since January, as retailers gradually passed higher import tariffs on to consumers.

---So when does the “golden age” begin?---

why would anyone want to shoot Obama. Did he abuse and denigrate citizens who pay taxes (even conservative or republicans)? Did Obama ever insult women in the republican party or folks who didn't agree with him..

Trump stokes hate for a living..and as a leader you don't do that..you unite your people..Trump is incapable of doing that..
Obama like every politician has insulted and thrown shade to those who didnt agree with him before so did every politician

Hillary Clinton called those who wont vote him basket of deplorables did anyone shoot her?

You do know that Trump advocates extra judicial killing and violence.
He just blew up a boat in international waters the other day that he claims were drug smugglers. And claims is doing a lot of work there.


I don't condone killing people, but some of this self righteous indignation when talking about a man like Trump who also pardoned and released Jan 6th insurrections who wanted to hang is VP is beyond me.

Trump and his cult is a cancer to the US.
How many people were blown up by Obama claiming they were terrorists ? Including US born Al Awlaki. Is that extra judicial killings

---Jamie Dimon says economy is 'weakening,' warns of uncertain outlook---

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/jamie-dimon-says-economy-weakening-warns-uncertain-outlook

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is urging caution about the outlook for the U.S. economy amid persistent uncertainty over the impact of tariffs as well as geopolitical headwinds.

"I think you better be careful on that one [on the economic impact on the U.S.], because some of these things have long cycles. So we don't know yet. People are expecting these things to happen right away. But actually, a lot of them haven't happened," Dimon said in an interview on the "Office Hours: Business Edition" podcast released Wednesday morning.

Dimon warned that the economic impact of tariffs, shifts in immigration policy, geopolitical challenges, as well as the tax and spending changes in President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act remain to be seen.

You might want to google the word "extrajudicial".
You seem to have trouble with reasoning beyond soundbites.

Your lack of education s always your biggest problem

In the years following al-Awlaki’s killing, a chorus of legal scholars and journalists discussed and debated the circumstances surrounding the strike. The case was unprecedented in many respects: The president of the United States had personally overseen a secret executive branch process leveraging the massive capabilities of the US intelligence community and military to extrajudicially kill an American citizen. The use of technologically advanced surveillance and targeting systems in the form of weaponized drones also lent weight to those who believed the killing was an assassination or even an execution.

From the Magna Carta to the US Constitution, citizens have sought ways to protect themselves from the arbitrary exercise of sovereign power. The drone strike on al-Awlaki reversed this historical process with an executive process. From the so-called “Terror Tuesday” or “targeting Tuesday” meetings where President Obama personally approved targets for drone strikes to the drafting of the legal logic justifying the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen, the strike on al-Awlaki was the result of decision making within the executive branch. Completely absent from the proceedings was the judiciary, which acts as a crucial buffer and neutral arbiter between the citizen and the executive.

Extrajudicial means without legal authority.

You quoted an opinion piece by people who believe it was without legal authority. But Obama and the DOJ predicated the strike on the AUMF. Therefore, they say it had legal authority.
Al-Awlaki, was an al-Qaida propagandist who the Obama administration believed was planning an imminent strike on the US.
They argued in the legal memo they wrote that the Authorization to use Military Force gave them the right to kill even an American who was part of an enemy force abroad planning an imminent strike on the US.

What is so weird about this argument. You are arguing for someone the US government believed was trying to kill Americans.
You would normally be celebrating killing "terrorists" abroad. And what do you think Obama who everyone on the right thought was a secret Muslim and Al Quaeda supporter's end goal was here? Just kill an American who happened to support Muslims?
You have an incessant desire to predicate what you think it good or bad based on what side does it. It makes you have contradictory ideas form post to post.

Compare that with what Trump did with the boat. What was his legal authority to kill the people on the boat? Had Congress authorized armed conflict against the Cartels? So, in which legal authority did he kill people? That is extra-judicial.

You're punching above your weight here and I'm sure don't really have an understanding of what you are trying to argue.

You are definitely confused

Trump killed those he believed are cartels trying to kill Americans you are arguing that its extra Judicial when Obama killed an American citizen who he believed was trying to kill Americans without judicial oversight

I gave you the Obama legal rational. He had a Congress approved AUMF against AlQaedi which the guy was a member of.
Give me the Trump legal reasoning. Show me Congress approved legislation which let him kill people who are Cartel members in international waters.

Only Felicia will accuse Israel of extrajudicial killing of Hamas leaders then provide the exact same justification for killing Osama.

Then 2 days later cry about the killing of narcoterrorists then use the exact same justification for killing Al-Awlaki

Are they not going to send a national guard to Utah (a republican state)?

white on white crime, in a predominantly white state, at a predominantly white university and they're mad at HBCUs.

it says a lot about Kirk and his supporters that the immediate reaction is to target black colleges

How many of the children killed have you written post after post about?

"I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

Just listen to yourself, do you actually process these things before you say it.

So because Trump does all these you have listed above, the consequence is for him to nearly get killed. I fear you

Speaks volumes
I was thinking about this earlier. Even the ones on this thread are more concerned till date in proving that the kil ler (a registered Republican) is a Democrat. Now they want Democrats to wail and mourn for days for a guy who believed that gun deaths are essential collateral damage for preservation of 2nd amendment, someone who has no empathy for innocent children kil lled by guns.

They're preaching everywhere. cheesy

It's almost as if they're not the ones that gloriify and defend the murder of blacks and Palestinians. Charlie Kirk himself was just as horrible as they are.
