It's the economy, stupid.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

This approaches the level of supremo bullshit.....trump's "economic" team bragging about how great things are. HIlarious.

3 qualifications for a MAGA official:
Blind loyalty to the Cult leader.
The ability to LIE shamelessly.
Consistent denial of reality.
Yeah, if I were an American from the future and read about the US under a president trump, I wouldn't believe what I was reading. But actually living through it is no consolation with regard to knowing it's actually happening like the future American read about. It's like what Rod Serling said at the start of a Twilight Zone episode....."too incredible to be real; too real to be a nightmare." And here's some more of it.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
No matter who originally said it, it's certainly proven true since 2015, with lots of people doing nothing while the country's legal foundations are mocked and its institutions ransacked.

Face-saving nothingburgers are often the result. The test will be if there's a huge reduction in the tariffs.

He wouldn't have brought along CEOs like Mush and Tim Cook if he wasn't already planning on giving them reason to sing his praises.

Our 5th warning:

The bond market crisis is intensifying.

The US 10Y Note Yield is now officially above 4.55% for the first time since May 2025.

After weeks of euphoria, the market is beginning to react today.

As we have been stating for the last few weeks, the current situation in the bond market is unsustainable.

We are now above levels seen when President Trump implemented a "90-day tariff pause" in April 2025 due to a collapsing bond market.

Furthermore, the market now sees a 60%+ chance that the Fed's next move is an interest rate HIKE, with rate cuts entirely priced-out.

We expect to see 7%+ mortgages next, all as auto loan delinquencies have reached 32-year highs.

Inflation is back and higher rates are coming.
