Say what you want about him, but no one besides Donnie could have made 50% of active duty service members vote for a Democratic candidate.

If they're trying to be serious about this it's coming across as rich kid assholes born to rich rear end in a top hat parents that never had to work a lovely summer job in their life just to pay the bills. Actual people who deal with reality aren't somehow deeply offended by the idea of not putting their lovely summer working at a local gas station or what the gently caress ever on a resume. It sucked, you did it to pay the bills or get a car or whatever, and then you tried to forget it ever happened.

and he's making GBS threads on the Medal of Honor again

WaPo posted:

Former president Donald Trump said again Thursday that he prefers the Presidential Medal of Freedom over the Medal of Honor, a sentiment that previously prompted a backlash.

Trump was recognizing a Medal of Honor recipient at his Michigan rally when he said the award is often given “posthumously where, you know, they’re not there.”

“Then you have the civilian version of the presidential medal,” Trump said. “And I always say, I’d rather get the presidential medal, because the guys that came in — other than you and a few others — oftentimes they’ve suffered greatly, right?”

A recession has been looming for the last four years. It was always the most likely outcome of the fed trying to tackle inflation. The fact that it hasn’t happened yet is a credit to the federal reserve and their policies.

But a recession happens roughly every ten to fifteen years since the 1900s. We’re due and won’t know it until we have two successive quarters of negative gdp and likely already coming out of it by the time the general public hears of it.

Any recession we’re likely to have will be closer to the 1991-92 recession then the 2008 one.

Don't think about it too hard, as it's all self-contradictory. The party platform treats a fertilized embryo as a person, which therefore bans any usage of IVF, at all. Similar to JD on CNN today saying that "Alabama fixed their IVF problem" when they totally didn't. Also there's the problem of:

https://apnews.com/article/senate-ivf-alabama-reproductive-care-460d099153d3faf548e9326ff17dbae6

It's a lot like how Donnie said he'd support the Florida abortion amendment as "6 weeks is too little", now says he'll vote against it because "democrats went for abortion at 9 months" (no, it's the Roe viability standard). You/we and the media are thinking about it harder than he did.
