Picture someone suffering from a terrible case of meth mouth. Thanks to his constant use of meth, his mouth produces little saliva and his teeth are rotting. Several have fallen out. Every dentist...

Johannes Kepler, for one. He laid out the laws of planetary motion, from which Newton derived the theory of universal gravitation.
Wow, that was like watching a tactical nuclear strike.
Yes. The Trump years were a textbook example of policy we'd expect to set the groundwork for long-term inflation problems. Even with low unemployment and a long-growing economy, he pushed through...
The real head-scratcher for rates wasn't the swift cuts of 2020, nor the delay in raising them in 2021. That made sense. We were dealing with an unprecedented economic meltdown and there was more...
I understand there are some people outside of Russia who wish they could be Russian without having to actually move to Russia. In the same sense, there were people outside of Germany in the 1930's...
No. Go ahead and ban me.
I came here because I liked the fact this place wasn't over-moderated like the last forum I was in. Right-wingers insult me and the rest of the liberals here...
You may as well ban me permanently now, since I'm just doing to do it again.
It sucks when you tell on yourself, doesn't it?
What should it be doing differently, exactly?
Recall, there are three major components to the inflation issue, at the moment:
(1) Supply chain issues triggered by the pandemic, which still...
Yes. Although the deficit decreased last year and also in the Obama (and Clinton) years, there was a spectacular increase in deficits under Bush and Trump, and that's been driving an overall...
I am not.
Uh oh, were you another one of those perverts who accidentally told on himself, by sexualizing an innocent scene involving a child? It's amazing how many of you there are on the right!
Yes, it's rising a bit recently, but how long would it have to rise at that pace just to get us back to the pre-pandemic levels we hit under Trump? Back then, the economy was being fueled by record...
We're still in the pandemic, and people are still buying, as they did throughout 2021 (which, recall, had the strongest economic growth in nearly 40 years).
The federal deficit in FY2020 was about $3.131 trillion. That fell to $2.775 trillion in FY2021. As I mentioned, that's the second-largest single-year improvement in American history, just behind...
There aren't any. However, there are videos of him having completely normal and appropriate actions with kids, which videos caused some pedophiles to get hard and then inadvertently to tell on...
From the perspective of the ultra-rich, boom-and-bust is probably a great thing. After all, there's a well known tendency of incomes to be a trailing indicators. Basically, after a recession ends,...
Yet another way to see that data:

This compares consumer debt to average hourly earnings. Where it stands right now is fairly low compared to recent...
Here's another way to look at it:

That's real credit card debt over time. Adjusted for...
Which numbers do you have in mind? The numbers I cited, from the Federal Reserve, are the most recent household debt figures I could find. They also have some consumer debt figures, which likewise...
All the talk about Putin seeking empire were dramatically confirmed by Putin, when he followed up his more limited land grabs with an attempt to conquer the whole of Ukraine. At this point, there's...
One thing I find fascinating is the number of accounts that have revealed themselves to be in Putin's pocket. At one point, it was all just speculation that there were thousands of nominally...
As you know, Trump claimed he had a record inauguration crowd. As you also know, his crowd was nowhere even close to a record, which was immediately obvious to anyone merely looking at pictures of...
My EX-president did so. He was accused in multiple sworn affidavits of having raped a child at an Epstein party. And that's in addition to the multiple sworn accusations of having raped grown women...
