Uh oh. Pete doesn't know WHAT he thinks anymore, fellas, and can't answer simple questions.
I think we broke Petey.
Nope. Not until everyone puts him on IGNORE and stops replying to the trolling he produces here every day just to light you folks up.

Brooks, Alabama's current District 5 congressman, lost Trump's endorsement in March. He hoped to regain Trump's backing, recently posting on Twitter and asking “MAGA Nation” to help plead his case for Trump’s endorsement, calling himself the “Trump candidate” in the race.
In a statement posted to social media site Truth Social, the former president criticized Brooks for "going woke" and "foolishly listening to the wrong consultants and not to the people."
In his endorsement, Trump called Britt a "fearless America-first warrior" who will "never let you down."
WAAY 31 received this statement from the Britt campaign:
“I’m thankful to have President Trump’s endorsement and strong support,” said Katie Britt. “President Trump knows that Alabamians are sick and tired of failed, do-nothing career politicians. It’s time for the next generation of conservatives to step up and shake things up in Washington to save the country we know and love for our children and our children’s children. In the Senate, I will fight to defend Alabama’s Christian conservative values, advance the America First agenda, and preserve the American Dream for generations to come.”
Sounds pretty darn MAGA to me.

Dude...ten seconds ago, you were whining about our fixed elections. THAT is Trumpism.
So is worrying about Drag Queens, while at the same time, ignoring that Trump and DeSantis aren't governing like conservatives...and keep making Big Government bigger.
You're a card carrying Trumpist, Pete. Never change!
I certainly will! Steak dinner says that your team has given me annual tax breaks that are more than you make in a year, Pete.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 1:31 pmYou’ll be okay, a fan.

I'm ready for more if that's what you want!
Meanwhile? Hilariously? Your team STILL can't tell me what the plan is to help hard working, ordinary Americans. I don't need more tax breaks, Pete. All I need are healthy, educated customers who earn a good living. THAT is what I want for America.
You? You'll do anything to line your pockets. Oh, and to make drag queens (snicker) illegal.
Best of luck with that, Pete!
SIgh. Pete. We went over this already. Trump borrowed Trillions, and literally handed money out DIRECTLY to Americans and businesses. Billions to farmers for no reason. Borrowed every penny, and made the US Government 66% bigger.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 1:55 pm Oh, you want to help ‘hard working ordinary Americans’, and not play woke all day? You mean, like help them achieve solid gains in after tax incomes? Like this maybe?
The latest Census Bureau Current Population Survey data now show that middle-class incomes, after adjusting for inflation, have surged by $5,003 since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. Median household income has now reached $65,976 – an all-time high and up more than 8 percent in 2019 dollars under the Trump presidency.

So shocker, Americans had more money because (duh) Trump borrowed trillions and GAVE THE MONEY TO AMERICANS.
Get it? You're supposed to be AGAINST this sort of thing.
Or are you REALLY asking Biden to borrow $2 trillion, hand it out to Americans, and then like you, pretend that Americans worked for that money?
Pete: we have to pay that borrowed money back. It's not my fault that you don't understand this. Go ask an econ professor at UFlorida. He'll help you.

By the way, without getting into the weeds on the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury, which American political party historically has called for unlimited dollar printing? For debt jubilees??
You told me that Government spending was no big deal, Pete.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 2:54 pm
I guess. It does feel weird to agree with Vox.
The authors don’t mince words about why they think that is, writing: “Estimates suggest that fiscal support measures designed to counteract the severity of the pandemic’s economic effect may have contributed to this divergence by raising inflation about 3 percentage points by the end of 2021.”
That is: The US did a lot more stimulus than these other countries, and now it’s seeing a lot more core inflation. And the stimulus that most stands out is Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan — because it was enacted after more than $3 trillion had already been spent to stimulate the economy under Trump, with one big chunk of that being approved just three months prior.

Ready?
Trump increased the size of the Federal Government massively, increasing spending by 66% in just four years. This had a MASSIVE effect
on the US economy, and is a VERY big deal.
Agree, or not? Yes or no?
Translation: Petey is once again outwitted (like that's difficult), and won't tell us that yup, Trump increasing spending by 66% in four years is a very big deal, so Pete's gonna try and get us to look over that the neat-o squirrel.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:57 pmIn your previous post, you said ‘I told you’ ‘government spending is no big deal’.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:48 pmDon't need to, Pete.

Shouldn’t you first defend that claim before moving on?
