  • "So is the audience with us in the room right now?"

    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

    • My gut tells me Trump will lose. His desperation is becoming too obvious and the public kind of dislikes losers. He is throwing out every possible idea he can think of to get support. And they are all economic turds. JD Vance and MAGA folks have to go out and defend this crap. Deserving.

        Lol. What an idiot.

          • SALT restoration? Maybe he should take it up with the President who took it away in the first place?

              Ha, that’s funny and true. I like the SALT limitation. If you don’t want to be limited, buy a smaller house with lower property taxes.

                Or live somewhere without a state income tax? Or both?

                  Yep, getting rid of the SALT limitation is giving the wealthy a tax break.

                  • I question whether or not this is really true, but one thing that lends it credence is that the Trump team have accused Harris of doing exactly this same thing. Experience shows us that if Trump is pointing the finger, that finger usually curls back to pointing at himself.

                      Interesting. Trump is notoriously cheap. I.e., If he paid in check no way does it cash. On the other hand he might be getting desperate enough to try it. And you are correct that he accuses others of doing what he does.

                        It's likely forgotten now but when Trump launched his campaign he paid people to show up and be fake supporters.

                        • Trump aide on Wolf Blitzer hyping tariffs, rolling his eyes at McConnell's response that he prefers "free trade" to tariffs. In closing, the guy says something along the lines of "Americans don't need free trade, which only benefits the few. They need tariffs against China."
                          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                            That's weird to me, free trade is an area of political and economic belief where I've shifted to what used to be the more conservative opinion. For one thing the more integrated economies are the lest likely wars are to break out.

                            Isolationism is no path forward. I'm not sure Trump knows anything about tariffs other than they make foreign trading partners mad and it looks tough.

                              Jacking up the tariffs and mass deportation are the easiest path to stagflation.

                              • I just can't believe he thought he could get away from free trade only helping the few. Tell that to NoKo, China, Russia, hell anywhere. All that pesky free trade, stabilizing economies and opening economic prosperity to so many. Terrible.
