RFK in, Tusli in, Kash in.
I haven't been this optimistic about the country since Obama was elected. That turned out to be a huge disaster, so hopefully my judgement now is better informed.

There’s 2 things that Trump needs to do to solidify the Republican bastion when he leaves including midterms. The first is popping the housing bubble currently before it implodes in the next 5-10 years again and the left gets an avenue to repeat the Obama years. The second is to make the budget balanced by midterms. Anything else will lead to runaway inflation and the left going back to status quo.
Fuck the Republicans. I want a MAGA/MAHA bastion.
I guess saying the populist bastion would be more accurate. The two party system has at least done us the favor of showing themselves as serpents.
That I can get behind 100%.
The Republican party is dead, Trump killed it. Long-live the Republican party!
The first and only thing Trump actually needs to do is fix the elections.
Single day, paper ballot, hand counted at each polling location not at a centralized clearinghouse where boxes can be 'found' in a bathroom or appear at 3 am out of nowhere.
Everything else will work itself out with honest elections, anything but will be meaningless and reversed in a few elections (or one).
It is amazing that there are no repercussions for losing ballots. Every person at that polling station should immediately be arrested.
Afaik, the President doesn't have the authority to do that because the power to manage elections rests with the states.
The Federal government has a great deal of authority over state elections for federal offices:
The President can get congress to regulate state elections that have any Federal office.
Also the DoJ right now can put people away for false registration or illegal voting, or conspiring to do so, altering records - which could stop at least some of the cheating.
And it also seems that federal funding can be withheld at a whim. So I'd tell them enact election Legislation that checks at minimum certain boxes or fuck you and your roads. Literally bully them into passing legislation you like. Is that legal?
Boom.
I dunno, he wants to lower interest rates, which will do the opposite of pop it
Honestly I wish they would just pick an interest rate and just leave it there. Or better, just get off this stupid system of government controlled currency supply, and let the interest rates be decided in the market
Hmmm. There is a counter theory. Many people won't sell homes because they have a low rate now and don't want to get a new house with a higher interest rate. If they suddenly dropped, a lot of people wouldn't feel trapped and would sell. This sudden sell off would lower prices and the floor would fall out until sanity was met.
Definitely I think something like that short term is plausible. But low interest rates do mean people can afford to borrow more and keep pumping up price so I think it will pump up asset prices in the long run. leads to inflation as well since businesses will borrow more money and a lot more money is introduced into the economy.
how? this isnt the same issue as the 08/09 bubble where inflated market values were driven by cheap rates and borrowers being allowed by banks to borrow beyond their means, not put anything down and even getting a loan for the down payment and a second loan for the mortgage. The current "bubble" is government caused inflation by creating money.
The battle for Trump would be to audit the Fed to lower interest rates and also create a deflation period so your money would be worth more.
If you look at housing it is way above inflation. The current bubble is caused by corporations mass buying homes and mass “immigration” both legally and illegally with the government paying a good share of rent/mortgages for both. Houses jumping over 100k in value over 4 years isn’t normal nor is it sustainable.
Corporations are mass buying homes, but its not that significant a number. Its still wrong and I think should be illegal anyways.
This is something significant that Trump could do. I want a deportation ticker on every MSM feed and the weather app on my phone just like those scumbags did with their covid "death counter"
