Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Watched these first three episodes. A really great show that happens to have a pretty good cast. Margo’s Got Money Troubles on AppleTv 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Does that factor in Trump and co doing their best to manipulate markets with obviously fabricated nonsense? Cause I am pretty sure they are going to say and do whatever they can to try and control fallout of oil prices. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that all these GOP folks aren't out in their trucks with 40 gallon tanks filling up to show us how much they are spending on gas. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Aren't a good chunk of corporations already suing the government to get tariff money paid back? Of course states (Dems and GOP) don't want more tariffs. It's killing the economy and states can't just print out money like the fed. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 17/03/2026There is a good chance he talked to an AI version of a president and thought it was real. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Could be anti-Semitism but I doubt it. He didn't just wake up one day three weeks into this war and decided to be against it. My guess is he knows something and if it goes/gets bad he doesn't want to blamed for it. 091
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 16/03/2026But isn't this what they claimed they wanted, isolationism? I guess it all sounded good till shit started hitting the fan. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 16/03/2026My guess is he wants them to join and if things go bad be able to blame these other leaders for being failures instead of him taking all this blame currently. If it all goes well then he will take all the credit. Other countries would be absolutely stupid for even getting involved. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Gas is now 3.99 at the station by my house. Not sure if regular unleaded has been this high in a very very long time but it's going to kill people that do gig work. Getting to work is going to be expensive. Diesel is 4.99. we are going to see price increases right fast on about everything. 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 15/03/2026They seem to pretend like we can't see or hear what the president himself has said and done. I think most people that are not part of his cult can see he appears to be completely living in his own world he or someone has created for him. 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 13/03/2026The cost of oil is really eating them alive. Not the dead soldiers or humans in general that are suffering because of all this. It's the cost of oil. 070
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I mean, if they wanted to show what's really hurting them more than anything its the cost of oil. It's like they just want to telegraph what is obviously a weak point they should keep attacking. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Man, I don't know how bad all this is but it must be pretty bad. They are working overtime to try and sell how mighty the US is. Also sad that he can't just announce the death of service people with some empathy and what all those families are going to go through. 001
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I am going to guess tomorrow will have a different tone. I'm guessing nobody in Washington has seen Lindsey Graham speed walk so fast to get into the president's ear to continue this war. He promised some mass destruction in two weeks and threatened the UAE he needs to see through. 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 09/03/2026He is saying this stuff mostly because of oil and stock prices. The two things he cares the most about. Hoping it will settle the rise and loss. It's what he does to try and manipulate markets whether there is any truth to it or not. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Because it's Trump and his inability to confront losses or criticism and the more this all spirals out of control the more desperate he will get. So this all has the potential to get very very bad. 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Besides all this. Tariffs were a good part of paying for all the tax cuts and other stuff in the Big Beautiful bill. Not to mention it assumed our economy would be kicking in high gear. I assume we are heading for a black hole we will never be able to get out of. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 06/03/2026This is giving "if you don't include all the months we lost jobs, we have gained lots of jobs" 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 06/03/2026They are going to lose 150k jobs one month hit 8% unemployment and still be saying "it's better than what we inherited from Biden" 071
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I would assume by him making these type statements that things are not going as well as they hoped. All we are getting is snuff films and chest beating. He needs this to end and is looking for a way out that doesn't make him look weak. Pressure is starting to mount it appears. 031
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Maybe start with the Dems that seem to have the attitude of "welp, we are already there so we mine as well fund this war" to task. They could at least try to force this admin to back off instead of helping them. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Look. Trump saw him on tv a lot. That's about all one needs to become qualified to run some part of the government. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Good chance he did sign off on it. Noem thinking he would back her up was her mistake. Trump never will take the heat for something and will lie and say he never did it or was not part of it if it becomes bad news. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Explains why he has been going on tv so much as of late. Probably been lobbying for the job and knows that is what Trump likes the most, how one plays on tv. 100
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Trump just wants them to move through so he doesn't take blame for gas prices. He will never pay for any ship that is attacked. Especially if there are no signed official agreements. If a company tried to make a claim he would just have the DOJ drag them out through court. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 04/03/2026These guys want the US citizens to believe they are dominating in every way. And the more they do this chest pounding nonsense the more I believe they are struggling in this "special operation" and don't know what to do. They will never give us the truth and what is really currently happening 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Imagine if the GOP got their way and everyone could only vote in person on election day. They could do this type of stuff all day long messing with voters and votes. Their whole end game is to make it as hard to vote as possible knowing a good chunk of folks won't bother if it's overly cumbersome 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Israel now bombing Lebanon I am pretty sure getting any kind of commercial flight out of the region will be next to impossible, which is all our government has advised. Honestly, considering how things have gone it might be a risk they accidentally shoot a passenger plane down anyways. 040
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I think the underlying thing they are trying to do is control the narrative and information going out to the public. It feels they want to keep the press at arms length. If it had not been for the civilian videos of the fighters and few other things, would they have been forthright and told us? 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 03/03/2026If you have not watched "Paradise" on Hulu you are missing some good tv. Season 1 was good. Season 2 has been amazingly good. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 03/03/2026His whole pitch was Harris would drag us into war with Iran and then some and he wouldn't do that. He would stop wars. Be the peace president. Unfortunately, nobody in the press asked what the peace president meant to him. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 02/03/2026For as much as they love it and embrace it, doesn't it seem like they are being kept at arms length? No coordination for embedded reporters. No on the ground stuff we get so we at least see without having to depend on the government's version. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 02/03/2026They say dumb things like this but will be the first to cry when it's applied in the other direction. They believe they are untouchable but I am not sure they are prepared for the people they are attacking to apply the same rules they want to impose. 030
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 02/03/2026It feels like this was their plan. They would attack and they would get them to "surrender" and the people would run out into the streets to take over their government. it would all be done and they could claim some sort of "US strong and powerful" message. And it isn't working like they hoped. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It's about the optics and, of course, having to take the responsibility for their deaths. Oddly, this will be probably one of the few times you will see this admin, Trump especially, avoid the media as much as possible 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 01/03/2026This is a statement that doesn't acknowledge what comes after he died. Sure it's good but the people filling that vacuum are going to be even more hard-line. It didn't fix a problem, it's possible they made it worse. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I guess the question is WHO they envision is going to take over? I would think if you are trying to do a regime change you would have some group ready to step in and make overtures to the people of that country or something. Otherwise, the same types just fill the vacuum and nothing changes. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Not sure he actually cares about the people there as much as he wants them to turn on their leaders and do the dirty work for him. I almost have to assume he will want some kind of control over everything like they are attempting to do with Venezuela, if that's still a thing these days. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Iran is 6300 miles away. How can there be a missile threat to the US? Unless he is referring to the ships sitting on their coast? 020
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Probably a good decision on their part. This admin will do something clearly illegal and then try to find a legal precedent after the fact to cover for it. 070
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026If they know who these fraudsters are, are they preparing to indict them? Seems like that would be the first step before taking the extreme position of holding money. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026The GOP kind of is creating their own problems. She could threaten to withhold votes or whatever because they have clearly shown they care more about their majority than holding their members to account. 1582
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026She doesn’t care. GOP have plainly showed they are more concerned about their majority. The GOP basically has given their members free rein to do whatever they want and know they will never need to worry about being held to account. They can’t lose votes. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026If I am understanding, it’s that China interfered in the 2020 election. And they seem to be trying this without a shred of actual proof that happened. It’s just the never ending inability that Trump can’t accept he lost. 110
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026But this only applies to the GOP. If the Dems were in this position they would be calling for their resignation and saying Dems were protecting a sexual predator and be all over tv demanding it. Their morals and ethics shift as needed. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 26/02/2026they are suing for this money back, which they have been working to recoup via higher costs even if they originally absorb them. we will never get lower prices on anything because there are still tariffs on everything currently. And they are priming us to keep costs high to pad their bottom line. 010
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 24/02/2026“Affordability is a hoax. But here is what I am going to do make things less expensive…” Guessing we will get stock market hitting 50k and some passing mention of giving people money. A lot of blame on Dems and immigrants. It’s what he does every time he gets in a bind. 000
Dwayne M. @dmc73.bsky.social · 20/02/2026If this even possible, the sloppy way the GO0 writes bills it will inevitably leave open a way for these companies to continue buying more housing. 040
