But would you feel good about it?

"Little things". If that doesn't encapsulate the tone deafness of this Admin not sure what else would. Other than maybe "suck it" or "eat cake, peons."

If Democrats win the House and Senate, and Trump knows the purse shuts off for the Iran war in January, and he knows hearings and investigations are coming, does he put boots on the ground after the midterms?

Who exactly does he think the "certain people" are?

If a high probability of a progressive being elected, for sure we go that route. If low probability we need to play the odds. While they may not be "progressives", they may not always vote more centrist, we'd stem the bleed of current conservative actions and have opportunity to move the needle.

Beshear, Pritzker, Kelly, Shapiro. Our focus, near term, needs to be winning the WH and Congress. We can have goals, dreams, and ambitions for change, but none of that change can happen without taking those seats. And within our system, that takes catering to the Independent vote. Its just reality.

Vote not for an ideology but for someone that can actually implement one.

Price moderation is what happens when you're 6 to 9 million net negative barrels from your Stratgic Petroleum Reserves each week to keep prices down, which are now at national security issue levels. Have that inflow stop and we'll see another leg up in prices pretty quickly.

All while we need buyers for $8 trillion of refinancing this year. What a donkey dear leader is.

At the end of the day you can either let someone run roughshod over you through fear, in which case they own you, or you can hit them back with what they least expect. So, in this case, have at. It's a building. We'll build it back, even better, after he's gone.

Call his bluff. Close it down.

Call his bluff. Close it down then. We'll reopen it two years from now.

The math has always leaned that way. I'll take a split Congress that grinds to a halt.

As a PA resident that donated to his campaign and voted for him, I'd like my money back.

Yet labor share is at a record low. So, labor's share of total output keeps declining, wages continue to not keep pace with inflation, and benefit costs are rising faster than worker's pay. Appears Metlife feels this is a sweet spot for corporate America, but it's certainly sour for US labor.

Feels about what most journalism is these days.

If we're a net negative 6-9 million barrels a week from our Strategic Petroleum Reserves, at what point do we reach a balance where we have National Security issues and their selling into the open market to manipulate prices has to stop? Or are they looking to make it up via hijacked Venezuela oil?

I have poster of Wolverine fighting four or five ninjas, by Frank Miller, that I have always felt was as beautiful, of form, movement, and symmetry, as many paintings hanging in any art museum in the world.

That said, when they all work for, and in lock step to, the Executive Branch, can we really name them as separate branches anymore?

Lol. You really are a consumate ball buster.

So, it was a tax then, Mr Secretary, on the American consumer?

At 9 million net negative draw down on strategic petroleum reserves last week, at what level of reserves are we at a critical level (I've read 300 million?) and what happen is 4 to 5 weeks, at current net negative drawdown rate, when we hit that level?

You misconstrued, I never said don't be invested. Goldman, as the lead underwriter of the most AI deals, always talks their book. And they have a habit of doing so hard at tops. So positioning new capital at 22x forward PE? Not without a lot of thought and consideration.

Abby Joseph Cohen, Goldman Sachs, January 27, 2000 at World Economic Forum, Davos. "The U.S. stock market is not overvalued.....The U.S. economy still has quite a long way to go." Tech Bubble burst in March 2000. So, yeah, cool story Goldman, let me go out an load up on equities at these valuations.

Nearer mid terms, donations will pick up. Advice to Dems looking for money, start showing those of us with a wallet ready to open, some backbone, some visible fight with GOP (and not your own Party members), and give me a reason I should part with my hard earned money. Cuz right now, you look weak.

020

sbelig.bsky.social @sbelig.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

A sentiment most Democrats need to get their arms wrapped around and embrace. Can't solve issues without removing the main issue first.

sbelig.bsky.social @sbelig.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

They'll blame Iran in order to escalate with a "reason".

Cheery discussion from talking heads can't hide lower/middle income families struggling, credit card use (as you showed) the bridge to getting through a pay period, high interest loan defaults up, and only AI infrastructure capex + 20% of HNW accounting for 60% of consumption keeps economy growing.

For those of us that lived through the tech bubble, so reminiscent. Waiting to see which one of these guys rolls out a sock puppet.

Thin skin doesn't even begin to explain this lunacy.

That's a really interesting thesis. Can you expand on that a bit? What has reduced their strength? If they were stronger what would that look like?

000

sbelig.bsky.social @sbelig.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Dems can be better than expected when focused. Too, voters can act differently than expected when seeking the ever elusive, "change". To win, Dems will need both those things to happen. A tall order, but not out of the realm of potential. Perhaps unlikely, but a modicum of possible.

There is little that can be done legislatively. There is plenty that can be done in the public domain.

Members wasn't meant as voters but those in Congress who continue to underwhelm in their dissent. Just because they're a minority shouldn't translate into acquiescence and silence. Instead, they should be shouting their disagreement as loud as they can on every platform they can, every single day.

The Democratic Party, and its members, could learn some things from Sotomayor about how to not just sit on their asses and do nothing........

Aside from becoming a cult in return, what then is the answer to defeating such a cultish opponent? Can a coalition be transformed into something more meaningful in the political arena? Or is doomed from the start, being such a temporary alliance?

Yeah, and it's called a Provisional Ballot.
