What happened to all those that were stating how they wanted to take trump out last election? You know how they were. Their posts have all been taken down.

Let's hope that the Fed will lower interest rates by 25 bp only in this week's meeting.
Let's hope that all economic indicators will come in a lot worse than expected.

Trump was literally *screaming* about bloody deportations and WWW3 at the debate. This guy voted for trump in 2016 and wanted to vote for Vivek and Haley in 2024. But ok....somehow it's Harris's fault. Jesus Christ 😂😂

What's the problem? Didn't Trump himself encourage the "second amendment people" to take matters into their own hands?
