Looks like someone un-muted their alarm system. Mine's been going off for months.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Mine's been blaring since 2016.
I'll be honest, I did mute mine for a bit in the early Biden admin.
The alarm and the radio had separate volume knobs.
It's been on full blast since he dropped the announcement of the first set of tariffs.
LOL... "starting"?? "STARTING"??? Jesus christ.
About 2 hours into the news coverage on Septembre 11 2000 give or take a year is about when mine hit full volume.
An article about a talk show appearance.
Tomorrow there'll be a talk show appearance about the article.
This is why I have issues taking rawstory seriously.
A story about a story, but not examining the journalism, just ... a story about a story.
A link supposedly to watch the story that is actually just a link to the page you're already reading.
The included clip is to youtube, not MSNBC, and it's not even to the official MSNBC youtube channel which absolutely does have this same piece posted.
Exactly, Rawstory is basically the left wing version of Fox News, telling you what you want to hear instead of actual news. My basic takeaway from his statements is that the GDp is still growing just not quite as fast as it was last year.
I’m not an economist so I don’t know but the the S&P is also nearing in on a record highs again and it seems like most of the turmoil in the markets that we saw at the beginning of April is gone for now. I thought the Iran bombing would spook the market but not really. I know the markets aren’t the economy but it’s a bellwether for how the oligarchs and corporations are feeling about it.
The GDP is still growing, just not quite as fast as it was last year
In the way that our entire economy is based on measuring itself, not growing as fast as last year is considered complete failure
the turmoil in the markets is gone for now
The stock market =/= the health of the economy. Obviously the market being bad is not good, but the market being good does not mean things arent bad
The stock market =/= the health of the economy.
I know, I said as much in my post just a sentence or two after the quote of mine that you used.
Nah fam this was/is/will be Biden's economy. Unless it becomes good, then it's Trump's economy
“When I wear my pants and I don’t shit in them that’s me!” “When I wear my pants and shit them that’s Biden!” 🫲🍊🫱
Let's ignore the obvious for months, then act shocked that the obvious was happening all along.
Web page gave my phone herpes. Here’s a clean link: https://archive.is/wip/aNQ5a
Not much of an article.
Did I make the right choice to snag a discounted open box PS5 pro before the tariffs/bullshit started? What do you guys think?
I’m on it for GTAVI. And assumed things would be very different by the time it launches.
There are certainly great games and exclusives for it, and I tend to prefer PS over Xbox games. I highly doubt you'll regret having it.
Cyberpunk runs great on it, and the new Indiana Jones game is really awesome, with uncanny voice acting.
