So let's look at what was actually said: https://www.bea.gov/news/2025/gross-domestic-product-1st-quarter-2025-advance-estimate "The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected an increase in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and a decrease in government spending. These movements were partly offset by increases in investment, consumer spending, and exports. For more information, refer to the "Technical Notes" below." So two things happened that negatively impacted the GDP. The increase in important (to save money on any tariffs that might have come) counted against the GDP. The upside t ok that is we will sell those items and they will be part of the GDP later. The other was a big decrease in government spending. That's a positive thing that doesn't really reflect the consumer and manufacturer activity. What offset the government decrease and the increased imports was investments, consumer spending and exports. Those things all went up. That's great news. Now, if we imported a ton of crap to get ahead of tariffs and it buggered up the GDP for one quarter, so be it. But, those imports were likely purchased early. That means they likely won't be purchased later in the year. So this spike in imports will go away. Also, tariffs will prevent people from buying imports that negatively effect the GDP. So that will be better. Just stay calm. The news makes this look bad. It isn't. The data is fine. The data is actually really good. Just because the GDP took a hit doesn't mean jobs are going away. Those are up by over 300k. It doesn't mean businesses are struggling. In fact, they are boosting orders to save money. Everything is fine.

First, tariffs have not hit the economy yet. for imports, tariffs won't be on the shelves (as it were) until late August or September. Second, the "growth" we had under Biden was primarily government spending and then medical sector. We did not grow significantly in any other area for the last two years. Consequently, all the job growth was either government jobs or health care related.

So you admit I'm right. Case closed.

Younarr the one that told us that Trump is like Hitler because Hitler wasn't like Hitler. No one believes you. You guys have all these ridiculous, emotional out burst and then support things like rapists and murderers from other countries before the American people. So we don't care what your opinion is because you clearly aren't serious.

Oh a lefty wrote an opinion piece in the WSJ and that makes Trump wrong. Lol. You people will fall for anything.

They are still redacting victims names. Dan Bongino is in the FBI. If it was ok to release it, it would be out.

Actually, the Council of Presidents was a claim by a former staffer. I have no idea if she's been on Fox News. Yes it is because Asylum must be claimed the first time you cross a border and the vast majority of asylum seekers did not come from Mexico. They were invited by Joe, though. And a very small number were deported. They counted the turn backs, just like Obama did. Uh, no. They targeted a dad, whose daughter was sexually assaulted by a guy claiming to be female while they were in a girls bathroom. He wasn't violent. None of them were violent. Some protested sexually graphic materials in the library. Well that is a bald face lie. Do you not remember Biden saying that he will take any means necessary to keep tlTrump out of office? Then he added, as an after thought, "constitutionally." Then the WH sent the #3 from the DOJ to be an entry level prosecutor in NY and met multiple times with the DA from GA and her boy toy. They also, illegally, set up a special council with unlimited scope, raided his home without a specific location to look for the documents (warrants have to be very specific), planted top secret folders to make the documents seem important and good gawd so much more. But yeah, Trump (who declined to go after Hillary) is the problem. You guys aand your projection. And we've shown you on so many occasions that you aren't using the term cognitive dissonance properly. Just stop already. I'm embarrassed for you.

You are missing the point. LA has had very high winds for as long as recorded history. Santa Ana winds have been recorded as high as 167 mph. So saying that 100 mph is absolutely AGW is complete speculation. Are you trying to make the claim that the bay was named Windy Bay because of politicians?

If your case was so strong you wouldn't be dipping your pen in the Hitler ink.

India is rumored to have signed a trade deal.

Lmao...I never said sleepy Joe was in charge. The council of Presidents was. They were radical. They opened the border. They funded Hamas. They allowed terrorists onto their staff. They persecuted parents that attended school board meetings. They opened up the Banana Republic style lawfare on Trump and his staff. I could go on. The point is, that was not normalcy. That was the greatest threat to our republic since the south separated. Really? So I hated the other so much that I supported the guy that made the "other" more prosperous? You do know Trump lifted more black and Hispanic citizens out of poverty than any president ever? He is the one that signed prison reform to counter Joe Biden's law that unfairly targeted black men. Get a clue @Hodad. You are everything you claim I am.

That was a disadvantage. We have to be more aggressive because Joe Biden's council of presidents destroyed the system for their political gain.

Hmmm...I wonder what the explorers name was that first discovered the LA basin and named the bay, windy bay? Hmm

Just remember that Ipsos was one of the worst polls in 2024. It almost fell outside the 95% confidence. https://americanresearchgroup.com/ratings/2024/USPres.html Maybe try something more accjrate?

It's an article from yesterday about a polls that came out this week. And the last right/wrong track poll was on the 27th. That's not old information.

Awww, are you having big feelings? Do you need someone to validate them sweety? Too bad. Trump has nearly flipped the wrong/right direction polling in just 100 days. That tells you everything you need to know. You cherry picked one piece of data on an incomplete policy that the left has spent thousands of hours trying to denigrate. So what if they were able to convince a few dolts that tariffs aren't working before they are even in place? The reality is, the country is turning around and that is how Americans see it.

I was pointing out all the "great" things about liberals. Like expensive housing, bad health care and the option to committ suicide just because. Maybe it was a little tactless. Sorry about that. I just can't believe yall allow assisted suicide. I've seen how suicide affects people that lose their loved one. I've seen kids abandoned by their mom. Sons that couldn't handle heart break. Colleagues that felt hopeless. To think that a society wants to make that possible baffles me. Everyone that I've seen take their own life had a lot to live for. But, you guys voted for it. So that blood is on your hands. I know you probably didn't, but your countrymen did.

At least y'all still have MAID? After all you have tons of land but somehow can't find room for housing, exceptionally long lines for a doctor and more taxes than income, maybe MAID is the answer?

He doesn't see how this makes him look bad.

Any poll or pundit that tells you Trump isn't liked by his voters is lying to you. They want the changes that are happening.

The point is, it has always been extremely windy.

We can, but all of these things have been litigated in the past. You have been shown how they are lies and you refuse to acknowledge you are wrong. Why should we take the time to dig up all the facts to tpresent to someone that refuses to acknowledge facts?

It was so unprecedented that the Spanish explorers in the 1800s named the bay in LA, windy bay (translated).

Thats Canada's problem. They f'd themselves.
