Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 07, 2025

First today

Gallifrey

Soitenly! (Curly of the 3 Stooges)

I am certain that trump got played and is now a pawn of musk! musk bought him for $277,000,000

Feeling more certain every day.

I am certain that trump’s future tax cuts will massively increase the debt, just like the last one did($7.8 trillion).

trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act failed to stimulate the economy as he said it would.

Spoiler: No con tax cut has ever stimulated the economy like they said it would.

The stated point of tax cuts is to stimulate the economy.

The genuine point of tax cuts is to give more money to people who don’t need it.

I am certain that trump will break many if not all his promises.

Tariffs? What tariffs? Not yet in office, trump is already running away from his promises.

Promises made, promises broken, just like last time. Backing off on his mass deportations too. His owners depend on that cheap, captive labor force.

trump has replaced his promise of an easy price rollback with a warning that reducing the cost of stuff will not be easy.

“It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will.”

The liar in chief knows he has no fracking clue how to bring prices down. The usual tool, raising interest rates is a no-go for the new residency’s owners/sponsors, the investor class. They’ll 25th him in a heart beat.

In short, trump can smell the rot, it’s wafting from his own diaper. There is no economic sunshine in the financial forecasts. This dim prognosis should be no surprise. When was the last time a con President had any sustained economic success? And didn’t leave a mess for the Dems to fix.

hint: it goes back more then a century, even before their idiotic “trickle down” BS that caused the Great Depression. Add in the coming bird flu and this gang of imbeciles may eclipse it.

Concerning today’s Nick Anderson, ………………..ahem, it’s “Far Right-Wing Populist” and “Extreme Far Right-Wing Populist.”

Scott, you have to think with more discipline to have any certitude.

Concerning today’s Robert Ariail, yep, impetuous, right-wing populism is again trying to overwrite truth with lies.

Concerning today’s Danziger………….that’s all trumpster fire and right-wing populism is good for, impetuous, finger-giving, not a lick more.

She’s not even ‘For Imprint Certain’?

Concerning today’s (Jan 7) Henry Payne … WTH is he going on about? Did I miss something?

Kamala certified Trump’s win and she didn’t even say “What the hell am I DOING????”

The Democrats acted with class and the republicans acted like children at a “Paw Patrol” concert!

Kamala should have smiled and said, “No, I am not going to certify this result,” Just to wipe the smirk off of the Speaker’s face. Then said, “Gotcha!” and then certified it.

A good paradigm in which to operate. Most people desire this unattainable thing. You see it in the absolutes posted every day. I suppose it gives some comfort, but it’s not very realistic, imo.

Death and Taxes, Carmen.

Is it true another political cartoonist or writer quit the WAPO today? I did not read anything about it if it is true. Does anyone know?

And tRump wants to merge the US and Canada. OK, we’ll make the US the 11th province.
