    Why? Does he think that's gonna change the ruling? Hoping to get a 3rd vote (Kavanaugh???) to only lose 6-3.

    I didn't argue that. I argued they'd impede growth in 2025, but that things would get better in 2026 (the war in Iran may change that). I overestimated their impact on growth, but growth rates were down from the Biden era despite other pro-growth/market legislative changes. How much of that...

    I think there's plenty of good reasons for attacking the mullahs and their weapons stockpiles, but the Trump Admin didn't make much of a case for it. Maybe they should have hired you!

    I mean, you are implying that they are stealing it. And they would steal it. But it never existed in the first place. These "future investments" in the USA in the trade deals were just pure BS. Nonsense on paper. The tariffs continue to cloud the Trump Presidency. Approval rating slipping...

    Trump can be better on crime issues than Biden, and the crime rate could have dropped in 2023 and 2024. Because Floyd/Covid is what caused the spike. As they receded ... so did crime.

    The people claiming the Iran War is a disaster are completely insane. We've killed more generals in Iran than have had US servicemen killed in the conflict (with almost half our 13 KIAs having died in an accident).

    Big Will ... I never argued that crime reporting is perfectly accurate. I argued that it was accurate enough that the 2023 and 2024 drops weren't about fake numbers but instead were about a major drop in crime. As we have seen, that proved to be right. The thing is, a PD has more incentive to...

    Btw, as I predicted, the crime rate declined under Trump in 2025. It continued (even accelerated) from the downward trajectory under Biden in 2023 and 2024. I happen to think - to the extent the President can influence crime rates - Trump has done a good job, used some interesting policies...

    Crime rates are dropping across the U.S, in some cases reaching their lowest levels in decades. Data from 40 American cities shows a decrease in crime across 11 out of 13 categories of offenses last year compared to 2024, the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) found in a new analysis released on...

    Yet again no argument, no rebuttal, no anything. The crime rate was down a lot in 2023, down a lot in 2024, and down a lot in 2025 (under Trump). It's trending down again (it's early) in 2026. That is every bit of evidence. You offered no evidence, per usual. Do you actually think you are...

    Fear of the activist base. Similar to fear of Trump among GOP politicians (let's just say that even a lot of MAGA types aren't as invested as Big Don in tariffs).
