From Fruit Loops™ to Doom Loops:

The latter two points were what attracted my attention. And both indicate that Democrats are not done falling into their Doom Loop, which I discussed in my earlier column.

A doom loop, in economics, describes a situation in which one negative economic condition creates a second negative condition, which in turn creates a third negative condition or reinforces the first, resulting in a downward spiral.

The Fruit Loops are in a Doom Loop and it's a delicious deep dish..., two scoops..., sprinkles..., gay...,

"That’s right – the current Democrat conventional wisdom is that there was not enough browbeating of the swing voters with the idea that “Trump is the devil.” And now, to impede Trump’s second presidential term, they and their allies believe they need to talk some more about how Donald Trump is a crude barbarian crook who abuses women and minorities and wants to overthrow America’s democratic society in favor of dictatorship."

I keep saying, they're gonna double down. It's not just me. I know these people. They raised me...

January 21, 2025 – Democrat leadership demands Ukrainian surrender or else government shutdown.

The West has to move Putin away from China. That is the real threat.

Apparently Biden doesn't believe Russia can reach Delaware.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

How dare Biden allow a country to defend itself any way they feel?

Listen to you yanky doodle knobends. lol

I think Jake Sullivan belongs in a padded cell.

 

[Politruk]

We can't do without China as a trading partner.

 

[Politruk]

This is not Biden's war. It is not Zelenskyy's war. It is Putin's war and nobody else's.

We can do without a Russian/Chinese alliance. China has many problems of its own:

China’s Economy Is in Deep Trouble​

This week’s disappointing Chinese GDP (gross domestic product) numbers showed that Chinese economic growth has slowed to 4.75 percent from the very rapid annual economic growth rate of seven to eight percent during the 2010s. This should be a wakeup call for Chinese economic policymakers. It should be viewed as confirmation that the Chinese economy is in deep trouble and that its economic growth model is now well past its sell-by date.

Unless the Chinese government introduces major structural economic reforms that encourage domestic consumer spending, China could experience a Japanese-style lost economic decade. That could have major consequences for the world economic outlook given that China is the world’s second-largest economy and until recently was the world’s main engine of economic growth and its main consumer of international commodities.

The root cause of China’s present economic problems is the highly unbalanced economic model that it has pursued over the past 30 years. Not only did China excessively rely on investment in general and on housing investment in particular to drive economic growth. It also became overly dependent on exports and on a steady supply of cheap labor from its agricultural sector.

One measure of the unbalanced state of the Chinese economy is the fact that investment accounts for as much as 42 percent of GDP. That is approximately double the rate of the advanced economies and has given rise to a major problem of manufacturing excess capacity. With domestic household demand unable to fully absorb its manufacturing output, China has become dependent on foreign markets to take up its manufacturing surplus. This might have made sense when China was a small, underdeveloped economy with a limited international economic footprint. However, now that China has become an industrial powerhouse, its desire to export its way out of its overcapacity problem is being met with increasing resistance both in the United States and Europe.

They already have an alliance.

They already have an alliance.

For now. We have to work on moving Russia towards the West and away from war.

Russia doesn't want to move towards the West.

Until Putin resigns and they hold new elections, the West should not entertain the thought.

That just might happen, if Russia loses the Ukraine war in a decisive and humiliating fashion.

How can we trigger Putin today in order to fuck with the Cheeto?
