President Biden did more for America’s workers than any President. His IRA was creating good paying jobs in predominantly red states. Of course, tRump has ruined all that
"The federal statute of limitations for insider trading is generally five years from the date of the commission of the crime. This means that the government has five years from the date of the crime to bring criminal charges against an individual for insider trading. However, this time frame can be extended in certain circumstances".
If lawyers start collecting the evidence now and continue to do so, indictments can be made on Day 1 of a new administration. That would be awesome!
There will be NO CONSEQUENCES. Have we not learned that by now? Reality Winner went to prison for possession of 1 classified document! Trump had boxes of top secret information & nothing happened
You’re always good, but this one was exceptional! I was chuckling all the way through. And you are so right: this man is amazingly ignorant. I bet his general knowledge is at a 6th grade level. Combine that with an ego the size of the Empire State Building and an absence of character, and you get America’s total destruction.
If he’s still President in 4 years America will be dead.
In 2013 the global company that I worked for decided to move our production to Monterey MX. (Monterey has factories from Avon to GM.) We were one of 19 plants in the US and Canada that they closed after purchasing the company 5 years prior. They sent people up from Monterey to learn our manufacturing processes. One of the workers was a machinist. Our machinists told him they make between $18-$22 (per hour). He said he made more at $24 per day not realizing they were taking about their hourly wage. That’s a boarding country, not overseas but right next door.

On bringing manufacturing, heavy or light, back to America.
History lesson One. In the 1950s, which Trump likes to harken back to, America was, for all intents and purposes, the sole supplier of much of the world's needs. Europe's and Asia's manufacturing base was in ruins. Funny how 500 lb. bombs does that. We were intact. During the war, we developed the scientific method to make manufacturing more efficient. Post war the manufacturing sector said "not needed" and went about their way. American steel plants were old before the war, yet with the huge demand for steel the owners like USS saw no reason to invest in new plants. Why is foreign steel so much cheaper than ours now? Because their steel plants weren't built in the age of Methuselah. Remember Trump in his first term saying he'd bring the industry back? Didn't happen. Only a couple of old facilities were reopened. No new mini-mills.
Manufacturing lesson One. We didn't have those jobs and production facilities stolen from us. Guys in suits at the top of high towers, looking to boost their profits and hence their bonuses (compensation) did it. Cheap labor, no responsibility for working environment or labor costs like health care and compensation; all no longer under their list of problems.
What does it take to open a new manufacturing facility? Rick's right. Money. But more than that. Infrastructure, buildings, equipment, and hopefully workers capable of doing the job. In my neck of the woods a new chip plant opened up last year. The foreign owners had to bring in their own workers to get it up and running until they could find and train enough locals to do the job.
Corporations love to talk capitalism, but just love to have someone else foot the bill. "Want a factory in your community? Pay for all the water and energy costs plus give us a no tax deal for a decade". Then they'll decide to threaten to move if they don't get an extension.
Equipment. All the equipment used in the past to make things got sent out of country, whether to Mexico or further. And, to quote Skank from "The Crow", "There ain't no coming back". So we have to invest big dollars on high tech automated machinery. We don't have the capacity to make anywhere near the amount we'd need. So we will have to buy from those folk who are doing the manufacturing now.
Just consider, all that cost investment will get passed along in the cost of goods made. The price won't be lower, even if you could get 15 year olds to work in factories and live in massive dormitories rotating shifts on the provided beds and eating in slop houses.
If it all would work, why haven't the Koch's and Musk and friends gone for the gravy. Oh, yeah.
After 6 bankruptcies, conviction of 34 counts of fraud, 2 convictions of sexual assault & defamation, 2 impeachments in vain because a single overpowerful corrupt ancient Senator refused to do the right thing for our nation, if ANYONE believes Trump is playing anything more complicated than tiddlywinks, they deserve what they're getting. I forgot this is YouTube, where the admins are snowflakes. I plan to unsubscribe from all YT providers & use only Substack. Feh.
Exactly...not to mention the bilking of students of millions before he ever ran the FIRST time...The "trump university" in which he lost the lawsuit because of his scam ...AND 6 bankrupties...and his other crappy reations to all people of color...and ethnicinity..We all KNEW in 2016 this was NO real contender for a ETHICAL WHITE HOUSE...Why are so many people finally coming to see what WE VOTED IN ( not me!!)...A lawsuit that important should've kept him out...but thr REPUGLICANS LIKED HIM BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A GREAT BUSINESS MAN...What a bunch of deluded people ..The repuglicans THOUGHT they could control him...big surprise...and THIS time around ALL the pendejos he brought in are jusy as fascistic as he is..Then there's his attachment to putin....I am repeating myself...and I'm so tired of this...WAKE UP!!!
I’ve come to rely on your commentary and analysis. One very minor quibble-I don’t hear as well as I used to and I don’t enjoy the videos as much because I miss more content. I’m sure it’s a lot more work to write them but are there transcripts available? I, for one, would sure appreciate that. Or maybe they’re already there and just don’t know how to find them? Keep up the good fight!
I get it on the hearing part. I'm there too. But Rick is more understandable than many. That said, I'm still a believer in print media, written in classic journalism style where you get the who, what, when, where, and why at the top and then the details are expanded below it. I've seen far too many videos (not Rick's) where the click bait title makes you think it will talk about something but that something never really is found.
It dawned on me this evening why he is destroying the economy!! I think there is method in his madness. He wants to be able to, (In his deranged mind) have a reason to invoke martial law or the Insurrection Act or whatever!! He is doing this on purpose!!
I don't think so. He might invoke the Insurrection Act at some point but that's not part of a "plan".
Donnie boy could've invested his inheritance into an index fund and left it alone.
Likewise, after Inauguration Day, he could've just gone golfing and left the economy alone.
He isn't capable of doing either thing. He has to demonstrate his brilliance to the world. He has to stand in the spotlight. But he's a moron. If he did nothing, everything would be better. When he does anything, shit falls apart.
He's the very definition of a parasite. He lives off of things other people do, and provides no value. If he just did nothing, nothing at all, so that no one noticed him, everything would be better. Everything.
The phone stopped ringing. When Dr. Jeckel Mr. Hyde was ignored he went on a spree.
Btw, since you made a — very good — trump voter impression, I just wanna say one thing: isn’t it fucking WEIRD this “mister trump” shit?
Seriously. Have you ever heard anyone say “mister Biden”, “mister Obama”, “mister Bush”, etc? Or “mister <anyone>”, really?
“President” is one thing, but “mister”, that’s some obsequious, pathetic beta cuck behavior right there.
Rick, you should know trump better than that by now — if there was anything that could get his dick hard we’d be in a much better place 😂

Thanks for making me laugh Rick. Your impressions of MAGA dimwits are hilarious. 😆

Just upgraded to the paid version - this is therapeutic

At these point, after all of the insanity, maybe screwing in tiny screws would be therapeutic.
