Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Can we start vetting sources a bit better?

What is this site?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

The site is hosted in Iceland. Whois link

It's bias is extreme left. It is marked as a questionable source. Mediabiasfactcheck link

It does not disclose ownership or funding sources. They do not provide sources for their articles.

“Heartbreak” isn’t really the word I’d use here lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, it can be heartbreaking to realize your intelligence equals that of a toaster.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

can't be heartbreaking if you don't have a heart

Doesn't anyone care about the poor CEOs anymore? Lol. Trump said he was going apply tariffs, which always reduce trade. He's getting exactly what he voted for.

Face eating leopards gotta eat too.

If only someone had told him the consequences of voting for Trump

Fuller runs Freightwaves. He’s all over the place prognosticating the shipping and logistics community.

I could find no source for the OP post other than the linked popup “news” site.

Fuller is more recently quoted as saying the “recession” (the market downturn due to trump’s idiotic knee-jerk tariff implementation) is over and expecting a market change.

Dude’s an idiot, just another CEO analyst always trying to put a positive spin on any negative event to do with his industry.

Freightwaves also does the majority of its business selling pay for play to T&L business owners to be talking heads on podcasts, interviews, the you tubes and similar.

This is probably a play so that people don't think they're giving money to an org that's killing their business

Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Suffer, you stupid tool.

[–] Grandwolf319 10 points 1 week ago

Very clear example of the media being very divorced from middle class realities.

Bro, we don’t feel bad for poor people who voted for their demise, and you think we would care about CEOs?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Not killing enough minorities to make the hit to your wallet worth it, Craig?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Womp womp.

The only sympathy I have is for the overworked employees.

"But how could the Leopards eat MY face???" screamed the man who voted for the Leopards-Eating-People's-Faces Party at the Leopards-Eating-People's-Faces Party rally.

Absolute fucking clowns.

I'm not heartbroken. I'm perfectly OK to see this asshole living in a refrigerator box under an overpass.

Stock Market is Up.

That's all these people care about. The US can become a country that only knows how to make weird AI advertisements and MLM scams, and so long as GDP goes up these people will think everything is fine.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

The stock market is around the same level it was 6 months ago and still down from the beginning of his presidency

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

LOL! I hope he starves.

This just the beginning. It takes time for all these effects to show themselves. Takes time for mortgages to go I to foreclosure. Etc.
