    The lie that will kill: rich people are job creators AND yet there is still unemployment. How many times you have to be told a lie and actionable evidence fails? The truth is the rich need the working class to give money BUT you don't need the rich. The saying: too much of something is bad, applies here. Sure you have robots for work but for a living economy? What you know what's sad? You can't just tell your family to suck it up while the rich owners keep getting a raise in their bonuses. The missed opportunities your family is losing out on are paid by heartless greed, corruption and nepotism.
    Here's the solution: pay loss and impeachment for breaking the law or obstruction for politicians and rich "owners"; too many politicians get off easy or free. That's why people think and feel the system is rigged, 2 rules = 1 for the poor and 1 for the rich, sometimes No Rule for the rich, lawless. Supporters of the rich have the worst because they lie to themselves and it's really sad

    I'm going to attempt to throw the monkey a banana here… give Trump benefit of a doubt. Because screw us, he's already the fucking president so rather than wishing for the worse I'm going to try to conjure up a miracle in my head. What if, Trump starts running his administration like the Apprentice. He's starting off with a bunch of swamp people… doesn't mean it has to end that way. These people are going to be in charge of important aspects of the country. If they screw up, hopefully the people will respond with the appropriate amount of gusto. Then Trump can come in and say "See, I gave you a chance. You screwed up. You're fired. I'm hiring a different guy for this job. And he does. He hires someone who is NOT a greedy corrupt Wall Street exec and this person shows the previous guy how the job really should be done. Proof is in the pudding, people are happy, Trump gets praise and fame and happy posts on Twitter about how great he is (maybe he really cares about… considering the size and appetite of his ego… ?).

    Ok. If this is the grand plan, maybe it's not such a bad thing? Like, he's starting off with a bunch of swamp creatures but they're all going to get fired eventually if they don't do what's right for the people.

    Of course there's probably so many kinks to this plan it's got about as many holes as swiss cheese.

    Despite this scenario possibly not being even reasonably feasible and the likelihood Trump really doesn't care and is just giving his buddies cabinet positions or they're paying him money… meh, the 1% possibility is there that this is what he's trying to do.

    Maybe like 0.1%… or 0.01%… or 0.000000000…..um, yeah.

    And HOW MANY CABINET MEMBERS OF REAGAN'S CABINET ENDED UP IN JAIL FOR WRONG DOING!!! Reagan set the tone of his administration and handed it off to criminals. Now we got a man who stuffs the swamp he promised to drain right into his cabinet… men who refuse to avoid conflicts of interest and whose interests are antithetical to the interests of the common man.

    If I hear one more talking head say the the words "Job Creators", as an idiots euphemism for labor crushers or wealth hoarders or fascist, plutocratic ass hats… I'm gonna hurl!!!

    The man that Donald put is charge as the Secretary of Labor, got fat and wealthy stealing tax dollars by keeping his employees so poor they qualifies for welfare. Then he laid them off and replaced them with automation… That's the man looking out for the interests of the American People. That pain you feel down there is the simple fact you are so boned!!! Like a trout filet, boned!!!

    republicans can't wait to do damage to our already fragile economical system anyway they can. draining the swamp is just another term for lets get rid of those in congress that actually care about the hard working middle class so we can raise taxes while giving tax breaks to the filthy rich. that is what draining the swamp is really all about and if it goes through and you are among the hard working middle class then be ready to pay higher taxes while republicans vote themselves pay raises behind closed doors. oh yeah, and trump? hell he'll be to busy tweeting to give a damn.

    Why is this even up for discussion. Anyone who has eyes and ears knows that he railed against global elites and Goldman Sachs but now he is feeling his cabinet with Goldman Sachs people and other establishment people. Why doesn't he fill it with outsiders like the people who campaigned for him or the people who voted for him? The only person who campaigned for him and may have got a position was Ben Carson. What about Rudy Giuliani or Chris Christie or Newt Gingrich. They were all tossed aside after they served their purpose. Where are their cabinet positions?

    Thank you Anderson for putting on an experienced, sensible, intelligent, patriotic and knowledgeable Robert Reich. i, along with him and millions others will continue to call out Don the con's baseless accusatory rhetoric and promises during his campaign, which are already being discarded. As Don the Con's rhetoric start to disprove themselves, his surrogates will have to really kick it into spin it to win it mode with yet more disinformation and Don the con through tweets and rallies. Does it not concern anyone on either side of this issue, that Don the Con's not held a press conference since July??? As with Bush compared to Gore, Don the Con compared to HRC, is not remotely in the same ballpark. Go back, watch the debates and see how he never answers a question with any knowledgeable substance, whether it be his economic plan, foreign policy and many other issues. When HRC was asked, she answered them all. He doesn't have the temperament to dig into the barrage of multi leveled issues coming at him from here on out. So, Pence and the cabinet will be dealing with the many issues and informing Don the con, whose cabinet chosen by him (perhaps not really chosen by him) will be quite influential to him. By the looks of the cabinet chosen, the decisions suggested by the them, will be 180 degrees in contrast to those that would benefit his voters. i sincerely hope i'm wrong, but so far, not looking too good. Please keep you eyes and ears open to see and hear how he's 'Attacking wall street', 'building the wall', 'leaving social security/medicare alone and intact' and other campaign promises. We all love this country regardless of our perspectives. Please lets stay factual, dig for facts, not emotionally charged misinformation. Reagan would be turning over in his grave if heard Don the Con openly ask the Russians to help him win the election, which he did, you can see the video asking him. Further, Reagan would never begin to allow the Russians to influence our elections as they did, regardless of his political preferences. That's a sobering though, no matter if you're a republican, democrat or independent.

    Btw-it's nice having someone there that knows what they are talking about to respond to Lords BS. You know he's BSing when you watch but no one can respond because he's usually the only one that's served in an administration that far back

    Job creators???? I thought the 2008 crash proved that false beyond any argument. I thought David Stockman , father of trickle down that finally admitted it didn't and doesn't work proved that beyond argument. I thought just looking at today's working class where jobs have gone overseas to increase corp. profits proves it too. Of all the fraudulent memes Corp America has force fed the American public over the years that one is the worst and most toxic. For god sakes can we finally at least put that baby to rest? Corp America has only one mandate; one goal — to maximize profits for its personnel and stockholders any way they can.

    Jeffry Lord pretends that the trumpet's long campaign attacks against Hillary's Sachs buddies are not a major character flaw–Drumpf is an habitual liar who misrepresents himself as the champ of the middle and working class. Sadly, these voters fell for the okidoke. Great white dopes. Chumps for Trump. He wants to perfume that swamp, not drain it.

  47. @docohm50

    January 14, 2024 at 5:39 pm

    CNN the problem with you is you take Trump literally where as his supporters understand what he is saying. For example, "Build the Wall" to Trump supporters means low cost recon balloons like the military uses in Afghanistan. You can have one balloon every 50 miles that can detect human trafficking along the border day and night that will pin point the illegals. The MSM envisions a wall that will take years and cost billions. Balloons will be up in 30 days!!

New warship deployed, Trump’s son threatened & more | Experts on Iran

This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the US will target a complex network built by Iran over years to allow its entities to evade Washington’s wide-ranging sanctions. The move comes after six months of a war launched by the US and Israel that has since reached a stalemate amid a lack of diplomatic resolution.

Other developments in the war this week include the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and Iran putting a bounty on the president’s son, Barron Trump.

Experts speak to CNN on this week’s developments from the Iran war.

Are US military & tech moves in Asia the right ones? Fareed discusses

Published

Joint military drills between the United States and South Korea have been cut in half, after President Donald Trump called for their reduction, citing his close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Based on direction from the President and Secretary of War, the Department has substantially reduced Exercise Ulchi Freedom Shield while continuing training that enhances tactical capability,” a Pentagon official said.

The struggle for global supremacy between the US and China is no more evident in the race to lead AI. While Silicon Valley remains dominant, China has managed to keep up. Recent Chinese models are closing the gap with the best American models and AI is widely incorporated into everyday life.

Fareed Zakaria and experts examine these recent developments from Asia and what they mean for the US.
