U.S. economic growth would likely get the biggest boost in the coming two years from the Democrats, headed by Kamala Harris, winning the White House and Congress in this November's elections, according to Goldman Sachs.

Under a Republican sweep, or even with a divided government led by Donald Trump, economic output would take a hit next year, mostly from increased tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies, Goldman said in a note late on Tuesday.

Job growth under a Democrat government would also likely be stronger than under the Republicans, Goldman said.

Right now is the time to get involved in the defeat of America's most dangerous enemy since the Cold War.

The traditional election season, starting on Labor Day, is a thing of the distant political past. And considering the magnitude of the threat to democracy, even waiting for the end of the primary season may be too late.

The worst president in our history is, arguably, stronger within the leadership ranks of the Republican Party than he has ever been. He is now the most dangerous presidential candidate in U.S. history. As a consequence, the great question before the rest of us is whether enough of us are ready to do whatever is necessary to defeat this threat as we have all those that have come before. Sadly, there is reason to believe that this time we may not meet the challenge. Right now, Donald Trump is one of two people who could be our next president. The race, at the moment, between him and President Joe Biden, is too close to call.

The people with their heads up their ass over Biden's age are either hypocrites or dissemblers. On Inauguration Day 2025, Donald Trump will be 95.66% of Joe Biden's age. And Trump will also be older in January of 2025 than Biden was upon assuming office in 2021. Biden may have a lifelong stutter but he is still grounded in reality in a way the narcissistic nepo baby Donald Trump never was.

Joe Biden by any objective metric has been one of the most successful presidents in modern U.S. history. He has led the creation of more major legislative initiatives benefiting the American people than any president in 60 years. He oversaw the creation of more than 14 million jobs during his first three years in office. He has brought down inflation and reduced the prices of vital medicines to affordable levels. He has restored American leadership worldwide, expanded our vital alliances like NATO, and stood up to our enemies. All presidents face challenges and make missteps. But it is hard to deny that in the wake of the U.S. economic recovery, the passage of the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the CHIPs and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act, the expansion of NATO, and the creation of new Indo-Pacific alliances, Biden’s record is formidable. That a president with this record is in a horse race with a candidate who is a menace to the country, who led an insurrection, who is a pathological liar whom courts have found to be a fraud and a rapist, and who has no real ideas, no credible policy proposals, no record of actually ever achieving anything for the American people is chilling.

In normal times, over 40% of US voters would NOT pick a notorious sex offender for president. But these are not normal times.

You would have thought that the sight of mobs carrying Trump flags and weapons and chanting for the death of Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021, would have been alarm enough. You would have thought the same of Trump’s Access Hollywood tape, in which he confessed his impulse to abuse women. You would have thought the two dozen women who accused him of abuse would have had that effect. Even if none of those things were quite warning enough, you would have thought the findings in the E. Jean Carroll case would have been enough. After all, respected federal judge Lew Kaplan wrote, “The fact that Mr. Trump sexually abused—indeed, raped—Ms. Carroll has been conclusively established and is binding in this case.” It should have been enough. But so far, it has not been.

And who would have thought that the party of Ronald Reagan is now led by a stooge of the Evil Empire?

You would have thought that Trump reaching out on national television to our Russian adversaries for aid during the 2016 campaign would have been enough. You would have thought the conclusive findings of every major U.S. intelligence agency that Russia sought to aid Trump’s campaign would have been enough. You would have thought that Robert Mueller’s finding 10 instances of possible obstruction of justice by Trump would have been enough. You would have thought Trump kowtowing to Vladimir Putin and taking his word over that of our intelligence and law enforcement communities would have been enough. You would have thought his illegally withholding aid to Ukraine to seek dirt on Joe Biden would have been enough. You would have thought his impeachment for that would have been enough.

Are you willing to spend more time and money than in previous election cycles to end a major threat to Western democracy and to undermine homegrown fascism for at least the rest of this decade?

So, ask yourself, is that enough to make you do more than you have done? Is that enough to commit for the next 10 months to do more than you have ever done during an election year? To give more? To canvas more? To spread the word more? To help get voters to the polls? To ensure every member of your family, your friends, your co-workers do the same? The stakes are too high to do less than everything you can.

I rarely quote Margaret Thatcher and would probably disagree with at least 90% of her views. But she did know something about winning elections and combating the USSR. If she was good for just one thing, it's for this observation in a speech made in her retirement.

[N]o battles are ever finally won; you have to go on winning them by example and by being prepared to defend your way of life against those who would attack it.

If we learn just one thing from the Trump threat, it's that we can never rest on our past laurels. A slacker democracy is one which will not outlast a determined demagogue.

Civic involvement by pro-democracy citizens is absolutely necessary to maintain freedom.

Trump threatens India with reciprocal tariffs

US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose reciprocal tariffs on India, reiterating his long-standing complaints that New Delhi charges high tariffs, The Independent reports.

Trump made the remarks at a news conference at Mar-a-Lago, standing next to his nominee for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The former president, who threatened tariffs on several countries as part of his “America First” approach, ended preferential trade status for India during his first term in 2019.

Under the first Trump administration, India faced a bitter tariff war, which affected trade ties between both sides even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr Trump maintained a close relationship.

Forget about the word tariff for a second, Mr. Trump said, adding that: “If they tax us, we tax them the same amount. They tax us. We tax them. And they tax us almost in all cases and we haven’t been taxing them.”

He also added:

“India charges a lot. Brazil charges a lot. If they want to charge us, that’s fine, but we will charge them the same.”

India-China relations have gained momentum over the past two decades as tensions between Washington and China have risen sharply. Under the Biden administration, relations improved further as Washington viewed India as a strategic partner to counterbalance China’s rise in the Indo-Pacific region.

However, analysts say India-US ties under the second Trump administration will have to be put to the test with the looming tariff war.

After winning the election, Trump threatened to impose 100 per cent tariffs on the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – if they try to replace the dollar in international trade. Mr. Trump said on Truth Social on November 30:

“We require a commitment from these countries that they will neither create a new Brics Currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100 per cent tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US economy.”

Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said in December that India was not nervous about co-operating with Trump. Jaishankar said:

“India is in a much more advantageous position than many other countries to build deeper relations with the incoming Donald Trump 2.0 administration in the US. Some countries are looking at Trump 2.0 as a political challenge, we are not.”

The US is India’s top export destination, with exports of goods and services from it set to reach $120 billion in 2023.

Not Even A Week Into Presidency and Trump and his Monkey's are Already Planning on Blocking Educational Efforts, Spreading Nazi Propaganda in Schools, and Blocking Student Grants. Trying To Raise Medical Fees, and Cut Programs Protecting Millions of American Lives. He's Pushing Worse Laws Regarding Abortion and Women's Health and Rights, and The List Goes On and On...

YOU DID THIS AMERICA, SO WHEN WE END UP JUST LIKE NAZI GERMANY, AND HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, JUST KNOW THAT YOU MADE IT HAPPEN, YOU BROUGHT ABOUT YOUR OWN SUFFERING.

US Government announces final schedule for Social Security, VA, SSI and SSDI by 2025 https://www.tododisca.com/en/us-government-final-schedule-social-security-va-ssi-ssdi-2025/

Hundreds of millions will die, the economy will fail, millions of people will be homeless, students will be destitute.... How did Hitler rise to complete power? He cut off education, controlled the information spread, banned any other voices. Spread misinformation and lies to a soft headed braindead population that just wanted an excuse to do harm, and were too stupid to grasp the simple concepts of knowledge and accessibility. And he turned them against a population and made the "others" the enemy. Here we are again. I hope everyone who voted as such will suffer, tremendously. In fact, I know they will... They're just too mentally deficient to get that yet.

Maybe it'll take a family member dying due to lack of resources and proper healthcare, maybe hundreds of kids put up for adoption by people who weren't prepared to raise them, maybe it'll take countless senseless shootings and kids being abused, hundreds of families homeless, and suicides reaching an all time high... Maybe it'll take a mass Exodus for people to understand.... But by then it'll already be too late. And most of those people were stupid, and they'll deserve it. But for the non ***** masses... Revenge is in order. Because if you're thinking that I'm going to passively watch, you're wrong. When shit hits the fan, and it will... I'm going to do what I have to survive.

Fed’s Powell marks patient approach after rate cut

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point amid what could be an economic challenge when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year, according to Reuters.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election would not have a “near-term” impact on US monetary policy. Powell added that the Fed will continue to evaluate the data to account for inflation, which slowed markedly last year and is approaching the US central bank’s 2% target.

It’s a process that takes some time. It’s all of the policy changes that are happening. What’s the net effect? The overall effect on the economy at a given time? That’s a process … we go through all the time with every administration.

However, the exact destination remains unknown and will be even harder to determine if fiscal and tax policy changes as quickly as Trump has promised. Powell, who was appointed by Trump and then clashed with him during the Republican president’s first term, will now oversee monetary policy in the first critical months of the new administration.

So far, inflation and interest rates have fallen in line with the Fed’s forecast, which believes price pressures continue to ease amid continued economic growth and the labour market.

Elyse Ausenbaugh, head of investment strategy at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, did not rule out the possibility of another quarter per cent rate cut at the Fed’s final meeting of the year on December 17-18.

The easy cuts have been made, and maybe December won’t be too contentious either. Thereafter, I imagine the Fed is asking the same questions as investors – to what extent and when will the incoming Trump administration implement its campaign policy proposals?

Powell said the economic outlook was good at this point and the Fed hoped it would remain that way.

This further recalibration of our policy stance will help maintain the strength of the economy and the labor market, and will continue to enable further progress on inflation as we move toward a more neutral stance over time.

The Fed’s policy statement noted that risks to the labour market and inflation are “roughly in balance,” repeating language from the statement issued after the September 17-18 meeting.

Powell stated that the change in wording did not mean that inflation had become sustainable. The Fed, he said, had always expected progress to be uneven, and policymakers have confidence that inflation is on a steady path toward the 2% target.
