5 minutes, eh ? Hey 0 brain, 2 searches of the top 10 economic states, many of the same states with varying degrees of rank :

Florida - RED
Texas - RED
Georgia - RED
Utah - RED
North Carolina - RED
Arizona - RED
Nevada - RED
Idaho - RED
Oklahoma - RED
Wyoming - RED
Indiana - RED
South Dakota - RED
Tennessee - RED

Delaware - blue

New York // California ? - blue
Neither was listed per capita, only when sheer size is included. Everyone knows businesses are leaving NY and Cali and so are ppl from Cali like I did

Is there a next up genius ? But a lot of this is deflection from the topic. I've said nothing good about Trump even when he first came down the escalator a decade ago. While some use it derogatorily, I embrace my rino status. We'll be back in 4 years, but you weirdos ain't getting nothing of it back for the next 20 years by propping up one Squad member after another which the people ain't gonna buy no matter how much CNN and Whoopi really really really want you to believe it. Maybe you'll fix it before then and I'll celebrate with you. In the meantime you didn't get it right going against the worst possible human being to ever challenge USA democracy. Congrats

Trickle down economies have never worked even a little bit and never will because of human nature and I think that Trump knows that.
Unless the people getting the huge tax cuts are various clergy and nuns and philanthropists forget about it.

I think that is one of the reasons Trump
wants to do crippling tariffs. It has not been used like Trump wants to in order to create the revenue necessary to make up for the revenue from taxes stolen from the lower economic strata and blowing up the deficit.

Any of the tax credits and other programs he says he would like to do for the needy are dependent on there being enough revenue from the tariffs or no go.
He is putting all of the eggs in one basket.

If he cannot do it he will fall back to his favorite default - blame it on Obama and Biden.

Look for maybe millions losing the quality ACA as money is diverted away. Even if ACA remains it will be less then it was and it will negatively impact people and families. Of course.

What will be the number of military officers and generals and majors who will resign?

Now the trump people are looking into court martials of officers involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Yes not a typo - court martials.
I will set the over/ under at 100 for now.

BTW - losing top officers will help our enemies and adversaries.

Scary some?
Autocracy some?

It is stupid to say that the United States lost the war in Vietnam. Does anyone ever say that China won the war in Vietnam.

The United States was helping South Vietnam win their war against North Vietnam. They did not win.

The United State could have leveled the cities in the North but the cities of the south would have also been destroyed.
As it was, 2 million civilians on both sides died.
Military losses -
North - 1.1 million
South - 200,00
American - 58,000

Approximately 17% of the North was killed. That is staggering and much higher then the South.
20% of the country was killed.
The South fought a defensive war. They were the people with the high human values. The North had the brutal ugly army on the march to destroy.

Had the South been the aggressors it might have been the opposite. The South’s army after decades of attempting self preservation collapsed.

The United States did not want to cause the country to end up like what had happened to Gaza because the North was destroyed.

China would have helped do the same to the South.
The aggressor in such wars are heartless ideologues usually and in such wars they automatically have the advantage and the will to continue.
They have less concern for human life.

Same for Afghanistan.

Now we are engaged in a domestic Vietnam but the country will lose. There will be no Victor. The Trump people will lose as well but they don’t understand that now.
The ones who are the loudest are often trying to suppress thinking by drowning it out.

Trump’s economy is based on anger and revenge and war like principles. It depends on enough revenue from tariffs to prevent high inflation crippling deficits and cancellation of tax credits and vital programs for the people who are not wealthy. The tariff economy will fail.
Everybody knows that.

Non wealthy people hang on to your health insurance and your medicines and your sanity. You are the new South Vietnamese whether some of you know it or not.

We are in a domestic Vietnam.

Anyone who wants to know what is happening here and around the world without an echo chamber should read The Drudge Report.

It was the original and it is the best source of news in one place.

He pulls important stories from sources like Forbes and Wall Street Journal and New York Times and New York Post and Politico and Axios and National Review and Washington Examiner and The Guardian and Newsweek for examples plus local city newspapers from around the world.

And it is way more then politics. Plenty of cutting edge science and AI and economy and medicine and human interest and culture and entertainment news.

You will thank me later.

On this really sickening story about Trump wanting to court martial officers.

It comes to mind that it is part of a purge but with added malice.

Probably wants to get Milley - to court martial him. Definitely that. He and Austin and others.

If this does not bother someone they should have a doctor check on their humanity.
Duh.
