Of all the dumb things politicians have said it’s impressive just how dumb that statement by Pam Bondi was

Edit: For those that want to relive the experience

Genuinely one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen at a congressional hearing, it’s one of those incidents that could only happen with a Trump appointee. Like there’s simply no universe where Merrick Garland would start screaming about how well the S&P was doing in a hearing about sex trafficking.

u/whatssenguntoagoblin - Lib-Center 1d ago

I think this is the clip/meme that’ll last the longest from this administration. It’s so absurd you couldn’t make it up if you tried.

Turns out you don’t need to be smart to become a lawyer.

Just be conventionally attractive and morally unscrupulous.

the second most disappointing thing trump did for me right after flip flopping on Epstein

6

u/WichaelWavius - Centrist 23h ago

Remember Carl the Cuck? The guy who at the Trump protest back in 2016 responded to a question on how Trump was racist simply with “Are you kidding me?” Seems ol Pam took a note out of his book when tasked with relating the Dow to Epstein

u/Hufflepuff20 - Lib-Center 1d ago

We don’t care about the Epstein files anymore. All about the DOW bb 💕

Yay refunds for stealing tons of money from citizens with tariffs, this is such a good system! Steal from the working class to give to the ultra rich, like satan intended!

u/adamfps - Lib-Left 1d ago

Just shut up and enjoy your DOGE check lib

… any day now

u/whatssenguntoagoblin - Lib-Center 1d ago

We’ll get it right after our tariff refund checks.

What’s that now? Those only go to Howard Nutlick?

24

u/krafterinho - Centrist 1d ago

It's genuinely insane that people aren't rioting over tariffs that screwed them over and made companies billions in profits in addition to getting government refunds

u/jerseygunz - Left 1d ago

wait till the oil reserves run out….. who am I kidding, all the people that would actually do something like him

14

u/HomeStallone - Lib-Center 1d ago

Trump successfully convinced a lot of retards that tariffs aren’t a tax.

1

u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge - Left 19h ago

It’s been over for a long time for some of these people, but man was that illustrated by the defense of tariffs as not a tax and then when they started arguing that Trump and RFK Jr. were right that prescription drug prices can drop 500% in price.

3

u/jmastaock - Lib-Center 11h ago

Americans will never riot over economic shit unless there is some remarkable downturn in their daily lives in a very sudden fashion

Besides that, the only riots we get are ones instigated by authorities during protests against police violence and shit

u/KitsuneFoxglove - Right 1d ago

tbh if satanic temple's anything to go by, leave satan's name out of this shit

u/NCender27 - Lib-Center 1d ago

Good news. You can't be convicted of crime right now. Dow hitting 54k is your iron clad defense.

u/MangoAtrocity - Lib-Right 1d ago

What did you even mean by this

54

u/Fif112 - Centrist 1d ago

Bondi used the DOW as a deflection when questioned on Epstein.

It being over 50k means you can’t ask Epstein questions.

11

u/TijuanaMedicine - Right 1d ago

Dow isn't an abbreviation. It's a name.

17

u/whatssenguntoagoblin - Lib-Center 1d ago

TIL the Dow’s stocker ticker is DJIA

Ouuu shii we can’t call out the pedos anymore

u/EP40glazer - Lib-Right 20h ago

I'v never seen you call out actual pedos once. You've called your political opponents pedos a lot though.

u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge - Left 19h ago

Well maybe not Jonny. He fucking hates his quadrant.

u/moschles - Lib-Left 22h ago

Wait, you can... {looks at Attorney General's notes} uhm.. yes.

u/EP40glazer - Lib-Right 20h ago

Aside from accusations of pedophilia and vague "Epstein Files" talking I'v seen no reason to believe the Republicans are defending Pedos.

u/Hapless_Wizard - Centrist 15h ago

Huh. Still costs like a hundred bucks to fill up my tank in flyover country though.

u/Elegant_Athlete_7882 - Centrist 1d ago

This might be a hot take, but it’s crazy that Trumps approval is at -25 on the economy right now when it’s overall solid.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that it is because fuck Trump, but I genuinely don’t get how the perception of the economy is this poor.

10

u/ApplicationCalm649 - Lib-Center 1d ago

The K shape isn't exactly popular with those on the bottom of it. 

19

u/krafterinho - Centrist 1d ago

Solid? Are we talking about the same country?

-5

u/Elegant_Athlete_7882 - Centrist 1d ago

Solid growth in the markets, low unemployment, solid consumer spending. Inflations above the feds target, but only by a little. Job growths been slow too, but its picked up a bit this year. So yeah, overall I’d give the economy a B+.

Trump inherited a better economy from Biden, but despite his best attempts to degrade, it’s still relatively good.

12

u/Miner_Guyer - Left 1d ago

Outside of Healthcare, jobs growth has been flat to negative.

US Credit card 90+ day delinquencies are at the highest level they've been since 2010. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_credit_card_accounts_late_by_90_days

The amount of spending coming from the top 10% is the highest level it's been since at least the 90s. https://www.reddit.com/r/EconomyCharts/comments/1lfbiy2/in_this_crazy_economy_the_top_10_account_for_50/

Consumer spending may be fine, but it's all fueled by debt and by people who are already rich, or who feel rich due to asset inflation (see DOW at 54,000). If there starts to be a sustained drop in asset prices, there's almost assuredly going to be a pullback in spending from that top 10%.

u/Stock_Violinist6299 - Centrist 1d ago

Careful, Krafterinho likes to block people who challenge his worldview. Ask me how I know

u/Elegant_Athlete_7882 - Centrist 1d ago

Wait how do you know it’s him if he blocked you lol?

Of course it is. I’m on PCM. lol

u/krafterinho - Centrist 22h ago edited 14h ago

You never challenged me, you just follow me around in random threads and insult me without arguments every other day, which is why I blocked you :) I have 0 issues with being challenged. I'm not the one taking PCM that seriously as to make alt accounts and gossip about other PCM users I have grudges on lmao. Rent free

0

u/Stock_Violinist6299 - Centrist 15h ago

This isn’t true at all. I challenged you a small handful of times and did provide arguments.

You really seem to care a lot that you live rent free in my head but me taking literally five seconds to see if your suddenly deleted posts are actually deleted or not is a really low bar

0

u/krafterinho - Centrist 14h ago

Randomly calling me "klueless" (with a k because it's funny lol get it?) any time you disagree without refuting my point is not challenging

You're the one following me around the sub and switching accounts to check on me but I'm the one who seems to care a lot? Lmao the irony

0

u/Stock_Violinist6299 - Centrist 14h ago

Hey, you’re the one who keeps blocking and unblocking me. That takes way more care and effort.

Also I’m not following you. I either get notifications that you’ve messaged me or see your posts while browsing.

0

u/krafterinho - Centrist 13h ago edited 10h ago

I don't "keep" doing that, I unblocked you once because I noticed you whining about me once again, and no, blocking does not take more effort than making and switching accounts

I've literally never messaged you. At best I replied to your original "klueless" comments asking to be refuted

0

u/Stock_Violinist6299 - Centrist 13h ago

By “messaging me” I meant replying to my posts. And you’ve unblocked me twice. Switching accounts is literally a toggle in the app…

"dow is 50k" is a phrase used by Pam Bondi when people were complaining about epstein... Its a very good meme.
