Blue wave a'coming, even sooner than we thought

There are plenty of places to bet on US elections. But I have no interest in making any kind of bet that would take over a year to resolve.

Aside from that, I would have to be betting against a MAGA (since only an idiot MAGA would bet on the Republicans to win in 2026), and I don't make bets with people who have no honor. If I won, I wouldn't get paid.

Pooh-pooh that? What do you think would have happened if you, I, or anyone else had bet Millerscum or any other MAGA on the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election? Would they have paid up?

Well, would they?

Also, Robert, my prediction is for a far larger blue wave than would normally be attendant to midterm losses by the ruling party. I expect an absolute slaughter.

If there was an offshore betting site that would offer odds on House and/or Senate control, they'd be posting relatively poor numbers, like Dems -150, because such a result is the norm.

You might be underestimating the number of people Trump has pissed off who might otherwise have been in his camp. For instance, how many fired government workers will vote for him?

In other words, a lot of blather, but no cajones. I'm offering an even money bet, mano-a-mano with the LVA office holding the cash, that Dems do not control both House and Senate after the mid-terms, which would be the definition of a "Blue Wave."

Think about it. I'll give you 24 hours.

I hate when declarations about blue waves turn into lukewarm, soft-peddling maybes. Simple wager. I bet that you are wrong. Willing to put up cash with the LVA as the broker. 

That is exactly what it is.  I've tried many many bets with Kevin over the years and this is his standard go-to response.  But it won't stop him from making these predictions and declarations going forward either.  

Oh, please. I don't make bets with people I don't trust. Also, I'm not rude enough to ask LVA to broker the bet. Why should or would they?

You MAGAs are so cute. You're SO insecure about your manhood. "Cojones." "Mano-a-mano." Good grief. Not gonna consider it at all until you post a photo of you in your gladiator outfit.

And my conviction isn't "lukewarm" about the upcoming blue wave. It's a certainty.

It's also a certainty that my cat will poop sometime in the next 24 hours, but I don't bet on something just because I'm certain it's going to happen.

Jerry, you've dredged up that stupid argument dozens of times, and I've told you each and every time, I would NEVER make a bet with a MAGA, or anyone without honor or honesty. And no, I don't give a fuck if such a bet would be hypothetically held by a third party.

(And I don't have the gall to ask LVA or any other third party to just sit on our bets for some indeterminate period of time.)

You and Ditzy Dietz can call that cowardice or lack of manhood or whatever if you want. I've learned not to make deals with dishonest people. For what it's worth, I don't make business deals with MAGAs, either.

I posted this timeline in a previous thread and never saw a response from you. Thoughts on this simple timeline blowing your hypothesis?

By the way, inflation fell steadily from August 2022 until December 2024.

I asked you exactly what Biden did to increase inflation, your answer and my comments after.

Oh little things like adding 8.3 trillion to the national debt.  This + the Fed's easy money policy was the root casue of our 40 year record inflation and decline in real wages.. That's kind of the definition of reckless spending.

Exactly Legislation like:

American Rescue Plan 1.9 trillion.

Infrastrucure and Jobs Act 1.2 trillion.

So called Inflation Reduction Act.1.2 trillion.

(My response)

American Rescue Plan helped increase the inflation rate higher than it would have been without the bill, the Cares  Act was also a factor.

The inflation rate was 6.8% in November of 2021 when the Infrastructure Act was passed, it was at 2.9% in December 2024. I don't think building infrastructure is reckless, Trump sure talked a lot about it during his first term with the usual MAGA results, none.

By November of 2023, 80% of the funds were still left to be awarded. 

Brooking Institue:

"Formula and direct federal spending continue to move at a steady pace, already pumping $306 billion into state coffers and direct investment projects. And like an athlete who grows into a game, competitive grantmaking is steadily increasing, with 80% of all competitive funding still left to be awarded. Just as importantly, the Biden administration has shown no flagrant political bias in splitting awards among states—certainly welcome news to the bipartisan legislators who authored the bill."

The inflation rate was 8.3% in August of 2022 when the Inflation Reduction Act was passed, it was at 2.9% in December of 2024.

As the "reckless spending" began to work it's way into the economy the inflation rate fell, your hypothesis doesn't hold up very well to a simple timeline."

     What you and others neglect to fathom is that when inflation prices rose across the board beginning in 2021, the prices that they rose to because of the increased inflation rate became the new "norm". Basing the current lower inflation rate on that new "norm" does not factor in the actual increase of prices that  Americans are now enduring because of the governing of the brain dead Biden administration from 2021 until now.

"Inflation prices"? LOL! Davey Dog is at his dumbest when he tries to rationalize his masters' crap.

Liberal politicians argue that we shouldn't eliminate government waste.  They argue that men and boys competing with women and girls is fair.  Kevin, on this site, has told us for years that illegals get no government money.  Most voters now understand these lies and it's only going to get worse for Lyin Liberals.
