applegrove's JournalAnd according to some of the MAGAs heading to Trump's rally
this past week, "we've all made mistakes, nobody is without sin". So they know he did the Stormy Daniels affair. If they figure out he is lying to them when he and his lawyers call it all lies I do not know. But there is space there for a little reality to seap into the Trump cult bubble.
They make noise so salient news and info will not make it into American
brains. You know news about things that actually affect people's lives.
They are in a cult and so have a personal relationship to Trump. Nobody
love bombs them like Trump in speeches. It is personal.
White-washing.
You have to wonder why Putin is putting them in Belarus. I mean he can shoot tactical nukes
to specific targets in Ukraine from Russia I would assume. Does he just not want ant retaliation on actual nuclear armaments in Russia? Like if the UN or Nato takes out nuclear armaments they are going to go to Belarus and so Putin gets to have a 'proxy Armageddon' in Ukraine and Belarus.
Vague enough people will either think he is slamming Trump or
fall for the Soros as a scapegoat. If you are already afraid of Soros you'll take that out of it. If Soros does not ring a 5 alarm fire in your head then Trump had an affair is what you remember and DeSantis is above it. If you love Trump the affair was only alleged. Trump is surrounded the allegations by soros and slurs on the prosecutor. He couched in it, on both sides. Dyslexics see things off to the side and they make up 20% of the population. Other people see what is dead center. Maybe dyslexic Trump has dyslexic followers and DeSantis is using what and how people notice things to his (DeSantis') advantage to appeal to all sides with this statement.
And a certain percentage of that interest rate hike is caused by gouging.
If ceos were not gouging that might have lowered interest rates because of reduced inflation. Even 1% would make a difference. Instead the CEOs were outraged workers were asking for better wages and piled on inflation and made record profits. IMHO Worker wages were only 30% of inflation or so. Supply chain was part of it too. So too corporate price gouging (including energy). Other thing too but I can't remember it. Jon Stewart mentioned them in his interview of Summers.
It is unclear if central banks can contain banking crisis, analysts warn

Key points:
* The worldwide banking system faces a crisis of confidence, according to analysts
* First Republic Bank is reportedly looking to raise cash by selling part of its equity
* Several banks are looking to "gross settle" with Credit Suisse
And the crisis has two fronts: in the United States and in Europe.

Applegrove:
How much of the 25% of inflation that was corporate price gouging is responsible for the stress put on banks? I mean if inflation was 2% less would this crisis have even happened?
Does he have to give his net worth to the judge so the judge can
gage how much bail should be?
