Can we PLEASE stop calling them election deniers? They are Election Liars and should be referred to that way. Anything else implicitly confers legitimacy to their claims.
I think I had too much coffee this morning, lol. This sounds more harsh than intended. Great pod today with Tim!
While this Dem certainly likes the current vibes, there are some cross winds possibly approaching. Energy prices in Europe are starting to rise due to Russia and this may start happening here in Oct.
Plus Powell singled another big interest rate hike before the election. Could change or muffle some the good August vibes...
