He quickly modified this prediction, https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/the-long-haul/ but he carefully hedged by saying: "But it’s important not to expect this to happen right away. There’s a temptation to predict immediate economic or foreign-policy collapse; I gave in to that temptation Tuesday night, but quickly realized that I was making the same mistake as the opponents of Brexit (which I got right). So I am retracting that call, right now. It’s at least possible that bigger budget deficits will, if anything, strengthen the economy briefly. More detail in Monday’s column, I suspect." The problem is the definition of "briefly". Months? Years? Economies tend to be cyclic, which means that until the next recession occurs, Krugman will say he's right, and when that recession occurs, he will still say he's right. Jim Bell

CP Fight Club - Stephen Cohen fatally boots CFR's Max Boot - [MINISTRY]
by Zenaan Harkness 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Intellectual fight club picks up pace - in this round, Council on Foreign Relations' sophisticated <ahem> Max Boot, takes a sturdy, vaseline-free boot from the ever dignified Stephen Cohen : Boot delivered some CNN-level class in short order, chucking a year 7 ad-hominem at Cohen : "you're just a Russian apologist!" Oh no, Bat-man! The meek and naieve Cohen must be just about CRUSHED by such sophistry‼ Or may be Cohen delivers a Peterson-level full frontal battering :) Cohen : "Why do you have to defame somebody you don’t agree with?" "you are the threat to American national security", and "they used to [use defamation ad-homs] in the old Soviet Union". In reply Boot shakes his head back and forth, back and forth, back and forth... Did I mention Boot shakes his head back and forth? So what, exactly, does a CNN-tier Marxist lefty do in the face of such an intellectual response to his failed grade school ad-hom, besides shaking his head back and forth? Why he DOUBLES THE FIRETRUCK DOWN kiddo, he doubles the firetruck down (this IS the ever entertaining CNN after all) : Boot: “You're apologizing for Russia!” Yeah Boot, that repetition will boost CNN's share price. Or something :D Cohen calmly reaches into the cookie jar and hands y'all a treat : “You know what I think? I think that Mr Boot would've [only] been happy if Trump had waterboarded Putin at the summit and MADE him confess.” Intellectual masochists the world over are wishing they were Max Boot right about now. Fight Club FTW mofo :) Cohen has to be one of those Jews even Anglin would admire :) As good as it gets, folks. For everything else, there's Mir card :D Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb4ryRqJPe8 "You Are Criminalizing Diplomacy!"

[MINISTRY] Semites triggered by Honky-in-chief
by Zenaan Harkness 01 Aug '18

Firstly, a) Trump names globalist pushing Koch brothers as globalists, and secondly, in a twist of tribal self indictment so ironic the irony meter literally burst, b) the prestigious and uniquely globalist Jerusalem Post gets their yarmulkas in a yddish panty twist, citing the MINISTRY's own ADL's definition of ‘globalist’ as some anti-semitic slur. Dang dude! Soap, +1 for defending your own I guess :D #ItsOkToBeWhite Never Forget: The ADL Classifies “Globalist” as an Anti-Semitic Slur https://dailystormer.name/never-forget-the-adl-classifies-globalist-as-an-a… -- Anti Dumbass League Department of Triggering
