Billions saved by Doge already. I guarantee the Democrats in this thread would be supporting it if Trump and Musk were Democrat. If you dont like it, you hate America. It's very simple
Comment -
it’s not that simple that’s the problem. Did you see how uncomfortable Trump was with the rugrat running around Oval Office..Comment -
no need to make excuses of anything along those lines. He didn't look uncomfortable to me is all. You see it differently an d hey, you could be right. I can't say for sure.
The common folk probably won't but it can only help the country long term and the USD as well. That's what I think anyways. Time will tell I suppose. A strong America helps me financially and is better for teh world as a whole.
What I think you will agree with me is, that doing the same thing over and over again, such as racking up 37 trillion in debt, is a recipe for disaster. Money doesn't grow on trees. Maybe I am wrong and you see it differently.Comment -
I'm loving all this transparency

Trump's team allegedly has offered Putin
(1) Ukrainian territory,
(2) no NATO membership for Ukraine,
(3) no US soldiers in Ukraine,
(4) the withdrawal of US soldiers from Europe, including from frontline states, and
(5) sanctions relief.
Putin's return offer -- nothing.
What an astonishing sell out.
Such strong negotiation and leadership!

I'm younger than you by over a decade.
China is a communist country, and many people in the USA want us to be communist.
Putin doesn't believe in either individual freedom or private property rights, he is no capitalist.
The only system that tries to get 44 year olds and 35 year olds to have the same income and net worth is communism. That's what the left is pushing for.Comment -
I thought it up myself based on the things I see, read and can work out with logic.
I'm not on any politicized quest.
I want what's best for me and you, and genuinely think the path we are being led on can't be sustained for very much longer without bad effects for a lot of us around the world. I'm less certain how things might turn out domestically there. Maybe it will end up in greater wealth and quality of life for Americans. The cards are up in the air right now.
It also gives us quality health care and access to it whenever needed for anyone. And results in a life expectancy of about 8 years extra for babies born today. And btw, it also costs each tax payer less than it costs you with no "free" health care. I'm not about to tell you haters how to do anything you've been brainwashed to call socialist=bad, but from here it's head scratcher weird how many of you get as angry as you seem to be when arguing that you don't want a system like ours
You basically subsidize my cheap medicines by paying the manufacturer so much more than Australia does as the sole buyer here. And I still really want you to see the light and get what's best for you.
And do you really think Australia has been getting a free ride? Seriously. At least Google before you answer. I'll give you 10 major ways USA benefits more than Aus does if you can come up with 2 ways you see Australia as having hitched a free ride on USA?.Comment -
Yet you act older than me.
China is run by a communist party but not communist. They call it
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Socialism with Chinese characteristics[/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)] is a set of political theories and policies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that aims to redefine the relations between planning and socialism, and market economy and capitalism. Coined by Deng Xiaoping in 1982, it represents the integration of the fundamental tenets of scientific socialism with the actual conditions of present-day China and the features of the times.
Putin has oligarchs in his government same as we have Musk.
There has never been or will there ever be a system that everyone has the same net worth. That's not communism.
What power does the left have? Unless your counting people like Nancy Pelosi as left. LOL

You literally can’t own private property as an individual in China.Like I said, “Putin doesn't believe in either individual freedom or private property rights, he is no capitalist.”Because China is a socialist country, all land is either subject to government ownership or collective ownership.
It’s the goal of communism, everything is collectively owned and everyone has the same thing.
It doesn’t matter what power the left has, they’ve already told us that when they get power, they’re going to do a full power grab and never allow themselves to lose power again, like the communists before them. Nancy Pelosi claimed to be a capitalist, I guess she can't lie.Comment -
Why the F do you keep crapping on about income and net worth comparisons between age groups?
Never have I ever come across anybody pushing for equality.
How many people want America to be communist? - I'd say 2% maximum.
Which rabbit hole are you getting your weird ideas from?Comment -
I'm against cutting out cancer and other medical research. Tell me how that makes me hate US, dumbass. Very simple.
I dint care what fukking party they are. Cutting waste is great, across the board cutting is lazy and gets things that are not waste. Like the people watching over our nuclear weapons. Great moveLast edited by jackpot269; 02-19-25, 02:52 AM.Comment -
Marco Rubio: “For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.”(2016)
Well at least he got one thing right!Comment -
that's because you clearly have not been burdened by an overabundance of education.
Equality is here already. No need to push something that already exists. Equality means treating everyone the same. We all live under the same rules. We are equal.
Equity are things like DEI and affirmative action. Both are the definition of racism. They discriminate against a group of people in order to predetermine a desired outcome. This is where participation trophies started. Yeah !!!!! Everyone's a winner!! Congratulations.
Life doesn't work that way.
If you were a sports bettor, you would understand the difference. Equity will ensure every game ends up in a tie. There would be no wins or loss columns. Every team would win the super bowl every fukking year. Every athlete would win a gold medal at the Olympics. In fact, there wouldn't be the need for silver and bronze medals. The podium would be the same height and dozens of athletes would be standing after the competition was over listening to every single national anthem. There would be no need to time anyone in the 100-meters as everyone would be the faster person in the world. Usain Bolt can go fukk himself.Comment -
Questions for you, Hareeba: Does it bother you that the average white American has a higher income and net worth than the average black American? Do you think it doesn't bother the typical democrat/left American?
For a lot of people, it does. The only thing is, the vast majority of those people don't know the age differences, and therefore won't realize what they're getting into. If they want parity between the groups, there's only one system that will prioritize that.Comment -
And here you go again with this nonsense about communism and you failed to tell us which rabbit hole you're getting these weird topics from.
Of course it is a matter of some concern that the average white American has always had (and likely always will have) a higher income and higher net wealth, even if you omitted Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Buffett and Zuckerberg. Why are you so obsessed with this?
And it would still be the same if you looked at those numbers across age groups rather than just an overall, i.e. what are the numbers for all 35 year olds and for all 45 year olds etc. by colour? Or for any other minority group. Not any real difference I suggest.

Trump has not even been in office for a month and Americans are already legitimately wondering if:
• it is safe to fly
• they will be able to buy eggs
• we are going to invade a NATO ally
• common prescriptions will be banned
• their Social Security payment will arrive.

The left is obsessed with race and racial differences in income and wealth. If you disagree, turn on MSNBC today. A lot of people have made a lot of money demagoguing race. It is always presented as any disparity is due to discrimination or "The legacy of slavery". When people are wanting a 28th amendment that will say "Racial inequity is evidence of racist policy", but not to factor in differences that will cause those disparities, that's a real problem, because we can't eliminate income and wealth gaps if we don't factor in other gaps, unless we go to communism.
Please show your evidence that there's a racial wealth & income gap even when you factor in age that can only be due to discrimination.
Let me spell this out for you. Class warfare really didn't have the impact that communists in America had hoped, so they had to develop new tactics, like inject race into class warfare. So here's how they do this: Condition large swaths of the American public to obsess over race and past laws designed to hold people back, and blame all disparity on those things. We try to enact policies and laws designed to close those income and wealth gaps. The only problem is that there are a lot of other things, like age, which will prevent those gaps from being closed, which will never be mentioned. We'll keep trying, until finally we have to accept communism as the solution to equality.Capitalism is essentially racist; racism is essentially capitalist. They were birthed together from the same unnatural causes, and they shall one day die together from unnatural causes.Comment -

Lol , now back to the real world .
In San Diego, a "NGO says its shelter has had not a single migrant walk through its doors since President Trump took office. They're now closing that shelter down.
