Dem Rep Maxwell Frost: Elon Musk became the richest person in the world because he steals from people.


The more they talk the better .

DOJ prosecutor, Rueveni who questioned the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on indefinite paid leave for a “failure to zealously advocate” for the department — less than 24 hours after defending the gov’t in federal court.

Which human rights did they not have? The living conditions were better for the average person compared to anyplace in human history.

And if that 45% did vote, you think it would have made a significant change? I don’t know that he was senile at that point, but he did a great job working with Volker to lower inflation and he helped get the economy going. Since he’s been president, we’ve had 4 recessions start, one was due to covid. From 1953-1980, we had 6.

I do on that electoral map of 1984

And that’s what you want for the people you don’t agree with.

A corporate government is what you claim fascism is, where the political leaders take their orders from corporations. Fascism is where the dictator gives the orders. If you disagree, tell me who was giving orders to Hitler and Mussolini.

No just pointing out facts that you’ve been fooled by grifters who sensationalize everything so they’ll get your money.

Dude, its called the Gilded Age for a reason. You wanting to go back to that time proves what a sociopath you are.

He was a senile fraud. I lived it.

Gay

and that's what you created in your head where you are always the victim.

I didn't say it. Mussolini did. Ask him.

I have been fooled? Maybe you should reread your post history. LOL

yep

Yes, all business taxes should be eliminated.

You have to have some concern that the goodwill that is being burnt might make the medium and long term outlook look less positive.

Can only bully your friends for so long before it loses the effect, or they wont be your friend any longer.

Yeah, I'm more worried about them not being a friend any longer. We could end up pushing them into the arms of people we're not friends with. That's one of the reasons I supported the nuclear deal with Iran the Obama Administration negotiated, if we're too hard on them, we will push them into the arms of Russia and by extension, China. The northern end of Iran is the Caspian Sea, and the northwestern section of the Caspian Sea has the delta of the Volga River and Russia. The same concept applies to trade deals and taxes.

RFK Jr.: “Addressing the opioid overdose crisis...is one of many critical steps we will take to Make America Healthy Again.”


Is that why he's dismantling the HHS agency that addresses the opioid crisis?

The Democrats are now lying to cover up all their lies over the past 4 years.

Here you go with more lies.These Democrats are going crazy with the lies!

That's true, I believe the USA has a trade surplus with Australia, as well as a free trade agreement where they tariff virtually nothing we make, and Trump makes the products imported from Australia 10% more expensive. I bet a lot of other countries will want to line up to make deals with us when Trump can rip them up on a whim.

Watch her lie. Why do people still watch CNN?

[DwightShrute]

You support/rationalize everything Trump does or says. Your post history is proof.

Your love of Trump prevents you from admitting what's been happening for years.

Hareeba is correct about the GST excuse being economics 101 level incorrect.

But anyway, it's done. Australia should actually get an advantage versus countries like China and India who got hammered for a lot more.

It sucks, but at least we know where we stand and can stop acting like we need to support USA at every turn in future. I think that will help us too.

Still pointless and doesn't disprove anything I said about living conditions and human rights. Harp on about your love for Robber Barons all you want. One thing being bad doesn't make the other good.

45% of voters didn't vote, Reagan was senile and putz.

Do you see red everywhere?

and?

Still a corporate government and in line with fascism. You defending it kind of proves that.

Smelling your own farts again I see. LOL

Since you put up the map of 1984,
As much as I disagreed with RR He would never give in to Russia. They are as evil now, as they were, when they were the USSR. We have a leader now that is not half the man RR was. I'm not a fan of RR, but at least you knew where he stood.

Trump hasn’t given into Russia, in fact there were reports last weekend that Trump is furious at Putin.

Tariffs will NEVER reduce our debt. I’m not sure why you keep mentioning this??? The only thing that will reduce our debt is to STOP spending but do you really believe this administration is going to stop? Really? I’ll bet you Trump will add at least 4-5 trillion to the debt in the next 4 years.

The only possible effect these tariffs can have is to create more inflation, which will force reduced interest rates, which would mean we don’t pay as high an interest on the debt we owe. These Tariffs will not reduce the debt. If the dollar collapsed, our debt would suddenly be Pennie’s on the dollar.

The US pays almost a trillion in interest each year for the national debt. Washington has a spending problem. We agree on that. Their only solution has been to throw more money at a problem while the middle class pays the price and the politicians make fortunes. Year after year the same shit. Most us know that nothing will change unless you try something different. Well, here ya go. Doge, border and tariffs. It can't be any worse that it has been, but there is a massive upside if it works. When it works.

Reducing interest rates will help reduce the debt. So will reducing their size of government and cutting waste. Accountable government will reduce debt. Not funding endless wars will reduce debt. Not funding transgender cooking classes in some other country and a thousand other projects will reduce debt. Defunding NPR would reduce the debt. I won't bother listing dozens more.

Who told you tariffs won't reduce debt? It's a different world today. Why do over 170 countries have tariffs btw?

Why does everything need to be made in China? Remember Covid? We all had to wait for China to make more masks after they Covid escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences is a research institute on virology under the Wuhan Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where they worked on Gain of function research and coronaviruses.

I agree with the many extremely successful people who disagree with you.

I bet that everything will be much better over the coming weeks and months.

The US is 37 trillion in debt and increasing by 1 trillion every 100 days, which will only increase as the debt does. It will be around 40 trillion by the end of the year. Doing nothing isn't an option. The dollar will collapse eventually.

It takes courage to stop the insanity. That is what is happening. For some strange reason, you can't see it.

You will criticize anything Trump does or says. Your post history is proof. He's been talking tariffs since the 80's and it's not as if he is doing this all by himself. He has many wise people around him who know more about economics that you do.

Your hatred of Trump prevents you from admitting what's been happening for years.
