The leadership of the Republican party all comes from the oil patch & drives an energy policy that intentionally pushes up energy prices while blocking cheaper energy from market access. The Iowa GOP delegation should be opposing that... if they only had a spine. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Trump's tariffs are basically illegal, federal appeals court rules
They are waiting for the rapture and then also the tribulation. It is not definite what comes first, my guess is the tribulation and it is already here in the form of trump
They do what is best for them and donald and not you and yours
And that is not the only thing that is on the line.
Cutting off food aid, cutting of medical care for those at the lower end of income, cutting off the ability to fight pandemics. One of the big problems with social security is increased longevity, they are trying to reduce longevity for the most vulnerable. So Christian of the bible thumpers.
The ethos behind Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again movement blames individual people for their chronic diseases and links Medicaid users’ value to their economic productivity.
What is putin paying Fico and Orban or what does he have on them.
There is something drastically wrong with the rules of the EU where 2% of the population can attempt to dictate to the other 98%, It is time to amend the EU to allow expulsion for such treacherous activity.
The most important thing about humans are their souls. Artificial intelligence in the wrong hands will inevitably become soul less intelligence and soul less intelligence in the hands of a dictatorship is an imminent disaster. e.g to make social security more economical, ensure people die younger.
In the trump administration calculus CDC Prolongs life Prolonged life equals more social security payments Reduce life span and reduce social security payments. Simple math but not good math
“Fire RFK Jr. now.” After a month of shocking removals, resignations, and a shooting at the CDC, Democrats are demanding that the secretary go. Meanwhile, the White House is defending Kennedy as its "crown jewel" admin leader.
They say cruelty to humans begins with cruelty to animals. Look at cricket.
The first time I have had outright lying called bad math.
It is the trump administration's attempt to lower life expectancy and lower social security costs. After all the SSS burial expense is just a few days of ss payments
Is gutting the CDC the trump administration trying to solve the social security problem by lowering the life span of the elderly. The hidden silver lining in the Covid epidemic many elderly dying before their time and the savings to social security were significant. Are they looking a repeat
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
Can we all pray that there is a night of the long knives in Tom Homan's future
Why does the lame media keep bringing up trump's chronic venous insufficiency when the real problem is brain cell insufficiency.
Can anyone give me a practical reason why Hungary is still part of NATO and the EU.
The latest instance of K.A. Conway's alternate facts is Vance's explanation of the Epstein drama. It all happened under the Biden administration even Epstein was prosecuted and died under questionable circumstance 18 months before Biden was sworn in. But then he let in the pet eaters as well.
If you need any more evidence of the lies and obfuscations of the trump administration look to JD Vance on Epstein. "We have to remember that this entire thing happened during the Biden administration." Epstein died in 2019. Biden took office in 2021. but it is still Biden's fault.
Using food for bait should surely be a war crime and the trump administration is up to their neck in this.
Kelly Anne Conway's alternate facts, get used to it for the next few years.
Yes history is written by the victors, but there will be a different set of victors in the coming years and they have a lot of history corrections to make.
The cult of alternative facts "read lies" first espoused by Kelly Anne Conway in the first trump administration seems to have survived her, but it is still pre-dominant in the republican party and in the Israeli administration.
The two things that every American uses, food and energy are excluded from the core inflation data that the feds prefer. This is guaranteed to underestimate the cost of living for almost every American. The data has in inbuilt prejudice against the average American and towards big business
Thoughts and prayers are the polite way so saying "we are not going to do anything else about it, so suck it up, and shut up"
Well you got to get rid of them some way to build his big beautiful resort the Middle East Riveria,
And take the place of deported farm workers in his demented mind,
Might be true but the republicans deliver the means to do so.
Understatement. He throws grenades not stones.
Dont worry thoughts and prayers will make it stop
Every day there is a new reason to boot Hungary out of NATO and the EU. What will it take for the Europeans to admit that they have a traitor in their ranks. Why do they allow a country with 2% of the EU Population dictate to them. Let them join their favorite country Russia and be thankful for it.
Why are there not pictures of Epstein with the younger beautiful girls just one with the hag
I would have agreed with her on that.
yes it does
and continued the abuse.
Government statistics. The old saying take that with a grain of salt needs to be revised to take that with a tablespoon of salt during the trump era
Press coverage can leave the impression that the hunger is an organic disaster. But famine is easily preventable, and this one has been orchestrated with the increasing complicity of the United States.
Texas flood relief took a back seat to Trump's redistricting demands: “It’s a travesty." [via @grist.org + @climatedesk.org]
in their mind Noah survived the flood without government help,
Probably all the way abetted by the supreme court and their obvious belief in the devine right of kings and treating trump like a king.
Toward the end of The Godfather, Michael Corleone, who has risen to become the head of his crime family, orders the assassinations of the heads of rival mobs. In his second stint as president, Donald Trump has taken the same mob boss stance: settling scores with his perceived enemies.
“There are thousands of people who are starving because the Israelis decide to use hunger as a weapon.”
If not past the tipping point, we are dangerously close to it.
Can Mike Johnson and his bible thumpers tell us one instance where thoughts and prayers ever stopped a bullet. Guns and bullets are designed to kill. Thoughts and prayers are a mirage.
Now we all know for sure the impediments to peace in Gaza are the Jews and their American facilitators. Every time there was a chance of a settlement the jews would always find a way to enrage the Palestinians and make it look that it was the Palestinian's fault. This has always happened.
If trump is the master deal maker he should make a deal with Russia where he gives them Hungary and Slovakia in exchange for the Donbass and Crimea and let the CSTO take them as well and let Ukraine join NATO. Would be a deal made in heaven and worthy of the NOBL peace prize,
Lisa Cook is ALLEGED to have committed crimes by a man who was CONVICTED of 34 felonies. Due process matters. A country based on the rule of law that attracts foreign capital because of that promise should be steadfast in opposition to her termination.
“What they’re offering people is not health insurance or economic security,” Stanley says. “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
“Today marks 43 days since the flood—43 days without emergency aid from the state.” As communities struggled to recover from a devastating flood that killed 138 people, Trump publicly demanded that Texas lawmakers redraw congressional maps to carve out five additional US House seats for the GOP.
At the moment, the official voice of the US government is a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about human suffering. These memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.
I am not sure, how can you drain something in trump that wasnt there
The disastrous triad. trump, netanyahu, putin
On his podcast Tuesday, Charlie Kirk said he hoped that marriage might make Swift more conservative. “Taylor Swift might go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter, and we should celebrate that…she should have more children than she has houses.”
When you consider that businesses are run by dictators—that a firm is not a democracy—it makes sense why a series of rich guys at the top of the capitalist world think government can be run without following any laws.
It is ironic that saint donald would think it was a sin to lie on financial papers. Of course donald is allowed to but no one else.
Is Bessent in trouble he just halved trump's estimate of Tariff revenue. donald wont be pleased.
We survived Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. Will we survive, Trump, Netanyahu and Putin. It is not a sure thing unless the supreme court change their course and the politicians grow some balls.
trump lambasted Ukraine that they had no cards to play, they have the most important card that trump would never understand, the bravery and resilience of their people. In trumps words what's is in for them and the answer is survival as a nation. The British empire had to give up in Ireland.
Every news cycle should begin with two statements of fact. The Genocide in Gaza continues and the free world lacks the resolve to end it. Russian war crimes continue in Ukraine and the free world lacks the resolve to prevent it.
How fragile the us economy must be when a 1/4 point interest rate cuts sends it soaring. Grandma's saving account interest being raided once again.
Ghislaine Maxwell says she did no witness trump of anything inappropriate. What is inappropriate in the mind of a woman who is serving time for sex crimes involving minors. She has been awarded by her transfer to a better facility. The judge in her case said she could not be believed.
How much can you trust honesty in the next set of statistics about employment and inflation. I would say there is negligible as they will probably be slanted to ger an interest rate cut. Believe your own eyes at the grocery store and the employment status of people you know.
4.2 percent unemployment is really .2% as about 4% are unemployable or don't want to work.
I see reports that trump is weighing his chances of getting into heaven. If he does it doesn't mean that the bar has been lowered it would mean that the bar has been eliminated,
The best example of a non meritocracy is the trump administration including the democrat rejects of Kennedy and Gabbard
I hope he remembers that in 2029
Attempt to rig the election. If we get pissed off enough it will not work;
Russia is now at its weakest financially and militarily than it has been for a long time. If NATO wants to do something concrete and not just lip service to curtailing the Russian expansionist nature then this is the best time to push forward made possible by Ukrainian sacrifices in blood and wealth
He is holding it hostage to trade for the Nobel Peace Prize,
His plan to end it on day one was to cut off arms supplies to Ukrainel
He was at one time capable of telling the truth then,
The return of the puritans.
The expected outcome,
He must have been to a republican seance with donald as the medium at the white house.
It is gratifying to read a recent report that says the top two financially stressed states are Florida and Texas,
NATO is the modernday Goebbels if one remembers the old British song "Hitler has only got one ball" NATO was formed to stop the expansionism of Russia but they do not have the balls to stop it on the front line which is Ukraine.
Peace talks in Budapest should be a non starter for Ukraine, they have already been lied to in Budapest by Russia, USA and Great Britain
Looks like she needs a re-do of her plastic surgery,
The real cost of the golden shower
The dilemma of the importer: Eat the cost of the tariffs and by doing so admit that you have been overcharging or pass them on the consumer,
Was loomer jilted by a palestinian in the past,
The war will only stop when putin stops breathing,
I notice tapper is silent on this
The president credits democracy superfan, Vladimir Putin, with the idea. Yes, really.
Of course if it wasn't Obama's fault it was Bidens.
Yes learn your ABC Anyone But Collins. Who votes on you behalf when she knows her vote wont really matter.
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7;3-5. As usual the bible thumper governors chose to ignore bible verses that point out their own Hypocrisy. Lee, DeWine, Reeves, Landry, take note
If russia is making any gains in Ukraine therewill be no peace. If they start to loose territory then they will make peace. They will only start to loose territory when the Ukrainians have an abundance to weaponry to throw at them. Simple solution arm Ukraine to the maximum possible.
yes
Somewhat compromised? Isn’t that the understatement of the year? www.cnn.com/2024/07/15/p...
At least he told the truth for once in his life.
Maybe he will change his mind again after meeting with the Europeans,
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
"This is, at the moment, the official voice of the US government: a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about the human suffering they’re creating."
Why would you have believed him. It was showmanship and no substance.
In the last 30 years russia has become more aggressive and the USA more timid. Why would Ukraine believe anything they come up with now. The best they could hope for would be to kick the russian problem down the road for a few years. Europe needs to step up to the plate especially Germany and France
The largest country in the world wants more land no matter what the human cost.
