The nerve of you democrats demanding a trillion dollars for illegal immigrants
Just who do you people think you are that’s not what the people want deport the immigrants
And that nigga from New York he’s pretty young he must not remember what happened to Martin Luther King Martin Luther King Jr Malcom X Rodney King and George Floyd all had big mouths and payed the price for it
Frankly, the longer the government is shut down the better things will get.
The reason the dems don't like it is because it proves they are useless! the world will keep right on turning if all the democrats went to the moon!
If they shut down we still operate on a smaller government and if they cave trump wins
gas down to 1.85
stay closed a month, hell, lets enjoy some affordable fuel this fall, have a great travel season to help the mountain communitys with tourism after the bad storm last year! THe people can afford to help their neighbors when fuel is affordable.
When the economy goes down the drain, the oil and gas prices go down too.
That's because when production decreases, demand for energy decreases.
Lower demand means lower prices.
Remember the Covid crisis, when the price of oil was below $0,-?
There is way less tourism in the US. I told you before, but you said you didn't care. Foreigners don't want to come to a country where fascism is on the rise. Old people are less able to travel, because their social security isn't keeping up with their costs.
"President Donald Trump's approval rating has hit a record low for his second term, according to a polling tracker.
The Vote Hub polling tracker showed that on September 30, Trump's net approval rating hit -10 points, with 43 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving.
It has since bounced back slightly as the government shutdown has kicked in, with 44 percent approving and 53 percent disapproving as of October 2, giving him a net approval of -9 points."
Sure, emergency's+ like heart attacks and so forth, help the person, but damn this shit of them walking off and NEVER being expected to pay back a dime. Document the time and service, and if they start showing income, get some of the money back each month from their income. it would be done to you and i if we didn't pay our bill, they can lock on your bank accounts and everything else, take your house, but yet if you have NOTHING, you get care for nothing. fix that. and before you start this shit about me being wrong , I know for a damn fact a friend of mine went in the hospital with a brain tumor that was caused him to be unable to live alone, the police came took him in , the hospital took his car-truck,tools, , his home, his social security and everything for the bill , reason i know is i had to bid on and pay for stuff he had in his will for me to inherit.
BTW, in Florida, and I suspect in some other states, your home is untouchable. They can put a lien but they can't take your home.

She is very right. She justifies her sentences fully.
What is this about?
The quote “she has no memory that she was at the party, should we trust that she remembers the assault?”—was made by trump during a campaign rally in Southaven, Mississippi, on October 2, 2018. He was mocking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who had testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that she was sexually assaulted by then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at a high school party in the early 1980s.
In his speech, trump imitated Ford's testimony, saying,
“How did you get home? 'I don't remember.' How did you get there? 'I don't remember.'”
He used Ford's inability to recall certain details of the alleged assault to question her credibility, despite her clear recollection of the core event.
Experts in trauma and memory later criticized Trump's comments, explaining that trauma victims often remember the central details of distressing events but may forget peripheral ones due to how the brain processes traumatic experiences.
trump's remarks were widely condemned by Democrats and some Republicans, who viewed them as inappropriate and harmful to survivors of sexual assault. However, his comments were applauded by many of his supporters, reflecting the deep polarization surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation process.
There is no excuse for trump's misogyny, cruelty, and refusal of sexual assault. Lady Gaga explains that very nicely.
The conclusion is that the maga are willing to ignore sexual assault and human rights. They say "it does not matter."
Chances are had he not been picked for the job, no one would have heard about the "assault", causing alot of people ,including myself, to wonder if there was 1.
You just can not fathom the world is not perfect and not everyone is "good" by nature. The liberal media,democrats used this womans testimony to try to topple a fellow from rising to a position in the courts because they didn't like him. Had he been a liberal you would have never heard about this at all.
Back in that time frame, drugs, sex, drinking were common, and still are.
But for some reason you can't comprehend the woman got drunk, let a guy feel her up and such, and it was normal behavior. people get drunk and get loose. but no,the media and such made it look like she was a saint that was on break from babysitting when a evil man came along and touched her.

They have found clear evidence of election machine tampering, resulting in
a 7% favorability towards Trump versus hand counting.
Their statistical analysis shows that this is enough to flip the election to Trump.
They are moving forward with 2 litigation cases with evidence of vote manipulation
from actual on the ground investigation.
I think he's right.
I had to read about this from yet another link found with google as there is no reputable site talking about it and the link Ananas posted wanted to put a bunch of cookies on my computer

Heres what I can say to it. i voted early, about a week and a half early. and i have pretty good eyesite, and the place was PACKED and I was able to see about 7 different peoples votes as they just held their cards in their drooped hands as I did. and all 7 were for Trump,because i could see the marks. and several of those 7 were women. I don't see any room for fraud because there was volunteers from both partys on hand to supervise the voting and watch as you put your vote in the machine and you yourself could see it clic 1 mor vote as the card was read.
Your side was believing Mike Lindell, who didn't show any evidence for weeks,
and when he finally did show something, it wasn't actually showing anything.
It was a complete "trust me bro", from start to finish.
Election Truth Alliance STARTS with the evidence.
If the fraud is built in to the voting computers, like your own side accused Dominion of doing, then you would not see any fraud. The only way to detect it, is seeing a difference between exit polls and vote counts or a difference between hand counts and electronic vote counts. You would also see a discrepancy between voter turnout and vote share. That's the exact claim they are making. Your side just investigated the wrong machines.
The machines are verified, but they can be programmed to understand the difference between verification actions and real voting actions, and only apply their meddling during the real use. Read about 'dieselgate' to understand how that works.
Trump got 60 court cases, to prove his claims about voter fraud. He didn't provide
any concrete evidence and lost. Let these guys show their evidence and we will see
if it sticks.
I'm not ready to get my hopes up. I'm even doubting if it would make any difference,
if they prove voter fraud in court, beyond a reasonable doubt. It would just go up to
the Supreme Court and they are by majority pawns of Trump.

Make up your own mind.
When 'the radical left' makes a claim, they are providing evidence, telling people
where to get the raw data, and how to do the statistical analysis yourself.
They even provided a course for the people who don't know anything about
how elections work. only registered users can see external links
Still, phart, in his lifelong endeavour to deify his Dear Leader, will doggedly deny, deny, deny.
the electoral collage, them doing more gerrymandering, purging voter rolls,
shutting down polling places and having Elon literally buy registrations and
give prizes to only MAGA voters. At what point are you still supporting the idea
that democracy is about the vote of the majority?
Can evidence make you believe otherwise?
where was all this anger in the 2020 election?
And I wouldn't piss on Pillow man if he was on fire. He kept hollaring he had evidence and never showed it. don't trust him.
Please read about Peter Thiel's vision for the future. It is fucking scary.
Some of these tech bros are completely mad. And this guy is co-founder

And you want his protegee to run your country?
He is everything you people have fear-mongered about FOR DECADES.
everyone involved should go to jail.
If you think that people will elect JD Vance then, you are crazy.
He SAID he had evidence, but he never showed it, because it was a LIE.
Trump's claims were based on that lie and you believe(d) that.
Some folks like Ananas want a 1 world government. and when the US doesn't vote like they want it to, it upsets their apple cart.
If europe was such a great place, why did the Pilgrams come here? Why did my german ancestors struggle to get over here in the late 1700's? There had to be some really serious issues over there or the US would still belong to the Natives and i wouldn't be born because my german ancestors would have never met my Cherakee ancestors .
I DON'T. Stop STRAW-MANNING me!
It is quite simple really.
If governments operated as you wish them to, all governments would be the same eventually and consolidation would be the next natural flow of things as people like yourself would look at how inefficient it is to have so many people doing the same job using the same laws and same operating procedures . putting resources towards 1 central government for a smaller more efficient machine, thus 1 government ruling the world. if you look at your theorys on how things should work, that would be the final stage. think .
Humanity needs it, or it destroys itself.
I don't like a "central government" at all.
Socialists want PEOPLE in power, not the government and definitely not
a CENTRAL government.
My Socialist Party is the most grass roots party IN THE WORLD.
The members have power from the bottom up. There are people in the top of the organization, but they all exist in their position at the behest of the members. There isn't someone like Chuck Schumer, who has a 17% approval rating,
in my party. He would have been voted out long ago.
That's a decentralized structure for just our party, but we support that structure for every organization outside our party too.
After we have discussed so much, just still don't understand even the smallest bit about my/our principles and goals. That's really sad.
This is our international page. Where do we say we want a centralized government?

Yea, right, the place would sink like a rock.
And you would constantly fight greed, same as with capitalism or communism. there will always be those that are greedy.
It would never work well.
people usually are not jacks of all trades. work at walmart during the day, determine the proper route for a water system and acquire right of way by night. or work at mc donalds and then determine which tank and which airplane the country needs to buy for defense by night.
It is best for those people to be able to vote for representives to do their work for them.
People who are involved in the process, talk with each other about the problems they are facing, understand the causes, and think of solutions.
"the average Susy or Johny come lately that works at walmart"
Yes, them too. When they are involved, they can understand more than you think.
Are they not allowed to vote in your country?
You think they are too dumb to be involved in power, but you don't think
that they are too dumb to VOTE? How do those dumb people understand
who represents them then?
How are they not just voting for the most effective LIARS?
I want them to be INVOLVED, so they won't make the ignorant choices
that they are making now.
They are NOT voting for representatives who work for them.
They are voting for LIARS, who are screwing them.
Do you think that the Republicans and Democrats are actually representing
the "average Susy or Johnny come lately"? OMG!
Will you?
I will also protect that right for people I disagree with. Will you?
If you don't protect your democracy and you throw away your freedom,
it doesn't just affect me, or you, it might destroy the whole of humanity,
because the US is the most powerful country in the world.
That's what they hired the Cyber Ninjas for, and they said there was no evidence.
"TRUMP-the best President in American history!!! Get over it!"
I replied:
"Prove it. What has he done for us?"
You replied:
"Let me see-He closed the border, cut taxes, brought trillions of dollars back into Our Country with tariffs, ended a handful of wars to try and make this a peaceful world! Want more? The last President and his goons tried to destroy us and now we're on the right track to saving America! And He's just getting started! WTFU!!!
-----------------------
Okay.
He did NOT close the border. At best he slowed down the crossings.
Taxes. Republicans admit there is a problem with the broad tax and health care law they passed this summer.
They are hoping a new name, and some ready cash, can fix it.
It was called the One Big Beautiful Bill for months, a nod to President Trump’s desire for Republicans to pass his agenda into law through one, not two, pieces of legislation. But the party in recent weeks has had to switch things up. With polls showing the legislation to be unpopular with the public,
He did NOT end any wars.
The tariffs are bringing tons of cash into the Federal coffers, but, it's going to pay for the loss of huge tax cuts to large corporations and multimillionaire buddies. That is costing the public to pay more for imported goods witch is a huge amount.
Whatever the last president did or did not do, has little, if anything, to do with the present. He's been president for eight months and prices keep moving up. Inflation is going up. The job market is going down. The Ukrain/Russia war is still going on. Gaza is still at war. Canadians are boycotting our products and tourism is way down. The crops are not being harvested.
Yes, he is just getting started. That's what's scary.
He promised he'd lower them and millions of people voted for that.
Has he done that?
Key Details
Overall trend:
The rate of food price inflation has slowed, but prices are still rising, not falling.
Recent increases:
Grocery prices saw their largest monthly jump in nearly three years in September 2025, with overall prices up 0.5% from July to August.
Year-over-year:
In the 12 months ending in August 2025, overall grocery prices were up nearly 3%.
Ok Phart, I hear you.
Answer: because he believes in him blindly so he'll deny everything no matter how true it is.
You can't reply.
I am looking at the shit, you are way the hell over there, unless the media tells you,you have no idea what is going on over here.and you soak it up like a sponge if it is negative.
Read his "reply". Once again, he's diffusing the matter, just like his supreme leader. I was speaking about trump's promises that prices would go down. He ignored that.
Also, he thinks he knows what's going on in other countries when, in reality, he only knows what's going on in the boonies he lives in.
This kind of mentality, these kind of people, don't exist in many places in the world. Even the nomads i meet in the vast open places around here have much more understanding of the world and, more importantly, of what it means to be human, than imbeciles like phart and other maga clowns.
The average US American doesn't even know where Europe is, let alone how it is or functions.
Joel olsteen, he blows smoke up peoples ass's trying to tell them they can have it all by sending him some.

You sit there thinking you are smart since you can quote Socrates and probably can't even change a light bulb.

And my ancestors left Europe for a reason, it is fucked up.

What I don’t understand is how can a gallon of gasoline be cheaper than a gallon of milk, by the time you pump the crude out of the ground process it in the refineries ship it to the ports, truck it out to the stations and milk, just find a cow which there are plenty of them and milk it, does that sound too technical lol.
i miss those days of having our own stuff right here.
Inflation rising steadily
Though there has not been a broad rise in inflation, there has been a surge in prices of some goods exposed to tariffs. Businesses have been selling inventory accumulated before President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs kicked in, preventing inflation from spiraling.
Producers have also been absorbing some of the duties. Economists, however, do not expect this trend to continue indefinitely and expect businesses will at some point pass on the tariffs to consumers on a wider scale. Inventories were drawn down in the second quarter.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index increased 0.3 per cent in August after gaining 0.2 per cent in July, the BEA said. In the 12 months through August, the PCE Price Index advanced 2.7 per cent. That was the biggest year-on-year increase since February and followed a 2.6-per-cent rise in July.
Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the PCE Price Index rose 0.2 per cent last month after increasing 0.2 per cent in July. In the 12 months through August, the so-called core inflation index increased 2.9 per cent after rising 2.9 per cent in July.
Having to settle for wholesale chicken or the cheaper brand is NOT how a healthy economy is supposed to work. You, Dgraff go ahead and “cackle”, but, you know, deep inside, this is not working.

Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail is one of 'most scenic drives in Florida'
If you've never been, the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail is a treasure to behold with sweeping ocean and river views aplenty, as well as parks and historic sites like the sugar mill ruins found on Old Dixie Highway.
In its description of the loop trail, World Atlas describes the pathway's "Old Florida" vibe, saying it "could be the closest thing to a live-oak tunnel you will come across in the Sunshine State."
The drive encompasses 34 winding miles, connecting several roads and highways, including a portion of S.R. A1A where you can see an old WWII submarine watch tower. Also not to be missed is Walker Boardman Land and High Bridge Road "where the live oaks and Spanish moss form a beautiful cathedral ceiling" and the sprawling, luxurious waterfront homes on John Anderson Drive.
World Atlas notes other highlights, such as The Casements, the former home of John D. Rockefeller; North Peninsula State Park; Bulow Creek State Park, a lush oasis with woodsy trails; and Tomoka State Park, especially if you want to see some wildlife.

The heroism of war is a lie, it’s not the bravest who fight, but those who have no other choice. It’s not the noble who die, but those who are the least equipped to avoid death.
The glory of war is a mask put on to cover the despair of people without hope.
War is the manifestation of a society that has lost its meaning. Every life is disposable for a national or political ideal when the rich wage war. It is the poor that die, the sacrifice is always made by those who have the least to gain. War is sold to the public as a necessary evil, the powerful and the rich paint it as a moral Crusade, but the Crusaders are the poor and the disenfranchised.
Every war is a war of fear. It is purposely portrayed to the people as a kind of ecstasy.
If they believe in it, they will likely believe in anything that releases them from the responsibility of creating their own destiny. It’s true that men love their fear, it reconciles them with their cowardice and shame. Men get the war they deserve!

and road builders. Who do you think Russia is sending to fight?
All I hear is propaganda and ignorance. Your media is destroying your brain.
Tell me what you think Russia will do, if Ukraine fully surrenders tomorrow.
Do you think they won't do something that they will call "denazification"?
If you know how they treat their own citizens, then what will that look like?
Would you want to put yourself at the mercy of your conquer, like that?
if you are alive, you can heal,recover and fight another day. if you are dead, you can't do shit,including defending your land or your family. just stop fighting. rest, russia can't afford to do alot right now, you can gather your men,your guns, and attack while they are asleep-drunk from their vodka they drank after they thought they won.

A bard is traditionally a poet, musician, or storyteller who composes and performs songs, poems, or stories, often celebrating heroic deeds, history, or cultural traditions.

Why Gallup Is Trusted:
- Scientific, transparent methodology: Gallup employs rigorous research methods—including probability-based random sampling, demographic weighting, and maintaining long-standing trend series—to ensure credible results across topics like politics, health, and well-being. Their Methodology Center emphasizes this commitment to quality data.
-Global reach: The Gallup World Poll covers over 150 countries, surveying approximately 1,000 people per country using in-person or telephone methods depending on coverage, allowing for internationally comparable data
- Low bias in reporting: Media Bias/Fact Check rates Gallup as “least biased” with “high credibility,” noting a 69% accuracy rating in political polling and only a slight right-leaning skew (~+0.6).
Elon's approval ratings would be even lower.
you can be sure that he would drop all the way down.
At this moment, he appears clean to most people.
He also doesn't contribute to your Christo-fascism,
but speaks out against it. Everyone except you likes that.
This is evidence that you are a much smaller group than you want to believe.
People obviously think that Elon is changing the world more for the worse,
than for the good. Technology can be positive, but fascism isn't, ever.
Don't overestimate Elon's positive effect. He promised the world affordable electric cars. He is not delivering, he keeps building too expensive cars. He could easily deliver what he promises, he is the wealthiest man in the world, but he keeps failing on his promises. People take that in consideration when they judge him.
Cheaper raw materials, probably somewhat. Why, though?
Cheaper technology? Not really, they just have lots of government investments.
Labor is only a tiny part of car manufacturing. Cars are mostly made by robots.
Elon could make cheaper electric cars, but he doesn't want to. He wants to be a trillionaire. He doesn't care about humanity or nature, he only cares about what makes him wealthy. He could once talk a good game, and he invested well, but now his mind is fucked, probably from all the drugs he's taking. Electric cars were a good investment. I told you many times that I liked him for making EV's cool. But, I also told you that EV's are not saving the world, they are just saving the car. If he is not delivering the cars that humanity needs, but keeps making the big, expensive ones, he's not doing anything positive. He's only taking lots of tax-dollars, to give rich people a good feeling for driving electric. That money could go to better goals.
I don't consider China 'good', but they are better than Elon.
They are actually investing in technology that humanity needs to survive.
ON EARTH, that is, while Elon is investing in humanity surviving on Mars.
He is wasting lots of money on that fantasy, while he takes money from people who need it. That's why I dislike him, besides being a fascist.
Of course, that's much to complicated for most people who answered the poll.
They just saw him turn X into a fascist conspiracy theorist's wet dream
and saw him do the Nazi salute. Those are good reasons to hate him.
However, in the US, they are fanatical monsters. Their politicians are horrible back-stabbing liars, who abuse their power to destroy public schooling, with the goal of getting to indoctrinate other people's children. They also show an amount of hate, towards everyone outside of their cults, that has equals in history of very frightening times. In my country they are humble, in the US, they are downright evil.
The problem is that they are forced, and then get told that THEY sinned.
First they teach them everything related to sex is a sin, and then they r@pe them.
That has fucked up many kids, who suffer from it their whole lives.
However, some have said that the intolerant religion did more damage than the r@pe.
Don't confuse the feelings of 14 y.o. boys, with those of dirty old men, like us.
Many of them were much younger, by the way. Some were girls too.
Sex is fun for consenting adults. Kids might start experimenting before they are adults, but that's no reason for adults to be involved with that. That usually turns out to be very damaging. Not everyone is ready at age 16 or 18, some much earlier, but that's an arbitrary limit that we have set as society, to protect the children who are not.
Or is this some coping for your president, who has very like abused under@ged girls. Understand that being a forced prostitute has no safe age limit, to prevent damage.
He is weaponizing the legal system and the FBI, to keep himself out of prison.
Presidential immunity doesn't cover sex-crimes, from before taking office.

the younger generation can't even decide if they are male or female, and you expect them to care about democracy? hell, as long as they get a check each month, they are not going to give a shit.
You know why? Because they took money from the wealthy just like Republicans.
The wealthy pay the Republicans to fight for them, and they pay the Democrats
to bend the knees for them. That's why the libs are WEAK.
The only true fighters are THE LEFT. I think even you can see that.
It never took any courage to be a Republican. The wealthy got their backs.
Never any consequences, no matter how many laws you break.
Get rich doing nothing.
At least the libs have to make believe that they are doing something for the people.
Republicans just say that lazy and brown people caused your poverty,

once a week, you don't have to think, or write complicated laws, you just break shit, never show up for work, while the money keeps flowing in from the wealthy, Israel and Russia, and the stupid cult members.
your shit is what is old.
She just wants a standard democracy, instead of an oligarchy.
I’m not living beyond my means. What gave you that idea?
Florida is very expensive, that’s true, but in certain areas only Mostly due to DeSantis and the damn snowbirds (mostly Repuckers) and home insurance.
Both Woody and I have good retirement and money in savings accounts. Either one of us can afford living alone.
Not on a hotdog budget but, I get my meats from GRAZIANO’S meat market (google it, their restaurants are to die for) their aged Argentine imported prime meats, including chorizo sausage and blood sausage are next to none except for Brazilian meats. Hotdogs are for the uneducated pallets.
That will very much NOT lower your inflation.
Do you know what Trump did, to lower the oil price? He didn't increase US extraction. "As of August 2025, U.S. crude oil production is approximately 13.5 million barrels per day (bpd), marking a slight decrease from the record high of 13.63 million bpd reached in December 2024."
So, why is the price of oil down?
1. Increased OPEC+ Production
OPEC+ has raised oil production quotas, with an additional 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) scheduled for September 2025. This move aims to balance supply and demand but has contributed to a supply glut, putting downward pressure on prices.
2. Weakening U.S. Economic Indicators
Recent economic data from the U.S. suggests a slowdown, with growth falling below potential levels. This raises concerns about reduced oil demand, particularly in the OECD countries, leading to downward revisions in global consumption forecasts.
3. Trade Tensions and Tariffs
The looming August 1 tariff deadline imposed by President Trump has created uncertainty in global markets. Investors are concerned about potential disruptions in trade relationships, which could negatively impact oil demand and contribute to price declines.
So, Trump is destroying your economy and global investments, which results in lower oil prices. Oil prices increased under "Mr Magoo", because the economy was BOOMING. Simple supply vs demand.
You don't understand inflation. The prices of groceries aren't an effect of inflation, they are one of the indicators of inflation. The prices of food are determined by supply and demand. If harvests are destroyed, the price of food goes up. If some company destroys their competition and becomes a monopoly, they can raise the price of their product and their profit margin.
If energy become more expensive, because there is a global energy crisis, that will affect the cost of all products that require energy to manufacture.
Interest rates are also a demand and supply issue, of money itself. If you lower the interest rates, you increase the supply of money, not the demand. Then the "price" of money goes down. In other words, you decrease the value of money, making everything you want to buy with it more expensive, especially from products from countries with lower inflation, because your value decreasing currency buys less of it then.
13.63 million barrels per day in December 2024, $71.72 per barrel.
13.50 million barrels per day currently, $66.85 per barrel.
Why was the oil price higher under Biden, while the US produced more oil then?
I'll tell you, it's DEMAND. When the economy cools down, demand for oil declines, resulting in lower prices.
One example is the 2008 financial crisis. Before the crisis: In mid‑2008, crude oil prices (Brent and WTI) peaked at record highs of around $140–$147 per barrel due to strong demand and market speculation.
During the crisis: As the global financial system collapsed and demand plummeted, prices fell dramatically, reaching around $30–$40 per barrel by the end of 2008 and early 2009.
Recovery: Prices gradually recovered as economies stabilized, climbing back to the $70–$80 range by late 2009 and eventually over $100 in subsequent years.
You might think that Trump is doing a good job, when they oil price goes down, but unless he achieved anything on the demand side of energy
(not just oil), the oil price going down is an indicator of the economy cooling down.
I bet it’ll get better on January 21, 2029.
Eggs were 6 dollars a dozen
Milk was 5 dollars a gallon
Gas was 4 dollars a gallon at least
Heating Oil was 5 dollars a gallon
You Democrats are all alike you lie through your teeth and hope America 🇺🇸 don’t remember
“ Upon his inauguration, Donald Trump made lowering the cost of living a key focus of his economic agenda. However, the economic reality regarding price changes following his inauguration presents a mixed picture:
Inflation: Overall inflation eased slightly during the first few months of his administration, according to government data. However, this didn't necessarily mean prices were decreasing across the board, rather that the rate of increase in prices slowed. More recent reports indicate inflation is once again ticking up, with consumer prices in June 2025 showing a 2.6% increase compared to the previous year.”
Put your electronics down grab your bifocals and go out shopping for the day see what things actually cost instead of posting google look ups and consumer reports and phoney numbers and percentages from the left side Marcy works for a food chain she tells me every day what is up or down cody8789 can tell you firsthand because he works for a food chain also don’t forget your bifocals so you see what I’m seeing
It just goes to show you their are left look ups and right depending on the party you are registered under
Cody8789 works for a food chain. What does that mean? I shop at several food chains. I also gas up my cat. My dry cleaning is not a national chain, but, I go to Texas Roadhouse and Carrabba's and Long Horn. I also go to Graziano's. Dollar Tree is no longer a dollar and going to Disney costs more than my mortgage and insurance combined. That is not Biden's fault. Six months after Biden was in office you said that he was in charge. Well, your fuckup has been in office for six months. What has he done for you and me? Am I living better? Am I saving more money? Is FEMA ready to help me during this hurricane season? Are you able to get medicine cheaper?
Come on, Dgraff, show me how wrong I am with or without glasses.
I just paid $11+ for a 12 pack of toilet paper. A year ago it was $6.50 or less. Eggs went down, but I just paid $9+ for 18 eggs.
All relative but still....
And what do you think about all the Chinese stuff that can't be replaced without paying through the nose?
when i say things are as good or better now, i go by what i see in the store myself with my own eyes.
i eat at a place like that once a year maybe for my birthday or on the day marking a year longer after my accident when i am depressed as hell and need something good to cheer me up. .you are talking 30 buck plus meals for 1 at a place like that by the time you tip the waitress that lets your sweet tea go dry twice.
i will admit, much as annas will be in disbelief, i aint much on killin things and guttin them and skinnin them,. i would probably eat alot of corn and beans and shit.
Never let it be said that i don’t beat my meat
Obama in jail
The Clinton’s in jail
The Biden’s all in jail
Bill gates in jail
Oprah in jail
Kamala Harris in jail
Whoopi Goldberg in jail
And a whole bunch more that I’m forgetting
Openly supports imprisoning everyone who ever made him angry.
Legendary!
They will only 'invade a man’s property' if he cheats on his taxes.
That's not Biden breaking the law, that's him upholding the law.
If there is no one making sure people pay their taxes, no one will.
And then your country goes bankrupt. It's already pretty close to it.
You probably are a tax cheat, but that's you breaking the law, not Biden.
Throwing Biden in jail, so they don't go after you? Are you fucking crazy?
If you think that Trump will let you scam taxes, you're really dumb.
He only lets the wealthy do that, NOT YOU. He needs YOU to pay MORE.
What do you think tariffs are? TAXES! ON YOU!
What about Oprah? She's at best a centrist. What did she do?
And Whoopi Goldberg? She's damn right-wing and ignorant as fuck.
Did you just thrown in some black women, for good measure?
Even if the government only pays for the military and the police,
that money still needs to come from somewhere.
And then who will pay for everything else? People!
It's either taxes, or you will need to pay for everything you want to use.
Want to drive this road? $5 please! Want to cross this bridge? $10 please.
That's much more expensive, because it's incredibly inefficient.
That would completely destroy the US, the opposite of MAGA.
Are you really this brainwashed or just acting like it?
they come get it from the average American and the poor.
It was your choice to have them do the latter.
They also don't need that many IRS agents, to go after normal Americans,
because you don't have an army of lawyers hiding your money
and defending you, when you break the law.
By letting Trump fire IRS agents, you are securing yourself as the targets.
Now the wealthy can cheat even more, while you get punished for a mistake.
Did DOGE find even one big wealthy tax-cheat?
No, they canceled grandma's social security.
If you don't learn from that, you never will.
Anything to say about dgraff wanting to imprison everyone you dislike?
There was no need for extra IRS agents to go after Trump.
Trump is not that smart. They had all the evidence that they needed.
and you lot were stupid enough to make him president again.
Biden is indeed not a criminal. Republicans tried to manufacture evidence against him, but were proven to be liars.
None of the legal cases were won by Trump. His defense didn't even have any response to all the evidence against Trump. They're strategy was obstruction and delay, combined with reasoning that Trump had the right to do what he did, instead of rejecting that he did it. Trump would have certainly lost all his cases and would have been found guilty of all or most charges, because he was NOT allowed to do what he did. Unfortunately, he was effective in his delay strategy, because he became president before verdict was achieved. His legal cases were either dropped or paused until he's president no longer. The biggest crime Trump has been accused of is criminal conspiracy to undermine American democracy.
Specifically, Trump was charged with the crimes:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Max: 5 years in prison and fines.
- Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(k))
Max: 20 years in prison.
- Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c))
Max: 20 years in prison.
- Conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241)
Max: 10 years, but up to life or death penalty if the conspiracy involves kidnapping, sexual abuse, or death (not alleged in Trump’s case).
Trump was also charged with:
Willful retention of national defense information (Violations of the Espionage Act)
- Charged with 31 counts, each related to keeping a separate classified document marked “SECRET” or “TOP SECRET” at Mar‑a‑Lago without authorization.
These documents included materials on U.S. nuclear weapons, military capabilities, vulnerabilities, and foreign intelligence reports—posing significant national security risks.
Each count carries up to 10 years in prison (though there are no mandatory minimums).
Since there were several TOP SECRET documents still unaccounted for, Trump was still under investigation. He is not telling what he did with these documents. If they would find out that he sold them or gave them to a hostile but not wartime adversary (e.g., Russia, China in peacetime), that would probably be charged as espionage.
Each count carries up to 10 years in prison.
The whole world saw Trump lie about those documents, over and over, until he admitted to have them, so don't try any stupid make believe that he's not GUILTY AS FUCK!
When you move to the United States 🇺🇸 and do it legally or ice will send you right back then you have your say until then keep your opinions to yourself
You have the balls (and I’m using this as a figure of speech, not a statement of fact) to still think this Clown has your interest at heart? Sad.
Trump is an incredible narcissist, he only cares about himself.
The only reason he became president again is to save himself from prison.
The whole world saw him be a traitor and break the law about 100 times.
In any real democracy, he would have been behind bars the next day.
but the buffoon keeps investing in that old tech, while not investing in new tech.
You're destroying your competitiveness with the rest of the world.
In how many ways do you want to fuck over your own country?
It's not America First, it's America last.
Trump might be Israel First, or Russia First, but not America First.
Look at his tariffs; the EU and the US now have a 15% tax on trade.
The US also has tariffs with all other countries in the world.
The EU doesn't have tariffs with the rest of the world.
We can still trade with EVERYONE ELSE, tax-free.
How do you think that will turn out? Good for the US?
obsolete tech for energy? a electron can flow thru a copper wire now same as it did a 100 years ago. coal can heat water to make steam to turn a turbine to generate electricity or it ,or the water can spin a water wheel. same as a 100 years ago.
this new tech is expensive and not recyclable without alot of expanse, so it cost more on both ends.by the time a solar panel pays for it's self, it has lost alot of it's capacity.
Solar and wind are already much cheaper than fossil fuels,
even while fossil fuels are heavily subsidized.
You keep forgetting the cost of the damage. The climate is putting higher costs on your country every single year. You can cancel FEMA, but that means that people just end up homeless for longer. That's a massive burden on your economy.
The risk isn't just climate change, it's also old-fashioned pollution.
There are areas around your fossil fuel extraction plants, where citizens have a 200x higher risk of getting cancer, than in the safest areas of your country.
That's a massive burden on your economy.
Maybe you could make everything that we can, but if that
would have been better, you would have already done it.
It's what we buy from you, that you should worry about.
We can also make everything you make, in many cases better.
Your economy will come to a screaming halt, if we do that.
If you keep making things on coal energy, we might stop buying those.
Your citizens are poorer every day. They don't spend enough to keep your economy alive. You only think about the supply side, the job creators, but do you even understand the demand side of the economy?
People actually need to buy your overpriced crap.
cars you won't buy because you regulate everyone to roller-skates, that number was not relevant to the big picture.
cotton for your clothes, we will just use it here if you don't buy it. sure there will be growing pains.
but we would survive just fine
Americans are not starving because of a lack of food,
but because of a lack of MONEY.
"Weapons you don't buy, can go in our stock piles"
Have you never heard of increasing or decreasing production output?
The reason we don't buy American cars is not regulation,
but because they are too heavy, too big and guzzle fuel.
They don't fit in our hundreds of years old cities.
If you made cars that we would want to buy, we would.
Well, maybe not if they're 15% more expensive than European
and Asian cars.
The reason we do not buy American beef IS because of regulation,
but also because we can make beef that does comply with regulation CHEAPER.
America became the #1 economy in the world, because you produced stuff that other countries wanted to buy. Even though you outsourced a lot of your production to China, you still earned most of the profits. That is changing, because your innovation strength is dwindling, while China's innovation strength is skyrocketing. They don't need you anymore.
Your economy is heavily dependent on domestic consumption, so your economy would be able to survive on your own production and consumption. The problem is that everything is owned by billionaires.
They will leave you, when you're not making them enough money.
You have sacrificed a lot for them to become this wealthy, but that didn't result in any loyalty towards YOU. They screw you for a dollar.
At least Biden tried to invest in education, science and US manufacturing, but Trump thinks he can solve it with tariffs, while he's destroying education and science. He thinks US manufacturing will come back without government investments. That's stupid, you cannot win from China which is investing trillions. Your billionaires are not going to invest in your country, just because of nationalism. They only invest to make more profits for themselves. If their money makes a better return on investment in Mexico, Canada, China or Europe, they'll invest there. If you don't provide them with smart people, who can invent their intellectual property, they'll leave the US for that too.
You WON'T survive just fine. The term MAGA worked, because you know the US is in trouble. Your empire is failing, and Trump is accelerating it.
He's too dumb to understand the causes, and you are following him blind towards utter destruction. Why? Because you like his ignorance and hatred.
that's ANTI-American.
Once The Constitution was your pride,
but you crapped on it, for whole the world to see.
You once thought of yourself as the shining light of democracy,
now you are openly supporting authoritarianism.
SHAME ON YOU!
Every accusation that Republicans threw at him vaporized.
His accusers were caught fabricating evidence and using a perjurious witness.
When was Biden found to be unfit to stand trial?
Are you talking about Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report (February 2024)
on Biden’s handling of classified documents, which declined to prosecute him, noting Biden’s memory lapses. That report did not declare Biden legally unfit
to stand trial. The transcripts of the interviews showed Robert Hur to be misrepresenting Biden's mental state.
There was no legal standing to accuse Biden of any criminal wrongdoing.
Biden did mishandle classified documents. After leaving the vice presidency, he retained and disclosed some classified materials related to Afghanistan and other topics. These were found at his home and former office. However, Hur concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove criminal intent — a necessary element for prosecution under U.S. law (e.g., willful retention under 18 U.S.C. § 793).
That is completely different for Trump. INTENT was the least of it.
Key Alleged Crimes:
- Willful Retention of National Defense Information
Keeping dozens of classified documents after leaving the presidency, in violation of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)).
- Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice
Working with aides to conceal documents from federal investigators and the grand jury (18 U.S.C. § 1512(k)).
- Obstruction of Justice / Withholding Documents
Direct acts to obstruct the investigation, such as moving boxes and providing false assurances (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(b), 1512(c)).
- Concealing or Hiding a Document
Knowingly hiding records to prevent them from being found in an official investigation (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)).
- False Statements and Representations
Causing lawyers to certify falsely that all classified materials were returned (18 U.S.C. § 1001).
The ones who survive until 1970, not so much.
The large majority of the German people now consider their history very shameful.
My principle is to be critical of my country and my government, at all time.
They don't have to represent my opinions, because we live in a democracy,
but whatever opinions they do represent, I could only be 'proud' of them
if they pass a whole number of moral standards.
Inciting hatred towards groups of people is an immediate FAIL.
Yes, many Germans did not support Hitler making the Jews the scapegoat and gaining power from inciting hatred. If they were caught helping Jews, what happened to them?
Trump has gained power by inciting hatred against LGTBQ+ people and immigrants.
If you're proud because of the hatred against LGTBQ+, you're just a bigot, and we cannot have a discussion about that.
I agree that illegal immigrants in a country are a problem, but HATE IS NEVER OK.
Your country could solve that problem without the hatred.
What is so special about the specific group of Jews, that they should be protected,
no matter what they do? They suffered from Hitler's evil, hatred and prosecution,
but that's no justification for them doing a genocide of themselves.
They have no more right to that piece of land than the Palestinian people.
Correct, the Soviet Union (USSR) under Stalin and Nazi Germany under Hitler,
signed a non-aggression pact, known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (August 1939).
Did you know about the Munich Agreement? On 30 September 1938, Britain (Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain) and France agreed to allow Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, in an attempt to avoid war (a policy known as appeasement). Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, and Daladier signed it.
Were they then just as bad as Hitler?
The world is indeed, for big a part, complicit with the evil of WWII,
but it was Hitler who used hatred against a group of people, to rise to power.
Rising to power, by using hatred towards people, is what Trump is doing.
You might agree with some things that he's doing, but being PROUD!?!
Funny, how a random guy I meet on an adult forum would make a better POTUS.
I was a democrat until 2012. What changed my mind was the lack of transparency, the depletion of our economy especially after the 9/11 tragity. Then when they were supporting Iran, the number 1 sponsor of terrorism in the world who was responsible funding 9/11 I realized I made a mistake. JFK was a democrat who I considered the 4 best of all time once he was murdered it didn't matter who won the presidency because they worked for the globalist network.
Trump on his first primary was the key to me switching. Close the border, convert education local which is key, and foreign policy namely GDP % contributions towards NATO to be level. Shrink government to where they are responsible for maintaining national sovereignty and defenses. The governments needs to be employed by the people, not by abuse of power.
But the key point was the leveling business model making tariffs level playing field. Why should americans pay for free healthcare in europe? Why should we pay for free education when the citizens here can't even afford going to college? Why open the borders with leeches getting free healthcare, education with spending allowances while our blue city streets are flooded with poverty?
There are still deep state operatives in the repubclican party and it is divided with smoke screens. That is why the media and democrats with some republicans hate him so much because he sought to change the business model of politics..
The only way democracy can work is to use the desire creating a more perfect union becoming educated through critical reasoning. The country must be educated. Right now america is 32nd in the world even though they spend more money on education than anyone. This is corruption. Dumbing america, propaganda and forced poverty has taken its toll.
The detaining of hundreds of people on immigration charges earns the jail more than $24,000 a day or $720,000 a month in fees paid by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) – on top of $36 an hour in transportation fees the jail charges Ice.
So much for “wanting to do something about the illegal”.

Other estimates suggest a higher cost, with one organization reporting a figure of around $7 billion annually for the uninsured undocumented population in 2019.
so why not some lower paid folks earn some money from the crisis? and once they are deported and the border is fixed, the spending on them is over
You're not spending on them, you're taking from them.
“Hospitals are supposed to provide emergency care to all patients who come in the door, regardless of their ability to pay or their immigration status. The requirement is in line with the Hippocratic Oath and enshrined in federal law, specifically the 1986 Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).”
This has been around for almost 40 years. Lots of Repuckers have been in charge with no changes.

If you don't like socialism, provide a link to a video called:
"How Capitalists Solved The Housing Crisis"
You don't need social housing, you can afford to buy.
So do I, but I still think people who are not as lucky,
deserve to live in a decent home as well.
They are a useless burden to society. It's your fault for creating them.
I'm not a lefty/socialist out of compassion alone, but because it's better for ALL OF US.
It maximizes people's potential, so they contribute to society.
Bums in cardboard boxes don't contribute anything. Well, maybe diseases.
so they could live in a nice box.
whats wrong with putting down the needle or the bottle and going to work?
whats wrong with not having kids or pets if you can't feed them>?
whats wrong with people that they think the rest of us owe people that choose to be worthless bums a damn thing?
What's wrong is your 'thinking' that those problems apply to all bums.
Your system is very good at crushing people, who do everything right.
There are many people who have no fault at all for getting crushed.
People's lives can also get crushed to rubble, AFTER having kids or pets.
Losing ones job or losing ones health is a big risk of that. No fault of them.
We should have a system who prevents occurrences like that crushing people.
The US didn't have that already, but your political side made it even worse.
There is nothing wrong with people who think we owe each other,
there is something wrong with people who think everyone is on their own.
It isn't logical and it isn't consistent with any religion.
In any case, the majority of people don't agree with you, and they will fight back.
The worse it gets before they succeed at it, the harder your side will fall.
taking away all motivation to improve 1's self by making sure the folks know they will not suffer for being lazy and non productive.
tax the rich to pay for the lazy, the rich will just leave and your system would not support it's self.
edit, i got to thinking, damn, i must be poor, i don't have access to a swimming pool.
so can i live in this cheap government housing since i can't afford a pool? wait, i can get a plastic kiddy pool from walmart so i guess i don't qualify.
what would motivate people to do better for themselves if they are living cheap off the governments taxing the "wealthy" ?
and where is the line between wealthy and living in this cheap housing? what is to stop bill gates from putting his estate into a trust and moving in?
do you have a pool cat? maybe you could move into that fancy place built on the tax payers dime?
if you don't have a pool,you are poor according to the socialist
what we as a country need to be looking at is who do we put in for 2028? we need to continue the progress we are making as Rome was not built in a day and our country was not torn apart over night. it takes time,aka years, to fix the fucks up of obama-biden, just the border crisis alone will affect us for decades as we don't know how many terrorist swam over and spoke some spanish to get a free ride to wherever
well first, they would reduce the stupid regulations that cause houses to be so expensive.
We can't use what are referred to as tiny homes in my county, zoning won't allow it. why? because the democrat led county would rather bring in sub divisions with 400,000 dollar plus homes into the area and tax them.
another thing, the bullshit laws preventing you from building your own home on your own property should be abolished. you can't even cut lumber from trees on your own land to use in your home. your home,not the countys home that taxes it.
developers push down acres of trees and burn them to make way for new houses and then import lumber to build them. the very trees they push down and burn could be made into lumber and used on the homes being built. it was done that way years ago.
but not any more. why? because dems can't collect sales tax from the lumber.
i could go on, and may add some more later. but i have a feeling common sense,back to basics solutions are not what you are looking for.
I'm NOT supporting "liberal ideas", related to housing.
"Liberal" in that sense mean exactly what you want. Liberalization of housing means: privatization and deregulation. That's exactly what our government did and which resulted in skyrocketing rent and house prices.
I'm not a liberal, I'm a socialist, I support public ownership.
That's the opposite of privatization and deregulation.
First get your terminology straight, before you discuss economic models for housing.
Right wing policies, (neo)liberal policies, privatization and deregulation,
have NEVER on any significant scale resulted in lower living costs for the public.
However, left-wing (not liberal) policies have been proven to work many times.
When governments increase public ownership, regulation, and long-term investment in housing, affordability, quality, and access tend to improve, especially for lower- and middle-income households. This has been tried and done large scale many times, all over the world, to great success.
There is overwhelming evidence that it worked in Vienna, Austria, Sweden, Singapore and The Netherlands, until the 1990s. I have lived the successes and I have seen the results of privatization and deregulation all around me.
Houses are not so expensive because of stupid regulations, houses are so expensive because it's one of the simplest way for rich people to exploit poor people, when a government privatizes and deregulates housing.
I don't THINK that my ideas the only 1's that might work.
There is just a FUCK-TON of EVIDENCE that your ideas DON'T work and mine DO.
Civilization has been building houses for a while now. Right?
All the ideas have been tried and tested, all over the world.
They just keep telling you that you need deregulation, because it makes a small group of wealthy people even more wealthy, over the backs of everyone else.
You just listen to the people who get paid to LIE FOR THEM.
you can identify it quickly if the buildings are more than a couple years old because there is trash everywhere, they are covered in graffiti ,with junk cars in the parking lot and a mobile police tower nearby.
because the people that use that housing don't work,won't work and do not take any pride in what is provided,don't appreciate it nor do they care how others feel about the way they treat what is provided for them.
if you were given a home, how would you treat it? more than likely you would keep it clean and so forth,why can't everyone?
i worked with a black man for a while and sometimes we would go into poverished areas of town while working and i finally ask him 1 day," why is all this trash laying around?" he said, "because they are poor". i pointed to a plastic grocery bag laying near a park bench and ask him how money it would cost to pick up that bag,put some loose garbage in it and place it into a city provided trash can. he suddenly couldn't answer that question. people are quick to blame their lack of funds on all kinds of issues. and for some reason folks like you tend to make it taboo to ask them why funds are relevant to taking pride in what you do have and taking care of it.
If you don't want to inform yourself about what the rest of the world does,
your worldview on this is totally skewed.
you are over there,living what apparently is a very blessed life,not a care in the world.
You could actually learn a lot, from the successes of others.
But, you would rather believe that you're the best at everything.
It's a thing that CAN work, if you don't want to change the system itself,
but it's a policy of accepting defeat to capitalism.
And he goes to church too.
And brings guns, just in case a foreign guy walks in.
Violent crime, including offenses like assault, robbery, and homicide, has seen an increase in recent years. In 2022-23, police recorded over 2.1 million incidents of violent crime,
In England and Wales, there were approximately 6.59 million crimes recorded by the police in 2024/25, a slight decrease from the previous year. However, this is still one of the highest figures in the past two decades.
now that does not sound civilized. so clean up your own back yard you bunch of wankers!!!
They are a very expensive mascot, but people seem to like it.
It gives a country some status. Trump was very happy to stay in our palace.
He's our top diplomat. Not as smart, but he gets the job done.
I think religion is more stupid. At least my king and queen are real.
Hell no, that people like me cannot speak out against your wannabe dictator.
It's propaganda! They can't have citizens knowing how their politics is failing them.
It's the same in Russia, North Korea, Turkey, India and a whole lot of other countries with authoritarian leaders. Every single wannabe dictator starts with taking control of the media and the judiciary.
I wouldn't say that all churches have this effect on people, but I would be very surprised if phart goes to one of the more liberal churches.
Their news is 24/7 fear porn and anger incitement. The result is people who prefer their personal idea of safety, rather than an actual safer society.
“If you agree with me 70% of the time, let’s work together.
If you agree with me 100% of the time, you’re probably in a cult.”

Must be a big one to reach page six
It's only a big one, when Trump talks about it.
Wow, The Clown is really making good on his promises. NOT.
and besides, this is a side effect of the future. Automation. the good riddance of workers demanding much more than they are worth for mundane, simple repetive task that can be done by a machine
Estimates of job losses due to automation and AI vary, but some projections suggest millions of jobs could be impacted. A McKinsey & Company study suggests that between 400 and 800 million individuals globally might need to find new jobs due to automation by 2030. Goldman Sachs predicts that 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI globally. While some jobs will be lost, others will be created, but the transition may require significant reskilling and adaptation.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Manufacturing:
20 million manufacturing jobs could be replaced by automation by 2030, according to PatentPC.
Global Impact:
The World Economic Forum projects that 85 million jobs could be lost due to AI and automation by 2025, but 97 million new jobs will also be created.
US Impact:
Up to 73 million US jobs are potentially at risk of being lost to automation in the next five years, according to a study cited by Edoxi.
Specific Sectors:
McKinsey predicts that up to 375 million workers globally may need to change occupations by 2030 due to automation.
AI's Role:
While some job losses are attributed to robots and other automation technologies, AI is also playing a role in job displacement, particularly in roles involving routine tasks.
Adaptation is Key:
Many sources emphasize the need for workers to adapt to the changing job market by acquiring new skills and embracing lifelong learning.
i hope the day comes when people regret ever asking for so much money, they think they can't make it now, wait until most jobs are done by automation or are done by ai. then they will really understand what it means to not be able to make it.
the next really great depression will be a permanent 1. ai and automation will take care of everything from trash collection to medical procedures. no need to pay workers comp for more than 2 or 3 people to operate and manage the company, it will run it's self.
Link your 'policies' to Biden, because you offer NO evidence that he has anything to do with what you are listing.
Why do you blame Biden for AI?
"In his first days back in office on January 23, 2025, President Trump revoked Biden’s AI regulations and signed Executive Order 14179, effectively deregulating federal oversight of AI"
🚨 Concerns & Criticisms
- Labor and consumer advocates warn that removing oversight puts worker rights and safety at risk .
- Meta’s Yann LeCun labeled the rollback a “witch hunt in academia”, fearing it drives researchers overseas.
- Federal AI body (AISI) cuts tied to the rollback could gut safety and equity efforts.
- Some analysts caution that spotty federal policy may lead to patchwork state laws, confusion, and compliance burdens.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There’s no evidence that President Biden has signed any legislation that encourages U.S. job offshoring. In fact, his proposals and enacted policies have specifically targeted the opposite"
"Here are several major Biden-era policies that have directly helped bring back jobs to the U.S.:
🏗️ Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) – Nov 2021
$550 billion in new spending on roads, bridges, broadband, EV charging, clean water, transit, ports, etc.
Funded over 60,000 projects, driving construction and forestry-related employment. Analysts found IIJA, CHIPS, and IRA together spurred factory and utility job growth across the country.
💡 CHIPS and Science Act – Aug 2022
Carved out $52 billion in grants and tax credits for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing.
Since passage:
$450 billion committed to chip and electronics manufacturing
17 new fabs, dozens of expansions across 21 states
Expected to create 125,000+ construction and manufacturing jobs, with 200+ projects already launched and 135,800 jobs projected.
🌿 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Aug 2022
The largest investment in clean energy in U.S. history.
Over $300 billion in private clean-energy investments announced so far; over 330,000 clean-energy jobs created; projected up to 1.5 million additional jobs over the next decade.
🇺🇸 American Rescue Plan & XR Programs
The $1.9 trillion COVID relief law helped jump-start the economy post-pandemic, accelerating the recovery.
Strengthened “Buy American” rules (raising domestic content threshold to 60–75%), directing $120 billion in federal procurement to U.S.-made goods.
🛡️ Executive Orders & Defense Production Act (DPA)
Signed executive orders boosting U.S. manufacturing (“Made in America”) to incentivize reshoring and facility revitalization.
Invoked the DPA (June 2022) to accelerate domestic clean-energy tech production (solar panels, heat pumps, grid components), leading to new manufacturing jobs in underserved communities.
📊 Impact & Job Trends
The U.S. economy added 16.6 million jobs from Biden’s inauguration through early 2025—it’s the only presidency with monthly job creation throughout its term so far.
367,000 manufacturing jobs added since January 2021—the fastest manufacturing-sector growth in nearly 30 years.
Manufacturing employment climbed to its highest level in ~15 years, with nearly 789,000 factory jobs added since Biden took office."

You owe Bella one don’t you
And, do I owe her one? If having to endure the constant reminder from her and you that I should genuflect every time I see her pic, then, yes, I guess I owe her one.
So, Pussy Dgraff, what else? And, if you remember what you’ve just brought up, then you should also remember that I deleted every pic in mt gallery except one. From that moment, ‘my pics have been as honest as anyone else on the site.
Also, from that day on, I was a bitch with a capital B, knowing that, on this site, at least, people kiss you on the cheek while holding a hidden dagger behind their backs.
So, come on, Pussy, what else?
You know what? This? This is a waste of time where I could be doing something important. Bye, Daniel.
“And, do I owe her one? If having to endure the constant reminder from her and you that I should genuflect every time I see her pic, then, yes, I guess I owe her one.

Endure MY “constant reminder”!? Ha! I haven’t kept track of or counted the number of times, I’m sure there’s been 2 or 3, maybe more but it’s not like I make a post about do you know what TWOWARMTTS did back when? And when you use a big word why not make sure you use it properly. Genuflect? Bow every time you see my picture?
And as for you deleting all but one picture, that is the truth, HOWEVER that one picture was placing blame on me and big9inch21 * for the removal of all your gallery pictures. You were not owning any of this being “your fault” you were pointing blame on us.
In case a new or fresh eye is reading the post(s), because I ASKED admin to include a freeze vote option on voting, I would reach out to the member in question with a screenshot of the referral to show that it is legit and I pretty much write the same blurb; You/your profile has been referred to the Evaluation Panel for xxx . Please consider (I always use the word consider because it is your choice whether you want to comply OR NOT) removing xxx otherwise your profile is in jeopardy of being deleted. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
2 or 3 of my 19 blacklisters have blacklisted me because I have reached out to them in that capacity.
* Just for point of reference when TWOWARMTTS came on the ShowYourDick/ShowYourCunt radar, we were using the original name AND big9inch21 was the king of the site.

This doesn't change anything. Dgraff is still a pussy and you are as obnoxious as always. Oh, yeah.
“you've brought that up in everyone of my memberships.”
IF I brought anything up it was because you had a different spin on things. You enjoy the challenge, search the Forum for just how many times the story was repeated and under what circumstance was it shared.
“And, frankly, now, I believe you do so just to justify your "please, look, I'm such a nice person" attitude. We both know you are not.”
I am confident about who I am and from my vantage point, you seem to be confused about a number of things. Oh yeah!
“ We say and do a lot of stuff on this site. Some good. some bad, but we never cross the line.”
I’ve been here 13 consecutive years and you’re right behind me with 12 years. I’ve not been booted have you? I seem to recall some stuff that happened with the ol’ “router caper”, do you remember that?
I’ve never been booted close maybe but close only counts in horse shoes and hand-grenades

Still, if he has to suck Trumps dick, to keep YOUR tax-dollars and weapons
going to Ukraine, I'm fine with that.
If our king has to whore out our queen to him, to get what we need, I'm fine with that.
Understand that you picked a president who can be easily persuaded with flattery
and personal gains, instead of him considering what's best for YOU. We will use that.

That SOB just got us into a new war.💩
i don't think folks like you understand the dangers of those people having a nuke. they want to die, they hate America, so they would use a nuke not caring how you or Anannas feels about it.
i am more concerned about terror cells here in the US striking now than iran having 9 of it's nuclear scientist killed at the same time and Trump taking out 3 sites.his strikes are usually very precise to reduce innocent people's lives being lost.
irans leadership is to crazy to have access to nukes and you know that well as anyone. death to America has been their motto for decades.
I personally hope Israel blows them off the face of the planet now that we took the nuclear threat away

I can’t help but wonder how Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would have handled this situation probably with another foot locker containing another 100 million dollars and a message saying now calm down boys and the money is all yours
They held hostages for a long time AND convinced OPEC to cut production of petroleum. This led to a shortage of gas and huge jumps in the price of gas. All well and good, or, bad for us, but, WE caused the hatred by involving ourselves in the politics of a sovereign nation. An involvement that changed the fabric of lives in Iran. If they had been able to do that to us we would have flattened Iran.
Now, since Reagan resolved the embassy hostage crisis, what have they done to us? Did they cause another 9/11? Did they openly attack us? Sure, I’m sure that, overtly, they looked for ways to hurt us. After all, we embargoed their LEGAL money held by American banks. Wouldn’t we have done the same?
You, Dgraff, are under a false impression. First, Iran is a country with over 99 million people and, they may suffer from an all out war with us, but, they are fanatics. They will exact a heavy price in lives and costs. They are also very friendly with several other countries that want to bury us. North Korea has nuclear weapons. China has nuclear weapons. Russia has nuclear weapons. They can also strangle the world’s supply of oil. And for what?
I’ll tell you why. It’s because that Clown King wannabe we have leading our nation knows he’s losing it and needed something grand to capture traction. He doesn’t care how many lives, ours, and, yes, theirs, he ends or ruins.
And, you Sir, once again showed your CLEAR, CONCISE, understanding of the situation. God help us.
As far as the Ukraine is concerned, I don't like bullies. Russia, a part of Europe, invaded another European country. That's wrong, but, worse, I don't want American kids losing their lives in another European world war. If you can't understand that, so be it.
israel did not have any bunker busters or planes to haul them. we helped out a ally and eliminated a threat to us in the process. what part of that do you need translated?
a week on from Israel's initial and sudden missile attack on the country - Putin has now vowed to back Iran in any further warfare in the Middle East.
--------------------------------------- added after 13 hours
Watched the news again this morning and not one word about Putin backing Iran just more propaganda from our Jane Fonda of the site
Way to go @cat 52@
Based on recent reports,
Russia does not support Iran developing nuclear weapons.
Here's why and what Russia's stance entails:
Concerns about a nuclear arms race: Moscow fears that Iran developing an atomic bomb would trigger a nuclear arms race across the Middle East.
Emphasis on peaceful nuclear development: Russia has reiterated its backing for Iran's right to peaceful nuclear development.
Role in nuclear negotiations: Russia was involved in the 2015 Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Willingness to remove enriched uranium: Russia has stated it is ready to remove highly enriched uranium from Iran and convert it into civilian reactor fuel as a potential way to calm the crisis.
Condemnation of strikes on Iran: Russia has condemned recent US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, viewing them as unprovoked aggression.
Limited concrete support: Despite its strategic partnership with Iran, Russia has offered limited concrete support following recent strikes, prioritizing its own interests like avoiding escalation and maintaining ties with other global powers.
i don't remember hearing them say it. but i do remember iran saying it,for a long time.
The time to stop it is now not after the nuclear war head is pointing at us
hate is like cancer, it spreads. and the more weapons it has, the easier the spread.
"Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire" "
could it be that simply standing up to a bully might deescalate things a bit?

i couldn't find the post that skittles was on explaining how shitty california has become so i just put this here.
a once great state has gone to hell in a hand basket.
lex luthor had a great idea,damn it superman why did you stop him?
Here's a more detailed look:
Economic Success: GOOD
Global Economic Powerhouse:
California's economy is the largest in the United States and, if it were a country, would be the fourth largest in the world.
Innovation and Technology:
California is home to Silicon Valley, a global center for technology and innovation, and a large number of Fortune 500 companies.
Diverse Industries:
California excels in various sectors, including agriculture, entertainment, and high-tech manufacturing.
Leading in Business:
The state has the most companies on the Fortune 500 list and is a leader in new business starts and venture capital funding.
Challenges:
High Cost of Living: NOT GOOD
California has a very high cost of living, particularly in major metropolitan areas, which can lead to housing affordability issues and challenges for low-income residents.
Income Inequality: NOT GOOD
Despite its economic success, California also has a significant gap between high and low earners, with some regions experiencing high rates of poverty.
Poverty: NOT GOOD
While the state has a strong economy, it also faces challenges related to poverty and access to basic needs like nutrition and healthcare.
Climate Change:
California is facing increased threats from climate change, including droughts, wildfires, and extreme weather events.
Overall:
California's success is multi-faceted, with strong economic indicators and a leading role in innovation and various industries. However, it also faces significant challenges related to affordability, inequality, and climate change, which require ongoing attention and solutions.
What do we have? Overall, California is a great state. Yes, it does have its problems. In particular, in its big cities, but, name one state that doesn’t have these problems in some form.
But, let’s be real, the main beef with California is that it’s SO LIBERAL. If you take a state like Ohio, a state that is very mundane, conservatives will rave over it. Why? Because it follows most of the conservative dogma that the right want for ALL to follow.
