 | Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems. |

the "Ten Commandments" in every classroom
only registered users can see external links
Texas has indeed passed a law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed
in all public school classrooms, a clear infringement on the First Amendment.
For any teacher who doesn't like this, and hates Trump, post the next topic under it:
Trump vs. The Ten Commandments
1. “You shall have no other gods before Me”
• Trump elevates himself to a godlike, messianic figure among supporters.
2. “You shall not make for yourself an idol”
• He has fostered a cult of personality—golden statues, idol-like brand loyalty.
3. “You shall not take the Lord's name in vain”
• Frequently uses blasphemous language like “goddamn,” even in Christian settings.
4. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”
• Rare church attendance; consistent golf outings symbolizing secular “rest”.
5. “Honor your father and your mother”
• Critics cite ongoing disrespect toward both parents indirectly through broader behavior.
6. “You shall not murder”
• While never having personally killed anyone, he’s been linked to violent rhetoric, encouragement of police brutality, and handling of crises like COVID-19 and January 6 that contributed to deaths.
7. “You shall not commit adultery”
• Well-documented extramarital affairs, including reported encounters while his wife was pregnant.
8. “You shall not steal”
• Accusations include Trump University, charity fraud, civil fraud judgments, withheld payments, and handling of classified documents post-presidency.
9. “You shall not bear false witness”
• Numerous fact-checks cite tens of thousands of false or misleading statements made during and after his presidency.
10. “You shall not covet”
• Covets power, wealth, admiration, and even models authoritarian dictators; treats relationships as transactional.
Act like a good Christian and resist this blasphemer anyway you can.
1 thing you seem to forget, Christians are supposed to forgive. and by the way, the Bible mentions many sinners who committed the same acts as Trump is always accused of to do work of God.
a google result
The Bible contains numerous examples of individuals whom God used despite their past or present sins. Some prominent examples include David, a king who committed adultery and murder but was forgiven and is considered a man after God's own heart, and the Apostle Paul, who initially persecuted Christians before becoming a key figure in spreading the Christian faith. Other examples include Rahab, a prostitute who helped the Israelites, and Moses, who had a speech impediment and killed an Egyptian.
Examples of Sinners Used by God:
David:
A shepherd boy who became a great king, but also committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband killed. Despite these sins, he is considered a man after God's own heart and a key figure in the lineage of Jesus.
Paul:
Originally named Saul, he was a persecutor of Christians before his conversion and became a leading apostle. He even referred to himself as the "chief of sinners" in one of his letters according to the Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.
Rahab:
A Canaanite woman who was a prostitute but sheltered two Israelite spies, and her faith led to her and her family being spared when Jericho was conquered.
Moses:
Chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses had a speech impediment and killed an Egyptian in anger.
Samson:
A judge of Israel known for his incredible strength, but also struggled with lust and anger.
Gideon:
God called him to lead the Israelites against the Midianites, but he was initially fearful and unsure.
Why God Uses Sinners:
To demonstrate God's grace:
God's willingness to use flawed individuals highlights the power of His grace and mercy.
To dismantle human pride:
By using those considered "unlikely" or flawed, God shows that success comes from Him, not human ability.
To show that no one is beyond redemption:
The stories of these individuals offer hope and demonstrate that God can work through anyone, regardless of their past.
To fulfill His purposes:
God uses all kinds of people, including those who are broken, insignificant, or have made mistakes, to accomplish His will.
the worst criminal asshole to represent you in politics.
They also forgive when the sinner repents. Trump doesn't repent, he doubles down.
He's still the same greedy, lying, hate-filled scumbag, he has always been.
What did those sinners, who God picked to do his work, DO?
Did they break their land's laws, steal food from the hungry,
steal healthcare from the sick, to further enrich the wealthy?
Is that 'God's work'?
Is it God's work, to kidnap the immigrants and put them in concentration camps?
Explain to me what part of what Trump is doing is God's work.
Trump is doing the exact opposite of EVERYTHING JESUS STANDS FOR.
If the devil chooses people to do his job, that would clearly be Trump.
"Gott mit uns" was inscribed on the belt buckles of the NAZI Wehrmacht.
You are abusing God's name in exactly the same way.
Matthew 25 (NIV):
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
- Care for the hungry/thirsty
- Clothe the poor
- Care for the sick
- Providing mental care to prisoners
- Inviting strangers in
- Treating everyone as brothers and sisters
That's doing the lord's work. Trump does the exact opposite.
Is that what Jesus supported as an ideology?
I'm an Atheist from birth. I still went to Christian schools, until 15 years of age.
I know Jesus' teachings. Forcing religion down people's throat, wasn't it.
Mark Twain once wrote "There are 2 important days in your life. One is being born. The other is finally figuring out the reason you are here" The desire of understanding the true nature of existence and how you fit into this.
As an athiest such as yourself we all developed naturally from star stuff. Nothing else exists.
I figured out the reason I am here; my parents wanted a child. Simple!
I recognize that desire. I think understanding the true nature of existence requires an open mind. That doesn't mean opening my mind to anything or anyone specifically,
I open it to what makes the most sense to me, using logical reasoning, which I’m constantly trying to train myself in. I opened my mind to many religious leaders
and apologists, they just failed spectacularly at making sense.
I'm very confident that we all developed naturally from star stuff.
There is good evidence of that.
I'm NOT confident in saying "Nothing else exists". It's impossible to prove that.
There could be a universe creating spaghetti-monster, I just see no evidence of that.
I'm not the type of Atheist that believes there is no god, I'm the type that doesn't believe there is one. That sounds the same, but it's a significant difference.
I don't believe that there is creator with a character as described in some old book, filled with factual errors and questionable morality, and if you don't believe that, you will be tortured for eternity. I could even say that that I believe there is NOT ONE of those. Reality would be totally different with such a monster in control.
All of God's creations- Earth, water, fire, Air.. Each attribute all of us possess in one form or another and need all 4 elements for survival not just for our species but for all of his creations.
The one element I haven't mentioned for our survival is the concept of time. When time started we can only speculate in our narrow field of understanding but without time we do not exist.
To me religion is nothing more than a political agenda that uses fear of damnation into conforming to its rules therefore gaining power by brainwashing with propaganda. Not going into it deeper.
Religion is one thing that is artificial. Understanding the true nature of existence? NOW we are getting somewhere..Mark Twain made a statement of truth. He did used experiences in the physical world where we are now, but for a brief instant he reached out into the spiritual world involving faith.
It's just my reason to not believe in them.
There is no evidence for pixies, unicorns, big-foot, or dragons either,
so I also see no reason to believe in those.
If God only exists in our hearts, compassion, wisdom, and faith, then is that still God, the creator of the universe, who sent his son to Earth to sacrifice himself
for our sins? What should I believe then?
No reason for any of the holy books, they got it all wrong.
Science has progressed beyond the 4 elements. There is a whole periodic table, and we understand fire to be a chemical reaction. It's all necessary for life, I agree, but where is the creator who made it all?
Is He (Gods preferred pronoun) watching, so we don't play with our pee-pee?
What you think of religion is what I agree it is for a big part now.
It used to be an effort of primitive humans to make sense of it all.
I'm not saying we do understand everything now, but all those religions have proven to be nothing more. I's not nonsense, but it's obsolete.
Powerful people have just seen how it can be used as a tool to hang on to power.
I would like to understand the true nature of existence, but I prefer not knowing everything, over filling the gap in my knowledge with unsubstantiated ideas,
to make me feel fulfilled. Honestly, if there is good reason for accepting the existence of anything supernatural, that would be incredibly interesting to me.
I just don't DO faith. Why would I want to deceive myself?
Another tool for understanding judicial knowledge is knowing when to express and when to listen. Liberals in general do more chatter creating noise when the right thing to do in that instant is to listen.
Have you ever heard the saying:
"The fools chatter while the wise man listens"? I believe they do know the truth deep down but it is diverted not by finding truth or solution, but to maintain power. The today liberal in this country uses race cards. Democrats always have expressing distain for white american middle class...They always have.
. Conservative democracy vs communist state of control using power and propaganda platform. They don't care anything about the truth. Propaganda is put out brainwashing vulnerable people including children in order to maintain power not by just "doing the right thing". Race cards, opening the border and cheating in the elections is what gave them power.. The pide piper is coming to collect... ..
You're talking to a guy who thinks that science and logic are the only possibility to approach truth. Being creative might produce art, or a good solution to a problem, but truth is reality. Religion has a whole different definition of truth, which I consider to be useless. To me, there is not even a relationship between truth and morality.
You don't have to say anything about Jesus or God, we both know what the general beliefs are. I just think that the God as presented in the Bible, is completely incompatible with a God that only lives only in our hearths or through faith. In any case, I see no reason to believe in either one. Both provide me nothing to make me understand the reality of existence any better.
For understanding politics, there is no deep understanding of truth needed. We are not dealing with highly complex people here. They have primitive desires of power and money, mixed with a tiny bit of ideology. Mostly they just picked a side, in which they invest themselves to make a career. Meanwhile, they are trading stocks with insider knowledge, and many have companies that they can give an unfair advantage with their position. The large majority of them are nepo babies, who never did a day of honest work in their lives, but they have very outspoken ideas about everyone who busts his ass every day.
When we consider liberals vs MAGA, the idea that liberals in general do more chatter, create more noise and don't listen, is a very funny joke to me. They don't listen, they tell people what to think. And when they do, they think that MAGA represents them.
Now, I do agree that most of your liberals are awful and weak, with only a few exceptions, but to me MAGA is an ignorant, racist, death-cult. Every principle that conservatives have ever vocalized, was dropped for Trump: Family values, Law and order, Fiscal responsibility, Small government, Free markets, Personal responsibility, Respect for institutions, Patriotism grounded in civic duty, International leadership, Civility in discourse. What remains is only loyalty to Trump. That is NOT democracy.
I asked you before, what Trump could do to make you regret your support.
Really that boils down to, what principles has he not betrayed yet, that you hold dear? Or is it not about principles but about actions for you? Maybe even not that, but you are just looking around, asking yourself: "Am I better off now, than before Trump came into office"?
I know exactly what I want my representatives to do, because my party has very specific principles and goals. Other than that, I want them to be honest and outstanding citizens. Betray any of it, and they lose my support immediately.
Can you say the same?
To describe faith to me in words you can't put down in words. What I do know is that 5785 years ago in a villiage known as UR in the land currently occupied by Iraq a man known as Abraham was born Abraham originally Abram is the common Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam..
Well what do you know about that? All 3 orchestrated one religion. Yet 2 of them diverted into what we now know as political parties.
The art of politics if you want to call it that is designed to divert from the truth in order to gain power. Abraham's parents were Terah and Amathlai. This is when Torah started although it is said in history Moses wrote Torah bu way of receiving the 10 commandments and converted them into text around 1299 BC from the God of Abraham.
So if this is true then how did Jesus Christ who was a prophet and scholar of Torah be the son of God? In Torah there is not just one messiah but rather all of God's creations are,,, air water, fire, earth. not everything of torah is mentioned,,, then it changes course with Jesus Christ being the son of God.. In short the one pure truth of existentialism-- the study of pantheism should be interesting and I consider with credentials..
For you to say MAGA is a death-cult trying to be objective as I can I don't see any path whatsoever that leads to your conclusion.. It's like the devil saying you're the devil..
I never discussed democracy with you on its meanings. All I was saying is that if you have a group of people who are egoistic and uneducated cannot form democracy. I did not go into that part because I understand materialism and logic is the tools you use in order to find your conslusions so it's futile of me attempting to debate this with you.
Yes the sovereignty of the United states is preserved with Trump in office. I go by prices of fuel and at the grocery store. Keeping men out of men's sports and not aborting babies up until the day of birth I agree..Also he greatly diluted inflation from 9% down to below 2% based on the value of our currency. He has never lied to us. of course you say he did but from day one I built a bond with trust. What he did wrong in the fist term was choose his inexperience in picking his cabinet including the FBI and DOJ unwisely. His attorny general was weak .. He did NOT fufil his promises well not all of them in the first term but I consider it was not his fault/ he made the choice of not filing charges of Hilliary Clintion and that lead to the phony russian collusion dossier that cost the taxpayer billions and quite possibly the 2020 election... His cabinet betrayed him especially the day after the 2020 election.. So there is a difference between promising something and because of mitigation unable to accomplish goals. circumstances unable to fufil.. I forgave him immeediately. This time his power continues to get stronger with his approval ratings going up every day. The democrates are out of ideas and are abandoning their posts. They AWOL'd texas and paid the price of losing 5 to 20 seats automatically.. He has executive power but because of blunders his opposition continues to do he's solid in Judicial with the supreme court, executive and now legislative. They will follow through with prosecutions once Pam Bondi is prepared to bring her evidence infront of the grand jury which by the way is in the Red state of Florida.
“What I do understand about how you feel that logic and materialism defines justice. Nothing more or less.”
A strange way to put it. How I define justice is purely based on how I want humans to interact with each other, because I’m part of that interaction.
It requires logic to formulate principles and laws from that basis. You can call that “materialism” if you want, because it’s definitely not based on anything supernatural.
Thinking that logic is limited to mathematics is 1 dimensional. There is logic to everything in the universe.
If there was a creator, would he/she/it/they be logical? If an illogical creator would create a universe, would it be a logical universe?
“You believe materialism defines justice.” NO, as I said, my preferences for human interaction defines what I consider justice. A universe without life is materialistic, but has no justice. Without thinking beings, justice doesn't exist. I'm not saying that universe would be IMmoral, I'm saying it would be Amoral.
“Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Revenge to you means justice..” Absolutely NOT! That’s a right-wing principle, I’m a far left, democratic socialist, social-liberal. Justice is based on intent and circumstances, as well as result.
“Every single word I say has its value exactly how its said word by word”
Yeah sure, make some actual sense first, before calling yourself a “stable genius”.
I can describe ‘faith’ in words: "Faith is the excuse people give when they're either unaware of the reason for their belief, unable to articulate the reason for their belief or unwilling to subject the belief and its supposed justifications to critical examination".
The devil? Do you actually believe in the devil, as an entity, or just as a concept of evil? I would say that there is a whole lot more evidence of the devil, than for a god. Here’s an idea, maybe the devil invented religion. That could be a concept that I could convince myself is true.
To understand why I call MAGA a death-cult, we first have to agree what a cult is. This is the definition: “A system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.”. I call MAGA the cult of Trump, because the support of his followers is mostly based on his character, not on his political principles and plans, mostly because Trump doesn’t clearly communicate any principles or plans. Whatever he says, MAGA will like it, even if it’s the opposite of something he said before. No matter how hateful he behaves, MAGA will cheer for it. No matter how stupid he incriminates himself, with his own words, MAGA will deny it. No matter how high inflation will go up, or how expensive groceries will become, MAGA will both blame Biden and understand Trump caused it, but it was necessary. Even if Trump is going to openly say that he’s pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, so she will be silent about him, but will accuse Democrats, MAGA is going to support it. Whatever Trump says, MAGA will parrot it. MAGA will disown and unfriend anyone who disagrees with them. Former MAGA who cannot take the bullshit anymore, turn into enemies immediately. THAT’S A CULT.
Why is it a death-cult, because of the hate and violence. Thousands of MAGA were willing to attack ‘the blue’ for him. They were prepared to kill and die for him, if Trump had even hinted at doing so.
There is truth to your idea that democracy requires eeducated voters. That’s why education is one of my highest priorities. I want it to be of the highest quality, affordable for everyone, teaching science and critical thinking skills. MAGA wants to gut education and turn schools into Christo-fascist training camps. Beside just enough English and calculus to be good working drones, MAGA wants children to grow up to soldiers for the dictator.
Do you want sovereignty? Sovereignty just means “the power of a country to control its own government”. When did you not have that ever in the past. Then, I saw Elon Musk control the government, without any control or oversight. You lot just trusted it would be OK.
“Keeping men out of men's sports” Sure, bud!
“not aborting babies up until the day of birth” which doesn’t happen, and no one supports, unless the fetus died.
Your numbers on inflation are bullshit. That’s you lying, for Trump. The value of the dollar has been weakening against a range of other major currencies in 2025. In any case, you’re correct that he has filled his administration with absolute sycophants. In his first administration he picked some people who could think for themselves, big mistake. His cabinet betrayed him, because he was a fucking traitor, and they either still had some principles or they were just not ready to sacrifice their nice comfortable life for him. They were obviously not CULTISH enough for you.
I agree that the Democrats haven’t been visible enough, but them leaving Texas is in PROTEST over Republicans planning to stack the next election in their favor. It’s something. I want them to throw a fucking scene every fucking day, but at least they did something. Yes, he does have “executive power” and he using it constantly for everything, while calling everything an emergency. Your side accused Obama of abusing his “executive power”, but now that Trump is doing nothing but, you love it. Oh yeah, when will Pam Bondi be “prepared” to bring her evidence? When she is done preparing your brains to consider a blank page with word evidence on it, evidence.
Since you think there is any ‘truth’ besides what is logical and supported by evidence, your brain is capable of believing everything that you want to believe. You said it clearly, to find truth, you need to be creative.
Can you explain what the difference is with making up shit, and then convincing yourself that it’s true?
When you have explained that, can you tell me how that ‘truth’ helps you to understand justice?
How about I convince myself of the ‘truth’ that the devil created religion? Creative enough? Will it help me understand justice?
You are taking my words and spinning them. You appear to be intelligent but you show evidsence od being ignorant and judgemental, stubborn and unpersuated. You are very skilled when it comes to divergence. I do believe you know the truth but you continue to divert from it. This is politics.
As I have said before,, politics and religion are synomous. Their purpose insisting on conformity is extreme either using hatred or terror. They create smoke screens with abuse of platorms then use that to perform abuse of power.
Piety, Justice, moral clarity, simplicity. The only way of understanding what is real,,,,,,,, and what is NOT real.
You've said you are athiest, and you spread hate for groups of people that voted for a man 93 million fold and you say this group in of a cult...Its fine, but I disagree and there is no evidence that shows these people are controlled by evil.. I call it choice. They made their choice and I made my choice.. You've made your choice. It is what it is.
My questions in life are not "how do I gain power and money"? My questions are "what do I have to do in order to learn from my experiences the right way in order to being a better person? The answers I'm getting over and over is to make things simple.
I said inflation has diminished from 9% down to below 2%, You said is bullshit.. No its not bullshit,,, as they say in ragged terms,,, I shit you not..
"Socrates' philosophy revolved around the concept of virtue as knowledge and the importance of self-examination to live a good life." OK, to say that your constitution is based on that is not wrong, but there's many steps in between, of which liberalism is one of the last.
Give some actual examples of me spinning your words.
At least I'm reacting to your claims. Are you reacting to mine?
If you call me ignorant, show me what FACTS I'm ignorant about.
You cannot call me ignorant for not understanding you. You are not a subject of general knowledge.
Judgemental, stubborn? Maybe. You could change my mind though. I just don't respond to persuasion. I only respond to logical argumentation, based on facts and principles that I either already agree with or you can convince me of.
I am indeed very much unpersuaded.
Piety? I don't give a fuck about it.
"Justice, moral clarity, simplicity" are the end result of a logical process, not the beginning. We can have a discussion on what results in justice or moral clarity, but just claiming to have it, that's ignorant, judgemental and stubborn. Simplicity is the enemy of nuance.
How is me being atheist related to not liking Trump voters?
You call that spreading hate? Show me that it's WRONG!
YOU ARE my evidence! Most of what I accused MAGA of, applies to you.
I'm not saying that you or most Trump voters are bad, but you follow a bad man, and you parrot his lies. Inflation in the US was at 3.0% in January 2025, it is now at 2.7%. It has not been below 2% since 2019. The annual inflation rate fell below 9% in July 2022, and kept going down, until Trump reversed the trend. Without any context, inflation rates are completely useless. Sure, 9% is too high. What caused it? Why did it go down again? You just spout some numbers and think it makes any sense. That's not giving an appearance of intelligence.
Politics shouldn't be about grabbing power and using religion to your advantage. If that is your observation of the US, you do not live in a democracy. Politics should be the process of representing the principles and wishes of their constituents, working towards the promises they made to them and working to implement the plans they communicated with them, before the election. I want them to do that transparently and enthusiastically. I don't like them to use dirty tricks, but I do want them to do their absolute best, while we, their constituents, support them with peaceful activism. That's what I get from my party, every single day.
If you don't see that from Trump or his party, why do you support them?
I agree, a life based on gaining power and money, is hollow and selfish.
If that is your life goal, you will never be fulfilled. It will never be enough.
Knowledge is a good life goal, but it is also hollow and selfish, unless you use it for something good. Now here is the real question: what does it mean to do good?
I don't agree that making things simple is the method for learning from your experiences. The world is NOT simple. To understand the world, requires understanding lots of complex patterns. It requires knowledge on lots of subjects. It requires a brain full of "thinking tools". If your brain only has
a hammer, everything you see is nails.

Therefore the constitution was written based on platonic socratic philosophy in terms how the country can unite in order to perform a more perfect union..
Here are several sources that agree with me. Now show me yours.

Some do mention Plato, but there's millennia of philosophy developing liberalism, which is the source of The Constitution, that you're just sweeping aside.
Are you telling me that there was no liberalism before the Democratic party?
The early Republicans could be described as more “liberal” than early Democrats.
Are you just one of those idiots who call Democrats "liberals, socialists, communists, Marxists", without understanding the huge differences between those 4 ideologies? Is that the basis of your understanding of the term "liberalism"?
It's not my problem, if you don't understand what liberalism is.
It's not hard to find. Wiki will tell you: "Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property, and equality before the law."
"Liberalism's origins can be traced back to the Enlightenment era, with its roots in the intellectual and political shifts of the 17th and 18th centuries. It emerged as a distinct ideology challenging traditional forms of authority, particularly absolute monarchy and the established church, emphasizing individual liberty, limited government, and free markets."
"The concept of liberal democracy, as it is understood today, developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with the American and French Revolutions playing a key role in its emergence. While the term "liberal democracy" itself wasn't coined until the mid-1860s in France, the ideas and principles that define it took root earlier."
Meanwhile, you are calling "politics and religion are synomous". Where is the "enlightenment" part. You are turning back the clock hundreds of years.
When you say: "politics and religion are synomous", why are you surprised that I call MAGA a cult? The thinking behind that statement is exactly what I'm pointing out as the problem. They are synomous TO YOU, not to me.
You can use different terms but has the same idea. Everything to democrats do is to promote anti-constitution format to bring back socialism.
You need to go back and study,,Politics and religion are synomous because they invoke propaganda.
Whether you understand or not is not my proplem either.
My conclusions are what they are with methods you do not understand because they involve faith, stoicism realizing the only way we are going to survive and grow is with our pledge of allegence to our flag "One nation, under God indivisable with liberty and justice for all. Not just the ones that can afford high priced lawyers.
What did the Democrats do that is unconstitutional? Which parts?
Bring back socialism? The US never had it.
The Democrats don't support socialism. When they had the power
to nationalize healthcare, they created a private system of health insurances, not even a public option. They also didn't expand public education. They have not supported any socialist policy, in decades, except for a small minority of Democrats. The rest are corporate shills.
You insult me by calling them socialists.
A Stoic wouldn't vote for Trump. A stoic values self-control.
Trump explodes into madness every dingle day.
Just because both politics and religion use propaganda, doesn't mean they are synonymous, it just means that they share a characteristic. Politics is the proces of making collective decisions. You cannot organize a country without it. However, I want religion as far away as possible from making collective decisions, to organize the country. You calling them synonymous is in direct conflict with your First Amendment.
What does "liberty" mean to you? Does it mean that your vote counts just as much as the vote of a black man, in a black county, in Texas?
"liberty and justice for all"? How about for ICE detainees?
Ok, so everyone thinks I'm stupid so lets analyze this.. Since 2015 why have I been right on every single thing the democrats have persecuted this man only to find out it was a hoax? A political takedown. To bankrupt him, and to murder him. I am not so smart but intelligence has nothing to do with it. Not ONE time have I ever been wrong with Donald Trump being the greatest leader I have ever seen in my life.
So with that said, I have proven this to you yet you ignore my assertions of who is right and who is wrong, what is true. I can give the evidence right in front of your face and you'd still ask where is the evidence? No evidence.
I'm not upset with you personally. Trump derrangement syndrom is impenitrable, Whether you believe me or not I'm still going to preach the truth even if this entire sight says I'm wrong or stupid or fascist.. Whatever anyother names you want to call me. My whole family said he is a money grubbing liar, cheat, crook.. I had the courage to stand up to all of them and to you by saying. NO YOU ARE ALL WRONG.
Now 9 years since I stood up to ignorance over 80 million americans believed me finally.. Billions of others sitting in their homes feeling secure knowing he has stopped 3 wars and is just about to stop a 4th. Russians posted on youtube sharing their happiness and feeling proud of americans that have made the biggest choice in its history. Afterall, Putin risked being arrested as a war criminal in Alaska meeting with Trump. He even refused to even talk to Biden at all. Yet he went out of his way to come to Alaska and warmly invited this man I am so proud of to represent the united states traveling to Russia in token of friendship and partners in business. Russia needs some of our resources and we need some of theirs. The tariffs will remain in place as long as they charge us tariffs. America really can survive without trading since its land has more oil than canada and the middle east. We are in no hurry but its now time we stopped wiping europe's ass with taxpayer funds paying for their education or healthcare... Its over !
"Plato’s writings, including anything that might be called a “book of Socratic law”, were not a direct, primary inspiration for the U.S. Constitution in the way that, say, John Locke’s "Two Treatises of Government" or Montesquieu’s
"The Spirit of Laws" were."
"John Locke is widely considered one of the foundational figures of liberalism."
"Montesquieu is often considered a father of liberalism. His ideas, especially on the separation of powers (trias politica) and the fight against despotism, have had a significant influence on the development of liberal thought."
Some experts, officials, and members of Congress contended that Clinton's use of a private email system and a private server violated federal law, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 1924, regarding the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or materials, as well as State Department protocols and procedures, and regulations governing recordkeeping. Clinton claimed that her use complied with federal laws and State Department regulations, and that former secretaries of state had also maintained personal email accounts (however Clinton was the only secretary of state to use a private server)
Something like the above paragraph shows probable cause, the fact that she admitted to keep classified documents on her server and when served with a subpoena she immediately destroyed her cell phones and acid washed her server destroying the evidence of over 33000 emails leaving them untracable.
It is in conclusion that she kept classified documents on her server providing information to sell for a price. This is called treason.
Liberals of this country say Donald Trump committed felonies and is a criminal. Then how could he have run for president since a felon cannot run for office yet get elected?
Are you starting to see patterns? 78 million people knew it was a political takedown supporting a candidate that didn't even win 1 delegate in the primary election including myself.
Why do I see it differently than liberals? I get information by listening and through empathic means go into a persons heart through reason and understanding their sincerity or lack of. AFTER Trump won the 2016 election rather than trying to unify bringing the american people together as a nation she purposely divided a nation with the leadership of Obama recruiting the CIA, FBI and the MEDIA to bring down a duely elected American President by underminding the american people.
You can say there is no evidence especially before the 2024 election but now after classified documents were unclassified and shared with the world its kind of heard to convince people this movement is baseless anymore.
I'm willing to spend the time on it, but I'm not accepting this as a one-sided thing.
It's time to go to bed, right now for me.

I asked ChatGPT. It bases all the information on publicly available legal records, which you and I can easily check. I'm sure you will accuse ChatGPT of a bias, so, it's your job to make a case what's the bias here.
Here’s a compact, fact-checked “starter” dossier focused only on alleged crimes tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election (federal + key state cases). It’s trimmed for quick review; if you want the longer, fully itemized version, say the word and I’ll expand it.
Alleged laws broken (what they are + how prosecutors say they were violated)
1. Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. §371)
Prosecutors allege a multi-state scheme to use knowingly false fraud claims, fake elector certificates, and pressure on officials to block the lawful counting of electoral votes. (justice.gov, Congress.gov)
2. Obstruction of an official proceeding & conspiracy to obstruct (18 U.S.C. §1512(c)(2), §1512(k))
Alleged efforts to halt/impair Congress’s Jan. 6, 2021 Electoral College certification via false elector slates and pressure on the Vice President. (justice.gov, Congress.gov)
3. Conspiracy against rights (interference with the right to vote and have one’s vote counted) (18 U.S.C. §241)
Prosecutors say the scheme aimed to discard/alter lawful votes and the certified results. (justice.gov)
4. Georgia RICO (O.C.G.A. §16-14-4) + related Georgia offenses (solicitation to violate oath, false statements, filing false documents, computer crimes tied to Coffee County breach)
A charged enterprise to overturn Georgia’s results through pressure, false statements, fake elector paperwork, and accessing election systems. (Some co-defendants have pled guilty to lesser counts.) (fultonclerk.org, Wikipedia)
5. State “fake elector” crimes (examples)
o Arizona: conspiracy, forgery, fraudulent schemes/practices linked to signing and submitting false elector certificates (Trump listed as “Unindicted Coconspirator 1”). (azag.gov, AZ Luminaria)
o Nevada: offering a false instrument for filing; uttering a forged instrument, for submitting false elector certificates. (ag.nv.gov)
o Michigan: forgery/uttering-and-publishing/false documents by those who signed and transmitted fake elector certificates. (michigan.gov, States United Democracy Center)
Status note: These are allegations unless otherwise noted; some defendants have entered guilty pleas in Georgia to misdemeanor offenses connected to the broader scheme. (Wikipedia)

at least with a religion in place, there was some law and order so to speak, folks were taught not to kill,not to steal,not to steal each others wives, without religion, there would be alot more of it even today.
you are suggesting arresting a world leader and putting a entire country in chaos i guess?
it will be nice to not have to sit in line for hours.
a freind took their grandmother to the hospital and it was 6 hour wait to get her in, turns out it was a heart attack, thankfully just sitting doing nothing didn't stress her to much and she made it. she just said she was hurting all over and they didn't get in no hurry. illegals go to the er for everything, as do those without health insurance because they know they will get some basic care. it burdens the system and folks that are diligent and have insurance have to wait.
on America's emergency rooms too. That doesn't justify the action though.

What makes electoral votes legitimate:
In U.S. presidential elections, electoral votes become legitimate when they’re cast and certified in accordance with federal and state law, and then accepted by Congress. The main steps are:
State Popular Vote Certification – Each state conducts its election, counts the votes, and certifies the results according to its own laws. This certification determines which slate of electors is appointed.
Electors Cast Votes – On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December (set by federal law), the chosen electors meet in their state capitals to cast one vote for president and one for vice president. These votes are recorded on official certificates.
Transmission of Certificates – The electors’ votes are sent to the Vice President (as President of the Senate), the National Archives, and other designated officials.
Congressional Count and Certification – On January 6 following the election, Congress meets in a joint session to count the electoral votes. Electoral votes are considered “legitimate” if they come from electors appointed in accordance with state law and the U.S. Constitution, and if no valid objection under the Electoral Count Reform Act is sustained.
Constitutional & Legal Requirements – Article II and the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, plus federal statutes like 3 U.S.C. §§ 1–21, establish the rules for appointing electors, casting votes, and resolving disputes. Only votes meeting these requirements are recognized.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s the Michigan story about those fake electors:
# Why they’re called “fake electors”
Because they were **not** the electors Michigan law certified. After the 2020 canvass, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued the official **Certificate of Ascertainment** naming the **Democratic slate** as Michigan’s duly chosen electors (Biden won the state). A separate Republican group then signed and sent papers **claiming they were the “duly elected and qualified Electors”** for Trump. That makes them “fake” (or “false”) relative to the only lawful slate. ([michigan.gov][1])
# Who called them “fake electors” first
The label showed up in media coverage right away—e.g., a **Dec. 15, 2020 Newsweek** headline: “Michigan Republicans Tried to Submit **Fake Electoral Votes** to Capitol.” Later, Michigan’s attorney general and the U.S. House Jan. 6 Committee also used “fake/false electors” in official materials. ([Newsweek][2], [GovInfo][3])
Trump allies and campaign officials referred to the individuals involved in the "fake electors" scheme as "fake electors" themselves. This term was used both internally among Trump’s team and externally in legal contexts.
Evidence of Internal Acknowledgment
Internal communications reveal that Trump campaign officials recognized the individuals as "fake electors." For instance, in Georgia, Robert Sinners, the Trump campaign’s state director for election day operations, emailed all Georgia fake electors on November 6, 2020, thanking them for agreeing to serve as Republican electors or alternates. He emphasized the need for discretion and secrecy, stating, "Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result – a win in Georgia for President Trump – but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion." This acknowledgment of their role as "electors" in the context of the scheme implies recognition of their status as "fake electors" in the broader plot to overturn the election results.
# How they falsified documents (what they did)
According to the Michigan AG’s investigator’s sworn **affidavit** and related testimony/evidence:
* **Met at Michigan GOP headquarters** on Dec. 14, 2020 (not in the Capitol where real electors meet) and **signed a “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Michigan,”** asserting they were Michigan’s **“duly elected and qualified”** electors and that they had convened in the **State Capitol** at 2:00 p.m. (they had not).
* **Tried to deliver** the envelope to the Michigan Senate at the Capitol that day and were **turned away by State Police**.
* **Mailed the signed documents** to federal and state officials; the **National Archives** and the **U.S. Senate** received a set postmarked for Jan. 5, 2021. The Senate’s former counsel testified a **fake Michigan Certificate of Votes** arrived and did not match the lawful certificate signed by the Governor. ([AP News][4])
The affidavit also notes two “**Certificates of Filling Vacancy**” were included, naming replacements for two Republicans who didn’t attend—another attempt to mirror the formal process.
# Why that’s a crime (the charges & statutes)
Michigan charged 16 signers in July 2023. The affidavit lays out the statutes:
* **Forgery** of a public record — **MCL 750.248**
* **Election-law forgery** — **MCL 168.933a**
* **Uttering and publishing** a forged document — **MCL 750.249**
* **Conspiracy** to commit the above — **MCL 750.157a**
Signing and transmitting documents **falsely claiming** to be Michigan’s duly elected electors and **falsely stating** they met at the Capitol are alleged violations of those laws. ([michigan.gov][1])
# The evidence, in brief
* The **signed false certificates** themselves (claiming “duly elected and qualified” status and a Capitol meeting).
* **Video/incident report** of the group attempting to enter the Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020 and being **denied entry**.
* **Mailing records** and the **National Archives/U.S. Senate** receipt of the false certificate (with return address linked to a signer). ([AP News][4])
* The **AG investigator’s sworn affidavit** summarizing the timeline, statutes, and basis for charges. ([michigan.gov][1])
* Additional public reporting and court coverage tracking the case and hearings. ([Michigan Advance][5], [pbs.org][6], [News From The States][7])
That’s why they’re widely referred to as “fake electors”: their papers tried to **replace** Michigan’s certified electoral votes with **unauthorized** ones.

Every time Trump speaks, he incriminates himself further,
while the red hatters shout "Obama!".
Look over there, while your president is showing everyone who he is!
And then you do as you're told. Pathetic!

You might not believe me, but I really do want to understand you.
Does the following video represent the reasons that you had?
only registered users can see external links
I'm glad you would like to understand me but I'm not a socialist, egoist or materialistic.
If you are athiest I believe you take away tremendous opportunity bettering oneself through piety and obtaining a common frame of reference. For example, leadership. taking risks for the love and compassion from yourself for another. Being a good father, mother, son, spouse. I believe logic is only the beginning. The joy of giving of yourself for the benifit of others.
Avoiding division and hatred as well as temptation which is the rule measuring the character of a man or woman. If the human race is going to survive it is my belief that if you mix logic with humility through each other then we have a chance. Otherwise as long as the United States remains divided our country will be destroyed. When there are nuclear warheads on the table as chips with the same egoistic desires it is only a matter of time before we destroy not only each other but every single organism on earth. The power of unity is the only way but there must be education with common morals and ethics for the people entailed or democracy will not work.
Education is an absolute MUST at all costs The ability to gain knowledge in order to love, compose through free will being students, teachers and passing our knowledge for the next generation. It needs to be available for everyone regardless of economic status.
If we gain wisdom to just be happy with what we have and share then there is a good chance.
They have investigated her up to wazoo. There was just nothing to find.
Your politicians are corrupt, so is Hillary, but most corruption is LEGAL.
Your right-wing supreme court justices have made it legal.
Trump has lied his pants off about Hillary. This was just a dub attack.
"I never said 'Lock her up!'" He's on video, saying it multiple times.
Still, if you find evidence that she's a criminal, go lock her up. Fine!
What about all the evidence on Trump? All fake, right?
You didn't see him break the law and lie about it, on every TV channel on Earth?
Trump: "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"
August 2022: Invoked the Fifth 400+ times; called not taking it a “fool’s” move.
Is the "tremendous opportunity bettering oneself through piety" just related to being
an atheist? Being Christian provides that opportunity pretty well too, looking at their behavior.
Even though your not a believer, as you say, the believers have still managed to make you believe lots of their nonsense. A third of my country is atheist, 58% is non-religious. Do you think all of them are not a good father, mother, son, spouse? My father is atheist and he has always been great to me and my brother. In your country, I don't see a whole lot of compassion. Your Christian nationalists don't have an ounce of compassion in their bodies.
My compassion comes from humanism, which is the only 'belief' I have. It's the proposition that people have human rights, like in your Constitution: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.". It has the 'Creator' in it, but that doesn't matter. That was just needed to get the believers in line.
The belief is simple: Humanity is served by humans accepting that everyone has human rights. No deity needed to enforce my behavior, by the threat of torture and the promise of heaven, because I care about the life I'm living NOW. I can only be happy, when there is happiness around me. I understand that other people are not that different from me. That's the basis for compassion. Simple, no need for a supernatural superstition.
If you're worried about humanity destroying everyone and everything, don't support "end-times fetishists" taking control of your government.
We don't need knowledge to love, it's in our biology. Only the teachings of dogma can destroy people's love and create hate. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you consider education important. Do you think that Republicans have ever supported education being available to all? Do you know what they're trying to do in Texas and other red states?
Your last line almost makes me believe you are a socialist. lolHowever, you say you're not and you added that you're not an egoist or materialistic. I have no reason to not believe you. But, why then did you vote for an materialistic egoist? The guy has a golden toilet and brags about being a billionaire. At his inauguration, the stage was filled with all of the worlds worst materialistic egoists.
"be happy with what we have and share" that's the exact opposite of Trump's attitude. Don't you think that social security, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP and school breakfasts/lunches are "sharing"? Do you know what Trump is doing to all of those programs?
Lots of people voted for Trump. I agree that the Democrats haven't given people very good reasons to vote for them. Would there be reasons to vote for them, when they show themselves to be the party for the working class?
What do you actually want from your government? Do you want them to back off and let capitalism solve it or do you want strong control of the economy?
How about social issues? Can gays marry? Can an adult get a trans operation?
Can women have an abortion? Should evolution be scrapped and creation be enforced in schools? Do you need more guns or gun control?
How about the rest of the world? Free trade competition or tariff each other to stop most trade? Should Gaza be cleared of Palestines? Should Putin be allowed to conquer Ukraine? Do you want a war with Iran?
Your sources of current events lack proper journalism. I'm not saying Trump is an angel. From a political perspective you can say what you want but when it comes to law then the path changes.
Nobody is throwing anyone out of gaza.On a conservative point of view if there is a question you have you need to find answers out for yourself not by hearing it from the mouth.. Trace it through then draw your own conclusions. You appear to be smart, well....
I don't care if you marry a donkey, horse. another man.
Nothing is stopping world trade. It's making it even trade.
In my last note I said the people of a nation need to be educated in order to form a more perfect union, from there you can develop democracy. Otherwise you will have division.
From moral standards I don't believe in abortion. However the law is what it is through majority, hence education.
Theoretically war should not exist.The best way is to take away their financial sponsorship.
Socialism , communism, politics.... Words.. its either right or wrong, but that is where piety takes control through moral standard.
Medicaid has been taking and stolen from the people that qualified and needed it for many decades and was abused by democrats giving out free money to blacks, hispanics and other non caucasion groups at the same time being dead last in education inside inner cities in exchange for power. Their standards have deviated from the constitution since growing from over 200 years ago. Medicade is being modified if you can prove you are mentally or physically disabled. Its being filtered so that the people that truely need it, get it.
gaza needs to be cleaned up of the terrorist, whoever they are, and their enablers, whoever they may be as well.
free trade,ananas, i am not sure you know what that means. if we in America let a country send it's stuff here without tarrifs, and if we send something over there and they want to charge a tarrif,that is not free trade.
free trade would mean no tarrifs, no extra cost from customs period. if a item is a dollar when it leaves china it would be a dollar here, and vice versa, until that is the case, there is no free trade.
if putin can show where ukraine was a a threat or becoming corrupt and a danger to the world, then yes, if not, then no.
don't want a war with iran, but i also don't want radical muslims that welcome death holding a nuke over my head as i sleep. you may enjoy the company but i don't
Capitalism is creating profit for the wealthy, with which they buy and then own 'stuff' (companies, houses, land, resources, intellectual property, etc). That ownership provides them the ability to make more profit. Follow me so far? However, they buy 'stuff' that other people need. To use that stuff, they need to pay the owner(s). There is only a limited amount of 'stuff' in the world. The wealthiest keep owning more and more of it, while the rest keeps owning less and less of it. The only economic rule that limits that transfer of ownership to the wealthy is TOTAL COLLAPSE.
Did you CHECK which countries had tariffs on the US?
Or are you just parroting Trump?
Why do you need Putin to show you? NATO was being a threat to him, obviously.
Can we now bomb countries that become corrupt? Seek cover then.
I saw the US attack Iran, I saw Israel attack Iran, and I saw Iran be modest.
Their leadership doesn't want their country to be destroyed. Simple!
It's not about that, you just want to be able to freely attack them.
That's why they want a nuke or several, so you can't anymore.
The biggest reason for why Muslims can't get rid of their dictators is the US. When people feel threatened they pick authoritarian leaders. YOU THREATEN THEM!
You know the feeling, you voted for Trump because you felt threatened. Am I wrong?

Waiting outside of a courtroom, where people are working on their legal status, that's a scummy thing to do. Attacking people without identifying yourself, that's a stupid thing to do. Considering every non-white person, who cannot identify themselves immediately,
an illegal immigrant, is against the Fourth Amendment. They are calling people gang members just because of some tattoo, that's also evil. They are criminals.
I agree that you don't want illegals in your country. However, you are just 'fixing' that by those methods. Is there even ONE employer who is in trouble for employing illegals? Right-wing employers are now crying on TV that all their employees were deported.
So they were illegally employing illegals. Why are those criminals not in jail?
Do you think not doing that fixes anything?
It will be TACO time again.

ice is getting smart,even learning from old days.
Again, when are they going to crack down on the criminal employers?
They are literally admitting to crimes in the media.
Half your employees have fled or are deported? Show me your books!
but you won't lift a finger against the ones who use them to cheapen your labor?
Should their punishment only be that they finally have to pay people an honest wage, after exploiting a problem for years?
You wouldn't have illegals, if no one employed them!
If you don't lift a finger against these crooks, they learn nothing, and will find a way
to do it again, as soon as possible. Your wall won't prevent that, they'll fly them in,
if they have to. If they can scam the working class, they don't give a damn about
the color of your skin, where you're born or if you have some papers.
Never again tell me about the TWO TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM! You support it.
the simple fact is the American people expect to high of a wage to be able to make a profit and that drives people to make rash decisions.
that is the real problem.
Would people then not let their roof done? Well, sleep in the rain then.
Meanwhile, all those roofers make more money, so they can go to a restaurant, that then also makes more money. Higher wages will increase some costs,
but they boost the economy.
I have ALWAYS supported equal justice. You're the one who doesn't want
to prosecute and punish criminals, because you like those criminals.
I only care about evidence and proportionality.
However, you can show me a hypocrite. Go ahead, present your case.
Mind the 'evidence and proportionality' though.
Do you know what drives people to make rash decisions?
Living in a country that has no jobs and is riddled with violence.
Still, you would punish people with life imprisonment for fleeing it.
this country is not riddled with violence and there are plenty of jobs, or we wouldn't have this illegal immigrant influx trying to steal these jobs. and they wouldn't feel any safer here than they did at home.
You are sending them to Alligator Auschwitz.
It's now rampant with diseases, that affect the guards too.
Because of the awful sanitary conditions, in the middle of a bug infested swamp,
before you accuse the illegals of carrying diseases again.
Those illegals are not stealing your jobs, the ones who employ them do.
Damn, your indoctrination is pushed down deep.
(I wasn't talking about the US, but the countries the immigrants come from)

why the hell did they even approve medicaid for someone making 3800 a month for anyway??? it is supposed to be for poor people. she had no dependents,
You can design checks and balances to minimize it, but there are always a few
who find ways to gain the system.
Your story mostly checks out. One thing that the story is (possibly intentionally) unclear about is the total amount Medicaid actually paid out on her behalf during that period.
She didn't buy the Lamborghini with Medicaid money, she just receive some unknown figure in Medicaid benefits, that she wasn't entitled to. She did actually earn the money that she bought that car with, by operating multiple businesses, that generated over
$9.5 million in revenue. Instead of being outraged that she got some Medicaid benefits, better care about her paying taxes. Rich people can scam on their taxes to gain the system many times harder, than what she could ever take from Medicaid.
You're correct that she didn't have a right to any Medicaid benefits, because she isn't poor, but calling her 'Medicaid millionaire' that's creating an incorrect perception. You probably fell for their trick too.
Who said her benefits were approved on a $3800 a month salary?
She probably declared an incorrect salary to the tax authorities.
She would be find out by the IRS eventually, unless you defund it to shit.
Louisiana adopted Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, so the limit for most non-disabled adults is 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
For 2025, the FPL for the 48 contiguous states is $15,060 per year for a single adult.
So 138% FPL = $20,783/year (≈ $1,732/month) for a single person.
Household examples:
2-person household: $28,207/year
3-person household: $35,630/year
4-person household: $43,054/year
Medicaid isn't charity, it's single payer healthcare. It would be the most efficient healthcare system, if everyone was on it.
By the way, she was CAUGHT, not by DOGE, but by state‐level investigators (LBI agents, part of the Attorney General’s office). She will probably be fined pretty severely.
Is this your argument that Medicaid should be destroyed?
What's the alternative? Everyone on private health insurance?

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. by the law firm Clare Locke, states that the Macrons attempted multiple times to engage Owens in dialogue and sent an official letter demanding retraction. Owens allegedly mocked the letter and continued making the claims to both U.S. and international audiences, which the lawsuit argues harmed the Macrons’ reputation worldwide.
The complaint describes Owens as deliberately dissecting the Macrons’ appearance, marriage, friends, family, and personal history to create a grotesque narrative that fueled relentless global bullying. It claims Owens knowingly spread falsehoods for personal fame and profit, particularly after leaving The Daily Wire and promoting her independent podcast. Owens’ large social media following — 6.9 million on X and 4.47 million on YouTube — amplified the harm.
The suit meticulously lists Owens’ statements, documents the Macrons’ attempts to stop them, and outlines the resulting damages, including harassment, public degradation, and harm to their standing as world leaders. It also highlights Owens’ personal financial gain from spreading the falsehoods, a key factor in defamation cases.
The case is being handled by Clare Locke, the same firm that secured the $800 million Dominion defamation settlement against Fox News. The Macrons themselves have previously won defamation suits, making them formidable plaintiffs in this case.
Good luck, Candace, you're going to need it.
it is funny it is a french person challenging this , i would have thought Big mike would have sued people by now about the videos of his bulge showing under the dress.
The claim of Candace Owens is that she has, or once had, a penis.
That's easy to DISprove, with one doctor's exam.
It's not politically expedient for the Obama's to engage in your stupidity, but it is for the Macrons. It's very good politics for the Macrons to destroy a horrible American grifter. Everyone in Europe would love to see it.
I'm sure that Ownens' lawyers will come up with lots of confusing nonsense,
like you are trying to do, but a judge deals in FACTS.
There is a lot to this case that could be difficult, but disproving the claim
of Candace Owens is the easiest part.
If Ownens' lawyers can't resist the opportunity to make this a spectacle around
the sex/gender debate, they will LOSE.
"Automatic 4% annual Medicare cuts starting in 2026 — driven by the statutory “PAYGO” rule, which enforces across-the-board reductions in response to the massive deficit increase.
Roughly $490 billion–$500 billion in cuts over the 2026–2034 period to Medicare spending.
The House Budget Committee also notes up to $535 billion in cumulative Medicare cuts during 2026–2034 ($45 billion in 2026 rising to $75 billion in 2034)"
The "massive deficit increase" is because of the big tax-cuts for the wealthy.
All the cuts are delayed, so you won't notice much, until Democrats are back in office.
Then Republicans can blame Democrats for your complete collapse of Medicare.
Exactly how they blamed Democrats for the high inflation that Trump caused by adding $8 trillion to your debt, which also all ended up in the pockets of the wealthy, eventually.
[When you pay companies to keep paying wages, that's a handout to the employers, not
the employees. When you pay people to be able to afford food and rent, that's a handout
to supermarkets and landlords, not to people. I remind you that it was a GLOBAL crisis
and that it's not an option to leave most working people without income, food and housing.
That would be a complete collapse of the country. You can chose to put that bill on the wealthy, or you can chose to compensate all the employers, supermarkets and landlords with tax-dollars. Trump of course chose the latter and that resulted in high inflation, which mostly hurt the working class. The working class is also the main tax-payer, so you're paying for it TWICE, to compensate for the debt. And now the working class is getting fucked over a THIRD time, because Trump promised the wealthy people more massive
tax-cults, so they would help him win/steal the election, which YOU have to pay for.]
for his win/steal. Trump only wanted to be president, so he could get out of jail
and continue enriching themself, on the tax-payer's credit.
Why does that look beautiful to you? YOU won't ever see a cent of those cuts.
It's literally socialism for the wealthy, reverse-RobinHood. You ain't wealthy!
You might be richer than most of your friends here, but this will hurt you too.
It's all worth it for you, as long as he hurts the brown people, isn't it?
But, you could try to be efficient. What do you think is wrong?
I could try to answer efficiently too, because reading isn't your thing either.
we also couldn't get any help to deal with the physical abuse she suffered by the staff, we would report it and it went unchecked.
it is fraud, now, take your brain and use it, if the nursing homes are leaving people needing trimmed nails ,that is abuse, criminal. then a nurse or supervisor signs off for a dr to do foot surgery, which he never did, that is fraud. the nurses trimmed the nails and got kick backs for signing the papers. this i know and it was all presented to medicare in dc, the reply was, " we don't have the staffing to enforce minor infractions. " i would send you pics of the paper work but it is locked in the safe and it would exspose to much private info.
You want to trade stories? My daughter's daughter, my first grandchild, is totally disabled. She needs constant care. She gets food through a tube in her stomach. As you can imagine, it has to be liquid AND have the whole nutritional value of regular people food. This formula comes from Germany. It costs $10,000/month. The special wheel chair she needs to support her spine cost over $5000 . The nurses and care tackers have to be paid at regular rates for specialized nurses. I don't even know how much that is. Her Dad couldn't take it and blew his brains out when she was 9. She turned 29 last July 1. Iv it wasn't for Medicaid she would be dead. So, Phart, lets compare notes.
more scrutiny when it comes to doling out taxpayer money is what is needed.
It's just not the billions that you say it is.
And Elon Musk and his gang haven't found ANY real fraud.
Where are all the lawsuits then, when he found ALL that fraud?
Your country already has audits of all your government agencies. They always find SOME waste, fraud and abuse, but where Elon was looking, those are some of the cleanest agencies you have.
In November 2022, the DoD failed its FIFTH consecutive audit, reportedly unable to account for 61% of its assets—amounting to roughly $2.1 trillion out of a $3.5 trillion total asset base.
It is 100% clear that there IS a lot of unaccounted money in your Department of Defense. Did Elon go there?
No, of course not, because Elon himself gets lots of money from the Department of Defense and he doesn't want any investigation on how he's spending that money.
Your social security system was audited in 2022 too:
SSA Financial Audits: “Unmodified Opinion”
The FY 2022 Agency Financial Report (AFR) marked the SSA’s 36th year producing audited financial statements and the 29th consecutive year receiving an unmodified opinion (meaning “clean” audit)
For Old‑Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) from FY 2015–2022, only 0.84% of total benefit payments were improper, though this still amounted to $71.8 billion.
How much are they cutting Social Security?
A 2021 SSA OASDI accuracy review found:
99.3% case accuracy for overpayments, and
98.3% case accuracy for underpayments.
Dollar accuracy rates were similarly high: 99.4% for overpayments and 98.5% for underpayments.
Administrative costs in 2023 were about 0.5% of total benefits paid (roughly $7.2 billion expense against $1.38 trillion payout)
Related to Medicaid and Medicare.
Medicaid: ~$81 billion in improper payments
Medicare: ~$31.7 billion in improper payments
How much are they cutting again?
When you want to make systems more efficient, that takes a lot of effort.
You cannot just CUT waste fraud and abuse. That's primitive thinking.
and convictions? Do they let all those fraudsters just walk away?
Why is your administration not providing any evidence of fraud?
I've only seen some records that Elon posted, which were debunked in a day.
It only shows that Elon criminally intercepted contract approved payments.
He should be indicted for that, but of course he is protected.
The ones who protect Elon have all the reason to prosecute the fraudsters.
They fact that they are not doing that shows that it's ALL a lie.
ChatGPT: "Did DOGE find actual fraud, that is now getting indicted?"
🚨 Short Answer
No, as of now, DOGE has not uncovered documented fraud that resulted in criminal indictments. Despite its bold claims, investigative reporting and expert analysis suggest no verified cases where DOGE’s actions led to charges.
🗂️ What DOGE Claimed
DOGE promoted findings of “billions” in fraud, waste, and abuse, targeting government programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and IRS spending.
Their website tracked substantial savings—though many were later corrected or removed after journalists flagged errors.
DOGE also initiated an investigation into the SEC, calling for public input on alleged misconduct in the regulatory body.
🔍 Independent Reviews & Critiques
Independent audits have found that many DOGE “savings” claims were either grossly exaggerated or incorrect (like an $8 billion claim later shown to be $8 million).
Former DOGE employees and critics have stated publicly that true fraud investigations were rare or non-existent. One engineer noted most issues stemmed from software errors, not fraud.
Multiple Reddit threads feature users stating:
“DOGE has found ZERO documented cases of fraud. None.”
“Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud.”
⚖️ Legal & Governmental Actions
In March 2025, Pam Bondi (former Florida AG) announced that the DOJ would criminally investigate DOGE’s claims of fraud. However, no indictments or formal prosecutions have been reported.
Meanwhile, federal judges have blocked DOGE from accessing Social Security and Treasury systems, labeling its approach a “fishing expedition” and questioning the lack of supporting evidence.
📋 Summary Table
Aspect What Actually Happened
DOGE claimed to find fraud Yes — but evidence was not verified
Reported “savings” and discrepancies Many claims retracted or significantly reduced
Classified cases referred to DOJ Some referrals (e.g. voter-roll matches), but no known indictments
Independent auditor stance Most findings considered debatable or exaggerated
Lawsuits / court pushback Judges blocked access; critics called DOGE’s methodology flawed
✅ Final Note
To date, DOGE has not produced any verified cases of fraud that have led to criminal charges. The majority of its high-profile claims have been debunked or discredited after scrutiny, and there are no confirmed indictments based on DOGE’s investigations.

why do dems always focus on the bad>?
This is a **promotional summary** of the *One Big Beautiful Bill Act* from a pro-Trump or Republican-aligned source. It emphasizes the **benefits** and **talking points**, often using **best-case projections**, while omitting or minimizing the bill’s **cuts to social safety nets, healthcare, and clean energy**.
Here’s a **breakdown** of what’s **fact**, what’s **spin**, and what’s **missing**, based on independent analysis:
🔍 **CLAIMS VS. REALITY**
🧾 CLAIM: *"Wages up by $5,500–$10,500; Take-home pay up by $7,200–$12,200"*
**Spin**: These are *projections* based on tax cuts and hypothetical wage growth. They **don’t reflect guaranteed raises**—they assume trickle-down from corporate tax incentives.
* **Reality**: Independent estimates show modest average tax savings for middle-income earners (~$1,200–$1,800/year), while **high earners** gain much more.
* **Meanwhile**, these savings are offset by **cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and public services** many families rely on.
💰 CLAIM: *"No Taxes on Tips and Overtime"*
**Partially True**: The bill **exempts tip income and overtime wages** from federal income tax—but **not from payroll taxes** (like Social Security/Medicare).
**Benefit**: Good for tipped workers and those in gig/hospitality industries.
**Caveat**: Critics argue this creates complexity and encourages underreporting.
🧒 CLAIM: *"Expands Child Tax Credit; Supports 40M Families"*
**Half-true**: The Child Tax Credit is increased and made permanent, but **not fully refundable** like in the 2021 American Rescue Plan.
* So **poorer families may get less or nothing** unless they have taxable income—unlike under Biden’s expanded version.
🧺 CLAIM: *"Slashes Deficits by $2 Trillion"*
**False by most neutral estimates**: The bill **increases** the federal deficit by **$3.4 trillion over 10 years**, mainly due to permanent tax cuts for individuals and corporations ([CRFB](https://www.crfb.org/)).
🌽 CLAIM: *"Supports Farmers; Raises Death Tax Exemption"*
**True, but skewed**: Increasing the estate tax exemption helps **very wealthy landowners**, not most small farmers (only about 0.1% of estates were taxed under prior law).
* Crop insurance/rural support may help, but **Medicaid cuts hurt rural hospitals and elderly care**—a major concern in red states.
🔨 CLAIM: *"Massive manufacturing and small business tax relief"*
**Partly true**: The bill includes **expensing for capital investment**, lower corporate tax rates, and extended Opportunity Zones.
* Critics argue this **overwhelmingly favors large firms and developers**, with little oversight.
🌎 CLAIM: *"Ends Green New Scam; unleashes energy"*
**Very partisan framing**. The bill:
* **Repeals EV tax credits**
* Cuts **wind, solar, energy efficiency credits**
* **Prioritizes oil, gas, coal**, and **nuclear** production
* It **rescinds climate spending** from the Inflation Reduction Act, which was helping transition rural areas to cheaper renewable sources.
⚔️ CLAIM: *"Boosts ICE, Border Patrol, Coast Guard"*
**True**: Massive new funding—$10,000 annual bonuses, **10,000 new ICE agents**, and finishing the wall.
* This is a **central part** of the bill and appeals to immigration hawks.
* Critics argue it's **militarized overreach**, with limited effect on fentanyl (which mostly comes through legal ports).
🚨 WHAT’S MISSING
1. **Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP**
* Over **$1 trillion** in combined cuts.
* Work requirements, reduced eligibility, and state funding burdens.
2. **Defunding of Clean Energy and Climate Programs**
* Bill rolls back **Biden-era climate legislation**.
* Long-term cost: delays clean energy transition, likely increases emissions.
3. **Impact on Poor & Disabled Americans**
* Work requirements could push **millions off aid**, including seniors, disabled, and caregivers.
* **Rural hospitals**, especially in red states, face funding losses.
4. **Long-term Cost to Deficit**
* While marketed as “fiscally sane,” independent economists say the bill will **add over $3 trillion** to the national debt.
🧾 FINAL VERDICT
**Category** | **Verdict** -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
**Tax Cuts for Workers** | Mostly true, but benefits **skew to upper-middle class and wealthy** |
**Support for Families** | Partly true, but **excludes lowest-income households** |
**Rural and Farm Support** | Partly true, **estate tax changes help rich farmers more than small ones** |
**Border & Military** | Accurate—**major investments and personnel increases** |
**Fiscal Responsibility** | **False** — deficit likely to rise significantly |
**Energy & Environment** | **True but partisan framing** — major rollback of clean-energy investments |
-------------------------------------------------------------
It's all skewed to the middle class and the wealthy.
Did they have problems paying for groceries?
all i see is cuts to programs that are blotted and defrauded constantly.
women get pregnant, get a low income house on the governments dime, baby daddy gets job at ups warehouse, both drive cadillacs. this happened in 1999 and was witnessed by myself and 3 other people i know. once reported, the woman was booted out of the government housing.
You cannot cut SNAP, without it hurting the poor.
It's bullshit propaganda that all those programs are bloated and fraudulent.
You think feeding the poor is waste by definition, but those programs are doing
what they are designed to do, pretty efficiently, and people rely on them.

Wages are up by $5,500-$10,500
Take-Home Pay up by $7,200-$12,200
NO TAXES on TIPS or OVERTIME
Support for our farmers, veterans, and rural broadband
Made-in-America manufacturing incentives for NC job creators
All this within hours of the Clown signing this disaster in the making.
not the opposite, in the "big beautiful bill".
About 60-72% of the total tax relief is going to the top 20%.
The top 5% gets about 45% of the total tax relief.
The top 1% will get about $600 billion in tax-cuts over a decade.
It's impossible to do that, without it affecting the rest of you.
Since most of the tax-cuts are unaccounted for, it adds $3-4 billion to the debt by 2034.
That will increase inflation for those people who already cannot afford groceries.
Trump is doing what you accused Biden of doing AGAIN.
And he isn't doing it with investments into your economy, like Biden did,
he is doing it to reward his wealthy donors.
Here’s a URL that agrees with some of the stuff you said and much that you didn’t say.
only registered users can see external links
the gals that keep me fed at the local grill don't make over 25,000 in tips per year. so they would never be paying taxes on tips.
that would help them alot by increasing their bring home from tips by about 18% would it not?
We all know that 'if' Trump cured cancer, he would still be demonized.
Nobel peace prize for Trump. Accomplished more in 5 months than mr dementia did in 4 years.
Sorry for the last remark, I do not think mr dementia made any improving accomplishments. Just anything to help take down America.
Sorry for the rant.
NOW I ASK AGAIN: If you want to destroy America and American values what would you do different than that feeble old excuse of a 'MAN' we had for four catastrophic years?
I know the fucking word 'existential' means something, just not what the looney left was and is pushing.
Side with the loons, then live with the loons.
She has lots of dirt on Trump, so she's blackmailing him.
Epstein and Maxwell had a MULTI-BILLION dollar enterprise
pimping out under@ge prostitute/sex-slaves to billionaires.
Epstein and Trump have been best friends for years.
There is lots of public evidence and testimonials against Trump.
Not just Trump, but also against his first wife Ivana.
One of Epstein's victims, Maria Farmer, claims that Ivana Trump
was also good friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, and she witnessed them
hunting for new victims for Epstein.
They would cruise schools together, for pretty young girls in school uniforms.
only registered users can see external links
Trump is obviously burying the Epstein files, because there's at the very least
the testimony of Maria Farmer, pictures from Trump and half naked girls from
Epstein's vault, but likely even financial records linking Trump and Epstein.
Trump has been a filthy sexual predator all his life and you know it.
At least you deny it. How evil would your side be, if you just accepted it?
i would be hard pressed to trust a photo that suddenly appeared out of nowwhere now.
The age of photos can be quite accurately be determined.
There are still ways to show new fake photos to be fake. They are not perfect.
That you fall for the clearest fakes doesn't make them undetectable.
If those photos appeared, they would come from the possession of the FBI,
because they confiscated all evidence from Epstein.
Besides, there is a shit-ton more evidence on Trump's friendship with Epstein
than just photos. Ever heard of his little black address book?
Donald Trump’s Name Appears
His name is listed along with multiple phone numbers, including:
- His business numbers
- Mar-a-Lago
- Trump Organization contacts
- Trump Family and Associates Listed
Other Trump-linked names appear:
- Ivana Trump
- Ivanka Trump
- Eric Trump
- Alan Garten (Trump Org. lawyer)
Trump’s staff and Mar-a-Lago contacts are also included.
There is also evidence linking Epstein to Mar-a-Lago.
Virginia Giuffre (then Virginia Roberts) has testified in multiple legal proceedings that
she was working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago when she met Ghislaine Maxwell.
If Trump wasn't worried about Ghislaine Maxwell having dirt, she couldn't use it.
And if the case wasn't damning for Trump, he wouldn't have it buried like this.
He is also desperately trying to distract everyone from it.
In any case, at least you deny it. I don't know if you cannot admit it to yourself
or you just don't want to admit it to others, but it would be worse if you owned it
and then STILL supported the guy.
And how do you like the following?:
The administration’s FY 2026 budget proposal includes a $646 million cut to FEMA.
It also imposed a freeze of approximately $3.6 billion in unspent FEMA funds.
FEMA has undergone a cut of roughly 20% of its workforce.
Weather forecasting funding at NOAA was cut by $150 million.
phart just accused Bill Gates of
"taking our tax money and sending it so far away it can't help our own citizens in need."
Here is a clear example of Trump taking your tax money far away from helping your own citizens in need.
Well, at least he's cutting taxes for Bill Gates. So some of your money will still go
to poor people, for food and HIV medicine.
in other words, countys didn't cover their bases but it is so easy for you to blame Trump because he cut wasteful spending.
but use some common sense.in 1 area the water rose 26 feet in 45 minutes. there is not much of a warning system that would help in that situation.
There is ZERO evidence of any significant wasteful spending, unless you call every dollar spent to help people a waste.
You need good weather forecasting to predict water rising 26 feet in 45 minutes.
They can literally not do as good as a job as before, because of Trump's cuts.
However, I can predict that, without a doubt, far worse floods will happen, more often,
and you will need FEMA to have much more money, if you want to minimize the damage and human suffering.
you obviously never dealt with fema.
Can you afford EVERY STATE, to be ready for EVERY CATASTROPHE?
Why have it divided by state's borders? Why not every city?
It's just a nonsense argument, to cut spending for citizens in need.
How about the unlucky states? Many of them are red states, by the way. They would be held back a lot from that necessity. That doesn't just affect those states, that puts a break on the economy of the US as a whole.
Cooperation is always favorable to everyone as a whole. In economy 1 + 1 = 3.
Likewise, when I see people in need, I also want the whole world to help.
That's, sympathy / empathy, but also just reciprocity.
We don't have much control over luck / bad luck in the world, but we do
have control over how we treat (other) people, who are dealt a bad hand.
However, I understand that there is no unlimited pool of money,
so I support a system that uses the money most efficiently.
I think that's always a system that shares the risk with the biggest group.
It's like with insurances; you share the risk with other people,
instead setting aside money personally, for when something happens.
Almost no one can set aside enough money for a new house, when it burns down,
so you share the risk with a million or more other people.
Still, an insurance company could go bankrupt, if it only insured one city,
and there was a big fire burning down a lot of houses.
That's why you want to share the risk with as many people as possible.
The one thing that limits the size of the group is solidarity. People need
to feel some empathy for others in the group that they share the risk with.
They don't want to pay for people that they don't care about. They forget
that it's beneficial for everyone to maximize the size of the group, as soon
as people that they don't feel empathy towards are helped by the system.
That's what you see happening with FEMA.
here is a ai search result,
"Yes, some Florida homes have been rebuilt multiple times with FEMA assistance due to repeated flooding. This is partly due to the "50% rule" in flood zones, which requires homes with damage exceeding half the structure's value to be rebuilt to current standards, often involving elevation. While this rule aims to reduce future flood damage and costs to taxpayers, it can lead to a cycle of rebuilding for some homeowners"
50% of value, rebuilt multilabel times, is the same as rebuilding the house from ground up money wise. why keep putting the house in the same low spot to flood again?that is waste,put the house on high ground or redesign it to be more durable in the storm
each state knows it's problem areas.
each county knows it's problem areas. we have flood ways here that we can't even put up a mail box in without getting bitched at by the county.let alone a house.
there are so many issues with fema,it needs to at minimum be revamped from the ground up. and audited regularly.by someone besides it's self.
Do they get any money from Trump to organize their own
Emergency Management, like FEMA, but on a state level?
If not, all those states need to significantly raise state taxes.
When have you last seen Republicans create anything?
They can only brake things.
Fatalities: 37 people lost their lives across the state.
Damage: Estimated at $7 billion, with agriculture and timber alone accounting for approximately $5.5 billion in losses.
Does Georgia now have to "step up to the plate" to prepare for hurricanes?
Georgia averages one direct hurricane landfall every 10–15 years.
Climate change will probably increase their risk, but their risk of crippling hurricane damage is much lower than other states.
Do they now have to prepare for hurricanes, a 1 in 50 year event, for them?
Don't you understand how INEFFICIENT that is?
Didn't you want to reduce WASTE?
You lot want to eliminate waste, but you have no idea what waste is.
i want to see the feds simply hand over the money to the states to use as they see the need.
feds can't manage a whore house, much less storm damage.
They are not going to give that money to the states, they are only cutting it
to reduce the deficit they created to cut taxes for the wealthy.
People can suffer, so the billionaires can become trillionaires.
meanwhile, i put the tv near the screen door so i could stand out in the yard and look up and also see the radar scan.
i watched both and it did not even rain when the supposed tornado was going over my house.
nothing.
far as i am concerned the weather man is the only man that can lie on his job and still keep it.
Tornadoes are a very localized phenomenon. They can completely destroy
half a village and leave the other half completely intact.
This is the Annual Tornado Damage in the US:
Property Damage: $1.1–2 billion per year
Crop Damage: ~$100 million annually (varies)
Deaths: ~70 per year (historical average)
Injuries: ~1,500 per year
Are you denying that? Are you saying that all the victims are lying?
The past few days, our weather forecasters were raising the alarm (yellow and orange warnings) for thunderstorms in many parts of the country. We were anticipating at least heavy rain and some thunder, but we have seen only a small shower. I didn't even close the doors and windows. If I didn't understand weather, I would maybe start to accuse the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) of lying.
Instead, I watched the news and saw that parts of the Netherlands, mostly in the northern regions, experienced severe thunderstorms and storms that caused notable damage, including flooding and downed trees. This matched the earlier code orange alerts issued by forecasters. I understand that weather is LOCAL.
I'm not denying that shit happens, just because it didn't happen to ME.
How far removed are you, from becoming a loon like this one?

He thinks weather radar is for controlling weather, instead of predicting it.
the National Education Association Charter Repeal Act. The NEA was chartered by Congress in 1906 to champion America’s teachers and improve our schools, but it has spiraled into a partisan machine that’s more about radical ideology and toxic propaganda than education.
It's true that they don't like your ideology, but that's their job.
Their job is to defend history, science and critical thinking.
YOUR SIDE is the propaganda pushing side.
You want your propaganda pushed on children unrestricted.
It's what happened in 1933 Germany too.
The Democrat Party was the lifeblood of slavery, the KKK, and Jim Crow. The Klan was the armed militant apparatus of the Democrats. In contrast, the Republican Party was founded a few years before the Civil War for the sole purpose of uniting the anti-slave movement under a single political coalition.
with that being copied and pasted, let's see where that takes us
The argument,
"Without slaves, who will pick our crops?" was a common concern raised by proponents of slavery, particularly Southern plantation owners, during the debate over abolition in the 19th century. This argument highlighted the economic dependency of the Southern agricultural system on enslaved labor, especially for cash crops like cotton and tobacco.
so here in modern times our own Cat and Ananas are asking who will pick our crops without the illegal immigrants
does any of this sound similar to you folks?
and by the way, southern plantation owners were democrats
so there is no wonder now if you do some research, why democrats are so hell bent on immigrant labor.
10 kids found working at the pot farm in california, owned by a guy that donated alot to the govenor newsome. um>>????

for their own protection.
We talked about the history of the Democrats and the Republicans before.
The Republican Party was once the more liberal party, especially on slavery and civil rights in the 19th century. Over time—particularly during the 20th-century civil rights movement—both parties experienced a shift in their ideological bases, leading to the modern alignment where Republicans are generally conservative and Democrats are generally liberal.
It's not the name of the party that is associated with racism or the support for slavery, it's the ideology. Liberals have always supported equal rights and freedom, conservatives don't care about equality and only pretend to care about freedom, while they still support wage slavery. You yourself think people deserve nothing besides what they work for and even 40 hrs/per week should get you the basics for survival. It's only the happy few that deserve ridiculous wealth, because you think they are super-human.
I have NEVER supported the exploitation of illegals, I want to crack down on employers who do that. I'll allow legal immigrant labor, under a license system, but with all the same rights and rewards that natural born citizens get. I have warned you that you allowed your economy to become dependent on illegals, and you're hurting yourself, while you are hurting them. That's a whole different issue than supporting illegal migration. The common sense solution would be to legalize the lot of them, except for the true violent criminals. Don't lie that Trump is doing that.
And people who don't know how things changed, will show their ignorance,
by linking the current Democratic party with support for slavery,
while the Democrats back then were the conservatives from the South,
who are now ALL in the Republican party.
It's good if you don't want to be associated with slavery,
but then also not try to justify slavery, as your ilk often does.

folks like you don't care if coal miners are put out of work. you just say they can retrain for another job no big deal right?
so those working in the tourist industry, they can just retrain for another job, no big deal.
sad to feel that way but that is using liberal logic
The difference between the coal miners and the tourist industry is the following:
- New energy brings much more, much healthier and better paying jobs, than the job of coal miner. In total that shift is positive for society.
- The collapse of the tourist industry is not replaced by anything. It's just a loss of your GDP, which isn't compensated by anything else. There are no other jobs coming in its place.
However, you won't have a shortage of jobs, because of all the migrant workers you are putting in a concentration camp. Your tourist workers just shouldn't be picky, because those jobs aren't much fun. That's why you had those migrant workers for them.
so is john kerry going to be the proverbial "uncle tom" of the democrats now that he admits to agreeing with Trump on a issue??
'News'MAX: "Look over there, a squirrel!!"
there is no hope for liberals, they can't be shown the facts and it do any good.
All the Democrats were shouting from the rooftops "PROTECT OUR BORDER!!!".
You are all living in an alternate reality and even Kerry is affected by it.
Kerry is correct that Democrats couldn't get their message out successfully, but he's wrong in saying “He was right. The problem is—we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction.”. Democrats SHOULD NOT move into the direction of eliminating due process.
One Democrat saying something that you like, is a squirrel.
Here is ONE pastor saying something that most Democratic voters agree on,
while most other pastors are saying the exact opposite. Is he now on CNN,
as an example of the other side, to argue: "We must be right, because this single person from the other side says that we are right on this issue!"?

I'm sure that CNN does that sometimes, but it means NOTHING to ME.
There is someone from the group that is wrong about everything,
agreeing with my point on something? "OK, you're welcome. Is it just this?"
"I don't need you to agree with me, to know I'm right. I have ARGUMENTS!"
if bill gates is so damn concerned about world health, he can spend his own money to fix it instead of taking our tax money and sending it so far away it can't help our own citizens in need.
he already sends a lot of his money over seas, that's well and good,it's his to send, i just don't approve of him wanting to send my money over there.
The US was doing that too. That was actually a good thing you did.
Why do you think that Bill Gates had any part in your tax-dollars going "far away"?
The US stopping that, especially so abruptly is incredibly damaging.
Using your money like that is called 'soft power', it's to your own advantage.
Why do you talk about helping your own citizens in need?
You don't want to. You prefer to help the billionaires, who don't need it.
watch the simulation at the very end and it will make it very clear how lucky Trump is to be alive. i know it would have brought great pleasure to cat and others had he not turned his head but it saved our country.
However, I cannot decide what's worse, Trump continuing to destroy your country,
adding chaos to the world and deciding to accelerate climate change, or him dying
that day and giving MAGA a martyr.

Liberal globalization refers to the process of increasing global interconnectedness driven by the principles of economic liberalism, democracy, and multilateralism. It's characterized by the promotion of free trade, open markets, and the establishment of international institutions to facilitate cooperation and manage global challenges
in other words, a 1 world government. sad that it takes Putin to bring this up, no one will listen to him since he is considered the enemy ,but we as Americans would be so much better off if we minded our own damn country and it's needs first
ah those food stamps, another freebie folks that don't need them is taking advantage of.
It's only all the OTHERS who are dirty profiteers, but you and your friends deserve it, because you were working hard all your life, or you had a lot of bad luck, or whatever. It's always OK for you, but all the others are lazy fucks.
I'm trying to change your thinking on that. Your government is not of the habit of giving "freebies". Take what they offer, because you either are ENTITLED to it or you NEED it, just like EVERYONE ELSE. Don't throw away Medicaid and Social Security for the LIE that some people are abusing it. You're fucking the 99+% of people who don't.
Don't be a TOOL for the wealthy who don't grant you these basics of modern civilization, so they can have even more money.
Cherish the tiny bit of social safety net that you still have in your godforsaken country. It's important for people's survival. It helps them maximize their potential. Bums in boxes are useless. Also, it might be you in that box, or someone you care about.
Don't assume you are safe, just because you worked hard all your life.
How different your tune is, than when you just voted for Trump. People were suffering from the high inflation and they couldn't buy groceries, remember. Now that Trump is crushing all those people to pulp, you're back to not giving a fuck. Very strange!
COVID set us back didn’t help either, because now there are men and women of various ages that have been able to stay home and receive government assistance.
at home, in the kitchen. Now they want them to work? I don't think so.
That effect of Covid was very short-lived. There is no government assistance anymore. However, there is still a remaining labor shortage. There are about 1.7 million missing workers. Some of them just died. Another big group is suffering from long covid. "Reduced Workforce Participation: An estimated 2 to 4 million working-age Americans have been unable to work due to long COVID, either temporarily or permanently."
Some young people stayed in school longer. When they started an education, it takes several years to finish it. There are indeed women who do not return to their job, because they are mothers now. Personally, I think that mothers and fathers need to share the working life, but I don't think both should work a full-time job. Parents should be able to provide for their children with at maximum 60 hrs/week total.
I’ve worked hard my entire life and in most of my years, there wasn’t just one job, I worked two jobs. Last year I jumped out of retirement to be a caregiver. There are jobs to be had by those that are motivated to do more than leach off of society.
Your last sentence in your last paragraph of your post,
"There are jobs to be had by those that are motivated to do more than leach off of society."
says it all. You either don't see or choose to ignore the needy who have no way to improve their lot in life. I'm glad you are healthy enough to work again, but, let's be real, most people that have to take help from the government are healthy enough to work and they already do.
And, BTW, leaches come in all forms for many reasons. But, they are not the norm.

Was he a comedian or a damn prophet?
I rarely choose to use vulgar language however that amount deserves a what the fuck can you buy/ how far can $23.00 at the grocery store? Geez Louise! On Sunday, after CHURCH, I stopped at a nearby Spartan market because I wanted some fruit, specifically I wanted apples. Spartan markets identify their house brand by the name of “OUR FAMILY”. I looked at a 3lb bag of Honey Crisp apples that were priced at $9.99. I asked a nearby grocery clerk whether that sign was accurate and she confirmed that it was. Can you believe it? A jaw dropping $3.33 per pound for Honey Crisp apples so I grabbed a 3lb bag of Fuji that was only $4.99!
Back to what $23.00 might buy at the local store, eggs aren’t as expensive as when I WHINED about them in Florida…. I can buy eggs at Kroger for under $3.00, actually they were $2.79 per dozen (I can’t afford organic cage free eggs). So yesterday I bought eggs at $2.79, a 3 pack of Romaine lettuce hearts ($3.99), a bottle of Kraft Salad Dressing on sale for $2.49, a generic $5.00 bag of lunch meat that was tagged as “oven roasted turkey”*, one can of Simple Truth organic Garbanzo beans ($1.25), Fairlife Ultra-Filtered lactose free low-fat milk (52 oz/$5.69)** and a I suspect you might be able to get a bag of white rice, too.
I spent slightly less than $22.00 yesterday and as you see, $23.00 doesn’t go far in Michigan! Would yesterday’s haul feed me for a month until my next $23.00 comes? Hell, NO!
* the generic bag of oven roasted turkey was packaged in a Kroger deli bag as if it was sliced and packaged upon request that morning. It tasted okay once I washed all the salt taste off of it. It definitely is not as tasty as Boar’s Head turkey that is $12.49 per lb.
** Fairlife Ultra-filtered milk priced at $5.69 for 52oz (12oz LESS THAN the standard 1/2 gallon) I’ve been buying this milk because it has a shelf life of 2 months. I am able to consume it all, there’s no spoilage, well worth the extra money I spend!

Also, it's very obvious you were never a mom. Not even close.
What state does the single mother of one live because that has some bearing on whatever it is you’re trying paint. Effective February 21, 2025, minimum wage in Michigan was set at $12.48. Per Google; “ The current minimum wage in Florida is $13.00 per hour, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This rate applies to all workers in the state, including those in tipped positions, though tipped employees may be paid a lower direct wage with tips making up the difference. The minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $15.00 per hour by September 30, 2026, with annual increases of $1.00 until then according to the U.S. Department of Labor. ” YOU’RE WELCOME!
The way I see things is that there are a good deal of young people that want what their parent(s) have which they, the parent(s) worked years to acquire. GET REAL! There’s going to be years of peanut butter and jelly (if you can afford the jelly) , Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, store brand generic corn flakes instead of Cap’n Crunch, a plastic bag with unpopped popcorn as a treat instead of Doritos or Lays Potato Chips, Kool-Aid instead of Coca Cola. Life is all about making choices.
And as for being a single mother with one child that only works 32 hours per week, she better consider getting a second job. Furthermore, she should have given thought to her circumstances before deciding to bring a child into the world. How much responsibility do I have, as a taxpayer, to provide woman or man with “luxuries” that I cannot even justify for myself.
By the way, did you notice that Florida’s minimum wage of $13.00 includes those in tipped positions? When I return to Florida in October of November, maybe I will look for a 20 hour per week job tending bar or waitressing. I was a darn good “bartendress” back in the day. In my 37 year career working for a major healthcare provider I always maintained a second job. My primary job took care of my obligations, my second job was the “frosting on the cake”. Yeah, the second job provided me the extras. Yep, I have a decent stock portfolio, a waterfront home in Michigan, a place in Florida for the winter…. Life is all making choices.
Bella, I didn't want to have this apology get buried in the other part of the chat. I'll respond to the rest sometime later.
Where my concerns are are with the elderly, some not aware OR TOO PROUD to explore programs that help ease some of the financial burden with food, medicine, etc.. In my town/county there is a program that provides voucher(s) to seniors for fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs. I qualify based on my age however I am “proud” and feel that I can comfortably buy the things that I want and need. Am I going to complain about Honey Crisp apples being $9.99 for a 3lb bag? Heck YES!
By the way, thank you for the apology, that was very kind of you.
But even if you didn't work for 37+ years, those programs serve a need.
Americans are the hardest working people on the planet.
Cut your fellow Americans some slack.
I feel that the system is geared to provide the same number of programs and amenities to the dead beats as it is to ME, a hard working contributor and that is unfortunate .
If they fail in life, I don't want to have any blame for that.
Then there are lots of people who are just not smart and completely lacking of talent. Look at how stupid the average person is and then realize that 50% is stupider than them. About a quarter is not capable of surviving this modern world. Do we just give up on them? I say that would be a waste of potential. They can pull their weight,
if we help them a bit. It's for our own benefit as much as theirs.
I don't think it's unfortunate that a contributor like me is not getting the same as someone who under-performs. The whole intent is to help the ones who need it.
I don't need anything anymore, but society helped me get to where I am.
Save it for the people who need it, so we help them contribute too. Also, I was lucky so far, but everyone is at risk of their luck running out. When it does, I want society to help me out, just as I want to help out everyone who is shit out of luck now.
Don't think this is all sympathy for poor people. It's mostly selfish. I want to live
in a nice world. You are just extras. I want you to be cheerful in my movie of life, because I don't like dramas.
The Trumps and the Vances and the Dgraffs and the Bellas, can believe what they want. I know, yes, I know, better.
Do I think that dgraff is “milking the system”, no, I think he is participating in programs that he is eligible and qualifies for.

Are you also realizing how much capitalism critique is contained in this video?
It's all a guide for protecting yourself against greedy assholes, trying to screw you.
I think that voting for Trump is also capitalism critique. Many people voted for Trump, because they are tired of how capitalism has fucked them over for the last decades.
Trump promised something different. He's a lying fuck, who doesn't give a damn about you, but Americans are easily fooled. That's because most of you are indoctrinated to believe fairy-tales from a 2000 year old book. If you believe that, you believe everything.
That's the whole reason for why the wealthy fund religion.
Trump has completely abandoned the idea of free global trade, one of the basic principles of capitalism. That's capitalism critique.
Also, your whole anti-immigrant rhetoric is based on the idea that the "filthy brown people" are coming for your jobs. That's also capitalism critique. If you hadn't deregulated capitalism, so they wouldn't be able to pick cheap immigrants over you, that would not be your concern. (unless you just hate brown people, of course)

If he is a criminal, for hiring 'illegals', as your Assistant Secretary Dept. of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said, why is he not in jail awaiting trial right now. He is clearly facilitating 'illegals'.
alot of folks fought and died back in the 1700's to get us out from under a kings thumb.
And so it starts. Best interest of the country? Why not let Israel handle it. Why involve us in another war we have no business being in.
if there ever was a good case of what if, this would be it, do you really want God pissed off at you or your nation?
"The Bible contains verses that are interpreted as indicating God's favor towards those who support Israel and his promise to bless those who bless Abraham's descendants. This is often linked to the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12:3, where God promises to bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants. Some Christians believe this passage extends to the modern nation of Israel and therefore support the nation's existence and well-being. "
You can try to make all the excuses you want. It WAS declaration of war. Illegal too.
to me, Trump swore and took a oath to protect America and eliminating a threat of nukes in the hands of radicals is fulfilling that oath.
If this was right, you wouldn't be scrambling for an excuse. And, BTW, I told you and others, I don't care what you believe or think about my views. Your flawed views don't make it any less true. The Clown King broke the law.
when you forget history, or erase it as many democrats do, you repeat it.
you and folks like you,are the reason this country is so fucked up. sometimes when shit has hit the fan, you have to go to extreme measures to clean things up.
Trump inherited a mess. 4 years of some other asshole using autopen to sign things biden didn't even know were going on. now that he is dying of cancer, that is mighty convenient for those that used him during that 4 years. alot of crime there that you wouldn't support investigating because you like the results
1) does Iran have nuclear weapons or are they close to it?
2)did the Clown’s own security advisors tell him Iran did NOT have nuclear weapons or close to having it?
3) what “mess” are you talking about? If it’s so obvious then you should be able to be specific.
4) why are my groceries and other staples so high? Higher than Biden’s term?
5)why are so many other world leaders condemning the attack?
6)why are Americans held in so low esteem that it’s being suggested to not travel abroad?
7) Congress is controlled by Republicans. Why aren’t there any investigations on Biden or his term of office?
So, Mr Phart, besides farting into the wind, what have you got except a bad smell?
concentrate on how things got where they are.
you are able to google. the autopen thing is going on right now.his doctor is being questioned shortly in congress.
get with the now if it is so important to you.
other world leaders are condemning the attack because they are afraid it will upset their apple carts of money and oil under the table bypassing sanctions.
And, still, you can't justify anything. You are all talk but no proof. And you certainly can't keep it on the subject.
We did pursue an air war but the real #1 enemy was Japan.
You can minimize it, excuse it, whatever, but, the Clown King committed an act of war and Iran sees it as so.
Again, don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t hate Jews and some of my closest friends are Jews. Your “theory” is beneath you.
oh yea, iran just decided to close the strait to block oil shipments. so um, do we sit back and wait or do we blow the bastards out of the water and keep moving oil?

The Rules of Engagement (ROE) for U.S. soldiers
2. Key Principles:
Positive Identification (PID):
Soldiers must have a reasonable certainty that a target is a legitimate military target before engaging it.
Proportionality:
The force used should be proportionate to the threat, meaning the harm caused should not be excessive in relation to the military advantage gained.
Distinction:
Military forces must distinguish between combatants and civilians, and between military objectives and protected objects like hospitals or cultural sites.
Precautions in Attack:
Soldiers must take reasonable precautions to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects during an attack.
“Self-Defense:
Soldiers have the right to defend themselves and their unit from attack.”
Minimizing Collateral Damage:
ROE aim to limit collateral damage, which is unintended harm to civilians and civilian objects.

what Ice and immigration officials are doing is walking into enemy territory and removing illegals. if their faces and names are public, they are potential targets of hate crimes. i can't believe you are not smart enough to understand the issue. I think you are, but you are looking at the removal of illegals as being wrong and are cherry picking things to make it all look bad.
if you were being invaded,as the US has been over the past few years, they may well need to be.
i hope not. i would rather none of this had to happen. but things have gotten out of hand.
lazy Americans would rather pay some immigrant 2 dollars a hour to do grunt work and lay around on their cell phone instead of being self reliant.
ICE hide their face because they feel idiots like you will take things out on their families (home).
Now why do libtard blm, floyd, and hamas supporters feel the need to hide their faces. Hmmm, avoid prosecution maybe?
I do not think anyone is holding their breath for your answer, but you might want to take a breath.
The problem is not the protection but the intent of these members of the law. There’s a difference between a raid in a dangerous (or perceived dangerous) alleged law breaker and downright cruel intimidation.
Second,Tecsan, you know very well why these DEI agents wear those masks. How many of these poor (and I mean cash poor) illegals could possibly be ready to retaliate. Notice I’m giving you a chance to turn the narrative. You know it’s all BS.

that is alot of money cat.
people that can be a asset to America can pay 5 million dollars to become a citizen and look what that money can do? that is less taxes for you and me.
get rid of the free loaders and bring in the people that can really make change happen. a man or woman willing to pay 5 million dollars to come here, has funds to cover research into automated machines to pick crops, and other jobs illegals do.
but Putin is not playing ball. I understand his frustration.
can just continue bombing civilians, which is a war crime.
Ukraine hit a military target, which is fully justifiable self defense against an agressor.
I think this helps the peace negotiations. It weakens Russia, which is good.
It levels the playing field.
and the facts are only western tech would have allowed this attack to happen. does that not ring a bell?
in other words, it could very well be the US helped bomb those planes, which means our nuclear arsenel is fair game to the russians now.
- Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plant Agreement (2010)?
Ukraine and Russia signed an intergovernmental agreement to collaborate on constructing the third and fourth reactors at Ukraine's Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plant.
- 2010 Nuclear Security Summit?
During the 2010 Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C., Ukraine announced its decision to relinquish its stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), to prevent nuclear terrorism and was welcomed by the international community.
- Joint Working Paper on NPT Withdrawal Procedures?
In 2010, Ukraine and Russia co-authored a working paper for the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). While not a treaty, this collaboration highlighted both countries' engagement in nuclear non-proliferation discussions.
- New START Treaty (2010)?
Although not directly involving Ukraine, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) between the United States and Russia was signed in 2010. Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state under the NPT, supported such arms control measures and called on both nations to continue efforts in nuclear disarmament.
Ukraine did not violate ANY "nuclear treaty".
ChatGPT: The most relevant document is the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This treaty included a key clause where both countries recognized each other's existing borders, which at that time meant Russia recognized Crimea as part of Ukraine.
That 1997 treaty was violated by Russia, when they conquered Crimea,
and again when Russia attacked Ukraine and conquered big parts of it.
That treaty is in the bin. Since then, Ukraine is allowed to defend itself.
Those planes were destroyed with cheap drones that Ukraine makes themselves.
I would not have been happy, if they used our F-16s for that.
However, Ukraine may (legally) use F-16s to strike military targets in Russia,
and the Netherlands now appears to allow this as well, provided the strikes are defensive and target legitimate military objectives. Still, the actual use of such weapons remains subject to political decisions and strategic considerations,
and will be weighed carefully by Ukraine and its allies.
Do you want Europe to wait to get involved, until Russia attacks Poland or Finland?
Or will you then still argue that we cannot do counter-attacks, because Russia has nukes?
If Russia uses nukes, they can expect retaliation. They should understand that 1
of our nukes on one of their most vital areas will do much greater damage to them,
than 1 of their nukes on any of our most vital areas. They have a very big country,
but their economy is very small and very localized. They can be nuked back to the stone age with only a few nukes, but it requires many to do that to Europe or the US.
If you are so afraid of nuclear annihilation, you shouldn't have voted for Trump,
who is a blithering idiot on the subject. If someone ends the world, it'll be him.
In the meanwhile, we are not letting Russia gain strength, because that's one sure route to nuclear annihilation. They need to know that the part of Earth that they already occupy is big enough. They are smart enough to know that what they have
is better than nuclear annihilation. They thought that they could win easily. Wrong!
Now they are playing a long-term strategy, and you still fail to understand.
Your orange buffoon has been playing right into their hands. He only helped them.
But now even he is beginning to understand. When will you?
There is nothing that anyone can do, except FORCE HIM into choosing peace,
because war is too costly for him. Or too costly to the Russians, so they stop him.
Even if we give Putin all of Ukraine today, there wouldn't be peace.
The only thing it did is reward Putin, make him a hero to the Russian people
and show them that their suffering was worth it....
(What do you think the points mean?)
Please read up on some psychology and war strategy.
Most Russians are just victims too.
That doesn't mean we should let them conquer Ukraine.
How many German people would have been spared, if the world had
put a stop to Hitler, BEFORE he went to war with EVERYONE?
Ever heard of the Munich Agreement of 1938?
Hitler claimed that the Germans in the Sudetenland were being mistreated and demanded that the region be ceded to Germany. Britain (led by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain) and France, hoping to avoid another war, pursued a policy of appeasement. Result: Britain and France agreed to let Hitler annex the Sudetenland in exchange for a promise of no further territorial demands.
In March 1939, Hitler broke his promise and invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia.
I hope you at least know what happened next.
And you want to be just as naive now.
I know you people hate teaching kids HISTORY, but it's meant to prevent
making the same mistakes over and over again.
I'm not saying you need to read, heaven forbid, but maybe a documentary or two?
putin does and has launched a nuclear ready missile at ukraine just to show them he does have the tech to blow them off the map.
just to put my honest opinion online once and for all, the US has special forces such as Delta Force,or Navy SEAL Team 6 that went in and got bin laden. other countries have similar.such as your Korps Commandotroepen, or israel's , Sayeret Matkal ,
if and i do mean if, the US and the netherlands gave a honest damn about the dangers putin poses, he woulda been dead 3 years ago.
your country and others in europe are using the war to try to milk the US out of more money and military aid that you could build yourselves if you wanted to.
What would the US do, if some country sends their elite killers for Trump?
There is no declaration of war as clearly as killing the leader of the enemy.
Don't be daft, what good does milking the US do us.
No one wanted this war, except Putin and his friends.
We expect you to keep your side of a decades old deal.
You sold the weapons to everyone, that's your business.
If you are not a trustworthy supplier anymore, we have to
make weapons ourselves. We will, but it's not like opening
a sandwich shop, and we cannot buy the machines at Amazon.
as for milking the us, you get to watch a world super power melt down. that's entertainment for europeans.
you think no one will use nukes, boy are you naive.if putin gets mad enough , boom!
that war coulda ended early on had zelensky allowed a election and a legit president,if not himself again won the election. that is why putin won't sit down with zelenski, he has sat in the office and prevented a election, therefore is not a legit leader to negotiate with anyhow
has been postponed due to the ongoing martial law imposed after Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Under Ukrainian law, elections cannot be held while martial law is in effect. This is to ensure continuity of governance and support the nation's defense.

.... and of course we all know that Vladimir Putin is known worldwide for his free and fair elections, right?
putin invaded ukraine, some say he did it to deal with a nazi problem, others think he is just greedy for the land to reassemble the soviet union. which a unified group of countries would be stronger.
regardless of the reason if you will remember back a year or so ago when the election did not happen, putin said the reason he would not sit down with zelensky was because he was no longer legit.
should this war continue>? no, should not have started. but putin has gained some ground in the war, and if the fighting is to stop, zelenski may need to consider giving it up. unless he just wants the killing to continue.
7:00 PM Thursday, in Washington, DC
so there is a slight time difference. Trump called putin at His convenience, not putins.
The report breaks these actions into 15 main categories, including:
1. Official government time and resources have been spent promoting Musk’s businesses.
2. Under the Trump Administration, federal government agencies — perhaps influenced by Musk or seeking his favor — have entered or explored new lucrative contracts for his companies and turned to his companies’ services.
3. During the Trump Administration, federal agencies have dropped investigations into Musk companies, declined to enforce regulations against them, or foregone penalties that appear to have been warranted.
4. Largely guided by Musk’s DOGE, the Trump Administration has hamstrung the agencies overseeing Musk’s companies, gutting their staff, throwing sand in the gears of their operations, and embedding DOGE staff loyal to Musk.
5. Agencies have pursued policy changes and regulatory approvals that benefit Musk’s companies.
6. Musk received special access to sensitive government meetings, classified information, and proprietary government data that can boost his companies.
7. Musk has been involved in selecting and installing personnel loyal to him in agencies that regulate or contract with his companies.
8. Musk appeared to redirect foreign aid and immigration policy toward his personal parochial interests rather than the public’s interest.
9. Musk companies reportedly use the promise of federal assistance — or threat of federal penalties — to extract better deals from business partners and competitors.
10. The Trump Administration weaponizes federal enforcement powers against Musk’s enemies.
11. Musk’s influence-peddling in Congress will benefit his bottom line.
12. Musk secured deals with foreign nations and companies, often after using his unique access to Trump Administration policy discussions and staff.
13. Musk’s family members also receive new business opportunities – soon after Musk becomes top advisor to the president.
14. Musk uses his influence to meddle in the political and judicial processes in ways that could help protect his political — and financial — interests.
15. Despite his calls for the government to practice “maximum transparency,” Musk has failed to inform the American people of critical information about his potential conflicts of interest.

i hope they tear the system apart and rebuild it from the ground up. there has been so much money poured into it, yet, when people are unable to work and are due benefits they make impossible to get it. those that don't live in the us have no real clue what that system is like, they think uncle sam just hands everyone deserving a check. they make it very hard to get, and keep moving the goal post as to when you can start drawing it and etc. a racket or Ponzi scheme.
here are a few things you really should think about,that are not Elons fault
1, key board monitoring virus's. my first computer was infected with the pretty park virus in 2001 , made for a hell of a mess
It's impossible to give a precise number of computers with keyboard monitoring viruses. Keyloggers are a form of malware that records keystrokes, and the number of computers affected by them fluctuates constantly. While researchers estimate that millions of computers are infected, and keyloggers can be used for both malicious and legitimate purposes, it's difficult to track them accurately.
2, hacked email accounts,
It's difficult to pinpoint an exact number of hacked email accounts, as many breaches go unreported. However, data suggests a high likelihood of email accounts being compromised. In 2022, the Identity Theft Resource Center reported 1,291 publicly reported data breaches with roughly 166 million victims, indicating that many email accounts are likely affected.
3, id theft
In 2021, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported that about 23.9 million U.S. residents aged 16 or older (9% of the population) were victims of identity theft during the prior 12 months. This figure represents about 1 in 10 persons in the U.S. who experienced identity theft in the past year. Additionally, a 2023 AARP report stated that about 15 million Americans were affected by identity fraud, according to AARP.
so if you just now got concerned about your private information because a world leader in technology is looking for fraud in our governments work, you could be in danger of id theft and other things,and may very well be a victim of many crimes and not even know it. elon is not a crook but how many crooks are looking at your info right now that you don't know about?
That is the real reason they have not been made public’

Oh, now he cares about that, but not before, when he spent $290 million
to help Trump win the election.
of course Trump,and whoever else is a enemy would be in that file, as soon as a hacker put them in there.
sadly this type stuff like bill and the cigar,has been so common place that it is acceptable behavior for famous people to do reckless and illegal things. so now with Ai tech, plenty of deep fake photos and fake electronic files could be created to bring down anyone.
just think about what i am saying before you say it can't be done, you didn't like or trust Elon before he said that, so why would you change now/? because it fits your hate filled agenda towards Trump?
