    Honestly you have to grade @Commodore on a scale, he's quoting a mentally defective Goebbels enthusiast (currently living rent free in - a taxpayer funded military installation despite no legal grounds for doing so ) who has illegally appropriated vast swaths of power for himself. He's topical, if only to plan on how to hold him accountable.

    But it's arguably a step up from spam posting Pakistani middled aged men pretending to be @HawtMAGA911 on Twitter

    Or is it? I don't even know. Hey @Commodore if you're an actual person, tell your family I feel sorry for them.

    Yeah, cleaning up the immigration problems, wars Biden left him, bringing in trillions of dollars to this country is a problem. The killing of Americans by the illegal immigrants that Biden let into this country sickens me, but I'm the citizen with the problem.

    Why did they let these people in the country to begin with. That should be the real question? Could the reason be a political reason?

    You just made my point. This misinformation bubble of a response has no basis in reality. This sounds like it’s straight from Russian troll farm Twitter feeds.

    Has Musk disabled the feature to see where X users are located yet? It would be interesting to see just how many foreign propagandists commodore, salvy and the gang repost daily.

    Trump said we are taking in trillions of dollars (in tariffs). That's a lie. The fed gov has collected $231B in Customs Duties (tariff) YTD.

    Are you really FOR increasing taxes to bring in trillions of dollars to the federal government? If we increase the federal income tax rate to a 30% flat tax rate, we would bring in an additional $2 trillion. If we actually implement a 30% across-the-board tariff rate on everything ($3-4T of imports), we would bring in an additional ~$1 trillion. You are for this?

    You're so ****ing ignorant, lol I still can't throw you on the old ignore list...folks this is MAGA. Uneducated, fake being religious for population control (shoutout to @cml750 ) and generally full of ****. If y'all fell off the end of the flat earth :rolleyes: in the coming weeks no one would miss you.

    Trump could pop a few Viagra pills, be propped up to **** your wife and "others" and you'd thank him for the pleasure. A cuck like you would probably raise the b*stard as your own with pride.

    Just a bunch of insults with no substance but I'm ignorant.

    Lets just say I value a secure border and safe cities more than you do. I'm not going to call you ignorant just because we've got different opinions.

    I believe what Bessent says, the money is coming and when it does the economy will takeoff. Yes, I'm for doing what your proposing, everybody needs to share responsibility for the deficit. We all voted in the politicians who created this debt. The taxes however you want to get the money should be earmarked to pay down the debt.

    Misinformation? Really, people are being killed because of immigration policies. The you lady national guards woman should be a live today. I bet if you had a family member killed by an illegal like many American families have that you would feel differently.

    Many Americans haven't. But the few that have were exploited by the Republicans to prey on people that aren't aware.

    Ok, thx for the answer.

    Bessent said the economy will "take off" by 4Q of this year (we are now in 4Q) and that it will grow 3%+ by May of next year. 4Q hasn't ended yet, but I don't think anyone sees signs the economy is taking off as predicted. May 26 is only 5-6 months away, so we'll see soon enough how accurate that forecast is.

    He's also made several false claims: that tariffs are not taxes, that companies won't pass tariff costs on to consumers, and that inflation has nothing to do with tariffs. Yet contradicting that last point, he said they're rolling back tariffs on certain food products to reduce prices... implying tariffs did in fact cause food inflation.

    This dude said in April that the tariffs would cause a massive job boom and tariffs will revitalize the economy by the fall. Now that the job market is absolute **** and were shredding jobs his predictions fell flat but of course hes happy with the economy cuz its his cult hero in charge.

    Hilarious

    Its a cult. Facts dont matter with these people. MAGATs could be homeless living under a bridge and hed still say the economy is booming lol

    Lets not forget that Trump just pardoned one of the biggest convicted drug dealers in American history who was caught smuggling 500 tons of cocaine.

    " I am ready for it, the death penalty, if you deal drugs," Trump said during a meeting with state governors in February, where he said dealers are too often treated with a "slap on the wrist."

    Three months later he granted clemency to Larry Hoover, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for crimes linked to his role leading the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples.

    Ron Safer, a former U.S. attorney in Chicago who helped prosecute members of the Gangster Disciples during the 1990s, said he was shocked and dismayed by Trump's decision to commute Hoover's sentence.

    He pointed out that Hoover's gang was one of the largest and most violent drug syndicates in the U.S., operating in 35 states according to the U.S Justice Department. Hoover himself was convicted of state and federal charges including murder and use of a firearm while trafficking drugs.

    "Larry Hoover was the head of perhaps the most pernicious, efficient drug operation in the United States," Safer said. "They sold over $100 million of drugs a year in the city of Chicago alone. They were responsible for countless murders. They supported their drug territories with ruthless violence."

    Trump has pardoned some of the biggest criminals there are. He's a hypocrite when it comes to crime.

    His first act was to pardon a bunch of domestic terrorists and hate group members who beat hundreds of police officers and made death threats towards the Vice President and others, because they were his supporters. If a mob of protesters, black or brown people stormed, beat and bear sprayed a bunch of cops he would scream through the rooftops and demand the stiffest punishment. If they stormed the White house or any of his multiple residences he wouldn't hesitate to have them shot. When it's him, he has Secret Service armed and ready.

    With Trump, it's so often based on political stance, loyalty, skin color of perp or victim, and personal benefit and association with the criminals, regardless of how many millions they reaped in from criminal acts, or what type violence they've committed. He's given a sex trafficker and groomer a transfer to the country club of prisons. He bends over backwards to appease ruthless dictators and leaders who commit atteocities against humanity, and rolls out the red carpet for them. He is a walking talking hypocrite. It is usually about how that pardon, policy, or executive order can benefit him personally, or his family empire in the future.
