    We are way past having to get back on our feet after COVID and the inflation afterwards that people across the world dealt with. Trump has no excuse for any rise in inflation now. It's all on him. Still waiting on his proposed affordable healthcare plan. That seems to be an afterthought now, as he's focusing on retribution against all he hates and all who don't paint his picture like he wants it painted in the media, threatening to take control of other countries and renaming oceans and parks, firing heads of all military branches, promoting Tesla, firing thousands of federal workers, making souvenirs, promoting his crypto, and stuff. Oh, and golfing and flying around attending sporting events for attention, and spending millions to promote himself on commercials. :eek:

    The difference is when you're a white republican you are graded on a completely different scale than if you're a democrat. The vast majority of people vote republican do it for the hate and racism.. People don't have the same expectations that they do with a democrat.

    Trump has sincerely accomplished nothing other than destroying our alliances and tanking the stock market. If a democratic president had done what Trump has done these morons would be rioting

    It's the whole breaking all our old alliances that's really troubling, especially Canada. If you had told me 10 years ago that some crazy man hellbent on being King, destroying Democracy, treating Canada, Greenland, and the Gaza Strip, along with the Panama Canal like properties to take in a Monopoly game, idolizing Dictators, and bending a knee to Putin at every turn would become President I wouldn't have believed it. Yet, MAGA folks being brainwashed and fed propaganda and lies nonstop made it happen. It's disgusting.

    You should read your own words. You literally said the guy with dementia has done a better job than the guy who has barely been in there for two months. You already made up your mind. Trump said the very same thing... he could heal cancer and you would complain it put millions of government healthcare workers out of work therfore he is worse than hitler.

    "He could heal cancer" lol yeah the guy who ended all cancer research and ended scientific research and clinical trials at universities is going end cancer.

    Braindead trolls

    It would be one thing if he had some secret plan to annex canada ( i obviously don't agree with that) and steal their natural resources but he doesn't. Hes just trolling for the lolz at the expense of destroying our alliances.

    Hospitality companies are slashing guidances and revenue projections cuz they see massive declines in traffic from EU/Canada. What in the world has he accomplished for his trolling?

    His braindead followers don't care

    Trump has a cabinet full of great generals, like it or not. He has the most powerful man in his right pocket. And he has the world's boogeyman in his left pocket. Trump is moving faster than the Nazis did. Greenland is pretty much ours. Ukraine reinforced that. Panama canal is back under our influence. Reminding Mexico the gulf is ours, not theirs. Canada is in an identity crisis.

    However, Trump learned from many failed experiences of others. Never attack mother Russia. China does not want Russians to be in good terms with US

    This moron @Space Ghost really said "Trump has a room full of great generals" lol trump hired a foxnews host with no management experience to run the Pentagon while firing a 4 star general as head of military only to replace him with a retired 3 star general lol. If democrats had done that these same morons would be crying DEI.

    Its so easy to be a white republican cuz your braindead cult worships you regardless what you do.

    Many of Trumps cabinet picks were Democrats previously. Lutnick donated and campaigned for Hillary. Scott Bassett was a democrat. As was Tulsi. Sacks is African. Most diverse cabinet ever.
    Yourr stuck with AOC and clutzy Waltz. Waltz legit worse than palin

    What about the guy who sucks at golf so much he's a habitual cheater (on the courses he ostensibly owns), and also has a certain level of advanced dementia?

    "But I didn't vote for that guy"

    "But I'm not a Republican"

    Uh-huh.

    In the Ukraine thread he claimed if Ukraine cared peace they would exclusively buy Russian military so they can build a relationship with Putin lol.

    Why the **** would the country that got invaded by Russia suddenly exclusively buy weapons from that country. He's such an idiot that I don't know if he's trolling or he's serious

    Scary stuff.

    In the end, all this tariff and government efficiency crap could just be subterfuge to mask the real pilfering that's going on behind closed doors.

    Oh yea, I think its clear there not simply trying to find "waste" and "fraud", data is just as lucrative to the tech Bros, they can see what the government has against them in certain Labor disputes, alter that info or simply delete it or tell the king and he will fire them.

    IMO that's why musk "volunteered"

    By the way, where is all this fraud and abuse? Firing people and cancelling contracts that Congress has already approved to pay is not what I thought this was about...............was this the grand plan? No science research, no aid, worse SS service, no National Weather, worse services for Vets. You needed DOGE for this? Hell, DOGE cant even be honest about the majority of their findings. Is there waste in Congress, absolutely, is there corruption, absolutely but there really going to find a maga rich person committing fraud and they will call it out LOL. This is the work of Congress and maga is in charge but there too weak to actually do anything. They want a buffer and so does trump so if anything goes bad, they can blame it on elmo


    NEW YORK (AP) — The latest government waste touted by billionaire Elon Musk’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency is hundreds of millions of dollars in fraudulent unemployment claims it purportedly uncovered.

    One problem: Federal investigators already found what appears to be the same fraud, years earlier and on a far greater scale.

    In a post last week on X, the social media site Musk owns, DOGE announced “an initial survey of unemployment insurance claims since 2020” found 24,500 people over the age of 115 had claimed $59 million in benefits; 28,000 people between the ages of 1 and 5 collected $254 million; and 9,700 people with birthdates more than 15 years in the future garnered $69 million from the government.

    The tweet drew a predictable party-line reaction of either skepticism or cheers, including from Musk himself, who said what his team found was “so crazy” he re-read it several times before it sank in.
