A) yes I believe you say truth B) how would trump make money by destroying the credit rankings? Don’t rich bank people make money when they can effectively evaluate risks?

Lol. U only say that cause he has more convictions than Jerry Seinfeld has cars.

This is what I’m saying man. We should resist, but it cannot be just one person, it has to be many so that Trump cannot get rid of all of us at once.

We should allow any 1 of the 50 states prosecute the federal gov. Its the only way to balance stuff out if the President is the person making all the appointments

But we don’t have the excuse that Germany did in the 1920s when they let Hitler take over. Our situation isn’t anywhere near bad enough to turn our trust over to such a mad man.

“But her emails!”

I don’t know why everyone thinks America is in such deep trouble. Our medium family income, still way higher than rest of world. The number of people who starve to death in America is rock-bottom compared to basically everywhere in Asia and Africa. And since the 1970s crime has been on a steady downward trajectory.

Our country was doing just fine people just think that it was going to the shitter so that they could sell your snake oil 

I agree with this. Every now and then I think I meet someone who really is worried about grocery prices but then I thought well no cause that just means they’re more worried about grocery store prices and they are about race bigotry in xenophobia.

Sorry I wasn’t saying that there should be open war. I mean like, I don’t know, what if Trump and Musk both happen to get some sorta serious food poisoning while visiting the G8 Summit or something. Wouldn’t that suck?

:)

I’m not saying I want this to happen, but I wonder if having Trump, Vance and Musk around becomes such an issue that a different country decides that they’re a national security threat and decides that they must be “removed”…

Maybe not for USAid; but it makes me very concerned that Elon Musk might have information about intelligence operations overseas, and he could literally spoil operation and put other people at risk … it just grinds my gears that he has so much government information and he hasn’t even gone through a confirmation hearing of any sort. 

This is why we need USAID. I know what the GOP thinks, that we have all this money and we’re just sending it off to other countries. But that money was doing a few things for us, it was stopping underdeveloped countries in developing into a state of Terrorism, and it was providing peaceful, democratic countries that would buy our exports.

Imagine, just for a moment, that the fall of the Soviet Union occurred, and the only person around willing to send medical supplies, food packets, money, cloths, and retail products to Eastern block states is China…the influence a country would have over an entire region would be enormous. Same thing with Africa, and the Middle East. How horrible would it have been to have all of the Middle East in the hands of a global/economic competitor.

We need a US diplomatic and functional presence overseas.

I would call for the GOP to reinstate the USAID office and its workers ASAP…but those bitch-ass m’fuckers ain’t never gonna read this.

I feel bad for anyone in Alabama who actually voted Blue. Same as Trxas, its deep red- but I have a huge number of friends who had to relocate to Houston because our company moved their headquarters there and now they’re stuck in this little island of liberal surrounded by gun toting Republicans…

To me it’s not about being “rich” or a billionaire, it’s about staying “Rich” by exploiting others OR the law. Trump is a prime example of human trash that has millions(Or billions if you believe him) but he’s just about the poorest person I have ever heard of him you measure his integrity.

I might be a dumb poor person, but I know what my financial priorities are. A) Medications for my kids, B) The limited edition 1994 Sports Illustrated football telephone.

Trickle-down economics will always fail unless three things are true.

A) there is no crime of corruption taking place with the money that has to trickle B) all the money the rich make has to trickle, it cannot be saved for later or used to buy shit that cannot be resold(like Gov bonds or island properties on the beach) C) money “earned” by the companies production must make its way back to the bottom, u cannot just take billions and give it to other rich people and expect them to do the trickle part. People must be paid for their labor or contributions to the up and trickle down of money.

I wonder if we’re gonna get to the point where judges and governors have to raise their own armies to protect themselves from Trump and then start a little mini wars with each other… terrifying future I didn’t predict 

Why do we even have confirmation hearings?

That’s what I’m saying man. I’m sick of Russia and their interference. I hope someone fights back against Russia/Putin cause it’s clear that our President won’t.

Or maybe the Rabbies and Jewish-Community leaders are smart and realize that harsh/cruel treatment of other groups in the Middle East just opens Israel up to more violent attacks and further terrorist threats. I know this sounds like a hard pill to swallow, but if Trump really does force out all the Gazans, it will paint a bullseye on American interests in the Middle East for years. Including Israel.
