The PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. The man of the people...if they told truth about him...he might be beloved by millions more. That is why they don't tell the truth. But a solid majority of the people now know, and that is why he won.







Caldwell: "It was incredibly humbling to have a conversation in the Oval Office with President Trump about the work the Institute is doing, and it was even more humbling to learn he was already aware. I grew up on the south side of Chicago in poverty, and I NEVER could have imagined this moment growing up, but with God, all things are possible"

Long overdue.

I know that Trump was distracted (Russia, Russia, etc) his first term...really didn't know what he was doing the first year or more of it....had some bad hires....and so forth. But, did he never know or hear about all the crap with USAID? And never tried to do anything about it?
Or did he and that's the reason DOGE headed there first?

He’s had four years to plot his response to what he saw during his first term. Dems cheating in 2020 was actually in the providence of God

is State law allowed to override a Federal Law? pretty sure Trump didn't say it was left up to the states. I was always under the impression that Federal Law is the supreme law of the land and overrides it.

1) About time

Well I can assure you if you want to target the top by taxing loan proceeds or “wealth” (including unrealized income), those taxes will be applied to the middle class long before those taxes help to fix any “wealth disparity”.

It’s what always happens. The income tax. Alternative minimum tax. Etc. It starts as a “tax on the rich” and always works its way down.

If you start by taxing Bezos because he wants to buy a yacht without liquidating Amazon, no doubt you’ll move to taxing Joe the plumber because he wants to buy a bass boat without selling his house.

Fair enough. I think it would behoove me to keep how I “think” the government should operate to myself. I do appreciate those that have taken the time to further explain things to me. I get excited when I see how excited you guys get when news drops these days. I’m

I’m currently reading the book “The Rational Optimist”. It’s a great book. Not a super easy read but incredibly interesting. Basically goes through society from the stone ages to present day and shows what works and what doesn’t. I think you’d really like it.

I bookmarked this. Once things slow down at home, I’ll check this out.

I know he can pull Federal funding if they don't comply.

That's because a large faction of the MAGA movement is Gen X. That describes Gen X to a tee. They poked the sleeping Bear and Gen X is in charge now.

Trump is Gen X? Then what the hell is Gen X?

Average house price in US in 2024 is $419,200 or 8 times the median income.

What's the median house price? Don't mix average house price with median income & then try to make a point.

What they don't understand is that post WW2 through about the 80's, those 1200' Cracker boxes were what the middle class were living in.

Ands with 3-8 kids to boot.

 

[Cleatortoises]

I'm rooting for taxes to remain as they are & the deficit to go down due to spending cuts. I don't see Trump & Congress in the same place & a fight coming. Trump talks about lower taxes w/o a way to pay for them - bigger deficits. His lower taxes won't be paid for by the spending cuts DOGE is working on. So you tell me who I'm rooting for. Answer: I'm rooting for an outcome, not any one person.

Try the Laffer curve.
Lower taxes increase disposable income allowing the consumer to spend more increasing GDP.
Time tested tried and true.
They pay for themselves.
Who is the DA?

 

[vhcat70]

Not much we agree on but this is one. Just because you work hard and make money doesn't mean you should have to pay a higher tax rate imo. But you should have to pay more in taxes on items that nobody else in society can afford. Six percent on daily items but 8 percent on a yacht seems fair. Economists smarter than me would have to figure it out. Billionaires have so many income based tax loopholes already.

Watch the jobs lost by yacht builders.

Now look at the how the purchasing power of the Dollar has declined since its inception

$20 gold piece has 0.97 oz Au. So $ is worth ~1/150 of value when the pieces were produced.

The cuts are only partially paid for with increased economic actively.

The vibe shift, as the kids are calling it these days, is unbelievable

 

[warrior-cat]

I am not an angry person but I really do wish the absolute worst for all of these people in government who have been part of this charade. I hope they all lose their jobs, go to jail, go bankrupt, their spouses leave them, their kids hate them. The list goes on and on…

They deserve that and more. They have been stealing from the American people for years.

The Vance tweets make me think back to RFK’s endorsement speech when he said something along the lines of, can we just love our kids more than we hate each other.

Watching the shift from lefty bullshit to the VP being willing to call out the left for their bullshit trying to destroy a kid for stupid ignorant comments, gives me hope.

Democrat states and business owners are shameless. I notice some things are going even higher in price when there's absolutely no reason for them to. Dem busniess owners are trying to win back voters now by making up prices. Despicable.

Isn't that price gouging?

For sure and it's absolutely happening. Since it's mainly about the economy, now they are going to stoop even lower and make people feel pain in hopes to win them back IMO.

You bring up a good point because white people are in the minority on this topic as other countries have got houses to all live together especially Indians. Meanwhile, we are all told to leave at 18 and I gladly did, I loved going on my own. But if you want to set someone up financially, it's great to not do that.

My daughter is 19 now and doing online college courses and also learning about investing in stocks and bonds. Since I retired over 4 years ago at 63 and started SS she was under 18 and we received over $1000.00 dollars more a month because of her until she graduated HS. Every bit of it was put in a savings account for her to use whenever she turned 18. She had about 40k in the bank when she started investing some of it with her mother's help and has grown what she has invested at a decent amount. She will continue to do so until she is ready to go out on her own. The one thing I will say about her is, she is frugal with her money and rarely touches what's left in the bank.

This would be one of my top priorities on a revenge tour and it's outside of the 1/6 Hoax purview.

Another example of the Dems using brown and black people. You know they will try to say Trump is a racist for keeping them out of the building. And of course the Dems made sure the media was there to cover the story.
