Can you imagine donating to a kid and/or his parents....who killed another kid....and then admitted it to the police?
Not me.

If the races were reversed, GoFundMe and other crowdfunding apps would have shut that down quick.
 
Well honestly, it turns itself off too when you shift into drive. Well, if you have your seatbelt on that is. So for the most part you don’t really even have to do anything.

When they go bad, they go bad.... Supposed to be able to turn them off but then you have no e-brake... OR, they turn back on by their self...

Kind of like printers when you replace the ink. They will go through three or four pages of printing to "realign" the cartridges... In reality they are just ink wasters on purpose.... I stop them all before they start and never had a print alignment issue ever using multiple printers... Just saved myself being able to print a dozen or few more pages.

The Kentucky Kremlin Club is being their usual apologetic selfs.

Lutnick was on TV defending 10% Tarif on the penguin island and british indian island that only has a US base on it by saying if they didn't tariff them that they would be used a proxies to get around tariffs from other countries.

Bessent was on TV saying its because the ongoing negotiations, yet Ukraine received the baseline 10% tariff as well.

Perception alone you would have thought they would have included the 10% tariff on Mother Russia along with the penguins.
Yet he didn't, so just like you, I don't get it either.
This is like the bitching about eggs….focusing on something that is many magnitudes smaller than the real issues.

Russia is not our biggest trade problem, not even close to it. Your focus on this is to deflect from the reality that your ideological fellow travelers are the ones that created this economic disaster over the last 40 years.

You think talking about Russia makes us forget that? You better think again. Your people are out protesting for government waste, criminal aliens and economic destruction. We see it, and we won’t forget. Ideologically, you have nowhere to hide anymore.
 



President Trump "gave himself maximum negotiating leverage — and just when he has achieved the maximum leverage, he's willing to start talking."









Fake News right???? Gotta be.... We NEED more TAXPAYER tax dollars!!!!! United States TAXPAYER dollars!!!!! Get with the program! United States TAXPAYERS must fund the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With certain sects getting their "cut"...
 
Not that it was ever a big mystery, but it looks like Bessent just confirmed it.


Bessent: Federal layoffs will help fill factory jobs created by Trump tariffs​


“On one side, the president is reordering trade,” Bessent said. “On the other side, we are shedding excess labor in the federal government, and bringing down federal borrowings.”

“That will give us the labor that we need for the new manufacturing,” Bessent continued, arguing artificial intelligence and automation would limit how many workers needed to fill new jobs.

Bessent said the combination of tariffs and federal layoffs would help shift U.S. economic power away from the government and back toward the private sector. The secretary claimed without evidence that the U.S. private sector was in recession under the Biden administration despite a historic level of private job creation under Trump’s latest predecessor.

“It’s almost like when a bodybuilder is taking steroids,” Bessent explained. “Outside, it looks great. You’re muscular. Inside, you’re killing your vital organs. That’s what was going on here.”
 
Good news, but I wouldn't be fooled by Roberts every other case tango where he makes some asinine ruling. He just makes a rational decision every so often to throw us off the scent on how compromised he is.

I am hopeful, it is the other way around... I can still hope...
 
This SHOULD clear the way for Trump’s agenda to pick up speed. However, with Roberts there’s no telling what he’ll do next.

Also today, Roberts at least put a temporary hold on the deadline the MS-13 gang member that was ordered returned by midnight tonight. That guy never was going to be coming back anyway. Enjoy that El Salvadorian prison buddy.

And yeah, nobody trusts Roberts. Somewhere down the line he will hurt Trump's agenda in some decisions, but we got some wins today.












To the earlier post about Boasberg's ruling being vacated, another 5-4 decision. Barret with the liberals, she is just as untrustworthy as Roberts:

While I agree with him......can't you just see some of these uppity Fed workers who have sat behind a desk going to work in a factory?
 
We already have tons of financial sanctions on them, and we are actively trying to negotiate a peace deal. Edit: a quick look on the interwebz stated we only had like 3.5 billion in trade between the 2 nations in 2024. So, there isn't much there to begin with compared to the trade with other nations. Lemme guess, "Russian collusion?"
Only 3.5 billion but he managed to tariff the economic powerhouses of Sri Lanka and Lesotho (put a 50% tariff on them and we trade about $250 million with them). Let’s be honest, Trump is Putins bitch

Sir, sir, sir... Plenty uppity people without them all being feds... I work as hard as you can work but still sit in a chair...now. Spent most of my life crawling under houses and running hammer drills. (I learned how to code... well, almost...)
 
We've been listening to "economists" for 50 years. Now we are 40T in debt. I would say it is time for a new opinion.
Economists not politicians have been saying it needs to reeked back in
Economist are where the monetary policies come from
You’re anti intellectual crusades are going to send us backwards not forwards
 




"In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.


The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb."
 
Christ Almighty.

The only reason we didn't end up in a nuclear war was because of Putin's restraint.

People from the Biden regime need to be tried for TREASON.

I know. Wasn't ragging on hard workers at all.....especially you. I could say the same thing as I said about uppity 'business/corporate' people going to work at a factory. So....whether Fed workers or corporate workers.....can't see them going willingly and happily to work at a factory.

Like I said I basically agree with what the Secretary was saying...about the numbers of people/workers.....but it's a lot like telling people who lose their job to 'learn how to code'. Many people are happy with their job, their income, etc and are not happy with any wholesale change.

Wait ... the stock market didn't have the biggest crash on record?? Oh man .. i bet the lefties are torn up about what to bitch about, huh? Yesterday, they were going daffy duck meme thinking about a crash...
 
So, if Trump follows through with a further 50 percent tariff on China, it is, at that point, essentially an embargo on Chinese goods. Because, at THAT price point, you might as well make iPhones in America.

Let them chew on THAT for a while. 🤣

That flushing sound you hear is China's economy going down the toilet.
