That's a super long blurb. Could be a problem. Long prose is good when you have a story to tell, but you should probably trim that down a lot! The "ladies" asking you for money and your Signal username are probably dudes in Africa or Asia, anyway.
Good luck and I hope to see some of the ladies on here share their opinion, too. |

How’s my profile?

I checked and it's an OK profile. Not very interesting, but covers the basics. Some notes: Learn where your camera lens is when snapping a selfie. Maybe get a friend to take the picture and you can easily look at the camera lens.
"I have a good job" is not an occupation. Try using a title like "propane salesman" or "electrician" or "international arms dealer" or whatever you do, as appropriate. I found your blurb a little boring, and while I'd try harder to be funny and intriguing, it's still better than nothing, and maybe that's the real you, and maybe the woman you seek is the type that can read between the lines. But for the profile that could probably use a minor rewrite and some better photos, I'd only rate it 7/10. Good luck! |

You mean ‘Buffalo Chips act, Hundai , Honda, and American cars bring their manufacturing back to US including engines and most other parts. That along with the cutting of useless jobs from government boondoggles is good for the future of this country . A little short term pain for long term gain. It had to happen sometime. The alternative is not feasible and unsustainable. Canada was charging us 300% tariffs on lumber. Is that fair?
American car manufacturing coming back to the us? Tariff-related layoffs hit five US auto plants that supply factories in Canada and Mexico www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/business/tariff-related-layoffs-hit-five-us-auto-plants/index.html Trump's tariffs on all imports are clobbering businesses all over, but the auto industry is getting hurt by their business practice of moving assemblies across borders in their manufacturing process, and the 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel make it unprofitable to build cars in the US. I checked and couldn't find anything about Canada charging a 300% tariff on lumber. There is an anti-dumping tariff on dairy products, (up to 250%) but the US never exported enough dairy for that to kick in. And now many Canadians are boycotting US products, so even less. |

The Catholics elected a new Pope today
![]() www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/world/pope-leo-xiv-robert-prevost-wwk-intl-latam I'll apologize right away for people of other religions, or of no religion if discussing this offends, but I was following this more closely after recently watching the movie "Conclave" starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow. I had also seen "The Two Popes" a few years back,--also an excellent film! I'm not a Catholic, anymore, but I found Pope Francis very charming on TV, and hope the best for the new guy, Pope Leo XIV. Anybody else follow this story, or have opinions about the related movies? |

I don’t assume I know anything about Russias arsenal and I don’t think you do either. I think you are just parroting what you hear from people on the left that want to make themselves sound like they have inside knowledge. I’m not buying it. But I do believe that Trump would have stopped Russia from invading. Biden told Putin a small incursion would be acceptable. Biden was negotiating with Putin? When? When he was calling him a war criminal and said his regime should be overthrown. Some negotiating skills..
I only based my 50% failure rate on the published statistics from the war in Ukraine, where Russian cruise missiles often land so short of their target that they hit Russian cities, and several major hardware failed because of theft. The post-nuke strike strategy is just NATO doctrine. Nobody really knows how a nuclear war would go with Russia, but I'd guess that Russia would be way more open about their testing if they knew their stuff worked. |

230,000 jobs created in march.. manufacturing jobs that grow our economy, not government jobs like Biden liked to count on that bleed our country’s resources , that’s the differance between Trump and Biden. Trump grows our economy , Biden grows government., China products are terrible cheaply made junk. I don’t mind paying a little more for quality goods and keeping my money in America. Trump is doing all the right things to bring america back from the Biden doldrums the last four years.
Where do you see that those were manufacturing jobs? I checked the report at www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf and it shows <1% of the 228K jobs were manufacturing. I guess it'd be overly optimistic of me to expect you to support your claim. I’ll put my beliefs in the experts that report on it, not the bias reports coming from the jerks that have denied any support for Trump whatsoever. Trillions of $$$ of investments coming in to our country and you sore losers won’t acknowledge any progress from Trump and company.. so sad to be that much of a hater.. The BLS isn't for/against anybody. They just track the numbers. So if you've got a beef with them, the bias is all yours. Also, your point about investment coming into our country is a bit premature, since the tariffs are fostering a mountain of ill will toward the US. We've seen the boycotts from Canada and Europe, and this thing has only just started. The tariffs are so stupid, even Trump's own team won't tell you what's going on. You've been told that the tariffs are reciprocal, when most of the countries he's levied tariffs on had no tariffs on the US. And while most of the countries had a trade surplus vs. the US, even the countries that had a trade deficit (according to Trump, They're getting ripped-off) they still got a 10% tariff. All you've got to show for it is the garbage that Trump tells you. You think $trillions are coming into the country? All the investment that Trump has called out so far is from Biden's CHIPS Act, that was going to come in, anyway. See, that's what happens when you put your beliefs in what you want to hear. |

Looking for slam Master

Since this topic is in the "Rate My Profile" forum . . . ![]() I think you need to keep in mind that not everyone on this site are looking for a traditional man-woman relationship. There are many people with different kinks, and/or looking for a same-sex relationship that you may not like. Get over yourself and try to be objective. With that in mind, I think SleazySlamSlave has a profile that could use some more work. The profile photos are somewhat redundant & the text blurb is short. The photos are basically the same pic (the 1st & 3rd are identical). On the other hand, it's well-lit and framed, so it could just be a favorite shot. I know it's not easy to get a good shot with lighting and focus, so OK, but maybe it'd be better to also post another photo in a nice outfit, or out in an interesting place. At first look, I thought this might be a fake account to embarrass someone, so maybe give that some thought. The text blurb could say a lot more, but if that slam session is all he wants, then I guess there's no need for more. Hard to judge since I'm not into that, but the text does make it clear to those *not* looking for that, too. Nice filter! Some of the biographical information is missing, like whether he smokes and religious affiliation, and while smoking/non is important to me, maybe he's trying to say it's not important. So while SleazySlamSlave's focus is extraordinarily narrow, and the directness is jarring, the profile probably says as much as really needed, and people looking for that will probably recognize it. But for the redundant photos and the missing information, I can only rate it 7/10. Good luck! |

Not everybody has the good sense to see that Ukraine becoming another NATO member would probally push Putin the brink of launching nukes. .. If you back a dog into the corner, that dog is gonna fight.. Biden’s idea of diplomacy is to demonize the adversaries before trying to negotiate. Not a good plan for success..but that’s how the dems roll.
Biden was negotiating with Russia way before any demonization, and Russia wasn't having any of it. Russia promised they weren't going to invade Ukraine despite all actual intelligence on the matter showed the opposite. Troop formations and international monetary activity showed anybody willing to look that Russia was set on attacking Ukraine. That's why Biden exposed it, and why Russia went ahead with it anyway. The operation was years in the making so it happened. Coincidentally, it would've happened even if Trump won reelection. However, it's also unlikely that Putin will resort to nukes. Firstly, because that would be a huge escalation that even Russia doesn't want. Even if *only* Ukraine was struck by nukes, the NATO countries would rightfully have to respond by taking out all the Russian nuclear delivery systems. Every Russian ICBM-carrying submarine, military installation and strategic bomber (they've only got a few dozen) would be targeted by systems that have been built to fly deep into Russia to take them out. Secondly, Russia's nuclear stockpile is completely unreliable. They've gone decades without the needed maintenance, and even Russia's newest missiles have a 50% failure rate. You think a Russian ICBM still exists that hasn't fallen into disrepair or had its copper wiring stripped to pay for someone's vodka? I don't. |

Trump Is Openly Bragging About Crashing the Stock Market

It’s called negotiations or negotiating , something Biden never had the brain capacity to engage in with other leaders . Instead Biden would bend over and take it you know where. Now we know why with the books coming out about his four years of dillusion and brain drsease..Trump and his supporters know this country is now on the right track to make America the top dog again.. in strength , economy , education and manufacturing. We owned that spot at one time and We can get there again with TRUMP at the helm…
Not likely. Trump has started a trade war. There are no winners in a trade war, and since trump has levied tariffs on *every* other country, it's going to hurt us the most. Our prices will go up, and the other countries will just trade more with each other. The US will lose international influence and China will be ascendant. And seriously, what is Trump trying to accomplish with this trade war. He wants more stuff made in the USA. For what? So we can pay more for the stuff we used to buy from China or South America? He's trying to dismantle the global free market, but factories in China and Vietnam aren't going to just stop making stuff because the US makes the same thing. And US unemployment is already down to about 4%, so who's going to work in those new factories in Trump's dream? In the mean time, the US population will be stuck paying more for the things we buy and the rest of the world will grow animosity toward the US and boycott US-made stuff, as is happening now in Canada and Europe. I hope you're happy. Trump is an imbecile. |

The fact is, Trump never had a choice. The U.S. sits at 125% debt-to-GDP. The higher the GDP ratio, the more of the country’s income goes toward servicing debt. If the United States doesn’t get this under control, even its military will be at risk. What do you mean? Never had a choice? The tariffs are completely crashing US and international markets, and if this was about the national debt, they could simply raise taxes, including on the highest incomes. Back in 1930, congress passed Smoot Hawley Tariff Act to raise revenues, and it caused widespread market turmoil, unemployment and actually lower revenues until it was reversed in 1932. It caused the "Great Depression." Higher marginal tax rates are what we had back in the 1950s and the country and markets were stronger than ever before. Of course the upper class made sure to squash that, since they were paying a top marginal tax rate of over 90%. But now Trump wants the country to "suffer for the country" regardless of how much it costs. Trump has several choices on how to handle things, but he's starting a trade war. It's like the dumbest option. But that's Trump. |

Right before the war began and tensions were very high, I looked up what it was all about.
If that was correct, it is the US that caused this. What I read... Ukraine wants to be part of the west and as such it had to join NATO, whether it wanted that or not. NATO = US basically, forcing other countries to allow their military bases and meddling in the member countries. If Ukraine would join the west and for that had to join NATO America could also have bases on Russia's doorstep and Russia did not want that. Can you blame them? I can't. Quite logical. You don't want your arch enemy that close, within shooting and spying distance. The whole "join the west, MUST join NATO & MUST allow military bases" is what caused this shizzel to occur. If Russia had had a similar thing with Mexico and would then be able to have Russian military bases on America's doorstep we'd have a war as well. America would go ballistic, just like what happened with Russia & Ukraine. They could've sorted it, saved everyone a helluva lot of money and save a lot of lives if a compromise had been made: Allow Ukraine to join the west to trade etc. WITHOUT the military bases. Again, if this info is correct then I totally understand why Russia did what it did. Doesn't mean I agree with this war or what has happened and is happening, but I do agree America should take its finger out of every pie in the world. As it is there aren't even a handful of countries that could take on America if need be. Russia is one of them. The ones that want & try to control the world also reside in the US for a big part, although these days I do suspect also in the EU. That means we cannot have the US be all-powerful. Personally I'm not chuffed about the opposing countries that (can) keep the balance, but without them America would be way too powerful. In any case, based on that info I read, this war could have been prevented if only a compromise was reached. For instance no NATO bases in Ukraine. I believe Russia would have agreed, albeit cautiously. I believe the only reason it escalated is that America refused to even think of backing down from having military bases in Ukraine. This whole "Yes, join the west, it's great!!" thing is just a (American) power scheme to get military bases in as many countries as possible. The ultimatum of "yes you can join, but only if you allow our bases" is sheer manipulation and part of a carefully construed plan. At least Russia is smart enough to see that. The result of that scheme is what has been going on in Ukraine since. NATO member nations are not obligated to allow US bases in their countries. And Russia already had NATO member nations on their border. Why would Ukraine be more hazardous than Turkey, Latvia or Estonia? And since the war started Finland joined NATO, which has more than 1200 km of border with Russia. If your argument was that the US was dead set on basing troops in Ukraine, then what about when Trump even offered to forbid US troops in Ukraine or even allowing Ukraine to join NATO? Russia has never agreed to a ceasefire, or any reasonable arrangement to end the war short of Ukraine's belonging to Russia. No, Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine because he wanted to take over that country. He tells Russia that it's not a valid country and that Ukraine and Ukrainians aren't even a thing. He says they're all Russians, and that "Ukrainians" should be eliminated. That, of course, goes against current and pre-Soviet history, and is not at all what he officially based his invasion on. In fact, for over a year, they couldn't even call it an invasion or even a war, and instead had to call it a "special military operation." But, yeah, you probably could get a different story if you're reading Russia Today or some other pro-Russian news source. |

So you thought the stock market would grow while Trump was cleaning up the incompetence and corruption from the democrats last four years in office. Please use a little common sense in your thoughts. There will be a slight decline in 401ks and other investments but the results of saving Billions or trillions of waste will be good for everybody. You dems would rather see the US go down in flames just to spite Trump. Lol. Grow up democrats . You bunch of sore losers.
No, I knew Trump would be bad for the markets. Just like his first term. Only back then, he seemed to be doing it by tweets, where he'd threaten various economic efforts that hurt one part of the economy or another. Now, Trump's trying to replay the Smoot Hawley tariffs of 1930 to see if he can do it without recreating The Great Depression. We can all see that Trump is a hot mess. He's only in his first few months, but we're already seeing the supply chain chaos that he left us with in 2021, with the egg shortages that he seems to have no intention to work on. Maybe he can bring it full circle in the next few months with the Bird Flu outbreaks and we run out of toilet paper and shelf-stable groceries. And what are these savings you mention? Cutting Social Security? Firing IRS agents doesn't save money. The IRS brings in the most money and cutting staff there actually raises the debt. Not to mention that the Trump/DOGE firings are illegal and are just getting reversed by federal judges, so those workers have to be hired back with back pay, so we got no work from them while they were laid off, but we paid them anyway. This is asinine. I'm sure all the easy cuts were made long ago, but you seem to think we'll save $triillions from the government layoffs. Maybe you can elaborate. |

D Trump has already made more deals than J Biden has made in all his days as a president of US.
Biden administration was a Complete failure for the success of America and its citizens. Yes, Biden spent his entire term in office turning around the mess Trump left him in 2021, with record stock market levels and the lowest unemployment rates anybody's ever seen, and Trump is wrecking the economy within his first 100 days.

Trump's targets for 'reciprocal' tariffs include uninhabited islands but exclude Russia and Iran
abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-targets-reciprocal-tariffs-include-uninhabited-islands-exclude/story?id=120445283 Trump went so crazy with tariffs that he included "reciprocal" tariffs on an uninhabited island. No word on how the penguins there are dealing with these new economic challenges. And interestingly, Trump levied no tariffs on his puppet masters in Russia. |

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/trump-california-transgender-parental-notification.html Btw If laws do not want to be followed you can homeschool the children. The law in California is the other way around. It stops school districts from forcing teachers to notify parents when the students still need privacy. Apparently, coming out as trans can be a delicate situation, and some parents don't take it well. I'd imagine that the parent who actually sees the student would have more than a clue as to what's going on. No need to force a teacher to get between them. It's not that big of a deal. Teachers can talk to parents if they like. It's just that the school districts cannot require it. www.politico.com/news/2025/03/27/trump-administration-investigates-californias-forced-outing-law-00253931 More likely, this is just something to distract you from the mess that Trump is making everywhere else. Trump is eliminating the Department of Education and half of the rest of the federal government. They're trying to prove that government doesn't work by breaking it. |

For those that haven’t had their head up their *** , the radical gender benders screwing over our children have been practicing their sick perverted ideas for years. Only the dishonest dems refuse to admit it…Biden and the dems were the ones trying to ruin our economy. Trump is fixing it. It’s a real joy to see you dems losing your minds and destroying your party’s future for upcoming elections.. What "sick perverted ideas?" The part that's bugging me is Trump's lawlessness. He brought in a billionaire consultant, who held no office, but took it upon himself to break into government agency offices and compromise data systems, lacking the requisite security clearances, and had fired the people who were supposed to regulate and investigate such crimes. Musk claimed it was to root out waste fraud and abuse, but just messed things up. What is Trump fixing? |

Back to the original topic. The golden age now upon us thanks to Trump and DOGE. That’s seems to be the opposite w/ dems. Their new rant is Doge is ruining the American dream . Really? In their mind the American dream is to defraud the American taxpayer to pay for immoral and anti American ideals, their dream is to keep illegal immigrants in our country and we can pay to house them while they rape and murder our children and others. Their dream is to keep destroying the education system and keep failing to teach our children . Radical gender choice for elementary children without parental consent or knowledge. These people are sick , twisted and perverted to their miserable souls.. but no worry’s because the Trump agenda is going to get done .. Radical gender choice for elementary children? Do you even know what you mean? Because what it looks like is that you just heard Trump say it and are repeating it here without question. And yeah, Trump doesn't care about ruining the economy if he can pretend to deport more immigrants, legal or not, than Obama or Biden. Watch the Dow Jones and our 401(k)s tumble halfway to zero, but Stephen Miller will sing Donald's praises because they hate brown people. Got it. |
