Trump leading the USA into bankruptcy?

US Tourism Freefall Drains $29 Billion From Economy

Nice try. Trump's case against CNN was dismissed back in 2023.

And sure, he "won" the election, no small thanks to the billionaires who helped him so they wouldn't get their taxes raised. But my question above was not about the election, but rather court cases. Trump's losing most of his.

Maybe you missed the story, but Democratic Senator Bob Menendez was already convicted. Democrats led the effort to remove him. It was somewhat refreshing after Republicans pretended that Matt Gaetz didn't drug & rape 17-year-olds.

So what's the actual crime for supporting Biden? Can you point to the law broken?

And Congressional Republicans have been investigating the Obamas, Clintons and Bidens for the decades and found no crimes. They sent all the files from Hunter Biden's laptop to the press (revenge porn?) and found no crimes on it, so they complained about some cover-up. Why should Democrats review that empty hole when Trump was already indicted for almost 100 charges before they ran out of time?

I get it that regarding facts isn't your thing, but Trump is costing the country $trillions in debt and bad faith with our national allies. Thought he could make friends with Putin, Xi & Kim, and is now just a national joke. We're not winning. Things are getting worse, and soon, Trump's cover-ups wont work anymore. There'll be no way to hide the higher unemployment and inflation caused by the tariffs.

There are the 34 felony convictions for fraud, and can you name even one case that Trump's won with Alina Habba as his lawyer?

Yeah, I get it that you accept everything The Donald tells you, but if you cared to look around, you'd know it's false. His administration had to change the way the collected data to make economic statistics look good for him, and nobody in government is allowed to contradict the dope.

Most of the tariffs don't take effect until August. The metal tariffs have already started, but manufacturing takes a while to work through the system, and elsewhere, prices are largely unchanged or a bit higher, except where merchants stockpiled pre-tariff goods in anticipation of all this nonsense. Once those supplies run out, we get higher prices, and the countries that used to import US goods are now boycotting.

But I'm sure you consider this winning.

Good point! I heard that Trump deliberately shopped the case to Florida, hoping that it'd go to Aileen Cannon. No such luck!

Hah. That would be hilarious if Trump wins, because the WSJ has become a MAGA tabloid, but it'll also mean that Trump with his incompetent lawyers will sit through hours of recorded depositions under oath, and Trump's mind is so gone, he can't even tell what's real, anymore. Can you imagine the legion of sanctions against him for perjury? I can!

Wooh. This didn't take long...

White House retaliates against Wall Street Journal over Trump-Epstein story

So much for transparency, huh? The Trump Administration really is a clown show.

Trump's tariffs are asinine and illegal. Among Americans, they're unpopular with only Trump's biggest fans saying they like the tariffs. And anybody with brains knows the tariffs are just another tax on consumers, since the importers are not going to "eat the tariffs" as Trump insisted. If Walmart or Amazon get around to breaking out the cost of the tariffs, as previously suggested, then popular support for them will drop a lot further.

Ultimately, tariffs or no, Trump is still an imbecile.

Trump sues WSJ, Rupert Murdoch and two reporters for Epstein letter story
www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/07/18/trump-sues-wsj-rupert-murdoch-slander/85282651007/


I think this is funny, because:

1. WSJ & Rupert Murdoch knew Trump would probably sue, so they definitely took care to get the story right.
2. The WSJ article clearly states Trump's objections, but also clearly states the evidence.
3. If Trump really is sick of people bringing up Epstein, it's not like suing will make the story go away
4. Trump posted something about making Murdoch testify, but worse for Trump is getting him recorded for deposition.
5. Murdoch controls Fox News, so we'll see how it goes after so many prime-time stories about Epstein with Trump
6. Even if Trump was right (he's not), does anybody see $10 billion in damages to Trump? I don't.

I'm betting this never goes to trial, and that Trump's withdraws, instead of Murdoch settling.

Not telling Democrats to swallow anything. Just presenting replies to the absolute garbage that tries to defend President Trump. The guy's an imbecile and has lately, more and more, shows signs of dementia. It's kind of sad, really. And boisterous posts, here, proclaiming that Trump is great for America and that President Biden destroyed America are ludicrous. Biden did not destroy America. Sure, not everybody agrees with his policies, but he was effective by most metrics, and compares very well against Trump, who gets very little done, beyond numerous posts to his social media app, and meandering blather in front of sycophantic crowds. Happy?

I would be happy to see any evidence that I'm wrong when I say that Trump is an imbecile. Got anything?

It's a profile, but without a photo, or anything personal in it, will be hard to make an impact.

I like that the biographical information was filled out. Good to know that you don't smoke, for example.

Most profiles submitted for review have at least a photo attached, and you don't. I guess it's for privacy reasons, or maybe you just aren't satisfied with the photos you have, but the photo really does help you stand out in a search. That said, lots of photos on this site are fake, anyway, and the savvy users will know that. And if there's someone in your area, looking for someone like you, the photo probably won't make a difference.

Other than the lack of photo, you could at least fill in the text blurb, and maybe select a better headline. Your blurb is empty and the headline is the default "Hi..". Maybe take a few minutes and fill in the blurb with a description of yourself, what you like and what kind of person you seek.

Maybe the man you seek is just looking for a nice, young woman in your area, so you may do alright, regardless. But for the profile that lacks a photo or text blurb--showing very little effort, I can only rate it 2/10.

Good luck!

Counterpoint: Biden's effort to support and defend US interests domestically and internationally are only surpassed by Trump's efforts to personally enrich himself and his family.

You heard Trump talk about deals he made for America on his recent tour across the Middle East, Asia and South America, when in reality, he was lining up $billions in deals for the Trump Organization. He claimed to have made $trillions in deals for American industry, but looking further, nobody found much in the way of investment into the US or anything stronger than letters of intent, with unstated dates or actual amounts to invest. In other words, it was just nice talk, while the Trump Org. lined up $billions in bribes via their meme coin and rent at his numerous resorts.

I don't see how I'm trying to destroy the USA when I bring up that Biden lined up over $1 trillion to invest in the US national infrastructure and bring back manufacturing jobs to the US. I don't see how I hurt any more than your feelings when I write how poorly Trump measures up to President Biden. But maybe you'll take the time to post more than some tangential URL string. Tell us what great things Trump has done.

Trump is a miserable failure of a president. The idiot can barely put a sentence together though he talks ceaselessly, so just blabbering. Don't believe me? Check any transcript of any of his speeches and you'll see where he starts a sentence, then before he can finish it, starts another topic. He calls it "the weave" but it's just meandering talk. The orange dope keeps making promises like "we'll have a plan in two weeks" or "We'll have 90 deals in 90 days." Countless two-weeks later there are no new plans and zero of the 90 deals after 100 days.

Trump's brain is slipping into senility but Trump's biggest gripe is that he cannot watch porn in the White house.

Biden, on the other hand, ran the country much more smoothly. He wasted zero time promoting personally branded memecoins, perfume, watches, bibles or campaign donors' products. Never left states hanging in times of disaster.

Under Biden FEMA pre-staged resources when they knew trouble was coming. Under Trump, victims of tornados and floods can go months without seeing help from FEMA or anything on the federal level. Remember during the presidential campaign where Trump made up claims that Biden was redirecting FEMA funds to pay for immigrants? He wasn't, but facts never stopped Trump from lying about it. And here we are. Trump started his term as an imbecile and is only getting more senile by the day.

No, my post was about cuts in government funding, and the direct results. I understand that Trump can do no wrong in your mind, but I assure you that he's plenty wrong.

Trump and Musk were told that cuts to NOAA would lead to deaths, and they didn't care. They fired the NWS scientists anyway, and dozens of people in Texas are dead only weeks later. Plenty more storms to come.

Yes, it's unfortunate that the country has come to be dependent on the National Weather Service, and accurate weather forecasts. All those weather wonks at the NSA were happily living off the unwise generosity of the federal government, just so people could get extra protection from summer storms stronger than we'd seen in 50 years. But here we are.

14 Children Among 32 Killed As Rescue Efforts Continue

The law is pretty clear on when the President can send the military into states to perform police action like that. If the ICE agents couldn't do their jobs because of the protesters, then maybe Trump could activate the Guard for that, but there was no time when ICE stopped arresting people. And those "agents" are driving around in unmarked vehicles, and "doing their job" with the faces covered and wearing no identification. Just generic military gear like ballistic vests and helmets. Not even a badge.

I'll admit that I cannot find "one proven example." USAID doesn't really do individual acts to save a single person. They gather experts and funding for programs to save thousands or millions over time. And most of the gripes about Trump's DOGE cuts talk about deaths (millions) going forward, but there are the cases where due to the stop-work orders, pallets of food and medicine were left to spoil in warehouses,

And here's a story about children dying in a war zone because the aid shipments that were coming, now won't be:

Children die after USAID funding cuts end lifeline for displaced communities fleeing violence
www.pbs.org/newshour/world/children-die-after-usaid-funding-cuts-end-lifeline-for-displaced-communities-fleeing-violence

I guess you might be right that it's not our responsibility, in a sense. The US is not legally obligated to care about other countries. That was just something we did to be nice and show other countries that we're not so bad. However, stopping USAID in the middle of operations in order to hold up a few $million seems ridiculous when Congress is getting ready to pile on $trillions in national debt so that Trump & his rich donors get more tax cuts.

Dropping dozens of bombs on Iran is a questionable method of peace, and taking Putin's side in Ukraine is not winning any praise outside Russia, But mostly, after gutting USAID, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands around the world, I'm betting his chances are still near zero.
