What things happened? Green new scam? $50 million in Condoms for Hezbollah? I guess those Iranians got their money back, so there's that.

Did you mean the "woke" bit? The thing about that is most republicans seem to have difficulty even saying what "woke" means, other than saying it's bad.

Firing all the officers who had anything to do with investigations into Jan-6 crimes is not "making the FBI fair and competent." They're career officers, doing their jobs, investigating the crimes we all saw happen. Same goes for the DOJ firings. And the investigations into Trump were not weaponization. They were simply investigating the crimes we all saw happen. Can you explain the stacks of document boxes Trump kept at Mar A Lago? Do you know anybody who watched the Jan 6 riots and didn't wonder what took Trump so long? Trump's an idiot if he actually thought Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the security at the Capitol. Well, he's probably an idiot, anyway, but despite all the crap he says, Pelosi and the DC Mayor have nothing to do with the security of that place beyond some tangentially administrative roles.

And USAID is an organization created by an act of Congress, and the President cannot simply eliminate it. Not to mention the fact that foreign aid helps keep our adversaries from controlling the rest of the world, like Africa and Southeast Asia. It's certainly not, as Musk said, "a criminal organization."

Neat. The Biden Administration got Mexico to post 10,000 troops on the border back in 2021. And Canada agreed to spend $1,3 billion on border security back in December, for Biden. So Trump stopped his tariffs for something they were doing, already.

Exactly my point above. Trump is punishing government officials for doing their jobs and not ignoring obvious crimes. Well, that and other stupid things like flooding Southern California and violating the same Constitution he vowed to protect and uphold.

But go ahead and tell us how that's putting America first.

Another point from this inept presidential administration, is that even after the crash that killed 67 people, and after baselessly saying it was due to DEI, the Trump Administration emailed the rest of the air traffic controllers to tell them to resign.

On top of all the tariffs, that'll raise consumer prices 10-50% when we had hoped he'd work to lower prices and improve safety. Trump is an imbecile, and thinks he's the smartest guy on Earth.
Dunning & Kruger saw him coming.

Those claims have already been debunked. There was never a federal program to incorporate "woke ideology" anywhere, and no money was spent on condoms for Gaza. Trump and his press secretary saying so didn't make it true.

And there is no "green new scam." I suppose you mean the "Green New Deal," but that never even made it to a Congressional vote.

Lastly, I'd like to know what you're basing your assertion that the US was a laughing stock under Biden. The money that Iran got was Iranian-owned bank accounts that were unfrozen. If Iran is funding terrorism, it's more likely that they're using the money they get from Russia, selling weapons for use against Ukraine.

Yes, the tariffs are going to be a disaster.

I'm watching the Forex market today, and see the US Dollar exploding in price. While it may sound nice to Americans to have a "strong dollar," it only means that the dollar is more expensive than it used to be, so the US will be a worse place to do business. People will lose jobs over this mess. Not to mention how much these tariffs make our economic partner nations angry. Maybe Tim, or someone else in Canada can confirm what Canadians think about buying US products, but I'm hearing on news reports that some Canadians are confronting shoppers they see buying them.

If Trump believed in hiring on merit, why would he appoint Pete Hegseth for SecDef? And Bobby Kennedy, with no medical background, nor any experience leading any large organization, but gets the appointment for head of Health & Human Services?

Weird take. The only people in the US, not subject to the jurisdiction thereof are people with diplomatic immunity or other foreign officials. But good luck getting this argued in court, considering it's never passed legal challenge over the several times tried in the past hundred years.

Overturning the 14th Amendment will take another Constitutional amendment.

Right. Pay no attention to the 140 Capitol Police officers who were beaten, or the 3 that died immediately afterwards, because people on the other end of the building weren't so violent. They all get pardons.

Thanks, is it supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?

There were over 10,000 arrests made during the BLM & George Floyd protests across the country. The "no arrests" claim has been long debunked and probably just mindlessly repeated on conservative media.

Hmmmmm, what does this magical New Golden Era entail? Sounds like a campaign slogan thought up by an uninspired staffer who resorted to political op-eds. "Oh, New Deal? New World Order? Hey guys, I got it, I got it!!! Think of this, open tomorrows campaign speech with Herr Trump's always anticipated word salad being about a NEW GOLDEN ERA? Genius. amirite?" That or 2023 annual father son day on the links and Donny n Barron are in a tense brainstorm sesh while awaiting their turn on the tee.... Don's like "Son, my new merch, those red hats, they're great everyone says they're great. they love em, everybody love em, cuz they love me. My friend Vlad, great man, outstanding human, he told me how much every one in his country loves my hats, they're great hats over there. great people wear them...." Barron chimes in "ok Dad, your hats are great, but don't you think a new, flashier slogan is the way to go for your second term? Maybe borrow from the 'MAGA' slogan but the way Barry O did it? took the "a choice to believe in" and went with the simple "Believe." Donny's pink hue becomes red with rage "Barak? That Kenyan socialist surfed out of a vocano in Hawai'i, he's the devil himself and I know Hawai'i, son, I own hotels there. They're uge, uge they're the best hotels. My friend Jung Un likes them, loves them stays in 3 each time he goes to Hawai'i. I don't know why 3 he just thinks there that great. and that's why my catchphrase is that we have to make ame.." Barron "DAD, just go with "again" like mom said. it fits the current visuals, you and Eric "again"....." "you're mother didn't say that was a good slogan, she said that when i told her I wanted to be president one more time, Yuri, my russian friend who always brings me messages from Vlad asking for me to take all these pictures for him? those high quality pictures of all the buildings he wants t buy...."

Yeah, it was more likely the staffer. to save ya'll from the rest of that convo and from wondering how true the documents from our own intel services actually are.... uhhhh, I'll just tell ya, Don wanted to go with "Make America Great Again, Again" it took several long explanations that saying that implies that he did MAGA and that might come off as arrogant to the American people and that arrogant just isn't the image he should be going for..... idk, is it just me or is everyone surrounding Trump oblivious af? Mean while a phone rings, Don answers his shoe and indicates he needs to excuse himself to take a call. "Comrade Yuri..." he answers before rattling off something is fluent accent free high Russian.....

ehhhhh, our three letter agencies are prob wrong, right?
