It's unfortunate that those who are defecting from Donald are backing MTG. She's talking fairly sane right now, but underneath she's a lunatic. I wish people would wise up and stop following all these conspiracy nuts.
Very true. She's "behaving" while cutting lose from Trump. It's just a matter of time before she starts showing her true colours again.
 
I see TDS is still alive and well. Communist mayors on both coasts now. Stock up on popcorn. January is going to be a fun watch.
 
Be aware, Mexico is now our biggest trading partner and they are descending into civil war.
 
being a communist in America is about as relevant as being a Wig
The Whig Party was a major American political party in the 1830s and 1840s that opposed President Andrew Jackson and advocated for a more active national government. The party's platform included support for protective tariffs, a national bank, and federal funding for internal improvements like roads and canals. The Whig Party eventually collapsed in the 1850s due to internal divisions over the issue of slavery, with many members, including Abraham Lincoln, leaving to form the new Republican Party.

Since Trump models his presidency on President Andrew Jackson you could compare the communists battling him with the Whig's battling Jackson. Also, communism is another way to dress up slavery, if everyone has everything in common then they would be like slaves and those who decide how everything gets divided up would be the slave masters.

Wow! Six minutes in they reveal a woman has been convicted of a hate crime because she used the F word F*****T. Apparently she was raped and she referred to the man who raped her with this word.

So, when does the US go back to its past and admit that the blending of cultural ideologies beyond a point is self-destruction?

I'm trying to wrap my mind around someone bankrupting for casinos.
a business in which they take in like eleventy bajillion times what they pay out

As for tariffs, they accomplished nothing but making the American consumer have to pay more for everything.
But according to his supporters, Trump is playing Star Trek 3D chess. Not checkers.
He's using algebra or calculus that most of can't comprehend. :sneaky:

"yeah, you don't understand, paying more for literally everything is going to help American consumers"
 
1. Hurt American consumers first
Tariffs don’t “make China pay.” They raise prices for Americans businesses importing parts and people buying finished products. That’s why prices on everything from washing machines to electronics went up.

2. Disrupt U.S. manufacturers
A ton of American companies rely on Chinese components. Tariffs just made their supply chains more expensive and complicated. Some tried to move production elsewhere, but that takes years and costs a fortune.

3. Fail to achieve the stated goals
The trade deficit didn’t shrink. China didn’t give major concessions. The U.S. didn’t suddenly become a manufacturing powerhouse. In fact, American farmers got hammered by retaliation tariffs and needed billions in bailout subsidies.

4. Accelerate China’s self-sufficiency
Ironically, the trade war sped up China’s push to become less dependent on the U.S. for tech, agriculture, and manufacturing equipment.

China could effectively cripple our economy overnight just by cutting off trade.

conclusion, Donald Trump is dumb as a bag of hammers

Or actinging like a wrecking ball on purpose.
 
How's that "golden age" coming along? Donald is chomping at the bit to get rid of Jerome Powell so he can lower interest rates; the funny thing is, lowering interest rates is something you do to jumpstart a bad economy. On the one hand, Donald is telling us the economy has never been better; on the other, he wants to do something you do when the economy is tanking. Now, instead of telling Americans to enjoy their newly-found prosperity, they're giving us advice on how to get by with less. What a grift.

America's universities are being taken over by Marxist ideologues. Marxism requires that the status quo be destroyed, by force if necessary, in order to implement Marxist government. One vital requirement is that society becomes self loathing so that it welcomes change. Since white America is the majority, the attacks are directed there first. You have white privilege, insistence on DEI to undermine white influence and neutering of white males who might stand against this closet Marxist attack. Mass immigration dilutes the white population so its influence is less.

Marxists employ Islam to undermine the Christian foundations. Free speech is restricted and any criticism of Islam is deemed to be hate speech. So Muslims are infiltrating government and institutions. The United Kingdom is already a de facto Muslim republic. Iran should have been a warning for the Western world of what a Muslim regime will mean. Yet few governments in Europe offer any meaningful resistance to a Muslim take over. It's tragic.

It is not inevitable, but it will take leadership that the world does not have. Fundamentally, Christians need to wake up and see the threat and pray. If believers do not see a problem, they will not pray for answers.
