Comment Re:The economy is struggling (Score 1) 241

Jobs cuts were ridiculous and had no foresight/planning involved. Trump just wanted a 'win'. They have already had to hire back hundreds of people and the only thing worse than laying people off is laying them off then having to go back to rehire them later because you realized you shouldn't have laid them off. If they wanted to save money they could have cancelled Trump's failed birthday, military parade and given that money to actual programs that help people. Educating and keeping people healthy pays off in the long run. Maybe if they hadn't laid off so many people in the weather agencies they would have dozens of dead children in Texas. Mexico got there to help faster than the US did. I guess Trump needed to finish his golf game and Noem had to find the appropriate costume for her photo op.

Comment Trade Deficit does not = getting ripped off (Score 1) 143

I would still love to hear someone actually ask/tell Trump if he even understands that a trade deficit isn't the same as being ripped off. Of course Canada has a trade deficit with the US. They have 10x less people so they need less US good in comparison. As far as Canadian tariffs on milk, etc. I learned years before Trump was ever elected that the us HEAVILY subsidies American milk producers. So much that Canada could not compete, hence the tariffs in order to not completely destroy the Canadian milk industry. That's why tariffs exist.

Comment It's not just a political platform (Score 0, Troll) 183

We're treating Bluesky like it's only a political platform/battleground. I want to hear about my hobbies, etc so I don't know who the 'other side' would be in that context. Trump is destroying the entire world's opinion of the US and destroying the constitution. The best day will be the day we never have to hear his name again.

Comment Shutdown in 5,4,3,2,1 (Score 3, Insightful) 4

I wonder how long until Trump personally steps in and solicits a bribe under threat of shutdown. I mean, they have 0 emission in their goal. I wouldn't be surprised if he just shut it down on principle. Trump loves to fix all the non-problems and make sure we don't do anything good for the environment ever. Gotta fix the big beautiful toilet... sometimes you have to flush it 3, 4, 5 times because it's got no water. I'm bringing the water back. Also the shower that goes drip drip drip.

Comment Re:I don't think it's AI (Score 1) 168

again with a response that is just what Trump says but isn't based in reality. Trump could say the sky is green and the grass is made of jello and this guy'd be on here repeating it to everyone. None of those prices are down. The stock market is going down. Trump was supposed to make 90 tariff deals in 90 days. So far he's made 0 deals and the rest of the world has said screw you, we'll make deals with each other.

You can tell the guy who only listens to Trump talking points and hasn't seen a fact in his life. Joe Biden's economy was very good and was basically the gold standard among the nations recovering from COVID. Kamala pretty much always sounded great during interviews while 'word-salad' has always been Trump's thing. He can't even finish a sentence without wandering off onto some other topic. Just go google some Kamala clips. You can hear her answering questions. Trump has single-handedly cratered the country's economy and is well on the way to recession. He's handed Ukraine to America's historic enemy on a silver platter. His entire cabinet is full of DEI hires... people who are literally, not competent at their jobs but got in because they were white/Christian/pretty enough for him.

Trump: 1. Best friends with Epstein 2. Appeared all over call and flight logs 3. Knew what Epstein was into 4. Trump constantly made lewd comments about his underage daughter (on interviews, etc. for the whole world to hear) 5. Hung out on Epstein island even though he doesn't drink or do drugs... so what was he doing there? 6. Epstein mysteriously died while Trump was president. 7. Trump said he release a whole bunch of secret files on an interview. Balked on releasing Epstein files. Recently released the files that had previously been release, so nothing new. Where's the rest donny?
