Also blatantly taking a 400 million dollar bribe is insane. Can you fucking imagine if Biden took a plane from a foreign country???? HOLY FUCK the US would have burned the fuck down. Literally.

abjectwoeIt's so hard to tell when you're trolling or not.
theabortionatorSo relevant to this thread I think. But some of my musician friends had a friemd in an Austin Texas based banned get pulled off a flight and taken away in Dallas a couple days ago.
Band was heading in a European tour which is obviously now canceled.
Fuck anyone who supports thos bullshit. USA is getting scary sketchy right now but unfortunately people are all in for Trump to the point where it's almost impossible for some of them to change. God I hate cults.

muffMan.Just looking into this, don’t know of the validity, but seeing lots of things about him violating a restraining order x 2.
tbh if that is the case I can see why he was detained

VTshredder69Noooo more misinfo?? who would have thought.
VTshredder69OH NO AMERICA IS DOING BETTER UNDER TRUMP THAN BIDEN BUT TRUMP HURT MY FEELINGS
.MASSHOLE.Really? By what metrics?
Pretty sure in 1Q25 we had the first quarterly GDP decline since 2022, 3% lower consumer spending, and overall consumer sentiment is negative.

VTshredder69so when there were still tariffs on the entire world? Interesting who would have thought. I wonder now with UK and China deals that sentiment remains the same.
Did we take a look at a government surplus for the first time in 3 decades or do we just want to run the dollar into the ground by continuing to increase our deficit?
.MASSHOLE.You do realize the majority of the tariffs were implemented in Q2 right? "Liberation Day" was in April.
Q1 is Jan -> March. Q2 will be worse. Q3 may be an improvement relative to Q2 but still likely a major decline YoY.
The latest sentiment was polled in April and released today from a U Mich study with tariffs being the biggest concern
We'll get better idea on the "deals" at the end of the month.
Regardless, the Britain deal isn't noteworthy since they already bought more from us than we bought from them. It's "optics".
The China deal is still going to hurt American consumers -> tariffs are a tax on the final user. They're still there.
That surplus came from Americans, namely annual taxes and tariffs. That does nothing for sentiment.
Hell, if anything it's a net negative on the economy as consumers are going to have less in their pockets.

profa_212Idiot. Obviously, the bachelor's in business MAGA on here knows more than essentially every expert. Those "Experts" are just FAKE AND DUMB liberals out to DESTROY trumps AMAZING and STRONG economy that has been LIBERATED from owning things like iphones and computers by taxing AMERICAs low and middle class.
List of things our amazing and GENIUS local MAGA boy knows more than all other experts in their fields. In case you think you might know better:
Foreign policy
War Policy
Gay Rights
Skipping leg day
Women's Rights
Health Policy
Infectious Disease and Vaccinology
Alcoholism
Cocaine
Medicare/Medicaid
Immigration policy
HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP
Anyone who think they know better IS A LIBERAL BITCH. and is FAKE NEWS. They are out to GET TRUMP and DESERVE to be PUNISHED. GLORY TO PUTIN. oh fuk shit I MEAN TRUMP
VTshredder69Having civil discourse is something that is learned. Try it out sometime instead of just hurling personal insults.
profa_212Man who spends whole day trolling and calling people pussies and doing pretty much anything other than civil discourse gets feelings hurt when called out. Classic Maga hahahaha
"civil discourse is something that is learned 🥸" fuckin pussy lmao
VTshredder69OH NO AMERICA IS DOING BETTER UNDER TRUMP THAN BIDEN BUT TRUMP HURT MY FEELINGS
VTshredder69you're the one listing my online personality traits and writing a paragraph to me, dork.
profa_212FAKE NEWS LIBERAL
VTshredder69Not to be a dick but Q1 is Oct-Dec for the Government.
You're trying to measure tariffs short term and measure Q2 with the president in office for 2 months?
This is a macro thing not a micro thing.
My guess is there will be more tariff settlement deals by the end of Q3 anyway.
abjectwoeWe should all grab a beer sometime

SteezyYeetersorry but you're acting really emotional. even if he's trolling. don't let him get to you because it makes you look stupid. type shit

theabortionatorIdk, who put those tarrifs in place? Fuck, Im gonna have to google that and come back. Can't quite think of his name.
Doge spent nearly as much as they cut, and the cuts were pretty random at best destabilize or basically eliminating programs that help people. At worst some of them were targeted at organizations that trump and musk don't like. Yeah no weird conflicts there.
The republican dream seems to be paying more in taxes, and getting nothing in return. Not having any safety nets like food stamps, not being able to see a doctor, or going bankrupt if they do. Further destabilizing the world economy.
I guess that's fine as long as we get more non white people out.
Idk, actually kind of baffling to see people fight so hard against all they're best interests l, and the more obvious it becomes the more they double down.
Is it a sunk cost situation where they're too invested? Wild times for sure
PartyBullshiitReally sad to hear Biden has advanced cancer that’s spreading throughout his body. Regardless of what political side you’re on never want to hear about someone having to suffer.
HypeBeastAlso a harsh reminder why we need someone younger than 80 in the white house.
PartyBullshiitI mean really not. Prostate cancer is one of the highest cancers in men and affects Guys of all ages. It’s the highest percentage of cancer found in young men.
HypeBeastSorry I really don't wanna argue but you have it opposite. It increases with incidence as age progresses. Pretty high chance over 65
Jemstrump is totally off the goop with this springsteen stuff. for a man who talks shit as a political career, bruce really got under his skin.
Jemscan the president PLEASE just act like an adult for ONCE

VTshredder69Deport this guy please.
ParkingLotPissThis joke is definitely in bad taste.
I don't understand how Republicans don't really give a shit about the stuff Trump does. He's deporting people who are here legally. This is like the most obvious form of tyranny imaginable.
The craziest part is when Republicans tell you you're brainwashed. Right—I'm brainwashed because I have an issue with random people being effectively kidnapped and deported by the government.
Alternatively, one of them will try to trick you into thinking they have a functional moral compass by saying some shit like, "Well, they're gang-affiliated," or some other nonsense. I don't care if they were gang-affiliated (they weren't)—this is our justice system, not a $5 T-shirt; we shouldn't outsource it to a developing country.

theabortionatorWait till they find the Clinto kill list in her emails on Hunter Bidens laptop. Pretty sure the details of Barack Hussein Obamas real birth place are in there along with the gay liberal communist agenda. Maybe a list of pizza places with basements.
All seems pretty likely. Crazy that people think the Republicans are doing some super sketchy stuff when there's NO evidence anywhere. Well except in their policies, the things they say, the bills they push, the programs they cut, pulling people off the street, detention centers, banning books, suing media and having a chilling effect on good journalism.
Yeah idk, that sounds pretty unlikely to me. I've done my own research. Down with the Biden crime family. Thanks Obama!
VTshredder69Both sides do sketchy things. The fact that America first is 'evil' is what blows my mind.
You probably know because it seems like you've lived in multiple countries.
Most countries worry about themselves first and IMO that's how its supposed to work wherever you live.
SteezyYeeteris there anyone still in support of Israel?
