Aye, very good - article from 2022. Here's the latest debt news - Morgan Stanley offloaded $5.5 billion at 97 cents, the offering was snatched up as investors know there's profit. Immediately started trading at 98/99 with a 6.5% return in 2029. https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/morgan-stanley-led-banks-sell-5-5-billion-of-x-debt-on-demand-surge-125020601901_1.html By the way, Musk is worth about $150 billion more than he was when he bought Twitter. Maybe just sit this one out.

Please tell me you've actually watched the footage of October 7? No sane individual would call what happened that day anything other than the act of homicidal, extremist maniacs. Reap what you sow.

IMO the Arab nations will come to the table on this. Trump will "fold" in return for the Arab states taking responsibility for security in Gaza and signing the Abraham Accords recognising Israel. On paper, looks good. Could well just be a kick the can down the road exercise, but then again the Shia nations would love to undermine Iran. We'll see. I don't think we're going to see the evacuation of 2 million Palestinians though, no matter what.

Going to be brutally honest. After watching the uncensored extended footage of October 7 I don't give a flying **** about the Palestinians. Inhumane savagery celebrated in the streets by hundreds of thousands who ripped corpses to pieces. That girl you saw, the one raped, lying face down with her legs broken on the pick up? They found a piece of her skull before her body Desecrated in life, desecrated in death. Just like the young Thai man beheaded by a garden hoe. I know some of you are just trolling. However, try to stay out of the wretched gutter of Palestinian filth.

USAID may survive but it will be a shell entity. No way it will return to business as usual.

I think it's astonishing that any sane person would object to their governments spending being audited. Ignore button activated.

I just posted the link to the debt clock which is tracking D.O.G.E. You fundamentally don't understand what is happening with D.O.G.E. Every comment you make proves your ignorance. "DOGE aims to cut as much as $500 billion annually in wasteful spending across the executive branch departments." https://nypost.com/2025/01/31/us-news/vance-reveals-doges-most-important-undertaking-i-dont-even-think-its-the-cost-savings/

By the way, 15 days into the Trump Presidency, and D.O.G.E. has already saved the Treasury $56 billion so far. https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Already been proved that $45 million was sent to Gaza for sexual health and reproduction assistance. I'm going to put this guy on ignore. Demented stuff.

Do you understand how Congress works? I just read you are not an American. Neither am I, but wow, you've got to get a grip on yourself. You spend all day every day talking about a foreign country's governance? Mental stuff.

Did he mention in a single year? Nope. He'll do $2 trillion over 4 years easily, are you annoyed?

You are easily the most gullible and delusional poster on this forum. The link is to the notorious Democrat mouthpiece - NPR. They point out that the cost of the top 25 tier procedures - ie, the expensive ones, dropped by 6.3%. Ah, but you will celebrate the 3.4% rise in the cost of lower tier procedures? Then you'll get annoyed that it was well under inflation for that period. Even Biden joined in the push for transparency, you're actually arguing against a policy that the Dems agreed to promote and legislated to expand Trump's initial push. Once again, just be quiet. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/19/nx-s1-5233326/trump-health-care-price-transparency-employers

Laughable drivel.

Reading that USAID granted $70,000 for a LGBT stage show in Ireland. And $45 million for sexual reproduction and health in Gaza. Dear me.

Oldest trick in the book, grow the people that depend on the government for their employment, turn them into servants. If Fed gov lays off a hundred thousand that work around DC it will bring Virginia back into play for the GOP at the next election of they and their families relocate. Almost all Fed employees in DC area vote Dem.

USAID has been hollowed out. The Dems are melting down. The American electorate are spewing at some of the places the money went. Dems say only Congress can shut it down. Go ahead, Dems - defend it and drown under the river of derision heading your way.

And - Canada folded. This thread now reads like a comedy skit. Our brigade of left wing nutters will be enraged that Trump won again.

USAID - there are six named D.O.G.E. geniuses pouring through this department line by line. Aged 19 to 24, Dems are calling them little boys. Translation - they are cr*pping themselves as these young men are ripping USAID apart. $20,000 to fund a LGBT comic book in Peru among many other ridiculous grants. But here's the real problem - Dems are saying USAID is only 1% of the Federal budget. True. But D.O.G.E has only had access for days, and Trump was inaugurated 2 weeks ago. Give it 18 months and we'll see how much waste and abuse is going around the Fed budgets. The problem for Dems is that they are downplaying these "small amounts" of money. By the midterms the GOP will be able to demonstrate at least half a trillion of savings. So what will the Dems say then? "Oh, it's only half a trillion?" But here's where the party will really start. Wait till D.O.G.E get their hands on the Medicaid and Medicaire contracts. They're going to uncover wild overcharging to the US government and consumers. Good luck trying to win the midterms if Trump crashes the cost of medication. I predict a midterm landslide.

He's just suspended the Mexico tariff for a month in exchange for 10 000 Mex troops being sent to secure the border.

US debt clock here - D.O.G.E. is in line to have saved $50 billion a mere two weeks after the inauguration. You can watch it at the link. https://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html

^^ Dear me. Pathetic.

Put a gun to my head and I'll come up with two theories. 1. He's trolling Trudeau and the Liberals, trying to get Poilievre elected so he can join in the anti-woke agenda. Or: 2. He's going to drag Canada into the Greenland - Northwest Passage issue and get them to support hIS demand for Greenland to come under the control of the USA. But truthfully I don't know what's behind all this?

I've got to be honest, I'm a bit confused about Trump's attitude to Canada. He can't seriously expect them to become the 51st state so there must be something else at play - any guesses? Setting that to the side, I can see why he got annoyed re illegal immigration from Canada - Mexicans worked out they could fly there and enter overland as mentioned on this link. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-tariffs-immigration-canada-b2653974.html

The Nobel Peace prize lost all credibility when they gave the award to Obama. To be fair to Obama, even he was embarrassed. He only got it cos it was the only way the committee members could guarantee getting to meet him.

Utter drivel. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such garbage on this forum . By the way, do some research on Rebecca Lobach, I'll leave you to drag the forum into that particular gutter. You seem to be comfortable there. Then again, we all know Dems love a good Hoax. Russian collusion anyone?
