  1. Democratic districts will be more affected, but a significant number of Republican districts include a large proportion of people enrolled in Medicaid! 🙂 "In half of all Republican congressional districts, 21% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid; and in half of all Democratic districts, 26% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid." https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/congressional-district-interactive-map-medicaid-enrollment-by-eligibility-group/ "There are also pockets of the country that rely significantly on the program where voters favor Republicans. Of the 218 seats Republicans control in Congress, 26 are in districts where Medicaid covers more than 30 percent of the population, according to a New York Times analysis of federal enrollment data. All 26 of those representatives voted in favor of the House budget this week." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/27/us/politics/medicaid-enrollment.html
  2. It's not true. Several foreign mining companies are already operating in Greenland, including American companies. https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/mining-stocks/greenland-mining-stocks.html

  4. As it's clearly stated in NoDisplayName's post, it's also about tariffs on the EU.
  5. Lol! Trump threatened 25% tariff on imported Iphones if Apple doesn't bring back production to the U.S. Even if it would be economically feasible, it would take years! 🤣
  6. Trump was already campaigning about it in August. Having said that, if the bird flu pandemic ends, I don't see why eggs shouldn't go back to a "normal" price. The U.S. was a net exporter in 2024, so their price shouldn't be affected by tariffs (provided input costs are not affected).
  7. Trump made this promise last year during his campaign, same as Vance. He did not bring the price of eggs down compared to the price at the time he made this promise. 🙂
  8. I also agree. Actually it's a blanket agreement with every of his current or potential proposals which are supported by scientific evidence (not the ones which are not, I.e. about autism). If the U.S. goes that way, it may converge towards the same food standards as the EU standards. No more "non-tariff barriers" for agricultural products! 🙂 P.S. Don't dream, the Republican agro lobby will likely not allow banning harmful pesticides and fertilizers
  9. So it's actually not cheap, in particular if you select a longer period (5 years). It's actually more expensive than before the bird flu epidemic. I'll add a humorous touch: it's more expensive than when Vance made his famous show about it, blaming Kamala Harris! 🤣 https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/eggs-us https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-eggs-kamala-harris-b2617527.html
  10. Welfare recipients may also not like it. "[The] House bill is going to add about $4 trillion to the debt ceiling. The Senate bill adds $5 trillion. There's nothing fiscally conservative about expanding the debt ceiling more than we've ever done it before," Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday. "This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever, and the GOP owns this now … the deficit this year will be $2.2 trillion the GOP owns that now too." Some Senate Republicans are calling for steeper spending cuts so that raising the debt limit would not be part of this bill. https://www.yahoo.com/news/senate-likely-change-house-passed-181250084.html
  11. The question is not whether Afrikaner farmers have been subject to numerous targeted killings or not. It is whether it still currently happens (beyond a few murders). Nobody denies that it happened in the past. However, the available data (around 50 farmers' killings per year, both white and black) suggests that it's over. That's why Trump needs to lie by showing pictures from other countries than SA on TV, and also why MAGA fans are posting articles dating from 2017/2018. 🙂
  12. Who's laughing now? 🤣 Trump displays DRC visual as proof of South African 'genocide' https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-displays-drc-visual-proof-190611025.html
  13. How do you dare to post facts? You will get thumbs down from MAGA posters for this affront! 😆
  14. According to the article I linked, there are around 50 farmers killed every year, both white and black.
  15. I'm not sure Trump would agree with your statement...🤣
  16. I don't know whether they lied or not. However, they wouldn't have made a statement on this highly political subject without approval from Trump.
  17. A ranked comparison below. https://tradingeconomics.com/bonds
  18. Too bad for Huhter Biden that laws cannot be applied retroactively!
  19. Nothing irrational! Just highlighting that Trump is lying, as usual! 😆
  20. Post to be ignored for being baseless, as usual! 😆
