  1. And GOP Committees have a stellar track about whistleblowers. One key whistleblower was a China and Iran agent, on top of being arm trafficker, and the other one was a Russian agent! 🤣 FD-1023 anyone!
  2. That 's weak. ThreeCardMonte would have done better! 😆
  3. As usual, Newsom nails it! 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/DOAYN92jmHv/
  4. In other words, you also have nothing! 🤣
  5. Much better than using 130 years old arguments! 😅 https://www.wvxu.org/politics/2025-02-07/analysis-trump-mckinley-tariffs
  6. And Trump is winning again with 950,000 layoffs already! 🤣🤣🤣 Employers across the U.S. cut nearly 950,000 jobs this year through September, the largest number of layoffs since 2020. In anticipation of your reaction, around 200,000 are federal layoffs. Layoffs across the U.S. this year are at their highest level since 2020, new data shows https://www.cbsnews.com/news/layoffs-2025-highest-level-since-2020-labor-market-jobs-report/
  7. Drug boats such as the ones bombed often go to the caraibes. Drug is then shipped from there to the US, and may be through legal ports of entry.
  8. No no! We've been told they are all afraid of Trump! 😆
  9. American products are quite good, but American firms produce them abroad, and repatriate part of their earnings to the US. Ex Apple is selling its products worldwide, but around 80% of its R&D is made in the US.
  10. Nice that you have nothing to deny the obvious style similarity! 🤣
  11. “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” 🤣 https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5441550-trump-promised-lower-grocery-prices-on-day-one-heres-what-happened/
  12. Here's the official statistics, based on 6,000 observations/month. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000703112
  13. So no likely impact on regime change, unless the US invades Venezuela; no real impact on drug trafficking as Venezuela doesn't produce Fentanyl and is also not one of the largest cocaine producers.... Why waste money on it?
  14. However, US multinationals are repatriating earnings with around the same amount as the trade deficit, from their foreign operations. And that's pure money, not goods, used to finance shareholders in the US, investments in the US, as well as US taxes.
  15. Lol! Targets have also been reached before the end of year in 2024. Actually the articles are showing that recruitment targets are set by fiscal year, not calendar year, so it's not surprising that they may be reached before the end of September. In this case, recruitments for FY 2025 also include recruitments made by the Biden administration from October 2024 to January 2025. In 2024, targets have been reached and even surpassed in September 2024. Army hits recruiting target for the first time in 2 years https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2024/09/26/army-hits-recruiting-target-for-the-first-time-in-2-years/ Also 11,000 extra recruitments made by September for the FY 2025 entry program (so included in the FY 2025 numbers you touted). Army exceeds FY 2024 active duty recruiting goals https://www.army.mil/article/280028/army_exceeds_fy_2024_active_duty_recruiting_goals
  16. Report: London Protest Al-Fashir Under Siege, UAE and Its Mercenaries Condemned https://darfurunionuk.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/10129-02/
  17. It's probably true, but so did Hamas. Neither Hamas nor Netanyahu have a real interest in peace.
  18. Trump is obviously furious about it, and instructions have been sent to the MAGA echo chamber, so the argument must be effective! 🤣
  19. The military is corrupt and also one of the main beneficiaries of the current regime, and it's not called "Bolivarian" for no reason. Millions of civilians are also members of Bolivarian militias. The government also controls food supply and jobs to a large extent. Unfortunately, a military coup or a civilian rebellion are very unlikely. Remember that Chavez was nearly toppled by a coup. It's part of this regime's memory.
