The guy had completed his prison sentence. No matter how distasteful one may find Biden's decision, which I do, it complies with the law.

When posting OP opinion pieces member's name is provided automatically. Matter of opinion right now if Musk has bought his way into trump's inner influencer circle, to my mind certainly looks as though he has done so.

For a starter trump and Co have made it very clear they wish to destroy the institutions of government. Rather than right wing extremist rant, what evidence has been presented by law enforcement about the guy's actual motivation?

Obviously depends on your opinions, some will concur, others will not - likely roughly 50 - 50 split

Where is your source of truth? The member is correct The Social Security trust funds are invested entirely in U.S. Treasury securities. Like the Treasury bills, notes, and bonds purchased by private investors around the world, the Treasury securities that the trust funds hold are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/understanding-the-social-security-trust-funds-0#:~:text=The Social Security trust funds are invested entirely in U.S.,credit of the U.S. government.

You're not a trump supporter?

Another member clarified he only received $75 million from the oil industry. However it does demonstrate the underlying corruption with candidate election funding with such blatant demands from a candidate

Yet another one, this is getting tedious....I did not write the opinion piece. if you have an issue email the author.

Feeling sorry for yourself - not a constructive emotion

There is a consistency from MAGA supporters on this forum - inability to comprehend the author and content of an opinion article posted for debate.

Another one - Lol I did not write the article

Engage the brain, I didn't write the opinion piece. In any case it's actually referring to Musk and his brief to reduce Fed expenditure. Plus of course conflict of interests.

You've totally missed the thrust of the article. The world's richest man refers to Musk. Musk has been nominated by trump to a major influencer Cabinet level role to cut costs, plus of course Musk will have the inside running for relevant trump admin contracts

Nope the number is estimated at 200,00 'encounters' in the past year; mainly Indian and East Asian nationals. With 358 suspects on the terror watchlist were detained at ports of entry on the U.S.—Canada border during the 2024 fiscal year, I expect those on the terror watchlist are related to Indian internal political conflicts. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-tariffs-immigration-canada-b2653974.html

No.

In 2024, Democrats spent about $6.7 billion, Republicans spent about $7.6 billion, and third-party candidates, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., spent a little more than $500 million. Adjusted for inflation, that’s more than 2.5 times as much as any third-party candidate since 2000, when third-party candidates spent nearly $197 million. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/live-update/election-news-2024/the-cost-of-this-election

you've got the wrong member. Biden corruption has never been proven in a court of law, just allegations by trump world.

Although Dems on the Board, a Republican partisan report. No mention of the increase to the national debt created by trump's tax cuts, which were also used to enrich corporates by share buy back schemes, not reinvested as proposed.

Quoted from the article

Not going to plough through that. Also I don't believe in coincidences

Incorrect, I made no such claim

Where would oil industry and it's executives donations be recorded?

Not my claim, the opinion writer's opinions

Remember trump promised oil executives he would take care of them if they donated a billion dollars towards his election. Not long after we heard trump promising to "drill baby, drill'

Interesting opinion piece... GOP legislators are toying with reducing payouts under the system, including raising the retirement age and other benefit cuts. As one GOP representative recently told Fox Business Network, “we're going to have to have some hard decisions” on Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Trump’s GOP will be making “hard” choices, meaning they will be cutting benefits, in order to fund tax cuts for wealthy donors.
