Saint Donald. Total revisionist history, a complete reformation of his entire career, and a total erasure of his past crimes, moral terpitude, and a total and complete willingness to overlook a lifetime of moral bankruptcy. 

 

I do have some friends that will come right out and say the man is a butthead, he's an idiot, and he's an absolute clown, but I like some of his policies. Other policies are idiotic and destructive. Those are the Republicans I admire. 

 

During the 20 years that Clinton, Obama, and Biden were in office as a Centrist Dem I never hesitated to criticize many of their policies, which I disagreed with.

Where is that critical thinking coming from on the right?

Why such a lack of independence and why is all of a sudden independent thinking such a terrible thing? What happened?

Well Spidermike007, that could be applied to almost 80% of world country's leaders these days... everyone from the US to UK to France to the EU to Russia to Turkey to Thailand to China to Burma to Africa as a whole to South America to the Middle East, to almost everywhere. Almost everywhere you look, countries are being run by morons that have a deluded voter base. I know everyone on this forum likes having a pop at Trump, but it/the same goes for pretty much everywhere now... why the world is in such disarray and disfunctional.

No. The other world leaders aren’t morons. Some may be vile dictators but they are nowhere near as moronic as Trump.

Donny, you’ve achieved another level of incompetence and grifting and ignorance. Way to go Donny.

Unfortunately the big ugly bill passed. 

 

This bill will kick millions of Americans off their health insurance. It will cause families to go hungry. It will close rural hospitals. It will raise energy prices.

 

All to give the wealthiest Americans and Donald Trump’s billionaire allies another tax cut that they don’t need.

 

A Fox News poll of 1,003 registered voters nationwide conducted this month found that 38 percent of voters favor the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, while 59 percent oppose it.

 

The bill received strong pushback in recent weeks from both Republicans concerned about the deep cuts to Medicaid, such as Murkowski, Collins and Tillis, as well as Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kansas).

 

The bill would provide $160 billion for border security and immigration enforcement, $150 billion to boost the Pentagon’s budget and raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

 

Rogue capitalism is what we have with Trump & his Project 2025 band of robber barrons. They will feed on the people, robbing them of even life’s essentials and then they will turn on each other because they are predators and don’t know any other way to be in the world. Why? Because they are ruled by ego and it’s greed.

 

We will NOT forget how they voted to throw grandma out of the nursing home, deny a newborn and it’s mother any health care under Medicaid, rip away health insurance from up to 17 million Americans and put the burden of paying for their health care needs on us! the payees of employment health care benefits because our premiums WILL go up.

 

That’s not even to mention the $3.3 TRILLION the OMB has calculated this horrendous monstrosity will swell the national debt.

With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

 

Trump, winning elections, and doing his part in preserving democracy makes Trump invaluable. The people make informed choices and Trump is at the top of the ticket, obviously. America has placed more faith in Trump to uphold democracy than the previous team of democrat America haters.

and don't ever forget the hoax trial of the century and the bogus 34 count felony. How could so many voters get it so wrong and vote for Kamala and only 80,000,000 or so Trump voters get it right. Boggles the mind, especially a foggy democrat mind reeling with obsession of witnessing a "felon" as the leader of America govern so effectively.

Like you and the Trump is a moron nonsense. 

Trump is absolutely and by far the right man for securing the border after Biden purposely, intentionally  welcomed in illegals alien criminals for the purpose of democrat political gains. If it was not intentional then Biden and his team of incompetent buffoons will take their place in history as exactly that, incompetent buffoons. Score another one for Trump and why voters picked him to lead the country.

 

 

 

Nothing wrong with bringing down inflation to a 7 month low. Trumps got it right, as do the 80,000,000 voters who voted for low inflation. Trump is the right man for the inflation reduction program he's initiated. Proof is every where.

 

If low inflation is wrong, then I want a president who is "wrong" about inflation.

With respect to the FBI and protecting America, Trump and his team seem more than capable of managing crime fighting and so far making progress fighting crime. Another plus for why Trump is the right man for the job. You may argue and state he's not the right man for the job, but since taking over, positive reports have emerged about the FBI and falling crime rates with 20% decline in  murder rates in 2025.

Trumps rocking it big time and so just maybe, this may be the best woman for the job.... as in the "job" kamala gave Willy B back in the west coast oral queens DA days.

 

 

Transcript of the presidential remarks in Iowa

This bit got him into a bit of hotwater. Turns out he didn't know what the word meant.

 

Quote

No estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowings from, in some cases, a fine banker, and in some cases, shylocks and bad people. But they took away a lot of, a lot of, uh, family. They destroyed a lot of families. But we did the opposite. So just remember, to me, it's so important. And it was mostly important for places like we're at right now.

 

 

This bit is somewhat overlooked

 

Quote

 

Last month, American-born workers gained 830,000 new jobs, a record. That's American-born. While the illegal aliens lost 340,000, and we don't want bad for them. But, look, we have a country to run and we wanna have them come in and we wanna have them help our farmers. You know, you probably saw, I got myself into a little trouble because I said, "I don't wanna take people away from the farmers." And we're gonna do, uh, something, I think, that's gonna be good, because we want all the criminals out. 

 

Everybody agrees that we're finding the criminals, the murderers, the drug dealers. We're getting them the hell out of here. But the farmers, some of the farmers, many of you sitting right here, I have f- four friends right in the fifth row. But some of the farmers were -- You know, they've had people working for 'em for years, and we're gonna do something. 

 

We're working with Kristi and we're gonna do something that, uh -- We're gonna sort of put the farmers in charge. And if somebody of a po- -- if a farmer has been with one of these people that work so hard, they bend over all day, we don't have too many people can do that. But they work very hard and they know 'em very well.

 

And some of the farmers are, literally, just, you know, they cry when they see this happen. If a farmer is willing to vouch for these people, in some way, Kristi, I think we're gonna have to just say, that's gonna be good, right? You know, we're gonna be, we're gonna be good with it, 'cause we don't wanna do it where we take all of the workers off the farms.

 

We want the farms to do great like they're doing right now. So, uh, Kristi Noem has done a fantastic job, and, uh, Tom Homan. And we're working on legislation right now, Susie, right? We're working on legislation right now where farmers -- Look, they know better. They worked with them for years. You had cases that where -- Not here, but just even over the years, where people have worked for a farm, on a farm for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously.

 

And we can't do it. We gotta work with the farmers. And- and people that have hotels and leisure properties, too, we're gonna work with them and we're gonna work very strong and smart. And we're gonna put you in charge. We're gonna make you responsible. And I think that that's gonna make a lot of people happy.

 

Now, serious radical right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy, but they'll understand, won't they? Do you think so? Madam Secretary, look at you with a white hat on. Do you think they'll understand that you're the one that brought this whole situation up? Brooke Rollins brought it up and she said, uh, "So we have a little problem.

 

The farmers are losing a lot of people." And we figured it out and we have some great stuff being written in. Let the farmers be responsible. And then if the farmers don't do a good job, we'll throw them the hell out of the country. We'll let the guys -- We'll let the illegals stay and we'll throw the farmer the hell out.

 

 

Presumably the US government isn't pursuing a policy to revoke all Green Card and H-visas. They  are ejecting illegal immigrants.

 

But the President inferred that Iowan famers (and hoteliers) can get to keep their illegal immigrant staff if they can be "vouched" for. How does this work? Do vouched for illegal immigrants get paid? Would they have to work for free? Would they be drawn from detention facilities for work detail? How would they stop an illegal immigrant who has been "vouched for" leaving to go work on some other farm? Hunt them down? And how is this funded?

 

Part of the speech highlighted beef and ethanol exports to the UK. The UK is of course no obliged to accept produce and goods that does not meet UK standards for methods of production.

 

During discussions with the British Prime Minister, the President was very keen to emphasize that he basically agreed with that position, but felt its not a problem as under his leadership, the quality of produce would be second to none.

 

Britain has anti-slavery laws, introduced by Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron (a slight oversight, given that slavery was never actually legal in the UK). I am sure lawyers will be looking, with keen interest, how the DHS will manage the "employment" of selected illegal immigrants.

 

I expect this policy is not just for Iowa.
