OK gimp. That is not how it works for the rest of us. The politicians are supposed to be public servants. The public is not supposed to be the politician's servants.
Gimp? Im not part of the party that calls Trump "Daddy".

False.
Germany has a new leader:

Friedrich Merz, the leader of the center-right Christian Democratic Union in Germany, wasted no time after his party's victory in national elections warning about the dangers posed by President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk.
Politico reports that Merz on Sunday argued that Europeans needed to make a break from the United States, which he said could no longer guarantee their continent's security as it had done for the last 80 years.
“My absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA,” Merz said. “I never thought I would have to say something like this on a television program. But after Donald Trump's statements last week at the latest, it is clear that the Americans, at least this part of the Americans, this administration, are largely indifferent to the fate of Europe.”
This could mean coordinating nuclear weapons programs with the United Kingdom and France, he said, and potentially even the disbanding of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (NATO).
Merz even went so far as to imply that the United States under Trump was essentially on the same side as Russia when it comes to geopolitical affairs.
"I have absolutely no illusions about what is happening from America," he said. "Just look at the recent interventions in the German election campaign by Mr. Elon Musk — that is a unique event. The interventions from Washington were no less dramatic and drastic and ultimately outrageous than the interventions we have seen from Moscow. We are under such massive pressure from two sides that my absolute priority now really is to create unity in Europe."

No surprise here.
www.theguardian.com
An international neo-Nazi terrorist group with origins in the US appears to be quickly rebuilding its global and stateside ranks, according to information obtained by the Guardian from its digital accounts.
Founded in 2018, the Base has been the intense focus of a years-long FBI counter-terrorism investigation that has resulted in more than a dozen of its members arrested. It has plotted an assassination, mass shootings and other actions in Europe, which made it a proscribed terrorist organization in several countries.
By 2022, it seemed to disappear. Yet its founder and leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, a former US special forces contractor residing in Russia, used the safety of Russian apps before the November election to recruit and reorganize during a tense political moment. At one point, he even solicited ex-American soldiers with an offer of $1,200 a month to put members through paramilitary training somewhere in the Pacific north-west.
The Base’s regrouping comes at a time when the Trump administration has made it a policy goal to move away from policing far-right extremism and during the appointment of Kash Patel – a Maga acolyte who lauds January 6 attackers and has peddled Qanon conspiracy theories – to helm the FBI. Experts say federal law enforcement ignoring far-right groups such as the Base could expose Americans to increased domestic terror threats.

Seriously guys, enlighten all of us on President Burger’s position and strategy on foreign policy and trade?
This doesn’t feel conservative. He’s upheaving all of our long standing alliances, Europe is positioning to isolate us, others will follow. Canada and Mexico are almost enemies now.
Did he talk at his rallies our on your media about the plan here? Like details, not just reshoring and making them pay. I want end game scenarios where we come out on top.
Let’s hear the good faith response you’re oh so begging for!

That clip was 12 minutes of scaremongering with 30 seconds of truth hidden 10 minutes into the clip. Everything the CFPB does falls under the scope of the FTC. If you shut down the CFPB, zero benefit for American consumers is lost, and all of the oversight still happens because the FTC already does it. As the one sane person in that entire story pointed out, the role CFPB claims to be doing is right in the logo of the FTC.
The CFPB is a redundant Federal Agency to extract kickbacks to Democrat politicians. It is pure corruption.
I don't know what else I expected from the same group who last week pushed the nonsense that Nazi book burnings were free speech advocacy that led to genocide. Are Democrats really so moronic that they fall for this stuff?

Silly leftist. The firings aren't indiscriminate.
Do our local JF MAGA posters realize they are unpaid Russian trolls? You don’t know it, but you are. I’ve caught you cutting and pasting bot comments from Reddit and Twitter multiple times. You just repost obvious Russian bot posts, are you even aware of this?
At least the farmers get paid, you guys are like cattle to them.
So JF, are our MAGA’s real people or Russian bots? Is there a difference now?

What makes you think they aren't? AfD is the fastest growing political party in Germany, and came in second in voting. The CDU and SPD coalition has labeled AfD as anti-Establishment, too edgy and punk rock for Germany. When the ruling party does something dumb, and they certainly will because government, who do you think will be first in the mind of the Germany people to be Not-the-CDU-SPD-Coalition?
