Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

If it’s done, we are not going to be America anymore. Doesn’t matter who does it. Terrible idea if the right stacks the court, changes voting procedures, etc all for the purposes to keep the left out of office. Unacceptable. The left will champion it now knowing one day they will take over and change everything towards the left.

This will end as the biggest disaster of a decision in our countries history when it comes to separation of power. I’m sickened listening to this.

If the GOP does this it just gives the next Dem administration carte blanche to take full advantage. So the GOP either needs to do this with the intention of ending our "constitutional republic" or understand they just gave the other party every excuse to go nuts and place all the blame on the GOP.

That's the problem. If the country is going to be screwed, I want it screwed in the direction of the right. Not the left.

I understand, but that is also not the correct way at all. I’m worried about it heading that way. The abuse of power to make the Democrats submit is not how we should be leading. This last proposal with the 1 year credit for Obamacare by the democrats should be passed and both come together to fix it. Proving you have the biggest dick and making them submit is what I was worried the left will do and they will do it 10x worse in a few short years. Just a terrible time to for the American people right now.

Focus on the economy only! Economy only should be the priority. Help any way you can.

And get the damn government reopened. All the wrong people are hurt by a government shutdown.
 
"Democrats are offering a very simple compromise," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability."

Republicans however do not want health care to be affordable. Darn it.
 
Btw, remember when DOGE and trumpers were freaking out about all the money spent on USAID?
Well the total budget last year was 45 billion for USAID.
Huge deal. Wasteful bigly.
But here Argentina, have 40 billion. No problem with that.

Dudes I work with just kept repeating that there are 53 Republicans in the senate and it takes 60 votes, so...

And that was pretty much the point. All 53 Republicans voted for the Republican proposal, and all the Democrats voted against it. Point proven. Case closed.

Oh, that meant this was completely the Democrats fault, just in case that was not at all clear since the facts presented don't make or not make that case at all.

It's like if I said "2+3=5, but if you don't have the 2, then you don't have the 5, see what I'm saying?"

This photo is really pretty amazing.

I've gone back to look at it a few times now and I think it defines Trump as well as anything I've ever seen.

It’s priceless, lol! The poor guy’s feet up in the air, with Trump’s face saying “Did he have to do this now?!” And RFK Jr. fleeing the room “like somebody was trying to vaccinate him”.

I remember when he visited a town that had been destroyed by a tornado during his first term. There was a kid that was picked up by the tornado on deposited far away from where he was picked up, mostly unscathed.
trump was in front of the cameras with the kid talking about how amazing the story was (which is true. It was an amazing story). trump was just acting all excited and happy about it. Then someone told him that the poor kids entire family was killed by the tornado. Now, after hearing that a normal human would be saddened and show sympathy and sorrow. Not trump though. He was still giddy and simply responded by talking about how amazing it was that the boy got taken by the tornado yet was still ok.
Thats how I remember it anyway. I will see if I can find a link about it.

Typical for a psychopath.
 
I heard that there is likely a deal getting done to open the government.
I guess the Democrats will be able to vote in December to extend the expiring ACA subsidies or something.

The deal is based on a "promise" to vote on the ACA. It won't pass, so this is giving up the ACA and watching tens of millions lose health care coverage. That means their primary source of health care will be in the form of emergency room visits, which is more expensive for all of us than what is going on now.

Ya it's pretty stupid that a party is exists that seems intent on ****ing over millions of Americans for no good reason.
I know their "good reason* is saving money but while they want to save money by ****ing over Americans in need, they also want to give away billions to Argentina and cut taxes for the rich and build expensive ball rooms and have lavish decadent parties for trump and spend tons on military parades etc.

The cruelty is the point for them it seems.

Btw I read that one of trumps billionaire buddies invested a bunch of money based on the Argentinian economy. He was losing a bunch of money because Argentinas economy was going on the crapper.
trump is trying to boost their economy so his billionaire buddy can profit.

Don't know if that is true as I just saw it in a YouTube comment and haven't looked it up at all for verification. Wouldn't surprise anyone though if it were true. trump will help billionaires when he can. Average Americans? **** em

Seems like it basically boiled down to this: Democrats realized that Republicans are so hell bent on screwing over the 24 million people whose healthcare premiums are going skyrocket that they are also willing to continue to screw over SNAP recipients, federal workers, and airline travelers until the end of time too. So Democrats realized that simply allowing Republicans to screw over the 24 million americans whose healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket is better than also continuing to screw over SNAP recipients, federal workers and airline travelers too.

Trump found yet another distasteful way to profit from the presidency

Coast Guard members were given the opportunity to line the commander-in-chief's pockets directly by purchasing his branded alcohol.
www.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com

President Donald Trump has spent much of his second term so far doing, well, exactly the sorts of things he would be doing if he weren’t president. He’s been busy renovating the White House to more closely resemble his gilded temple to opulence at Mar-a-Lago. He’s been hawking wares with his name slapped on them to anyone willing to open their wallet. And at least one branch of the military has been given the chance to give back to their commander in chief directly.

Forbes reported Friday that bottles of Trump-branded wine and cider were available for purchase at two Coast Guard Exchanges, which “sell tax-free goods to members of the Coast Guard and other qualified customers, such as active duty and retired military, and civilian employees.” A display of the Trump-brand beverages was posted on Instagram last week, before Forbes confirmed their presence with both the Washington, D.C., and Centreville, Virginia, stores.

The gauzy patina of separation between the president’s day job and his side hustles has grown thinner over the course of this year. The New Yorker’s David Kirkpatrick estimates that, as of August, Trump and his family have raked in more than $3.4 billion since he was sworn in for his second term. Forbes’ Dan Alexander, one of the top trackers of Trump’s net worth, put the Trump haul at $3 billion as of September.

Just last month, the president was caught on a hot mic during his recent international jaunt to Egypt trying to arrange a meeting between Eric and the president of Indonesia, where the Trump family recently inked a golf course deal.

But he doesn't take a salary!
 
One thing I keep seeing trumpers say is that these subsidies were done due to covid but since covid is over it doesn't make sense to keep the subsidies.
But it does make sense to make peoples insurance premiums go up by insane amounts? That does make sense? Maybe we could just keep the subsidies but change the name/reason. Instead of the "covid" subsidies we could call them the "preventing millions of americans from being unable to have healthcare" subsidies. Maybe that would make trumpers think they make sense?
