OT, state of union

You do realize a President doesn't control the price of gasoline, right?

I only bring it up because you did.

Also, do they drectly? No. Indirectly? Yes, they can.

Trump/Republicans aren't going to get the support they had in 24, especially with the youth. Being Isreal first and not willing to use power while he has the house/senate is turning away so many people. Turnout is going to be bad for Republicans which is what they honestly deserve. They can't even pass the save act which would ensure they win in the future. Dems are going to take the house and white house and then use the power to impeach trump, go after all their enemies and bring in millions of illegals again.

It would be a waste of tax dollars to impeach Trump so I bet they will do that. But it would be beyond stupid to lighten up on the boarders. So they will probably try to do that as well. That'll pave the way for a Republican victory in 28.

K, this video is actually really stupid and he completely contradicts himself by lying.

He talks about context and nuances (very important, I agree), mileading and dangerous narratives. He goes on to talk about the SOTU and uses the example of Dems sitting down instead of standing. Check the 1:20 mark.

In his example, he's trying to repeat what Trump said during the SOTU and within this story telling he says, "All immigrants are bad. Well, I mean, nit the white ones, obviously. They're cool. But the brown immigrants though, violent psychopaths".

Again, this turd is implying that that was said or implied by Trump during the SOTU.

So this mf'er tries to say that Republicans dont understand context or nuances when he in fact purposely lies just so people like you @Claud-Henry Smoot fall for it and think our side are the bad guys.

Both sides are probably the bad guys but the side being led by a kiddie ****** and racist probably could do better. The left is such a mess they cant get one solid candidate to make a run in 28. Jon Stewart once said the Rs are playing chess while the Ds are stapling their balls to their thighs. Im sure there are some good people in our government but they just get drowned out by the carnival barkers putting on a show while lining their pockets.

I agree with most of this. I'll say though, that the good people in our government are also loud, you're just choosing not to listen to them. And/or the media doesn't give them the time that others are receiving.

It's unfortunate you shared a video of someone who is being dishonest, yet posing as someone who is honest. Not good in how you interpret the other side.

I mean the video is of a comedian who is also trying to move tickets and getting attention with political commentary apparently moves the needle. It certainly does here

Same here...my dong is black.

Lucky you!

 

[regoratsginrom]

Apparently you were ok with it when MTG and Boobert did the same thing with Biden???

You people are clueless.

I wasn’t. It’s bad form for anyone to do that during the SOTU. Don’t care which side it is.

 

[regoratsginrom]

It’s because they’re lazy. They should be working a part-time job on the weekends or evenings, going to night school, reading books, learning, attending seminars and webinars.

People have things in this world to the extent that they want them. Your want is lacking. I’m only giving a break to the severely disabled.

It doesn’t have to be 10%. It just has to be something and be consistent. So many people don’t have the discipline or financial intelligence to do it. Pay yourself before anyone else. I realize people have bills to meet. But I’m amazed at how much money people waste on stupid things (cigarettes…$5 coffees…manicures…tanning…and things of that ilk. etc.)

You seem to be pretty serious in your comments throughout this thread. Why post something that comes off as serious & factual when it's clearly biased & wrong from an obvious grifter?

And pets!!! So many people who struggle with money have pets. And I'm not talking goldfish either. Like 1-3 dogs/cats and they'll spend a fortune on vet bills.

Of course a President can control the price of gasoline. It's easy through EO's. Biden drove the price up dramatically thanks to his climate change EOs. Trump simply cancelled those EOs and we are back at a somewhat reasonable gas average. Once Trump's "drill baby, drill" efforts are in full effect, you can expect gas prices to drop even further.

[suffocation_]

I quoted what Trump said in his SOTU, and then proved that gas price wasn't $1.85 when he was in DM.

The IDALS Weekly Report for the week ending January 28, 2026, shows that wholesale ethanol blends (E-70/E-85) were trading at $1.73 per gallon before taxes. With Iowa's fuel tax structure, this puts the retail price exactly in the $1.85 range the President mentioned.

Maybe Trump was referring to you with his campaign statement "I love the poorly educated"?

Of course he loves the poorly educated, you "people" give him more attention than anyone.

Anything else, shitforbrains?
