As the ship that is this country sinks due to an incompetent captain, it is good to see his loyalist have every intention of going down with it.

Imagine buying into his lies, racism, and hate. Trump sure knows his suckers.

So now we're no longer blaming him for "not stopping it" but switching over to blaming him for not tweeting about it... OK. Goal posts moved. Got it.

If you led with that it would've saved a lot of time.

That's a strawman. Im blaming him for not taking action. My response was a rebuttal to the notion he didn't act or say anything because it wouldn't work.

Some of you really think Trump can do no wrong. Hes doing a good job but some of his missed issues are crushing middle class America, eg offshoring and allowing black rock to wreck the home market.

Really, have you by chance looked at what fayette county public schools has spent my tax money on?

Surely if you live in central ky theres no way to miss the nonstop stories.

All this money is wasted at central office. Very little goes to students or in room teachers
To name a few huge items the ad Valorem covers:

They are completely rebuilding all the high schools.

-teacher salaries for all elementary, middle schools and high schools.

-road paving and maintenance

-parks

-golf courses. Lake side GC. Tates Creek.
Kearney

You are paying to educate our youth, so they can later qualify for a job to support a family and buy a house of their own.

Gutfeld made a great point on why the left cannot meme. Their ideas and beliefs are so ridiculous and never work that it’s easy for the right. It’s hard to meme the opposition when their beliefs are common sense.

Trump has taught Republicans how to win. Instead of always cowering to Dems just make fun of how stupid they are and let them bury themselves. Never in my life have I seen Dems getting owned as bad as they are right now. Even many in the MSM are not covering for them. Vance has learned the way and is much more articulate than Trump. He will be perfect to carry the torch (if Trump does not run again in 2028😂)
in fairness, the left has gone off the deep end in the last 20 years. the SPRINT to madness has been amazing.

but i guess there wasn't a whole lotta memes 20 years ago lol. I'm still waking up...

Keep renting. I’ll keep collecting monthly positive cash flow, yearly gains in equity, and large tax deductions on my rentals.

I don't rent, but I know people who do have clean 1/2 BR apts that they can "AFFORD" and no maintenance/repair fees. They are paying for a place to live....same as those who bought a home. The equity part of this is so overblown in today's culture.

For someone who preaches DEI and so forth, I am shocked you are preaching about capitalism.

I appreciate all their efforts. I just think they should cool it on the social media posts where they pound their chest over nabbing 4 illegals.

I understand any progress is good, but save the crowing for bigger news.

Nope. They need to be broadcasting whenever possible, and pounding their chests loudly. We have sat back and watched the decay, and it is past time to let these brave souls get their time.

Its wearing thin on the average American. Many here didn't buy it when i warned Trump overplayed his hand on the kirk assassination, but everyone saw a few days later i was right.

They need to keep social media boasting limited to actual impactful results. 4 people here and 4 people there are not moving the needle, but it is wearing out their positive image in the eyes of undecided voters.

Elaborate on "crushing"

As in they cant afford a home anywhere near a city, where the jobs are located. Because home ownership is unattainable in those places, apartment demand is way up and now those prices are out of control.

That is an easy example.

Now lets add inflation that started with Trump's ill advised covid checks, that were exacerbated by Biden. Now we're still overspending.

Combine that with an abysmal job report. Programming and other jobs are in dire straits because this admin wont punish white collar outsourcing. Currently you have entire swaths of college graduates who cant find jobs because theyre shipped to the Philippines and India.

So rapidly rising costs, stagnant wages, abysmal job market and even worse job forecast for thr foreseeable future leaving college graduates with nothing. When the student loan payments restart, it will be mass bankruptcy across the nation.

The dems will offer a plan. It will be bs, but when people are desperate any plan sounds better than no plan. Trump needs to get in front of it and start finding solutions.

Good grief.....home ownership is unattainable largely due to the markets not adjusting and refusing to offer homes/new homes that your avg joe can afford. We have discussed this here before w/ Lex as an example. All you see being built are Jimmy Nash megahomes. The "affordable" homes are fixer uppers or in sub standard neighborhoods.

The rest of your post is typical left wing BS.

I lived in an apartment when I got out of the Navy. The first few months were ok, then a cockroach infestation occurred. My apartment was on the second floor apartment and I determined they were coming up through the sink. While maintenance had no problem treating my apartment, I had to convince management that I was not the source and to inspect the apartment below mine. I can only imagine how bad that apartment must have been for cockroaches to crawl throught drainage pipes to get to my apartment.

Exactly what were you right about? The only thing I know that's wearing thin on Americans is the lunacy coming from the far left. When will a Democrat besides Fetterman grow a pair and stand up to the idiots?

You literally just proved my post. Markets arent adjusting because theyre massively inflated thanks to Black Rock running wild.

In a typical housing bubble, homeowners start losing money then lose their home, driving prices down. That will never happen because Black Rock will never face that issue.

Saying Trump has deficiencies isnt left wing bs. Its called being objective. Objectivity allows one to realize Trump is doing a good job, but isnt perfect. He has massive holes that are causing big issues and opening a big political opportunity for dems to offer solutions.

That trump overplayed his hand pushing cancellations. If you cant see i was right, you're in a different echo chamber than the libs, but an echo chamber nonetheless.

That misstep caused the entire narrative to shift to censorship and cancellation. The blogosphere that was so crucial to trump winning all condemned it.

I am a capitalist who believes in taking care of the planet. I have never mentioned DEI once and don’t really care much about it.


So you advocate renting, even though you own, and have probably realized large equity gains if you have owned the property for more than five years.

Agree, Tone it down. Think much of that comes from Trump and Homan.
Trump and social media is and has always been, a bad marriage. But on the other hand, 90% of the MSM are Dems, so you seldom, if ever, get the correct story. I assume Trump knows the only way to say whatever he wants, even if it’s stupid, is social media. It’s his version of the bully pulpit.

Which is why I think social media can be dangerous as drugs and the MSM is the enemy of free America.

Corporate media is the most useless thing to rely on to be informed. It’s straight propaganda, no investigative reporting, all indebted to their advertisers and politicians. They don’t cover anything that sheds actual truth. You’ll get direct source to info by citizen journalists.

The people who try to control what you get to hear and who gets to speak and silence criticism of any group- tells you all you need to know. That’s why they wanted TikTok controlled. They need the public to stay stupid, they need the youth to want to die for them and not shine a light on what’s going on.

The stuff I’ve seen done by “our greatest ally” is so appalling. Just folders of it on telegram. If you’re not an evil POS, you don’t require having to pay influencers for posts to praise you, it doesn’t require taking over a social media platform, buying off politicians or pushing to silence speech critical of you.

false. they put out a video recently about a secure border, which was incredibly awesome.

are things perfect? NO. are things 100% better than if obama got his 4th term? YES.
