And LOL that his net approval on Inflation with Independents is worse than Biden's (- 45) points

And wait until they see the inflation that's coming ...

Honestly, I know quite a few more moderate Republicans who didn't believe the Project 2025 messaging, or that it would happen, who are now really pissed and honestly a bit embarrassed.

MAGALAND loves what's happening, most of the rest of America... Not so much.

MAGALAND would willingly give him their first-born if he asked them to. They are the best example ever of voting against their own interests.

I actually have to give some credit to the dems on this inflation issue.

We're not really talking about it much but IMHO, there is also going to be significant inflation going forward in the price of illegal street drugs. Want to escape from your TDS for a while with some crack? Going to cost you more.

Likewise, I can only imagine that price for sex with minors from 3rd world countries is going to start rising as well. For those looking to buy one of those minors outright, the impact on the going rate is probably going to be even more severe. I can only imagine how difficult of a decision it will be to sell your kids outright and forego the future income stream that they would generate by renting them out. Going to be harder than hell to replace them now that the darn Pubs have made importing them so much harder than when the Dems were in charge.

True but with his popularity tanking, just think about all the money you can save on Trump collectibles. The price for a Trumpy Bear is falling faster than your mom can unbutton her overalls.

This is pretty much what I expected. I knew there would be good and bad to come with a Trump presidency. You’re going to get volatility, brashness, recklessness, etc. I feel like both admins would have had incompetent buffoons in them, so I would t call that a major point of differentiation.

But policy wise, Trump was going to be much better than the alternative. Certainly a handful of things I disagree with (posted a list not long ago) and things I hoped would be more effective (DOGE), but I’m not pissed or embarrassed.

I had the right expectations though. I didn’t expect anything close to perfect. I didn’t expect prices to dramatically drop or inflation to stop overnight. I accepted there may be short term pain involved with certain things (tariffs, exporting illegals, etc).

On the flip side, we already have progress in 6 months. We avoided hiking taxes significantly on hardworking families, which Kamala would have done. We’re attempting to clamp down on entitlements, which is the main spending category we have to address. Common sense has returned to a wide variety of issues, like not giving biased, preferential treatment to people based on DEI and instead focusing on merit, as it should be. The border was quickly secured. There have been numerous, common sense issues that should be supported by 95% of the country, but the left would never address (see my 95-5 comments to those). The good far outweighs the bad when comparing to a Kamala presidency.

I post a satirical post that is 100% truthful and you come back immediately in oposition with and attempt to deflect with a laughable personal attack against my mother thrown in.

My mom didn't wear overalls. But she was the daughter of a coal miner. Lived in a house along a road that dead ended into the mine. My grandfather, her dad, worked that mine starting with a pick in his hand loading ore carts pulled by mules that lived in that mine and died there. The creek running next to the house ran orange wiht sulfer from the mine. The drinking water from the well smelled and tasted the same. But that's what they had. I drank it and I remember. The basement of the house was short in height. Short, because my grandfather dug it by hand after coming home from his shift at the mine. He dug under the house and made the basement so my grandmother wouldn' t have to go outside to the detached garage to do laundry.

My mom was accepted given a scholarship (only way she could have attended) and graduated as a RN from the nursing school at the local "big city" which was a very big deal. and had a very successful career as a surgical nurse, nurse in charge of a floor at a hospital and more.

**** You.
Wait, because I responded to your joke about the price for crack and sex with minors going up with a joke about how you can make up the difference on Trump collectibles, you took that as a personal attack?

Jeez dude, I didn't mean YOUR mother, it was just a funny way of saying fast, I thought. In retrospect, it was in poor taste so I apologize. You're one of the few conservatives on the board I like and respect so I definitely wouldn't want you to feel personally insulted. Your mom sounds like a great lady so I'm sorry for the offensive comment.

You need to shut your pie hole. American citizens keeping more money in their possession is a good thing.
How is that? Are you saying they get to keep their tax fraud easier?

I certainly don’t want IRS weaponized, in either direction.

but never understood the opposition. I do think the tax code should be simpler, but until it is, having more IRS customer service agents to answer the phones and answer questions from American’s should be bipartisan. Have more agents to catch actual fraud from high earners (like Hunter Biden) which puts more revenue into the government, again, as long as it isn’t weaponized, should also be bipartisan. Feels like conservatives have been for defunding the tax police to me.

If a president criticizes the media, it’s “fascism”… but when the last administration worked with Big Tech to censor speech, suppress a true story about Hunter’s laptop, labeled dissenters as threats, and tried to launch an actual Disinformation Governance Board, that was apparently just “public safety.”

So spare me the fake outrage. If your idea of a “free press” is taxpayer-funded platforms acting as partisan mouthpieces with zero accountability, maybe the problem isn’t Trump... it’s the fact your side can’t survive without information control.

More obnoxious, partisan misinformation - most broadcast and cable networks are privately funded through advertising, subscriptions and corporate sponsorships and shouldn't be subjected to harsh government penalties imposed because of the feelings of the perpetually victimized White House potato. In a democracy, the only penalty should be changing the channel.

This post is either pure ignorance or intentionally disingenuous... designed to spoon-feed mental midget, useful idiot liberals who couldn’t fact-check a lunch menu. We know certain media networks... including outlets under NPR, PBS, and others... receive public funding through USAID, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and other taxpayer-backed channels. That’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s called a budget line item. If your brain can’t process the difference between privately owned and publicly subsidized, then you’re not ready for this conversation.

Dude, how about STFU, I'm about done with your obnoxious misinformation. We're talking about CBS and other networks that have the unmitigated gall to criticize the president, a staple of democracy, NOT PBS.

You’re either wildly misinformed or just hoping the people reading your tantrum are dumb enough not to notice you’ve shifted the goalposts entirely. First you scream about “fascism” and state persecution of media, then when you get called out, you pretend this is only about CBS “criticizing the president.” Cute deflection... but it doesn’t work.

Let’s be clear: no one’s trying to censor CBS for criticism. Trump has every right to sue for defamation if false claims are made... just like any citizen in a free country. Winning lawsuits against networks for lying isn’t fascism... it’s proof the system works. And as for him criticizing Kimmel and Fallon? You’re seriously calling mean tweets about late-night clowns fascism? Grow up.

Also, your original argument lumped in “broadcast and cable networks,” which includes publicly funded outlets like PBS and NPR... and yes, those should absolutely face scrutiny when they abuse taxpayer support to push partisan narratives. So don’t act like this is just about brave CBS journos being “persecuted” for speaking truth to power. No one’s stopping them from talking. We’re just finally talking back. And clearly, that’s what’s bothering you.

Dude, you're such a lying fraud.

The post that you responded to said:

"CNBC: When the FCC's Anna Gomez writes that 'you're imposing never been seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment in direct violation of the First Amendment,' you say what? FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR: I think it's time for a change"

Note the phrases "newsroom decisions(plural)" and "editorial judgment" Nowhere in that post did it say anything about PBS or ONLY CBS, so feel free to read it again. You're the one who injected "taxpayer funded platforms" when that wasn't even what the discussion was about and when I followed up with "broadcast and cable networks", that should have been your clue that I wasn't talking about the ONE partially taxpayer funded network, I was speaking about all networks in general but mostly the (3) main 3 letter networks, hence the only one misinformed here, I mean lying, is you.

Another lie - he didn't sue them for defamation , he sued them because he didn't like the way they edited Kamala's interview, while ignoring that FoxNews does the same with his. Anyone with a scintilla of brain matter recognizes this for what it is - an intimidation tactic by a weak and insecure man who is going after every entity that might be critical of his administration so they'll be afraid of crossing him again. And LOL at mean tweets about Kimmel and Fallon, even the dumbest amongst us recognizes the inherent threat there, but as you would say, cute deflection.

You’re frothing at the mouth over a post you didn’t even comprehend. The only one misrepresenting the argument here is you. You’re cherry-picking quotes and pretending they exist in a vacuum... typical tactic when you don’t have a real rebuttal. The discussion around taxpayer-funded platforms is relevant because it’s part of the broader media accountability conversation... which you pretended to be having until it no longer served your narrative. You referenced “broadcast and cable networks” and the FCC... which absolutely includes PBS and NPR, both of which fall under FCC regulation and receive federal funding via the CPB. So no, I didn’t “inject” anything... you just failed to keep up.

As for the CBS lawsuit... Trump sued them over false and manipulated content during an election season. That’s not “he didn’t like the edit”... that’s alleging intentional misrepresentation. And unlike your hysterical meltdown, lawsuits are how disputes are legally resolved in this country. If the media lies or distorts, they’re not immune just because they have a logo. That’s not “fascism.” That’s called using the system. If you were half as outraged when Biden’s admin colluded with Big Tech to silence dissent or when the DNC helped bury Hunter’s laptop story before an election, you might be taken seriously. But we both know your outrage is selective and your reading comprehension is worse than your logic.

You want to talk threats? Calling out late-night hacks who act as unpaid DNC operatives isn’t one. But labeling Americans domestic terrorists for going to school board meetings? That was your side. Read better? Buddy, try thinking better. You’re swinging and missing like it’s your job.

You didn’t steal anyone’s lunch money... you’ve been getting intellectually pantsed post after post and too dense to realize it. You’re the debate equivalent of a participation trophy: loud, empty, and here to make the real players look sharper by comparison. Calling what you’re doing “winning” is like a toddler thinking he won a chess match because he ate the pieces. Keep swinging, junior. Every reply just proves you’re the village dumbass trying to shadowbox your way out of repeated humiliation.

Fox settled a defamation lawsuit... not because they admitted guilt, but because it was a strategic legal move to manage risk. A settlement is not a conviction. It doesn’t prove ideological bias either; it proves that even media giants face consequences when false claims are made. You can’t broadcast baseless accusations in prime time and then act shocked when you’re held accountable.

Are you trying to use semantics to suggest that Fox News wasn't guilty of spreading lies and propaganda to fit their right wing echo chamber narratives? They strategically managed their risk to the tune of losing nearly a BILLION DOLLARS with similar lawsuits to come lol. Almost as bad as God strategically managing the choice of Trump to end the victimization of women and children.

Trump orders English ONLY in schools, hospitals, government offices and all public service

President Donald Trump dropping all other languages saying if you are in the United States you need to speak English, otherwise you can go back to your own country.

"Speak English or get out of my country".

Starting in August, English will be the only official language recognized in the United States.

Under this policy, all public services including schools, hospitals and government offices will only provide services in English.

Public signs forms and website content will start to eliminate Spanish-language versions.Bilingual options will no longer be considered standard.

Trump saying "If you want to live in the United States, speak English. It is the language of our country."

Trump also said that a unified language helps strengthen national identity and promote social integration. He also said that language fragmentation is being exploited by certain groups to 'weaken America's cohesion.'

Hopefully, we will stop hearing " Press 1 for English" and seeing TV commercials in Spanish.
