US Politics the 2025 trump presidency thread

[someguyontheinternet]

uhhh

No. Never happened



Google. Easy

google told you? like the search engine?

or did you search and then follow a link to another site?

because then that other site would be the source, google itself isn't really a source of data its an indexer

I think its important to remember that anybody can host a website and put whatever they want on it, I do it regularly and I don't need anyone's permission just a credit card

perhaps you're referencing a site I put up?

First result from Google.

It's an AD!

Dave Ramsey's single claim to fame is writing book on how to become a millionaire!!

The study consisted of him calling people (who was chosen is not explained) and the respondants SELF-REPORTED how they obtained their wealth. So someone left $999,999 who managed to make an entire $1 would qualify!

But how did he get these people's numbers? Exactly who is going to take a call from someone they don't know from Adam and state they began with no money whatsoever and ended up being worth over $1 million? It's such a bizarre and transparent pitch to sell HIS books, only an idiot wouldn't even Google the names and figure out what was going on.

The thing is, we should be able to have decent discussion and exchange of idea even with those we aren't friends with.

Focus on your topic too sometimes you all.

Is it just me or does it seem like the 2025 Trump presidency hasn't delivered on the many promises.

I, for one, am disgusted that the price of eggs were $6.55/dozen the day he took office and within a month had increased to $8.11 a dozen.

I cannot believe that Donald Trump would knowingly lie to the electorate so is his arithmetic just really bad and/or is 'Big Egg' responsible for price-fixing?

I have asked that same thing and not got a straight answer -- "Those of you still supporting the administration; what are you seeing with the economy, the constitution, Canada and Greenland?" And largely get no answer as I believe most know it is an indefensible position.

You can't believe he would knowingly lie, really? Are you familiar with his work lol. Also his arithmetic is bad----I believe he honesty thought he was gunna somehow save money with 'tariffs' as he has been spouting off about em since the 80's when he was maybe maybe not on an Island with Epstein.

Pam Bondi said (So someone approved?) that trump had saved 250 million Americans from dying from fentanyl already --- think there is 350 in the country. 6 bankruptcies including a casino -- Yea his math is not great.

,
get along I was just about to --- mortal KOMMBATTT. As long as you aren't harming anyone you think and type whatever you please and we are cool. Doxxing "Ice'ing" members would not be so cool and I presume is not 'allowed'. (Comforting)

There are those in this thread (and online) who are insulting to others without even realizing they are doing it. Then, if they get a bit of angst back, they whine about that. I'm not going to point fingers at one or another person or side. Maybe we can just point that out when it does happen so we can see the roots of the shittiness. This post will (hopefully) stop that from happening for a while, but I have faith.

Senate Republicans narrowly pass Trump's 'big, beautiful' spending bill

Vice-President JD Vance casts the tie-breaking vote after more than 24 hours of intense debate, sending the bill back to the House.

www.bbc.com

50/50 vote with Vance playing the decider - goes back to the house where there remains opposition and uncertainty.

Glad I'm not on subsidies or work in a place that supports the people who are most vulnerable as I had been doing for the past 15 years...

People will suffer while some people get even wealthier.

I cannot believe that Donald Trump would knowingly lie to the electorate

truly?

some days it seems like all he does is lie to the electorate. and it's everything - big promises and little details. everything.

before the last election he said he'd build a wall and mexico would pay for it.

never happened.

he said he'd repeal obamacare and replace it with something much better.

never happened.

he said he'd simplify the tax code.

never happened.

he said he'd boost economic growth to 3.5% (per year on average).

never happened.

he said he'd eliminate gun-free zones in schools.

never happened.

he said he'd create a national right to concealed carry.

never happened.

he said he'd champion a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on congress members.

never happened.

he said he'd rebuild the country's infrastructure.

never happened.

he said he'd never take vacations.

he took plenty.

and thousands of other lies.

on this second-term go around, he said he'd end the war in ukraine before day 1 and bring down prices on day 1. more lies.

all he does is lie.

I guess Irony doesn't travel too well.

I'm still waiting for that 'big, beautiful wall' that Maxico was going to pay for.

The real question?

Is he mentally capable of even knowing that he's lying.

Non compos mentis​
