I'm just surprised I'm getting exactly what I voted for, and more... and it's only April. The most I honestly expected were some lesser-known government agencies getting shuttered, maybe a bipartisan omnibus spending bill with a few provisions I thought were reasonable, and more liberal screeching with a second Trump term. Hoo boy, will the remainder of Trump's time in office be a blast to witness. Inshallah the midterms won't throw a wrench in the Zion Don's plans, and that Vance successfully wins 2028. Still getting ahead of myself by thinking about such things, but man would it be awesome and funny.

If the shitty Appleslop needed to be made in a third world country and I was in charge of Apple I'd choose Botswana. One of the few third world countries that not an absolute shithole and whose people seem to genuinely want to improve their country and not be vassals of some commie or hyperglobalist force.

Yeah that's the problem the government of Botswana is likely to actually care if they're citizens are mistreated..... I mean that and the fact that its a land locked country in a politically unstable neighborhood. In short apple probably wouldn't get the go ahead to do whatever the hell they wanted. and they would have to contend with making a luxury product in a region of the world where banditry is still a real problem.

First off this was one company foxxcon at one factory in one country from 2009-2010 and the suicide rate for foxxcon and Chinese factory workers as a whole has plummeted. Second the third world has way lower suicide rates then the west and developed countries in Asia like China,japan and Korea third ceo's have a high suicide rate does that man they are oppressed to ?


Where did I say I was an occupy wall street dem ? Where did I defend hedge funds or even mention them

Defending wall street as the american middle class has gotten more poor while they got richer over these past few decades is certainly pro worker, so pro worker that factories have shut down and our now service industry economy has left the people who aren't smart enough or can afford the certs/education needed to work in said industries left behind.

I'm just going to take a wild guess this woman would be losing her shit if a republican made the same joke about Hillary? Also do we really live in an agr were we have to remind people wishing death on others is wrong?
 
President Trump: "The Democrats have taken a lot of beatings. They have lost their confidence. They've gone crazy — How about their new star, Rep. Crockett? If that's their new star they're in serious trouble!"

Trump is doing nothing about housing the main cost of living issue for most Americans. He is stopping us from owning houses.

No he isn't. He's saving Gen Z. The collapse the stock market is having; HAS to happen. It WILL happen but you can either mitigate it quickly and handle it well or let everyone go broke. The WEF wanted everyone to go broke so they could wipe out the middle class entirely. What Trump is doing is wiping out billions in inflated dollars with no actual backing to it that can never be maintained. He's replaced the fractured economy with one that can be solvent by forcing burdens onto other countries. He's created an entirely new market of wealth for the US to accumulate to allow the value of the dollar to adjust and deflate naturally while simultaneously course correcting.

What you people don't seem to fucking get is that America is and always was facing an apocalyptic financial collapse and it's 1010% globalism and Boomers faults. The thing nobody understands is: MILLENIALS HAVE FUCKING NOTHING. They're broke and living at home. Their 401ks are worthless. They own little stock. Have no companies and the stock they can buy is manipulated. They have no access to the wealth making systems outside of JewTube because they are effectively priced out and regulated out of every market. The moment the Boomers die, wealth collapses in the US. They'll pass down their homes and wealth, but nobody will be able to buy because the average millennial at fucking 40 has a lifetime retirement fund of under 30-40k without inheritance. At least half of Millenials and Gen Z are banking on inheritance to be able to afford a home and retirement. You CANNOT be solvent this way. Decades of goyslop and barring plebs from learning about the financial game has resulted in a retarded tier generations that are going to wipe out everything because everything was denied to them. Once the Boomers die off, the value is going to crash. Nobody will be able to afford what they had and it'll become unsellable. The kids will be forced to take losses on million dollar properties because thats the real trick the WEF wanted.

Course correction and a controlled crash is our only way through this.

I trust poso. He did his research very well with the bulletproof book on the 1st assassination. Almost like he took some notes from us, as we were ahead of the curve in a lot of details. One crazy ass element that he found out was that someone cut out his archived yearbook school photo.

Either someone in the Biden admin looked the other way and failed to report/arrest him or the Ukrainians did. This doesn't look good.

I blame China and Clinton. China was allowed to join the WTO in 2000. And Clinton for sign NAFTA into law. Among other things.

Plus Clinton's dogged, relentless efforts, picked up from Bush 41, to have Red China granted most favoured trading status. This despite many in his own party, like one congressfelon from San Francisco, being against it (before they were for it).

Let's stop pretending the United States is the global hegemon because we are the "most moral", its because we benefit the most from this position and we stomp out any opposition not because "preserving democracy" or "upholding American values", it's usually because we want to stay as the top dog.
Click to expand...
I disagree

If we cared about being top dog that much we wouldnt have passed a bunch green enivormental laws nor would we have sent our manufacturing over seas. Basically offshoring our working and enviromental issues.

We as americans are very much up our own ass, we dont care that much about how the world sees us, we dont even think about the world.

This disinterest allow goverment workers to form clicks and enrich themselves by selling influence.

The same disinterest is why people want our money because we dont plat the same fuck fuck games other parties would.

China can only survive in the global order they speed ran industrializing after decades of civil war and domestic leadership issues.

The problem is they are by design a export economy and worse they just do the dirty shit like lithium refining etc.

Forcing them to use their own goods would be good for them IMO

Some recent remarks from United States President Donald Trump:
"I had somebody say the most successful first month... now they said the most successful 100 days in the history of our country, and I believe that's right — and we're going to continue that way."

"The shrill voices that you're hearing this week about tariffs are the same scoundrels and frauds who never thought twice about when the United States lost 90,000 factories and plants... since NAFTA."

“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”

Wtf .

Commies programming confused.
 

Coming soon.... a $1 Trillion Defense Department Budget.

With much of the globe and American public focused exclusively on tariff mania, President Trump as well as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth unveiled massive news on Monday, which would have normally made a bigger impact in headlines.

The Pentagon will soon have its first $1 trillion budget. President Trump said while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, "Nobody’s seen anything like it. We have to build out military, and we’re very cost-conscious, but the military is something we have to build, and we have to be strong."

Trump announces record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget:

"$1 trillion, and nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very cost conscious. But the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong, because you got a lot of bad… pic.twitter.com/koqrAxPiKj

But ironically the announcement comes as the administration has been aggressively seeking to root out government waste and excess spending. The reality is that for decades both sides of the aisle have allowed defense spending to balloon unchecked. That looks to continue, and the big winner remains the military-industrial complex even amid a DOGE crackdown.

Hegseth too made the announcement on X while sharing the video of Trump praising the future one trillion dollar budget. "Thank you Mr. President! COMING SOON: the first TRILLION dollar [Defense Department] budget," the Pentagon chief said.

Even though the Department of Defense (DoD) has never had an official budget which reached that figure, it remains the actual cost of total US military spending has for several years running actually exceeded $1 trillion.

Biden's 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) totaled $895 billion, so a trillion appears the next natural progression, given the out of control nature of defense spending.
