		<description>We touched on REPARATIONS before a bit..

So, it just occurred to me..

If we&#039;re gonna saddle the American taxpayer for reparations due to slavery...

It seems only fair that black people pay restitution to the American taxpayer for all the crimes and riots and death and destruction committed by black people...

THAT sounds fair???</description>

		<description>Patriotic Americans dodged a massive bullet by rejecting Kamala &quot;Headboard&quot; Harris as POTUS, sparing the nation her incoherent leadership and proven failures. 

Her recent Australian real estate conference interview, as was a cringe-inducing reminder of why she lost in 2024. 

Headboard Harris blew through TWO &lt;B&gt;BILLION&lt;/B&gt; dollars in four months, yet still tanked the election.... Not even CLOSE to allow her to be considered as &lt;B&gt;“one of the most successful women in history,”&lt;/B&gt; as the interviewer laughably claimed. I mean, one COULD say she was the most successful DEMOCRAT in history, but even THAT would be a complete and utter lie and a very VERY low bar to begin with..

Headboard Harris&#039; word-salad ramblings, like &lt;B&gt;“I eat no for breakfast”&lt;/B&gt; and droning about &lt;B&gt;“the importance of history”&lt;/B&gt; while mangling 1930s references, rival her infamous &lt;B&gt;“passage of time”&lt;/B&gt; nonsense for utter incoherent drivel...

The cackle over her unemployment? A PURE and DEAD ON BALLZ ACCURATE self-pwn. 

She walked off to Beyoncé’s Halo and a standing ovation, underscoring her complete and utter delusional disconnect.

Worse, Headboard Harris&#039; complicity in covering up Basement Biden’s cognitive decline and onset dementia , as called out by Antonio Villaraigosa, TOTALLY and COMPLETELY obliterates ANY semblance of credibility she might have had. 

She repeatedly lied, claiming Biden was “sharp as a tack,” while voters suffered the consequences of that deception, paving the way for &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s return. 

Woke progressive Democrats’ hypocrisy in shielding her only furthers their irrelevance and shoves them deeper and deeper into the political Black Forest.. 

Her potential California governor run might still haunt her, but America’s verdict was clear: not only a resounding &lt;B&gt;&quot;NO&quot;&lt;/B&gt; but a COMPLETE and UNEQUIVOCAL &lt;B&gt;&quot;FRAK NO!!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt; in 2020 and 2024.


Headboard Harris’s unelectability is a gift from and to the American people...

Keeping her sidelined ensures the nation avoids her chaotic, untrustworthy governance. 

Thank the gods for that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump was able to BURY her with his overwhelming and mandate victory!!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Victoria,
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
Silence toward a troll is a giant middle finger.
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;

That&#039;s not what your own cop-groupie buddy said..

Russ said that if you are silent on a comment, THAT means that you concede the comment.. CW has made the EXACT same point on several occasions.. Even yer hero Basement Biden made the EXACT same point on more than one occasion...

So, it&#039;s WELL ESTABLISHED that, in ya&#039;all&#039;s eyes SILENCE GIVES ASSENT&lt;/I&gt;

But hay...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;I&#039;ll be your huckleberry...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Val Kilmer, TOMBSTONE

Let&#039;s say you are factually accurate..

Let&#039;s that your silence is a &quot;big middle finger&quot; and not simply agreeing...

What does it accomplish??

What have you accomplished by ceding the field of battle to me??

It doesn&#039;t win you anything...

All it does is prove you have absolutely NO COUNTER ARGUMENT to make and your conceding the facts of my comments..

So, even if you ARE successful in &quot;ignoring&quot; me... (the fact that we&#039;re even HAVING this conversation proves you are INCAPABLE of actually ignoring me) you still get NOTHING out of it..

Only the dumb looks from your fellow Weigantians wondering why Michale has cowed you into silence, what have you accomplished???</description>

&lt;I&gt;Yeah, I know I can’t fix stupid but I’m trying to play nice. Kumbaya and shit.&lt;/I&gt;

So... You think calling someone &quot;stupid&quot; is playing nice??

		<description>@jfc[41],

it&#039;s not exactly news that the administration has no idea what goals it&#039;s even trying to accomplish on trade policy, much less how any specific tariff might relate to said aims 

why add to the story?

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Democrat Rahm Emanuel, who we should mention is considering running for president in 2028, came up with a slogan for Democrats to use when explaining this to the American people: &quot;Tax cuts for the wealthy, healthcare cuts for the many.&quot; We have to admit, that&#039;s pretty good, although there are certainly plenty of other ways to phrase the basic point. &lt;/I&gt;

OK... OK...  Since ya&#039;all seem to agree that Rahm Emanuel&#039;s point is &quot;pretty good&quot; on THIS issue.....

Then it follows that ya&#039;all MUST agree that Rahm Emanuel&#039;s point on the FOLLOWING issue is ALSO &quot;pretty good&quot;...

Rahm Emanuel’s claim that the Democrat Party brand is “weak” is spot-on. It’s ALSO a self-inflicted wound rooted in their abandonment of the working class as their primary &quot;Raison d&#039;être&quot;  and replaced it with the elite orthodoxy who gets the Democrat Party&#039;s primary focus. 

Woke progressive Democrats once championed the middle class, yet, as Emanuel noted in 2017, they’ve come off as “disdainful” of it. 

NOW the woke progressive Democrat Party is the Party of coastal elites, woke campus dogmas, and corporate apologists, alienating voters who crave authenticity. 

Mr Emanuel&#039;s blunt call to “punch the Left” and reject these orthodoxies is a wake-up call woke progressive Democrats ignored, costing them elections, including the MASSIVE UBER NUCLEAR COME-UPPANCE Election of 2024.

The hypocrisy is glaring... (so what else is new???  :eyeroll:)  Woke progressive Democrats hid Biden’s decline into senility and dementia, peddling the “sharp as a tack” bullshit for four years, completely and utterly shredding Democrat credibility. 

This complete and utter dishonesty, coupled with their cozying up to BIG CORP they once vowed to fight, has pushed the woke progressive Democrat Party into a political wilderness. 

Voters see through the facade.  Woke progressive Democrats became the “establishment” in every negative connotation of the word, just when trust in institutions cratered. 

Emanuel’s right: restoring faith in the American Dream is key, but Democrats can’t do that while clinging to their failed narratives. 

His tease of a White House bid might stir debate, but the REAL fix is grounding the party in economic populism and dealing ONLY in the facts of the here and now. 

Until woke progress Democrats confront their COMPLETE disconnect and stop BLATANTLY LYING to voters, their brand will stay weak, they will continue to roam deeper and deeper into the political BLACK FOREST and deservedly so. 

They must fight for the American people. And NOT fight for their corrupt and Trump/America hate system.

So, Weigantians??

Do ya&#039;all STILL like what Rahm Emanuel has to say???

Hmmmmmmm????


&lt;B&gt;&quot;Silence gives assent&quot;&lt;/B&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; Or perhaps something more personal, such as: &quot;Donald Trump lied to you,&quot; or &quot;Trump does not care about your family at all.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

I have to take exception to this..

The FACTS clearly prove beyond ANY doubt that it&#039;s the Democrat Party who does not care about families..

Just ask the families of Laken Riley or the families of Rachel Morin..  

I am sure they would set ya&#039;all straight as to who doesn&#039;t really care of America&#039;s families.

I&#039;m just sayin&#039;....   :^/</description>

		<description>Interesting article from the NY Slimes..  :D

&lt;B&gt;One longtime Democratic researcher has a technique she leans on when nudging voters to share their deepest, darkest feelings about politics. He asks them to compare America’s two major parties to animals.

After around 250 focus groups of swing voters, a few patterns have emerged, said the researcher, Anat Shenker-Osorio. 

Republicans are seen as “apex predators,” like lions, tigers and sharks — beasts that take what they want when they want it. 

Democrats are typically tagged as tortoises, slugs or sloths: slow, plodding, passive.

So Mr. Shenker-Osorio perked up earlier this year when a Democratic man in Georgia suggested that a very different kind of animal symbolized the party.

“A deer,” he said, “in headlights.”

The man had more to say.

“You stand there and you see the car coming, but you’re going to stand there and get hit with it anyway.”&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html

That pretty much sums up PERFECTLY the Democrat Party in the here and now, in the face of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s onslaught of nation-wide popularity..  :D

The article assesses perfectly the problem with today&#039;s Democrat Party..

It&#039;s unwillingness to honestly analyze all the problems they face and their completely misguided attempt to try and claim, &lt;B&gt;&quot;It&#039;s ALL PRESIDENT Trump&#039;s fault!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt; proves that Democrats simply do not have a clue nor an inkling of the objective reality of the here and now..

It&#039;s well established fact that, with their &lt;B&gt;&quot;Biden is as sharp as a tack&quot;&lt;/B&gt; on-going lie, the Democrat Party has lost all credibility with the American voter.. 

The problem for Democrats is they refuse to accept that one basic fact of objective reality..

Democrats feel they have NOTHING to apologize for...

Until such time as the Democrats realize they have EVERYTHING to apologize for, their path back from the political Black Forest will be forever blocked...</description>

		<description>The Fake News and the Radical Left Lunatics are saying that Fat Donny caved to the Euromonsters who rip us off at levels that nobody has ever seen before, but Big Orange NEVER backs down to anyone!

It was PRICELESS!!  :D

I bet you are going to even &quot;IGNORE&quot; this comment!!!  :D

&lt;i&gt;Chris, how did you know about this shindig? MAGA Mike said he hasn&#039;t heard about it and doesn&#039;t know anything about it! &lt;/i&gt;

Interesting. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVLhGjn1rQA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Little Marco is clueless too.&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;i&gt; &lt;b&gt;SILENCE MEANS NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU POST &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;

Silence toward a troll is a giant middle finger. Most trolls will claim that your post is proof that you care, but then the vast majority of trolls are so stupid they don&#039;t have a clue how dead from the neck up they actually are.

In conclusion: I don&#039;t care for cigarette smoke, and revealing that I don&#039;t care for it isn&#039;t some kind of magical proof that I do. 

Not rocket science. 

&lt;i&gt;There, fixed it. &lt;/i&gt;

You can&#039;t fix stupid. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;i.e. he&#039;s an expert authority on the matter, and knows how the sausage is made. &lt;/i&gt;

Tried to sell that too: Trump Steaks... introduced May 8, 2007 and discontinued two months later, July 2007.

&lt;i&gt;it&#039;s hard to tell if he actually hates with them, or if it&#039;s just part of the grift. in order to hate someone, you have to care. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir; it&#039;s likely a bit of both, but then anyone and anything that becomes an impediment to the fame whore and the perpetual grifter generally meets the wheels of the bus regardless.</description>

		<description>I am wondering if you can see the complete inanity and ridiculousness of your comment, Caddy..

I mean, sit down and REALLY analyze this situation here..  Get really down deep into the weeds of what is going on here…

By your OWN actions, you are actually bringing about the VERY THING that you CLAIM you want to stop…


Namely me posting comments.


Where is the logic in that??

Granted, it’s not as utterly moronic as the other day when Victoria expended like 30 comments trying to convince me (or maybe herself, I dunno) that she was “ignoring” me..

:eyeroll:


But it’s damn close..  


It’s clear you have 2 choices, Caddy…  You can ACTUALLY ignore me.  This involves NOT responding to my comments… NOT talking about me to others…  Basically, as far as you are concerned I don’t exist..  But, from all available facts,  you are not capable of doing that.  Don’t take that as a dig or a slam…  You like to get down into the mud..  Nothing wrong with that..

So, this only leaves your 2nd option..  Respond to my comments with facts of your own that either refute my facts or supports your claims..  If you actually are able to beat me in an actual debate enough times, I’ll probably be so embarrassed I’ll leave of my own accord..

But your current  method of “ignoring” me Victoria-style simply opens you up to some hellacious ridicule..  

I am happy either way… I am in a STELLAR mood…  I start my FTO classes next month.  Won a new car.  Life is pretty frakin’ awesome in the here and now..

But you do whatever makes you happy, Caddy…    :D

I have the next 3 days off so you and me can discuss it in depth as to how does resolve this issue are you game??

:D</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny to see are you all&#039;s comments about how president Trump hates people. When in fact there are simply no facts you have to prove that President Trump hates anyone.

On the other hand there are tons of facts to prove how much Democrats hate anyone who doesn&#039;t think exactly like them.

It&#039;s just so funny that ya&#039;all&#039;s comments are simply DRIPPING with hate on how much ya&#039;all hate &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump..  

Nobody on the planet hates as much as Democrats hate. Bona fide fact.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Donald connects broadly across the working classes when he tells them they&#039;ve been cheated, shafted, exploited, and so forth, because it&#039;s basically true. &lt;/i&gt;

Trump himself has also made a career of cheating, shafting, exploiting, grifting, etc. Trump puts on that China cheap-ass hat and prattles on and on using about a fourth-grade vocabulary so they actually believe he&#039;s one of them when nothing could be further from the truth; meanwhile, he laughs all the way to the bank at their ignorance and the ease at with which he separates them from their money. Trump bastardized bible made in China.. check, Trump cologne... check, Trump worthless digital cards... check, Trump cheap-ass hat... you &quot;betcha&quot;... made in China with a USA tag sewn inside. 

&lt;i&gt;he gives them easy targets to scapegoat in classes both above and below, which have at least a veneer of plausibility. &lt;/i&gt;

Combined with fear and the ever-present white supremacist/racism themes: DEI... people who didn&#039;t earn something will take your job and the dog whistling cries of &quot;woke.&quot; 

&lt;i&gt;so, by the time he gets to the part that&#039;s laughably false (how he&#039;s going to fix it and make it everything better), most people&#039;s limbic systems are fully in charge, and their critical thinking skills have long since been left by the wayside. &lt;/i&gt;

Yes, sir. Trump hates who they hate, and the amygdala is in full fear and loathing overload.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The repeal deals a blow to California’s ambition of accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. But the consequences will ripple across the country. That’s because 11 other states intended to follow California’s plan and stop selling new gas-powered cars by 2035. Together, they account for about 40 percent of the U.S. auto market.&#039;&lt;/I&gt;

First off, it&#039;s completely and utterly ridiculous to be pushing EVs when the infrastructure to SUPPORT the use of EVs is completely and utterly NOT available..  Further, the technology doesn&#039;t exist to make EVs viable beyond the niche/golf cart market...

But what&#039;s REALLY interesting is how you are pushing un-ready and un-supported EVs on the American people, yet remain strangely silent when your woke progressive Democrats are busy committing terrorism by destroying EVs, EV dealers and what little EV infrastructure that DOES exist..

Why are you silent in the face of such domestic terrorism committed by woke progressive Democrats??

Because, obviously, Party/Ideological loyalty and subservience is &quot;Uber Alles&quot;....   :eyeroll:

&lt;B&gt;&quot;I&#039;m done with THIS guy....&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Can someone please explain to me why these folks don&#039;t resign when they realize the end is near?&lt;/I&gt;

The answer is easy...

Democrats are SOLELY about political power.. 

Once achieved, they NEVER want to give it up..

As that facts clearly PROVE, Democrats would DIE before giving up political power..

In short, Democrats are ONLY about themselves and their own power... 

What&#039;s not to understand???  Why are you confused by this??

Here is an excellent article to edumacate yourself..  :D

		<description>And another dishonorable mention goes to the ONLY Democratic Senator to cast the deciding vote to roll back a much-needed regulation. (While I understand her divided loyalties, it is unconscionable that she decided to &quot;stand with Republicans&quot;.)
&#039;The only Democrat to vote to block the California policy was Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, whose state is the center of the U.S. auto industry.
...
The repeal deals a blow to California’s ambition of accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. But the consequences will ripple across the country. That’s because 11 other states intended to follow California’s plan and stop selling new gas-powered cars by 2035. Together, they account for about 40 percent of the U.S. auto market.&#039;

		<description>And this week&#039;s MDDOW goes to yet another Congress person who DIES in office. Can someone please explain to me why these folks don&#039;t resign when they realize the end is near? Now their constituents are denied a voice in the halls of power at a critical time. And the Huffpost helpfully points out the larger political impact:
&#039;With the death of Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.) on Wednesday, three House Democrats — all in their 70s — have died in office so far in 2025, potentially making it easier for Republicans to pass ambitious legislation enacting President Donald Trump’s policy agenda.&#039;

		<description>A handful of Democratic Senators deserve at least a dishonorable mention. They now have no leg to stand on when they criticize Trump grift. 
&#039;The Senate voted 66-32 to proceed to the legislation, with 16 Democrats in favor and two Republicans against.

By helping Republicans pass the legislation, the 16 Senate Democrats are doing a big favor for a little-respected industry that poured money into last year’s elections and is now threatening to oust lawmakers who get in its way.

The bill had been set to pass earlier this month but Democrats voted no as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised alarms about Trump’s ethically dubious plans to host a private dinner for the biggest buyers of his meme coin.&#039;

		<description>At least an honorable mention for MIDOW should go to Sen. Hassan for exposing &quot;ICE Barbie&quot;&#039;s utter incompetence to lead ANY Federal agency:
&#039;Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) hit back at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday for botching the definition of habeas corpus ... On Tuesday, a stunned Hassan swiftly checked Noem over her claim, “Excuse me, that’s incorrect.”

Hassan, who worked as a lawyer before going into politics, later continued, “Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”&#039;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And... Considering that the topic of this commentary is &quot;TRUMP LIED&quot;, it&#039;s rather ironic that you would continue to spew this &quot;TRUMP IS A RACIST&quot; lie, eh? :D&lt;/I&gt;

Further, you can hardly make the TRUMP IS A RACIST bullshit claim w/o acknowledging that Basement Biden was best friends with a KKK bigwig and is part of the political Party that actually gave this country the KKK and Jim Crow..

Every time any woke progressive Democrat tries to pin the racist tail of the Democrat Donkey on &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump, they remind patriotic Americans that, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Hay, wait a tic... Wasn&#039;t it the Democrat Party who CREATED the KKK and Jim Crow!!??&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

By all the precepts and stipulations of woke progressive Democrats, the Democrat Party should have been cancelled mosh skosh...

		<description>CW,

&lt;I&gt;We are pointedly ignoring the whole media fascination with Joe Biden, which was sparked by a tell-all book from a journalist who documented how Biden&#039;s staff hid from the media and the public his true state while he was president.

In the first place, it is water which has long since travelled under the bridge. In the second place, we feel no need for a mea culpa, since we were calling on Biden to step down long before he actually did. And in the third place, this is a lot more common than most of the public might think.&lt;/I&gt;

The claim that Basment Biden’s mental decline, exposed by several tell-all books, is “water under the bridge” dodges the Democrats’ four-year deception and utter bullshit, insisting he was “sharp as a tack.” 

By ignoring this fraud, Democrats are simply sinking deeper into a political abyss, alienating voters who value truth, honesty and justice...

The refusal of the woke progressive Democrat Party to confront this objective reality (hiding Biden’s state while gaslighting and blatantly LYING to the American people) shreds any SMIDGEN or IOTA of credibility that woke progressive Democrats might have had with the American voter.. 

Boasting about early calls for Biden to step down doesn’t absolve the dishonesty, but rather it highlights the complicity. 

The American people have KNOWN that Basement Biden was mentally incompetent for quite a while now.. As evidenced by the FACT that the woke progressive Democrats kept Basement Biden hiding in his basement for virtually ALL of the 2020 campaign..  But ya&#039;all woke progressive Democrats continued to spew the lie that Basement Biden was &quot;sharp as a tack&quot;.. Ya&#039;all ONLY began the calls for Basement Biden to step down when the complete and utter LIE that Basement Biden was &quot;sharp as a tack&quot; was no longer sustainable because even the most gullible and &quot;ate up&quot; woke progressive Democrat could see with their own eyes that Basement Biden was senile and dementia-riddled..

Calling for Basement Biden to step down was not an act of bravery, but rather a cold and calculated, yet futile,  political maneuver to appear to be accepting of the FACTS and the  objective reality of the here and now..

The American voters are seeing through this. Dismissing the issue as “common” only deepens the distrust, pushing Democrats further into irrelevance and inanity. 

Woke progress Democrats simply  can’t escape the Black Forest of their own making by sidestepping accountability. 

The American people demand honesty, not deflection, and the woke progressive Democrats’ failure to address the issues of their continued lies and the complete and utter betrayal of the American voter ensures that woke progressive Democrats will remain political exile, forever roaming political purgatory.

Plus, you can hardly devote an entire commentary to the BS claim that &quot;Trump lied&quot; without addressing the UBER lie that woke progressive Democrats spewed and supported for 4 long years...  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;I can try!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Chief Miles O&#039;Brein, STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE-Trials &amp; Tribblations 


:D

The idea that woke progressive Democrats need to confront their lies and their sins if they want to extricate themselves from the political Black Forest is a sound idea...  A GOOD... no... GREAT idea....

Ya&#039;all Democrats ignore that idea at your peril....  And at the peril of continued irrelevance in 2026 and 2028...</description>

		<description>@JMCT,

&lt;I&gt;American history has certainly shown almost no instances of successful socialist parties using a Marxian perspective; the closest, perhaps, was the New Deal and that era is now long gone.&lt;/I&gt;

Well, I am certainly glad you used the qualifier &quot;ALMOST NO INSTANCES&quot;...  :D

Because that is EXACTLY what your woke progressive Democrats have done in the here and now..

Use the Marxian perspective to, how did you put it???

Put forth &quot;the idea that all people of a given economic class have similar interests vis a vis the other classes, but do not know this because questions of &quot;race, ethnicity, gender, etc.&quot; (as you put it) are used by the ruling class to divide and subdue the rest. &quot;

As evidenced by the fact that your Democrat Party is so enthralled with Bernie Sanders and Occasional Cortex...

Did I mention that I would really, REALLY, &lt;B&gt;REALLY&lt;/B&gt; love it if ya&#039;all would please select Occasional Cortex as ya&#039;all&#039;s 2026 guidon and ya&#039;all&#039;s 2028 champion...

Please!?   :D</description>

		<description>JL,

&lt;i&gt;The fact that you continue to spew that complete and proven lie simply indicates how far your Trump/America hate has dragged you into the sewer.&lt;/I&gt;

And...  Considering that the topic of this commentary is &quot;TRUMP LIED&quot;, it&#039;s rather ironic that you would continue to spew this &lt;B&gt;&quot;TRUMP IS A RACIST&quot;&lt;/B&gt; lie, eh? :D

&lt;I&gt;Donald connects broadly across the working classes when he tells them they&#039;ve been cheated, shafted, exploited, and so forth, because it&#039;s basically true. he gives them easy targets to scapegoat in classes both above and below, which have at least a veneer of plausibility. so, by the time he gets to the part that&#039;s laughably false (how he&#039;s going to fix it and make it everything better), most people&#039;s limbic systems are fully in charge, and their critical thinking skills have long since been left by the wayside.&lt;/I&gt;

Which is &lt;B&gt;*EXACTLY*&lt;/B&gt; what Odumbo used to do, no??  :D

Having said that, there IS another possibility that you fail (or, more accurately, don&#039;t want to) consider..

That &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump, like Saint Ronald Reagan before him, taps into the patriotic zest for life that is present in the vast majority of Americans..  Who feel that the Democrat Party is ignoring them in their quest for the Identity/Grievance/Hate/Bigotry voter..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;We can&#039;t discard the possibility just because we don&#039;t happen to like it..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Martin Sheen, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

Well...  RATIONAL people can&#039;t...  Those NOT afflicted with PTDS or Trump/American hate can&#039;t.. :D

Just sayin&#039;... :D</description>

it&#039;s no secret that globalization has combined with technology to create massive downward pressure on the value of most unskilled and semi-skilled labor in developed countries. in the USA that has meant people of all types of race, ethnicity, religion, gender and so forth have seen their economic prospects nosedive.

Donald connects broadly across the working classes when he tells them they&#039;ve been cheated, shafted, exploited, and so forth, because it&#039;s basically true. he gives them easy targets to scapegoat in classes both above and below, which have at least a veneer of plausibility. so, by the time he gets to the part that&#039;s laughably false (how he&#039;s going to fix it and make it everything better), most people&#039;s limbic systems are fully in charge, and their critical thinking skills have long since been left by the wayside.

		<description>JL,  

It&#039;s been well established that you all have never been able to provide any facts that prove or support that &lt;b&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is a racist.

The fact that you continue to spew that complete and proven lie simply indicates how far your Trump/America hate has dragged you into the sewer.</description>

Could you be clearer about how Trump addresses &quot;issues of economic class&quot; in ways that gets him votes from people who would otherwise loathe him for his bigotry and hatefulness? At least, that&#039;s how I&#039;m understanding what you wrote, at this point.

It&#039;s almost a punditry mantra these days that Trump uses his charismatic bigotry and hatefulness to get votes from embittered and disempowered working class people. In this reading, it&#039;s their economic or &#039;class&#039; interests that he has no concern for at all, with his upper-class oriented tax and benefit agenda.

&quot;Issues of economic class&quot;, traditionally interpreted, go back to Marxist or anti-Marxist thinking, I believe. It&#039;s the idea that all people of a given economic class have similar interests vis a vis the other classes, but do not know this because questions of &quot;race, ethnicity, gender, etc.&quot; (as you put it) are used by the ruling class to divide and subdue the rest. American history has certainly shown almost no instances of successful socialist parties using a Marxian perspective; the closest, perhaps, was the New Deal and that era is now long gone.

Interesting ideas, thanks for them.</description>

		<description>@caddy,

Reagan certainly provided the template for the Democratic establishment to betray New Deal society. however, the United States have never really had a full reckoning with issues of economic class, because until now (and even now) they&#039;ve always been entangled with race, ethnicity, gender and other forms of discrimination. 

one of Donald&#039;s superpowers is that he can speak past his other -isms and get straight at issues of economic class. it hits people on such a gut level that they frequently know he&#039;s a lying racist sexist etc. etc. and don&#039;t care. i believe that&#039;s the real reason why &quot;Donald lies&quot; although perfectly accurate, doesn&#039;t work.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Today, Trump threatened to hike tariffs on the European Union to 50 percent on June 1st, and to also hike tariffs on Apple to 25 percent if it doesn&#039;t immediately start building iPhones in America. Trump also threatened Walmart to &quot;EAT THE TARIFFS&quot; and not raise prices, and threatened a 100 percent tariff on Barbie dolls (since Mattel also said it would have to raise prices).&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s rather ironic, eh??

&lt;B&gt;&quot;And isn&#039;t it ironic?
Don&#039;t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah, I really do think.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Alanis Morissette

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s bold tariff threats...

...50% on the EU, 25% on Apple, 100% on Mattel, and a stern warning to Walmart... 

... show he’s going to the mat against corporate greed to protect American wallets. 

Unlike woke progressive Democrats who, at one time CHAMPIONED the little guy against big corporations, &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is actually taking on these giants to stop price hikes and bring manufacturing home. 

Ironically, it&#039;s the woke progressive Democrats who are now cozing  up to corporate elites.

It&#039;s NOW the woke progressive Democrats who are siding with price-gouging firms over working-class Americans. 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;And isn&#039;t it ironic?
Don&#039;t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah, I really do think.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

The hypocrisy of woke progressive Democrats is STAGGERING!! 

Woke progressive Democrats have  abandoned their anti-corporate roots to shield Big Business while &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump fights for the American people. 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;And isn&#039;t it ironic?
Don&#039;t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah, I really do think.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Once upon a time, Democrats decried and castigated corporate overreach... 

NOW.... Now woke progressive Democrats are DEFENDING corporate overreach and greed.. NOW woke progressive Democrats are the Corporate champions.. NOW woke progressive Democrats are DEFENDING the greed and overreach of the large corporations..

The FACTS and the OBJECTIVE REALITY clearly PROVE that it&#039;s &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt;Trump who is the TRUE defender of the American people against profiteering and against large corporations. 

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump&#039;s tariffs aim to force companies like Apple and Mattel to prioritize American jobs and consumers, not offshore profits. 

Walmart’s warned to absorb costs, not burden shoppers. This isn’t reckless posturing—it’s a calculated stand for economic patriotism. 

A long time ago, it would have been DEMOCRATS who would be issuing these warnings..  

But the woke progressive Democrats are now the stooges of these behemoth corporations.  Democrats and Big Corp are conspiring against the American people.. 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;And isn&#039;t it ironic?
Don&#039;t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah, I really do think.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

The woke progressive Democrats’ silence on corporate accountability exposes their flip-flop, emphasizes their total devotion to Trump/America hate and proving, once and for all, that  they’ve traded principle for power. 

Trump’s fighting the fight that woke progressive Democrats forgot...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;And isn&#039;t it ironic?
Don&#039;t you think?
A little too ironic...
and yeah, I really do think.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Trump held his pay-to-play dinner for the biggest investors in his crypto scam, which apparently included a Chinese billionaire. Again, no real surprise there... grifters gotta grift, after all.&lt;/I&gt;

Once again, I have to marvel at yer gumption here.. :D

Outlandish claims of &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s “pay-to-play” crypto dinner utterly PALE against the Biden family’s well-documented grifting. 

Joe and Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes, from Hunter’s Burisma board seat to lucrative Chinese business deals, netted millions while Joe was VP. 

The hypocrisy is glaring and blinding...

Woke progressive Democrats clutch pearls over Trump’s alleged scams while ignoring the Biden clan’s proven corruption. 

There are simply ZERO FACTS to support the claim that &lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump’s dinner was a “scam”....

But the Bidens’ pay-to-play is undeniable and well documented. 


Pot, meet kettle. 

Focus on the real grifters on ya&#039;all&#039;s side of the fence before casting stones at a LEGITIMATE and transparent business event...

		<description>Unfortunately, I am kind of pressed for time here.  I mean, I really love working for Florida Law Enforcement, but sometimes it&#039;s really annoying when it takes me away from Weigantia..  :D

So, I am going to just do some quick facts to refute all the Trump/America hate and then really get down into the weeds on Monday... :D

Hope that works for ya&#039;all.. :D

&lt;I&gt;Despite their claims of having become a working-class party, Republicans are seeking to take away health insurance from millions of Americans, and they are doing it to give billions of dollars in tax cuts to the wealthy.&lt;/I&gt;

The GOP ain&#039;t stripping health insurance to fund tax cuts for the rich.

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump is simply fixing a flawed and broken system. There are simply NO FACTS to support the claim that the GOP&#039;s aim is to strip health insurance from ANY Americans..


Now, DEMOCRATS, on the other hand, have PROVEN that they will kick tens of MILLIONS of Americans off their health insurance... 

Remember OdumboCare???  Remember how Democrats and Odumbo PROMISED that  &lt;B&gt;&quot;If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor&quot;&lt;/B&gt;???

And yet, THAT turned out to be a blatant lie because under OdumboCare, MILLIONS and MILLIONS of Americans had their health insurance plans CANCELLED. 

Woke progressive Democrats so-called &quot;reforms&quot; (:eyeroll:) disrupted Americans&#039; lives while health care costs soared. 

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and the GOP are simply trying to fix what the woke progressive Democrats broke..

&lt;B&gt;PRESIDENT&lt;/B&gt; Trump and the GOP seek market-driven solutions to lower costs and expand choice, not handouts to elites, despite Democrat fearmongering. 

If we could put our focus on FACTS and the objective reality of the here and now and NOT on divisive fearmongering rhetoric, things would be a lot nicer.. :D

I mean, yer complaining about what **MIGHT** happen..

We already know what **DID** happen when woke progressive Democrats tried to &quot;fix&quot; healthcare....

Skyrocketing costs and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of Americans kicked off their healthcare plans they liked..

Do ya&#039;all **REALLY** want to be casting aspersions on health care???

REALLY??  :D</description>

		<description>It’s a good FTP edition except for the “Trump lied”.










Not to break your balls, Chris. There’s a ton of work that’s more than evident by what you post, so please don’t mind if Weigantia jumps down your throat over “Trump lied” or whatever.</description>

		<description>I’ve long suspected that rich democrats aka “Establishment Democrats” won’t ever support rolling back any of the rich-guy-tax breaks.








The Democrats would RULE except they don’t promise to undo any of these tax cuts because they, too, like those tax cuts.</description>

		<description>Of course, one would have to assume that the DEMOCRATIC DONOR CLASS who looove Reaganomic’s tax cuts doesn’t ONCE AGAIN do anything and everything to repeal ANY of the tax cuts.







Democrats are FAR from being the party of FDR/party of the New Deal.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not very effective punditry to lead your weekly &#039;Talking Points&#039; column with the headline, &quot;Trump Lied&quot;.

Yawn. 

&quot;Trump Breathed&quot;

&quot;Trump is Trump&quot;

&quot;Trump&quot;


Kind of monotonous, ain&#039;t it? Of course he lied. He can&#039;t do anything else. It&#039;s not news - it&#039;s not a &#039;talking point&#039; - it&#039;s the nature of the Trumpverse itself, inherent in everything the man and his administration and Republican Party stand for. Lies.

So good on some of the rest of the commentary, but change the stupid headline.

Per the Emanuel catchy slogan, I&#039;d suggest making it even catchier:

&quot;Tax cuts for the wealthy, healthcare cuts for the many.&quot;

Should be

&quot;Tax cuts for the wealthy, healthcare cuts for the rest of us.&quot;</description>
