The apparently eternally ****ed up housing market would give it away if you took a bit to dig a bit deeper. From the years you listed house prices in the same area I'm in now have nearly tripled, so that would be a hint that something is wrong.

From just cruising around town I would never know how much houses cost. By just existing for a little while in a place there is no way to really know who the current President is, or if the place you are in voted Democrat or Republican (well, except that MAGAtards really really really want to talk about it all the ****ing time). Life does not change much in a general sense for a lower middle class straight white man with specific in-demand skills like me based on which party is in power. I'm still gonna be the same generic person and life is still going to be the same generic reality. Changes happen in the margins. Maybe I'm 2.3% better off or 1.7% worse off. It's hard to tell the difference.
 
From a commenter:

"Bondi is about as crooked as they come. Picture this: September 2013. Bondi’s office is reviewing fraud complaints against Trump University. Twenty separate consumer complaints are sitting on her desk. She picks up the phone and personally calls Trump asking for $25,000. Four days later, the check arrives. Suddenly, those fraud complaints vanish like they never existed.Plot twist - the donation was completely illegal. Charitable foundations can’t make political contributions. The IRS eventually fined Trump and forced him to reimburse the foundation, and by 2019 the entire Trump Foundation was shut down with Trump paying $2 million in damages. Trump University settled for $25 million proving every other state attorney general was right to pursue the case Bondi refused to. Recently she went on Fox News claiming she had Epstein’s “client list” sitting on her desk. She promised bombshells, teased massive revelations, got conspiracy theorists drooling over coming exposés.Then last week, the Justice Department released a memo saying there is no Epstein client list. The document she claimed was on her desk now doesn’t exist.But this isn’t incompetence - it’s brand consistency. Bondi has spent her entire career promising accountability while delivering access only to the highest bidder. Donny pays and she plays. She has a decades-long pattern of treating prosecutorial power like a personal piggy bank, complete with foreign government sponsorship and a $400 million conflict of interest flying overhead., because last week, Bondi personally signed a Justice Department memo approving Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari royal family. The same government she used to lobby for just handed her boss a flying palace worth 4,000 times more than the gold bars that sent Senator Bob Menendez to prison for 11 years.She’s not only covering up Epstein’s crimes, but she’s also continuing to perpetrate her own. How she was allowed to be AG is beyond me."

Hahahahahaha

I remembered earlier in this thread you and he going at it so I decided to reveal the post. This has aged well too. About as well as potato salad under that hot Texas sun.

You think what is happening is a “rewrite the foundation of our country”. That is a hyperbole statement. Please show me this, with information and proof. Not just because you don’t like what he is doing.

See you only see it one sided again. Show me where I criticize Biden. Show me where I criticize Trump. I almost never do it to either. You just want me to say the same things you believe and I dont believe that. You want everyone here to criticize Trump every single day and every single way.


Look at what is being posted all the time. It’s Trumps Crash… Yes, it is Donald Trump who flew the plane into the ground and flipped it upside down. Why would I comment on something so stupid. Show me where I comment on Biden sniffing all the kids? I don't say anything because it’s a stupid post. Why don’t you call out your leftist posters about posting stupid **** all the time.


I don’t think you know what a troll is. You call everyone a troll who doesn't agree with you. I don’t post meme’s making fun of all the left politicians. I don’t post stupid **** just to piss off the other side.

I post stats, data and information show why things are not what people are saying.

Let’s take for example you sitting back and letting Thriller keep posting a know hoax of flashlights up asses. You don’t call him out. You don’t call him a troll. His posts are troll posts, you keep your mouth shut.


Yes I can refute the aspects of fascism in Trump’s behavior.


5 positive things from Trumps first month

1. Border crossings shut down
2. AI Infrastructure getting $500 billion in private investment
3. Negotiated release of 11 American Hostages
4. Protected Women in sports
5. Doge

Hell lets expand it to 10

6. Expanded access to vitro fertilization
7. Sovereign Wealth Fund
8. Restored a 25% tariff to steel and aluminum imports - Great for American manufacturers
9. Remain in Mexico policy
10. Reinstated with back pay for service members who were discharged for COVID vaccine mandates

That wasn’t very hard…


You want me to refute a “Claim”… be serious.

He said - He said… refute this because this one guy said Trump is like Hitler. Refute it.

This is a garbage request.


You give this ultimatum to me, yet you keep your mouth shut when your tribe does it daily. DAILY.


You mean Thriller, the one who never responds… Yes I’m the troll. I have been engage in actual open and honest dialogue for years. You just don’t approve of my opinions or thoughts.

I wonder why ol Bucky has stopped posting? I know he still visits here daily. He’s reading the political threads. Wonder why he doesn’t come back and apologize? Or admit that he was wrong and others here were right? Either:

1. He likes what Trump is doing; especially packing gay hair dressers and 80 year old grandmothers into airplanes on one way airplanes to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
2. Admitting Trump was a mistake would be too big of a blow to his identity and ego.

My guess is on the former. Bucky is a piece of **** who consumes way too much junk media and has developed an appetite for fascism. But he could always come back and clarify things.

Btw, I wonder how our very very non-maga principled conservative constitutionalists would’ve reacted had President Obama said this about Laura Ingraham or Toni Lahren?

If only we had a freedom of speech in this country? Maybe the founding fathers should’ve written that down? Maybe they should’ve made an oath for the president to abide by those written down instructions?

So, the first 6 months of the Trump administration is the “greatest ever”? The “Revolution of Common Sense”? It’s clearly not that. It resembles something we might call “The Revolution of the Stupid”. Hopefully, we won’t be the first advanced civilization to collapse from the growth of conspiracism-inspired mass stupidity. Imagine that as the cause for societal collapse, devolving into lawlessness, Trump’s “common sense” grinding government to a halt? I wonder if collapsing from extreme stupidity has ever happened before?

This is “The Revolution of the Stupid”. It’s also, hands down, no contest, the MOST CORRUPT administration in American history. The corruption swamps any common sense, if you can find any. I can’t:

America Has Never Seen Corruption Like This

Trump’s Qatari jet was just the beginning.
www.theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com

The White House has seen its share of shady deals. Ulysses S. Grant’s brother-in-law used his family ties to engineer an insider-trading scheme that tanked the gold market. Warren Harding’s secretary of the interior secretly leased land to oil barons, who paid a fortune for his troubles. To bankroll Richard Nixon’s reelection, corporate executives sneaked suitcases full of cash into the capital.

But Americans have never witnessed anything like the corruption that President Donald Trump and his inner circle have perpetrated in recent months. Its brazenness, volume, and variety defy historical comparison, even in a country with a centuries-long history of grift—including, notably, Trump’s first four years in office. Indeed, his second term makes the financial scandals of his first—foreign regimes staying at Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C.; the (aborted) plan to host the G7 at Trump’s hotel in Florida—seem quaint.

Trump 2.0 is just getting started, yet it already represents the high-water mark of American kleptocracy. There are good reasons to think it will get much worse.

Virtually every week, the Trump family seems to find a new way to profit from the presidency. The Trump Organization has brokered a growing catalog of real-estate projects with autocratic regimes, including a Trump tower in Saudi Arabia, a Trump hotel in Oman, and a Trump golf club in Vietnam. “We’re the hottest brand in the world right now,” Eric Trump recently proclaimed. In May, Qatar gave the White House a $400 million jet—a gift that looked a lot like a bribe but that Trump had no qualms accepting.

And that’s just the foreign front. Domestically, Trump has used flimsy complaints to go after media organizations, resulting in settlements that resemble shakedowns. Last year, he accused 60 Minutes of deceptively editing an interview with his Democratic presidential opponent, Kamala Harris. Legal experts saw the claim as weak. Rather than fighting it in court, however, Paramount agreed to pay $16 million, which will subsidize Trump’s future presidential library and cover his legal fees. Following a similarly dubious lawsuit, ABC sent $15 million to Trump’s library fund and issued a “statement of regret.”

Beyond the court, the president has peddled Trump perfumes, Trump sneakers, and Trump phones, shamelessly using the prestige of the presidency to boost his family’s income. And then there’s crypto: the $TRUMP meme coin, the pay-to-play dinners with investors, the paused prosecution of a crypto kingpin who had purchased $30 million in Trump-backed tokens.

“The law is totally on my side,” Trump said after his election in 2016, when he was asked about mixing his financial affairs with his new office. “The president can’t have a conflict of interest.” That statement is now alarmingly close to the truth. Thanks to last year’s Supreme Court ruling, Trump has presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for any “official act.” He has appointed an attorney general, Pam Bondi, who appears willing to do his bidding no matter the cost to the Department of Justice. He has gutted independent bodies that went after white-collar criminal networks, task forcesthat investigated kleptocracy, public prosecutors that chased public corruption, and regulations that targeted transnational money laundering.

I don’t think his base will merely be satisfied with a concentration camp in Florida. At some point, they’re going to demand more. These folks are fascist addicts. And sooner or later they’re going to demand political opponents be imprisoned. And soon imprisonment won’t be enough for them. They’re feeding themselves nasty fascist sewage every day. And like any drug addict, they’re going to want harder and harder stuff…

Yup. Been saying it since 2016, Trump is Hitler. Now he has assumed total power, just like Hitler did. This is just the beginning. He has his Gestapo and SS all rolled into one in ICE. Now the jews, ahem, Mexicans and non-whites can be scapegoated and rounded up at his will, while any other dissenters can be dealt with just as violently. No one is safe. The legislative and judicial branches have relinquished any checks they had and he is in the process of purging anyone within government who is against him. Just like Hitler's base, MAGA will excuse anything. They don't like you? Your door might have a knock and you could be taken away or have your citizenship revoked(just ask Rosie Odonnell). Had Hitler maintained power his supporters would have excused the holocaust. I truly believe MAGA would do the same. Mexicans dying in Alligator Alcatraz? Oh well, they shouldn't have invaded the USA.

People forget that the first victims of the holocaust were communists, socialists, trade unionists and the disabled.
 
Honestly its like we've entered a parallel universe, the Australian PM cant get a meeting with the US President, two counties with a shared history who are major strategic partners and historic allies in an emerging region of great power struggles. Meanwhile Albanese is with a cohort of Australian corporations meeting with Xi to increase Australian trade and investment in China, a country who we believe we may be in a shooting war with within the next two decades.
