You don't pay enough goddamn taxes, at least if you are upper middle class and above. The rich certainly do not. We've been cutting taxes since Reagan and do we have Utopia yet? No, and the reason is that the rich and upper middle class have made off with the majority of those tax breaks figuring they do not owe the rest of society anything. And the upper middle class and rich are predominately white.
This has metastasized into Conservatives blaming all their problems on those naughty brown people "stealing" their wealth because the naughty brown people do not populate the white social circles in which they run. They then turn around and feed that rot to poor white people giving them a convenient scapegoat as to why they are not rich. They ignore the fact that those naughty brown people keep the economy running. See the leaked Telegram chats on just how racist the young Republicans are. They got that way because it first became acceptable and then their social circles rewarded them for saying such things. Each wanted to make themselves accepted by always going a bit further in their racist language, and getting warm fuzzies from their ilk for being racist.
And now there is an article in the NYT about how the alleged administration is wants to tilt the refugee system into favoring white people. The culture war is just a euphemism for a race war. Talk to a white Evangelical about the southern border and suggest we put Christ down there and he can decide who gets let in. I did. The Evangelical's response: even I wouldn't go for that.
He is the most transparently corrupt president the U.S. has ever had. Everything he touches is suspect from his alleged companies, his trade "deals", etc. As always with him, follow the bread crumb trail back to his pockets. Pleasing the Qataris and their billions would make any deal in the mideast look inviting to him. Too bad for him the Qataris are a bunch of two-timing sharks who have bought a U.S. president and will be expecting a payout.
Presumably the news organizations are smart enough not to trust anything the alleged administrations says. Sure, just sign here that you understand, and expect a suebomb next month when you publish something we don't like. No one with any brain trusts that alleged administration even if it says the sun will probably come up tomorrow.
It gets worse, the Argentina deal recently concluded was a $20 Billion currency swap; they hold U.S. dollars and the U.S. get sto hold Argentina pesos, the latter will not hold their value for long. Why would he do that other than Milei butters his ass? As usual with el Bunko, follow the money. It turns out that Scott Bessent, our alleged Treasury (Treasure?) Secretary, is in bed with three cryptocurrency honchos. They helped Milei launch his country's cryptocurrency, and el Bunko (or his kids) bought in as well. The Crypto-Crappo tanked. If the country goes titsup, el Bunko, his kids, and Bessent are out that cash. Whether Argentina does or does not, the U.S. will be out $20 Billion.
After that deal was announced, Milei cut Argentina's export tax on soy beans. China thanked them from the bottom of the CCP's cold, dead heart. The China deal did nothing to stop el Bunko from going through with the currency deal because it was his and Bessent's money at stake. Meanwhile, China has bought nary a soy bean from American farmers this year. It seems they were offended by el Bunko's tariffs, if you can imagine that.
The same soy bean thing happened during el Bunko the First, he raised tariffs on China and China responded by curtailing soy bean purchases from the U.S. The American soy bean farmers never got that market back again. Did they learn their lesson? Nope, most voted for el Bunko because they got their panties in a twist over which bathrooms transsexuals used. Now they are bleating for a bailout. If el Bunko finds a way to bail them out, then the American people will pay for those tariffs by:
1. Bailing out the U.S. farmers with U.S. taxpayer funds
2. Bailing out Argentina and el Bunko's (and Bessent's) losses with Argentina with U.S. taxpayers funds.
3. The permanent loss of Chinese markets for American farm produce in general because they have learned they cannot trust the U.S.
4. The loss of American farms because the bailout won't be enough to compensate for lost markets and those markets will remain lost for quite awhile because the U.S. can no longer be trusted.
Under Biden. His DoJ got raked over the coals mercilessly for not going after la Presidenta soon enough. And when they did over the top secret files he kept and showed to others without security clearance (and after leaving office so he should never have had them), they caught that slimeball red-handed and it took a crooked judge, whom he appointed and who was bucking for a position in his administration were he to be elected, to extract his tail from that crack. In doing so, she ginned up some new legal bullshit about special prosecutors.
The two court cases with E. Jean Carroll he lost to about $5 Million on the first and about $87 Million on the second. They were upheld on appeal. He was up for defamation and continued his behavior even during the court proceedings. The juries took a look at that and determined he was scum.
TDS? I don't think we need to bring the ability to believe la Presidenta into this.
While we're at it, why were underage girls working the "spa" at la Presidenta's Pleasure Palace? Why was he upset that Epstein stole some of his "girls"? We know what some of the girls were doing for Epstein. What were they doing for la Presidenta? Why is he fighting tooth and nail to keep the Epstein docs under the grimy hands of his "justice" department?
"How can I call coal power free? It's just sitting there waiting to be dug up an burned." Errrrmmmm....how about the environmental cost of increase global warming, acid rain lowering the ph of the sea (makes it difficult for corals and any kind of shell fish), mine tailings polluting lakes and streams, simple air pollution (particulate matter), mercury air pollution, health effects on humans for all the above. Need I go on, Einstein?
Whatever, Dear Leader Putin was stupid enough to let the spooks plan and execute the invasion. The problem with spooks is they do not get logistics, and told that moron they'd be in Kiev in no time. And Putin was stupid enough to believe them because he's a spook himself. The Red Army generals would have told him that the spooks were being too optimistic but he didn't wan to hear from them.
Militaries frequently overestimate their capabilities. When the U.S. went after bin Laden, the military reckoned they could do the job with 2 helicopters. Obama, with no military experience, stepped in and told them they'd be using three. He figured if one went down they'd be in a world of hurt but with two backups, they had a better chance of recovery. And the U.S. did indeed lose one helicopter that they had to blow up on the ground themselves. The extra helicopter was the one that evacuated the remaining troops.
One of the little delicacies that Stalin imposed on his people was emptying the prisons, arming the prisoners, and putting them between the Red Army and Hitler's army.
He also populated the Red Army with dolts like Georgy Zhukov who never gave a damn about how many of his troops died so long as he could claim a victory. That also ran up the casualty figures. The current Red Army is just like their predecessor and Putin is just like Stalin. This is the same homicidal manic la Presidenta is cuddling up to.
I hardly think throwing AI-Crack at schools is investing. And the $100,000 fee is only el Bunko's plea for bigger kickbacks from industry. As always with him, follow the trail of breadcrumbs back to his pocket.
la Presidenta is all mouth. Forget anything he says; he does.
It is also no coincidence that el Bunko's Treasury has just concluded a currency swap with Argentina worth about $20 Billion. That means that we get to hold their peso and they get to hold our dollar. If you have been following Argentina's Milei, then you realize he has about as much business acumen as el Bunko and hence Argentina has no chance to get out of their slump, which took years in the making. Want to guess how much them pesos will. be worth after el Bunko leaves office?
To thank the U.S., Argentina relaxed their price controls on soy bean exports to make them cheaper. China said thank you and has been buying Argentina's and Brazil's soy beans. Meanwhile, el Bunko is promising to siphon off some of his tariff winnings on U.S. farmers, the same tariffs the American people have been funding.
el Bunko has LOTS of tariff money. He's bandied about the figure of $17 Trillion that he's collected. The U.S. Treasury has spent about $6.6 Trillion in 2025. So the U.S. has a profit of roughly $10 Trillion. So where is that money? How come the gov. is shut down over the budget? Some wiseguy Congress critters are trying to field an investigation over where the extra $10 Trillion is and how come it hasn't been reported anywhere else. And so el Bunko gets to blast his bullshit out to the corporate press for them to repeat it in the hopes he'll leave them alone. The Republican eunuchs are busy hiding from the citizens and so there's no hope of calling el Bunko out on his lie. That's one whopper of a lie.
" Trying to remove a board member accused of mortgage fraud ", and who accused her of mortgage fraud? Why, el Bunko and his "justice" department. It's another made up court suit like all of his other attempts. Jesus, learn to have some discernment before you spout bullshit.
And in the U.S., the DOGE maggots have already siphoned off your SS data to Peter Thiel and Palantir.
Feel disillusioned? I've got some great new illusions, right here!
