Apparently, some people have had enough.

The deficits are because of tax cuts. And the deficit will grow larger as more people who lose jobs need unemployment and public assistance. Concern yourself with your country and stop repeating American right-wing garbage.
It's hard to believe there is so much economic ignorance on full display.

Deficits are because spending is greater than revenue, full stop. Normal people in that situation look at their budget and either get another job, or more likely, cut unnecessary spending to bring it back in line.

Democrats have put themselves in the position of insisting that absolutely nothing be cut from the budget (that we must not even be allowed to see what the spending actually is and if there's any fraud) and that we continue using credit cards to maintain a fictional standard of living. The ultimate crash will be all the worse for that mindset, but they have to oppose any and everything Orange Man does, because reasons and TDS. After Orange Man leaves office, they hope to return to the normal way of doing business, which means no cuts anywhere on anything, only annual increases plus any new things they can think of to spend on.
 
Same. So stop being a gatekeeper to other people's lives because your political party won a presidential election.
Where have I done that? If you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. I gate-keep only my life. I expect you to do the same.

Leftists sure as hell don't like that idea, though.
 
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the news outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against the news agency’s editorial policy.

A free press is a pillar of democracy, just as state-controlled media is a hallmark of autocracy. That is why monitoring actions that stifle the freedom of the press is a time-tested means of tracking the health of a democratic system. As journalists themselves scramble to keep up with the firehose of executive orders that President Donald Trump has issued since returning to power on Jan. 20, infringements on press freedom in the United States are reported piecemeal, making it hard to grasp the full extent of the threat now in play.

Over and over and over you folks conflate the absolute right of privately owned social media platforms to restrict access to posters when they violate policies against lies and hateful speech with free speech rights. The 1st A only prevents government restrictions on free speech.
...which social media outlets acknowledged the Biden Admin did.

And you were utterly silent about it.

You're dismissed.
 
It would appear Rep. Al Green has had enough. Green’s civil disobedience was the behavior of a man who believes that trump is a threat to American democracy. And he's right. More Dems should have joined him instead of waving those stupid paddle signs.
Green needs to pay back the US taxpayers the $800K he used to settle his sexual assault case.
 
What do you remember??? You can't even remember that Donald Trump was the worst President in American history in his first administration. You forgot that completely when you re-elected him.

All Republicans talk about is "freedumb". They want the right to make stupid decisions and endanger their family and friends with no government interference. They claim that have to get vaccinated strips them of their "freedom", but think nothing of forcing 12 year olds to have babies after they've been raped, even if it kills them.

The usual racist MAGA bullshit reply.

Yeah, you people are sick and evil.

You just voted for your own financial destruction and Trump is delivering it for you....fucking idiots.
How can drugs be racist? Floyd had Fentanyl in his body. Tiny amounts kill humans. He committed suicide!!!! So how is truth evil or sick? Trump has rescued america from the feeble minded Biden. Harris was racist and was rejected.

You know why Floyd couldn't breathe?
Fentanyl suppresses your respiratory system.
 
I did not know that. Well said.

He said he couldn't breathe, when they were putting him into the squad car.
He may have hidden some foil wrapped drugs in his mouth and then swallowed
them when they grabbed him. I think I remember a photo of foil in the squad car after.

That is correct. I have said many times to his criminal pals posting here that he was not even in the cop car yet when he was whining he can't breathe. The cop never killed him at all. This is a truly miscarriage of justice just because Floyd was black.
 
GOP lawmakers confronted by constituents angry with Trump-Musk cuts
Several Republican lawmakers have faced backlash from constituents in recent days over President Trump's sweeping cuts to the federal government, which have been spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency, a task force led by Elon Musk.

With the House in recess, many members of Congress have held town halls and attended other events in their districts this week, giving their constituents a chance to confront lawmakers in person to express their discontent about budget cuts and the layoffs of federal workers by DOGE.

Rep. Rich McCormick, a Georgia Republican, clashed with constituents throughout a packed town hall in Roswell on Thursday. One attendee pressed McCormick on why the administration was taking "such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach" to the layoffs, noting that the administration has tried to rehire some employees working on bird flu and the nation's nuclear weapons programs after they were fired.


I made the point in another thread that some POT (party of trump) members of Congress are being put in a difficult position. OTOH, they do not want to be seen as not being in lockstep with MAGA doctrine. I mean absolute lockstep, since we know anything less than total acquiescence is considered to be heresy by the MAGA thought police.

But now there's been some pushback by constituents. Buyer's remorse you might say.



These folks do not appear to be pleased.

As you may recall, it was these kinds of town hall meetings that cause the failure of the ACA's repeal effort by Don. Angry, angry voters holding their reps to account. Not that he had a replacement plan anyway.

Apparently some on the left have just had enough of anyone who makes Trump look good, even if they are a 13 year old black kid with brain cancer. You make Trump look good, we attack you for it.

It appears the list of people who have had enough now includes our former allies since the US, with trump as prez, can no longer be trusted.

Some U.S. allies are considering scaling back the intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Trump administration’s conciliatory approach to Russia, five sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News.

The allies are weighing the move because of concerns about safeguarding foreign assets whose identities could inadvertently be revealed, said the sources, who included two foreign officials.

Every intelligence agency treats its commitments to foreign agents as sacrosanct, pledging to keep agents safe and shield their identities. Anything that jeopardized that obligation would violate that trust, former officials said, and that could lead some spy services to hold back on some information sharing with Washington.
