Democrats: So "Tolerant" They End Relationships Over Politics

[jacksonlamb]

LMAO

Tax and spend leftist. Stealing other peoples money then Laundering the **** out of it

You are trying to Detroit the entire country

 

[SweetTea]

We are a failing nation because of MAGA.

We aren’t a failing nation, however, if we do fail, it will be because of left-wing Socialistic policies. China, et al are funding Democratic candidates for a reason and it isn’t to help the US.

 

[eagle1462010]

We are a small town, and MAGA here keeps its loony head down here.

SoupNazi could not run a business here, could not get work here.

Smart loonys that.

You dont block roads here and Burn Loot and Murder

Because you will be hauled off in buses and thrown in jail

The MAGAs do not follow the teaching of Jesus Christ.

They have their own Jesus

They have their own Jesus

When you see a member of the family or a close friend who is a sincere Christian -- whether you are or not -- and then you see them sell out their religion for a guy who's essentially the opposite of the Jesus Christ they claim to follow... it's just human nature, you're going to be deeply disappointed in them, and you're going to question their real morality, not to mention their intelligence and their critical thinking skills.

That's the core of this. And it's rough when it's someone close to you.

I don't know if MAGA doesn't get that, or if it doesn't care. It looks to me like they don't care. But this is a choice they're making.

 

[sealybobo]

What does this have to do with the OP?

He is MAGA and so tolerant he's ending a lot of relationships he has with people who aren't MAGA.

 

[sealybobo]

Seems that sealybobo has nothing of substance to post. When asked for specifics, he pivots away to a deflection. Right. Away. And when asked about his needed "billionaire tax", he is silent. This is the kind of poster that is only here to waste bandwidth.

I learned that from Charlie Kirk. Anytime he was stumped he would change the subject and famously ask "what's a woman?" "Can you tell me what a woman is?" Look where that got him.

I love a billionaire tax. Here is how I would do it. Feel free to amass as much money as you can in the 100 years you will be alive. When you die, the government gets half of it. Your kids can have the other 500 million dollars. Fair enough?

There are 1,135 billionaires in the U.S. with a collective worth of $6 trillion.

As of May 2026, the total U.S. gross national debt is approximately $39 trillion

So we can knock out $3 trillion in the next 100 years.

What's the alternative?

I'm watching Hell on Wheels. The early days of America. What percent of Americans back then were god fearing and going to church? I'd guess and say about 30% of them. The rest of them were all murderers, thieves, indian killers, child abusers, wife abusers, mean, racist, slave owners.

The Federal Government was so unfair to the Indians you can't help but root for the Indians. You don't feel sorry for the soldiers who get an arrow to the stomach. Sort of reminds me of America today. It's hard to ignore that we started all this. China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Canada. Seems like America is being run by total assholes not Christians. Christians only support the assholes.

 

[sealybobo]

Biden let an invasion happen, illegal crime is soaring because of it. Democrats uphold the invasion. Woke is insanity, DEI is racist, MAGA doesn't hate gays. Muslims bear watching because they often become Islamist jihadis. Democrats are the pearl clutchers.

No it's not. Crime was down. You guys successfully used immigrants to win 2024 but you are so full of shit.

And do we still have Latin gangs in America? Why? That's who we all want to see Trump throw out. Latin gangs!!! Not shooting a nurse who was legally carrying a gun and not guys looking for work outside Home Depot.

Trump is great at promotion. If he's kicking gang members out why isn't he telling us about it? Because it's not happening.

If it was happening why is crime soaring?

Data regarding crime trends during the Biden-Harris administration indicates a significant, broad decline in violent crime and homicides, particularly in 2023 and 2024

• Scale of Violence: Reports indicate that over 50,000 Christians have been massacred since 2009, with thousands of churches and schools destroyed. In the first few months of 2026, continued attacks have resulted in dozens more deaths, including women and children.
• Perpetrators: The violence is driven by several groups, including Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and radicalized Fulani herdsmen. These groups often target Christian farming communities to seize land and enforce strict religious ideologies.

AI Overview


Elon Musk paid an estimated $10–$11 billion in federal taxes for 2021, likely the largest single-year tax payment by an individual.

Yea but we need half the $1 TRILLION he will leave behind when he dies.

We need it. Look at the debt. What do you propose we do? Ahhh, you propose we cut social security and medicare.

And meanwhile, who are we going to go to war with next at the cost of $1 billion a day? How much has Iran cost us so far $60 billion? And how much have all Trump's scams cost us $1 trillion? They seem to be spending money like we have it.

Foreign ownership of U.S. debt has been shrinking, with the share falling as supply grows faster than foreign demand. While foreign nations, particularly Japan, the UK, and China, still hold about 31% of the $30.1 trillion public debt as of Dec 2025, foreign governments' desire to buy U.S. Treasuries is not keeping up with the rapid increase in U.S. spending.

Some nations are diversifying away from the dollar, while others, like China, have been slowly reducing their stocks for several years, partly due to tense relations.

Impact of Reduced Foreign Buying
If foreign entities stop buying or dump their holdings, the likely consequences include:

• Higher Interest Rates: A decrease in demand for Treasuries would cause bond prices to drop and yields (interest rates) to rise, making borrowing more expensive for the U.S. government, businesses, and consumers.
• Weaker Dollar: A reduction in demand could decrease the value of the U.S. dollar, which would make imports more expensive and potentially lead to higher inflation.
• Recessionary Pressure: Higher borrowing costs could lead to reduced investment and spending.

There is no way to repay it anymore

Everything is better under Trump. Its democrats cities and states that are failing as they become more socialist.

 

[sealybobo]

This is democrats

Couple thoughts.

Didn't you guys brag that Iranians were dancing in the streets after Trump took out their Supreme Leader? Were those people dancing in the streets wrong? Should the Iranian government execute anyone who was cheering?

Didn't Trump and Bibi think the Iranian people were going to rise up against their government? Why would we encourage that when clearly you think that is a bad thing to do here?

And if violence isn't the answer, why did we go to war with Iran?

Donald Trump frequently criticized former President Barack Obama as a "weak and ineffective" negotiator, particularly between 2011 and 2016, often asserting that Obama lacked the skill to negotiate with foreign powers, such as Iran.

• Predictions of War with Iran: In 2011 and 2012, Trump repeatedly claimed on Twitter and in video messages that Obama would start a war with Iran to boost his re-election chances, alleging this was due to his inability to negotiate properly.
• "Worst Negotiator" Label: Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump described Obama as the "worst negotiator" and criticized his foreign policy deals, including the Iran nuclear deal, which he called a "disaster".
• Criticism of Foreign Policy: Trump claimed that Obama's open approach to foreign policy, such as announcing troop movements, made the U.S. look weak and predictable.
• These resurfaced comments became notable in later years, particularly in 2020 and 2026, when critics compared them to Trump's own actions regarding military actions and Iran.

Wrong. Elon found nothing. Have you seen the debt?

We are so fuched

Foreign investors are not completely stopping, but they are reducing their share of U.S. debt, making the U.S. rely more on domestic borrowing. Foreign holdings dropped from nearly half of all publicly held debt to about 30%, increasing U.S. borrowing costs and contributing to higher prices for Americans.

• Reasons for the Pullback: There is a massive increase in the total amount of outstanding U.S. government debt. Additionally, some countries are shifting away for risk management purposes, particularly following geopolitical tensions.
• Impact of Reduced Buying: If foreign countries stop buying U.S. debt, it could lead to higher interest rates for Americans and potentially create a recessionary impact.
• Data from late 2025 indicates a general downward trend in U.S. debt holdings by Brazil, Russia, India too

Foreign ownership of U.S. debt has fallen to approximately 31% as nations like China and India reduce exposure, though total foreign holdings remain high at roughly $9.2 trillion. Reduced foreign demand, driven by geopolitical concerns and fiscal sustainability fears, forces higher domestic absorption of debt, risking higher interest rates for American consumers.

“It used to be almost half of all publicly held debt,”

The U.S. borrowed to deal with the Great Financial Crisis, then we borrowed to deal with COVID-19. Now we’ll borrow to pay for war. Significant tax cuts across multiple administrations — 2013, 2017, 2020, and 2025 — further engorged the debt.

Foreign governments’ desire to loan money to the U.S. by buying U.S. Treasurys has not kept up for many reasons.

“The U.S. fiscal sustainability has been called into question with debt rising as much as it has,” Rodriguez said. Standard & Poor’s downgraded U.S. debt in 2011, Fitch did so in 2023, and Moody’s and European credit rating agency Scope followed suit in 2025.

Some countries have observed that holding U.S. assets exposes them to financial pressure from the U.S.

“Central banks and non-U.S. investors have looked at the U.S. use of the dollar in terms of imposing sanctions, for example, on different investors. So the ‘weaponization’ of the dollar led central banks to want to insulate themselves from that geopolitical risk,” Rodriguez said.

So foreign governments have been diversifying, asking, “is there anything else we can buy so we don’t have all our risk in the U.S.?” said Daniel Gerard, senior multi-asset strategist at State Street Global Markets. “China has expanded into British debt, into European debt, and into gold a lot more.”

Foreign investors have also been putting money in stocks instead of Treasurys especially when interest rates were low.

And investors both in and out of the U.S. in general have been more reluctant to invest in longer-term debt because of the uncertainty about the long-term economic future, Gerard said.

This raises a question: If foreign investors and foreign central banks have not been bankrolling the U.S. federal budget as much as they used to, and yet the U.S. has continued to spend, where has all the money come from?

“We've been writing IOUs faster than the rest of the world wants to collect them, and that means that more of those Treasury securities are being purchased domestically,”

America has been borrowing more from America. From banks, from U.S. investors, even recently increasing borrowing from the Federal Reserve.

To get American investors to buy all those Treasurys, the federal government has had to pay up. More than it otherwise would. And when the government has to pay higher interest, so does everyone else.

“Americans in households and businesses across the country are paying more for everything from mortgages to auto loans to credit card debt, because all of those are based on U.S. Treasury rates,” said Akabas.

Basically, somebody’s got to pick up the tab here, and if it isn’t the rest of the world… it’s us.
