oh it's coming...I live next to a national forest that has a federal prison...I know multiple people that have lost their jobs

This is the problem. We will certainly survive. However, Americans were never "asked" to sacrifice. This is where Donald will run into problems. He presented the prize with no sacrifice, which is his way. Now, the sacrifice is being rammed down everyone's throats with zero, zilch, NO guarantees that it will work. I love the idea of moving manufacturing back and having America produce things for America and Americans. I try to live my life that way. Most of America does not. What America really didn't expect to have to deal with was their 401k's taking a bath. Wait till they can't get their plastic crap at Wally World. Tough times in the name of Donald. Big brother knows best, so kneel down and take your medicine. That's a hilarious perspective in America. Anyhoooo...I could give a F because I don't buy tons of ***** and I live out in the woods. I don't have tons of retirement money wrapped up in the markets...whatever

Fairness? Ok...well if a country has a large military it's for a reason and it gets used. We have that and we use it. I think "fairness" is a weak argument by Donald. The second part of your statement I agree with, BUT, the American population has to agree to that, which means paying WAAAAYY more for goods. Personally, I'm not opposed to that. I go out of my way to purchase goods, food and services that are centered in about a 200 mile radius of where I live. I will not shop at Walmart or the other big boxes but of course I cannot get everything because our economy has welcomed cheap crap. I'm not opposed to the idea, I think Trump is going about it in an idiotic manner. His forcefeeding of this economic change is going over like a lead balloon. There are ways to do it that don't bankrupt people.

Fair share for what, their protection? That's what the big kid on the block is supposed to do, right? We were the heavyweight but that won't last long if we don't have any influence. Unless, we just want to go around throwing punches but MAGA seems opposed to that too. I'm not sure what the end game is here. I'm not cool with abdicating our leadership/protection role and replacing it with what? Nothing?? What are we going to get out of this deal with Canada besides pissed off Canadians?

Agree with the first part. I would contend that people didn't really understand what that meant...for better or worse. The second part is like the heavyweight picking a fight with a welterweight who's their cousin...of course the heavy will win but what's the f-in point?

Donald may have realized his nose is on his face. It's a start.

Agreed, if she aided the suspect then charges should be brought. Also, there is a constitutional issue at hand if the Executive branch is disregarding the Judicial branch. Would you agree?

It's plastic...

I completely agree that guns deter violence. Gun education also deters violence. I'm not sure what you're referencing with the other "items".

Yes Agreed, the tried and true MAGAs will die on the hill while they lose not only their way of life but all of their rights and they won't understand it. Then, there are the independents who are like the shifting sands. Then, there are the actual conservatives who bite their lips and have told themselves that "Trump isn't that bad, I like most of his policies"...these are the people who really matter because what he's doing to the economy MASSIVELY affects their view of him and all republicans. These are the people with gay kids and daughters who have abortions and whose wives work at schools so they can get cheap healthcare. These republican will not stand for their money to evaporate and their business expenses to double. They will vote blue in a heartbeat if they think it will save their $$.

Well, it also helps to be honest ABOUT guns. Would you rather have an "Evil" person attacking a movie theatre or a football game with a lever action .30-30 or an AR-15 with a bump stock and 30 round magazines? I get that you're set on the idea that only people kill, which is true. People kill and people also design guns to kill other people with maximum effectiveness. These issues cannot be separated IMO. We have a society that is creating people who want to kill other people and we are giving them access to really efficient weapons that are capable of killing many, many people in a very short amount of time.

People going to Church on Palm Sunday ARE working for peace. They are going there to pray for it and the grace of God. What exactly is your point? Defending Russia in this situation is like defending Hamas. You should know that.

Who should lay the groundwork, the country that was invaded or the parents and kids that were exploded?

You post this like some gleeful school girl. WTF? I'm assuming you're Catholic because of your Avatar which connects you to a proud Catholic University. What do you think about that pig Putin exploding celebrating Catholics on Palm Sunday? Where's your X links to that?

Hahahaha...we're concerned about the Salvadoran "legal process" here? Holy f- dude... I haven't read about this guy that was deported, I don't know if he's a gang banger or not but conjecture about respecting the "Salvadoran legal process"! yeah...uh-huh

Wrong approach...I'm a right of center independent. It's pretty clear that the US is exposing itself unnecessarily in multiple ways while losing leverage and standing. If you're keeping up then you notice that we are accelerating towards a war with China as well. It appears that the first step is the economic confrontation.

The once proud United States of America is being run into the garbage heap by a quack. "They were getting yippy." Da F you say Donald? At least when demented Biden was running the show there were some people at the front of the house who gave a semblance of normalcy. This is whack. Congress needs to take the tariff toy away from Donald before he does even more damage. The problem is that the MAGAs have given him so much power that nobody right of center will even give him the side eye...cowards.

It really is mind boggling. He's like a monkey with an AK-47...

I couldn't agree more. Why they didn't grease the skids with our allies and partners (Canada, Mexico, EU) and then hammer down on the Chinese is a complete mystery. No clue what they're doing.

Newsflash...if Trump said dogsheet was the best toothepaste MAGAs would have dogsheet smiles.

Yup, and it's starting to pizz off everyone else too...I cannot for the life of me understand how people root for the demise and destruction of other Americans.

I already said he was shot. I laid of the width and breadth of the vast conspiracy you’re suggesting earlier sooo… Do you know Butler county? It’s a swing county outside Pittsburgh. It would be one of the very important “litmus” counties in a close race. But, with lots of rabid MAGA supporters. Maybe that’s why they picked it. Or, maybe they were part of the vast conspiracy to live stream Trump’s head exploding. Thanks…I’d like something summarizing his career rulings…you got that? Like the bigger picture…

What does TDS and cope and seethe have to do with a discussion about the FBI? The lawyer broke the law and was punished, that’s good right? I don’t know what a “normal” sentence would be there. Maybe you can find a clip on X that will explain and be helpful. Post it here if you do….please. Or, it was coincidence…it can only be one or the other. Let that sink in… Questions swirl…. Answers remain elusive… Tension builds…

If they committed crimes let the charges come and trials and verdicts. If the system deems them “guilty” or “innocent” I will accept that verdict. I have no belief that the system is currently corrupt. I will completely accept them as crimes when you have some facts to post (see above about trials) instead of the literal hamster $hite X posts you feed on. We’re not all like you.

Behind it?? Well, I'm behind Dan and the FBI so there's that. If they deem that more important than other enemies then I guess I'll have to trust them or the country will pay the price. We're all just observers. We're also citizens under their protection. If that's what they decide is important then that's it. I'm glad you're so excited for all this. It will be fun. When do the public executions start?
