The whole vibe around the army parade is a bit weird. I have mixed feelings about it all. Cheering people driving deadly war machines is’nt an American tradition, although we use those machines to do plenty of killing. We all know the death and pain those machines inflict. We still have bad memories of Iraq. Plenty of Americans and innocent civilians died there. Trump himself ran on keeping us out of stupid wars and disapproval of all the money and lives wasted there. Trump sending Guard troops into LA against the wishes of the state is another weird part of it all, along with his admiration for dictators. On the other hand, 250 is a significant anniversary for the Army. We all should be proud of that. The whole event seems a bit Ho-hum and tomorrow we will be on to other more significant things.

It’s not the parade by itself. It is in the context of Trump sending Guard troops into LA, against the States wishes, and masked unidentified men snatching people off the street. Regardless, I think we will survive this one and Trump will get his wet dream.

Warren Buffett never talks about how wealthy he is. On the campaign trail, Trump always felt the need to remind people of how rich he is. The most powerful military on earth doesn’t need a parade of hardware to show everyone. That’s dicktator sh#t that Trump adores. A celebration of the Army should honor the men and women, of all races who have sacrificed and served, past and present. Tell their stories, sacrifices and achievements. I hope this is the focus of the event rather than a parade of tanks, rocket launchers and marching troops for Trump.

U.S. - China agree on framework of trade deal

This is Trump getting nothing. All the financial losses to American businesses and consumers just so we can continue to pay more in tariffs than before Trump. The key issues remain unresolved. -
RFK In Charge of Health Care
Andy1 replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So why is this a good thing? There are plenty of problems with health care but vaccines isn’t one of them. Insurance companies only pay for vaccines based on what the CDC recommends. So is RFKj puts his quacks in there, you will end up paying full cost for your vaccines. -
This is similar to what was reported before. Japan wants to make a deal but Trumps negotiators could not negotiate because they don’t know what he wants. Trump wants the fight but doesn’t know what the hell the end goal is. Where are the incredible, amazing deals?

So true. They and Trump have no sense of humor.

Pregnant women go to the ER because it’s an emergency. Emergencies don’t just happen to Dem women. Do republican women really support this? This was the one protection we were all assured of when they passed all these restrictions on women’s healthcare. So in some red states, it sounds like the fate of the pregnant women will be left to “Gods will”.

Trump’s Second Term Is About Making America Corrupt Again
Andy1 replied to Homelander's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
There are deals to be made and he is open for business like a globalist prostitute. Of course there is no conflict of interest. All the best presidents in our history were making personal business deals with other nations. -
Correct. It’s stupid to expect the wealthiest nation in the world to have a trade surplus unless we all return to work in factories and farms. Aside from food, medical and national defense related products, it doesn’t matter much where products from. Diversifying production away from China makes sense and has been happening. I personally try to buy American when I can. We bought a USA made hammer staple gun today. Last time I looked to buy a pair of USA made work boots they were priced at over $300. I’ll pass at that price. For alot of products, USA production will never be possible, or cost competitive with import stuff and imports are often better quality. I think a lot of people mistakenly equate trade deficit with national deficit. Trump intentionally confuses people about this with his lies claiming other countries are paying the tariffs and making us rich.

The Trump administration knew that the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants it sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the United States before it labeled them as terrorists and deported them, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security data that has not been previously reported. President Donald Trump and his aides have branded the Venezuelans as “rapists,” “savages,” “monsters” and “the worst of the worst.” When multiple news organizations disputed those assertions with reporting that showed many of the deportees did not have criminal records, the administration doubled down. It said that its assessment of the deportees was based on a thorough vetting process that included looking at crimes committed both inside and outside the United States. But the government’s own data, which was obtained by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and a team of journalists from Venezuela, showed that officials knew that only 32 of the deportees had been convicted of U.S. crimes and that most were nonviolent offenses, such as retail theft or traffic violations. The data indicates that the government knew that only six of the immigrants were convicted of violent crimes: four for assault, one for kidnapping and one for a weapons offense. And it shows that officials were aware that more than half, or 130, of the deportees were not labeled as having any criminal convictions or pending charges; they were labeled as only having violated immigration laws. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/05/30/trump-el-salvador-deportees-criminal-convictions-cecot-venezuela/ So in what world is it just fine for the US government to send immigrants to a third country to serve potential life sentence in a hell hole prison, with no criminal charges, no leagal hearing, no defined sentence? This is what Putin or other dictators do. The majority of these people are just immigrants who crossed the border and wanted a job and a better life. Mass murderers, child rapists and drug cartel leaders are treated better than that. Trump did it just because he wanted too. Then, when the government is informed of their mistake, they claim no ability to retrieve them. Is the Christian right all fine with this?

Elon's Scheduled Temporary Special Employment Ends!

Hey, this is just what’s in the news and this seems to be the place to post it to let people be aware of it and stir the pot a bit. Thats all quite normal for Trumpers to do here. People will believe what they want. When the big bad wolf leaves the farm, the chickens start to squawk, so it wouldn’t be unusual for this report to come out now. It’s not the first time that Musk has reported to be a user of ketamine. Trump himself publicly speculated recently, without evidence, that the cocaine found in the White House during Biden’s term belonged to sleepy Joe or his son. Trumps FBI is now reopening the investigation into that event. Trump makes suggestive allegations, without evidence, about his targets all the time. It’s how he plays politics. So what’s fair game and what isn’t? -

So Trump chooses an arrogant ass who is a drug addict to run doge. Only the best for Trump. No wonder he was acting like a psycho with his act. Now he is a billionaire with a bad bladder wearing a diaper. -
I haven’t heard of Tesla burning parties. How many people are burning their Tesla’s? Like two?
