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.

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.

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”.

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.

Dumb. These are real people. Put them in a humane US detention center for processing. There are moral and immoral actions and this is immoral.

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?

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?

When there is a dem president, republicans love to use the courts and judges to stop them. When Dems use courts to stop trumpy…outrage!! Looks like the system is working. The solution is for congress to act by passing legislation.

Trump paints his face each day and colors his hair to look like a taco, so the name fits well.

I’m late to the discussion here..l.been busy enjoying life away from PPP and maximizing time outside since we have finally gotten some nice weather. With respect to your comment, I remember all the hysteria from the right in response to Obama using executive orders to implement his policy. Now that Trump is doing the same, to an even greater degree, the right is happy. The odd thing is that Republicans control everything, yet Trump still feels he has to resort to EOs rather than working through congress. Which suggests to me that republicans in congress want to distance themselves from his policies. The founding fathers would never support EOs to implement policy. In the early history of our nation, they were rarely used. Conceptually, the President should be working through congress to implement policy. EOs should be the exception, not the norm, yet somewhere along the line congress decided Presidents can do whatever they want through use of that process. I guess I agree with your concept that there is the ideal of how government should work vs how it does work. Here is an interesting link showing how EOs have been used across America’s history. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/executive-orders Also…I cast my lot with Biden because I thought he would hurt me less than Trump. I tend to like stability and slow change and felt Trump was too unpredictable. He has proven me right.

Yea, I’ll be labeled TDS. On the larger issue, why isn’t anyone asking why?

Other than some empty words about being tough on Russia, he has acted consistent with the interests of Putin. All his staff with personal contact with Russians, his many private calls with Putin, meetings with Putin surrogates, dismantling US cyber security, firing people involved in cyber defense of our elections, etc. That’s all not by some odd random chance of coincidence. If it acts like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s an orange traitor duck.

I absolutely agree with this point. Republicans will never agree to a Dem proposed plan to solve this problem. So they should put their cards on the table and show us their proposal to solve this forever problem. Both sides claim to support legal immigration so let’s make it a workable legal process. American businesses need legal immigrants for many jobs and more people will be paying taxes. Crack down on businesses hiring illegals, more courts to process immigrants, provide a pathway to citizenship, increase support from the Hispanic community, etc. Problem is, other than tax cuts, Republicans can’t or won’t propose anything to solve any complex issue. I hope they prove me wrong.

So Trump sent 50 LEGAL immigrants to a hell hole prison with no charges against them, no prison term sentence, no future. Even murderers and drug cartel leaders get better treatment than that. It’s as if America is the kidnapper sending innocent people to rot in a country that’s not even their own.

How many people in the Clinton, Bush, Obama or Biden administrations had personal ties to Russia? With Trump, it’s almost like a pre-requisite for qualifying to interview for a high level position. No one can explain why.

If Obama had accepted that jet from Quatar, republicans would have gone ape s@#t bonkers and claimed it as proof he is a traitor and not American. They would demand impeachment. Trump does it and his flock of sheep are silent.

Remember the months of debate about Obama Care? Republicans protesting and all their hoopla. Now they are just fine with ramming through this which will have a big negative impact on health care for millions. Still waiting for the big beautiful Trump Care plan he has repeatedly promised.

All this Biden news about his mental and physical health is why we need an age limit of about 70 to run for President. It’s pretty clear people around Biden were managing his mental decline, limiting his speaking appearances. With his prostrate, either they have known he has had the cancer (without telling America) and has been secretly receiving treatment all along and the treatment hasn’t been effective, or he has refused treatment while knowing he has it allowing it to advance (which seems unlikely), or for some stupid reason they haven’t tested for it because they/he didn’t want to know if he had it. It’s all bad. Hopefully he has plenty of days ahead of him to enjoy with his family and friends.
