nope you brought trump into it.  he's been convicted of defrauding banks.  My business practice are nothing like his.  Nor are most of the other liberals who are willing to pay more in taxes.  Itt's not branding.  It's the truth.  I'm all for cutting costs as well.  So long as it's done in a rational way, cutting actual fraud an abuse.  Many who will lose their Medicaid are not fraudsters.  Some ar and I'm all for cutting them off and even prosecuting them.  Cutting funding to FEMA is not the way.  Nor attacking universities and important research funding etc.

 

The most I can do to increase revenue is support and vote for candidates who will raise taxes on the affluent.  I do that every election.

Instead of donating money to politicians, burn it. You'll get more satisfaction from it.

President Trump's entire 2024 election campaign was built on many issues, but overall, most of them boiled down to just two words: America First. 

 

In November, voters overwhelmingly responded to this message and delivered a resounding victory for Trump. 

 

The legacy media, however, never understood America First, not even a little bit. It's part of the reason that they have completely lost touch with the American people. Because the media still believes in globalism and never once believed in American exceptionalism. 

 

These facts have been highlighted throughout President Trump's immigration and deportation policies, which have been brought into sharp focus this week as the President has ordered the National Guard and the Marines into Los Angeles to quell the violent uprising taking place against ICE and law enforcement. And while Democrats and the media are trying to blame Trump for all of these problems, his approval ratings across America have never been higher.  

 

Maybe no media headline underscores their complete disconnect with the American people -- and their total loss of trust and credibility -- than the one we saw yesterday from the ABC Los Angeles affiliate, ABC7 Eyewitness News. Check it out: 

 

 

Umm ... OK. And they think this is a bad thing? 

 

The funny part about this post from ABC7 is that it is not only disconnected from the vibe shift in America, but it is also disconnected from the article it links to. The article is not an op-ed or a commentary piece from a leftist 'journalist,' it is just a series of live updates on the ground in Los Angeles.

Nope, it was you.  You’re probably confused because your malfunctioning virtue signal is messing with your eyesight.  

Let’s just move on.  This is like the 4th or 5th post where you’ve declared your willingness to be benevolent and generous while revealing you’re not either, but would be if the government made you.   
 

On the other stuff, some reasonable thoughts there.  Glad we can agree there are costs that can be cut, the only difference between you and me is I say cut expense first, raise taxes only as necessary.  You say look for cuts and increase taxes concurrently for select groups, especially liberals willing to help but only if required by law.

bs.  my paying 10k more without everyone else above me having their rates increased. would be spit in the ocean on the deficit.  totally futile. waste of money. conversely, increasing the tax on everyone over $250 or $400 k would make a dent and is the answer along with cutting spending.

 

Who doesn't like money?  People that don't have it?

 

I didn't steal anything unlike the president who you apologize for.

 

That was my reply to your comment…so…..yup.

Oh God, do you ever stop being dramatic?

Do you ever consider what is actually happening? You have gone from rediculous WOKE and immigration policies to new laws allowing your pres to cancel elections. 

Just ask yourself, why would that be in a spending bill?

What happens when a Marine is shot?

Don't necessarily know it is an illegal or a Democrat. Remember John Dean's role in 1968

I have become a bit bitter towards the dismissal of Occam's Razor in our society. Nearly everything that occurs is a conspiracy. It's like our entire existence has become one big gas light. People have lied to us and hidden things from us. But that also doesn't make everything more complicated than it needs to be. I asked if you have ever been to LA because I wanted to know your level of familiarity with this part of the country. Southern California has millions of illegals. It is normal for me to be the only white male in large populations here. Just like it is normal for me to see only white people in the Midwest when I go back to where I am from. It is not going to be easy carrying out widescale deportations in this region. These people's roots are much deeper here. They have more family members, more friends, and more resources to oppose this activity as a result. They don't need assistance. You can choose to believe what you outlined. To me just feels off base.

Who knows where this will go, but citations of 'credible evidence' certainly make this interesting given our exchange the other day.  This feels sort of on-base to me.

You might get the opportunity to be right or it might be nothing. Be sure it let us know.

Question of a question. No answer?  Or afraid to think of the future.

Remember Jihn Dean!

Geesh, a couple days ago, you’re invoking the principle of parsimony, recalling your days as the only Caucasian for hundreds of miles in south central (and later, a snowball in a cotton field in Topeka) while chiding me on outlandish conspiracy theories and how you’ve tired of them. Now, a senator opens  an investigation into the topic we were discussing and you’re disinterested.  Go figure.

Your excitement to throw points on the board based on a conservative politician doing conservative politician things outside the context of what we even discussed is not overly exciting to engage with. But I'm sure you will layer on multiple responses here. Most likely unanswered, unless I get some free time. Have at it.

No I didn't. Military used against their citizens is wrong and dangerous.

LA is hardly a take over of the government, a long way from Jan 6.

Is the  military now a presidents personal police force without a governors request.

My goodness, people went crazy at Waco, and that was just FBI, and don't say these are illegals, maybe a % was, but most are citizens.

So the courts have no control, a governor has no control, congress has no power...the military is used against its own, military parades, will they soon arrest a political opponent ?

How do you spell constitution? 

 

Used?  How?  Merely showing up as a deterrent?
