@TacomaSteveG @BullyEsq You aren't supposed to be governed by a man. You are supposed to be governed by an establishment with checks and balances. If you are being governed by one man, regardless of his qualities, that's a king

I genuinely don’t understand the No Kings stuff. Trump won a free and fair election by millions of votes. Our Founding Fathers notoriously rebelled against the Crown. Democrats just hand chose a candidate for president without any voting. Maybe the protests are about that?

@BullyEsq And since winning the election he has been breaking the law left and right, consolidating power in himself, and doing things that a king would do, such as declaring war on a country without the approval of Congress

@2147mill How much rent would you pay in 25 years? And how would your net worth have changed?

🇬🇧 Tom - Investor £120K
The average UK mortgage is £200,000 at 5% over 25 years. Total repayment? £350,000. You borrow £200K and pay back £350K. £150,000 straight to the bank. For nothing. Then you pay to fix up the house. Stuff breaks. You pay insurance monthly. Fees when/if you sell the property. And we act like renting is throwing money away. There is a strong argument for renting.

@jan_murray Try this: do you let your 4 year old child sit on a strange man's lap? How does that change if he's wearing makeup and a dress?

I was trying to explain to someone yesterday why women defend single-sex spaces. “Imagine you were forced into an enclosed space with a strange man and told to take your top off in front of him. No choice. No opting out.” “That’s different,” they said. “That’s basically sexual assault.” “Exactly,” I replied. “Now imagine the man is wearing women’s clothes - but you still know he’s a man.” You could literally see the penny drop. This is the grown-up version of being plied with cider at a party, shoved into a cupboard with a boy - then being told you’re frigid if you don’t do what he wants. Only now, frigid has been replaced with bigot.

If I told you that my CHILD was injured in a car accident, you would be compassionate and worried. If I told you it was because the BRAKES FAILED, you would be shocked and appalled. If I told you I found out the manufacturer decided not to bother testing the brakes, you would be mad and tell me to SUE. If I told you I found over 60 studies showing they knew they would fail and opted instead to cover it up, your HEAD WOULD SPIN. If I further told you that: The government KNEW ALL ALONG ABOUT THE DANGERS; that laws were passed to PREVENT ANYONE FROM SUING the manufacturers; that there were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of killed/injured CHILDREN, you would be beyond yourself trying to work out how to help these kids. But replace the word CAR with the word VACCINE and you would run a mile. Why? Think about it because this is the truth. Millions of parents are fighting each day JUST TO BE HEARD. The evidence is beyond question. Vaccines are not properly tested and hundreds of studies show the connection between vaccines and serious injuries, including seizures, neurological damage, Guillain Barre Syndrome and Death. This is besides the high rate of life- threatening allergies, asthma, cancer and chronic ailments amongst vaccinated children. Where are the recalls? Where is the demand for answers? Where is the public outrage? The alternative media is the only place where this information can be found because the truth is being suppressed. So are you going to continue ignoring the warnings and the truth until YOUR child is injured or killed? EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE

I just called my credit card company to request a card for my son. To confirm my identity, they asked if I went to college in Harrisonburg or Charlottesville. I said, "I went to undergrad in Harrisonburg and grad school in Charlottesville." The response: Incorrect. I explained the difference between a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. To no avail. "Just cancel my card." They could not do that either because they could not confirm my identity.

I just watched the craziest sci-fi I’ve ever seen!!! It was about this race of humans that were tricked into believing that they evolved from monkeys that came from an explosion of nothing. Then they made them believe that they were on a huge ball spinning at over 1,000 mph in something called “space” so they wouldn’t bother to explore their world. They even convinced these people to put products made of petroleum in the body and called it medicine. They put poisons in brightly colored boxes and convinced people it was food. Towards the end they started spraying people with chemicals from airplanes and convinced half the population to believe they always saw those lines in the sky. The name of the movie was “2026”! It was definitely entertaining but the plot isn’t even close the believable…. Right?

If it’s ACTUALLY true that Donald Trump r*ped a child, then let’s see the proof. If it’s true, treat him like any other child r*pist. Until then, everyone can shut the fuck up.

@misfitpatriot_ tariffs create an industry entry price point, albeit after startup costs, to sell domestic products competitively, in fact, at lower cost than imports. people don’t understand incentives.

Let’s debunk the whole “tariffs are a tax on Americans” talking point. A tariff is a “tax” on the IMPORTER of goods to the U.S. which means by definition, it is NOT a tax on Americans, its an additional fee in the form of a percentage added on to the cost of the product being shipped into this country. Essentially, it’s the cost of doing business. As stated in the latest SCOTUS ruling, the president has the authority to impose tariffs on goods through multiple avenues. This authority was given to him by congress in 1922, 1934, and 1974 through different pieces of legislation. Tariffs are paid to the U.S. by the country importing the goods, and they are collected by customs and border protection. The money then goes into the treasury, and is added to the general pool Congress uses to allocate for funding the military, Medicare, etc. In 2025, Trumps tariffs brought in 287 BILLION dollars. So, why do people say they’re a tax on Americans when they’re clearly a tax on other countries who import goods into America? The answer is simple, they’re lying to you. What these liars are implying is because the cost of goods will go up for a country like China, THEY will raise their prices and charge American companies who buy the product more, which they will then roll over to the consumer, and they claim that is essentially you being “taxed”. This is like calling the rise in price of a lobster based on season a “tax”. When in reality it’s just market value fluctuating due to mitigating factor. The part none of these talking heads will tell you is tariffs hurt the importer way more than it will ever affect the consumer. If we charge China a 15% mark up, and they try and recoup 100% of that by passing it to the receiver in America, they’ll just find a new supplier that isn’t so expensive or make their product in America and avoid tariffs all together. Retailers will never raise prices to the point where they lose customers. Nobody is gonna pay 15% more for something that was 15% cheaper the day before. What most businesses will do when we start imposing tariffs on other countries is build their product in America. That creates jobs, manufacturing, and over time, LOWERS the cost of goods across the board because now we have a competitive market instead of a market reliant on cheap shit from countries with no quality control and slave labor. Tariffs aren’t a tax on Americans, they’re a tool to incentivize American exceptionalism, and put America first over the countries who have been ripping us off by stealing our production, innovation, and manufacturing, and then selling it back to us for 10 cents on the dollar.

Donald Trump just announced a NEW 15% TAX on the American people. He does not care about you.

@misfitpatriot_ Other countries don't import into America. They EXPORT. American companies import into America from other countries, and then they add a markup to the cost of import so they can sell it to you and make a profit. If the base cost goes up, so does prices

@CarmineSabia He immediately announced that all the tariffs would stay and that he would increase them. How is that abiding? His initial imposing of tariffs was against the law, as ruled by SCOTUS

@IKnowThings4 Using existing laws. That is abiding by the decision, even the Oregon Attorney General said that he is within his rights to do that and that he is abiding by the decision. The decision was not "You cannot impose tariffs."

Trump said eventually with the tariff system that they would be able to oay for itself and remove income taxes. We would keep our hard earned money. Why would our Supreme Court want to rule against that? Americans just want to get ahead and stop the struggle. Damn.

Imagine you go out for dinner with ten friends. The bill comes. Under socialism, it wouldn’t be split equally. And you wouldn’t just pay for what you ordered. Instead, two of you would pay for almost everyone. A few would chip in a little. Several would pay nothing at all. Why? Because they “earn less.” Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? But that’s the logic we’re being sold. A tiny group carries most of the load. Half the country pays little or no income tax. Then we act shocked when the biggest contributors stop showing up. The people eating for free might enjoy it. But the ones paying won’t stay for long. No country thrives when success is treated like a crime.
