@ScottforFlorida It's called checks and balances. Congress isn't there to do Trump's bidding, it's there to represent we the people!!

@PNWConservative False. All opinions matter. But most of all, all not payed opinions matter.

@PNWConservative @gurl_livia @b01_martin Replace jews with Muslims and Spanish speaking and you are there :).

@gurl_livia @b01_martin Ahhhh yes, Trump is rounding up all those Jews. And he’s doing all the illegal stuff like enforcing laws on the book.
And yeah, his approval rating is declining, just like every single other president who is at least a year into their second term.
🥱

Trump on his Japan trip:
“I met the owner of Toyota who is 92 years old. I said ‘you are rich’ and he agreed to invest $10 billion in the US.”
Shoichiro Toyoda — the man who built Toyota into a global giant — died in February 2023.
He has been dead for over two years.
Trump met with someone at Toyota.
It was not the owner.
Because the owner is dead.
This is the same president who:
— Said he predicted everything then said he was shocked by everything
— Declared victory 5 times in 13 seconds
— Invoked Pearl Harbor to Japan’s face
— Said Tomahawks are very generic
— Called Gavin Newsom “the President”
Managing the most dangerous geopolitical moment since 2003.
With a meeting he just described that cannot have happened.

@mattvanswol The difference. Here the crowd takes the money. Trump just takes it for himself.

@OANN That is not how it works. If he can’t pay for it you don’t go strongarming your friends to pay it for you.

President Trump says the U.S. doesn’t have to be in NATO after allies refused support for Operation Epic Fury. He criticized European nations for rejecting aid and base access while praising Gulf nations for stepping up against Iran’s terrorist regime.

President Trump touts $18T in new investments, historic tax cuts, energy dominance, and booming factories. He slams Biden-era policies on immigration, highlights ICE at airports, and promises a military stronger than ever while countering Iran’s nuclear threat.

BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war.
Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze.
SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.”
The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway.
Here is why.
The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units.
The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year.
Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.”
Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now.
Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings.
Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours.
Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next?

Democrats have forced the second LONGEST shutdown in history to defund the police, reopen the border, and stop illegal immigration enforcement.
House Republicans REFUSE to let Democrats jeopardize our country with their crazy policies.
That’s why we're voting AGAIN to fully fund Homeland Security and pay ALL of our law enforcement officers.
No games. No gimmicks. Just common sense.

@StateDept THAT is not how it works! You don’t get a free lunch for the stuff you are pulling!

@StateDept YOU attacked THEM! What did you think what would happen????? Are ya dumb or something?

@FantasyGalaxies @GaiusF23 No. People hated the lovestory. They wanted action.

@DHSgov No. This is up to you. The democrats have no power whatsoever. I’m sick of these lies.

@tedcruz @steinhauserNH1 No you moved so far of to the right everything on the otherside just looks extreme. But mind you, the EU finds the democrates to be right side of the middle.

When I was first elected to the Senate, there were moderate Democrats.
They don’t exist anymore.
