Not around here they didn't!

The ones around here never read the articles that get posted so they likely have no idea this is even happening.

More: "People are so quick to suggest that I flipped on Trump...No, no, no...I didn't flip on Trump. TRUMP FLIPPED ON US. I'm just not willing to continue living in a LIE, and I will tell you the unfortunate TRUTH about it," The Patriot Voice wrote on X to his 158,000 followers.

The Hodgetwins, popular conservatives and Trump supporters, have more than 3.3 million followers on X. In response to The New York Times report, they wrote on May 30, "Hope this ain't true y'all."

Another post that same day reads: "Don't know if this is true but I did not vote for this."

Nick Fuentes, a far-right Trump supporter described as an "America First" white nationalist, called the association between the Trump administration and Palantir "the ultimate betrayal of his own people."

"Feeding every 'MAGA extremist' into an AI database controlled by a CIA/Mossad cutout," Fuentes said on X, where he has roughly 561,000 followers. "Seriously, if Palantir isn't the deep state, then what is?"

In a video recorded by Fuentes, who also has a Rumble channel viewed over 31 million times, he said the following: "They are tracking everybody that criticized Israel, everybody that interacts with somebody that's criticizing Israel, and whether you're on a visa or not, whether you're a citizen or not, whether you're brown or not, Christian or Muslim, they're putting you in the Palantir database. They're putting you on the enemies list. If you don't see a problem with that..."

"I'm beginning to think it started when DJT walked down that escalator, before 2016," wrote an X user with the moniker "Redneck Common Sense."

X user Jack Maxey wondered: "Was MAGA a giant psyop?"

X user @D10Cat wrote: "Is Trump the same man that he was in 2016? Or did I just not see it back then?"

"The cope is unreal," wrote Ashton Nichols on X. "I voted for Trump but this is just unacceptable."

All those idiots in the deep south that voted for this have earned what's coming for them this hurricane season.

Totally illegal.

I had to handle with kid gloves while they were needed and shred immediately after they weren't all the SF-86 documents my Marines had to fill out to get/maintain clearances because it was a detailed dossier on a US citizen who had presumably done nothing wrong and therefore something we shouldn't keep.

I expected a Trans-Am

Which party do you believe will bring forth such legislation?

Neither of course, but that doesn't make what I said any less true.

Writing legislation to counteract the Citizens United ruling is the single most important thing our government could do right now.

Bernie is right but it'll never happen.

The White House has lost confidence...

Yet they still won't fire him. Weird.

If any event in the history of our country should be ground to a halt by protesters this is it.

More: Mr. Walczak, a former nursing home executive who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes days after the 2024 election, submitted a pardon application to President Trump around Inauguration Day. The application focused not solely on Mr. Walczak's offenses but also on the political activity of his mother, Elizabeth Fago.

Ms. Fago had raised millions of dollars for Mr. Trump's campaigns and those of other Republicans, the application said. It also highlighted her connections to an effort to sabotage Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s 2020 campaign by publicizing the addiction diary of his daughter Ashley Biden " an episode that drew law enforcement scrutiny.

Mr. Walczak's pardon application argued that his criminal prosecution was motivated more by his mother's efforts for Mr. Trump than by his admitted use of money earmarked for employees' taxes to fund an extravagant lifestyle.

Still, weeks went by and no pardon was forthcoming, even as Mr. Trump issued clemency grants to hundreds of other allies.

Then, Ms. Fago was invited to a $1-million-per-person fund-raising dinner last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.

Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.

The only thing shocking about this is that the cop admitted he shot himself.

Birds of a feather...

The passed this law on the sabbath breaking a commandment in the process.

It is a national embarrassment that the PotUS writes English at an elementary school level.

He was MAGAt trash.

The courts strike this BS down every time

Same vibe

More: But the global picture is even more interesting. While the world is now awash in debt, this is not a universal problem. Western governments, fuelled by cheap credit and the huge run-up in pandemic-era debt, account for most of the planet's borrowing. Add the private borrowing of their citizens, and their debts now account for several times their annual output.

While debt crises used to be thought of as a developing-world problem, most major governments there have since got their fiscal houses back in order. As a result, while investors have been demanding higher returns on loans to Western governments, since the start of the year bond yields in India, Nigeria, Brazil and Mexico have all been trending downwards.

It's obvious why. With better growth prospects and more prudent budgeting " not just by governments, but by the private and household sectors too " the countries of the developing world are starting to prove more attractive as long-term prospects for bond investors. If Western politicians continue to wave off the concerns of their lenders, they will continue to receive negative responses that choke off their credit supply. It happened in Britain three years ago; will America be next?

Calling it now, this will never be built.

She never should have made it though the Senate confirmation process.
