So Oneironaut is dumb and/or disingenuous enough to claim that the concerns the CEOs of America have about the Trump economy are based on whether they're going to get government handouts.

Why should we trust the views of business leaders and economists (and regular people) about the harm being inflicted on the economy when we've got the assurances of Oneironaut and other MAGA cultists?

If it weren't for profound ignorance, all he'd have are cruelty, dishonesty and crime.

How can it possibly be legal, not to mention credible, to pay people to vote or sign a petition?

If we assume that 30-40% of Social Security recipients align with the GOP, this would mean that somewhere around 22 to 29 million Social Security recipients could be Republicans."

Trumpf won 77,302,580 votes on 5 Nov 2024.

I did a little digging and found this from the Pew Research Center:

A 2012 survey found that "most Democrats (60%) and Republicans (52%) say they have benefited from a major entitlement program at some point in their lives. So have nearly equal shares of self-identifying conservatives (57%), liberals (53%) and moderates (53%)."

"Republicans and Democrats are about equally likely to have gotten Social Security or Medicare benefits (32% vs. 33%)."

According to Trump and his hired goons...

Yeah, that's a truth-telling bunch. Great track record for honesty.

Somebody must have told Trump that America's seniors, along with their grown children, would be looking to take his scalp if Social Security checks stop flowing. They might anyway, but that would cinch it.

This country is so screwed.

And the right wing is suddenly just fine with being an also-ran, the equivalent of an incel on the world stage. What's the term you guys like to use? NPC?

Uh-oh. It appears we have a stray.

Please have him exterminated, Mr. Miller.

Yes, master. With pleasure!

MAGA lumpers simply refuse to accept that anything being done by the DOGE-bag administration could possibly be an intentional effort to make good people suffer, despite evidence of this very thing every hour.

I love that Musk is suffering real-life economic consequences of proving daily what a wan ker he is.

It's depressing how farging stupid these pinheads are. Can't wait till they go back under their rock. The world will be a better place.

Sure are a lot of suspiciously anti-democracy, pro-Putin --- wipes on this thread. Best not to engage with such traitors.

Jesus Christ, these DOGE-bags are brazen and evil.

Trump once again covers his eyes and ears to truth, to history, to science. Just as he did with Covid when it first appeared, with "DEI" aspects of Iwo Jima and Arlington, and on down the line, he thinks if you don't talk about it, your problems are solved.

Everything he does takes America backward. He's turning us into a Third World country.

You are being snookered. Just admit you fell for the con and move on.

I know you righties love being angry, but alienating every other country on the planet is not good for our wellbeing.

Look at the morons and traitors defending this absurd spat conjured up a month ago out of whole cloth by a nationalist lunatic. What a joke MAGA world is.

I don't like when any company gets around paying taxes. No matter who is president.

Seems fair to me, considering that Elon is just a lowly multibillionaire, and he, his son Klingon and the incoherent orange golfer are working hard every day to save America from stability.

I know we have a lot to think about already, but didn't President Musk and the dementia-addled felon who works for Putin say they were going to Fort Knox to inspect the gold? Whatever happened to that?

SQUIRREL!

Most documents from Joe Biden were autopenned.

The implications are important and need investigated.

WTF are you even talking about?

Trump is ruining America. I'm sorry you can't deal with the fact that you chose poorly.

This is a recession by choice. This is global hatred being foisted upon our country through, for some reason, an intentional effort by a cartoon jackass who cares only about himself and is motivated entirely by revenge.

For anyone who voted for Trump despite the obvious evidence of his depravity, and now wants to blame Democrats for being too weak to stop him, a giant GFY.

Lies, mass layoffs, treason, threats and polygraphs do not engender a good work environment.

When you treat people like crap, don't expect them to remain loyal to you.

"Sure, there'll be a little short-term pain," said the president as he teed up on the golf course for the 14th time since his inauguration. "Maybe don't buy eggs for a while, all right?"
