When you get rid of all the bias and spin in the explanations given by this article (I mean, they don't even bring up compound interest as a VERY relevant piece of the puzzle in savings over time...something even an Econ freshman knows), you come down to the same fact that is impossible to get around. No matter what you do, prices will skyrocket for American consumers. You want more corporate tax? Guess who pays for that...it isn't the corporations. It's the consumer. Try coming up with a valid solution instead of spewing trash that has already been proven IN REALITY BY OTHER COUNTRIES that does not work and only causes more problems.

In the end, no matter what we do, to stop our debt from making us insolvent, it's going to take DRASTIC changes that WILL impact Americans negatively. While liberals are content with pushing the problem down the road, Reps at least have crossed the line and committed political suicide to try to fix the problem. Liberals just want to live in their fantasy land of solutions that don't work but sound good because they meet our ideology.

Of course, DR lib kids will just immediately resort to name calling. Which just proves my point anyways, so carry on.

"We'll be required to wear powdered wigs soon. Unless you fall crosswise on Trump's Color Chart, which would dictate chains as a substitute."

Please provide evidence of your claims. I have yet to see Trump put anyone in chains, much less anyone of color. Please provide real-world evidence and not some rhetorical, highly-contextual partisan hate that only serves to spread more hate.

This is almost word-for-word what my reply was on DR years ago when Obama was being accused of catering just to black people, so you can't claim hypocrisy on my part. I prefer balance and not spreading hate. Looks like you DR lib kids want no balance and for hate to rule this country.

Everyone wants convenience until their data is breached, then they want to blame others for offering conveniences that can't be 100% protected (no system is 100%).

In other words, people are stupid.

"Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as "woke" by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that "purging the woke from the military is imperative."

Now, disagreeing with fighting against wokeness is not in question here. The question that has to be asked here, if you are trying to spread propaganda that Trump is sexist or discriminatory, is whether or not he is only targeting those who are of non-white, non-male persuasions. Yet, the quote above says "list", which infers there are more people involved. If that list is only comprised of Trump's disliked demographic, as you are insinuating, then you may have a point. Yet, all I can find is that he fired 10 people so far and one was a woman and one was black. I didn't try too hard to go through the list and figure out the demographic of each; however, based on what I have seen, it's VERY apparent that Trump is firing based on wokeness mentality and NOT because of discrimination.

So, the real question then is why are liberals spreading demonstrably false/fabricated insinuations about someone when they themselves claim to want to stop the spread of false/fabricated news? Again, whether or not you believe wokeness is a fireable offense is not in question so you have to take out your obvious partisan bias in order to be objective.

That's nothing. Wait until you learn about the time when Dems ordered probes against Trump for something he didn't do with Russia, and they know he didn't do.

Hypocrisy is just another tool for you liberals.

Considering liberal fact checking outlets have already been outed for bias and not reporting real facts, the fact that you actually believe anything they say is evidence that you don't care about facts in the first place. It's not even debatable anymore, on either side. Fact checking means absolutely nothing anymore. It was good during Trump's first term but, ever since, liberals have ensured fact checking is nothing more than another partisan way for media outlets to make up exaggerations and biased media.

So, that's a really broad definition of "people who help fight fires". Based on this article, a janitor who picks up trash in a park can be considered "someone who helps fight fires". Fearmongering over something that impacts hundreds of people in a land of 330+ million means you are worried about rare exceptions. So why don't you have ANY worry over the exceptions of illegal immigrants who rape and/or kill Americans? Why do you choose to ignore those people but care so deeply about some park rangers who were just bloat in the system?

It's sad that so many breaches are proving that having one company become so big it can destroy security. Crowdstrike, Change Healthcare, CDK Global, etc. all prove that one company having control of a significant amount of anything is bad for security. Having one API is a terrible idea. But, one thing all Americans are good at no matter which party they belong to is sacrificing security for convenience.

It's hilarious how far partisan people will go to try to fearmonger. First off, you can't prove a negative...something liberals say every single time someone says prove there isn't a God. Secondly, you are actually insinuating that we have been working on cancer solutions for decades and all of a sudden we are going to miss a breakthrough because we aren't spending the same funding on research for a little while.

I mean, liberals are already known as the party of hypocrisy now. You don't need to add more labels like they are the party of nonsense to that list. We don't need any more reasons to get a blowhard Republican voted into office after Trump. Do better.

"That goes out the window if China decides to call the 800 billion of US debt they carry, devaluing the US dollar and raising interest rates the US would have to pay."

It is insane that you don't understand economics at this point. If you are talking on the subject then I would think you would have some kind of knowledge how things work. You probably only see the number and think that is the full debt. First off, $800b would do absolutely nothing to the US dollar. That is an insignificant sum in the context of this conversation but I assume you are one of those people who think China owns a significant amount of US debt and that they could hurt us with it (they can't). Secondly, there are all kinds of debts. If China were to try to collect on our debt, we would just decide to collect on their debts to us...of which they have many. Link below is just one case. There are others.

"Shrimp- gas prices up 10% here from a week ago.
Are we winning yet?"

It wasn't that long ago Biden was trying to get America to believe that the POTUS can't do much about gas prices. And liberals everywhere, including you DR kids, supported him in that regard. Yet, as usual and to my point above, you let hypocrisy rule your party.

The point isn't to demonize you. The point is to get you to realize that all of this whining like babies and being hypocritical does absolutely nothing. In fact, one could easily say it hurts our country. So, while you are busy calling out Reps for hurting our country, you are doing the exact same thing.

Liberals, you have become your own worst enemy. I remember in 2022 that everyone said we were in a recession after the stock market dropped more than it has recently. And the liberal reply was telling us we aren't in a recession and the definition we used for recession forever was actually not correct.

It's sad you are so oblivious to reality that you can't even stop for a minute to think critically about anything you say. And the result is a blowhard idiot is voted into office, all because liberals can't get outside of their fictional world to join the rest of us in the real world to try to solve problems so that an idiot like Trump doesn't get voted in to shock the system.

But, yeah, blame everything on people who don't agree with everything you say. That has worked wonders for your party and for this country, hasn't it?

Rofl, once again liberals cannot shake their hypocrisy. For DECADES, liberals are the ones who have demonized the military camp. They have demonized that America sells military equipment to other countries, even our biggest allies. They demonized the multi-billion dollars deals.

Now, all of a sudden it meets their narrative and they are for it.

Are ANY of you capable of being objective and seeing how incredibly bad your party has become? Are you capable yet of seeing that it is only through your party's astounding dive into extremism has allowed someone like Trump to actually get voted in in the first place?

You can't argue what I said above yet you can't accept it, either. It is definitely inarguable since all of the proof is out there and we have decades of it, so you can't argue it or ignore it. My guess is you will turn to the only other defensive option you have that doesn't require accepting that maybe your party could do a little better, so go ahead and commence with the name calling.

There is a very clear trend with liberals now and nobody can deny it. When they don't like that others have different opinions and/or narratives, they resort to violence. Liberals who live like climate change is Satan have no issue destroying property. Liberals who live like their entire lives are poor because of someone else have no issue destroying cities. People who don't like a political figure now have no problem defacing other peoples' property. They had no problem throwing shoes at people's heads. They have no problem using disruptive and loud protesting in suburban neighborhoods. They have no problem blocking traffic, which there are examples of people missing appointments such as health, flight, etc.

But every single one of you will say it's necessary. And yet, when someone who doesn't hold your opinion or narrative does it, you say it's terrible.

What a waste of human potential.

Just more undeniable and inarguable proof that liberals can't allow anyone to exist in this world that do not have the same opinions and narratives as they do. It's the same reason why Hitler had to kill all those Jews, they did not subscribe to his narrative. And now we have a long article basically calling out all non-liberals JUST LIKE Hitler called out the Jews.

Sure, I've used Godwin's Law, but since all of you (almost every single day) invoke it then there should be no problem with me doing it, either. But, again, you will resort to name calling and trying to demean me, which is actually awesome because you will be proving my point 100% and beyond contestation. So thank you.

The government paying for any kind of public media is absolutely wrong and every single one of you know it. You just won't own up to it when it meets your narrative. Typical and pathetic.

It's about time. Veterans are veterans. It doesn't matter their skin color or anything else. All that matters is they sacrificed in order to protect our country. You see, MLK had a dream. And that dream was that people will be judged by their character, not by their skin color or gender. And that dream was heralded by EVERYONE who isn't a KKK member as the pinnacle of how we should treat other people. But, now we have liberals wanting the country to be segregated and racist based on skin color and it's absolutely sickening. I guess I can't say it's new since they have been doing it ever since fighting to keep slavery. But still, what a freaking shame. Seeing so many of you supporting discrimination by skin color and gender is appalling and now I get why celebrities like Rosie and others are so ready to leave this country.

It is so sad to see a big group of people who want to spend taxpayer money on keeping people employed who can't provide any purpose of being employed beyond just the fact they are employed.

In every entity on the planet, workforce reductions occur when bloat occurs. And the US government's bloat has been occurring for decades. Someone comes along and wants to do something about it and we have a big group of people who are saying, "No, we want our taxpayer dollars to be spend frivolously. We want taxpayer dollars to be thrown away so that our debt continues to skyrocket."

The saddest part is that it is only happening because that group of people can't stand it when someone who doesn't agree with their opinions is the one making the change. That's not against liberals, cons would be doing the exact same if Biden had come out with this strategy. But, the point still remains, liberals are now admitting they want to taxpayer money to be wasted on fraud, waste, and abuse and there is nothing they can do to argue against that because it's all out in the open now.

Another POTUS change, another mad-lib template done by partisan people.

Awwww...how cute, liberals still ignoring logic.

I can make ANY city the happiest city these days just by passing policies that get rid of the people that don't fit the cities narrative. If you have 50% lib and 50% con in a city, and you get rid of the 50% con...you are going to have a huge amount of people who are happier. And vice versa. Takes a 5 year old to understand that kind of logic. Congrats!

What I wonder is would libs be in favor of retaliating against every country who unfairly tariffs our goods? Technically that is what we are doing, except just in a way that attempts to even the playing field instead of whining and crying like liberals do.

But, seriously, why do liberals feel it is OK for other countries to do (for decades in most cases) EXACTLY what Trump is doing, but it's not OK for America to do it? I mean, that's kind of rhetorical because everyone knows the biggest part of that answer is just "A Rep thought of it so we have to hate it" but for those who are actually intelligent, why is it OK?

Rofl, liberals trying to convince people that billionaire slush funds like SS are something they hate.

Many rich politicians on both sides made themselves and their states rich ENTIRELY because of the slushiness of social service funds and everybody knows it (well, DR lib kids just haven't been around long enough probably to understand it). But now all of a sudden Dems want to try to point the finger on that, too.

Hypocrisy is the only platform liberals have.

Well, even top liberal strategist have been calling for a forced correction during Biden years. The country is way overdue for one and any economist with any kind of education knows why that is bad. I thought Biden was on his way to making it happen until I realized he was just old in mileage and didn't really know what was going on. But now we have Trump who still has mileage left and is making the necessary changes in order to right the ship.

I guess what's really sad is libs actually think $30t+ debt means everything is A-OK and that serious changes aren't needed. Which is another reason why I wish every liberal who said they would leave the country if Trump is elected would actually leave the country so we can become responsible again. Then I'm sure they would love to come back to this country and take credit for all of it. So it's a win-win for both sides. So please, leave. Let the adults make the difficult choices to bring us back to solvency again and then come back and claim credit for everything good like you usually do.

"No duh! A US citizen can literately be gunned down in the streets by a Government agent for mere suspicion. No warrant no cause. How is this freedom?"

Well, when you can prove this ever happened, then maybe you have a case. Unfortunately, all you can prove is that there is context you don't like in cases where something similar happens and you want to ignore any evidence that doesn't agree with your narrative. This kind of partisanship is killing this country solely because people like you make that kind of false statement and it spreads, just like what Trump is doing. In other words, you are no better than Trump and that's just sad.

Wow. So the example they gave has to do with not allowing protestors to be violent or protest outside of what the law allows. The right to protest does NOT give people the right to protest with force or squatting on property they don't own. Even sit-ins are illegal but as long as they are completely passive, typically the law lets it go on for a time. Sorry, but no matter how much spin you put on it doesn't make that any less true, at least under America's laws. The people America has gone after are not peaceful protestors following the law. You can't argue that. You can't say it's not true. It's reality. Accept it.

And what's even funnier about this is that, so far, nobody has been able to provide ANY evidence of freedoms or civil liberties being taken away from the masses. In other words, everyone has the same rights and freedoms. Now, what you CAN provide evidence of are special interest groups trying to get rights for their groups that other groups don't have, like trans people wanting to be able to compete as whatever gender they feel like (if I'm not trans, I don't have that right so actually MY civil rights are being infringed). And that is wrong on so many levels and it's sad Dems are supporting it. But, the fact still stands there are no laws or pressures being put on people that removes rights from them that doesn't remove rights from others.
