Close. Trump's followers are deluded morons because of right wing propagandists. THEY are the problem.

Half of the country didn't live in delusion until fox news was created to "balance" out the facts with right wing propaganda.

And the GOP "BBB" is going to hurt a lot of people, mostly in the Red States. I wondered how many less expensive state or city-run hospitals are left in the US?

Here is one AI snapshot:

"As of 2025, there are approximately 6,093 hospitals operating in the US. Among these, about 1,000 are government hospitals, which include those run by state, city, or county authorities. These public hospitals are generally considered more affordable or "inexpensive" compared to private facilities, as they often provide care regardless of a patient's ability to pay and may receive public funding to offset costs."

Of those 1,000 government hospitals, many are probably VA which is getting its budget and personnel cut too.

The republican/russian/tech oligarch brainwashing machine is too powerful. The cult will believe that any hardship they experience is the fault of democrats.

The electoral slaughter against the well-entrenched status quo began with the off-year election a few weeks ago: A communist won in Ithaca, socialists won in NYC and Seattle, a Muslim won in Virginia, and Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is going to be primaried in 2026.

Yeah but those were in blue states. In every red state, or swing state controlled by repubs, there is no rule or law they won't break to make sure republicans win no matter who the voters choose.

Elections 2026 will be a slaughterhouse for Republicans.

They WOULD be. But fascists don't allow legitimate elections

listened again to the Mike Wolf interview...amazing how no one here on the left gives a
S that dems were actively working with epstein
to get trump.

so I'll remember that when 'you people" start lecturing .LYING...about pedophiles....

2 faced lying hypocrites...

#124 | Posted by shrimptacodan

Your cult was ALL worked up about epstein and exposing the pedophiles until you realized trump was so involved. Then it became "what's the obsession for?" and "15 year olds aren't children"

just saw side by side of DEMOCRAT rep from
the virgin islands...stacey pactlack.... in a hearing about trump asking questions from texts she was receiving from a convicted sex offender...
..J epstein.

and guess who her main money source was
j epstein.

don't believe me.....ask WAPO about it.

"you people " have never looked dumber,,,,

#128 | Posted by shrimptacodan

The difference is no dems will try and defend her. If she was funded by epstein we want her taken down.

You defend trump no matter how much epstein evidence there is.

No, when we bought our house 28 years ago we thought it was expensive then, everything seemed expensive just like today.

And now 3 more decades of reaganomics has made everything much worse:

Total Estimated "Life-Cost (Major Pillars)" Burden:

1997: ~$25,000/year on these four (health + housing + education + car) ' about 67% of median household income.

Today: ~$80,400/year on these four ' about 121% of the "real median" income (meaning these costs alone, in this model, exceed a single median household's income, which suggests such a household would need additional income, debt, or other resource to cover all of it).

Trump is going to hold those tariff dividend checks until summer of 2026. and most of you will cry that he used it to buy the midterms.

And you'll applaud it after admitting that you attacked biden for doing something similar.

Only biden didn't RAISE the price of gas himself which required using the petroleum reserve.
Trump HIMSELF raised the price of goods, which makes americans need assistance cash.

Trump is great at 20 percent fixing a problem that he 100 percent created.

There are no poor people in LA or NYC. If people can't survive there, how the hell do they live there?

It's called having roommates into your 40s and it's no way to live.

But before he announces the decision, he needs to tell his wall street insider cronies so they can illegally profit from knowing what will happen to the markets ahead of time.

Just 5 figures income in retirement here. Both retired now, but with both cars, low milage [55k and 78k] paid off, new tires and serviced before retired. etc. Bought retirement home cash and it came with quality furniture and a golf cart [do not golf, but great for getting around the 55+ community where we bought in Central FL, keeping our fuel and maintenance costs on cars low], HOA fee is 360 a month and that covers lawn cutting, Spectrum internet, and garbage pickup. plus gate guards.

Find we do not need a lot of income in our retirement - not rich, but comfortably well off IMO.

FTR: We never had a high income, but lived on less frugally for the past 20 years and banged the bucks into investments and her 401k [We liquidated the 401k to buy the house after paying the taxes owed on that money.

You grew up in a time when the economy served you. Hence you have a comfortable retirement. Your housing was cheaper, your employers took care of you, your healthcare was cheaper, childcare and education were cheaper.

Now the economy only serves the rich. And you think that's just fine.

It's about being precise with language, Alexandrite.

Only if youre a democrat. If you're maga you can say anything and it's "Oh well you know that's just hyperbole!"

They had the intel. We were lied to, for sure. But the liars were a bigger group than you can emotionally handle and accept.

It was liberals who rejected or questioned the iraq war lies and they were called anti american for it.

Republicans STILL hate france for not wanting to invade iraq based on our lies.

Your party has been awful for a long long time yet your voter registration hasn't wavered.

I seriously hope that isn't true. This whole thing is horrible enough without that.

#40 | Posted by BellRinger

It wouldnt be so horrible if you morons hadn't elected one of epsteins party pals to run the world.

Losers looking at Epstein files uncritically. No chain of custody.

So it's like hunter biden's laptop and ashley biden's diary?

Which is why it will be the most rigged election in american history.

This kinda blew up into misinformation.

This was the same Thanksgiving MSM were claiming Trump spent it in MaroLargo, when in actuality Trump was in Europe.

You can't explode a narrative better than that, even the Democrat account deleted it's post.

"In another email chain from December 2017, a guest of Epstein's claimed they didn't want to risk running into Trump at Epstein's Paris apartment. In other emails sent just days after the presidential election, Epstein claimed he was headed for New York as "Trump gives many new things to do," and later said he was visiting Trump Tower."

Perfect timing as China is reaching peak capabilities

Necessary action as Russia has infiltrated the white house.

Reaganomics keeps making life worse but morons keep voting for more.

Didn't they put that on Cheney's headstone?

#8 | Posted by eberly

What was your standing with the republican party during cheney's term when he was lying us into wars?

Were you against him (and the rest of your party) back then too? Or were you calling liberals anti american for protesting his war?

Just like repubs now say the iraq war was bad and blame it on democrats for NOT STOPPING republicans who wanted to invade, in a couple decades most will be blaming trump's disasterous policy results on democrats for whatever -------- reason.
