ABC's Leftiist PUNK and PUKE George Stephanapoulis settles Trump's lawsuit against Him and the sleaze network he works for, by paying out $15 Million AND they paid for Trump's atty fees which were another $1 Million.

No, he's not. In your own words, you are burping up the regurgitated lies that are spoon-fed to you by your puppet masters. Research the story a bit, and you will find that all of the border wall material was required to be sold in the 2024 budget bill for national defense and that 40% of it was sold to GovPlanet, the one holding the auction. The other 60% was donated to Texas, California, and border security for use in state and local projects related to border security.

Economic fallout from Trump mass deportations could eclipse Great Recession: Report

You don't have to be an economic genius to know that Trump's mass deportation plan would be devastating. The housing and construction business in Texas depends heavily on immigrant labor and would come to a crashing halt if illegal and undocumented workers were deported. As I understand, the dairy business is in a similar situation and relies heavily on similar labor to operate 24/7. Without that labor, they would go out of business since they have to operate 24/7 to produce enough products to stay profitable. I'm sure many other industries, such as meat-packing and agriculture, are similarly dependent.

I suspect there will be some arrests and deportation of criminals who are here illegally (which happens all the time anyway) and they'll trot out those stories as proof they're fulfilling their deportation plan campaign promise.

On the other hand, Trump seems to thrive on chaos and cruelty no matter what the cost, so who knows, maybe he'll actually try. It certainly won't be the first dumb thing he ever did.

These benign interpretations of what he intends to do or not to do ignore the fact that his rhetoric is overall harmful to the country. It's abusive and pathological to be making these threats constantly. Imagine you were in a relationship where your partner was continually threatening you with some harm. Even if they never actually carried it out, it's still abuse. And I would not be surprised even a tiny bit if he and the elements in his administration pushing a mass separation policy do not at least try to implement it, which will also be very harmful. The man is the definition of a domestic abuser; it's just that now he's the country's domestic abuser.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or both, to all you knuckleheads in the politics forum 2.0

I wish you all the best, Jim, and a happy holiday season. Continuing to remember and honor your wife will help you cope with the undeniably difficult task of grieving. I'm glad you have shared her with us.

"More than 15,000 doctors urge Senate to reject RFK Jr. as Health secretary"

“This appointment is an affront to the principles of public health, the tireless dedication of medical professionals, and the trust that millions of Americans place in the health care system,” the letter reads. 


“RFK Jr. Has a well-documented history of spreading dangerous disinformation on vaccines and public health interventions, leaving vulnerable communities unprotected and placing millions of lives at risk. His appointment is a direct threat to the safety of our patients and the public at large.”

I say let Trump have all these clowns. His administration will be so dysfunctional and rife with internal fighting and office politics that they won't be able to get anything done. Even if they manage to move an agenda forward, it will be so idiotic and extreme that even Republican lawmakers will oppose it. The only reason Trump got anything done during his first term is because his chiefs of staff, McConnell, and others were able to salvage some semblance of coherent strategy and vision. If we merely leave it to Trump and his loyalists and minions, they will do themselves far more harm than the opposition could ever hope to.

Bannon: “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,”

In your opinion is Bannon being:

1.  Delusional

2. Realistic

3. Optimistic

4. Something else

A guy with no money claims he will oust a guy with lots of money from Trump's inner circle? Good luck. Maybe we will get lucky, and they will both lose somehow.

Of course once again Democrats in Charge Wreaks Havoc, with Karen Bass and Gavin Newsome in power. Totally Incompetent morons, but then that's what you get with Liberal Democrats

He would lie, and he did lie right to a woman in California in her face, on camera, saying he was on the phone with Joe Biden, when he wasn't on the phone w/Joe Biden, because he's a coward and a scumbag, whose own rules and laws he ignores while enforcing them against his citizens of California. 

He's a lowlife, a liar, and a total incompetent.

I watched him do it, and morons out there on the left don't believe it.  Even Democrats ripped that Pile of Dogshit Newsome for lying to her face, but of course Morons on the left who claim this is some sort of conspiracy theory are those who have already proven they are dumb as a box of rocks. 

Then again morons who do respond and imply that Newsome didn't do it, are the same environmental nutjobs who are concerned about averse to clearing sagebrush and dead tinder, because well they are just too stupid for words or their noses are brown because these same morons have spent every waking moment kissing Gavin Newsome's ass because they can't find their own assholes when given a funnel.  

Know anyone like that Rod?  Just go look in the mirror.

Haha. Suddenly, lying matters to you. It's not the lying you care about if that indeed happened. It's just another way for you to relentlessly attack political views you disagree with. After defending Trump for over 8 years now despite his innumerable lies by this point, do you expect us to believe you care about lying?

Regarding Rod's original poll, I'm with Brian.   Bannon is trying to scratch and claw his way back to relevance.

We would all love to see less government waste, but I'm skeptical, to say the least, that billionaires with no government experience and who only wield power because of their wealth have an idea of how to govern.

You sure have a massive point there (lol), because Elon Musk being in the private sector all his life, having created company after company that turns a profit, and doesn't waste money, and having Zero experience wasting money hand over fist like all gov't personnel waste money, will definitely be a disaster......... NOT!   

Thanks for the glimpse into your mentality!   It's an eye opener for sure!   smile

As Ronald Reagan so famously stated:  "The 9 most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'"


Good grief, no wonder the Democrat party has a collective IQ of 14.  LOL  tongue


Oh, and here's a clue for you.  Elon Musk won't be governing anything, in case you were that confused, which it appears that you are.

If you try to change government spending, that will require knowledge of how government works and, more importantly, how to navigate the myriad of complex institutions and their interpersonal relationships. Musk has precisely zero experience in this regard and, like Trump, is probably used to being surrounded by "yes" men who do what he says. Trump, Musk, Vivek, and all of the other ultra-rich that Trump is surrounding himself with have no idea how to cajole, fraternize, and otherwise build the alliances they will need to effect real change. It's no wonder the MAGA crowd and Rich have a collective IQ of 14 because they have no idea how vital experience in government and interpersonal relationships are concerning getting anything done in Washington.
