Then again, when you read headlines only and just regurgitate what they said rather than taking the time to recognize that you're a brain dead fool, that's what happens.

Now, I know that the market didn't crash as predicted and as you were hoping beyond hope that it would so that you could blame Trump for the crash.

Funny at the power that one man seems to have in every facet of human existence.

It is quite amazing how everything bad that happens is Trump's fault and everything good that happens is in spite of Trump, because that is how it works in your twisted mind.

Now then since the stock market didn't crash and the tariffs didn't destroy the economy, that was in Spite of Trump's attempts to do so, therefore I guess there isn't much to say about the fact that You and every other leftist fear monger was wrong, and continue to be wrong, so I'll pivot to another subject where You were hoping beyond hope that America wouid fail under Trump, and that is the military success in Iran.

Well, I can tell you this, I'd rather root for the USA rather than take the tactic you take which is trying to downplay the military actions of the USA as You and the leftist media keep doing.

I know you were the first to come on here to try and diminish the bombing success in Iran.  You did your best to downplay it, sounding like a fifth columnist rooting for Iran, hoping that their Nuclear infrastructure was still intact.

You and those like you would rather hate Trump than root for the USA.  You and another got on here and put forth the scenario that Iran moved their nuclear stockpile and so the damage done to the nuclear program was quite minimal, when in fact during a press conference with a 4 star general and the Sec'y of Defense, they described how the USA and Israel essentially annihilated the Iranian nuclear program.

Of course, You and another got on this forum and ran with the idea that those massive ordinances really didn't do much damage to the 3 nuclear sites and at best perhaps set Iran back only months if that.

There was an internal immediate damage assessment, a preliminary one by the Pentagon that indicated that the Iran nuclear program wasn't really damaged at all and that they would be back in business within weeks or months, and You and another here were apparently giddy with excitement that you would be able to douse cold water all over the mission and imply that it was an utter failure that just wasted money.

Now the reports are that this preliminary damage assessment was leaked as always by someone disenchanted with Trump and so whomever did criminally leak it, is most likely in the same frame of mindset as You and another here.  They have a beef with the administration and so they leaked ONLY the portion of the damage assessment that they wanted the Press to have.  

Instead of letting the press know that the initial assessment indicated that the Iranian Nuclear program was set back months or perhaps years, the press ran with their assertion that this really didn't have much of an effect on their ability to move towards a nuclear bomb.  

However the one thing that this initial assessment did indicate was that the intelligence and the report itself had a low probability of being an accurate assessment. 

Did your leftist press report that?  No, of course not.  They are filled with as much hatred for Donald Trump as You and other leftists are. 

Then again, isn't that the way you operate, cheering against the USA always when Trump is in office?  You cannot give this President credit for anything of course because of your massive TDS.

All I can say is that I'm cheering for my nation from the rooftops in the war against evil, while you are putting your best foot forward to try and show that this operation was a massive failure.  

Not one hair on one head of our military men and women was harmed and that is a great thing!   

I'll stick with my support for the USA and this fantastic military that we have, while You and your ilk are free to denigrate it and the results of all military operations that prove successful.

Vietnam for example, placed 90% tariffs on our goods prior to Trump threatening or actually installing tariffs on goods from other nations.

And your Austin Goolsby, the Chairman of the Kansas City Fed changed his tune on tariffs after seeing the results.

BTW Einstein, what happened to Your absurd predictions that we would be in a recession now??  

I guess that is simply another instance where You are wrong.  Gosh it sure happens a great deal of the time with you lately doesn't it?

Oh, I guess that when you were saying just recently that Jerome Powell was a f'in idiot, now you're changing your tune on him and he's some smart cookie?

Do you realize just how stupid you look now when YOU claimed that the tariffs were going to cause all kinds of inflation?

Where's the inflation you predicted was going to occur with the tariffs?

The inflation rate is well below the target that the Feds want to see, which is 2%.

So YOU were also wrong about the tariffs causing massive inflation.

Gee, another economic metric in which YOUR failed prediction reared its head. 

Could you possibly fail on more issues than you already have?

I mean could we possibly Pile on any more failures coming from the fat mouth of our resident communist Rod Kaufman?

Are there any MORE predictions that we can count on coming out of your communist mouth? 

Just curious.

"An hour prior, Community Hospital in McCook, Neb., announced its closure."

"A total of 760 hospitals are at risk of closure nationwide, according to Becker’s Hospital Review."

1. "America First" may sound patriotic, but it has deep historical associations with nativism and isolationism. It is undoubtedly a dog whistle to signal a hard-line nationalist worldview.
2. Trump frequently describes immigrants using dehumanizing terms like "animals," "invaders," or even worse, which serve to justify extreme policies and harden public sentiment against them.
3. Trump and MAGA often portray LGBTQ+ individuals as threats to children or American values, which fuels moral panic and leads to book bans, restrictions on speech, and rollbacks of rights.
4. Trump and MAGA demonize political opponents and the press as enemies of the people or subversives, not simply as rivals in a democratic process but as existential threats.
5. Trump's embrace of authoritarian imagery, from military parades to praise for strongman leaders, has become increasingly normalized in some corners of the right, reinforcing a vision of power over pluralism.
