One of the least things people talk about is when Trump was elected the BUDGET FOR HIS FIRST YEAR was Biden’s budget

NOT HIS BUDGET

WE ARE NOW SEEING THE RESULTS OF THE TRUMP BUDGET
I don’t know how anyone who claims to be a serious poster could type something so stupid.

And “THE RESULTS OF THE TRUMP BUDGET” (I can only assume you mean FY 2026) puts the borrowing at roughly $1.2 trillion so far with a projected total deficit of about $2 trillion for FY 2026.

Is that your idea of winning?

I also am not sure I like the Reflection Pool work as I am thinking we needed to install UV filters along with more salt based recirculating chlorinators


Also I don’t like that the paint came up in sheets

There is a granular ceramic paint typically used in garages I like that is harder than a knife

Think painting with the traffic it gets as a bad choice. So Trump may lose me on that one too
Lol. That is where you want to quibble with Trump?

This is pure comedy.

Btw, you should really look into the Dunning-Kruger study.

Comical, isn’t it?

Apparently, Trump had nothing to do with spending or revenue in FY 2025. Nothing. 😝

Very short memory that Biden drove the entire US to gas rices over $5 approaching $6 with some hitting $10
Jesus Christ. No, he did not. Why do you ‘tards continue to parrot this nonsense?

But that is nostalgia and the good ole days along with

BIDEN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. or BDS
At least you are getting closer to the original BDS acronym (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

Tell us about the freedoms you've lost
Absolutely. I could be walking down the street and masked men in unmarked cars can pull up and demand that I prove my US citizenship (Papers Please!). If I can't they can put me in that car and take me to an undisclosed location (that's whereever they want) w/o arresting me. No due process, no evidence of wrongdoing. Just ICE policy. How's that? Or does it not count when it's only brown people?

Of course not, I'm lilly white, hence the "only matter when you are brown part" in my above post . But you are talking about freedoms lost right? That's certainly something that's happening. What about being a political oppenent of Trump and having the DoJ investigating you without probable cause. People born on US soil are citizens by law. Trump issued an executive order saying that doesn't apply. What about where the constitution says every person (not citizen) is entitled to due process? Trump and company are deporting people w/o any due process.

If you are expecting, in many states Drs have to be able to prove that the mother's life would be lost before terminating pregnacy. In my home state of Idaho, it's against the law to even provide phone numbers for healthcare providers that provide abortions (even in places where it's illegal). It's also a crime to assist someone to leave the state to have an abortion (even in a state where it's legal).

first of all, what your're referreing to in Idaho is state issue, not federal, correct?

It wasn't me asking the question about freedoms being lost. I was just piling on :). see, I live in Florida, and I just don't see, nor have I seen on TV or read in the papers about gestapo like, masked agents roving the streets arresting brown people....and we're a red state that cooperates with ICE. Now, I'm not saying it doesn't or hasn't happened, I just think you guys are overblowing it. But, as I've posted on here, I'm a stay within the lines guy..if you're in the country illegally than you shouldn't be surprised if ICE shows up at your door, place of work or walking down the street.

I'm not in favor of this tit for that, lawfare. it doesn't make sense to me. Seems as if everybody would be better off just following the laws....I'm all in favor of due process. But I know for a fact that police detain people, white, black or brown while they are investigating. That doesn't mean due process is lost. Are mistakes made, sure they are..we have examples of people on death row being released because mistakes were made. I can't imagine a world where in the immigration sphere where mistakes aren't being made.

This is going on in a LOT of states and it's dependent on Federal Judges in local juristictions making rulings that apply to the nation at large. A more publically relevant one is locally banning the morning after pills and applying that to the entire country. You didn't see this shiit pre Trump.

I have NO PROBLEM with arresting, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. I do have a problem with them not getting due process. I don't have a problem with ICE arresting protesters getting in their way when they are doing their jobs of finding illegals. I do have a problem ICE shooting protestors. And I have a HUGE problem with government officials lying about it.

As a general rule, I support the police unless there's convincing reason not to.

I'd bet 99.9% of Americans are totally on board with not shooting protestors.

There are about 30 homes on my street. One family is Russian, one is from India, one is black Hispanic, and two are black Americans. Nothing like that has ever happened. I suspect things would be different if we lived in a lower income community with lots of crime and ICE agents identified you as someone who ignored deportation orders after asylum was denied.

I'd venture to say the majority of Atheists, Budhists, Agnostics, Muslims, Scientologist, etc. would want to see these poor children rescued.
I hope so, but the poster's point was that CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE COMMON SENSE AMERICA IS WINNING...

That this massive humanitarian crime against immigrant children was enabled by liberals in the Biden admin, and has now been stopped and efforts are to find the endangered children, shows the impact of Christian conservatives in the Trump admin.

I would say that first Zi am against shooting non violent protesters

Once someone in the crowd pulls a gun or commences with violent attempts to injure people then lethal force has its place

I would disagree with the 99% of people would not support shooting non violent protesters

Charlie Kirk was a non violent protester and he was shoot and there were people everywhere across the country aligning with the killing including people on this site

More like 75% of people people don’t believe in violence

I based on my personal observations believe that of that 25% that 90% of those liking violence support violence against Christians, Jews, MAGA , Trump, Republicans , Conservatives, ETC

Biden with his policies had like 450,000 children spread across America as child laborers and for sex trafficking

Then I see liberals and Democrats complaining about a few children in so called cages that Obama used to house children

A sane reasonable person understands what is worse.

Some on here don’t

I can think any child’s suffering is horrible and yet not think that this administrations policies, actions, rhetoric etc have any Christian compassion at heart.

I’ve notice you always talk about compassion and concern for human suffering; but you are never concerned with compassion for Americans. What about compassion for the people whose community is devastated by immigration? What about compassion for the citizens forced to live in violence in America? What about compassion for the victims of rape gangs.

I’m for the El Salvadorian Bukele’s camp. Lock up the people who can’t behave. That is true compassion.


You seem to care about compassion when it suits. There are other people on the side of your concerns too.

For a few months. Were you as critical of Biden? Oh I forgot, Biden's inflation was Trump's fault.
We understood the source of the inflation under Biden and the responsibility was shared but yes, much of it fell on Trump. Did you notice that for most of Biden's presidency, the inflation rate fell steadily after hitting that peak in 2022? It's going the wrong way now for somebody who was brought in to save us from 2.4% inflation.

Deficits:
2022 1,375
2023 1,695
2024 1,832

2025 1,850

Record DEBT (which every president has):

2022 - $30.93 trillion
2023 - $33.17 trillion
2024 - $35.46 trillion
2025 - $37.64 trillion (record high like the stock market)

DEFICITS are shortfalls in the BUDGET. DEBT is the cumulative total of all unpaid DEFICITS.

4.3% unemployment and record total payroll employment is "broken"?
No, just trending in the wrong direction for someone who was going to save us from record low 3.4% unemployment.

For the record my responses aren't pro Trump. I'm just responding to your nonsense.

Democrats lost the election, in a landslide, because of inflation and the economy. It was indisputably the #1 issue in the election .

They lost the electoral college, the popular vote, and every single swing state.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to think democrats did a good job on inflation or the economy. But IF that’s the case, Vance / Rubio will be a shoe in.

Some big cities may like communism, but the vast majority of the USA does not. And last election proved that flyover states matter.

Yep. I love a pointless and expensive war we can't win.

I love rising inflation.

I love record debt.

I love a broken jobs market.

And I love the president treating America like his own personal credit card to max out at the rest of our expenses.

OP is like one of those guys who gets off by people making fun of his micro pe nis.
Lmao at your liberal ignorance. The job market is incredibly strong, it's simply highly competitive, the way it should be. Inflation is below both the 10, and 50 year average, which is 6.1% the last 40 years. Why didn't you say anything during the disaster which was the Biden administration? Study up pup.
