This isn't remotely true. The vast majority of Republicans in Congress fully supported Obama sending troops to Texas in 2010, including Governor Rick Scott. Meanwhile, Obama criticized Governor Tim Abbott for doing the same in 2025.
Now, show me where the DOJ is bringing charges for free speech. I'll be waiting.
Fact is, your party is 100% against Obama's actions. Y'all are nothing but hypocrites.

You do know, none of this is true. Trump purchased nothing. He has no control over the trusts decisions, only to hire and fire them like every American.
Straight from NPR.
Investment decisions for Donald Trump’s revocable trust are managed by independent, third-party financial institutions. According to statements from the Trump Organization, these brokerages have sole and exclusive authority over asset allocation, trading, and portfolio rebalancing through automated, model-based strategies.
Trump's revocable trust is managed by his sons, Don Jr and Eric, along with other Trump organization executives.
Trump sees the far bigger picture. We have been handed our *** on tariffs for over 50 years, to the point, U.S. companies cannot compete. Furthermore, inflation is below 10 and 50 year averages. Regarding Iran, that can has been kicked down the road for almost 50 years. He isn't Neville Chamberlain like the Dems have been regarding Iran.
The entire world sat back and watched Hitler rebuild Germany after WWI and did nothing. Meanwhile, King Edward VIII abdicated his throne, and a year later toured Germany and met with Hitler. Many historians believe he was actively collaborating with Hitler. We know this from documents which have been discovered regarding his relationship with Hitler.
'To the Führer and [Chancellor], the Duchess of Windsor and I would like to thank you sincerely. Our trip through Germany has made a great impression on us. Many thanks to you.
In a taped statement that was to be broadcast to all of GB, the former king stated,
"He said Britain should be doing all in its power to come to terms with Nazi Germany," That was in 1939. The BBC refused to air it.
GB was already on the brink of war with Germany. Edward, like Chamberlain chose to appease Hitler, and do nothing.
Trump has not been that ignorant or stupid. He saw the same threat the entire world has seen for decades and decided to end the threat. He did. Problem is, people are mostly short term thinkers and only worry about gas prices for 3 freekin months.
There are no troops on the ground, nor will there be. We destroyed all of their nuclear capability, which was already at 60% enriched uranium. It takes about 1-2 weeks to take 60% enriched uranium and make it into a nuclear weapon, and takes days to enrich to 90%. They already have the missle systems to deliver said weapon. At most, it would take Iran a few months at best to convert uranium gas into metal, and build the warhead. Furthermore, and this is what most political folks do not understand. Iran, with its 60% enriched uranium can use that as it is already weapons grade. Folks seriously need to study up before they post nonsense like Iran is not a nuclear threat. They clearly are, and would definitely use it on Israel and their neighbors, just like Germany was using V2's, the Me 262 jet plane, and the Me 163. If they had the resources available, and realized the importance of graphite, vs thinking they need massive amounts of enriched uranium, and put the proper resources into the program, Nazi Germany could have had a bomb within 2-4 years. Iran has been working on this for over 3 decades.
I'm guessing that's why Governor Scott ordered the Texas NG to monitor the exercises... yeah, b/c he was fully supportive:
Hysteria over Jade Helm exercise in Texas was fueled by Russians, former CIA director says
Gov. Greg Abbott's decision in 2015 to ask the Texas State Guard to monitor a federal military exercise prompted significant criticism. A former CIA director said Wednesday that the move emboldened Russians to next target elections.

Here's 6 on the free speech. The unlawful orders congressmen where charged by the DoJ. Fortunately, the former FoxNews host is the DA in Washington, DC and couldn't even get a Grand Jury to vote for her:
Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video
President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

Lmao. Gas reached a record high of $5.02/gal in June of 2022. Record high price in California was $8.00/gal in Mono county California under Biden.
Lmao, sure you could. You haven't lost a single freedom. You're just making up bullsh-t. What a drama Queen.
You do realize, France was checking health passes on the street during Covid. NYC, and 9 other cities required vaccination papers to enter establishments. No one has checked your papers for jack sh&t. Liar.
Of course not, because you're a drama queen liar. There's no if, it never happened, and is never going to happen. Jesus, grow a pair. You have absolutely no proof to back up your pathetic lies.
Lmao. Every one of the 50 U.S. states have approved the morning after pill, drama queen. Lmao.
So neither of those are what were stated in the post he replied to?
Exactly like beta males competing and supporting males in women's sports. Then lying, and specifically stating, it's no big deal and affects no one. Meanwhile, it went all the way to the SCOTUS. But hey, it doesn't matter. Lmao at the amount of lies libs state for their beta male causes.
Their compassion is only based on how it helps their party. They've proven it time and again. They are about 2 things, power and control. It's precisely why they support Iran, and we have gays for Gaza, Palestine, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
I tried pointing that out a couple of months ago....some on here just won't accept it...
Lmao. Biden wanted $2- $3 trillion more in spending. Get real. Without Manchin, which Biden lied to, and Sinema, inflation would have been out of this world. Even Harvard agrees.
Joe Manchin says he cannot support Biden's Build Back Better plan : NPR https://share.google/TDdBWxSna9xvszRv2
Lmao. Y'all will do anything to defend Biden, the coward, who did not serve.
It is handled by a 3rd party you ignorant fool.
Cool, he was responded to someone not posting facts. Glad you agreed with the poster you responded to.
You can read it here, my guy.
Donald Trump's revocable trust is managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. He serves as the trustee with sole voting and investment power over the securities and assets held within the trust.
When the trust was originally established, management was shared with longtime Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg, but Donald Trump Jr. has since taken on the sole trustee position for managing these assets.
NBC article from unnamed sources. Assume they did go to the grand jury. Its in DC where 97% are registered democrats with a lot of them affected by the ongoing govt downsizing. Colr me unimpressed.I'm guessing that's why Governor Scott ordered the Texas NG to monitor the exercises... yeah, b/c he was fully supportive:

LOL
Nothing you said disproved anything I said. The inflation rate increased 1600% in 2020. That inflation spike was coming even if Dozy Don managed to steal the 2020 election. Note the steady decline after it hit the peak inflation.
"Lmao. Y'all will do anything to defend Biden, the coward, who did not serve."
LOL really? You want to go there?
Gas was around $3 in 2024. What is it now? "but that one week in 2022....."
lol
Trump was elected, **** got worse. Inflation up, prices up, more wars.
That's the simple version for you.
What's not to accept? It hit that peak for about a week and then fell steadily. That is factual.
Is gas more now than in 2024? That's the issue. MAGA wants to compare to a week in 2022.
Ahh yes the 49-48 landslide victory. Agreed that the narrative of the election was that Trump could save us from high prices and wars.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe that the party responsible for 10 out of the last 11 recessions, that generally is in charge during times of declines (vs recovery), and consistently delivers measurably inferior economic results was going to "fix" the economy. Really??
Republicans did a good job convincing enough people that the problems were all Biden's fault and that Trump was the solution.
How is that working out?
Also, the left doesn't want communism. lol narratives
We accept it, but we're not brainwashed for not knowing that it was almost entirely on Trump for getting OPEC to cut production
There has been no recession under Trump (Some will claim there was, if it was it was literally the shortest recession ever at 2 months).Ahh yes the 49-48 landslide victory. Agreed that the narrative of the election was that Trump could save us from high prices and wars.

Trumps return during his first term (65%) was much better than Biden and better than the average democratic return for previous presidents. In other words, your statisics refute your own arguments.'
By all means the economy is doing well. Inflation is still too high, and it looks like that will be down next print when lower oil and gas prices are reflected in the number. Housing prices are already down year over year and often have a lag time to showing up in the official data. So i expect the downward trend in housing to continue. Plenty of jobs out there, so we are good on the jobs front. Long story short, the economy is in good shape and everything is trending in the right direction. The stock market is sitting 1-2% off all time highs. So, id say it is working out nicely.
And while you may not want communism, your party keeps electing communists.
By what metrics? All time high stock markets?
| President | Term Examined | Approximate Dow Gain |
|---|---|---|
| Bill Clinton (George Bush save us!! OMG!) | 1993–2001 (8 years) | ~+229% |
| Barack Obama (Trump save us!! OMG!!) | 2009–2017 (8 years) | ~+148% |
| Donald Trump (2nd term so far) | Jan 2025 – Jun 2026 | ~+17.5% |
| Donald Trump (1st term) | 2017–2021 (4 years) | ~+57% |
Do you want me to list the years where we had all time high stock markets? It's very rare.
Funny how the old white man was an even bigger problem for the dems than the black lady then
the cope is strong. It MUST be racism!!!
F*cking socialism. Our government dollars have no business in that game, even if profitable.
Did you vote for Mamdani or something?
I agree with you. It does seem as if both parties are headed in the direction of corporate ownership - should make future votes on raising corporate taxes interesting - and/or sovereign wealth funds.
I would prefer it if we would get our own financial health under control before we move off into the corporate world. Trump might crow now about gains, but he needs to understand that equity prices also go down.
Plus we inadvertently determine winners and losers. Intel got capital to fund development, maybe there was a better option in the market from Nvidia or some startup that now won’t see the light of day. Government is NEVER as efficient as the free market at picking winners and losers. That’s why I abhor these types of investments.
I feel the same about government no bid contracts. I feel the same about elected officials having active investments in the market (and vice versa with companies being able to make unlimited donations to politicians). Let the free market do its thing.
I also agree on no bid contracts, although there are some good reasons for some....
If I read correctly, the Supreme court just made a decision allowing unlimited donations to party organizations like the DNC, RNC who in turn take that money and pass it to individual campaigns. There's way too much money in our system
The Citizens United ruling was the worst thing to ever come out of the SCOTUS.
