It's amazing how easy trump can be played through the media...which is why Russia/China/North Korea all have him in their back pocket.
Glad you got your boy in the white house shecky. He'll do you proud. LOL
He's so easily manipulated... there's a reason why America's enemies love having him in office.
So, you must also believe that the American public is " so easily manipulated", seeing as President Trump has been elected twice.
Not everyone, but definitely the majority of trump voters... they're getting played like fiddles.
So, if the Dems are so intelligent, why did they pull a coup on Biden and install Kammie as their candidate? And, why didn't she win?
Multiple people have already told you that millions of Americans like yourself are easily manipulated.
So, your belief is that Dems are so intellectually superior that they couldn't be manipulated into voting for Kammie. Their common sense told them that she was grossly unqualified to be president. So, many Dems voted for Trump instead. That sounds logical. We agree!
Why do you think many dems voted for Trump?
Do you still think Trump will lower prices?
You're not making much sense here, ol sheck...
Avoiding my questions is what led you, and other magas here, to voting for a man who's policies will result in higher inflation in the first place.
My, you certainly think highly of yourself! YOU caused me and others to vote for President Trump? Ha ha ha! Actually, I've had you on "ignore" for quite some time, and don't even see your comments. Occasionally, I allow you to come out and play.
Care to weigh in on Elon's behavior this week? Do you think it's OK that an unelected foreign national is using his financial might to influence our democratically elected officials? Don't even try to refute it, because that's what happened. A bipartisan bill was killed because Elon promised to fund the opposition of any R who voted yes. Please explain to me whether you think that's OK in this country.
Nice profile pic btw. Cult shit
He doesn’t answer factual questions? Many have tried
Yeah no response of course. [name-callling removed by admin. Please see Posting Guidelines.]

Black men opted for Trump by about 21%, while black women backed him at 7%, with 12% of black supporters voting for him overall — up from 8% eight years prior, according to Edison Research.
For black men who shifted to Trump, the change was the culmination of growing dismay over Democrats’ attitude toward them, a rebellion against being pigeon-holed politically due to their race, and broadly warming up to GOP policies.
There was also a lingering sense that Trump was someone with whom they could relate.
“By the president getting that mug shot, he was able to see through a black man’s eyes,” Duke Tanner, a former undefeated professional boxer whom Trump granted clemency, told The Post.
“He was able to really see through a black man’s eyes at what we go through and [have] been going through for years.”
Tanner was arrested at the age of 24 for a drug conspiracy for which he was later convicted and sentenced to life behind bars, a stint that kept him away from his son. He has since penned a book on his journey.
“My son didn’t want to learn how to ride a bike because I wasn’t there to teach him. He wanted me to teach him how to ride a bike — not his uncle, not his grandpa,” Tanner recalled.
But just over four years ago, Trump intervened and “saved the day,” Tanner recounted. He also credited Trump for helping others in a similar situation by signing the First Step Act, which was aimed at reducing certain federal sentences and reforming the prison system.
Prior to Trump’s presidency, Tanner surmised that he probably would’ve identified more with the Democrats, but he was impressed with the soon-to-be 47th president’s policies.
“As a black person, no matter what, you [were] taught from [when you were] a kid that you were a Democrat,” he reflected.
If Vice President Kamala Harris had prevailed in the election, she would’ve been the first black female president to win the White House and the second black president overall.
She had largely steered clear of harping excessively on identity politics and carefully navigated questions about polling data suggesting that she was hemorrhaging support from black males. She also rolled out a suite of policies aimed at courting them, including legalizing marijuana.
“It’s very important to not operate from the assumption that black men are in anybody’s pocket,” Harris said during a National Association of Black Journalists panel in September.
That sentiment about black voters being expected to be Democrats is something that hits home with a lot of black conservatives.
“I grew up being told that if you’re black you’re a Democrat,” former NFL player Jack Brewer told The Post. “I was told that only rich people and racists vote Republican.”
“When I supported Trump back in 2016, I lost friends. I had family members stop talking to me. But now these same black people are calling me in 2024 saying, you know, I think you were on to something.”
Brewer, who helms the eponymous Jack Brewer Foundation, also posited that there has been a growing segment of “black men who reject the soft liberalism of figures like Barack and Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris and other left-leaning Democrats who aim to feminize our children and our culture.”
The shift among black men coincides with a broader gender gap across racial lines.
Harris scored 53% of women compared to 45% who went for Trump, per Edison Research. Meanwhile, the president-elect nabbed 55% of men compared to Harris’ 42%.
Trump also won a majority of Latino male voters (54%), per the poll.
“When it came to our children, black men went into protection mode. We had daughters, and we weren’t about to let men compete against them in sports or enter their restrooms. God called us to protect our families, and that’s exactly what we did,” former NFL player Frank Murphy told The Post.
“Black men stepped back from the noise, studied the policies, and chose to stand up for our women and daughters by voting for Trump,” Murphy, who also chairs Athletes for America at the American First Policy Institute, added.
On the campaign trail, former President Barack Obama was caught on video grousing about Harris’ shortcomings among the “brothers” and pondered if they “just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.”
His wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, had also begged men to “take our lives seriously.”
“I believe that they were trying to use the guilt trip, and they wanted to pull the race card. But this isn’t about that,” Tanner said of the Obamas’ comments.
T.W. Shannon, the 2024 campaign adviser to Black Men for Trump and Oklahoma’s first African-American speaker of the House, assessed that black voters were a critical pillar of the so-called “Blue Wall” states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that went for Trump on Tuesday.
“Donald Trump alone gets the credit for going after the black vote like no other Republican. He was honest, offered a real plan, had a record of success his first term, and most importantly was authentic with the community — none of which Kamala could deliver on,” Shannon explained.
“In contrast, Harris showed up at black churches in typical Democrat fashion two weeks before the election, and the only plan she had was abortion on demand for black women and weed shops for black men.”
As the election postmortems roll in, prominent Democrats are trying to figure out how they lost ground with minority male voters.
“I am going to state the obvious here: vilifying voters of color as white supremacists will not attract them back to the Democratic Party. It will drive them further into Trump’s camp,” Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) wrote on X.
“The purpose of politics is not to repel but to attract. Condescension is the most powerful repellant in politics. Voters viscerally resent condescension and will punish you for it at the ballot box.”
During the Obama era, some Democratic operatives had felt bullish that demographic destiny could help ensure long-term political dominance as the party seems to have a toehold on minority voters.
Now Republicans are hoping they can continue making inroads with working-class minority voters.
If there was appeal across racial lines with Trump, then there wouldn’t be the gender gap in the voting

Pretty funny how MAGAs are so desperately eager to make their coup look like hot shit when it's obvious they were sold a bill of good on a pigeon coop and a load of bird shit. The price of their egregious error is going to be harsh, the repercussions long lasting, and potential recovery from this foolishness long and arduous. Will America have what it takes to rise to greatness again? We won't know for several years now.
You guys should read this interview with Steve Bannon about how he views populism and the next administration. He knows there is a coming battle within the party between Capital and populism. I think he is deluding himself (or us) if he thinks Trump and Musk are going to raise corporate taxes and soak the rich. It’s an interesting read though.
This really got me to scratching my head: "If you look at Trump as a historic figure, as I do — Washington, Lincoln
and Trump, right? — then this is the age of Trump, and Trump is a
personification and manifestation of deeper forces in the world and in
the United States."
I was thing more like: Moe, Larry, Curly, and Trump. Only Moe, Larry, and Curly in real life were actually really sweet people.
"Pretty cookies, heart squares all around, yeah!" -Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
Donald Trump will not be president of the United States for another month, at least not literally. Yet, his recent victory in the battle of the budget shows that, for all intents and purposes, he is already the nation’s leader, and not a moment too soon.
In the space of just a few days, Trump’s pressure on the Congress, including siccing his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attack dogs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on reckless spending, turned a 1,500 page monstrosity of a bill into a slim 120-page banger of basic necessities, including disaster relief and help for farmers.
Prior to the intervention by Trump, it looked for all the world like House Speaker Mike Johnson would stuff the Democrats’ stockings with pork and goodies to ensure that a shutdown did not mar next month’s inauguration.
Johnson believed that enough Republicans would simply sigh and go along with the continuing resolution that he negotiated with the Democrats, and there was some logic to allowing sleeping dogs to lie until Trump takes over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and Republicans take the senate in January.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the bill’s passage. At Trump’s behest, Musk and Ramaswamy began posting on X all the deep flaws of the legislation, and there were some doozies.
The bill also contained a self-serving pay hike for lawmakers, as well as billions to be spent on pet projects all over the country.
Within hours of the torrent of posts from the dynamic duo of DOGE, the American people began to wake up to what was in the bill and object. A trickle of GOP lawmakers flipped from yes to no on the bill, and with that, the stage was set for our soon-to-be commander in chief.
With the target softened, Trump tore into the bill, going so far as to threaten lawmakers who voted for it with primary challenges. Trump even indicated that Johnson’s speakership could be in doubt if he did not get in line.
And that was it. Ding dong the bill was dead, and the American people dodged, or should we say, "Doged," a bullet. By Friday night, the cleaner and leaner bill passed the House and a shutdown was averted.
Guess who played no role whatsoever in getting all of this done? That’s right, Joe Biden. You remember him, he’s the president of the United States, or at least that’s what it says on his business cards.
You would have an easier time finding Waldo in a candy cane factory than finding Grandpa Joe’s fingerprints anywhere on this historic deal.
Former GOP Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich knows a thing or two about how the congressional sausage gets made, and here is what he had to say on X:
"Shrinking the continuing resolution from 1,547 pages to 118 pages is a major victory for President Trump and shows that the election did matter and he is really the de facto President while President Biden was absent and passive. A good start to real change in Washington!"
It was fascinating how people all week tried to paint the budget mess as Republicans in disarray with House members defying Trump and looming trouble between Trump and Musk. Yet, when the dust settled, we had shed 1,400 pages of blundering B.S. with nary a peep from Biden.
Trump’s first term as president, though a success in many ways, was marred by Democrats’ incessant and absurd investigations into nothing, but also, in fairness, by a bit of naïveté from Trump himself.
Trump was new to Washington and its mendacious machinations in 2017, but not anymore. Today, like a seasoned veteran, he is not only poised to lead the nation, let’s face it, he is already doing it.
Make no mistake, this fight was a risk. A shutdown could have blunted the sweeping sense of optimism across America after the election. But with risk comes reward and today, having slayed the dragon of out-of-control spending, that optimism is only set to grow.
That is what leaders do, they take risks to make life better, and they show up and explain themselves. We haven’t had that kind of leadership in four long years.
Since Jan. 20, 2021, nobody has been very clear about who is actually running the country. Well, that is about to change. On Jan. 20 of next year, there will be no doubt, the country will be led squarely by Donald J. Trump. That is, if it isn’t already.

It's tough hanging out here and seeing all of these bad words. "Creaming" in particular may have wrecked my day, I'm not sure.
I can't speak for everyone regarding Happy New Year. So you should probably just play it safe and not say anything, ever, to anyone.

Using the word "attack" when I'm just concerned about you reading something that may harm you is truly an attack on me. This is an all-ages forum and you should really be cautious about how you talk to people. Happy Holidays. You don't know whether I'm Christian or not. That was perilously close to a micro-aggression.
Wow. Well, someone is obviously triggered by the mornings conversation. Is everything ok? Happy New Year, how about that? Everybody celebrates the New Year, correct?

It's tough hanging out here and seeing all of these bad words. "Creaming" in particular may have wrecked my day, I'm not sure.
I can't speak for everyone regarding Happy New Year. So you should probably just play it safe and not say anything, ever, to anyone.
Yes, sir. Command taken.
Then maybe you should stop trying to speak for everyone? I don't know...

-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
Donald Trump will not be president of the United States for another month, at least not literally. Yet, his recent victory in the battle of the budget shows that, for all intents and purposes, he is already the nation’s leader, and not a moment too soon.
In the space of just a few days, Trump’s pressure on the Congress, including siccing his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attack dogs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on reckless spending, turned a 1,500 page monstrosity of a bill into a slim 120-page banger of basic necessities, including disaster relief and help for farmers.
Prior to the intervention by Trump, it looked for all the world like House Speaker Mike Johnson would stuff the Democrats’ stockings with pork and goodies to ensure that a shutdown did not mar next month’s inauguration.
Johnson believed that enough Republicans would simply sigh and go along with the continuing resolution that he negotiated with the Democrats, and there was some logic to allowing sleeping dogs to lie until Trump takes over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and Republicans take the senate in January.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the bill’s passage. At Trump’s behest, Musk and Ramaswamy began posting on X all the deep flaws of the legislation, and there were some doozies.
For example, the bill had continued funding for the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, an organization that seems to exist only to promote online censorship of conservatives under the guise of fighting so-called misinformation.
The bill also contained a self-serving pay hike for lawmakers, as well as billions to be spent on pet projects all over the country.
Within hours of the torrent of posts from the dynamic duo of DOGE, the American people began to wake up to what was in the bill and object. A trickle of GOP lawmakers flipped from yes to no on the bill, and with that, the stage was set for our soon-to-be commander in chief.
With the target softened, Trump tore into the bill, going so far as to threaten lawmakers who voted for it with primary challenges. Trump even indicated that Johnson’s speakership could be in doubt if he did not get in line.
And that was it. Ding dong the bill was dead, and the American people dodged, or should we say, "Doged," a bullet. By Friday night, the cleaner and leaner bill passed the House and a shutdown was averted.
You would have an easier time finding Waldo in a candy cane factory than finding Grandpa Joe’s fingerprints anywhere on this historic deal.
Former GOP Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich knows a thing or two about how the congressional sausage gets made, and here is what he had to say on X:
"Shrinking the continuing resolution from 1,547 pages to 118 pages is a major victory for President Trump and shows that the election did matter and he is really the de facto President while President Biden was absent and passive. A good start to real change in Washington!"
It was fascinating how people all week tried to paint the budget mess as Republicans in disarray with House members defying Trump and looming trouble between Trump and Musk. Yet, when the dust settled, we had shed 1,400 pages of blundering B.S. with nary a peep from Biden.
Trump’s first term as president, though a success in many ways, was marred by Democrats’ incessant and absurd investigations into nothing, but also, in fairness, by a bit of naïveté from Trump himself.
Trump was new to Washington and its mendacious machinations in 2017, but not anymore. Today, like a seasoned veteran, he is not only poised to lead the nation, let’s face it, he is already doing it.
Make no mistake, this fight was a risk. A shutdown could have blunted the sweeping sense of optimism across America after the election. But with risk comes reward and today, having slayed the dragon of out-of-control spending, that optimism is only set to grow.
That is what leaders do, they take risks to make life better, and they show up and explain themselves. We haven’t had that kind of leadership in four long years.
Since Jan. 20, 2021, nobody has been very clear about who is actually running the country. Well, that is about to change. On Jan. 20 of next year, there will be no doubt, the country will be led squarely by Donald J. Trump. That is, if it isn’t already.
