He’s doing the same thing to himself and his beloved Rethuglican party—a few of whom are suddenly announcing they’re “not seeking reelection.” Ain’t that something? They’re running for the hills aka running for cover.
The question is—who, among us are going to put out a welcome mat? Well, I’ll say right now—I don’t trust them, I don’t trust anyone who has tied on to the Drump wagon of lies and filth. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever! They can all pound sand!
Trump will rig the mid-terms so only MAGA fools are elected. There is no-one to stop him. How can you? He is above the law. Who would be brave enough to try to arrest him faced with his bodyguards and ICE?
@Andrew ... Once upon a time, there was a Broadway play, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Forum."
Caesar had Brutus. Jesus had Judas, the Teflon Don, John Gotti had Sammy The Bull Gravano, Indira Gandhi was offed by someone close by, The Pope died [one day] after J D Vance's visit, Mussolini thought he was safe, and Eichmann never planned on getting caught or standing trial.
Sadat attended a parade and sat with other dignitaries smack dab in the front of the viewing stand. Gaddafi never envisioned his fall from grace, the death of his two sons, and being found hiding underground--so, we can never say never.
There is a Twilight Zone episode starring the late Peter Falk entitled The Mirror. It shows a dictator slowly eroding into madness. He gazes into a mirror only to see his trusted associates plotting to unalive him. His paranoia is palpable.
This is where Frump is at this moment. Afraid, panicked, needing reassurance. He doesn't know who to trust, he cannot decide what to do about Maxwell, and he is hogtied, ensnared in the Epstein scandal. He's as good as gone. At some point, somebody is going to get triggered, and that will be that.
Just remember, he said years ago, if he ever decided to run for President, he'd run as a Rethuglican because (paraphrased) " ... They're stupid!" He's in office because of Republicans and druggie Musk. Proof there's no cure for stupid.
Hang tight. This is not going to go on unabated. MTN is in the mix and for Frumpty et al, that ain't good news. 😎
You are correct on every point. My fear is that the frog will not realize he is boiling until it is too late! I had dealings with the Frump organization 40 years ago in San Diego. He was a crook then and remains so today. It is all about him. Will a group of republicans ever stand up to him? E tu Brutis
Rethuglicans are doomed just as their cult leader is doomed. Right now, they are focusing on praising him, doing his bidding, and keeping their paychecks coming. So, no, they're not going to stand up to him and risk being relegated to the shed of no return!
What we will continue to see is people leaving their jobs in agencies where Dumpty Do Dirt has placed his unqualified stooges. They are discovering that people are reluctant to take orders from them! Others are announcing they're not running for reelection.
They're just now realizing they're trapped, so they're running for their very lives. Won't matter. No one aligned with this regime will ever be able to wash away the stench of their actions. When they fear going to their offices or fear going to their homes, it will be a day of reckoning on a major scale.
The problem MAGATS have is that once they're removed from the cult of Dump, they have nowhere to go. They can't run to Musk, who found out PDQ that nobody gave two sh*ts about his threat to "start a third party" after he desecrated the jobs of multitudes of government workers for [no] cause.
He's no better off than his orange buddy. No one trusts either of them and nobody was stupid enough to join up with his proposed new party to oppose his ex-buddy. So, that idea evaporated fairly early on. Both of them are "stupid and weak" and both of them are headed for destruction. The MTN Resistance is here to stay.
Please plan to join us in FLOODING THE STREETS of DC beginning Nov 5 and peaceful protesting until Trump is forced to leave office. This will take millions of US!
It's the one year anniversary of the election. And it gives us time to organize, spread the word, get more people involved. RefuseFascism.org has chapters in several cities including DC and they have been organizing peaceful protests and marches in DC for months. Including on "No Kings Day" when other orgs avoided DC.
A day of infamy for sure. Wonder what Project 2025 thinks of MTN and the Meidas Mighty now? Shocked, surprised, and frustrated is my thought. They never expected their PINO to cause as much trouble as he continues his face-first slide into full-on onset of irreversible dementia. Good
As a life long Democrat I do not feel a bit guilty saying the party is a major disappointment with the exception of a few. I get dozens of fundraising requests and I will not give a penny more until Shumer is ousted.
My thoughts exactly. I am neither Dem or Repub. Many of us exist where neither party speaks for us. Being independent means, we have to vote for the least of evils. Pretty empty and it sucks.
Dems pretend to champion the poor by having someone else pay for it. Repubs are country club rich that have united with the same ones they look down for their votes. The expression "Guns, God and Gays" seems to be a working combination.
A house divided shall not stand. A good start is to clean house, term limits for all. No balanced budget, you cannot get re-elected. Thanks Warren Buffet.
Various politicians have been saying these things for years but nothing happens. The only change that seems to happen is typically in the wrong direction.
Biden got the ball rolling on clean energy and Obama moved the ball on health care. Now, they’re wrecking it and the Dems are staying relatively silent. I do give credit to the few who are speaking out but we need a unified party.
He ain't the problem. Being "nice" is and failing to loudly demonstrate a unified front has been the problem which, thankfully, is in the process of reversing. It's more than about dang time!
He cannot help himself. Imagine being on his staff, constantly putting out fires. His cabinet is a conglomerate of undesirables--criminals, rapists, adulterers, liars, con artists, and all-around losers. What are they going to do about the significant departures from the FBI and the DOJ? They are in positions of leadership with less and less people to lord over. Everything connected to Dumpty dies. Everything. Good.
You're right, of course. Now that a few of them have announced they're not running for reelection, what is to become of them? Not that I care, mind you. They are abandoning ship with the hope of disappearing back into private life. That in and of itself is dang near an impossibility due to their activities connected to Dumpty and his criminal enterprise. Good.
Everybody hates his tariffs. You know that. Could you please describe trump more accurately, like Vile, Disgusting, Rapist, Conman, Grifter, Perpetual Permanent Liar, Psychopath, Psychotic Dictator, Insurrectionist, Felon, Delusional, Feelings of Godlike Grandeur, Dementia Ridden, Narcissistic Asshole, who only Loves Himself to the Point of Killing the US Citizens by Withholding Their Medication and Benefits, Rights, and Freedoms. He is filling the cities with Gestapo-like Military who have Weapons and will Shoot to Kill Anybody.
He is drowning in scandal, and his health is failing. We're watching the undoing of everything he and Project 2025 planned. Must be a nightmare for Nazi Miller and pals.
Just another week in Trumpistan. Ballot box? There ain't gonna be no stuffing ballot boxes. No elections...no ballot box. Naivete or false optimism call it whatever you want this asshole is serious . He is a small petty desperate man. He and his entire administration have committed serious crimes and will be prosecuted if they lose power. They will stop at nothing to see that doesn't happen. You all will see. I really at this point see nothing tangible that will stop the fascist bulldozer. The billionaires want this have always wanted this and they always get what they want. This is why things are the way they are. Hopefully I'm wrong but false hope is worse than no hope.
Trump's economics are as sick as he is, mentally and now apparently increasingly physically.
Anybody who has a brain, Trump and his acolytes excepted, know import taxes/tariffs put prices up. It is the importers and consumers who pay.
Any suggestion that home production is best, only applies if there are factories existing to manufacture goods and at a competitive price.
For instance, the USA car industry is in such a bad way, it cannot meet demand and especially not for smaller, economical cars. Such demand can only be met by imports.
What's happening was always going to be the case with Trump at the helm.
I cannot believe that there were some 70 million USA adults who could be so ignorant as to vote him into power.
They now have what they deserve. Unfortunately, so do those who didn't.
One of the not so spoken reasons we allowed manufacturing to go off shore was that kind of work is close to slavery. An educated population does not like doing repetitive mindless work. Automation has reduced a lot of that, but still relatively unchallenging. So bringing it back when other nations can still do it cheaper and faster makes no financial sense. China can build a ship in months and it takes us years.
Another reason was to share the wealth so the rest of the world gets a piece of the economic pie. Trying to turn back to clock will not work. Trump is rearranging the chairs on the Titanic and sooner than later something has to give.
He conned them, laughed in their faces, promised them he would "eliminate ... the people poisoning the blood of America," and they decided to buy everything he served up on a plate of excrement. We have the MTN Resistance today, and that was not in their plan book. Their "stupid and weak" dictator is gumming up the works. Good.
Trump has achieved everything his operator Putin asked of him without Russia firing a weapon.
He has alienated USA's allies, destroyed its economy, ensured through ridiculous tariffs that the USA cannot BUILD the weapons Ukraine needs because it cannot get, or afford, Aluminum and steel.
You have all been duped.
The USA is a third world dictatorship just like Russia and the government has precisely the same kind of aims - conquer Canada and Greenland. And with Putin's help the rest of the world is powerless to stop them.
Congratulations Americans. You have not only fucked up your own country but also every democracy in the world.
One of the best replies I have ever read. Why is there not a national movement for recall? He has no friends and seems to enjoy making enemies. Agree Putin has something on him.
Not quite. He and they didn't expect the MTN Resistance to emerge and blossom the way it has. What they've tried to achieve is frustrating them as seats are being lost to Democrats. All hope is not lost. As the White House THOT said when asked if she would be more visible alongside the creep she's married to said, "Stay tuned." We are and they are getting tuned out.
I think you are missing the fact that Trump has already achieved Putin's aims. The USA has lost its reputation which will take decades to get back. As I said elsewhere his destruction of the economy, agriculture, tourism, defence etc. have already started to happen - and tariffs have only just started to kick in. Sorry, but IT IS TOO LATE.
I am usually a sourpuss on our future. However, knowing how fickle politicians and corporations can be, the minute his pestilence is removed, they will right the ship in self-interest. All is not lost. We made it thru Covid. Our forefathers made it thru tougher times like the Spanish flu, tuberculosis, polio, WWI, WWII and the Great Depression. We are nowhere near that YET.
Democracy is not a straight line. Sometimes you have to really screwup to see the error of our ways in living color to turn it around. Most of our laws are based on the misdeeds of a few.
Not sure praying will solve this as Trump is a manmade disaster.
The Resistance is growing by leaps and bounds. It's only "too late" for those who are unwilling to stand in defiance of the regime.
Debt is the new Slavery, and the "plantation" is now fully integrated across all groups, ages, ethnicities, and religions. From the cost of medical care, dentistry, prescriptions, gasoline, property taxes, food, to electricity, the scourge of debt is upon us all. It's called equal opportunity Slavery.
The cost of living and stagnant wages have turned working people into the working poor--precisely what the elite wanted and achieved to stave off the upward mobility of what used to be middle-income workers. Economic booms are no more.
America celebrated after WWII, and hard-working people made decent wages, were valued by their employers, or had the opportunity to become business owners. That was then. This is today. It ain't the Donna Reed Show.
Slavery? It's a daily occurrence. This nation is enslaved by skyrocketing housing and other costs across the board. So, if you think you're not a slave, you do not know where you are at present, much less history.
Well said. Indebtedness and taxation is eating our hopes and dreams and marching many to bankruptcy. Rising prices and taxes force us to fuel and subsidize inflation. The country will no longer be worth defending. Russia may run on vodka, not sure American can run just on beer.
It is amazing how Trump has created both fake news and the bogeyman deep state enemy. In reality he and his cronies are the real deep state spinning lies only the uneducated can believe. Not sure what motivates his lieutenants, who should all know better.
They do know better but, their avarice is what motivates them. They’ve sold their souls to the devil. They are individually and collectively as corrupt and greedy as their cult leader. There is a price to pay for discarding one’s integrity. Decisions have consequences.
I do know that I do not live in the USA. My point is that most of the consequences of Trump's actions will take DECADES to reverse and many are irreversible. I truly wish you luck in your endeavours.
The tide is changing. MAGATS are waking up to the reality that they voted in a monster. The suffering is planned. It's part of the entire design to break the spirit of Democracy, and it's failing daily. Long live the Resistance!
Everything is on a gradient. What is crystal clear to me is totally obscure to many. Obviously, that person squatting in our White House is stark naked on so many levels it's nauseating, but people have sent him their daughters.
Well I was somewhat shocked the other day when I went to the store. Some canned good I usually buy were at least $2 higher....so I didn't buy them. Same thing in Produce. There you go.
I usually buy groceries two times a month and , mainly the same items as on social security is my only income. I'm an elderly lady.I can't afford a lot. I placed an order 3 weeks ago. And it was the usual around a 130 to $35. I placed an order a few days ago for the same exact items and imagine my shock when the bill came up as being $172 .00. I won't be buying any groceries for a while now. And by the way, I tried to apply for food stamps a while back and was turned down because they told me I needed to have a young person living with me to qualify. My Medicare premiums just went up this week on my sorry Insurance, that doesn't pay for anything and it has a high deductible. I cannot afford to go to the doctor. Donald trump does not like the elderly, unless they're wealthy, the rest of us should just be disappeared.
He doesn't like himself. Can't expect him to like anybody else. He's a criminally insane idiot who only likes golf--at which he cheats. Can't figure out why anyone would want to play Golf with him or do business with him. He's a liar and a cheat and an adulterer of epic proportions.
All we can do is vote with our pocketbooks. That used to work, however I blame the credit industry for luring people into massive debt they cannot afford to repay. Whatever happened to credit limits? Same for student loans. A 17 year old is not literate enough to realize thousands of dollars in student debt can become a lifetime burden. Change that if you need a loan, go to junior college first. Pay that off and then go to senior college with govt paying only one year at a time. Those majoring in worthless degrees need to finance it on their own.
Paying for a college education in America is backasswards wrong! We have young people graduating with advanced degrees who can't afford to live on their own. They have to live with their parents. Those who don't have a family to fall back on are often forced to take low-paying jobs to get by. We met a sitting judge in her 40s who told us she is still paying her school loans. This should not be happening in America. Disgraceful!
Amen to that. Student loans are DEI and welfare all wrapped up to fund colleges and universities. Meanwhile protecting their tax advantaged endowments. In the end, the public is on the hook for deficiencies. The more money thrown into student loans the higher tuition grows to suck it up.
Fully understand that higher education has to be funded given that states have reduced their support. Most of us are a product of that system. I graduated from college in 1969 when tuition was $3000 per year. Now $30k+++. Incomes have not kept pace. Used some govt loan, but paid off in 2 years.
Loans should be limited to one year max. No more unlimited funding for professional students. Modify so interest cannot exceed the amount of the loan. Colleges/universities need to come on board and use those endowments to help fund student loans/interest and not just to increase faculty salaries. Endowments should also be fully taxable to help offset the public funding student loans.
Please check out your local Farmers Market. You can connect with a farmer and set up a CSA (community supported agriculture) and get what she/he's got growing weekly or whatever. I love it and you can help keep your independent farmer alive! I get green eggs!
For someone who has been in the business world for most of his life, as well as surrounding himself by individuals who are familiar with economics, I don't think Trump is ignorant about how tariffs work.
I believe his scheme is to tax Americans in a manner in which he not only does not have to have the permission of a "do-nothing" Congress, but he is also amassing funds for which he is accountable to no one for how he spends them.
Right he is not doing this out of ignorance. This is a well thought out plan to bankrupt us so he and his ilk can plunder for pennies on the dollar. The bankruptcy king. This is not to make America great, it is to make us poor hiding behind inflation he has caused.
My question, where are our captains of industry and finance that could stop him. Has he made them a deal they cannot refuse? Or are they in direct benefit as long as the stock market keeps rising?
That would be nice, fight fire with fire. Having congress investigate itself or the president is a total waste of time. After everything that has been throw at T, he is still there.. I do not hold hope that the Epstein saga will nail him even if the worst shows up. Like the EJ Carol and his business records trials with a guilty verdicts, he seems to prevail even when he loses. All this does not pass the smell test. Any other person would have been gone.
The only positive that has come out is that we have see how weak and fragile our experiment in democracy really is. Hopefully if and when cooler heads prevail. We will right this sinking ship.
Term limits for all, age limits (65) for all, extreme limits on presidental pardons so no conflicts of interest. The civil service and military cannot be removed from office without cause. International treaties and alliances cannot be alterned on presidential whim. Qualifications for president need to prevent any person who has foreign business interests for running. Why has his tax records still not been made public. These should have been independently audited before running? Something is not right.
Makes you wonder where does all the money come from to fuel the stock market? Is the USA owned by US citizens or foreign interests hiding behind shell companies and hedge funds?
How is it that rising stock market is not considered inflation? Why are gains even if not cashed out not taxed? Why are CEO stock options not taxed ? Why are "investment" gains not taxed as ordinary income regardless of time held. Little people have to pay on income yet the big people get a tax break. Seriously?? Real work should not be taxed higher if anything the taxes on stock market gains should be same as real work taxes.
Crypto is just online gambling, probably funding China, Russia and North Korea. Another tax dodge that IRS cannot audit. That is why T is sacking as IRS agents. By the way think not taxing tips and over time is great. Well that is a way to reduce their social security benefits. We have a shortfall in taxes now, so adding to it makes no sense.
You do not need a PhD in economics to realize "little" people are getting ripped off. Meanwhile those making a killing in the stock market or at the corporate level are major drivers of inflation, smiling all the way to the bank. Have you ever wondered why trusts exist... to hide the money.
Little people do not have CPAs to manage their finances and avoid taxes.
For all those who will cry that unrealized gains should not be taxable. Please direct your tears to my state government who raises my property taxes on the unrealized gains on my house. My house does not give me any income to pay those taxes.
One of your best commentaries! If, they would just provide the deserved honesty, as you point out, then voters could make informed decisions. But too many believe whatever the White House puts out. And they should be able to! But the truth is, they cannot.
I appreciated the article, but you didn't describe what you mean by the all-caps title TRUMP KILLING HIS PRESIDENCY. If you use all caps I expect that you will defend the claim in your piece.....
I, too, hate the ALLCAPS COMEONS. David didn't used to have to do this and that was actually one of the reasons that I subscribed to his channel in the first place. But YouTube has certain criteria that have to be met to make themselves money and they seem to have upped these criteria lately. Don't take it out on David. It seems to be a relatively new YouTube "thing".
He’s doing the same thing to himself and his beloved Rethuglican party—a few of whom are suddenly announcing they’re “not seeking reelection.” Ain’t that something? They’re running for the hills aka running for cover.

Trump will rig the mid-terms so only MAGA fools are elected. There is no-one to stop him. How can you? He is above the law. Who would be brave enough to try to arrest him faced with his bodyguards and ICE?
We're praying he's gone by then

Why November 5?
In the UK it is the day we burn a Guy on a bonfire. .Might be a tradition worth adopting😁
Sounds like a plan to me. I'm familiar with Mr Fawkes
😋 Yup!
Excellent idea!
One year anniversary of the 2024 election.
A day of infamy for sure. Wonder what Project 2025 thinks of MTN and the Meidas Mighty now? Shocked, surprised, and frustrated is my thought. They never expected their PINO to cause as much trouble as he continues his face-first slide into full-on onset of irreversible dementia. Good
Watch V for Vendetta. You will see.
Seriously?
Tariffs are taxes. Trump is an economic idiot.
Release the complete Epstein files.
Trump knows what he is doing - Putin's bidding. And he will NEVER release the Epstein Files. Why should he?
Never stop with the EPSTEIN FILES!! That drives that bimbo crazy 🤪 and I love it 😍
Ditto!

Let Dicktator Don wreck his presidency. Good!
He cannot help himself. Imagine being on his staff, constantly putting out fires.

What are they going to do about the significant departures from the FBI and the DOJ? They are in positions of leadership with less and less people to lord over. Everything connected to Dumpty dies.

It almost doesn't matter. He's in a sh*thole of trouble of his own making.
Little girls peeing on his face, probably. It's, apparently, a national sport in Russia. No little girl is safe in that country!
You are probably in the ballpark. Even if true, he has no sense of embarrassment. Biden made him do it.
Sad
Not quite. He and they didn't expect the MTN Resistance to emerge and blossom the way it has. What they've tried to achieve is frustrating them as seats are being lost to Democrats. All hope is not lost. As the White House THOT said when asked if she would be more visible alongside the creep she's married to said, "Stay tuned." We are and they are getting tuned out.
I think you are missing the fact that Trump has already achieved Putin's aims. The USA has lost its reputation which will take decades to get back. As I said elsewhere his destruction of the economy, agriculture, tourism, defence etc. have already started to happen - and tariffs have only just started to kick in. Sorry, but IT IS TOO LATE.
I am usually a sourpuss on our future. However, knowing how fickle politicians and corporations can be, the minute his pestilence is removed, they will right the ship in self-interest. All is not lost. We made it thru Covid. Our forefathers made it thru tougher times like the Spanish flu, tuberculosis, polio, WWI, WWII and the Great Depression. We are nowhere near that YET.
Democracy is not a straight line. Sometimes you have to really screwup to see the error of our ways in living color to turn it around. Most of our laws are based on the misdeeds of a few.
Not sure praying will solve this as Trump is a manmade disaster.
...also, if you think only black people can become slaves you do not know history.
The Resistance is growing by leaps and bounds. It's only "too late" for those who are unwilling to stand in defiance of the regime.
Debt is the new Slavery, and the "plantation" is now fully integrated across all groups, ages, ethnicities, and religions. From the cost of medical care, dentistry, prescriptions, gasoline, property taxes, food, to electricity, the scourge of debt is upon us all. It's called equal opportunity Slavery.
The cost of living and stagnant wages have turned working people into the working poor--precisely what the elite wanted and achieved to stave off the upward mobility of what used to be middle-income workers. Economic booms are no more.
America celebrated after WWII, and hard-working people made decent wages, were valued by their employers, or had the opportunity to become business owners. That was then. This is today. It ain't the Donna Reed Show.
Slavery? It's a daily occurrence. This nation is enslaved by skyrocketing housing and other costs across the board. So, if you think you're not a slave, you do not know where you are at present, much less history.
Well said. Indebtedness and taxation is eating our hopes and dreams and marching many to bankruptcy. Rising prices and taxes force us to fuel and subsidize inflation. The country will no longer be worth defending. Russia may run on vodka, not sure American can run just on beer.
It is amazing how Trump has created both fake news and the bogeyman deep state enemy. In reality he and his cronies are the real deep state spinning lies only the uneducated can believe. Not sure what motivates his lieutenants, who should all know better.
They do know better but, their avarice is what motivates them. They’ve sold their souls to the devil. They are individually and collectively as corrupt and greedy as their cult leader. There is a price to pay for discarding one’s integrity. Decisions have consequences.
I do know that I do not live in the USA. My point is that most of the consequences of Trump's actions will take DECADES to reverse and many are irreversible. I truly wish you luck in your endeavours.
Likewise, Pilgrim.
I'm not dead and neither are you.
Good luck reaching the very people we need to help reverse this mess. I guess it needs to be even worse than it is now to sink in.
The tide is changing. MAGATS are waking up to the reality that they voted in a monster. The suffering is planned. It's part of the entire design to break the spirit of Democracy, and it's failing daily. Long live the Resistance!
Everything is on a gradient. What is crystal clear to me is totally obscure to many. Obviously, that person squatting in our White House is stark naked on so many levels it's nauseating, but people have sent him their daughters.
Hi David...
Well I was somewhat shocked the other day when I went to the store. Some canned good I usually buy were at least $2 higher....so I didn't buy them. Same thing in Produce. There you go.
I usually buy groceries two times a month and , mainly the same items as on social security is my only income. I'm an elderly lady.I can't afford a lot. I placed an order 3 weeks ago. And it was the usual around a 130 to $35. I placed an order a few days ago for the same exact items and imagine my shock when the bill came up as being $172 .00. I won't be buying any groceries for a while now. And by the way, I tried to apply for food stamps a while back and was turned down because they told me I needed to have a young person living with me to qualify. My Medicare premiums just went up this week on my sorry Insurance, that doesn't pay for anything and it has a high deductible. I cannot afford to go to the doctor. Donald trump does not like the elderly, unless they're wealthy, the rest of us should just be disappeared.
I'm in the same boat. I guess we are supposed to just die.
That would be his delight. The problem is we're not just dying and we're not going away, and neither is his Epstein bellyache. Good.
He doesn't like himself. Can't expect him to like anybody else. He's a criminally insane idiot who only likes golf--at which he cheats. Can't figure out why anyone would want to play Golf with him or do business with him. He's a liar and a cheat and an adulterer of epic proportions.
All we can do is vote with our pocketbooks. That used to work, however I blame the credit industry for luring people into massive debt they cannot afford to repay. Whatever happened to credit limits? Same for student loans. A 17 year old is not literate enough to realize thousands of dollars in student debt can become a lifetime burden. Change that if you need a loan, go to junior college first. Pay that off and then go to senior college with govt paying only one year at a time. Those majoring in worthless degrees need to finance it on their own.
Paying for a college education in America is backasswards wrong! We have young people graduating with advanced degrees who can't afford to live on their own. They have to live with their parents. Those who don't have a family to fall back on are often forced to take low-paying jobs to get by. We met a sitting judge in her 40s who told us she is still paying her school loans. This should not be happening in America. Disgraceful!
Amen to that. Student loans are DEI and welfare all wrapped up to fund colleges and universities. Meanwhile protecting their tax advantaged endowments. In the end, the public is on the hook for deficiencies. The more money thrown into student loans the higher tuition grows to suck it up.
Fully understand that higher education has to be funded given that states have reduced their support. Most of us are a product of that system. I graduated from college in 1969 when tuition was $3000 per year. Now $30k+++. Incomes have not kept pace. Used some govt loan, but paid off in 2 years.
Loans should be limited to one year max. No more unlimited funding for professional students. Modify so interest cannot exceed the amount of the loan. Colleges/universities need to come on board and use those endowments to help fund student loans/interest and not just to increase faculty salaries. Endowments should also be fully taxable to help offset the public funding student loans.
Please check out your local Farmers Market. You can connect with a farmer and set up a CSA (community supported agriculture) and get what she/he's got growing weekly or whatever. I love it and you can help keep your independent farmer alive! I get green eggs!
For someone who has been in the business world for most of his life, as well as surrounding himself by individuals who are familiar with economics, I don't think Trump is ignorant about how tariffs work.
I believe his scheme is to tax Americans in a manner in which he not only does not have to have the permission of a "do-nothing" Congress, but he is also amassing funds for which he is accountable to no one for how he spends them.
Right he is not doing this out of ignorance. This is a well thought out plan to bankrupt us so he and his ilk can plunder for pennies on the dollar. The bankruptcy king. This is not to make America great, it is to make us poor hiding behind inflation he has caused.
My question, where are our captains of industry and finance that could stop him. Has he made them a deal they cannot refuse? Or are they in direct benefit as long as the stock market keeps rising?
Perhaps the key to his power over them lies in the Epstein Files. This is just a wild guess, but in today’s world, it’s as good as any.
That would be nice, fight fire with fire. Having congress investigate itself or the president is a total waste of time. After everything that has been throw at T, he is still there.. I do not hold hope that the Epstein saga will nail him even if the worst shows up. Like the EJ Carol and his business records trials with a guilty verdicts, he seems to prevail even when he loses. All this does not pass the smell test. Any other person would have been gone.
The only positive that has come out is that we have see how weak and fragile our experiment in democracy really is. Hopefully if and when cooler heads prevail. We will right this sinking ship.
Term limits for all, age limits (65) for all, extreme limits on presidental pardons so no conflicts of interest. The civil service and military cannot be removed from office without cause. International treaties and alliances cannot be alterned on presidential whim. Qualifications for president need to prevent any person who has foreign business interests for running. Why has his tax records still not been made public. These should have been independently audited before running? Something is not right.
The economic advantage they receive in the stock market has already been proven to be a factor based on his manipulation of the "tariff deadlines."
Makes you wonder where does all the money come from to fuel the stock market? Is the USA owned by US citizens or foreign interests hiding behind shell companies and hedge funds?
How is it that rising stock market is not considered inflation? Why are gains even if not cashed out not taxed? Why are CEO stock options not taxed ? Why are "investment" gains not taxed as ordinary income regardless of time held. Little people have to pay on income yet the big people get a tax break. Seriously?? Real work should not be taxed higher if anything the taxes on stock market gains should be same as real work taxes.
Crypto is just online gambling, probably funding China, Russia and North Korea. Another tax dodge that IRS cannot audit. That is why T is sacking as IRS agents. By the way think not taxing tips and over time is great. Well that is a way to reduce their social security benefits. We have a shortfall in taxes now, so adding to it makes no sense.
Thank you for your comments, Russ. TBH, I am in no position to agree or disagree with your statements. I didn't get my PhD in Economics.
That being said, I'm sure someone more qualified than I am can interact with your statements. I am left with giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks again for your comments.
You do not need a PhD in economics to realize "little" people are getting ripped off. Meanwhile those making a killing in the stock market or at the corporate level are major drivers of inflation, smiling all the way to the bank. Have you ever wondered why trusts exist... to hide the money.
Little people do not have CPAs to manage their finances and avoid taxes.
For all those who will cry that unrealized gains should not be taxable. Please direct your tears to my state government who raises my property taxes on the unrealized gains on my house. My house does not give me any income to pay those taxes.
100 percent correct!
Trump tarrifs no good. Misplaced
Very good for Putin.
One of your best commentaries! If, they would just provide the deserved honesty, as you point out, then voters could make informed decisions. But too many believe whatever the White House puts out. And they should be able to! But the truth is, they cannot.
I appreciated the article, but you didn't describe what you mean by the all-caps title TRUMP KILLING HIS PRESIDENCY. If you use all caps I expect that you will defend the claim in your piece.....
I, too, hate the ALLCAPS COMEONS. David didn't used to have to do this and that was actually one of the reasons that I subscribed to his channel in the first place. But YouTube has certain criteria that have to be met to make themselves money and they seem to have upped these criteria lately. Don't take it out on David. It seems to be a relatively new YouTube "thing".
