Inflation watch- Your Coffee just went up (then down) by 50%
Dump is supposedly 1) an adult and 2) a US leader, but name calling is one of his finest weapons??? "Sleepy Joe", "Crooked Hillary", "Little Marco". Like a child.
I mean, hey, if the shoe fits......
I still can't believe this was the best we could do. We need new leadership so damn badly.
@Gary1952: Hope you aren't needing gasoline, major appliances, a flat-screen TV, automotive products, or lumber to build a home, because taxes on anything imported from Canada or Mexico will increase by 25% starting tomorrow.
Deportation agreement! How much per head is this costing the tax payer?
Far less than one single life taken by one of them!
Gary1952,
How about the 64 people that died on American Eagle 5342 on trump's watch?
On trump's second day, he:
1. Fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration 2. Fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee 3. Froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers 4. Fired 100 top FAA security officers.
I submit that these might have been contributing factors.
How about the 3 aboard the US Army helicopter that might have been pre-occupied with the turmoil that their new boss hegseth will bring?

In 2022, undocumented immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes. Those monies go to those of us who are "authorized" to benefit from the numerous SS programs. They certainly do not go to those who paid in via payroll deduction. Please don't tell me tariffs will make up this shortfall.
We all know the answer to that. Maybe I should be angrier than I am with all the illegals: my wife had to wait two years to be admitted to the US legally. But you have how many people desperate to escape shit-hole countries to the south (and in Africa?) where the governments are all either totally inept or corrupt or owned by cartels? Wait.... That pretty much describes the current US Administration.... But seriously: there are parents threatened in those places with a desperate choice: let us recruit your 10-year old kid into our violent street gang with drugs and guns, or we will give you the privilege of watching us shoot your husband before your eyes. Years ago, I knew such a family, who fled to the USA and took sanctuary in Spokane. And then we'll just TAKE your son, anyhow.
There are putrid, scumbag people out there, all over the world, who will do ANYTHING to enrich themselves. I don't blame a great many illegals who risk everything to come here. Then, when they pay into SS, they are not even eligible to ever collect.
Now, when it comes to illegals who turn to criminal activity once they get HERE? Fuck 'em.
