    You dumbasses really believe there are 77,000,000 racist, homophobic, authoritarian Nazis? Turn the news off and go touch grass, *******.

    P.S. While you all argue about partisan politics with strangers who will never agree with you, no one in this forum is getting compensated for the work they do.

    Actually I'm still getting paid

    So what do you like that they are doing? Who gives a shit who the name on the ticket is. What policy are they doing that you like? How is your life better?

    Some things I like: The administration has secured the southern border. The deportations should be more targeted for known drug and human traffickers in my opinion, but the flow of people across the border has been nearly eliminated. I was a carpenter prior to this job and got to see firsthand how people here illegally were undercutting wages for skilled and unskilled laborers. The extension of the tax cuts from the TCJA plus no tax on OT and tips is a good thing even though only 1/3 of the OT is tax deductible. I like that he’s trying to broker a peace deal with Ukraine and Russia. I liked the idea of DOGE, but I think it was poorly executed.
    For me and many others, A huge part of voting for him was voting for the lesser of two evils. The previous administration attempted to fire federal employees for not taking a vaccine, Democrat run states and cities extended the COVID19 travel restrictions and other business mandates far longer than Republican led states, actively suppressed free speech on the internet by claiming it was misinformation, lied about the mental capacity of the president for at least two years, didn’t hold a primary after Biden was ousted, and ran a presidential candidate who didn’t finish in the top 5 of the 2020 democratic primaries just to name a few things.

    Brother this administration has fired federal employees 😂

    I thought Russia Ukraine was ending day 1?

    Now we are going to war again?

    Has your life gotten better with all these “aliens”’gone? I haven’t noticed a change.

    Do you believe every federal employee, program, and contract should be funded by taxpayers? If the answer is no then we’re in agreement that we should downsize government.
    In regards to immigration, what should we do with all of the people who entered America illegally? What is your opinion on that?

    You live in an alternate universe. The previous admin did not suppress free speech, but this one is ABSOLUTELY doing so.

    Zuckerberg says the White House pressured Facebook to 'censor' some COVID-19 content during the pandemic
    Zuckerberg alleges that the officials, including those from the White House, "repeatedly pressured" Facebook for months to take down "certain COVID-19 content including humor and satire."

    Mark Zuckerberg disagrees with you. Does that make him a xenophobic, Nazi, magat?

    Donald lost the presidential election in 2020 & then attempted a violent coup that got him impeached in the House & very close to conviction in the Senate (closest any president ever came to conviction in the Senate). So, with that track record, if your claims of there being some kind of “non-MAGA” Republican Party were true, how did Donald, a near-senile 79 year old, win the 2024 Republican primary? Why wasn’t there a Republican candidate to lead the Party not named “Donald Trump?”

    Oh fuck off with that whole sham. Trump was impeached twice, and the first time the Dems couldn’t even make up their mind on what the impeachment charges were. First it was quid pro quo, then it was abuse of power and Russian collusion, then it was obstruction of Congress. And not to mention Vindman “blowing the whistle” because he had concerns that a politically motivated investigation would undermine U.S. national security and U.S. support for Ukraine, as if that in itself looking back isn’t doped with irony…

    This set an absolute wet-paper bag precedent for the second impeachment trial kicking off, of which was bullshit because the media took something Trump said way out of context about Jan 6th, trimmed it down and the house took that and ran with it. Be you a Democrat or Republican constituent, the entire two part series was absolute bullshit and fueled by partisan spite. So much so that Adam Schiff (presided as lead impeachment inquirer and manager for both trials) was since censured so as to be debarred from serving on any congressional committees because of that atrocity.

    What is Dictator Donnie doing right now that you could possibly claim you did not expect to happen? What is being done that was not outlined in Project 2025? What did you think mass deportations meant? The man literally said he’d be a dictator on Day 1. He told you himself he was gonna be a dictator. No presidential candidate in history ever said that. It should have been the end of his campaign when he said it. This nation was born out of a Declaration of Independence from a ruler with total authority…a king. This nation has fought wars against dictatorships for decades, but now we have voting citizens who say, “Yes, we’ll vote to have a dictator.” The Republican Congress has ceded its authority as the Article I Branch of government to a totalitarian & does whatever he orders them to do (i.e. keep the House out of session for over a month with no end in sight).

    Dictator? King? Umm, correct me if I’m wrong, but it was your party that forced mask wearing and threatened people’s jobs for not getting the stupid jab AND provide medical documentation supporting such (which is a violation of HIPAA). Your party skipped the primary in 2024, threatened the first nominee and sitting President with invoking the 25th amendment, then crowned Kamala without a SINGLE vote. Blue states also tried to erase Trump from the ballot of a federal election. All when your legal warfare crashed and burned. That’s not a democracy, that’s authoritarianism with a blue sticker. No Kings, right? 🤡

    I've already been down this path with Z-berg and other MAGA.... but effectively Zberg initially claimed that the FBI's warning about misinformation led to their decision to censor certain information (namely, the Hunter laptop story) ----as we got closer and closer to election day Zuckerberg changed his tune from getting warnings to getting "pressured". Anyway, I want names and quotes to go along with that "pressure" if we're going to get close to an objective truth about the White House's actions at the time. When it comes to Kimmel, we have a name and we have quotes... we just don't have admittance from ABC that their decision was a direct result of Barr's comments.

    That’s a whole lotta words you typed to say nothing accurate at all. Everything you typed was total bullshit to include every “and” & “the.” The violent coup attempt occurred by the direction of Dicktator Donnie. That’s why even 7 Republican senators voted to convict in the Senate. The vote to convict was a bipartisan one. The votes to not convict were partisan & consisted of only Republicans. There’s a reason he pardoned all of the violent insurrectionists & literally said “We love you” to them that day.

    Zuckerberg is a fucking moron who attends MAGA ceremonies & kisses Dicktator Donnie’s ass every chance he gets. For actual proof of an authoritarian regime suppressing free speech, see yet another of MANY examples (I’ve already provided another):

    Federal agencies threaten, discipline employees for criticizing or mocking Charlie Kirk
    The Trump administration is “tracking…very closely” social media posts suggesting Kirk should not be mourned, some agencies say.

    Lmao HIPAA definitely does NOT only apply to medical providers. HIPAA protect YOU as a patient from having your medical information disclosed to anyone for any authorized reasons outlined within it. It’s one thing to have medical requirements written into federal law mandating certain criteria to hold an FAA medical certificate, if you lose your medical you can be designated for other duties/positions as we all know. It’s a completely different thing to threaten people with termination to get certain medical treatment and provide documentation for it. I love your little name calling tirade tho, it’s very telling.

    Also you never disproved anything I just said. So there’s that.

    Well, if nothing else, I’ve educated you on HIPAA now. Maybe you’ll remember this lesson I taught you in the future. No charge, this one’s on the house.

    And I never once said “HIIPA.” You even quoted my initial comment with the acronym “HIPAA” spelled correctly 😂 If you’ve educated me on anything it’s the preponderance that you may have dyslexia at this point lmao

    I believe that congress gets to appropriate money and people shouldn’t get fired cus of some guy named big balls.

    I think criminals should be arrested and they immigration should be fixed for people who want to come lver and work. It shouldn’t be controversial to have guys come help farm and build shit.
