And who pray tell destroyed the pipeline in-order to cut off their oil supply, btw doing it right before winter? Any wonder why there is distain…but not to worry, there is plenty of oil and food that the BRIC countries at much better prices. Now if Germany, or any of the other European countries …Even Canada & Denmark feels pressured by Donny Diapers, they can always leave the G7 for BRIC and be welcomed in…no problems mate.

Yea, you could say that but Biden is so addled that it’s got to go deeper… so if you just said the democrats I’d tend to agree. I’d like to be a fly on the wall when they came up with that game plan. In any event, I’m certain that Putin will get his revenge.

That is not healthy.

Having Donald Trump as president of the United States is definitely not healthy for the United States, nor for the world, except for Putin and maybe China.

If you cannot applaud DT for stopping millions of tax dollars supporting drag shows in Peru, then you would never believe he is capable of doing anything good for this country.

I don't think that Donald Trump as president is capable of doing anything, or at least not much, that is good for the United States. Having Donald Trump as president is a definite net minus for the United States of America.

The big money in the budget is spent on the military, and interest on the national debt, and Social Security, and Medicare, and Medicaid and health care programs for children like the Children's Health Insurance Program, spending for the unemployed and indigent and food assistance for people like children in indigent families, and veterans benefits - those are big items and not the chump change spent on things like ridiculous shows.

Biden is so addled

Having such elderly presidents like Biden and Trump back-to-back definitely shows the need to end rule by gerontocracy in the United States; perhaps by amending the U.S. Constitution to prohibit anyone running for public office in the federal government once they reach 75 years of age. There are minimum age requirements in the U.S. Constitution, so let's have maximum age limits, too. And also require any U.S. Supreme Court justice to retire from the court when reaching the age of 75 years.

What kind of a President would make you happy Ken? What would he be doing?

So far, DT and his team have discovered…

1. Millions of people, according to SSA, are more than 130 years old. Somebody is getting those checks..

2. The Treasury Dept has books that show 4.7 Trillion dollars that have no record of where the money has gone

3. The USAID agency had a budget of about 60 billion dollars, which funded the ridiculous shows all over the world.

4. The Pentagon can’t account for hundreds of billions of dollars…

5. They are just getting started with Medicare and Medicaid but have already found states using those funds for non allocated functions.

This fraud would NEVER have been exposed if not for DT. This is GOOD for this country. It is a necessary first step in fixing the budget for long term fiscal responsibility.

As often as you post threads complaining about the national debt, I truly believed you would appreciate what was being done.

Peace to you

1. Millions of people, according to SSA, are more than 130 years old. Somebody is getting those checks..

“The SSA maintains a computer database known as the Death Master File. However, this database was not established until 1983, and not every state has fully participated until recently. Thus, deaths that occurred prior to the 1980s were less likely to be included.”


2. The Treasury Dept has books that show 4.7 Trillion dollars that have no record of where the money has gone

Those expenditures, 70% of federal government expenditures, were simply missing a TAS code. If that $4.7 trillion was waste, fraud, and abuse, then a whole lot of folks would not have received their Social Security checks, a lot of doctors and hospitals would have not been paid, a lot of military personnel would not have been paid, etc., etc., etc. There would have been a huge public outcry if that had happened.

3. The USAID agency had a budget of about 60 billion dollars, which funded the ridiculous shows all over the world.

Yes, in helping with efforts to stop HIV and tuberculosis and help vulnerable people. If the United States government is going to stop life-saving efforts for children and other vulnerable people, then also don't renew Trump's tax cuts. Doing that will help lower the increase in the national debt by around $4.5 trillion over the next decade.
4. The Pentagon can’t account for hundreds of billions of dollars…

Dump the current Constitution and return to the Articles of Confederation of 1781 and this won't be an issue.

5. They are just getting started with Medicare and Medicaid but have already found states using those funds for non allocated functions.

What does "non-allocated" mean?

If it was being done in a competent way and not by someone like Elon Musk, whose companies, by the way, happen to have received a LOT of subsidies from the federal government, and with a competent leader as president, not an elderly man like Donald Trump, I might be open to appreciating it.

A president I like wouldn't be proclaiming himself a king,

Would that President also have a sense of humour?

nor be an ally of Putin

Do you want the war to end ? Then you have to be pragmatic, it’s not nice, but you have to bring parties together. Putin can kill the planet many times over, he is a case best left to ultimate justice unfortunately.

and would be younger than anywhere close to 80 years of age.

The man has more energy than men half his age, and he has all his faculties. He is perfectly competent for the job.

Someone like Elon Musk, a successful businessman and proven problem solver. Perfect for the job.

and with a competent leader as president, not an elderly man like Donald Trump,

Trump is competent despite his age, you are off the scale unreasonable here, I can’t take you seriously at all.

I might be open to appreciating it.

I don’t think so, you can’t seem to be reasonable.

In Australia we have term for people who can’t appreciate obviously good things.

A misery guts. Not satisfied with anything. Complain if it’s raining, complain if it’s sunny.

What the flip do you have to do with any of this anyway…aren’t you a friggen Ausie? BTW Trump (and his genius buddy Shadey Vance) just messed up any possibility for peace talks between the Ukraine & the Ruskies). More negative Rizz negotiating talent by these two bozos….how reckless how stupid are these schmucks! Remarkable, shameless!!!

Vance scolds the guy….that was a disgraceful display…a mugging, a coordinated
premeditated attack on Zelensky. So did they really want a negative outcome. Geeze, if I was to bring in a second person into a negotiation, I’d possibly play “Good Guy, Bad Guy” but not these idiots..Not unless they were really trying to insult Zelensky…pathetic.

Could you imagine what the European's must be thinking? This shameful display has got to make them wonder. This was a propaganda campaign, nothing more. As a citizen of the USA, I’m not impressed with these guys… they’re working for Putin. Vladimir must be happy!

Yes, as the aggressor, Putin should withdraw his troops and end the war.

There’s the way it ought to be, and then there’s the way it is.

Like I said, Russian pride is not going allow that, besides if Putin loses, he is dead, it’s life and death for Putin personally. And that makes him a desperate and very dangerous man.
Russia has lost 1% of its male population in this debacle, they aren’t going to wear that with a smile for nothing.
What this is, is two Slavic pit bulls in a fight to the death, they have got to be separated as fast as possible.

You obviously don’t know Slavs. The Ukies are now busy collecting bottles & rags…they are not giving up! I now know that Trump doesn’t understand them….you can try to kill them, stage an argument but that’s just going to piss them off. And the Russian people don’t really want to continue to fight these people, they always viewed them as comrades….but this will be seen as a slight and there are bad consequences to this slight.

Friggen Aussie? Australians have been American allies in all your major conflicts for over a century, more than anyone else. The sooner this mess in Europe is sorted out the faster we can deal with the real threat, China.

What’s remarkable and shameless is you don’t support your own sides play.

It is in poor taste for ANY president, kidding or otherwise, to declare himself to be king of the United States, considering what happened in 1776.

Settle down mate, it was a tweet, not a coronation ceremony.

Are you running a high fever or something? End stage TDS most likely.
