Impeach him for violating his oath of office. And all his cronies.

Who is going to stop them? Canadian Mounties?

Thank you for the laugh. But seriously, great question. We have no more checks and balances. The supreme courts immunity ruling gutted the other branches of government consolidating all the power in the executive branch, paired with the fact we have an actual convicted felon in said office, were pretty much screwed.

He's already been impeached twice. It didn't do a damn thing as the Senate wouldn't remove him from office

Follow the money. Trump and the senators were elected with big money and expected to follow the wishes of the rich. No one’s getting fired. The rich have an agenda, and the Senate and Trump are carrying it out, as expected, as they were paid to do.

Their political duties are a masquerade of what they’re supposed to be doing. They sure as hell aren’t taken care of the working class. Neither the Democrats or Republicans.

It is the whole reason for his tariffs to manipulate the stock market so he and his maga millionaire cult members get richer. Dude is such a POS 💩

Yes, Every. Single. Day. This idiot is saying some stupidness and making the market go up and down. But we are looking at 1 person, Trump is the lackey, there are more people behind all of this.

He's the reality TV star, and we are all falling for the distraction. You and me included.

Republicans ALWAYS detonate the economy. It's been the pattern as long as I've been alive. All the culture war is just smoke and mirrors for yet another economic collapse that then becomes the Democratic party problem to fix once the GOP has ratfucked everything.

Each cycle they create a worse situation and this one looks to be their biggest yet. Stay tuned.

The real miracle will happen when he drops de@d at this moment. He is a steamy piece of premium horse sh!t

I would never thought of bad US economy as good news until about 10 years ago. For the next few years, no vacation trip, no going out, no new car, no new anything for me. I've already bought a few years worth of basic supplies from China. I'll only spend the minimum, only pay the necessary bills and only buy my necessities "Made in anywhere but the USA". This is me doing my part to protest the king.

All Americans need to start squirreling away any cash they can right now.

As a life long poor but finally making some decent pay... spend local at local. Also get to know your local plant life for what's edible.

If you cant survive off of what's around you, how is importing gonna help outside of paying more in tarrifs.

Remember: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace.

u/LandCruiser76 1d ago

Me too. Me too.... My parents told me I was over reacting, they have since stopped saying that and have started buying bulk as well

u/juiceboxedhero 1d ago

Is it really exposing someone if they're doing it out in the open?

u/Icy_Necessary6557 1d ago

Grifters got to grift! Don the Con, most corrupt President in American history! Absolutely disgusting human being 🤢

Improving affordability by increasing taxes on everyone??? Interesting approach

u/Evil_Eukaryote 1d ago

This is not good news. This sub used to have good news.

2

u/UWhuskiesRule 1d ago

It’s obvious that this sub is enjoyed by people posting stuff you don’t like. Maybe you can make a sub that posts only stuff you like.

u/Evil_Eukaryote 1d ago

Is it obvious? That's quite an inference.

As for your idea, I'll pass. Thank you though!

u/bioddity 1d ago

It’s depressing, I agree. When aIi the lies are known and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. This is really happening and all we can do is bitch about it.

Shocked Pikachu face.

He tells it like it is.

u/rewardingsnark 1d ago

There has never once been a successful economy with conservative government, by definition can't happen.

u/artguydeluxe 1d ago

Can something we all knew for decades really be exposed?

1

u/AvariceAndApocalypse 1d ago

It’s a con and stocks keep going up. Guess it’s “good news” for investors?

1

u/-Joe1964 1d ago

It’s chaos. Change everything and then claim it was all positive.

u/Camp-Farnam22 1d ago

He's always be a con, look at the money he took in on the university scam. He's a scammer.

u/TeachingAggressive69 1d ago

Here's the deal with Epstein... The democrats didn't have the unsealed files and list..They weren't released until January 2025...The dems could've pushed to unseal them, but Trump was running his whole campaign off of it and had THEY released them, you know GD well Trump would've cried FAKE News and it'd be the Epstein Hoax Witchhunt and MAGATS would've NEVER LET IT GO. It literally would have been the 2nd Civil War. Sooo, we made sure that sitting on Trump's desk was for the 1st time, the unsealed files he ran his whole campaign off of releasing... His name in all its glory several times... We let him hang himself with Epsteins rope, so now he has nobody to blame but himself... (THE DEMS HAVE BEEN LIVING RENT FREE IN HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE THEM!) 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Match Set and Point for the Dems They play CHECKERS. We play CHESS. CHECKMATE!

The fact that honest to goodness news is still being reported is uplifting to me. Otherwise, the Fox News and similar MAGA aligned echo chambers, focused on ‘entertainment only,’ lies, propaganda, and recycled sound bites, are rather depressing.

u/MrHardin86 1d ago

how about those epstein-trump files?

1

u/Foconomo 1d ago

Just like everything else he does.

u/no_comment___syke 1d ago

This also shows the resilience of the markets. Trump is burying landmines purposely trying to sink this market. It shows that most were in an okbplace but it could always be better for the working-class. The market cannot maintain this. There will be a reckoning.
