Well, we've all paid for tariffs (average $1200/household) and the still-increasing prices of groceries are noticeable. Next month my state will decide on a 19% electric rate increase. Gas is cheaper but I don't drive much, and low oil prices affect a small income I derive from oil and gas royalties.

What's worse is the overall demoralization about this administration. I do know people who will be impacted by changes to Medicaid (if nothing else, the increased recertification frequency--more paperwork/bureaucracy), SNAP, etc. But not even that. The overall damage to American principles is the worst. Sure, we can live with that. Plenty of people live decent lives under oppressive regimes--which is why they don't just collapse.

Also, the refusal to acknowledge climate change, and the expected consequences of reversing efforts to remediate that, will have long term consequences.

did you have to train your h1b as a replacement?

come back after you have finished that. and tell us about how bad it is.

People who are forced to train their replacement should only half train them.

Agree. I feel like people are finally beginning to come out of the ridiculous state of constant outrage they were in during the last administration. We now see a lot of appropriate push back and rolling of eyes regarding the things you list. Glad common sense has begun seeping in again.

All because we have a “common sense” president 😂. You are blind if you can’t see that this guy is a nut and leading us down a very dangerous path. He doesn’t care about this country, he doesn’t care about you, me, or anybody else.

I'll bet you obsess over Trump 24x7.

My message to you: it's always darkest before it goes black.

Chief Bone Spurs, denigrated Senator McCain for his service, calls military members “losers,” grabs women by the pu$$y, but conservatives couldn’t stomach Bill Clinton. Party of hypocrisy!

Debunked. Comment on losers was a lie. BTW, did Biden serve? No. He received five draft deferments. Did Obama serve? Nope.

Bonus: after being obama's VP for eight years, Obama endorsed Hillary instead of Biden.

Solid gold!

Trump lying about it is not the same as debunking.

Sources from his own administration and multiple news outlets corroborated it. So no, there was no debunking. Plus, this was not a one-time thing.

From the Military Times: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/09/03/report-trump-disparaged-us-war-dead-as-losers-suckers/#:~:text=The%20senior%20Marine%20Corps%20officer,2018%20funeral%20of%20Republican%20Sen.

Trump lied?

ALWAYS. Habitually. It's part of his DNA.

The so called experts just took another brutal loss
The US trade deficit came in far lower than expected and it is because of President Trump

Negative fifty two billion
We are all the way back to June 2020 levels

Tariffs work
Trump was right
Scott Bessent was right
Howard Lutnick was right

America finally has leadership that knows how to win on trade instead of surrendering like the globalist crowd wanted

Health care premiums going up $6500 per year.

Other than in your mind, how has Trump affected you? Honestly.

I hate trump, but he has no tangible impact on my life.

This is part of the reason why we are where we are as a nation and as a society. Unless it affects people directly, people just don’t care. We’ve lost our empathy. Our humanity. Our collective responsibility to help be the voice of the voiceless.

It’s disgusting and very, very sad.

No, you've overdosed on empathy and collectivism. That's what's disgusting.

I sincerely hope you’re not Christian. Jesus would have some thoughts about your prospects for eternal life with that attitude.

+1000. I am so sick and tired of the right wing "Christian nationalists" who literally go 180 degrees against everything Christ taught.

Christ taught empathy, he commanded us to look after refugees and the sick and the poor and the hungry. The GOP teaches hate and selfishness and greed and kicking out refugees and turning your back on the sick and the poor and the hungry and to mock and demonize them for their poor fortune in life. They are the exact opposite of Christians.

Hate to say it, but Christians turned their back on Christ two millennia ago. It’s been a grift and a power play ever since. If you believe the scholars, Paul was the first to do it. Threw Jesus’s beloved women followers - the ones who bankrolled the entire early operation- right under the bus.

Lmao. I’m so sick of the foreign trolls. I’ll give you poorly controlled borders. But drag queens and pronouns? That really impacted you?

I think KKKaroline is on here.

I’m sick of chubby little bleach blonde liars marrying guys who are old enough to be their granddaddies. Makes me sick. Barf.

well traffic certainly does suck again and I lost two days TW. I still can't afford a vacation, so it sucks a little bit more than before for me personally. I imagine it sucks way more for other people.
