They already thought about it. The visibly damaging provisions will start rolling in 2027. They will try to blame Democrats for it, and that is why ACA should be repealed.

This is why it’s so important to come out ahead and set your conservative friends’ expectation so they can’t turn it around and say “see, nothing happened” or “I’m losing insurance, because Democrats won midterms”

I could be wrong, but the way it normally was working is that we were sending Ukraine our old stock that was about to expire and the money that supposedly was allocated for Ukraine was actually spent on replacing our stock.

There was no more new money approved since trump took office so to me it looks like it is another way of saying that the leftover support (allocated under Biden) is ending.

I find it upsetting that from all things trump made sure to start with anti air defense, as Russia is performing bigger and bigger attacks on civilians. All that after lamenting about innocent people dying. I guess he only meant Russian soldiers.

Sanctions are also only 2 weeks away

I am bad at this, I only recognize Charles Manson, so I get the joke, but I’m still curious who are the other 8?

This shows that waiting to 2026 and hoping that Dems will take over Congress is really pointless. They won’t acknowledge and certify any results that aren’t their people.

At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.

Yeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare

A lot of them took their flags down and sit quiet.

Afraid to admit they were wrong.

Exactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.

If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).

LOL, they even told us about it and everything

US is already an oil net exporter. Taco doesn’t care about Europe either so I don’t think oil is the motive as it was before.

IMO this is more of being Israel’s lap dog. Given initial confusion what to say (whether US is involved or not) I think taco observed that their attacks were successful so he wanted to put his name under it. It is also good distraction with tons of things that happened in last week. It will have longer term consequences, but he never thinks that far.

Edit: I saw this mentioned by someone and it actually fits with the rest they did so far. What if trump actually wants an Iran terrorist attack on US soil? He hired 22 year old grocery bagger with minor in landscaping to head counterterrorism branch of DHS. Explicitly stated against what Rubio initially was saying that this is a war.

He sent almost 5,000 troops to LA to squash 1,000 protesters with false pretenses that country is at war. They had nothing to do and are still in LA even after the riots (that happened on just 5 blocks of the city) ended.

If Iran (or even false flag attack pretending to be Iran) would happen he would suddenly have excuse to put troops in other cities.

The fucking rhetoric about Iranian sleeper cells seems like preparation to label protesters as Iranian agents.

He probably is not aware of it, but with that move he ruined years of US trying to align itself with India.

India does not see itself as a peer next to Pakistan. Suggesting that US (or anybody) would meditate peace talks with Pakistan was extremely insulting to India.

I don’t think there are many people in US that love current Iran regime, bit there is a difference between not liking it and starting a war.

Also I am so fucking tired of that argument “yeah, what he does is not good but Harris would be worse”

We don’t know, since taco is in charge, but we know that Netanyahu was livid when she commented how Israel is handling Palestine. Netanyahu also met with trump in July last year, now we know he likely wanted to have guarantees that trump will back Israel is it comes down to this.

And lastly, trump already tried to start war with Iran in 2019, but failed. He later also said he did it because Netanyahu told him to, which shows how weak he is.

Two things:

1. Inflation happened all over the world after covid due to supply issues, when production had to resume when restrictions were lifted. US had one of the lowest inflation in Western world
2. During first taco term there was a massive wealth transfer due to the tax bill. The corporate tax cuts were permanent, while cuts for us were expiring year over year, last one expires this year.

I hope this means the next round of protests hits the 10 million people mark.

I hope so too, but they picked July 17, middle of the week. Women’s march decided to still organize protest on July 4th, which is better but still many perks might be out of town (there were more people on April 5 than on 19th for example)

I understand symbolism, but why not be practical?

Also wasn’t the number from June 14 13.14 million?

That’s not what no kings protest showed.

Edit: the source is Twitter post

Edit 2: so after searching the text I found article on Politico mentioning it (they mention Stack Data Strategy, but no link to the pool) also the screenshot conveniently omits the next paragraph

(Another caveat: This poll was in the field for almost three weeks, but ended just before the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that provoked Trump to send in the National Guard. It’s untested how those events affected voters’ views.)

That’s the only sensible thing to do, they are not even hiding about using their resources:

The operations should be assisted by a tough, hard-headed utilization of Russia’s gas, oil, and natural resources to bully and pressure other countries.[9] The book states that “the maximum task [of the future] is the ‘Finlandization’ of all of Europe”.[9]

TACO had the highest ratio of approved appointees, even though he had the most insane ones.

Maybe the next protests should be organized next to their homes.

They had the same at SpaceX
