The foundations of American conservative ideology has morphed into distrust of government. Washington, no all forms of government are nothing but a parasite upon the freedoms of Americans for them. The government doesn't function, politicians who are from the other side are all corrupt. This is unique to US conservatives. It has swung from 90% who trusted the government to handle domestic issues in 2002 to 17% who trust it today, twenty years later. G.W. Bush was the president in 1991 when the percentage of government spending as a percentage of the economy(gdp) was 36%.. Last year it was 36%. Its too bad that propaganda has blinded you to facts.

VVVVVVVVVV See below to discover the truth. VVVVVVV Yes whacked out cultists are common to both. Once again SC has shown trump loving posters here that they miss the essence of conservative thinking.

Lady Liberty keeps her blindfold on as she cries for the state of American justice. A rich White guy with 78.75 million shares of DJT stock sits $10 a share richer this morning alone than he did yesterday afternoon. She sees his new grifting of bibles, shoes, etc. to prey upon the weak minded cultists that whoreship him. He has figured out how to milk the cows dry. How to laugh at judgements and sanctions. Now recognizing what a lifetime of scamming the system has taught him.

Sorry you're wrong. It stands for Donald and Jesus, Triumph. His new God Bless the USA bibles were created because the bible is his favorite book according to his website. "Make America pray again" is the logo. Get yours for only $59.99 and let Donald help you save your soul.

trump has succeeded again. Trump Media lost $49 million in the first nine months of last year, with $3.4 million in revenue. Its stock is trading today and trump's net worth is up $900 million based upon the trading price today. His golden gift from Jeffrey Yass is now valued at $3.9 billion. The listing on his stock DJT. Presumably his MAGA base wants to be shareholders with him and all get rich together.

2023 sets another record in teen shootings "The total number of fatal shootings involving teenagers rose sharply in Florida and across the U.S. in 2020, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, dipping in 2021 before rising again in 2022 and reaching a new high in 2023. Much of the violence is clustered in densely populated areas like South Florida." A quote from a law firm eh? Why not use real facts? I guess if you want to wear the MAGA hat and stand next to DeSantis b.s. from an imaginary lawyer will work. Last year DeSantis was also called out for making false statements about gun violence in Florida.

Philadelphia area billionaire Jeffrey Yass’ firm was the largest institutional shareholder as of December in the company that has merged with Truth Social, former President Donald Trump’s social media company. "The biggest donor in this U.S. election cycle is Jeffrey Yass, a libertarian trading firm owner who started off as a professional poker player and is now a major investor in TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance. Philadelphia-based Yass has donated more than $46 million to Republican causes so far in the 2024 election cycle, data from political donations tracker OpenSecrets shows." Five days after meeting Yass trump did his U-turn on banning TicToc Selling the presidency has already benefited trump to the tune of $3 billion and the election is still months away. Yass owns $21 billion in ByteDance and TicToc stock.

Putin's FSB, the propaganda network for Putin. Has just come out stating that the terrorists were trying to flee to Ukraine. The GOP will soon endorse the idea that IS and the Nazi's in Ukraine are political relatives.

The Teflon Don has done it again. His media merger has gone ahead which puts $300 million cash into his Trump Media company and $3 billion in paper profits into his name. This on the same week where he was rewarded for: U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case in Florida. "Some commentators have described Cannon’s order as 'unusual.' I would use words like wacko, crazy, loony, nutty, ridiculous, and outlandish, and my terms are probably understatements," Bennett Gershman, a Pace University law professor and former New York prosecutor, told Salon. Rewarded again for his partizan judicial appointments.

Donald Trump and the GOP successfully trawling for imbeciles every hour of every day.

Well..... sort of. In Brent's case he was ripped off. But hey all of trump's students at Trump U were ripped off. Bernie Madoff's clients were ripped off. Brent went to school as a genuine student eager to learn. You shouldn't blame the victim for how it all turned out. John went to the most prestigious which was expensive. Sometimes saving money isn't all its cracked up to be.

Also know as Real GDP growth. Real GDP defined as growth factored for inflation. The US chart here. Which of course shows the only real dip when trump was president His presidential term of Real GDP pictured below. Brent I know you try your best and its appreciated. But is it not too late for a refund?

He should get something for the $76 million in legal fees he has spent of GOP money over the last two years.

A people that loves lies more than truths. A people that laughs at indecency, insults and the vulnerable. A people that worships Caligula more than Lincoln. Should the people not get what they deserve?

Why the big hullabaloo? trump is going to cut taxes on Jet-A.and is bringing in free trade with Russia. Come 2025 all that cheap Russian Jet-A will flood the US. If only those pesky Ukrainian drones will leave the refineries alone.

I was wondering if Orban, trump and Putin have started discussions on how Ukraine should be divided up? Soon trump will be rounding up his political enemies. Non-Christians, liberals, etc. will be herded off:

Tesla stock and a strawman for looks. You're in the wrong camp Joe. With big cuts coming to the FBI and IRS. A fully weaponized justice department and a court that has sidetracked the previously precious and worshiped constitution. There is big money to be made and even Mitch McConnell is onboard.

Excellent summary.

Well not necessarily; Canada had 1.2 million immigrants last year. "Canada is caught in a “population trap” for the first time in modern history and needs to limit immigration to escape it, say economists with the National Bank of Canada. A population trap, according to Oxford dictionary, is when the population is growing so fast that all available savings are needed to maintain the existing capital–labour ratio, making any increase in living standards impossible." The federal government is now forced to allocate money for housing rather than measures that contribute directly to GDP growth. “Indeed, third-quarter GDP data came in below economists’ consensus expectations, showing outright contraction, notably due to a drop in private domestic demand.” “Consumption stagnated for the second quarter in a row, a stinging setback in the current demographic context characterized by record population increases.” The recalculated GDP per capita is at an annualized contraction of 4.4% during the third quarter. Domestic demand is now the main concern for business owners in Canada."

and the courts they deserve.

The whole world has and is instituting carbon controls, plastic use restrictions and measures to preserve the environment. With Europe leading those efforts. Why not be honest about these measures. Its an Ah! Ha! moment every time you can post here something that runs counter to those ideals.

Yes

Surrounded by enemies, not paying his bills, suing everyone around him and running our of money. Not surprising he is associated now with trump and getting cash from trump.

Two days later a Russian pro-war blogger made a big mistake by posting about Russian losses in the taking of Avdiivka last Monday. He posted that Russia had lost 16,000 men and 300 armored vehicles. He immediately started receiving threats from the Russian military command and Kremlin propagandists. He took down the postings right away. But fell out of a window anyway a day later. trump upon hearing that Putin had eliminated three traitors and critics in one week. Threw a Big Mac against the wall and blamed Biden for how Putin was now stronger than him.

Conservatives will cheer that they both exercised their rights to self defense.After all 185 dead residents of Kansas city can testify to the justice of guns in 2023 alone Last year in Denver when Nuggets fans celebrated the NBA championship win. Twenty rounds were fired, ten wounded and five guns seized after the shootout
