what “help”? We are purchasing these eggs. Unlike everyone else who demands free stuff.

That’s still help. They don’t have to sell to the U.S.

What happened to MAGA’s idea of the US being self-sufficient?

Shouldn’t they be refusing foreign help?

Oh…what’s that? International cooperation is actually HELPFUL?

Shocking!

Ah lovely. More blatant corruption.

Wonder if we’ll ever get back to normalcy again?

But sadly, until MAGA is stamped out, the circus rolls on…

Shame on the US and Israel.

Good. Let it all come crashing down.

Just goes to show that no matter how much you try to kiss up to Trump, he’ll 100% stab you in the back due to some misinformation, perceived slight due to fragile ego, or lack of actual knowledge/understanding.

Time for other countries to let him and MAGA feel what it’s like to truly be isolated, as they claim they want.

Once they see how it brings down the country, there’ll be a mass revolt against this wannabe dictator and we can start getting back to real democracy.

Lol. MAGA found out, and now they wanna backpedal.

What’s the matter? This is exactly what you wanted! Commit to it.

You lost your job and are soon to lose even more. Own it.

How crazy is it that Putin has so easily manipulated Donald Trump into doing every single thing Putin wanted? His biggest threat just rolled over and now sits on his lap.

Even worse than that, he’s successfully manipulated right-wingers into being Pro-Russia and to vote against their self-interest.

Goff said nothing wrong and shame on the NZ government for firing him because of that.

So, while Democrats brood, Trump is forging ahead. How’s that call for unity holding up now?

Quotation marks on that passage you added, might have helped. Sounded like it was some Chat GPT response. But also, that passage was a whole lot of cheerleading for Trump and no actual substance.

Like others have rightfully pointed out, Trump pays lip-service to the farmers while kneecapping them and then he has to pay them back for their losses with taxpayer money.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration took real action to help out farmers. They definitely could have done a better job touting those accomplishments, but the fact remains that they did more for US farmers.

The Republican party uses culture-war issues and lip service to pull the wool over farmers eyes, yet again, because that’s all they can do to get elected. Sadly, it worked and now more damage is gonna be done to farmers.

Ahhh, love starting off the morning with great news.

Yes, bear with him while he uses the backs of farmers to prop up his billionaire cronies and stroke his fragile ego.

Hardly surprising from Trump.

Trump: “You better do whatever I want or else I’m gonna count to 3…”

Everyone else: “Try it and we’ll fight back.”

Trump: “1…2……”

Everyone else: puts on gloves and raises fists

Trump: nervously “…2 and a haaalfff….”

show us where the provision to “eliminate Medicaid” was in the resolution, you can’t

Here you go.

And one more just for extra info to address your point, not trying to over-link:

“Although the budget resolution does not mention Medicaid specifically, lawmakers would be hard pressed to find cuts sufficient enough to meet its targets without touching Medicare or Medicaid. If the Energy and Commerce Committee — the committee tasked with finding $880 billion in savings — cut everything that’s not healthcare-related, the committee would still be short $600 billion, according to the New York Times.”

Honda has announced plans to produce more of its goods in the U.S. as a result of these tariffs.

…

Why isn't that fact being mentioned here?

Probably because it’s not officially announced. It’s cited but not officially announced in this Reuters article.

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/honda-produce-next-civic-indiana-not-mexico-due-us-tariffs-sources-say-2025-03-03/

Also, within the article, it says “the model has been made in Indiana since 2008”

Like it or not, we’re all dependent on one another. You can’t runaway from the world and just shut yourself off. The fact is, everyone does better when we cooperate with each other. So anti-globalists just end up hurting themselves when they run away.

A good leader has long term vision and is not afraid of prices going up. He will lead the people to make sacrifices for the good of U.S. manufacturing and trade. Unfortunately, the term is only four years. To carry out this endeavor requires a longer period of time.

Suddenly, right wingers aren’t afraid of prices going up? Oh but it’s because it’s under Trump now, and they’ll follow along with whatever the Dear Leader says. Gotta love the consistency.

Unilateral, unprovoked war of aggression by Putin.

Doing my part to spread the truth.

can they also pay Zelensky a couple billion and provide him the security guarantees on behalf of us too? he supposedly has some minerals for you. 

Security for Ukraine means security for the US too.

But sure, keep cheering for the downfall of the US.

Quit the fake act, MAGA. Everyone sees right through it. Neither Trump nor MAGA stand for peace at all. They stand for authoritarianism and conquest.

So embarassing for the US that all these other actual leaders in the world have to try to do damage control on behalf of Big Baby Trump.

At least others can see that the real American people actually stand with Ukraine and will stand against Putin.

It’s way past time we start calling Trump, his supporters, and any who kiss his ring, what they really are: anti-American. They don’t represent American values, and they are actively destroying the country.

America is supposed to be the beacon of democracy and we are supposed to protect oppressed people. We are supposed to stand up to dictators and defend our allies. That’s what our heroes died for in World War II. Instead Trump tries to extort Zelensky and praises the dictator Putin, who is the aggressor. What kind of world are we living in where MAGA, who claim to love America and democracy, cheer this kind of thing on?

Final point: why don’t MAGA understand that you can’t hide from the world? You can never insulate yourself from the rest of the planet. No one is self-sustaining, and no one is immune from effects around the world. Maybe you think letting Putin have Ukraine will solve your problem now, but what happens when he attacks you next? You’ll be wishing you did something earlier. And that’s the point of supporting Ukraine. Throw in support now, so the monster doesn’t become strong enough in the future to cause bigger problems for us later. That’s what Zelenskyy tried to tell us. And that’s what support for Ukraine buys us. It’s an investment in our own future security.

Ah yes. The country that purports to represent “Christian values”, is going to take the side of the aggressor in this war. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

America, you’re really doing a great job turning everyone against you. And as much MAGA might think they’ll love it when they’re isolated, it really won’t be as great as they think.

article hits them with facts.

MAGA really doesn’t like it when the mirror is held up to them, do they?

Glad this

Unbelievable how easily Putin has manipulated Donald Trump and MAGA. Everyone already knows Donald is a moron, so that’s nothing new. But MAGA self-proclaims that they have “guts” and full of “real men”. Yet they’ll bow down to Putin so easily and fall in line to whatever Trump or any other authoritarian says.

Both domestically and abroad, they don’t even bother hiding the fact that they now embrace authoritarianism. MAGA can drape themselves in as many American flags they want but the truth is, they don’t actually represent American values.

Tsk, “patriots”. What a load of BS.

We aren't anything close to that, thank the lord

Certainly sounds like what the left has been saying this whole time! Congrats!!

That argument has been used against you numerous times whenever you claimed to be a ‘free speech absolutist’. 

Done a complete 180 again. Well, it took you long enough. How long will it last?

Don’t worry, logic and consistency aren’t qualities that MAGA have. Doesn’t make sense trying to find logic where there is none. All that matters is falling in line with the God-king’s talking points.

Anyways, back to the article. Kanye should honestly just keep quiet at this point and disappear from the spotlight completely.

even freedom of speech has it's limits,

Wow!! I didn’t know MAGA were actually such leftists!

the difference is, in the general rule of conversation as a matter of discourse, you should be allowed to say whatever you want provided it is not antagonistic with purposeful and vitriolic demeaning threats.

Hmmmm…now who can we think of that has done something like this…? Any guesses?

Can’t make this stuff up, y’all.

Typical of MAGA to fall for Trump’s blustering.

Mexico did nothing they haven’t already done before. And Canada makes up such a tiny portion of the fentanyl flowing into the US.

Meanwhile, most of the fentanyl being brought into the US is smuggled in by US citizens through regular points of entry. So as usual, Trump, MAGA, and the Republican party only care about optics. They don’t actually care to take meaningful steps to solve problems, they only care how they look.

They cause chaos and collateral damage by causing a problem, then pretend like they succeeded in fixing, when they just got the same old deal. But hey, as long as it looks good, right?

You’ll hear from the right-wing stooges that Trump is such a genius for setting up a game of chicken and “winning”. But MAGA really doesn’t understand that this panic does actually cause damage to US citizens. Canada and Mexico avoided the tariffs and protected their citizens (and US citizens) by giving Trump something he already had. And Trump was dumb enough to say “Look! I won!”

Genius.
