Bonus points to Trump on her arrest and removal. Not only did he bag a bad actor foreign national but the reason she got bagged was that the feds are actively investigating/acting upon antisemitism on campuses and she got caught in the crosshairs. So there are two issues there, neither of which any of these scumbags needed to worry about under Biden. I wonder if she will be publicly protesting against Chinese brutalities against the Uyghurs when she gets back to China. I am going with "NO" for $500 Alex. Although Mr. Trump's hands are full right now, I nevertheless expect him to wake up some morning in the next month or two and, BAM, he has banned the purchase of American land, especially farmland, and land near sensitive military facilities by the Chinese. BOOM! Try buying some farmland in China. Or a piece of land down the road from a Chinese missile site. Crazy shit has gone on too long.
Trump is entering a period where he will take hits for stepping up to what must be done. Dems will savor it because they don't have anything else going on. No leader or vision or platform in their party. They are lost in space. Just remember though, that while they will be savoring the hits on Trump, that Dems are polling so low that they need to look up to see the bottom of the toilet bowl. If Trump loses some points and they gain some, that will still be true. Also, polling is shit. They consistently poll higher than they actually get on election days. Democrats hammered by ugly unpopularity numbers The Democratic Party is the most unpopular it's been in polling that dates back to 2008, according to a new survey from Quinnipiac University. https://www.axios.com/2025/01/30/democrats-popularity-trump-poll-2024
Mates, let's show some compassion for Mark Milley. No one likes to see a grown woman cry. "One recently retired general noted to Military.com that Milley is "as radioactive as it gets."

IF they are, which is a massive leap of logic you don't possess, then they'll just say "we were right, see?" But if they aren't, what will Liberals say? You'll likely all forget what you claimed and then, years from now, deny you ever claimed it. That's how you operate.
Trump put pressure on Mexico by implementing tariffs. Now, Mexico and Trump arrive at a very good arrangement to postpone the tariffs for a month. Thank you Mr. Trump. Thank you. And thank you Mexico. It is good to start answering to someone other than the cartels, at least once in a while for starters. Try it out. Mr. Trump will reward you for that. Next up, Canada. Start making a good offer. Trump pauses Mexico tariffs for one month after agreement on border troops President Donald Trump said that he is pausing for one month a new 25% tariff on goods entering the United States from Mexico after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to immediately send 10,000 soldiers to her country’s border to prevent drug trafficking.
Or maybe next time you'll lose your "red state" job and your employer provided medical care that went along with it. Attaching medical care to employment is a great way to trap employees, but not so great if you're laid off, causing you to lose access to affordable medical care if you're in a red state. Trump Fascists went to court to allow individual states to opt out of medicaid expansion. Universal expansion of medicaid was a requirement included in the ACA as passed. The Fascists and the Democrats read the Bill. Both knew expansion was an essential feature of the ACA. The Fascists knew they could severely weaken, if not destroy, the ACA after it was signed into law if they could block medicaid expansion and somehow get rid of the insurance mandate. They did both of these things by different routes. The insurance mandate was put into the Bill to gain health insurers' support of the ACA. This feature promised to increase insurance company profits by expanding the pool of healthy younger participants that would be required to buy insurance. This was put into the ACA Bill to compensate Insurance companies for being required to accept those with pre-existing conditions at the same premium as the healthy, and thus gain their support of the Bill. . In the final analysis, there can be no question that had the Obama Administration been able to pass the ACA as originally envisioned with the public option included, it would have transformed U.S. medical care into something far better than what we have now and at least approaching the best care available in other advanced countries; countries where everyone has access to high quality, routine medical care at affordable costs. Instead, the white nationalist fascist party and the insurance industry worked together, not to create anything good, but to destroy the ACA and protect their profits while producing our present day U.S. Healthcare Nightmare. No one can tell you what anything costs, or why, until a bill arrives. Then we know what the cost is, and at least some of us know why. The non-existence of reasonable healthcare in the U.S. is the reason young Americans should give serious consideration to emigrating.
This is decidedy untrue. The Mandate survived a court test. Medicaid expansion survived, but not as an absolute requirement. The Court's 5-4 ruling was based on strained Constitutional arguments. Obviously, there is no way anyone could be certain of how that case would be decided. And it's equally obvious that the framers of the Bill, as finally passed, thought it would hold up to a Court challenge or they wouldn't have bothered. There was a huge amount of man hours that went into this massive Bill. No one would go through that if "they knew [the ACA] wouldn't hold up at SCOTUS."
