let us even assume all you wrote here are true, which of the billionaires had an important official position like DOGE under Democrats? Okay maybe one or two did, tell me how many of them openly threatened members of parliament of being primaried if they don't dance to the tune of the executives as did Musk?
So of all the billionaire influence for decades, where you draw the line is DOGE?
You are worried about Elon threat of primarying candidates but not Soros actual act of installing politicians and even judges.
Mayor Bloomberg has been donating money to install politicians into offices for years, that one no concern you.
Zuckerberg has been using his money to install politicians into office for years that one no concern you
Its about Elon threat that worries you. You dont need to tell me where your bias lies

ObaIgwe1:
You keep comparing this Trump with Trump-45, it will soon be cleared from your eyes, that this Trump-47 is on a revenge mission and has more venom in him... Some of us are already seeing the difference. Besides this is his 2nd and last term, even if he succeeds in changing the constitution to get a 3rd term, he has no guardrail or any reason to check the consequences of his actions.
We are not buying into the fear tactics which is why more black people more minorities openly support Trump 47 now more than at 45, Even rappers that used to openly curse him were going to sing at his inauguration because everyone has seen the media lies for what it is, Everything they say about Trump is a projection of themselves. Revenge mission against who? Is he on a revenge mission against America or Americans or what?
Like Biden said many weeks ago before he changed his mind, "Why should I be scared when I didn't commit any offence". If he is able to follow the process and get a constitution change then what is wrong with it? Is that not the point of Democracy? And if that is done, will he be the one to rule and enjoy the 3rd term 5th term forever? He is 78yrs currently how many 5th term can he enjoy alive? This is where you are allowing the media to play you

ObaIgwe1:
Don't worry Dayo, like nateevs wrote, if it doesn't reach your doorsteps it will surely get to a bus stop near you, and you will continue to defend Trump even while you groan under. When a white boy you trained at work is made your boss just because you are black, you will just chest it as one of Trump's campaign promises. When many of your close friends or relatives in US are relieved of their jobs and still find it difficult to get another job in the name of removing DEI for merit, you will not feel the pain na... Trump is only keeping his words... When those Dreamers close to you are rounded up and sent by midnight bus to Mexico as Mexico is now accepting non Mexican deportee, you will surely not feel it - As we say in Naija, Las las na everybody go chop breakfast, Tim Scott don chop his own he don keep quiet... Na turn by turn. My prayer is: May God in His infinite power protect those who did their best for Trump-47 not to happen.
All these scare tactic don't work, I think you should find a different method, you tried all these in 2016 and nothing came out of it. The last election is the best I have seen in a long time where 2 candidates who have been in office have the opportunity to campaign based on their time in office. People chose the one whose time was more favorable.

What happened to Tim Scott? all these lies. Did Scott complain to you that something is happening to him? Or you are just crying more than the bereaved

We expect more hoaxes, more fake stories of how black and minorities are being targeted to come out, We expect more Jussie Smollets to be in training and be reporting per second what whites are doing to them. The same whites they've lived with for years, gone to school with, inter married with without problems, The same whites who voted a Black man twice are suddenly your enemies. And you think that is normal?
Americans of all colors voted for trump-47, so why shouldn't it happen to them?

You need to go slow. You need to understand that I'm glad Trump won, more elated when he finally took the oath .
As to eggs prices Kamala would by now be setting the retail prices blaming food processors.
Everyone promises the moon when they want to get hired/elected into a position.
Unfortunately this egg prices is a diversion to other policies being implemented but you are making it a big issue.
Enjoy you water California, Trump has sent the military to pump more water for California.
The egg and grocery prices will stabilize eventually. Investors are more likely to inject capital into an economy when they are sure the govt at hand is intent on tackling inflation and cutting govt largese.
Relax, the best is yet to come. Look at the bigger picture.

Wetin Tim go talk? let him talk and get insult upon his complaint na, baba is nursing his wound jeje in silence.

Simply Incredible Executive Order

Trump is seeing how big of a dictator he can be.
He's scuttling the Constitution and the defined roles of the Executive and Congress.
Unfortunately, this Congress doesn't seem interested in stopping him.

White House pauses federal grants and loans
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c77rdy6gzy5o

Look at these mealy mouth statements from the Democrats.
Trump won because though Democrats had the factual and legal ground on most issues they treated it like an Oxford Debate.
They need to get it together and soon.

"The scope of what you are ordering is breathtaking, unprecedented, and will have devastating consequences across the country," the congresswomen wrote. "We write today to urge you in the strongest possible terms to uphold the law and the Constitution and ensure all federal resources are delivered in accordance with the law."

The Democratic minority leader of the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, was also critical of the pause: "Congress approved these investments and they are not optional; they are the law."

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 4:14pm On Jan 28, 2025
I have to admit, even I wasn't prepared for how lawless this administration would be and the potential devastation his actions could have.
I also assumed Democrats would have prepared how they would push back.
Trump pausing all aid and loans is going to directly affect A ton of Trump supporters as their states derive a lot of their budget from Federal Assistance
Even I'm shocked at the casual disregard for the level of Chaos that will ensue.


Can Trump Cancel Government Funds Through Impoundment? What To Know As He Pauses All Federal Assistance.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2025/01/28/can-trump-cancel-government-funds-through-impoundment-what-to-know-as-he-pauses-all-federal-assistance/

How Could The Supreme Court Rule On Impoundment?
The dispute over the Impoundment Control Act and whether Trump can take action against congressionally approved funds could be ultimately decided by the Supreme Court—potentially within weeks, if legal action is taken over Monday’s memo. The Supreme Court previously ruled against Nixon’s use of impoundment in the 1975 case Train v. City of New York, a dispute over Nixon withholding funding toward water treatment, though the court noted in its ruling that the Impoundment Control Act was passed while the case was pending and the court’s ruling didn’t impact it and wasn’t affected by it. In an opinion years later in the case Clinton v. City of New York, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, “President Nixon, the Mahatma Gandhi of all impounders, asserted at a press conference in 1973 that his ‘constitutional right’ to impound appropriated funds was ‘absolutely clear.’ … Our decision two years later in Train v. City of New York proved him wrong.” (He noted Congress can authorize the president to cancel funds, as the Impoundment Control Act allows.) It remains to be seen how the current 6-3 conservative court could come down on the issue, however, though Vladeck wrote he’s skeptical even the current court—which includes three Trump appointees and has been deferential to the president in the past—would be willing to uphold Trump’s broad spending cuts. “It’s one thing to believe that the President must have unitary control of the executive branch,” Vladeck wrote, pointing to the court’s ruling giving Trump some legal immunity, but “it’s quite another to believe that such control extends to the right to refuse to spend any and all money Congress appropriates.”

Can you show evidence of where Tim Scott was promised Senate leadership? This is an example of the fake news we are talking about, Just make up stuff and now say it didnt happen

Show any news headline that show Scott being promised any leadership. Senators pick their own leaders. The current Senate leader was not even MAGA choice. MAGA and Trump people wanted Rick Scott

So everyone bearing Scott is Tim Scott? This is really embarrassing. Despite you quoting a post where I said RICK Scott was one of the final 3. You think Tim Scott and Rick Scott are the same person grin grin cheesy cheesy

So Bola Tinubu and Wale Tinubu are the same person?

This is the link you posted from and they stated clearly there that its Rick Scott, Have you taken time to google and see the picture of Rick Scott?

This is the type of fake news that you get yourself riled up about. So you would have been telling people around you that Trump denied Tim Scott a place on Senate leadership because he is black when it was actually a white guy named Rick Scott who lost

#factsoverfiction

Confidence among U.S. consumers weakened for a second-straight month, reflecting retreating optimism of both current and future conditions at the start of President Trump’s second term and expectations that inflation will rise again.

The index of consumer sentiment published by the Conference Board, a research group, fell 5.4 points to 104.1, it said Tuesday, worse than the 106.0 expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.

If California was its own country it'd have the 5th biggest GPD in the world.
Yet the majority of the Republican states are bottom in most metrics including GDP in the US.
Yet, somehow MAGA who manage their states to be the bottom of the barrel would do a better job than those who have managed their states to the 5th largest GDP?

Reasoning like MAGA requires you to first repeatedly slam your head against a wall.
