Following that common sense logic, he was stupid to say he could change things on day one then wasn’t he? Just as long as we are choosing when to be objective and when to abandon reason.

Because if I’m supporting a politician who says he will bring down the cost of things on day one, I would’ve questioned how exactly he plans to do it. With a magic wand?

If he got in and started writing executive orders on day one to bring down prices and prevent price gouging, I’d probably try to forgive him for the gaffe and wait for the effects of his orders to take place.

But no, his first executive orders have nothing to do with improving the cost of things. Instead he’s making people jobless and increasing the cost of living worse than it already is.

Maybe at best we can conclude he’s just talking as usual without any idea what he’s talking about.

Is there actually bird flu?

I checked it out, it has been ongoing since last April yet, someone is blaming trump for not doing anything. Almost one year.
Everything is politics.
Black man. We will learn the usual hard way.

Trump was just asked to clarify Elon’s position at DOGE since a White House official said Elon isn’t an employee of and doesn’t have authority to make any decisions at DOGE. He said

“Elon is to me a patriot. You can call him an employee, a consultant or you can call him whatever you want “

You guys are not embarrassed yet?

Black man. We will learn the usual hard way.

Laboratories in a national network of 58 facilities responding to the spread of bird flu were notified Friday that 25 percent of the staff in a central program office coordinating their work was fired in the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal employees.

USDA’s National Animal Health Laboratory Network program office has a staff of only 14 people, but it plays a major role in responding to animal disease outbreaks. It’s responsible for data management, ensuring that labs across the country are conducting the same tests and following similar protocols to accurately and effectively track animal diseases.

The labs that make up the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians were informed that testing and other responses to the H5N1 outbreak would be slower after the layoff, said Keith Poulsen, director of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.

Yes, and you do a good job of posting misinformed brain dead conspiracies.
Why are you proud of that?

It's an opinion. And one does not believe opinions since that is not what they are intended for.

That said, my opinion is, Ukraine is in a good position and has been since Russia invaded, because Western Europe can not just stand by and do nothing, and haven't. They'd have been in a bad position if they had been Mongolia or Kazakhstan, least as far as Europe is concerned. And to be honest, apart from dump kissing up, I do not really see how Russia's position could be said to be better or even good.

Yeah. Political Bird flu.

Announced by the center for disease CONTROL (not eradication if you weren't listening ).

Birdflu has been on since last year. Almost one yr.
Do the math, sweetie.
He will import eggs into America to cushion the effect of 1 year bird flu or better import 2 months old millions of layers to balance the equation.
Or he can subsidise it.

Biden also said he will not pardon his son. He did the opposite.
Was he just talking as usual?

I always use Nigeria as reference point. Tomorrow,a new president during manifesto will tell us he will make Nigeria great. He enters office and saw what is bigger than him,he has to start somewhere. The most important. When you get the root,others will automatically adjust.

There are alternatives to egg if they are costly, we have so many. If Biden is still in power after slaughtering millions of chicken and egg price soared, I bet none of you guys will say anything.
Nobody will die in America if they don't eat egg.


Besides,the money that will be used to import these eggs and layers is what they are saving. Win win for everybody.

Yep we’re supposed to be clapping for him as he’s rendering hundreds of thousands of Americans jobless from a position that he may or may not occupy under the authority that the white house said he doesn’t have.

But he probably does have since he’s the head but also not a part of department. Are You picking up on how dense you guys are ?

People like you will be studied in years to come. Because this level of brainlessness has never been seen before.



You people sold shame and your souls for the defense of this Buffoon.

One minutes he’s part of DOGE. The next minute he’s not. He’s just advising. The next second he’s the head.

Anything Trump changes the tune to is what goes. The cuckery. EuGH.

A Congress woman has now proposed Trump's birthday as a national holiday. This is the reality of MAGA!

No single bird flu anywhere. Nobody bought the bs.

They may later try again with climate flu or some other sh!t. These niccurs is ridiculous.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement reported by NBC News it mistakingly fired “several” employees assigned to the federal response against the H5N1 bird flu virus, noting it will be “working to swiftly rectify” the firings of the frontline public safety positions monitoring the spreading illness.

Well republicans are on the internet (in their typical believe anything they hear pattern) spreading the news that they’re going to get $8,000 refunds from all the money Elon is saving for them 😃.

Maybe when they don’t get it, that will wake them up? Idk. Those of them regretting their votes all over the internet could be said to be on the verge of a breakthrough but you can’t trust that they won’t chose their hate in favor of communal wellbeing next time.

How can Democrats counter the misinformation to the rest of them?

How do you counter misinformation to someone who believed Trump when he said Elon is the head of DOGE and then turned around to say Elon isn’t a part of it. And said person doesn’t have any questions or concerns but goes along with it?

Is there any sign of a functioning human brain in that equation? They’re are long gone. Mentally compromised.
You just have to wait for the disease to run its course.

Lol. That's good propaganda though.

Absolutely right, you can't trust that people will get it together by 2027.
I think Dems have to acknowledge Republican propaganda is very good.
And I don't think they are ready to engage they way they need to.
Haven't seen any sign of it yet, granted it is still early.

I’ve read about mindfvcked tech-minion hopefuls who are salivating for a technocracy where they serve one tech lord and the only jobs that exist are tech jobs where they code a solution to every problem in the world. And that’s why their first response to everything is “learn to code”. I had an inclination that you were one such mindless minion. Thanks for confirming it.

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.”


Yarvin, a self-described reactionary and extremist who was 35 years old at the time, clarified that he was “just kidding.” But then he continued, “The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass. However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.”

He then concluded that the “best humane alternative to genocide” is to “virtualize” these people: Imprison them in “permanent solitary confinement” where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected to an “immersive virtual-reality interface” so they could “experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.”

Yarvin’s disturbing manifestos have earned him influential followers, chief among them: tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his onetime Silicon Valley protégé Senator J.D. Vance, whom the Republican Party just nominated to be Donald Trump’s vice president.

Trump’s first campaign was undoubtedly a watershed moment for authoritarianism in American politics, but some thinkers on the right had been laying the groundwork for years, hoping for someone to mainstream their ideas. Yarvin was one of them. Way back in 2012, in a speech on “How to Reboot the US Government,” he said, “If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia.” He had also written favorably of slavery and white nationalists in the late 2000s (though he has stated that he is not a white nationalist himself).


Both Thiel and Vance are friends of Yarvin. In The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s Pursuit of Power, reporter Max Chafkin describes Yarvin as the “house political philosopher” of the “Thielverse,” a term for the people in Thiel’s orbit. In 2013, Thiel invested in Tlön, a software startup co-founded by Yarvin. In 2016, Yarvin attended Thiel’s election night party in San Francisco where, according to Chafkin, champagne flowed once it became clear that Thiel’s investment in Donald Trump would pay off.

Since entering politics, Vance has publicly praised—and parroted—Yarvin’s ideas. That was worrying enough when Vance was only a senator. Now that he could soon be a heartbeat away from the presidency, his close ties to Yarvin are more alarming than ever. Superficial analyses of why certain tech billionaires are aligning with Trump tend to fixate on issues like taxes and regulations, but that’s only part of the story. Tech plutocrats like Thiel and Elon Musk already have money. Now they want power—as much as money can buy.

Stories about Vance tend to focus on his hardscrabble Ohio roots, but his relationship with Thiel—and his stint in San Francisco—are key to understanding his politics. Vance owes his meteoric rise to Thiel, who largely bankrolled it. As a Yale Law student in 2011, he heard Thiel give a speech in which he suggested that smart people should be working in tech instead of wasting their time at elite schools. Afterward, Vance emailed Thiel, who invited him to California.

When Vance ran for U.S. Senate in 2022, Thiel spent an unprecedented $15 million on the campaign and persuaded Trump to endorse him (Vance had previously compared Trump to Hitler). In 2024, Thiel led the charge to convince Trump to pick Vance as V.P.

Vance is a Thiel creation. And like his billionaire benefactor—who once wrote, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible”—Vance embraces a radical ideology hell-bent on destroying government as we know it. And they got these ideas, at least in part, from Yarvin.

Yarvin is the chief thinker behind an obscure but increasingly influential far-right neoreaction, or NRx, movement, that some call the “Dark Enlightenment.” Among other things, it openly promotes dictatorships as superior to democracies and views nations like the United States as outdated software systems. Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called “patchworks,” which would be controlled by tech corporations.


Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences—because they’re a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.

Vance has not advocated for realms—yet—but some of his most extreme ideas echo Yarvin. They’re both fond of political purges,

He predicted Trump would run again and win, then offered some advice: “I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.” He added that Trump should defy any court orders that tried to halt this partisan purge of the civil service.

Yarvin calls this plan RAGE: Retire All Government Employees. It’s captured perfectly in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a second Trump administration, which calls for firing an estimated 500,000 federal employees and dismantling entire agencies. If Trump wins, Vance may well be in charge of executing the plan.


Vance did not get this extremist ideology from his Appalachian upbringing or—needless to say—Yale Law. It was incubated in America’s tech capital, San Francisco, where he forged crucial ties with Thiel, Yarvin, and David Sacks, the longtime Thiel associate and pro-Putin crusader who recently hosted a Trump fundraiser at his mansion in Pacific Heights. And if Vance ends up in the White House, it will be with $45 million in monthly campaign contributions from Musk, who already made a $44 billion in-kind contribution by gutting San Francisco-based Twitter and transforming it into a right-wing misinformation weapon.

Somebody that took office on January 20th.
Barely a month

Or you want to argue for argument sake.

If Biden has money to send to Ukraine at the 11th hour, he should equally have money for the farmers he slaughtered their chicken at 11th hour too.

grandstar:
What you're saying makes no sense.

American farmers are compensated for the chickens they cull. As at January 22, 2025, $1.46bn has been paid out as compensation. Farmers are always compensated.

Let's even forget chickens. Trump with his own words said he would start bringing down prices from day one. That is what he said and the opposite is happening!

There's no way prices of food won't keep rising due to absence of farm workers who skip work to prevent being deported. Crops are rottening on the farms. 42% are farm hands in the US are undocumented.

In addition, how can prices fall when you want to slap tariffs on imports? Will the duties not be added to the price? He lied that's its the exporters that patd the price.

I won't argue with you.

Note down these 4 things:

1. Inflation in the US is going to rise.
2. Job losses will commence by the third quarter
3. By the fourth quarter at the most, a downturn in the economy would have commenced.
4. Mass protests against Trump in all 50 states would begin in earnest by the fourth quarter at worst.
6. It would be a miracle if Trump lasts more than 2 years in office. He will be impeached. He would definitely be impeached.
