Trump thinking he can talk Russia into peace is stupid at this point.

WTF is "I am disappointed in Putin"
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 7:18pm On Jul 04, 2025
New York times just falls short of admitting that Venezuelan gangs had taken over apartments in Aurora and in other cities. When Trump raised the matter democrats denied that what people were seeing with their own eyes was not true.

In other words we lied .

Mamdani explains how to solve the housing crisis. Video from 2021



To go further toward the Vienna model, we have to go beyond the market. We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership. We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale. And we can fully commit to a new era of social housing, ending subsidies for luxury housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high-quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone. We won’t decommodify housing overnight, but we know what we have to.

When as mayor he starts buying up private housing, he will obviously not allow inbestments in real estate.
Communism doesn't get better. Housing controlled by the govt.
Letitia James who chets on her mortgage refinance to be the overseer.
Not forgetting he is proposing a 4 year rent freeze. This will definitely kill and bury investments.
"The countries with the highest percentages of public housing in Europe are the Netherlands (30%), Austria (24%), Norway (23%), and Denmark (20%). These nations significantly surpass the EU average of 9.3% for public housing provision."

Which of these countries is communist?

Everything is communism to the right wingers except when it’s time to use public funds to prop up billionaires who hate paying their workers enough to survive on 🙄

That's not the only message .
So much from him showing his socialist beliefs tending to communism has been in the public last few weeks. Maybe I should consolidate everything about him in one post whenever I come across anything new?
If it looks like a duck walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.

Trump suggested he be investigated. Two top democrats crawled out of the woodworks lending him support. Hakeem Jefferies and Gov Hochul. Mamdani is the face of the Democrat Party today . The far left socialist cum Marxist cum Communist agitators.. This stench when well crafted will ensure Republicans retain the House and Senate.
Why he is a communist ...

Point noted. Govts are solely judged on being communist if they provide public housing or not That's the only condition.
Take this to the bank. Mamdani is a socialist tending to communist.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Another Reason to hate Obama.

In 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the second phase of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for model years 2017–2025. These standards aimed to increase the fleet-wide average fuel economy for passenger cars and light trucks to 54.5 mpg by 2025, nearly doubling the 2010 average of 27.5 mpg.

Failure to achieve there was a fibe.
Rate: The fine was $5.50 per 0.1 mpg shortfall per vehicle sold, calculated based on the difference between the manufacturer's fleet average and the CAFE target for that model year. This penalty rate was established under the original CAFE program and adjusted over time.

The penalties applied to model years starting in 2017, with the requirements progressively increasing through 2025 to reach the 54.5 mpg target. Fines were assessed annually based on each manufacturer's fleet performance for a given model year.



This was just Insanity. Only hybrid cars can achieve that. A manufacturer selling 100,000 new cars rated at 50 mpg would be fined &25 million in Dec 2025.

The OBBB has set the fine to $0. Car manufacturers ought to be happy. They don't need to be forced to go electric , or make their cars more expensive .
Literally the target was to control the transportation sector. More govt in people's lives.

They can’t help themselves though. They’ll get sucked into carrying on the next propaganda fielded to them, while their representatives and senators vote away everything that makes life worth living to them.
I'm so looking forward the midterms and next election. How they are going to campaign on increased deficit, cuts on stuff that benefited poor/low income etc

My prayers is they should not weaken our military and technology power.

Hope you are having a nice July 4th weekend!

So much winning for me and the country

You notice that all those worried about Stock market have been shut up
Gas prices are low

And the BBB is so much winning.
It made the 2017 tax cut permanent
SALT deductions increased from $10k to $40k which affects your property tax deductions
No tax on overtime and tips

You see it's focused on keeping more money in the hand of Americans

I am almost telling Trump that this is so much winning but he wont let us be he just wants us to keep winning more and more

And this too.

American baby born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will receive a $1,000–seeded tax‑deferred “Trump Account.”

Parents can add up to $5,000 annually, invested in low‑cost U.S. index funds, to support college, homeownership, or entrepreneurship.

they’ll simply blame it on dems as usual. They don’t need a playbook. The one they have has been working on their mindless horde of followers. I don’t need to take accountability for what I did to you. I simply have to tell you it’s someone else’s fault. You go fight then and I keep on doing it grin

They’re such dunces. Socialism for the elites and capitalism for the rest of us. I thought the mark of a true capitalist is that they provide capital and take all the risks for the business?

But our American capitalists, get govt fund to boost their businesses, make stupid decisions and get bailed out by our taxes when they are failing. To “preserve the economy”.

But the person making $55k a year yet can’t afford to live decently is a leech for asking for affordable healthcare and childcare. Or the 65 year old retired teacher who can’t work anymore is a lazy bum for expecting a good retirement. They’re so brainwashed against what’s best for them. It is pathetic to watch.

Many of them in support of cutting Medicaid don’t even know they are on Medicaid themselves because their state has a different name for it. It’s Obamacare vs affordable healthcare act all over again. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Flooding in Texas kills over 30 people with many still missing. Trump has gutted environmental protection programs and early warning systems. Services are sparse.

FEMA is defunded per the request of red states (who BTW have more natural disasters) just because they’re mad immigrants get help too. They’d rather suffer too than live with the possibility of FEMA helping immigrants.

Unfortunately these deceased and missing people might not have had anything to do with these decisions but they’re suffering it just like everyone else. Sad all around

Do these dense Texas officials somehow expect local weather services to function without the funds and the essential government staff that Elon musk fired? Elon was saving them money (so I heard). But at what cost?

We literally told them people would die because these are life saving services. But they said it’s waste and fraud. Insultingly asking govt officials to check in everyday and list 5 things they have done.

They may not do 5 things everyday but the one day that they do do something, they save dozens if not hundreds of lives.

These are the worst of the worst according to Trump. Deserving of alligator and python terrorism.

He can’t find enough so called terrible immigrants to deport that he’s having to go to jobs & court houses to snatch people for deportation. I thought immigrants are leeches who don’t work but depend on handouts? Why are they going to jobs to find them?

What about going to immigration hearings to snatch people speaks positively about wanting people to “do it the right way”?

This is an aside, but I saw this study and thought of Ibime and his "soyboy" comments.
What I found hilarious about the comments is that most of the guys I know who are super health conscience are the most successful, disciplined in fact, gully(slang) people I know. Successful because it takes 1.) extreme amounts of discipline and 2.) a non conformist attitude to not give a shit what people think to pull it off.
I was vegan for 2 years and it was very hard.
People should really challenge their preconceptions .

Vegetarians Crave Power And Success More Than Meat Eaters Do, Study Finds

In a nutshell
What’s new: A new study challenges stereotypes by showing vegetarians score higher on values like power, achievement, and stimulation than meat-eaters do.
Key finding: Vegetarians care less about benevolence, security, and conformity, but place more importance on personal success and standing apart from the crowd.
Why it matters: The research suggests vegetarianism is linked more to independence and non-conformity than just compassion for animals or the environment.
