Its not anti people to remove people who take avantage of the system. Its actually pro peple to let those who actually need the services get them
Explain to me how children who were taken off SNAP and senior citizens who were taken of Medicare/Medicaid/meals on wheels were taking advantage of the system.

Entitlement programs is the biggest drain in public finance go and do the research

Its not anti people to ask how you will pay for something.

you can scream feed everyone all you want but the part of logic will always ask how do you plan to pay for it
Tell me then the benefit of senseless wars.. tell me..

Monies that should rather have been used to provide healthcare for american citizens.

Please tell me what can be more satisfying and pro-human than providing healthcare coverage for all (especially children and old folks) in the US.?

Pdf because you said so? That's a TDS
Trump is a pdf.. soon you’d have no choice but to accept it..

Just as you are gradually accepting reality that your god and personal savior is a renowned sex offender.. also a felon.

I will lead you into acknowledging his pdf status soon.
And ahhh he is also a grifter.. remember the closure of his organizations accounts by capital One after anti-money laundering probe ?

I will help you get there soon.. since you’ve decided to be a die hard worshipper.. I will test how far you can go with your resilience for a criminal and an immoral man like Trump..

Oga, you know. You saw the many posts from us months before he was forced to drop out.

You only said Dems did the right thing because you were called out. And even that statement was still a deflection to criticize Republicans.
I didn’t know Platner.. never posted him or talked about him as someone I like or know..never worshipped him..

The moment I knew about him I condemned him immediately.. I don’t waste time dancing around sex offenders..

I gain nothing from them..

Trump is a open book.

You went and dig up a republican I don't know of... Shouted how her son or his son is a child abuser. I briefly looked into it. The kid is a problem child, the alleged child abuse is on a 17 years old while he was 18.

I my book that's not child abuse but ok. He took video of him having sex with her. I don't know if both consent to that but never take vids when doing such act.

Trump is all that but you only care because it is trump. If it is someone from the Dem party, you would not care.

Trump is accused or sexual abuse, I give you that, PDF is a lie proving my point that you don't care about the truth.
So been a confirmed sex offender (not just being accused) is not enough for you to stop your incessant worship?

You called for that boy to be locked up.. but for Trump, he should be exonerated.. infact he should be declared innocent.

Shey you see yourself?

Trump is a pdf..

Just relax, we will get there..

No. republicans think money supply for useless things is endless. That all they have to do is tax the citizens and spend it on useless wars that don’t benefit anyone except the oligarchs who get rich off of war business.

If American taxes funded American lives, almost everyone would be comfortable just based off the taxes already being paid. There wouldn’t even be any need to increase taxes.

All that’s needed is redirecting taxes to benefit those who pay it. But conservative voters are so weak minded they’ve been convinced that using their own money that they pay in taxes to give them a good society is communism.

Y’all are an embarrassment to people who seek to build a society with you, because you keep being the weak links that terrible people use to gain traction in society against the best interests of everyone else.

They know all they have to do is give you guys a sound bite or culture war to focus on and you lose site of what’s actually important in life and society.
And these are the same miscreants asking how conservatives are anti people.. very annoying and useless question they like to ask..

What more can be anti people than using tax payers monies meant for the people and by the people for senseless war adventures? Wars that add no value or benefit to the American people..

Your comments would be better placed in context if you provide how much taxes are spent per person in America versus Europe.

This is the human being that is pushing the save act. The same person who wants to undermine the integrity of the US election framework.. the same platform on which he won twice to be president..

A president fighting against the American constitution.. madness and silliness..

NYT article posted mentioned an investigation of Trump being a Russian agent was sidetracked in 2017.

Total lies.The investigation mentioned was started after Comey was fired by McCabe.Mueller took it up immediately he was appointed.

The son of that Republican you posted about, you didn't know him or the politician herself.

Sexual abuse and PDFs only matter to you when you want to spite the people you hate.

It's the same with Iran. They killed at least 30,000; no one heard from you until Trump bombed them and all of a sudden, Iranian lives matter to you. And funny enough, only the ones killed by the US and IDF.

I think bayelsaowei was denied a visa by Trump or his girlfriend was deported while he was planning to move there.
I can't figure out any other reason.

As if there are not numerous reasons to dislike Trump.

1. Destroying multiple businesses with his tariff
2. Serial cheater and adulterer
3. Posted racist images of the Obamas
4. Wasting American money and lives on a nonsense iranian war

And so many more

Since you are myopic clutching your pearls whenever Trump loses,this article explains how two democrat judges long known to harbor hatred for Trump were put in a perfect position to scuttle the Executive Order..

https://substack.com/@shipwreheckedcrew/p-2045460

To put it simply when you see a victory, I see judicial malfeasance.

In 2024 ,24 Democrat state Attorney generals got together to identify Executive Orders a Trump presidency would enact should he win. They handpicked jurisdictions where they could get friendly activists in black robes masquerading as judges. In many cases they have a preliminary injunction ready . Whenever Trump signs an EO within hours a petition is filed in democrat friendly jurisdictions which almost always succeed. An injunction delays the EO till the case makes its way to the Supreme court.

Tariffs are necessary for every economy to boost domestic production. Every country enacts tariffs to protect it's local industry.
The Obama racist thing was circulating for a while , also had others.
Serial cheater. How many saints are there including Bill and his oval office BJs.

You want Iran to get a nuclear bomb ,good luck . Iran can now attack any country ,if Nigeria decided to triple the oil production depressing markets Iran can send a drone and there will be no pushback. You don't coddle a bully,you crush him. They actually wanted to fire a missile at air force one .
They will be the biggest losers. ME countries will in a year's time largely bypass the Hormuz straits while Iranian oil will still be blockaded.
Re: American Politics Thread: 2026 Midterm Elections Live! by basilico:


I have always had serious reservations about electronic voting and counting. What's this nonsense about voter tallies being shuffled around in thumb drives.
The Optical Scanner reads a ballot and assigns a vote to the candidate. Code can be configured to count say 1 million votes correctly then after that start switching every third vote to a desired candidate. No one ever sees that proprietary code,it's a company secret. The code can be configured any way to make it look convincing.

Hand counting is the way.Everyone accredited sits on a table to count less than 1000 votes per precinct. A ballot is picked ,read out loud ,shown round the table and placed on its respective stack. At the end bank clerks quickly count all the ballots. Observers will have made their own tally ballot by ballot so they ideally all agree. Results can be out within hours.

America system depends on trust. Transport milliona of ballots to a central county counting hall then run them in these machines whose source code is only known by the manufacturer.

After elections Dominion can delete all the logs with an update or bug from fixes.
.When Tina Peters gets external consultant to back them up before Dominion wipes the server ,she is jailed for nine years.Yuck.

Just as I saw the news of the boy that’s how I also encountered Platner.. it was the allegation against Platner that drew my attention to him.

I don’t chant platners name.. I don’t give excuses for his behavior or the allegations against him. I heartily welcomed his withdrawal.. because that’s the ethical and moral thing to do..

But you see yourself? You’d follow and worship Trump anywhere he goes despite knowing who he his, what he has done and still doing..

You are no different from the followers of Tinubu, Akpabio, Wike and all the armed robbers governing Nigeria..

He doesn’t know that the way i dislike and detest Nigerian politicians is the same exact way I detest Trump..

Trump is one of the most horrible and immoral humans the world has ever known.

Imagine what a person like Trump would do if he was a ruler in a third world country.

The funny thing is I do have a US VISA.. I have never been denied a US VISA.

The reason I detest Trump is the same reason I detest every single thieving, grifting, immoral, corrupt, and debased politician in Nigeria.

You can start dealing with me however you choose to.

You have nothing moral to offer here but propaganda and Trump worship.

Those in a cult of hero worship don't realize it. They accuse otters of the same.
Pray have you ever written anything negative about democrats? Or Obama.

I vehemently disagree with Trump on the covid vaccine and his coddling to Islamic nations . I disagree with him on his sometimes loose mouth and hitting back at critics. I have been disappointed that he hires backstabbers and then praises them.
Those are major policy points which shows I'm my own man. Though I agree with him on very many issues .
Bayelsaowei agrees with every liberal idea including men can be women. You are in a liberal Christian hating cult.
Bill Clinton's is the most amorous man to ever set foot at the WH. Who was smoking cigars shoved in Monica Lewinsky's vagina. He allso ejaculated on her blue dress.

Trump didnt just impose tariffs like a normal president. He randomly did it against countries he was biased against. He also reversed them. Such turbulence in the international market destroyed many American businesses which had international deals.

Please, Obama was a true Christian. Loyal to his wife and children. Trump is not a true family man. Even his wife Melania is disgusted by him. Yet, the Christian right loves Trump

But you never posted about Platner here, you never said anything.

For about a month, we discussed Platner. As long as the Democrats are with him, you stand with Platner. You only said something when they dropped him, and even that was forced out of you.

So, I don't believe you care about PDF, sexual abuse, etc. You only bring it up to spite the people you hate.

Tariffs are necessary for a country . There's been a net growth of jobs since the tariffs.

How do you know Melanie is disgusted? She told to you or it was on CNN?
Trump is not a true family man . Depends on what you mean by raising a good and successful family.
The war in Iran is disgusting, To you or the millions of Iranians who want to be free.
I stand with the Iranian people , they are over 90 million of them yearning freedom but brutalized by the regime . Over 40,000 of them killed this year.

You support these animals.

Execution Details: Marzieh Nieri was a 23-year-old Iranian woman executed by hanging on August 8, 2026.
Forced Marriage: At age 17, her family forced her into a marriage with an abusive husband.
The Incident: In 2021, Nieri killed her husband during a chaotic struggle to defend herself against an attempted sexual assault by his associate.He used to bring men to rape her
The Verdict: The Iranian judiciary completely rejected her self-defense arguments and sentenced her to death for murder.
Retribution Laws: Her execution proceeded under Iran's qisas (retribution) laws after the victim's family refused to grant forgiveness.


Obama's actions esp on foreign policy are one of the most evil. Go tell Libyans or Syrians how good Obama was and they'll chop you up As you praise him ,are you aware a lot of guns and bullets ISWAP uses were originally from Libya.What did Obama do about ISWAP.Trump.is bombing them and his administration correctly calls out their war on Christians in the North.

I doubt you know that.

I don't think its a bad idea for able bodied people on benefits devoting some of their playstation tine to do something beneficial to the society.
If I was the one ,I'd make them sweep the streets. I'd also make them buy raw food to go and cook instead of candy and ice cream. Those who hate doing menial jobs would look for a proper job and start paying taxes.
