I have not seen any POTUS in my lifetime being weaker on Russia than Trump.
My god man, are you blind and deaf? Your guy is humiliated again and again.
European leaders want to be involved, just so Trump doesn't FUCK IT UP.
Every time they see your clown near Putin, they hold their breath thinking "Will we be at nuclear war after this or did he gift Ukraine to Russia, for a weapons deal with Russia?"
That's maybe a bit of an overstatement, but not by much.

Elon Musk is the most hated famous person in the world.

Good that you think about that. Don't forget it, when it's something that you like.
There was zero ad-crap when I opened the link. Maybe your PC is infected with adware.
Why Gallup Is Trusted:
- Scientific, transparent methodology: Gallup employs rigorous research methods—including probability-based random sampling, demographic weighting, and maintaining long-standing trend series—to ensure credible results across topics like politics, health, and well-being. Their Methodology Center emphasizes this commitment to quality data.
-Global reach: The Gallup World Poll covers over 150 countries, surveying approximately 1,000 people per country using in-person or telephone methods depending on coverage, allowing for internationally comparable data
- Low bias in reporting: Media Bias/Fact Check rates Gallup as “least biased” with “high credibility,” noting a 69% accuracy rating in political polling and only a slight right-leaning skew (~+0.6).
Elon's approval ratings would be even lower.
you can be sure that he would drop all the way down.
At this moment, he appears clean to most people.
He also doesn't contribute to your Christo-fascism,
but speaks out against it. Everyone except you likes that.
This is evidence that you are a much smaller group than you want to believe.
People obviously think that Elon is changing the world more for the worse,
than for the good. Technology can be positive, but fascism isn't, ever.
Don't overestimate Elon's positive effect. He promised the world affordable electric cars. He is not delivering, he keeps building too expensive cars. He could easily deliver what he promises, he is the wealthiest man in the world, but he keeps failing on his promises. People take that in consideration when they judge him.
Cheaper raw materials, probably somewhat. Why, though?
Cheaper technology? Not really, they just have lots of government investments.
Labor is only a tiny part of car manufacturing. Cars are mostly made by robots.
Elon could make cheaper electric cars, but he doesn't want to. He wants to be a trillionaire. He doesn't care about humanity or nature, he only cares about what makes him wealthy. He could once talk a good game, and he invested well, but now his mind is fucked, probably from all the drugs he's taking. Electric cars were a good investment. I told you many times that I liked him for making EV's cool. But, I also told you that EV's are not saving the world, they are just saving the car. If he is not delivering the cars that humanity needs, but keeps making the big, expensive ones, he's not doing anything positive. He's only taking lots of tax-dollars, to give rich people a good feeling for driving electric. That money could go to better goals.
I don't consider China 'good', but they are better than Elon.
They are actually investing in technology that humanity needs to survive.
ON EARTH, that is, while Elon is investing in humanity surviving on Mars.
He is wasting lots of money on that fantasy, while he takes money from people who need it. That's why I dislike him, besides being a fascist.
Of course, that's much to complicated for most people who answered the poll.
They just saw him turn X into a fascist conspiracy theorist's wet dream
and saw him do the Nazi salute. Those are good reasons to hate him.
However, in the US, they are fanatical monsters. Their politicians are horrible back-stabbing liars, who abuse their power to destroy public schooling, with the goal of getting to indoctrinate other people's children. They also show an amount of hate, towards everyone outside of their cults, that has equals in history of very frightening times. In my country they are humble, in the US, they are downright evil.
The problem is that they are forced, and then get told that THEY sinned.
First they teach them everything related to sex is a sin, and then they r@pe them.
That has fucked up many kids, who suffer from it their whole lives.
However, some have said that the intolerant religion did more damage than the r@pe.
Don't confuse the feelings of 14 y.o. boys, with those of dirty old men, like us.
Many of them were much younger, by the way. Some were girls too.
Sex is fun for consenting adults. Kids might start experimenting before they are adults, but that's no reason for adults to be involved with that. That usually turns out to be very damaging. Not everyone is ready at age 16 or 18, some much earlier, but that's an arbitrary limit that we have set as society, to protect the children who are not.
Or is this some coping for your president, who has very like abused under@ged girls. Understand that being a forced prostitute has no safe age limit, to prevent damage.
He is weaponizing the legal system and the FBI, to keep himself out of prison.
Presidential immunity doesn't cover sex-crimes, from before taking office.

i am joking ok? i don't swim or the statue of liberty would need a air bottle
i know what is going on in the real world. we are in a transition from liberal bs policy's and regulations that cripple our country to more common sense.
you can't haul anything for any distance with a truck trying to get 65 mpg.
Under the Biden administration, NHTSA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had issued rules aiming to increase fuel efficiency significantly, reaching a fleet-wide average of 49 mpg for passenger cars and light trucks by 2026.
A 2024 NHTSA rule established standards aiming for 65 mpg for passenger vehicles by 2031.
You might not even have midterms, if it's up to Trump.
Disengagement is a sure way to lose your democracy.
But, democracy can be destroyed very quickly and it takes decades to restore.
Trump's presidency is staggering, the fall can come quickly, if everyone pushes.
You have a lot of years still in you. Don't live it out under fascism.
the younger generation can't even decide if they are male or female, and you expect them to care about democracy? hell, as long as they get a check each month, they are not going to give a shit.
You know why? Because they took money from the wealthy just like Republicans.
The wealthy pay the Republicans to fight for them, and they pay the Democrats
to bend the knees for them. That's why the libs are WEAK.
The only true fighters are THE LEFT. I think even you can see that.
It never took any courage to be a Republican. The wealthy got their backs.
Never any consequences, no matter how many laws you break.
Get rich doing nothing.
At least the libs have to make believe that they are doing something for the people.
Republicans just say that lazy and brown people caused your poverty,
and that lower taxes for the rich will bring you (better paying) jobs.
Best lie ever, when you have enough stupid people to vote for you.
Being a MAGA politician is the easiest job ever. You go on TV, to spread lies
once a week, you don't have to think, or write complicated laws, you just break shit, never show up for work, while the money keeps flowing in from the wealthy, Israel and Russia, and the stupid cult members.
your shit is what is old.
She just wants a standard democracy, instead of an oligarchy.
I’m not living beyond my means. What gave you that idea?
Florida is very expensive, that’s true, but in certain areas only Mostly due to DeSantis and the damn snowbirds (mostly Repuckers) and home insurance.
Both Woody and I have good retirement and money in savings accounts. Either one of us can afford living alone.
Not on a hotdog budget but, I get my meats from GRAZIANO’S meat market (google it, their restaurants are to die for) their aged Argentine imported prime meats, including chorizo sausage and blood sausage are next to none except for Brazilian meats. Hotdogs are for the uneducated pallets.
That will very much NOT lower your inflation.
Do you know what Trump did, to lower the oil price? He didn't increase US extraction. "As of August 2025, U.S. crude oil production is approximately 13.5 million barrels per day (bpd), marking a slight decrease from the record high of 13.63 million bpd reached in December 2024."
So, why is the price of oil down?
1. Increased OPEC+ Production
OPEC+ has raised oil production quotas, with an additional 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) scheduled for September 2025. This move aims to balance supply and demand but has contributed to a supply glut, putting downward pressure on prices.
2. Weakening U.S. Economic Indicators
Recent economic data from the U.S. suggests a slowdown, with growth falling below potential levels. This raises concerns about reduced oil demand, particularly in the OECD countries, leading to downward revisions in global consumption forecasts.
3. Trade Tensions and Tariffs
The looming August 1 tariff deadline imposed by President Trump has created uncertainty in global markets. Investors are concerned about potential disruptions in trade relationships, which could negatively impact oil demand and contribute to price declines.
So, Trump is destroying your economy and global investments, which results in lower oil prices. Oil prices increased under "Mr Magoo", because the economy was BOOMING. Simple supply vs demand.
You don't understand inflation. The prices of groceries aren't an effect of inflation, they are one of the indicators of inflation. The prices of food are determined by supply and demand. If harvests are destroyed, the price of food goes up. If some company destroys their competition and becomes a monopoly, they can raise the price of their product and their profit margin.
If energy become more expensive, because there is a global energy crisis, that will affect the cost of all products that require energy to manufacture.
Interest rates are also a demand and supply issue, of money itself. If you lower the interest rates, you increase the supply of money, not the demand. Then the "price" of money goes down. In other words, you decrease the value of money, making everything you want to buy with it more expensive, especially from products from countries with lower inflation, because your value decreasing currency buys less of it then.
13.63 million barrels per day in December 2024, $71.72 per barrel.
13.50 million barrels per day currently, $66.85 per barrel.
Why was the oil price higher under Biden, while the US produced more oil then?
I'll tell you, it's DEMAND. When the economy cools down, demand for oil declines, resulting in lower prices.
One example is the 2008 financial crisis. Before the crisis: In mid‑2008, crude oil prices (Brent and WTI) peaked at record highs of around $140–$147 per barrel due to strong demand and market speculation.
During the crisis: As the global financial system collapsed and demand plummeted, prices fell dramatically, reaching around $30–$40 per barrel by the end of 2008 and early 2009.
Recovery: Prices gradually recovered as economies stabilized, climbing back to the $70–$80 range by late 2009 and eventually over $100 in subsequent years.
You might think that Trump is doing a good job, when they oil price goes down, but unless he achieved anything on the demand side of energy
(not just oil), the oil price going down is an indicator of the economy cooling down.
I bet it’ll get better on January 21, 2029.
Eggs were 6 dollars a dozen
Milk was 5 dollars a gallon
Gas was 4 dollars a gallon at least
Heating Oil was 5 dollars a gallon
You Democrats are all alike you lie through your teeth and hope America 🇺🇸 don’t remember
“ Upon his inauguration, Donald Trump made lowering the cost of living a key focus of his economic agenda. However, the economic reality regarding price changes following his inauguration presents a mixed picture:
Inflation: Overall inflation eased slightly during the first few months of his administration, according to government data. However, this didn't necessarily mean prices were decreasing across the board, rather that the rate of increase in prices slowed. More recent reports indicate inflation is once again ticking up, with consumer prices in June 2025 showing a 2.6% increase compared to the previous year.”
Put your electronics down grab your bifocals and go out shopping for the day see what things actually cost instead of posting google look ups and consumer reports and phoney numbers and percentages from the left side Marcy works for a food chain she tells me every day what is up or down cody8789 can tell you firsthand because he works for a food chain also don’t forget your bifocals so you see what I’m seeing
It just goes to show you their are left look ups and right depending on the party you are registered under
Cody8789 works for a food chain. What does that mean? I shop at several food chains. I also gas up my cat. My dry cleaning is not a national chain, but, I go to Texas Roadhouse and Carrabba's and Long Horn. I also go to Graziano's. Dollar Tree is no longer a dollar and going to Disney costs more than my mortgage and insurance combined. That is not Biden's fault. Six months after Biden was in office you said that he was in charge. Well, your fuckup has been in office for six months. What has he done for you and me? Am I living better? Am I saving more money? Is FEMA ready to help me during this hurricane season? Are you able to get medicine cheaper?
Come on, Dgraff, show me how wrong I am with or without glasses.
I just paid $11+ for a 12 pack of toilet paper. A year ago it was $6.50 or less. Eggs went down, but I just paid $9+ for 18 eggs.
All relative but still....
And what do you think about all the Chinese stuff that can't be replaced without paying through the nose?
when i say things are as good or better now, i go by what i see in the store myself with my own eyes.
i eat at a place like that once a year maybe for my birthday or on the day marking a year longer after my accident when i am depressed as hell and need something good to cheer me up. .you are talking 30 buck plus meals for 1 at a place like that by the time you tip the waitress that lets your sweet tea go dry twice.
i will admit, much as annas will be in disbelief, i aint much on killin things and guttin them and skinnin them,. i would probably eat alot of corn and beans and shit.
Never let it be said that i don’t beat my meat
Obama in jail
The Clinton’s in jail
The Biden’s all in jail
Bill gates in jail
Oprah in jail
Kamala Harris in jail
Whoopi Goldberg in jail
And a whole bunch more that I’m forgetting
Openly supports imprisoning everyone who ever made him angry.
Legendary!
They will only 'invade a man’s property' if he cheats on his taxes.
That's not Biden breaking the law, that's him upholding the law.
If there is no one making sure people pay their taxes, no one will.
And then your country goes bankrupt. It's already pretty close to it.
You probably are a tax cheat, but that's you breaking the law, not Biden.
Throwing Biden in jail, so they don't go after you? Are you fucking crazy?
If you think that Trump will let you scam taxes, you're really dumb.
He only lets the wealthy do that, NOT YOU. He needs YOU to pay MORE.
What do you think tariffs are? TAXES! ON YOU!
What about Oprah? She's at best a centrist. What did she do?
And Whoopi Goldberg? She's damn right-wing and ignorant as fuck.
Did you just thrown in some black women, for good measure?
Even if the government only pays for the military and the police,
that money still needs to come from somewhere.
And then who will pay for everything else? People!
It's either taxes, or you will need to pay for everything you want to use.
Want to drive this road? $5 please! Want to cross this bridge? $10 please.
That's much more expensive, because it's incredibly inefficient.
That would completely destroy the US, the opposite of MAGA.
Are you really this brainwashed or just acting like it?
they come get it from the average American and the poor.
It was your choice to have them do the latter.
They also don't need that many IRS agents, to go after normal Americans,
because you don't have an army of lawyers hiding your money
and defending you, when you break the law.
By letting Trump fire IRS agents, you are securing yourself as the targets.
Now the wealthy can cheat even more, while you get punished for a mistake.
Did DOGE find even one big wealthy tax-cheat?
No, they canceled grandma's social security.
If you don't learn from that, you never will.
Anything to say about dgraff wanting to imprison everyone you dislike?
There was no need for extra IRS agents to go after Trump.
Trump is not that smart. They had all the evidence that they needed.
and you lot were stupid enough to make him president again.
Biden is indeed not a criminal. Republicans tried to manufacture evidence against him, but were proven to be liars.
None of the legal cases were won by Trump. His defense didn't even have any response to all the evidence against Trump. They're strategy was obstruction and delay, combined with reasoning that Trump had the right to do what he did, instead of rejecting that he did it. Trump would have certainly lost all his cases and would have been found guilty of all or most charges, because he was NOT allowed to do what he did. Unfortunately, he was effective in his delay strategy, because he became president before verdict was achieved. His legal cases were either dropped or paused until he's president no longer. The biggest crime Trump has been accused of is criminal conspiracy to undermine American democracy.
Specifically, Trump was charged with the crimes:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Max: 5 years in prison and fines.
- Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(k))
Max: 20 years in prison.
- Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c))
Max: 20 years in prison.
- Conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241)
Max: 10 years, but up to life or death penalty if the conspiracy involves kidnapping, sexual abuse, or death (not alleged in Trump’s case).
Trump was also charged with:
Willful retention of national defense information (Violations of the Espionage Act)
- Charged with 31 counts, each related to keeping a separate classified document marked “SECRET” or “TOP SECRET” at Mar‑a‑Lago without authorization.
These documents included materials on U.S. nuclear weapons, military capabilities, vulnerabilities, and foreign intelligence reports—posing significant national security risks.
Each count carries up to 10 years in prison (though there are no mandatory minimums).
Since there were several TOP SECRET documents still unaccounted for, Trump was still under investigation. He is not telling what he did with these documents. If they would find out that he sold them or gave them to a hostile but not wartime adversary (e.g., Russia, China in peacetime), that would probably be charged as espionage.
Each count carries up to 10 years in prison.
The whole world saw Trump lie about those documents, over and over, until he admitted to have them, so don't try any stupid make believe that he's not GUILTY AS FUCK!
When you move to the United States 🇺🇸 and do it legally or ice will send you right back then you have your say until then keep your opinions to yourself
You have the balls (and I’m using this as a figure of speech, not a statement of fact) to still think this Clown has your interest at heart? Sad.
Trump is an incredible narcissist, he only cares about himself.
The only reason he became president again is to save himself from prison.
The whole world saw him be a traitor and break the law about 100 times.
In any real democracy, he would have been behind bars the next day.
but the buffoon keeps investing in that old tech, while not investing in new tech.
You're destroying your competitiveness with the rest of the world.
In how many ways do you want to fuck over your own country?
It's not America First, it's America last.
Trump might be Israel First, or Russia First, but not America First.
Look at his tariffs; the EU and the US now have a 15% tax on trade.
The US also has tariffs with all other countries in the world.
The EU doesn't have tariffs with the rest of the world.
We can still trade with EVERYONE ELSE, tax-free.
How do you think that will turn out? Good for the US?
obsolete tech for energy? a electron can flow thru a copper wire now same as it did a 100 years ago. coal can heat water to make steam to turn a turbine to generate electricity or it ,or the water can spin a water wheel. same as a 100 years ago.
this new tech is expensive and not recyclable without alot of expanse, so it cost more on both ends.by the time a solar panel pays for it's self, it has lost alot of it's capacity.
Solar and wind are already much cheaper than fossil fuels,
even while fossil fuels are heavily subsidized.
You keep forgetting the cost of the damage. The climate is putting higher costs on your country every single year. You can cancel FEMA, but that means that people just end up homeless for longer. That's a massive burden on your economy.
The risk isn't just climate change, it's also old-fashioned pollution.
There are areas around your fossil fuel extraction plants, where citizens have a 200x higher risk of getting cancer, than in the safest areas of your country.
That's a massive burden on your economy.
Maybe you could make everything that we can, but if that
would have been better, you would have already done it.
It's what we buy from you, that you should worry about.
We can also make everything you make, in many cases better.
Your economy will come to a screaming halt, if we do that.
If you keep making things on coal energy, we might stop buying those.
Your citizens are poorer every day. They don't spend enough to keep your economy alive. You only think about the supply side, the job creators, but do you even understand the demand side of the economy?
People actually need to buy your overpriced crap.
cars you won't buy because you regulate everyone to roller-skates, that number was not relevant to the big picture.
cotton for your clothes, we will just use it here if you don't buy it. sure there will be growing pains.
but we would survive just fine
Americans are not starving because of a lack of food,
but because of a lack of MONEY.
"Weapons you don't buy, can go in our stock piles"
Have you never heard of increasing or decreasing production output?
The reason we don't buy American cars is not regulation,
but because they are too heavy, too big and guzzle fuel.
They don't fit in our hundreds of years old cities.
If you made cars that we would want to buy, we would.
Well, maybe not if they're 15% more expensive than European
and Asian cars.
The reason we do not buy American beef IS because of regulation,
but also because we can make beef that does comply with regulation CHEAPER.
America became the #1 economy in the world, because you produced stuff that other countries wanted to buy. Even though you outsourced a lot of your production to China, you still earned most of the profits. That is changing, because your innovation strength is dwindling, while China's innovation strength is skyrocketing. They don't need you anymore.
Your economy is heavily dependent on domestic consumption, so your economy would be able to survive on your own production and consumption. The problem is that everything is owned by billionaires.
They will leave you, when you're not making them enough money.
You have sacrificed a lot for them to become this wealthy, but that didn't result in any loyalty towards YOU. They screw you for a dollar.
At least Biden tried to invest in education, science and US manufacturing, but Trump thinks he can solve it with tariffs, while he's destroying education and science. He thinks US manufacturing will come back without government investments. That's stupid, you cannot win from China which is investing trillions. Your billionaires are not going to invest in your country, just because of nationalism. They only invest to make more profits for themselves. If their money makes a better return on investment in Mexico, Canada, China or Europe, they'll invest there. If you don't provide them with smart people, who can invent their intellectual property, they'll leave the US for that too.
You WON'T survive just fine. The term MAGA worked, because you know the US is in trouble. Your empire is failing, and Trump is accelerating it.
He's too dumb to understand the causes, and you are following him blind towards utter destruction. Why? Because you like his ignorance and hatred.
that's ANTI-American.
Once The Constitution was your pride,
but you crapped on it, for whole the world to see.
You once thought of yourself as the shining light of democracy,
now you are openly supporting authoritarianism.
SHAME ON YOU!
Every accusation that Republicans threw at him vaporized.
His accusers were caught fabricating evidence and using a perjurious witness.
When was Biden found to be unfit to stand trial?
Are you talking about Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report (February 2024)
on Biden’s handling of classified documents, which declined to prosecute him, noting Biden’s memory lapses. That report did not declare Biden legally unfit
to stand trial. The transcripts of the interviews showed Robert Hur to be misrepresenting Biden's mental state.
There was no legal standing to accuse Biden of any criminal wrongdoing.
Biden did mishandle classified documents. After leaving the vice presidency, he retained and disclosed some classified materials related to Afghanistan and other topics. These were found at his home and former office. However, Hur concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove criminal intent — a necessary element for prosecution under U.S. law (e.g., willful retention under 18 U.S.C. § 793).
That is completely different for Trump. INTENT was the least of it.
Key Alleged Crimes:
- Willful Retention of National Defense Information
Keeping dozens of classified documents after leaving the presidency, in violation of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)).
- Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice
Working with aides to conceal documents from federal investigators and the grand jury (18 U.S.C. § 1512(k)).
- Obstruction of Justice / Withholding Documents
Direct acts to obstruct the investigation, such as moving boxes and providing false assurances (18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(b), 1512(c)).
- Concealing or Hiding a Document
Knowingly hiding records to prevent them from being found in an official investigation (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)).
- False Statements and Representations
Causing lawyers to certify falsely that all classified materials were returned (18 U.S.C. § 1001).
