Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems.
In his Fiscal Year 2027 executive budget (released in May 2026), Zohran Mamdani allocated $26 million annually for the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes, describing it as fulfillment of a campaign pledge to increase hate-crime prevention funding by more than 800%.

This will help Jewish New Yorkers through prevention, victim support, education, community partnerships, and coordination across agencies, rather than primarily through increased policing.
Some examples of what the city's hate-crime prevention offices already do:
- Work with Jewish organizations and other community groups to identify threats and respond to incidents.
- Support victims of antisemitic incidents and improve reporting of hate crimes.
- Fund community projects, interfaith initiatives, and educational programs intended to reduce antisemitism and other forms of bias before they escalate into crimes.
- Coordinate responses among agencies such as the NYPD, Commission on Human Rights, schools, and district attorneys.
- Improve hate-crime data collection, training, and outreach to communities that may underreport incidents.
Mamdani explicitly justified the increase by noting that Jewish New Yorkers suffer a disproportionate share of the city's hate crimes.
laying a trap for them. appeasement. kinda like the boil a frog story, by the time the Jews and others realize it's to late, they will be line at the ovens again.
Middle finger to him, I may not be living in a utopia at the moment, but I am FAR better off than I would be if the cackler had got in office. and that,makes me feel I am better off now than I was.
When the only thing you can think off is that you don't have to listen to a female president laughing annoyingly, it means that you're showing him to be correct. You have nothing.
You say you FEEL that you're better off now than you were.
Facts don't care about your feelings. You're duped!
Mental health is important. If I feel that my freedom is being stolen from me 1 law at the time, i feel threatened and my life and actions go accordingly. I don't feel threatened, i don't feel in danger, there for,to me, yes, I am better off with Trump than harris. you are the 1 missing the point.
Many economists now see inequality increasing, and are predicting abject poverty

He is now feeling guilty, and he is doing what he is doing, because he is expecting
that future suffering people will ask him: “Did you try and do anything?”.

Why would they take money from people who lost their homes and waste it on something like that?
It's official. Donald Trump has become the deadest duck of all the dead ducks in the history of American presidents.
All those Republican guys retiring have suddenly found a spine and a pair of balls and they are out for revenge…
"Democratic lawmakers and progressive advocacy groups strongly oppose the Trump administration's efforts to use public health data systems—specifically through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—to track and deport undocumented immigrants. The political and legal battle escalated following reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), coordinating with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), sought access to sensitive CMS databases to match Social Security numbers and extract addresses for immigration enforcement"
Ok,so democrats and liberals have spent years telling us there are NO illegals on medicare or medicaid. BUT YET when someone starts looking around and using the info to find them, they get upset? WHY? there aren't supposed to be any on it, so if there is,why not get them off something they don't belong on?
Before answering your question, first explain how an undocumented alien has a social security number. And, if so, then you know how they can access Medicare and Medicaid.
The objection is that the medical data of millions of Americans would be exposed without regard to their privacy.
Also, and this is just an aside, Medicare is available only to those that are 65 or older and Medicare has to be approved on an individual basis and the person has to qualify.
And before you say,” I told you so”. Let me remind you that there are countless **** teenagers getting liquor using fake IDs. You don’t hand over all the data of state DMVs to a government that wants to control them.
so you approve of the fraud. otherwise you wouldn't obstruct whatever means required to stop it. there is at least 1 person using my dads id at the moment in a nearby city for their cell phones. so i know it happens.
Not love by no means, there are several things Trump and the repubs are doing that I don't like. talking about legal pot and more alcohol in gas and such, blah, nope,not good. BUT kamala would have left the borders open for so many terrorist to come in along with all the other cans, mexicans, porter ricans, and etc that America would be swamped.
What terrorists? You see the boogie man everywhere. And by the way, Puerto Ricans only need to fly in. THEY ARE AMERICANS and that means they can go anywhere in the United States.
Illegals don't get Medicare & Medicaid Services.
People don't trust your administration, for good reason.
The first thing it did, was letting a billionaire and his boys go through
everyone's private information unchecked.
This is why my country's House of Representatives has voted by a large majority
to block the purchase of Solvinity by the American company Kyndryl.
Solvinity provides a key role in our DigiD services. We don't trust THIS America

And why would we? The American people don't even trust their own government
with their information, to have a Digital Identity for government services themselves.

"The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have, are focusing on doing their jobs — which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities. IN other words no respect for federal law.
Federal immigration authorities are breaking all the laws.
They have ignored hundreds of judge rulings and even the supreme court.
California is protesting that.
You're kidding right? I have posted long lists, of all the laws that are broken
by your administration and ICE, multiple times already.
Federal immigration authorities cannot just attack and kidnap random people
off the streets. They are consistently ignoring the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th
and 14th amendments, which are all fixed in federal and state laws.
Ask any AI of your choice about it. Do SOMETHING to inform yourself.
I am Dutch, you are American. Why do I care about your Constitutional protections, more than YOU? Do you still remember caring about the Constitution once?
I care. The people that came here ILEGALLY have NO constitutional rights as the constitutionis for citizens. . They should be rounded up and sent back home. This is the last comment from me on this subject.
Not true, many constitutional rights are written broadly. The Constitution often says “persons,” “people,” or “the accused,” not “citizens.” For example:
The 5th Amendment says no PERSON can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.
The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection to any PERSON within a state’s jurisdiction.
Why the last? You know you will loose the argument?
'Innocent until proven guilty' is for everyone. It's against the law to assume someone is an illegal on just their appearance. ICE is blocking roads, raiding appartement buildings and posting outside immigration offices. They are in that way harming the rights of lots of AMERICANS, legal immigrants and legitimate documented asylum seekers. Your Constitutional rights include that immigration authorities cannot demand from random people that they prove that they are NOT illegals.
So yes, illegals should be arrested and sent back home, but ICE is breaking the law by assuming everyone is 'illegal until proven innocent' and deporting lots of people without a fair legal process. You have masked men, attacking people on the streets with impunity, and you only accept this from Trump, because you are a cult.
Your side has fearmongered for decades that Democrats would do something like this, and now it's your side acting like the fucking STASI, you just let them take away your constitutional rights. Well, REAL Americans will say 'not on our watch', in November.
You forget that here in America people who have been accused by authorities of committing crimes are held by those authorities until seen by a judge who will decide if the case is valid. All illegal aliens are accused of committing a.crime. in this case entering the United States of America illegally which is a crime. They will be seen by an immi g region judge who will decide what needs to be done. I personally think that person should be sent to their home country and given the paperwork they need to gain entry legally. This gives the system time to find out if they have any connections to terrorism.
And the only reason Joe Biden let them all in is they ( the illegal alien) are all potential dem voters. Now shut the fuck up and mind your own damn business.
if this was true, I would agree with deporting illegals in the way you describe.
It is however NOT true at all.
1. Immigration violations are NOT criminal offenses requiring jail before a judge.
Entering the U.S. without authorization is a CIVIL violation, not a criminal one. Immigration courts are administrative courts, NOT criminal courts.
So the claim “all illegal aliens are accused of committing a crime and must be held”
is LEGALLY FALSE.
2. Non‑citizens, including undocumented migrants, have constitutional due‑process rights.
The Fifth Amendment protects "all persons", not just citizens. Courts have repeatedly affirmed that non‑citizens are entitled to DUE PROCESS, including the right to challenge removal.
So the idea that they can be detained or deported without judicial review is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
3. Trump’s policies explicitly reduced access to immigration judges.
Multiple legal organizations document that Trump’s administration has:
- Expanded expedited removal, which bypasses immigration judges entirely.
- Stripped access to attorneys, making fair hearings nearly impossible.
- Implemented “grant and deport” and similar policies, that remove people without proper hearings.
This directly contradicts the claim that “everyone gets seen by a judge.”
4. Trump has carried out mass deportations without normal asylum procedures.
Asylum is a LEGAL RIGHT under U.S. and international law.
But Trump has:
- Restricted or ended asylum access, even for people legally presenting at ports of entry.
- Deported people en masse, including those with valid claims.
This means people are being removed BEFORE they can make their legal case.
5. Deporting people to dangerous third countries without hearings violates due process.
The American Immigration Council documents that Trump has attempted to deport people under the 'Alien Enemies Act' without hearings, a practice that the Supreme Court rejected.
This directly disproves the claim that deportations only occur "after" a judge decides.
6. Immigration courts are overwhelmed; millions wait years for hearings.
There are 3.5 million pending cases, and DHS prioritizes only certain categories.
Claiming that “everyone is held until they see a judge” is impossible and factually untrue.
7. Trump’s policies have broken the immigration court system. Legal experts report:
- Massive “mega‑hearings” with 100+ people at once.
- Hearings appearing without notice.
- Structural changes undermining fairness.
This is the opposite of a system ensuring due process.
Joe Biden did NOT let them all in. They are also not all potential dem voters,
many of them are very conservative. How about the Cuban immigrants?
And don't be a fucking snowflake, this is not a MAGA safe space.
It's pretty damn humiliating that a foreigner has to correct you on your own laws.
Just vote for politicians who obey the law and don't lie to cover up for them.
Your assumption that I am MAGA in the derogatory use of the term MAGA is wrong. I am pro Make America Great Again in the exact sense of making America great again. There is nothing wrong with that. The dems here have have aligned themselves with communist beliefs. Trump has tried to cut the size of the government. To make the government accountable to the people of this nation. There are many " experts" who disagree with your experts. It just depends on which side of the news you believe.
Your opinions dont matter and I really dont care about them. You are not here to see and feel the affects of illegal immigration. The constant begging in the streets the homeless camps that have piles of trash around them. The illegal immigration policies of the last administration allowed many criminals and terrorists to come into our country and if it takes getting ALL illegals rounded up and sending them back to get these terrorists and criminals out then so be it.
Obama deported more people than Trump yet no one says a word about that. Obama is the one who separated families he started that policy. Trump gets the blame.
I can clearly see that you lean way left. For most policies
I am a centrist. Believing in what the constitution says,
Immigration law here may be broken but its all that we have. The immigration courts have been overwhelmed for many years not just under Trump.
Cubans are a very small amount of the illegals to come here. Chinese came here in vast numbers many connected to cartels, they set up drug labs and create violence here. An apartment complex near where I used to live was shut down and because Tren de Aragua took it over, I witnessed that, I saw the guns I saw friends terrorized for "rent". I saw a once beautiful complex trashed by illegals. From my backyard. Many times I heard gun fire and hoped and prayed no one was hurt. I helped move some friends out under poluce guard to safer locations. I
You are parroting the same lies and using the same false arguments.
You are not a centrist, you are far right.
If not, what is the difference between you and the right-wingers here?
So you think you are a centrist on immigration, economic equality, climate and environmental protection, preventing people from going homeless or helping them back on their feet, the separation of powers as the main goal of your Constitution, drugs policies, housing, and how the police behaves towards citizens and criminals?
What's your opinion on abortion, gay-marriage or LGTBQ-rights in general, religious freedom/secular government? Do you at least have the “leave me alone / I’ll leave you alone” philosophy for that? I think I've seen you support the MAGA idea on that as well. Maybe I've missed some of your centrist ideas, but if you
don't want to say...
You have supported the hard right-wing line on all these issues and I have NEVER seen you push back on extreme right-wing ideas of the MAGA loyalists.
If you don't have ANY differences of opinion with MAGA, then you are MAGA.
If you STILL like Trump more than Obama, than you are MAGA or just a racist.
The only thing Obama did was being half black, while Trump is telling and reposting KKK/NeoNazi propaganda. He is even using Hitler's retoric.
There is even en exodus from hard-line MAGA loyalists at this moment. He is bleeding his base. Only hardcore MAGA is still supporting and defending him.
You think of your own ideas as common sense, because you get fed them 24/7.
If you watch any other ideas, it's only for rage-bait. Face it, you're NOT a centrist.
If you cannot tell me anything concrete about your disagreements with the right and your agreements with the left, than you are NOT a centrist.
I indeed lean way left. I am an active member of the Socialist Party. I don't pretend to be anything else. I just don't have all the straw-man ideas that your side puts
on the left. The Socialist Party addressed tensions around immigration and multiculturalism before the issue became mainstream in Dutch politics, while center-right and right-wing parties supported large-scale labor migration during the postwar economic boom, because employers demanded additional low-wage labor. The SP is still the most anti-labor immigration party and proposes real policies to reduce it, while our populist right-wingers didn't get anything done,
in the year they dominated politics until they pulled the plug. They tried illegal policies together with CUTS on the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), the agency that is needed to send back asylum seekers that don't have a legitimate claim for asylum. That only worsens the problems we face.
That's INTENTIONAL, because they need problems from asylum seekers for people to keep voting for them. They don't want solutions, they want problems.
In the meantime, they betrayed all the other promises they made to their voters.
The only difference between them and Trump is that Trump is doing everything that the law and Constitution should protect against, while our Rule of Law held.
On everything else, he is betraying his voters completely. If you don't see that,
or you keep defending it, than you are NOT a centrist. Or very stupid.
If I am wrong on any of your ideas, I'm here for it.
Here is a good example of how deregulation can help small business's.
It provides more time to implement a new law rather than just slamming the door and prompting huge, depilating expenses.

Sure, rules WILL make it harder to make a profit. If you eliminate those rules, it will be easier to make a profit, at least short-term. There is however a REASON for most regulation.
* Businesses must follow truth-in-advertising laws so they cannot deceive customers about what they are buying.
* Businesses must meet federal safety standards for products so they don't sell dangerous or defective items that hurt people.
* Businesses cannot collude with competitors to fix prices because it unfairly destroys competition and drives up costs for regular people.
* Businesses must pay licensing fees to use copyrighted music, software, or designs so they don't steal and profit from another person's work.
* Food and beverage businesses must pass regular health inspections to ensure they don't serve contaminated food that makes the public sick.
* Businesses must securely store customer credit cards and personal info so that hackers cannot steal identities and commit financial fraud.
* Businesses cannot discriminate based on race, gender, or religion when hiring or serving customers so everyone has equal access to jobs and services.
* Businesses must ensure their premises are physically accessible to people with disabilities so no one is excluded from public commerce.
* Businesses must clearly disclose all interest rates and hidden fees when offering customer financing so buyers aren't trapped in predatory debt.
* Skilled workers like barbers, plumbers, and mechanics must maintain state licenses to prove they won't endanger or defraud the public through bad work.
Major Zohran Mamdani is eliminating lots of regulation that is NOT designed to protect Consumers, Workers, Competitors, Innovators, Local communities or The public health, but has skewed to favor large corporations instead. Or they are indeed intended to protect the citizens, but their implementation was very inefficient. He manages to simplify or eliminate regulation, WITHOUT negative effects on the people who regulations should protect.
The Newsmax article focuses entirely on financial relief for supermarkets, failing to mention significant downsides for the environment, public health, workers, and industry innovators. By delaying the transition away from high-potency hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants from 2027 to 2032, the rule change allows super-pollutants that trap thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide to leak into the atmosphere for an extra five years, worsening the long-term public health impacts of climate change.
Furthermore, the decision actively punishes domestic manufacturers and innovators who already spent billions of dollars to develop eco-friendly alternatives ahead of the original deadline, leaving their investments stranded while foreign competitors advance.
Finally, changing the rules mid-game creates confusion for HVAC technicians and workers trying to manage inconsistent standards, and because the legal supply of legacy chemicals is still shrinking, the delay could actually trigger severe supply shortages and higher repair bills for local businesses.
zohran is even trying to screw up new york style pizza by banning bromated flour. sheesh, it aint hurt nothing for decades. only issue is if it is under cooked.
The bromated flour ban is a New York STATE issue, not something being pushed by Zohran Mamdani. The legislation was passed by the state legislature and is awaiting action from Governor Kathy Hochul.
Potassium bromate is already banned in the EU, Canada, China, India, and California because of cancer concerns. This would be something that Robert F. Kennedy Jr would ban, if he actually believed in protecting the citizens from harmful chemicals in food.
I just explained to him that some regulations are intended to protect consumers
from being poisoned, and he didn't get it. He's defending deregulation, by saying
that the poor 'small' business New York Pizza will be harmed, if the evil socialist
forces them to stop poisoning consumers. And it isn't even true.
No sign of understanding that this wasn't his best argument ever
and no sign that he will learn anything from being this wrong either.
I have worked in a lot of Italian/Pizza restaurants in the last 32 years and I have put out a lot of delicious pizzas and none of them have had potassium bromide in them. Its benefits are primarily financial to the business owner, whiter flour, more volume and extra gluten to strengthen the dough.
If these owners of pizza restaurants don't know how to make a pizza without potassium bromide maybe they should consider a career change.
There is no self-respecting Italian/Pizza restaurant that would ever use potassium bromide. It's only used for factory and fast-food slob. Banning it will probably improve the company valuation and therefore the traffic at New York Pizza.
It's like when Domino's famously overhauled its entire core recipe in the US around 2009 to 2010 after publicly admitting their crust "tasted like cardboard", their expansion into Europe required a completely different, long-term operational
and chemical shift.
Here's what Domino's had to do to get Europeans to eat their pizza:
1. Cleaner Ingredients (Regulatory Adjustments): American fast-food dough relies heavily on sugars, artificial dough conditioners, and preservatives to survive long shipping times. Because European Union regulations strictly restrict or ban many
of these chemicals, Domino's had to completely strip down its recipe to a much simpler, cleaner formula.
2. Less Sugar, Lighter Texture (Taste Preferences): European consumers overwhelmingly rejected the heavy, dense, and sweet "cake-like" crusts popular in the United States. To match local continental palates, the company formulated lighter, crispier, and more authentic "Italian-style" thin crusts.
3. Fresh, Local Supply Chains (Logistical Shift): In the U.S., dough is heavily chilled and shipped long distances from centralized factories. Because Europeans expect fresh bread, Domino's had to reinvent its logistics by building local regional hubs
in Europe to deliver fresh, unfrozen dough daily, or by shifting to mixing the dough directly inside the local stores.
Not wearing seatbelts didn't hurt anything for decades either. The only issue was that if you got into a car accident you got hurt.
Having worked in Italian/Pizzarestaurants for decades I can assure you that undercooked pizza is not as uncommon as you may think.
Thank you Texan Republican voters and thank you Trump, for endorsing one of the most corrupt politicians in your country, Ken Paxton, over incumbent Texas Senator John Cornyn, which puts Democrats in their best position to win the general election in Texas in decades, with James Talarico as the Democratic nominee.

It will be very easy to attack Paxton on his record of rank corruption.
Exactly the type of opponent that a real populist can use to his advantage.
Even if Talarico loses, it will cost a fortune in attack ads, that takes away from others.
Dgraff, the fight can't end or we are toast as a nation.
These people think it is perfectly fine for muslims to kill over 3000 people in 1 city and then 25 years later literally be running that same city they tried to destroy.
Please explain to me how that makes sense?
I am perfectly fine with a representative who got voted in by a majority of voters,
fulfilling his campaign promises, while serving the Rule of Law and The Constitution.
People are not defined by their religion, but by their actions. If you cared about
The Constitution, you would understand that.
I am not fine with a traitor who attempted a coup, lying his ass off to fool the people into voting for him, while a billionaire is spending hundreds of millions in an illegal bribing campaign, then directly after getting elected starting to misuse his powers, abusing the immunity he got from his political pawns, and doing the exact opposite of everything
he promised and promised not to do.

Your opinions dont matter and I really dont care about them. You are not here to see and feel the affects of illegal immigration. The constant begging in the streets the homeless camps that have piles of trash around them. The illegal immigration policies of the last administration allowed many criminals and terrorists to come into our country and if it takes getting ALL illegals rounded up and sending them back to get these terrorists and criminals out then so be it.
Obama deported more people than Trump yet no one says a word about that. Obama is the one who separated families he started that policy. Trump gets the blame.
I can clearly see that you lean way left. For most policies
I am a centrist. Believing in what the constitution says,
Immigration law here may be broken but its all that we have. The immigration courts have been overwhelmed for many years not just under Trump.
Cubans are a very small amount of the illegals to come here. Chinese came here in vast numbers many connected to cartels, they set up drug labs and create violence here. An apartment complex near where I used to live was shut down and because Tren de Aragua took it over, I witnessed that, I saw the guns I saw friends terrorized for "rent". I saw a once beautiful complex trashed by illegals. From my backyard. Many times I heard gun fire and hoped and prayed no one was hurt. I helped move some friends out under poluce guard to safer locations. I
You are not a centrist, you are far right.
If not, what is the difference between you and the right-wingers here?
What's your opinion on abortion, gay-marriage or LGTBQ-rights in general, religious freedom/secular government? Do you at least have the “leave me alone / I’ll leave you alone” philosophy for that? I think I've seen you support the MAGA idea on that as well. Maybe I've missed some of your centrist ideas, but if you
don't want to say...
You have supported the hard right-wing line on all these issues and I have NEVER seen you push back on extreme right-wing ideas of the MAGA loyalists.
If you don't have ANY differences of opinion with MAGA, then you are MAGA.
If you STILL like Trump more than Obama, than you are MAGA or just a racist.
The only thing Obama did was being half black, while Trump is telling and reposting KKK/NeoNazi propaganda. He is even using Hitler's retoric.
There is even en exodus from hard-line MAGA loyalists at this moment. He is bleeding his base. Only hardcore MAGA is still supporting and defending him.
You think of your own ideas as common sense, because you get fed them 24/7.
If you watch any other ideas, it's only for rage-bait. Face it, you're NOT a centrist.
If you cannot tell me anything concrete about your disagreements with the right and your agreements with the left, than you are NOT a centrist.
I indeed lean way left. I am an active member of the Socialist Party. I don't pretend to be anything else. I just don't have all the straw-man ideas that your side puts
on the left. The Socialist Party addressed tensions around immigration and multiculturalism before the issue became mainstream in Dutch politics, while center-right and right-wing parties supported large-scale labor migration during the postwar economic boom, because employers demanded additional low-wage labor. The SP is still the most anti-labor immigration party and proposes real policies to reduce it, while our populist right-wingers didn't get anything done,
in the year they dominated politics until they pulled the plug. They tried illegal policies together with CUTS on the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), the agency that is needed to send back asylum seekers that don't have a legitimate claim for asylum. That only worsens the problems we face.
That's INTENTIONAL, because they need problems from asylum seekers for people to keep voting for them. They don't want solutions, they want problems.
In the meantime, they betrayed all the other promises they made to their voters.
The only difference between them and Trump is that Trump is doing everything that the law and Constitution should protect against, while our Rule of Law held.
On everything else, he is betraying his voters completely. If you don't see that,
or you keep defending it, than you are NOT a centrist. Or very stupid.
If I am wrong on any of your ideas, I'm here for it.
It provides more time to implement a new law rather than just slamming the door and prompting huge, depilating expenses.

Major Zohran Mamdani is eliminating lots of regulation that is NOT designed to protect Consumers, Workers, Competitors, Innovators, Local communities or The public health, but has skewed to favor large corporations instead. Or they are indeed intended to protect the citizens, but their implementation was very inefficient. He manages to simplify or eliminate regulation, WITHOUT negative effects on the people who regulations should protect.
The Newsmax article focuses entirely on financial relief for supermarkets, failing to mention significant downsides for the environment, public health, workers, and industry innovators. By delaying the transition away from high-potency hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants from 2027 to 2032, the rule change allows super-pollutants that trap thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide to leak into the atmosphere for an extra five years, worsening the long-term public health impacts of climate change.
Furthermore, the decision actively punishes domestic manufacturers and innovators who already spent billions of dollars to develop eco-friendly alternatives ahead of the original deadline, leaving their investments stranded while foreign competitors advance.
Finally, changing the rules mid-game creates confusion for HVAC technicians and workers trying to manage inconsistent standards, and because the legal supply of legacy chemicals is still shrinking, the delay could actually trigger severe supply shortages and higher repair bills for local businesses.
Potassium bromate is already banned in the EU, Canada, China, India, and California because of cancer concerns. This would be something that Robert F. Kennedy Jr would ban, if he actually believed in protecting the citizens from harmful chemicals in food.
from being poisoned, and he didn't get it. He's defending deregulation, by saying
that the poor 'small' business New York Pizza will be harmed, if the evil socialist
forces them to stop poisoning consumers. And it isn't even true.
No sign of understanding that this wasn't his best argument ever
and no sign that he will learn anything from being this wrong either.
If these owners of pizza restaurants don't know how to make a pizza without potassium bromide maybe they should consider a career change.
It's like when Domino's famously overhauled its entire core recipe in the US around 2009 to 2010 after publicly admitting their crust "tasted like cardboard", their expansion into Europe required a completely different, long-term operational
and chemical shift.
Here's what Domino's had to do to get Europeans to eat their pizza:
1. Cleaner Ingredients (Regulatory Adjustments): American fast-food dough relies heavily on sugars, artificial dough conditioners, and preservatives to survive long shipping times. Because European Union regulations strictly restrict or ban many
of these chemicals, Domino's had to completely strip down its recipe to a much simpler, cleaner formula.
2. Less Sugar, Lighter Texture (Taste Preferences): European consumers overwhelmingly rejected the heavy, dense, and sweet "cake-like" crusts popular in the United States. To match local continental palates, the company formulated lighter, crispier, and more authentic "Italian-style" thin crusts.
3. Fresh, Local Supply Chains (Logistical Shift): In the U.S., dough is heavily chilled and shipped long distances from centralized factories. Because Europeans expect fresh bread, Domino's had to reinvent its logistics by building local regional hubs
in Europe to deliver fresh, unfrozen dough daily, or by shifting to mixing the dough directly inside the local stores.
Having worked in Italian/Pizzarestaurants for decades I can assure you that undercooked pizza is not as uncommon as you may think.

It will be very easy to attack Paxton on his record of rank corruption.
Exactly the type of opponent that a real populist can use to his advantage.
Even if Talarico loses, it will cost a fortune in attack ads, that takes away from others.
one American 🇺🇸 talking about the problems here
And 2 commie bastards bashing him
These people think it is perfectly fine for muslims to kill over 3000 people in 1 city and then 25 years later literally be running that same city they tried to destroy.
Please explain to me how that makes sense?
Fucking dumb ass Democrats
fulfilling his campaign promises, while serving the Rule of Law and The Constitution.
People are not defined by their religion, but by their actions. If you cared about
The Constitution, you would understand that.
I am not fine with a traitor who attempted a coup, lying his ass off to fool the people into voting for him, while a billionaire is spending hundreds of millions in an illegal bribing campaign, then directly after getting elected starting to misuse his powers, abusing the immunity he got from his political pawns, and doing the exact opposite of everything
he promised and promised not to do.
