Why is the US allowed to negotiate for Ukraine?

We are no longer a major contributor to their defense

A recent poll found that 52% of Americans would not buy a Tesla for political reasons

It takes a special kind of businessman to alienate over half of his potential customers

Oh no!

Now he's going after national monuments!

But...the Americans who have been kicked, dragged, and detained do not have the right color skin

Trump, whose family has gotten obscenely rich this year from crypto bribes, signed an executive order allowing Americans to invest money from their retirement accounts in crypto

What could go wrong?

How did that showdown work out for you?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The only way that Democrats told military personnel to disobey Trump's orders is if the orders are ILLEGAL

Is Trump admitting that he is giving illegal orders?

Trump's tariffs only apply to goods, not services

Here is their effect on employment on industries that produce goods ⬇️

So. Much. Winning.*

*unless you are employed in a goods-producing industry

Trump's DOJ broke promises?

So hard to believe.

We have not seen this level of unemployment since the end of the pandemic.

Trumponomics: putting Americans last

Don Bacon is a GOP Congressman who posted this

Republicans are running away from Trump
November 22, 2025 at 5:26 PM
Just to be clear - this is a post that would have been unthinkable just a month ago

A GOP Congressman from PA breaking with Trump on the weak sauce Ukrainian peace plan

Swing state GOP pols are running away from Trump

In almost every industry, job cuts are worse in 2025 vs. just last year.

In total, over a million jobs were cur this year in the US, versus less than 700k in 2024

The Trump effect

Dems on the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter to Pam Bondi

Apparently, the SDNY was investigating Epstein's co-conspirators until JANUARY 2025, when they were ordered to turn over the investigation to the DOJ

Trump's DOJ killed the investigation, calling the survivors "not credible"

Joe Biden told Americans that the rise in income outpaced the rise in prices.

This was true ON AVERAGE, but not what people wanted to hear. He paid the political price

Trump is telling people that prices are down

This is just an outright lie, and Americans know it.

If only someone could have prevented this tragedy

Someone with the power to prevent an anti-vaxx fraud from being confirmed to be the Secretary of HHS

Someone with medical expertise...

GOP infighting is so much fun to watch.

Over 1/3 of new DHS recruits are so out of shape, they are washing out at the academy during the physical fitness tests

Who knew that racist, fascist bully wannabes were such weaklings?

So. Much. Winning.

This summer, a Border Patrol agent in Tucson was arrested and charged with 24 felony criminal counts, including 10 counts of child sex trafficking

He is the fourth CBP agent THIS YEAR to be arrested or sentenced for sex crimes in ARIZONA alone

Nearly HALF new DHS recruits were sent home from the academy because they could not pass the written exam..

The exam was an open-book test

They are not recruiting the best and the brightest.

Perfect answer!

DHS is rushing new hires to their academy without background checks

What could go wrong?

“ICE officials...discovered some of the recruits failed drug testing, have disqualifying criminal backgrounds or don’t meet the physical or academic requirements to serve,”

200 recruits have been dismissed
