Someone is reading my posts even though they have me on ignore.

The South African president says kill the boar (the white man)

The South African President did not say: kill white people. You know it. That is why you have never put up a link.

Friends of yours Elvis?

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55937133

Am I supposed to care about the racism in the past? I did not endorse that, but I am supposed to pay for that because of my skin color? LOL.

But you shouldn't get tax cuts for your skin color either!

But if some leader is currently killing his citizens, I want to make sure our leaders do not support that.

You sure about that Elvis 2008? But it is ok for USGOV to support Israel?

Oh wait, because it is white people killing brown people, I should not be allowed to have an opinion.

We are all allowed to have our own opinions. I would expect nothing less from a Republican (truthful adjective redacted). You are not allowed your own facts.

So you are not just a traitor to your sex, you are a traitor to your race, the human race.

The same race that allowed this:

Nope, sorry, the US Constitution is for Americans not people who come to our country illegally and commit crimes, and when we were founded as a nation, we had slaves and only land owners could vote. Before an income tax and women could vote, the USA was the #1 economy in the world.

I don't care about Fentanyl. My fellow Americans affected do not look like me. I could care less. The problem should be handled in the same way the CRACK epidemic was handled: Long Ass Prison Sentences! Deportation to El Salvador.

ROTFLMAO!

A pension is earned. Social Security is earned

End the Social Security program. Right now! Won't bother me none one bit. I don't collect from the program. Elvis 2008 are you and your Colombian prostitutes benefiting directly from the tax cuts in the The Enormous Welfare for the Rich Bill.

And if he signs me then I'll be a law, least I hope pray that I will but today I am still just a bill.

[EihTooms]

Of course, as everyone knows, this is nothing new for the Repub Party. That has been the Party of, by and for the Elite and Oligarchs for at least 100 years.

Which is why Donald Trump chose the Repub Party to launch and establish his political career of conning numbskull Repub voters into sending him money for creating legislation against their own interests while being Bought, Bought and Bought some more by the highest bidders among any domestic or foreign Oligarchs out there.

House Republican tax bill favors the rich how much they stand to gain, and why

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/23/hous...ndroidappshare

A tax and spending package passed Thursday by House Republicans funnels the bulk of its financial benefits to wealthy households, according to economists and tax experts.

The rich benefit via a slew of tax cuts tied to businesses, the SALT deduction, the estate tax, income tax rates and opportunity zones.

Lower earners would be worse off, on average, due to cuts to programs such as Medicaid and SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, analyses show.

[Elvis 2008]

When placed in context, it was obviously a good campaign rallying cry for more small money donors. And it worked!

In the 2024 election, 75% of donations came from small money donors for the Dems.

If you think Kamala got $1 billion in donations from small donors, I have a bridge to sell you.

FACTS DO MATTER.

Please tell me how "it worked" in 2024 when your dumb Democratic douche lost? How about this fact? You were dead wrong about who was going to win. And, Spidy, Mr. CCP liar, is telling the biggest lie of all: I am Mr. Facts. What a joke! The same douche telling me how wonderful the air is in China is lecturing me on facts. LOL.

Excellent question and well answered!

You only need to look at the current clown show Repub admin, to realize, the level of corruption, untrustworthy governing, lies, cover-ups and grifting, to know this is what MAGA nation emulates.

And what clown show is that? The South African president says kill the boar (the white man), and Democratic douches just like you who are in favor of killing Trump are cheering that on. And why? Because black slaves built the White House? Hey douche, how about African blacks enslaving one another? How about all the whites enslaved in Biblical times? And more importantly, why do you give a fuck about any of that which happened in the past?

Am I supposed to care about the racism in the past? I did not endorse that, but I am supposed to pay for that because of my skin color? LOL.

But if some leader is currently killing his citizens, I want to make sure our leaders do not support that. Oh wait, because it is black people killing white people, I should not be allowed to have an opinion. And why is that? Because of my skin color?

So just admit the truth, Mr. Facts, Mr. Democratic douche. You do not give a fuck about the history of slavery. All you care is about is pretending to be on the black person's side today by beating up other white men so they vote Democrat, and your checks keep flowing. So you are not just a traitor to your sex, you are a traitor to your race, the human race.

[EihTooms]

Yeah, Obama fooled me on that for damned sure. I was so pissed at the bailout and Obama had this team of economists that really were for putting the people first. As soon as he got in office, he kicked them out and put in the Robert Rubin and Larry Summers types. If you recall, Summers was making $5 million a year working one day a week for some hedge fund and quit that to work in the White House. Gee, I wonder why.

Anyway, Biden is having trouble getting donations for his library, probably because donors think the money will end up in Dr. Jill and Hunter's hands. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...mocrats-threat.

A buddy of mine told me that Harry Truman did not accept any fees for speaking after he was out of office as he thought that was selling the presidency. He also said, "Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook. "

And for people who want to know why we voted for Trump, part of the reason is that he does not need our money. Trump donated his millions in salary to charity, and yet the Democratic douches AKA the paid Chinese hacks, are still saying he is out for himself, https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamand...e-the-details/.

So the real reason Trump is so hated is that he cannot be bought.

Just when I think at least one MAGA has figured out Trump is in this exclusively for the grift in order to enrich himself, his family and his close circle of cronies, preferably at the great expense of everyone else, and all of them can't be so stupid not to have noticed, the above idiocy from Elvis pops up again. Lolol.

Dude. Seriously. LOL. The man is actually laughing right into your face as publicly as he can for falling for his con:

Trump Thinks It Was Stupid Not to Cash in Harder on His First Term. Hes Making Up for It.
May 22, 2025

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-thi...130000574.html

President Donald Trump is hosting a dinner for top holders of his $TRUMP meme coin, who collectively accumulated about $150 million of the crypto asset, driving up its price and benefiting his family business.

Trump has privately expressed regret for not maximizing his personal wealth during his previous term in office, and continues to blur the line between public service and private gain, accepting gifts like a proposed $400 million 747 jumbo jet from the government of Qatar.

The Trump administration, under Trump's executive orders, has weakened anti-corruption safeguards, including pausing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and halting criminal prosecutions for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, allowing for open profiteering based on public office.

[MarquisdeSade1]

Employing the exact same methods he employed to lay the groundwork for, usher in and exacerbate Trump's Pandemic Part 1, resulting in millions of deaths around the world, including at least one million American deaths, the collapse of Global Supply chains and all of the hyper-inflation and millions upon millions of American jobs wiped out that followed, the school and business closures, the international travel for sex and tourism changed forever and not for the better and on and on, Repub Donald J. Trump is working very hard to bring Trump's Pandemic Part 2 to the world:

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago.
May 21, 2025

https://www.npr.org/2025/05/21/nx-s1...-public-health

Bear in mind, Repub Donald J. Trump didn't begin to emploly those Trump's Pandemic Part 1 Creation Methods in earnest until 2018, his second year in office after doing exactly nothing but play golf and come up with insulting nicknames for his critics in his first year aside from finally signing and passing his one and only first term economic "stimulus" legislation, the TCJA, on the very last business day of 2017, that added Trillions to the deficit but created a Million FEWER jobs with it than without it.

And then, of course, in 2019 he swung into greater action to create Trump's Pandemic Part 1.

Next, as everyone knows, after he was finally successful in creating Trump's Pandemic Part 1 in early 2020, he spent that entire critical year lying about it, mocking the known mitigation measures, exacerbating the death and economic disaster effects of it and on and on until he eventually handed the incoming Dem Biden-Harris Administration the Worst Economy and Job Losses since Repub Herbert Hoover and the Great Repub Depression to fix.

Still, it took Repub Trump working to create Trump's Pandemic Part 1 for at least 2-3 years of his first term before he and his supporters were inevitably rewarded with those above stated results.

Yes, the Dem Biden-Harris Administration did fix it in truly historic fashion, handing the next incoming Administration the Envy of the World Economy with historically strong economic numbers and conditions.

Lololol.

But THIS time, Repub Donald J. Trump has gotten in there and started employing those now tried and true Trump's Pandemic Part 2 Creation Methods right away, in the very first months of the first year of the 2nd term that 77.3 Million total numbskulls but most especially that relative tiny handful of angry Muslims in the only three swing states that mattered, and by a razor-thin margin, gave him.

So those of you who did not vote for Harris and therefore de facto voted FOR Trump's Pandemic Part 2 along with whatever other historically disastrous Great Trump / Repub Economic Catastrophe he can conjure up will no doubt be rewarded with a doozy of a Trump's Pandemic Part 2 and all of the usual death and economic destruction that goes with it if you will just try to have patience.

Your Repub Donald J. Trump is definitely working on it!

He's almost 80 I'm in my 50's and it happens.

But the more obvious point of responding is he most certainly didn't lose the election.

The Oligarchy installed Dirtbag Joe as they did Scumbag Barry and oh boy do they regret it now LMFAO.

Scumbag Barry gave us Our Lord and Savior in 2016 and Scumbag Joe handed it right back to him in 2024 Thanks Scumbag Joe! LMFAO.

Is that the best the Dirtbag left has for 44 more months? Childish memes? Ok so be it LMFAO.

Is that your idea of 3rd world therapy? LMFAO.

And even tried to fucking kill him 2 x.

Scumbag Bubba was born in a shack to a single mother in the hills of Arkansas, broke as a homeless bum.

How cheap and easy was it to buy him.

Scumbag Biden too.

Scumbag Barry too.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/o...orruption.html

This is hardly the first time foreign dictatorships have funded American politicians' pet projects in the hopes of currying favor. It was not long ago that the most popular nexus between foreign regimes and American political leaders was the Clinton Foundation. For years, it accepted millions of dollars linked to some of the most rapacious regimes extant, including those of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in addition to a number of Russian, Kazakh and other oligarchs.

Could these regimes have been interested in the "simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed," as the Clinton Foundation pledged? Sure, theoretically. But that hardly explains why, by the early 2020's — when Hillary Clinton was no longer near the center of American politics — donations to the foundation cratered, falling some 90 percent from their highs when she was a secretary of state and a perennial presidential candidate. As Sarah Chayes, one of the United States' leading anticorruption researchers, wrote in 2020, the Clinton Foundation was hardly an anodyne nonprofit but instead resembled "the USA Versions of the 'charities' run by corrupt ruling families from Honduras to Uzbekistan. ".

To accomplish its mission of increasing the health security of the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that it "conducts critical science and provides health information" to protect the nation. But since President Trump's administration assumed power in January, many of the platforms the CDC used to communicate with the public have gone silent, an NPR analysis found.

Many of the CDC's newsletters have stopped being distributed, workers at the CDC say. Health alerts about disease outbreaks, previously sent to health professionals subscribed to the CDC's Health Alert Network, haven't been dispatched since March. The agency's main social media channels have come under new ownership of the Department of Health and Human Services, emails reviewed by NPR show, and most have gone more than a month without posting their own new content.

Bear in mind, Repub Donald J. Trump didn't begin to emploly those Trump's Pandemic Part 1 Creation Methods in earnest until 2018, his second year in office after doing exactly nothing but play golf and come up with insulting nicknames for his critics in his first year aside from finally signing and passing his one and only first term economic "stimulus" legislation, the TCJA, on the very last business day of 2017, that added Trillions to the deficit but created a Million FEWER jobs with it than without it.

Your Repub Donald J. Trump is definitely working on it!

[Sirioja]

Sirioja let stop with making things personal. Trump is the President of the Dis-United States of America. His is not my old fat stupid Trump any more than the alleged drug user who currently heads up France is yours personally. You got that?

Would you like to quote a reference that shows that France supports Ukraine more than the Dis-United States of America has?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts!

Ask Ukrainians. You mean Macron takes drugs? Never heard of this in France and I much prefer Macron, even not perfect, than a dangerous bullshiting liar like Trump. I can t understand Americans re elected him, unbelievable.

[Spidy]

Top 1% are not all billionaires, you dumb Democratic douche.

Who said it was?

You're level of understanding and comprehension, is just overwhelmingly so freakin' bad? May I suggest you think before speaking next time or hire a full-time interpreter?

However, my man-crush on Buffett ended in 2008. ...

Who'd have thunk it, from that diatribe of bile? Or was it a blowhard bromance tribute? (...kkkk!)

[Spidy]

https://www.thenation.com/article/so...h-party-obama/

Some recent US figures ...theblaze.com.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2...ocratic-party/

And then there is this comical attempt to say the ultra rich billionaire class is evenly split:

What's hilariously comical, is your article from "2014" on billionaire donations (...kkkk!)

Yet another failed and feeble attempt to, provide recent FACTS and EVIDENCE to support your woeful and pitiful MAGA arguments. Yet another round of mish mash of incoherent rambling, with the intent to obfuscate the FACTS, with your usual "gish gallop" and "flood the zone" Steve Bannon, crap.

https://theweek.com/politics/us-elec...es-are-backing

Musk is the only one who has openly admitted switching parties, ...

The notion that Bezos and Zuckerberg are Republicans is side splittingly funny.

In fact, I would say that in 2020 that all the people on this list (Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bloomberg, and Buffett) were all anti-Trump and anti-Republican.

For all your bile, weak stupid arguments and "MAGA gish gallop", about "...this billionaire person was once a Dem, so that makes them Dem billionaire donor...", is so far fetch, as most rotten billionaires, only real fealty is to money and which idiot party and politician's pocket can I pick?

But Elvis 2008, given that same logic, you've used on the billionaires, you once told me, that you voted for President Barrack Obama, so...

• I guess that makes YOU a Dem D-BAG for LIFE! (...kkkk!)
  
  • The constant smack you talk and "gish gallop", is a never ending perpetual literal contradiction of yourself and the Dems so love castigate as D-BAGS.
  • So what kind of Dem D-BAG (to barrow your phraseology), does that make you?

Then there is Bernie Sanders himself, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...mocratic-party

When placed in context, it was obviously a good campaign rallying cry for more small money donors. And it worked!

In the 2024 election, 75% of donations came from small money donors for the Dems.

FACTS DO MATTER...

Elvis 2008 why do you lie so much?
When the the South African President say that? Put up the quote.

He said this in the White House (the house that slaves built) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...-white-farmers

You are entitled to your own opinions Elvis 2008 but not your own facts.

Excellent question and well answered!

You only need to look at the current clown show Repub admin, to realize, the level of corruption, untrustworthy governing, lies, cover-ups and grifting, to know this is what MAGA nation emulates.

But take this current example, as I explain below, as you've identified, Elvis not entitled to his own FACTS:

But the fact that you keep going on about how Republicans are the party of the billionaires is fucking comical, Spidy. You are in the party of the rich and are just too dumb to know it.

(...kkkk!) Is that your assessment, based on your dated FACTS in your 2014 and other non-related articles? Which BTW, at worst, had both parties as equal donors, back in 2014, as your diatribe of gish gallop, tried to laugh off as "side splittingly funny"!

Although I'm aware the Repubs are a backwater, BACKWARDS looking party (as is evident from your 2014 article), lets look at something more up-to-date, shall we?

Billionaires Buying Elections: They’ve Come to Collect, April 2, 2025 https://americansfortaxfairness.org/...me-to-collect/

• Billionaire spending heavily favored Republicans. Over two-thirds (70%) of billionaire-family contributions went in support of GOP candidates and conservative causes. Less than a quarter (23%) backed Democratic hopefuls and progressive causes.
• Almost three-quarters (71%) of the total amount used by outside spending groups to attack the Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, came from billionaires. Billionaires supplied over three-fifths (61%) of all the outside dollars spent praising Donald Trump.
• The vast majority of billionaire money supported Republican candidates. The top 100 billionaire-family donors made 70% ($1.84 billion) of their donations to committees that backed GOP candidates, while 23% ($594 million) went to entities backing Democratic candidates.
• Elon Musk was the largest political spender of the 2024 election cycle, contributing over $278 million to Republican candidates—almost all of it in direct support of Donald Trump’s presidential reelection bid.
• Billionaire family spending on the seven most competitive U.S. Senate races favors Republican candidates over Democratic ones by a 7:1 margin. Billionaire families spent nearly $78 million supporting GOP candidates versus around $11 million spent in support of Democrats. https://americansfortaxfairness.org/...-races-report/

So now that the 2024 Election billionaire spending results are finalized, and without speculation, by uninformed MAGA pundits, it's CLEAR Repub billionaires, are indeed the corrupting political bastards, we knew them to be.

And don't want to pay their fair share of taxes, like parasites! Don't be FOOLED, and don't let them pick your pockets!

[MarquisdeSade1]

Remember when you said that it was a dream that USA companies would bring industry back to the USA.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/...z-survey-finds

Allianz researchers found that roughly 90 percent of USA Companies plan to reshore or switch to domestic suppliers in the wake of the April 2 global tariff announcement. USA Firms ranked among the most likely in the world to pursue domestic sourcing, alongside companies in Italy and Spain.

And many Americans are willing to take on higher prices as a result:

A recent poll of Epoch Times readers shows strong support for Trump's trade reset, with the majority seeing the tariffs as a fair and necessary step to protect USA Industry and bolster the nation's long-term economic independence.

There is a link to the Allianz piece and 80% of companies in the USA are going to abandon using China in their supply chain.

As for why China is going to collapse, it is the same old story. They are just printing up too much money. https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/...mbined-5615055

China's latest official figures show that by the end of Feb. , the country's broad money supply (M2) balance reached 299.56 trillion yuan ($42.16 trillion). This figure is higher than the money supply in both the United States and the European Union (EU) combined.

Now, in normal circumstances, you would see a currency collapse given all this money printing but China has a currency peg. https://www.investopedia.com/article...uan-pegged.asp.

The Chinese yuan has had a currency peg since 1997. It used to peg its currency to the USA Dollar but since 2005 it has managed its currency against a basket of currencies with weightings determined by levels of trading with its foreign partners. The currency is not allowed to float more than 2% against a fixed level.

A lot of people have been critical of Peter Zeihan calling for the collapse of China, but if you notice, they leave this part, probably the most important part, out of his analysis, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHlrgUdgKP0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=XupM5_zHDbM

In fact, their leaving out that part, the massive money printing, makes me think they are paid Chinese hacks.

So China would normally just be doing a Japan style demographic slowdown if not for this money situation. In fact, it already is.

The slowdown though does not solve the money / debt problem, and Trump is squeezing China when it is most vulnerable. China is going to have even lower foreign currency reserves after what Trump is doing.

And the simplest way to reduce the money supply is to devalue the currency. Argentina did the exact same thing China is going to have to do. They pegged their peso at one to one to the dollar in 2000, but they had a reduction in dollars available to them because their economy was not doing well.

So Argentina took care of its money supply issue temporarily by devaluing the currency. It went from one peso to the dollar to three pesos to the dollar.

This is the part you do not get about the savings rate. When that happened, everyone in Argentina who had savings saw their savings tumble by 2/3, but everyone who had debt saw their debt go down by 2/3. If you had $900,000 in the bank, now you had $300,000. If you had $900,000 in debt, now you have just $300,000 in debt. But that still was not enough to get their house in order.

And make no mistake on who holds the debt in China. Whether it is corporate or at the local debt, it is all held by the CCCP. Sure, China has more wealth than Argentina but it did not print up anywhere near the amount China is doing.

As for Trump, as Democrats are fond of saying, he is no businessman, some of his companies went bankrupt. Yeah, no shit. That means he knows what to look for when things are going badly in a company or country. Most of his life he has sold to the rich. He knows who is wealthy and who is fake.

But yeah, the collapse of the Chinese yuan and Chinese economy is inevitable.

Some recent US figures on the distribution of income by party: 65 percent of taxpayer households that earn more than $500,000 per year are now in Democratic districts; 74 percent of the households in Republican districts earn less than $100,00 per year. Add to this what we knew already, namely that the 10 richest congressional districts in the country all have Democratic representatives in Congress. The above numbers incidentally come from the Internal Revenue Service, via Bloomberg, and are likely to be more reliable than if they came from Project Veritas via theblaze.com.

We cross-checked the Open Secrets list of the top 100 individuals donating to outside spending groups in the current election against the Forbes list of the world's billionaires and found that, as of June 19, there were 22 individuals on the Open Secrets list who were billionaires. Of those 22 billionaires, 13 -- or more than half -- gave predominantly to liberal groups or groups affiliated with the Democratic Party.

And then there is this comical attempt to say the ultra rich billionaire class is evenly split:

Musk is the only one who has openly admitted switching parties, and the result has been having you Democratic douches burn up his assets.

The notion that Bezos and Zuckerberg are Republicans is side splittingly funny.

In fact, I would say that in 2020 that all the people on this list (Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bloomberg, and Buffett) were all anti-Trump and anti-Republican.

Then there is Bernie Sanders himself, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...mocratic-party

"The 70's, 60's, Democrats caught on that you could raise a lot of money from wealthy people," Sanders explained.

"And it gets back to campaign financing and all that stuff. So you got a Democratic establishment now, which is funded by wealthy people. You have consultants who are really way out of touch with reality, who make a whole lot of money in campaigns. And working class is ignored," Sanders said.

He added that Donald Trump succeeded where Democrats fell short because at least he pretended to care about the working class.

But the fact that you keep going on about how Republicans are the party of the billionaires is fucking comical, Spidy. You are in the party of the rich and are just too dumb to know it.

2008 was fixed also, Scumbag Bubba rec'd more delegates than Scumbag Barry and the Wall St controlled / DNC handed it to Scumbag Barry.

They calculated they could get more done via the Hope and Change platitude the new "I feel your pain".

And he made sure to crush the 99% movement as soon as the fone rang to do so, like the good house slave that he was.
