Friday Talking Points -- Out-Of-Control Eggflation!
In just about every presidential election, the political punditry tries to frame what happened in it in the easiest possible way, sometimes pinning a win or loss on a certain demographic slice of the electorate (remember "soccer moms" and "NASCAR dads"?) and sometimes putting the focus on a single oversimplified issue. One of the big themes in this regard for the last election was the price of eggs. True to form, they even slapped a cutesy label on it: voters were angry about "eggflation."
Which is why we sincerely hope that Donald Trump is asked about it as often as possible -- say, once a week, at a minimum -- now that he is president again. Because for all his promises, eggflation is going to be a very tough problem for him to solve.
During Trump's first term, the average national price of a dozen large eggs mostly hovered around a dollar. There were two upward spikes which rose above $2.50 per dozen (but stayed below $3.00), one of which happened at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Joe Biden saw things get worse. When inflation spiked to nine percent, the price of eggs also spiked, to over $5.00 per dozen. This did fall right back down again (to once again hover around a single dollar per dozen), but then it started rising again at the end of 2023.
This month, eggs hit an all-time high. The average price of a dozen large eggs is now $6.55. And over $2 of this spike happened after Trump's election. That's where we are, at the start of his second term. And the current spike could go even higher quite soon, which would mean consumers would continue paying many multiples of the dollar-a-dozen prices they had previously been used to, for the foreseeable future. That's if they can even find eggs to buy, as it has become a rather common sight to see supermarkets with empty egg shelves and signs saying: "Sorry, no eggs today."
Democrats would do well to prod the media into asking Trump about this as often as possible: "Why haven't egg prices come down like you promised?" Because it is currently the best example of the difference between what he promised on the campaign trail and what he is actually focused on now that he's in office. For all the populist talk, Trump is much more interested in keeping his billionaire buddies happy. He really does not care how much eggs cost average Americans.
Of course, there's a reason for this spike in egg prices (and decline in availability). It's called "bird flu" (H1N1), and although it is not all that well-known to the public (as of now), it is already decimating the flocks of laying hens that produce America's eggs. It's basic economics: fewer birds laying eggs means a drop in supply, which means higher prices. And when farmers are being forced to kill their entire flocks because of infection, it doesn't seem likely to get better any time soon.
Trump has already exacerbated the problem, by bringing a halt to meetings of doctors and scientists (for no particular reason), and by naming R.F.K. Jr. to head the federal department that deals with diseases and pandemics. Sooner or later the anti-science moves of the Trump administration are going to make things harder for those fighting bird flu, which is only going to make everything worse (and make the price of eggs go up even further). The only real question is whether both Democrats and the media make a big deal of it or not, really.
So far, Democrats are pretty demoralized, which is completely understandable at this point. There are plenty of people outside Washington who are demoralized as well. The "Resistance" is exhausted, to put it bluntly. And there simply is no clear leader of the Democratic Party out there fighting back against Trump's actions. In fact, the biggest public pushback Trump has so far gotten has come from a bishop during a sermon and a federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan.
Here's how the New York Times summed things up:
As President Trump pushes aggressively to reshape the federal government, Democrats have retreated into a political crouch that reflects their powerlessness in Washington.
Far from rising up in outrage, the opposition party's lawmakers have taken a muted wait-and-see approach as Mr. Trump tries to end birthright citizenship, halt diversity programs in the federal government, undo foreign policy alliances and seek retribution against his perceived political enemies.
In some cases, Democrats are even making a show of working with Republicans.
The article goes on to report on what the Democrats have come up with:
A group of 70 progressive House Democrats and six Senate Democrats gathered at the Capitol on Thursday to try to settle on a single message of opposition to Mr. Trump as he takes aim at myriad liberal constituencies and priorities. The assembled Democrats concluded that their best course of action was to focus on economic concerns, which they believe led to the party's November defeats.
Representative Greg Casar, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, was the one to call the meeting. He put this message in starker language: "It's going to be really critical for Democrats to point out what Trump's real intentions are, which is to screw people over on pocketbook issues in service of the mega-rich."
Perhaps two wings of the Democratic Party can come together on this message. After all, it is merely a restatement of the old Clinton-era "It's the economy, stupid" slogan, as well as exactly what Bernie Sanders has been saying for decades now. And it can all be wrapped into one easy question, really: "Why haven't egg prices come down like Trump promised?"
As mentioned, the best news of the week came from a federal judge, who immediately put a hold on Trump's executive order to deny the birthright citizenship (to all babies born within the United States) that is actually guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. To say that the judge "laughed the Trump administration out of court" is a slight exaggeration, but not by much. Here's the story:
In a hearing held three days after Mr. Trump issued his executive order, a Federal District Court judge, John C. Coughenour, sided with Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon, the four states that sued, signing a restraining order that blocks Mr. Trump's executive order for 14 days, renewable upon expiration. "This is a blatantly unconstitutional order," he said.
"Frankly," he continued, challenging Trump administration lawyers, "I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind."
. . .
To that, Judge Coughenour's decision was emphatic: "I've been on the bench for over four decades," he said. "This is a blatantly unconstitutional order. Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?"
This isn't the only case challenging the order either -- 18 other states have sued in a different lawsuit and other lawsuits have also been filed, so there's plenty of time for other judges to weigh in as well. After all, they have a previous Supreme Court decision and over 100 years of precedent to back them up.
Sadly, there's no guarantee as to what the current Supreme Court will do when one of these cases winds up before them (which seems pretty inevitable, at this point). They have shown a remarkable ability to just flat-out ignore parts of the Constitution they don't approve of, after all.
That's about it for the positive news for Democrats, really. Just for this week, though, we're not even going to attempt to cover the firehose of negative events from the past week -- we're just as exhausted as everyone else, sorry.
We will close by pointing out one sterling example of journalism from HuffPost this week, who ran their inauguration story under the headline: "Trump Makes History: First Convicted Felon To Take Oath As President." Here are the first three and the final paragraphs of the article, which pulls no punches:
Donald Trump made twofold history Monday, becoming the first to take the oath of office despite having tried to end American democracy, as well as becoming the first presidential convicted felon.
Administering the oath was Chief Justice John Roberts, whose Supreme Court conservative majority paved the way for Trump's return by sidetracking a criminal prosecution based on his Jan. 6, 2021, attempt to remain in power.
The ceremony took place in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, where four years and two weeks earlier, a mob of Trump's supporters -- inflamed by his lies that the 2020 election had been stolen from him -- rampaged through the building, searching for and threatening to murder Trump's own vice president at the time, Mike Pence, for refusing his demand to award him a second term.
. . .
Trump is only the second president in U.S. history to have won two nonconsecutive terms. The first was Grover Cleveland, who won the elections in 1884 and 1892. Cleveland, however, did not try to overturn democracy after losing to Benjamin Harrison in 1888. Nor was he a convicted criminal.
We have to give at least an Honorable Mention for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for taking Elon Musk to task for giving what clearly appears to be a Nazi salute during a speech in the midst of all the inauguration frenzy. Musk denied this, and went on to crack some Nazi-infused jokes on social media, showing how clueless he truly can be at times.
A.O.C. wasn't having any of it. She shot back:
This is the United States of America. And I don't care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal. In this country, we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational, defining thing.
Of course, she's right. Condemning Nazis and anything associated with them used to be a "foundational, defining thing" in this country.
But our Most Impressive Democrat Of The Week this week goes out to all 22 of the state-level attorneys general who immediately challenged Trump trying to change the U.S. Constitution's clear text with an executive order. We wrote earlier this week at length on the subject of birthright citizenship (and the idiocy of interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment in any other way), but suffice it to say that the judge who has already put a hold on the order got it right -- it is "blatantly unconstitutional" on the face of it.
Here's how just one of those attorneys general put it, after filing a lawsuit:
Mr. Trump's attempt to limit birthright citizenship was "extraordinary and extreme," said New Jersey's attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, who led one of the legal efforts along with the attorneys general from California and Massachusetts.
"Presidents are powerful," he said, "but he is not a king. He cannot rewrite the Constitution with a stroke of the pen."
For the next four years, these same state attorneys general are going to be the Democrats' front line of defense against Trump's reign. It'll be up to them to sue the Trump administration to prevent clearly unconstitutional orders and actions from taking effect.
Of course, many (if not most) of these cases will wind up before the Supreme Court, which is not exactly a comforting thought, but perhaps they'll surprise everyone by not going along with Trump's worst impulses. Trump actually had a historically-terrible record during his first term, when it came to Supreme Court decisions on his policies. So perhaps (just perhaps...) the same thing might be true now. It's impossible to say, really.
But no matter what the outcome, at least the state attorneys general can (at the very least) delay things, to some extent or another. So for entering the fray almost immediately (the order was signed on Monday, the 22 states sued, and by the end of the week the order was put on hold -- which is lightning speed, when it comes to federal courts), and for clearly winning the first round, the Democratic state attorneys general who filed the various suits are all our Most Impressive Democrats Of The Week.
[There are too many state attorneys general to list contact information for each of them, but this PBS article (at the very bottom) has a handy list of them all, if you'd like to let them know you appreciate their efforts.]
We understand the bind President Joe Biden was in. We really do. If he had decided not to issue pre-emptive pardons to many of those on Trump's "enemies list," it could have resulted in them being harassed by the very thing Trump is facetiously promising to end (while in reality, putting it on steroids): the "weaponization" of the Justice Department.
So Biden went ahead and issued the pardons. But by doing so, he set a rather horrible precedent which is undoubtedly going to be copied by other presidents leaving office as well. It will give all the "whataboutism" enthusiasts in the Republican Party cover for when Trump does exactly the same thing at the end of his term, in fact.
Which is why we have to give Biden one last Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week award. As we stated, we do sympathize with the impossible position Trump put Biden in, with his talk of second-term "retribution" on his perceived enemies. But it is going to tarnish Biden's legacy nonetheless, and it is now a precedent which others will use for far less understandable reasons.
[Joe Biden is now merely a private citizen, and it is our blanket policy not to provide contact information for such persons, sorry.]
Volume 780 (1/24/25)
As always, we present these offerings to all Democrats to use in order to focus people on the man behind the curtain rather than the explosions and fire and smoke that is center stage right now. It's only Day Five of a very long four years, so we're going to assume we'll have time to get to every bit of Trumpian idiocy eventually, but for now here's what we've got.
Out-of-control eggflation
Lean on this one. It is easy for people to understand, and it's not likely to get better any time soon.
"We were all told that Donald Trump got elected because the price of eggs was too high. But since the week he got elected, the price of a dozen eggs has gone up another fifty percent! It is now at an all-time high of $6.55 per dozen. This is nothing short of out-of-control 'eggflation.' And that's when you can even find them in the grocery stores. So when is Trump going to solve this problem -- the same problem that he supposedly got elected to fix? Well, I'm not exactly holding my breath, because it's pretty obvious that Trump is only interested in standing up for his billionaire buddies -- he does not care what the price of eggs is for you."
Inject the hens with bleach, maybe?
If anyone brings up the fact that egg prices are high because of the growing spread of bird flu, then answer them back thusly:
"OK, so then what is Trump's plan to combat and defeat bird flu? Because as we've seen, when it comes to fighting pandemics, Trump is absolutely clueless and ineffective -- and that's when the disease was killing thousands upon thousands of Americans. And putting R.F.K. Jr. and a bunch of anti-science people in charge of running the federal government's response doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that Trump has any sort of plan to combat bird flu. Unless maybe you count 'inject all the hens with bleach,' of course. Because that was the only answer he had for COVID."
How many? And what did they offer her?
This is from a bombshell story the Washington Post published yesterday (which we wrote about as well).
"So exactly how many Republican House members tried to have sex with Cassidy Hutchinson? We already know it was more than one, from the report which exposed this sordid fact. When did these attempts to get 'sexual favors' from Hutchinson begin? Before she testified to the January 6th Committee about what Trump was doing that day? Or after? And what exactly were all these Republican House members offering Hutchinson in exchange for these sexual favors? Because inquiring minds want to know."
I am woman, hear me roar!
This one's from Helen Reddy.
"Donald Trump signed an executive order which mandated that all babies born in the United States be considered one sex or the other, quote, 'at conception.' Actual biologists are pretty confused by this designation, since 'at conception' everyone is essentially just a single cell - the 'reproductive cells' the order talks about don't develop until far later in the process. And at the earliest stage of this process, everyone is female. So did Donald Trump just classify every person in this country as female? I guess everyone should start learning the words to Helen Reddy's classic song 'I Am Woman,' huh? She even included a verse that seems particularly appropriate right about now:"
I am woman, watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still a little embryo
With such a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Have these people ever actually read any of it?
This one never ceases to amaze.
"At a prayer service Donald Trump attended, the bishop giving the sermon called on Trump to show some 'mercy' to the least-powerful among us. Trump, true to form, later called her a 'Radical Left hard line Trump hater,' and ripped into her for supposedly bringing politics into church. Some Fox News personalities had an absolute meltdown on-air, calling the sermon 'the rantings of a lunatic,' and 'discarded propaganda,' while singling out the bishop as a 'heretic.' These are all self-professed Christians, one assumes. They are all shocked to hear such sentiments -- because it's not like anyone else in history spoke in defense of the helpless, right? I mean... have any of these so-called Christians ever actually read the words of Jesus in the Bible?!? If they ever manage to do so, one assumes they will be equally as shocked! Might I suggest the Sermon on the Mount, to begin with? Just trying to be helpful...."
Ratings way down
Just threw this one in to taunt him, because we all know it means so much to him.
"Did you see that the ratings for Trump's inauguration were way, way down? In fact, over nine million fewer people tuned in to see it than tuned in to watch Joe Biden getting sworn in. The numbers were even far worse than Trump's first inauguration, which drew six million more viewers. And for Trump, you just know that's gotta hurt."
How long? Any bets?
To us, this seems almost inevitable.
"Anyone want to bet on how long it'll take before Elon Musk totally pisses off Trump and gets thrown under the MAGA bus? Vivek Ramaswamy didn't even last a full seven Scaramuccis before he was chucked out. And Musk is even more offensive (which, considering Ramaswamy in general, is pretty hard to do). I have no idea what will be the cause of it, but I'd be willing to bet that Musk won't make it more than a few months, tops. Sooner or later, he's going to eclipse Trump in the media, which to Trump is the one unforgivable sin. So any takers? Let's say 'by June'... anyone want to take that bet?"

I am confused by your designation of Biden as Most Disappointing, etc., when you repeatedly express sympathy for and understanding of his choice to pre-emptively pardon those whom Trump has threatened to prosecute.
Well, which is it? Joe did the right thing? or Joe didn't do the right thing? You seem to want both, and then condemn him for not solving the contradiction.
I was glad he did it - and I didn't think of Biden as Most Disappointing Democrat, etc. What I thought was, not for the first time, that Trump is the Most Disappointing Everything, etc., for creating a political world where a president literally threatens to prosecute his political antagonists, absent any actual crimes, just because he hates them.
Blame Trump, not Biden, for Biden's choice to try to protect some brave Americans from Trump's, and Trump's "Justice" Department's, bilious venom.
I’m with John on this. Besides, hasn’t Biden left office? Why is he even eligible for any Democratic award?
I bet it’s way past June, if it ever happens. Remember, Trump needs Musk’s money.
Biden is usually Chris's MDDOTW, even when he isn't! :-)
I mean, speaking of contradictions, how many times was Biden both the MIDOTW AND the MDDOTW, in the same week! It must be some kind of record. I'm just sayin' ... ;)

So, ya'all are whining and crying because you are afraid that PRESIDENT Trump is going to do the exact same thing to Democrats that Democrats did to PRESIDENT Trump???
Hypocrisy. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.
But the funny thing is, Basement Biden not only DID NOT protect these criminals from being punished for their crimes...
Basement Biden took away the ONE WEAPON that WOULD have protected these criminals from being punished for their crimes..
Basement Biden took away their 5th Amendment Protections..
There is absolutely NOTHING stopping PRESIDENT Trump's DOJ from INVESTIGATING the crimes that the pardonees committed..
These criminals can be subpoenaed, hauled before endless PUBLICLY AIRED committees and questioned under oath..
If they tell the truth, then the entire world will know their crimes...
If they lie?? THEN they will be thrown in jail...
Basement Biden has totally screwed over these criminals...
And now the world will learn of ALL the crimes they have committed!!
And, in the case of Faux Fauchi and White Rage Millie, OTHER countries would SURELY be interesting in prosecuting them for their crimes... Rendition would be an AWESOME punishment for their crimes.. :D
Basement Biden not only totally slagged his legacy, he has also did the world a favor..
Because NOW all their crimes will come out and they CAN'T say "I am asserting my 5th Amendment Rights against self-incrimination"...
Awesome job, Basement Biden!!
Liz,
I mean, speaking of contradictions, how many times was Biden both the MIDOTW AND the MDDOTW, in the same week! It must be some kind of record. I'm just sayin' ... ;)
I am sure you might have read this before somewhere..
Hypocrisy. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.
:D
And what have we here....
Weigantia.... Allow me to introduce to you....
Secretary Of Defense Peter Hegseth...
PRESIDENT Trump wins!!! AGAIN!!!
America wins!!! AGAIN!!!
Democrats lose!!! AGAIN!!!
Life is good.. Iddn't it?? :D
And MORE Hamas hostages are freed thanks to the tireless efforts of PRESIDENT Trump and his team..
I mean, honestly...
With results like these, you would have to hate pretty deeply and pathetically to vote against PRESIDENT Trump...
The Democrat Party is such a sad and pathetic entity...
"Thank you first for being here. It means a great deal to all of us. We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help."

Gavin 'Hair Gel' Newsome groveling to PRESIDENT Trump..
It's funny...
Newsome is groveling and begging to Hitler 2.0....
I guess a Democrat doesn't MIND working with Hitler if it gets him what he wants...
:eyeroll:
As ya'all remember...
CBS edited a Headboard Harris interview to make it look like Headboard Harris actually answered the question properly..
This is election interference..
PRESIDENT Trump is suing CBS for election interference...
Word is out that CBS is caving because they know their dirty and they know that PRESIDENT Trump will win... AGAIN....
Just like ABC caved and paid PRESIDENT Trump hundreds of millions of dollars..
What IS it about you Democrats that ya'all *ALWAYS* lose when going up against President Trump!!!???
:D
As far as all the Democrat lawsuits that are doomed to fail..
Ya'all just HAVE to realize this... That they are going to fail...
President Trump has an airtight case...
This SCOTUS is not afraid of stare decisis....
If something has been WRONG for 1 year or 50 years or 150 years, it's WRONG... END TRANS....
Birthright citizenship is toast... Just like Roe v Wade was toast..
Let's get more in depth on why you people AND Democrats are so WRONG on WONG...
Trump isn’t rewriting the 14th Amendment; he’s applying the law as it is, based on its plain language and the Supreme Court’s existing precedent.
By Matthew Raymer
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION
If you were wondering how long it would take for Democrats to sue the Trump administration, we have an answer. With the ink barely dry, eighteen Democrat state attorneys general, four additional Democrat state AGs, and a collection of outside groups led by the American Civil Liberties Union all filed federal lawsuits over President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. Their argument, that the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship for practically anyone born here, is flatly wrong as a matter of law. The courts should use this opportunity to get it right.
The 14th Amendment — ratified after the Civil War and ensuring that former slaves were U.S. citizens — provides that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The plaintiffs focus on the first part, but barely glance at the second, arguing that, with few exceptions (such as the children of foreign diplomats in the United States), anyone born in the United States is “subject to its jurisdiction,” simply by virtue of being within its borders.
They do this by relying almost entirely on United States v. Wong Kim Ark an 1898 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that the plaintiffs get hopelessly wrong. In Wong, the court held that a man born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants was a U.S. citizen under the 14th Amendment. Omitting some key facts, the plaintiffs argue this means that all children born in the United States of all immigrant parents, with the aforementioned very rare exceptions, automatically are U.S. citizens. Even a cursory read of the opinion, however, shows that the Supreme Court ruled nothing of the sort.
Wong was born in California and lived his entire life in the United States, until he took two trips to China to visit family as an adult. The first time he returned to the United States, he was admitted through customs as a U.S. citizen. A few years later, after visiting China a second time, he was denied reentry after a customs official concluded that he was not a citizen, because his parents were not U.S. citizens when he was born here.
SCOTUS sided with Wong, but for a very important reason the plaintiffs fail to mention: Wong’s parents were legal immigrants to the United States. The entire foundation of the plaintiffs’ argument — that SCOTUS has already upheld birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants by this decision — is therefore completely and obviously wrong.
In rendering its opinion, SCOTUS dove deep into the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” What they found, tracing back hundreds of years through English common law, is that the phrase is rooted in a mutual relationship of “allegiance and protection” between the individual and the sovereign (historically a king, but the nation here). Children “born in the allegiance,” and therefore citizens entitled to “protection” at birth, included children born to subjects of the king, as well as children born to “aliens in amity” — that is, aliens lawfully “domiciled” there with the king’s consent. Notably, the court found that this did not extend to the children of aliens in “hostile occupation of part of our territory.”
Consent is the operative word. In ruling for Wong, the Supreme Court made clear that the United States has a say in who is subject to its jurisdiction, noting that noncitizens like Wong’s parents are “entitled to the protection of, and owe allegiance to, the United States so long as they are permitted by the United States to reside here” (emphasis added). In Wong’s case, this meant that the 14th Amendment granted him citizenship because he was: (1) born in the United States; and (2) subject to its jurisdiction, due to the fact that his parents were lawful immigrants permitted by the United States to reside here at the time he was born.
In clear and distinguishable contrast, children born to illegal immigrants are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States, and therefore are not entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, for the simple reason that the United States has not permitted them to be here. In other words, the relationship is not mutual.
A harder question is whether the 14th Amendment grants birthright citizenship to children born to aliens here lawfully but on a temporary basis, such as tourists or individuals on a work visa. Wong Kim Ark doesn’t explicitly address this, but it does note that Wong’s parents were “domiciled” in the United States, and it concludes that “[e]very citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here, is within the allegiance and the protection, and consequently subject to the jurisdiction, of the United States” (emphasis added). This repeated reference to “domicile,” meaning a state of permanent, legal residence, suggests that birthright citizenship at a minimum requires an intent to live lawfully and permanently in the United States, even if that intent later changes.
In their lawsuit, the 18 Democrat state AGs declare that the president “has no authority to rewrite or nullify a constitutional amendment or duly enacted statute.” (Where were they a week ago, when President Biden tried to ratify a new, 28th Amendment by personal fiat?) But Trump isn’t rewriting the 14th Amendment; he’s applying the law as it is, based on its plain language and the Supreme Court’s existing precedent. That, at least, shouldn’t be controversial.
As ya'all can see... The FACTS and OBJECTIVE REALITY proves that PRESIDENT Trump will prevail in this matter..
As per the norm, ya'all AND Democrats are choosing the losing argument...
Just like ya'all have done since the 2024 Election started...
That was a good conversation there, for a while.
JMCT,
Jesus christ, dood!! Quit yer whining...
If you want to ignore me, then ignore me..
Why don't you try addressing the FACTS that PROVE ya'all wrong???
Of course, you won't do that cuz yer a Democrat..
All Democrats are good for is whining and crying because they are proven WRONG all the time..
@JMCT,
Blame Trump, not Biden, for Biden's choice to try to protect some brave Americans from Trump's, and Trump's "Justice" Department's, bilious venom.
PRESIDENT Trump's DOJ is simply going to do to Democrats what Basement Biden's DOJ did to PRESIDENT Trump...
Funny how you had absolutely ZERO problem with lawfare persecutions when it was Basement Biden and the Democrats doing it..
Why is that??
I'll tell you why.. Because HYPOCRISY is THE defining characteristic of a Democrat...
And PRESIDENT Trump wins again!!! :D
Kristi Noem beats Senate confirmation hurdle, advancing to final vote for DHS role
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is expected to receive bipartisan Senate support for her confirmation as Homeland Security chief
What IS it about Democrats that they are ALWAYS losing?? :D
Democrats are in such disarray and confusion they don't even know which way is up!! :D
Better get used to that, Weigantians.. It's gonna be that way for the next 12 years at least.. :D
Here's a question I would LOVE to see CW tackle..
Since it's completely clear to even the most dullard and moronic Democrat that Basement Biden did not have the mental capability of being President..
This begs the question...
WHO was actually running the country??
The most likely candidate is Odumbo himself...
Others speculate it was Jill Biden, but I think that unlikely.. She's pretty much a moron as well so.....
Other possible candidates for the puppet master is Biden's Chief Of Staff Jeff Zeints and Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Personally, given the size of Odumbo's ego, I honestly doubt that the Puppet Master could be anyone BUT Odumbo..
What you think, CW???
I mean, it's a given that senile dementia-riddled Basement Biden couldn't have been running the country..
So who was running the country??
@liz,
that's a good question. any major decision is bound to have both pros and cons, so maybe it's a bit of a cop out to regularly give someone most impressive and most disappointing in the same week. that said, cw is certainly entitled to take that route if he so desires.
JL
Caddy,
I bet it’s way past June, if it ever happens. Remember, Trump needs Musk’s money.
Any FACTS that prove your claim valid??
Any facts at all??
No???
I didn't think so.. :D
Peace out...
"I want to deport 11 million illegal immigrants and 2 puppies!!"
-PRESIDENT Donald Trump
"2 puppies!? Why!?"
-American people
"See!! No one cares about illegal immigrants!!"
-PRESIDENT Donald Trump
:D
And PRESIDENT Trump wins again!!! :D
Kristi Noem Confirmed to Lead Homeland Security in Rare Weekend Vote
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has cleared a confirmation vote in the Senate, becoming the next Director of Homeland Security and officially joining the new Trump administration.
Can Democrats do ANYTHING to stop PRESIDENT Trump!!!???
Apparently.... NOT!!!!! :D
Over A QUARTER MILLION babies were born to illegal immigrant criminals in 2024...
Research organization says that number will likely be higher if PRESIDENT Trump's Executive Order is not upheld..
The US welfare system simply cannot sustain these high numbers...
And WHO will pay for all these illegal immigrant criminals??
Yep... The US taxpayer...
It's a good thing PRESIDENT Trump's EO is a shoe in to be affirmed by the courts...
Illegal immigrants are some of the hardest working members of our society and beyond some of them committing a single misdemeanor, commit crimes at considerably lower rates than natural citizens. Their employers pay payroll taxes and they never get tax returns. Illegal immigrants use very little welfare.
With tariffs and other dumbfuckery, It will be interesting to see how fast Trump can take the strongest economy in the world in to a recession. I bet he breaks all records...

It doesn’t matter — you can’t distinguish right-wing propaganda from reality and besides, have you EVER allowed ANY inconvenient fact to make the slightest difference whatsoever?
That’s why I’m sooo looking forward to a “block” function. It’s too bad — I’ve been searching for a coherent conservative for decades now. Someone to help me refine my Progressive beliefs.

Simply put, you don’t bring anything to the table. Which makes you a waste of time to engage with.
JL,
...cw is certainly entitled to take that route if he so desires.
Absolutely, positively, unequivocally. But that really goes without saying.
Besides, I'm still trying to get over a grudge when it comes to Chris's consistently ambiguous stance on Biden. Which will take a bit longer yet, to be sure.
SOME illegal immigrant criminals are hard workers..
But, they fail in the character and integrity department..
Is having SOME hard workers with questionable character/integrity worth all the dead and raped and robbed and terrorized American citizens??
Well, let's ask the family and friends of Laken Rielly, shall we??
:eyeroll:
Why are ya'all so AGAINST preventing illegal immigrant criminals from rampaging and killing AMERICANS??
If illegal immigrant criminals voted GOP, ya'all would be HYSTERICALLY in favor a completely secure border..
It's ALL about ya'all's political bigotry...
NOTHING else is in play here...
Well, let's ask the family and friends of Laken Rielly, shall we??
Are you going to show the same concern for Americans killed by Americans in similar ways and at higher numbers or is this just purely political?
Caddy,
It doesn’t matter — you can’t distinguish right-wing propaganda from reality and besides, have you EVER allowed ANY inconvenient fact to make the slightest difference whatsoever?
Assumes facts not in evidence..
Simply put, you don’t bring anything to the table. Which makes you a waste of time to engage with.
Not factually accurate..
I don't bring anything to the table that YOU are interested in..
But, as has been proven beyond ANY doubt, ya'all are NOT interested in a strong and fair America..
Ergo, it's mind over matter..
I don't mind, so you don't matter. :D
That’s why I’m sooo looking forward to a “block” function.
Of course you are.. Yer simply a mindless drone and can't handle FACTS that upset your mindless perspective..
You simply CAN'T handle being exposed to facts and reality that upset your bubble view..
But let's be real, Caddy.. Yer gonna get high one day (as you do every day) and your gonna be DYING to see what I have been posting and your gonna peek and yer gonna respond and then people who don't like what YOU say will block you..
And then Weigantia will be nothing but a Rush Limbaugh-esque echo chamber where NO ONE is seeing ANYTHING that upsets them..
Typical Democrat perspective.. Only seeing what's in yer bubble..
What a sad and pathetic existence that is.. :eyeroll:
Are you going to show the same concern for Americans killed by Americans in similar ways and at higher numbers or is this just purely political?
You mean, all the scumbags that your DEMOCRAT DAs let run free and victimized...
ABSO-FRAKIN-LOUTLY will I show the same concern...
What's hilarious is that you show ZERO concern for those Americans..
As your Pro-Criminal Cop-Hating stance proves beyond any doubt...
If illegal immigrant criminals voted GOP, ya'all would be HYSTERICALLY in favor a completely secure border..
No, I'd be investigating the GOP for voter fraud. Just like if you actually cared about illegal immigrants, you would be pushing to go after employers.
Liz,
Besides, I'm still trying to get over a grudge when it comes to Chris's consistently ambiguous stance on Biden. Which will take a bit longer yet, to be sure.
Since the onset of PTDS and Trump/America hate, CW seems to adopt what ever position will further the PTDS and Trump/America hate..
I miss the old CW and the old Weigantia which was REALITY based...
You mean, all the scumbags that your DEMOCRAT DAs let run free and victimized...
Considerably higher murder rates in southern red states. Mirror time...
Considerably higher murder rates in southern red states.
Which has NOTHING to do with the FACT that DEMOCRAT DAs let murderers and cop killers and rapists go free...
The decision by District Attorneys (DAs) not to prosecute certain crimes, particularly those committed by hardened criminals, can have significant and multifaceted impacts on American communities. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Public Safety Concerns
Increased Crime Rates: When DAs choose not to prosecute certain offenses, it may embolden criminals, leading to an increase in crime rates. If individuals believe they can commit crimes without facing legal consequences, they may be more likely to engage in criminal behavior.
Victimization: Communities may experience higher rates of victimization, particularly in neighborhoods where crime is already a concern. This can lead to a pervasive sense of fear and insecurity among residents.
2. Erosion of Trust in the Justice System
Public Perception: When DAs do not prosecute crimes, it can lead to a perception that the justice system is ineffective or biased. This can erode public trust in law enforcement and the legal system, making individuals less likely to report crimes or cooperate with authorities.
Community Relations: A lack of prosecution can strain relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve, particularly if residents feel that their safety is not being prioritized.
3. Impact on Victims
Lack of Justice: Victims of crime may feel that they are not receiving justice if their cases are not prosecuted. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anger, and helplessness.
Psychological Effects: The psychological impact on victims can be profound, leading to anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of safety in their own communities.
4. Long-Term Consequences
Recidivism: If hardened criminals are not held accountable for their actions, they may continue to commit crimes, leading to a cycle of recidivism. This can place additional strain on communities and law enforcement resources.
Economic Impact: Increased crime can have economic repercussions, including decreased property values, reduced business investment, and higher costs associated with law enforcement and community safety initiatives.
5. Policy and Reform Implications
Calls for Reform: The decision not to prosecute can lead to calls for criminal justice reform, including discussions about the effectiveness of current policies, the need for more resources for law enforcement, and the importance of addressing root causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of access to education.
The decision by DAs not to prosecute hardened criminals can have serious implications for public safety, community trust, and the overall effectiveness of the justice system. It is a complex issue that requires careful consideration of the balance between ensuring accountability for criminal behavior and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to crime.
The assertion that illegal immigrants are primarily hardworking individuals who contribute positively to our society to be fundamentally flawed and misleading not to mention completely ludicrous and without ANY rational merit whatsoever. The reality is that illegal immigration poses significant challenges to our communities, particularly concerning crime rates and public safety.
First and foremost, the claim that illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than natural citizens is not supported by the facts. Numerous studies and reports indicate that illegal immigrants are often involved in serious crimes, including brutal murders and rapes. For instance, a 2018 report from the Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal immigrants were responsible for a disproportionate number of violent crimes, including homicides. In fact, the report highlighted that in states like California, illegal immigrants were involved in a significant percentage of violent crime cases.
Moreover, the notion that illegal immigrants are merely "hardworking" individuals overlooks the harsh realities faced by many American families. According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, violent crime rates in areas with high illegal immigrant populations can be alarmingly high. For example, cities like Los Angeles and Chicago have seen spikes in gang-related violence, much of which is linked to illegal immigrant gangs. This is not just a matter of statistics; it is about the safety and security of our communities.
Additionally, the argument that illegal immigrants do not utilize welfare programs is misleading. While it is true that many illegal immigrants may not qualify for federal welfare benefits, they often rely on state and local resources, which can strain public services. This includes emergency healthcare, education, and housing assistance, all of which are funded by hardworking American taxpayers.
As for the economy, President Trump has consistently championed policies that prioritize American workers and businesses. His administration's focus on deregulation and tax cuts has led to unprecedented economic growth, with unemployment rates reaching record lows before the pandemic. The assertion that tariffs and other policies will lead to a recession ignores the positive impact of these measures on American manufacturing and job creation.
The narrative that illegal immigrants are primarily beneficial to our society is not only misleading but dangerous and utterly contemptible. We must prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens and recognize the real consequences of illegal immigration. President Trump’s commitment to securing our borders and enforcing our laws is essential for maintaining the strength and integrity of our great nation.
Anyone who thinks otherwise simply hates America...
And in the IDDN'T THIS INTERESTING department.....
One of the liars who accused SecDef Pete Hegseth of domestic abuse now states, for the record, that she was "promised" that her statement would "make a difference in key votes"..
So, this begs the question...
WHO "promised" this liar that her statement would "make a difference in key votes" to confirm Pete Hegseth as SecDef??
This reeks of the bimbo Blasey Ford who lied about SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh...
Which simply PROVES that Democrats are complete and utter scumbags who do NOT have the best interests of this country at heart..
What IS about your Democrats people that they are so dishonest and disgusting???
Hmmmm???
I mean, I can understand how the Weigantian trolls can support Democrats.. I can even understand how CW can, in the throes of PTDS and Trump/America hate can support these scumbag Democrats...
What just boggles my mind is that independent thinkers like Liz can support Democrats...
It's simply unconscionable...
So, I just finished watching the new "Trek" Movie SECTION 31...
Meh...
Until the very end, it's easy to forget that it's even Trek. At the end, the Trek music shined thru and reminded everyone... HAY!!! THIS IS STAR TREK!!!
It has it's woke aspects which was the downfall of STD....
I doubt we will see any continuation of SECTION 31.. Which is a shame because it has so much potential..
A nice cameo by Jamie Lee Curtis as Borg was likely it's only redeeming quality..
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being totally awsome, it's a 3... Maybe a 3.5 at the end there..

This is indeed a smile cracker! Two thumbs up, Mister lucked out and got to marry “divrlady” — woot!
What’s even funnier is that you’ve just said the quiet part out loud:
Trump throws a bunch of shit at the wall so the SEEMINGLY least bad decisions (either nominees or legislation or whatever) will pass through an exhausted Congress. You did a great job of creating a better talking point than the above selection (respectfully, CW, but you gotta admit that it’s short and to the point, eh?)
Which has NOTHING to do with the FACT that DEMOCRAT DAs let murderers and cop killers and rapists go free...
Aside from the fact you are just trying to distract that your single anecdotal example does not statistically represent the entire community of illegal immigrants, if what you say is true (and not grossly exaggerated as is highly likely), then why is the murder rate still lower in the blue states? You are not making the point you are trying too...
Donald Trump Faces Backlash Over Alleged Purge of Inspectors General
Oh, the corruption is going to be unprecedented. The US government for sale to the highest depositor in Trump's bank account...
Haha. The chief inspector general's reply to Trump's "you're fired": no I'm not.
Caddy,

Uh... It was JL that made that point a couple commentaries ago..
You high again??? :eyeroll:
So PRESIDENT Trump got read of a bunch of Democrat deep state deadwood scumbags..
Big deal..
Only Democrats are hysterically whining about it..
:eyeroll:
So, let's review..
HOW many PRESIDENT Trump team members have been confirmed???
How many have Dumbocrats been able to stop??
BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Democrats are simply useless.. :D
"I voted Democrat, and I’ve got to tell you something right now: I don’t like the fact that I did. I don’t like what I’m seeing. I don’t want to hear about, ‘Oh we’re about the law. Nobody’s above the law’...but then you go out and you pardon your son, you try to blame everybody else for it.
I don’t want to hear about ‘defund the police.’ I don’t want to hear about, you know what this should be, open borders. I don’t want don’t want to hear this stuff.
What concerned me about Donald Trump, and the reason I voted against him and voted for Kamala Harris, was because I felt that he would be divisive, that he would create chaos, because he demands such a level of loyalty and fealty to him, and that would take priority over governing our nation.
Having said that…if he follows through on some of the things that he has said, it’s not just about eradicating inflation, improving the economy, obviously controlling our borders, these are all things that I care about.
But it can’t be just about fealty to him and loyalty to him. It has to be about getting the job done on behalf of what’s in the best interest of the American people, as opposed to yourself, and not engaging in the kind of juvenile tendencies, tweeting all the time, and going after people who are pretty much irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.”

It didn't take too long for people to fess up how they are sorry for voting for Token DEI Hire Headboard Has Been Hooker Harris...

PRESIDENT Trump wasn't even in OFFICE yet and he accomplished something that Basement Biden (Who??) and Headboard Harris (Who??) couldn't do in over a year!!!
How pathetically SAD and INCOMPETENT was the Biden/Harris junta??
I don't hear any of ya'all countering the FACTS... The OBJECTIVE REALITY...
So, that must mean you agree.. :D
I accept ya'all's concession.. :D

The Newsom-Trump dynamic sets up a test case for Democrats charting their future
That’s the state of relations as California and the federal government face one of the most expensive natural disasters ever, and perhaps one of the most complex in American history.
No one was talking between the Democratic governor’s team and the newly inaugurated president’s, two people on Newsom’s team told CNN. Transition officials never responded to Newsom’s letter inviting the then-president-elect to visit two weeks ago, they confirmed, and the White House didn’t invite him to meet Air Force One when it landed.
But Newsom showed up anyway, and positioned at the bottom of the steps, he embraced the president in the middle of a long handshake, then kissed first lady Melania Trump on the cheek.
Donald Trump was clearly pleased: speaking to reporters on the tarmac, he said he “appreciated the governor coming out and meeting me.” Newsom was dutifully deferential when Trump then invited him to speak: “We’re going to need your support, we’re going to need your help. You were there for us during Covid. I have all the expectations that we’re going to be able to work together for a speedy recovery.”
Democrats are going to need to understand that PRESIDENT Trump is in charge now...
If ya'all Democrats want the carrot then ya'all are gonna have to work for it..
Because PRESIDENT Trump has PLENTY of sticks to beat ya'all back into line...
Here's a factiod that says it ALL about the Basement Biden (Who??) and Headboard Harris (Who??) junta....
In Two Days, Trump Answered More Reporter Questions Than Biden Did In Four Years – And Without A Cheat Sheet
By I & I Editorial Board
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION
Biden held the fewest number of press conferences of any modern president. He would answer questions only from pre-selected reporters. He had to have a cheat sheet with him at all times to give his answers, and even then the White House would often have to rush out to correct the record.
Biden’s first press conference wasn’t until March 2021 – and it was a disaster. As the BBC reported it:
On Trump’s first day in the White House he answered reporters’ questions for 45 minutes while signing hundreds of executive orders. On Tuesday, he held an impromptu press conference after announcing a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence, taking questions for half an hour.
And these weren’t softball questions from carefully selected friendly reporters. (Click on the image below to see for yourself.) Then Trump sat down for an extensive interview with Sean Hannity.
This isn’t a criticism of Biden (who cares about him anymore?) so much as it is of the mainstream press and its disgraceful eagerness to act like sheep around Democratic politicians and like rabid bulldogs toward Republicans.
Why would White House reporters put up with the limited access Biden granted them for four years? Why would they stand for the fact that whenever he’d make an announcement, he’d turn tail and run without taking questions? Why did reporters let White House harpies boss them around and block access to Biden at public events?
And, now, will anyone in the mainstream press acknowledge the difference in access between Biden and Trump? Or point out the significance of this shift to the public? Or credit Trump for being willing to mix it up with a hostile press?
The answers to all these questions are obvious, aren’t they? (Fox News’ Peter Doocy is the one exception.)
For the next four years, the corporate media will hound Trump the way they never did Biden. They will attack his every move, play up any dissent on his team, peddle unsubstantiated rumors as facts.
We want to believe that the media can be redeemed. And by that, we don’t mean bend the knee to Trump. But treat all politicians with equal suspicion. Report the facts honestly and fairly, no matter which party benefits. Do the job they are paid to do.
That’s how you restore trust in an institution that has lost all credibility with the public.
Hypocrisy. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature
The press is going thru a metamorphosis.. We see it at the LA Times and we see it at WaPoop and we see it at CNN...
Those media sources are seeing the light and are moving into becoming a fair and balanced news source that meets the needs of the PEOPLE... Not the hysterical bigoted Democrats...
It's morning in America.. :D
And NOW PRESIDENT Trump is going to bend California to his will!!! :D
Trump Says California Must Change Policies or Risk Fire Aid
President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal aid for California as it grapples with massive ongoing wildfires, and he said he would condition any funds on California changing its water management policies and approving voter identification laws.
At an event in Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles neighborhood hard hit by the historic blazes, Trump on Friday reiterated unfounded claims that the state’s water policies, including measures to protect an endangered fish species, have limited the flow of water to southern California and hampered efforts to fight the fires.
“We’re also surging federal resources and assistance to the state, and California must adopt the common sense policies to prevent fires, and we all know that,” the president said.
Trump also criticized Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, sitting next to him, on the pace of recovery, which has been hampered by ongoing blazes and burnt-out electric and hybrid vehicles requiring specialized removal.
“We’re going to waive, just about essentially waive, all federal permits” to hasten rebuilding, Trump said. He also tasked his close ally Ric Grenell to help with the recovery efforts.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-california-must-change-policies-or-risk-fire-aid/ar-AA1xNUZp
Makes sense... PRESIDENT Trump doesn't want to throw good money after bad...
If California wants taxpayer money, California is going to have to change the way they do things..
No sense in throwing a bunch of cash at THIS recovery and then, due to California's utter incompetence and mismanagement, ANOTHER catastrophe happens in a year or two...
Get some common sense on water management.. Tell the environmental whack jobs to frak off.. Tell 'em that yer gonna help PEOPLE and not micro-fish that are useless..
Maintain proper clearing of old-growth, again telling the moron environmentalists to shut the frak up and keep their place...
So far, PRESIDENT Trump is doing a FANTASTIC job and, up and down the line, Democrats are falling all over themselves to jump on the PRESIDENT Trump train... :D
Life is good, eh?? :D
Do ya'all know why PRESIDENT Trump is such a great and effective leader?? He let's the people make his case for him...

This one's for you...
Here is a VERY interesting statement from Democrat and Hillary's Chief Campaign strategist Mark Penn
The last straw
Last minute pardons for Biden’s political accomplices were the plan all along. The pardons for drug dealers and commutations for murderers were just cover for the main act of these pardons and his son — all done after elections have passed.
The only administration to try to jail political opponents was not Trump’s but Biden’s, and it was the voters who rejected it with their votes.
There were legitimate questions on whether Fauci lied about his funding of gain of function research, whether Miley broke the chain of command and had unauthorized communications with the Chinese and whether the Jan 6th committee coached witnesses. They may have all been right and truthful but there were questions, and they will all go unresolved now.
But Biden was elected lying to the public about his son’s business (which was eventually uncovered), sought to win reelection hiding his infirmities, (which was also eventually uncovered), and genuinely abused his office in the closing days of his presidency as his low ratings sink even lower.
-Mark Penn
I think Penn is wrong on whether the crimes of Fauci and the J6 committee will go unresolved. All but 2 have accepted their pardons. Which means they have lost their Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination and they CAN be compelled to testify.
If they tell the truth about all their crimes, the world will know what scumbags liars these traitors are...
If they repeat prior lies under oath they can be prosecuted for perjury and tossed in jail..
Basement Biden (who??) really scrooed over his cohorts... :D

BB on [45]
Thanks for that link. I was just wondering when something real was going to follow from the media's endless comments on the 'firing' of the Inspectors General, that Congress required by law 30-days notice and documented cause for any such firing by the Executive branch.
I had hoped that Congress would file for an injunction, and maybe that will happen too. But this letter suggests that the IG's are going to just ignore the president's announcement, as it seems they should. In no case should the president be allowed to break a federal law, no matter what the Supreme Court thinks, without a full legal review by the courts.
@JMCT
In no case should the president be allowed to break a federal law, no matter what the Supreme Court thinks, without a full legal review by the courts.
Newsflash for you sunshine..
The Supreme Court *IS* the law...
What part of SUPREME is unclear to you?? :eyeroll:
It's funny.. You didn't have a SINGLE problem when it was your Basement Biden who ignored federal law time and time again...
Which proves you are simply a hypocrite...
This is the OBJECTIVE REALITY....
There is some speculation that Basement Biden (who??) had one more pardon that he did not announce.
He pardoned himself..
I submit that this is not necessary...
Basement Biden (who??) has already been declared mentally incompetent by his own DOJ...
Therefore, no Pardon is necessary...
Apparently, ya'all agree with this assessment as there has been no attempt to refute the claim...
I accept ya'all's concession.. :D

In the wilderness: Democrats struggle to navigate the politics of new Trump era
Once united in opposition to Trump during his first term, Democrats now flounder with his return to the White House
In the end, Donald Trump has Democrats to thank for delivering the first legislative victory of his second term.
Hours after he was sworn into office, a dozen Senate Democrats joined all Republicans in approving a bill that would require the detention and deportation of migrants accused of theft-related crimes. Moments later, the chamber unanimously confirmed their colleague, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, to be Trump’s secretary of state.
The votes marked a sharp reversal from the early days of Trump’s first term, when his narrow electoral college win sparked a nationwide resistance movement and a succession of Democratic victories. But unlike eight years ago, Trump won the popular vote as well while making significant inroads with the voters that are core to the Democratic coalition: people of color and young people.

Bear with me...
No president in modern history has come to the Oval Office better prepared and more determined to get big things done fast.
No sooner had he taken the oath than executive orders, pardons, appointments, speeches, public meetings and press conferences began piling up.
The flurry included an historic gathering on artificial intelligence where private firms promised investments of $500 billion!
You see!!???
There *ARE* some Democrats who actually get it!!
It's ALL about saving America and Americans...
It's a shame that you woke progressives can't understand the OBJECTIVELY REALITY that is at work here.. :eyeroll:
Let's here what a worthwhile Democrat (yes, there are a few) has to say... :D
Trump is already hitting the ground running as his first 100 days in office are off to a historic start
WOW....
The NNL filter seems to have a problem with the word 'headline'....
Go figger..
Anyways, here is the full comment...
Let's here what a worthwhile Democrat (yes, there are a few) has to say... :D
Trump is already hitting the ground running as his first 100 days in office are off to a historic start
Media reports last week focused on what Donald Trump could get done in his first 100 days.
A better focus would have been on his first 100 hours.
There’s hitting the ground running, and then there’s Trump 2.0.
No president in modern history has come to the Oval Office better prepared and more determined to get big things done fast.
No sooner had he taken the oath than executive orders, pardons, appointments, speeches, public meetings and press conferences began piling up.
The flurry included an historic gathering on artificial intelligence where private firms promised investments of $500 billion!
All along, he was more available to the press in one week than Joe Biden was in a year.
Much of the early activity centered on Trump’s No. 1 priority: closing the border and rounding up and deporting criminal migrants.
He also delivered a video speech to the Davos Economic Forum, where he offered business elites a deal: produce your goods in America, or get hit with big tariffs.
The dramatic contrast between the two presidents featured a large executive order Trump signed on his first day.
It revoked about 80 Biden orders and covered everything from the border to DEI to green mandates.
The scope alone demonstrates Trump’s determination to change the nation’s direction right out of the gate.
The tone was also striking, starting with “The previous administration has embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal Government.” He promised to “restore common sense to the Federal Government and unleash the potential of the American citizen.”

Yet the best measure of Trump’s fast start were the hesitant, unfocused responses of his main antagonists — Democrats and their media handmaidens.
Much of the press was consumed by its own drama, with “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell, a scolding never Trumper, losing her perch.
Ratings were rock bottom, and CBS will replace her with two co-anchors and a team of correspondents.
CNN, which has a fatal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, is also cutting staff and moving anchors, with Jim Acosta demoted to the graveyard shift.
His threat to leave the company was odd.
What Acosta lacks in talent he makes up for with angry insults, so he might not find another home.
Meanwhile, internal turmoil keeps rocking The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, with owners of both striving to make their news pages fair, or at least less rabidly anti-Trump.
Both spiked editorials endorsing Kamala Harris, sending staffs into fits of rage and leading a handful of writers to quit.
At The Washington Post, an earlier meeting Jeff Bezos had with Trump and his attendance at the inauguration fed the fires of hostility and raised the question of whom the staff hates more — Bezos or Trump.
LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong says it’s a “struggle” to get his staff to accept his decision to broaden the paper’s appeal beyond leftist Democrats.
“I really wanted to make sure we are a trusted source for all Americans,” he told Fox News
Imagine objecting to fairness and calling yourself a journalist.
The New York Times shows no sign of softening its hostility to Trump, with the front page a daily drumbeat of attacks and opinion masking as news.
“In His Return, Trump Embraces Pomp of Royalty,” read the most prominent headline Thursday, while another declared “Trump Hurries To Test Limits of His Powers.”
A third focused on whether he would punish mayors and governors who hide criminal aliens.
All these outlets carried water for Biden by defending claims the president was in good health until it became too obvious he wasn’t.
They also pooh-poohed the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes and looked the other way as House Republicans showed that $20 million flowed from foreign entities into Biden family bank accounts.
They then defended Biden’s pardons of his family as a shield against Trump “retaliation” while denouncing Trump’s pardons as obscene.
It's truly amazing to me how ya'all can STILL be loyal to the America haters who have caused so much pain and suffering to America and Americans...
How do ya'all sleep at night??
ICE arrested 10 Tren de Aragua gang members, more than 400 criminals in one day
Homeland Security arrested 25 gang members Friday, including 10 members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, as well as more than 400 other illegal immigrants with criminal records.
Among those criminals were Cesar Augusto Polanco, 59, a Dominican Republic citizen and convicted murderer, and Jose Tito Reyes, 54, a Salvadoran with a sex crimes record, according to data from an administration official.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also deported 468 migrants as it ramped up efforts to carry out President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Now why couldn't Democrats do that??
Why couldn't Democrats care more for Americans and LESS about their hysterical America hate agenda!??
WHY!!???
Give me ONE GOOD REASON why Democrats could not have taken these actions 4 years ago??
Well????

Trump Says He Wants to ‘Clean Out’ Gaza, Send Refugees to Egypt and Jordan
The president said the move could be temporary or long-term
TEL AVIV—President Trump said he wants to “clean out” the Gaza Strip and urged Jordan and Egypt to take in refugees either temporarily or for the long term, a move that has been rejected by Arab countries since the war began.
The president said he told King Abdullah II of Jordan in a phone call on Saturday that he wants the monarch’s country to receive Palestinians. He said he expected to make a similar request of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi in a coming phone call.
“You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” the president told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday. “You know over the centuries it is had many, many conflicts. And I don’t know, something has to happen.”
The comments and other recent moves by his administration reflect a sharp change in policy toward the conflict in Gaza compared with under former President Joe Biden.

Once again... President Trump is succeeding where FOUR YEARS of Democrat governance has failed..
"Failed... Failed... IMPRESSIVELY Failed..."
-NASA Doctor, ARMAGEDDON
What IS it about Democrats that they are such epic failures..
NONE of these facts are in dispute by anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together...
I see the demented moron in chief is going full dumbass on foreign policy. Doubling down on taking territory from a NATO country (greenland). Wants to clear Gaza and move all the Palestinians to Egypt and Jordon (see black September as an example of why that is not going to happen). Still has eyes on Panama, Wants a regime change in the UK? WTF... Luckily Labor doesn't have to call an election until the bozo in chief is out of office. Unconstitutionally breaking treaties and fucking over allies while the dancing dipshit is courting the German far right. American exceptionalism he is not.
"Stop hating.."
-Patriotic Americans
And yet your posts are filled with hate. Does that make you woke or unpatriotic?

It's important to approach discussions about foreign policy with a clear understanding of the facts and the implications of our actions on the global stage. The statement you've made reflects a misunderstanding of the complexities involved in international relations and the strategic decisions made by the current administration.
First, let's address the claim about Greenland. The idea of purchasing Greenland was not a "demented" move but rather a strategic consideration rooted in national security and economic interests. Greenland is rich in resources and has significant geopolitical importance, especially in the context of Arctic exploration and military positioning. The previous administration's interest in Greenland was about securing American interests in a rapidly changing global landscape, not an act of aggression against a NATO ally.
The situation in Gaza is undeniably complex, but one must consider the safety and security of Israel as a paramount concern. The ongoing conflict poses a significant threat to Israeli lives, and the reality is that the current conditions in Gaza have led to a cycle of violence that endangers both Israelis and Palestinians. A strategic approach to resolving this conflict could involve relocating Palestinians from Gaza to ensure their safety and the security of Israel.
This move would not only protect Israeli citizens from the constant threat of rocket attacks and violence but could also provide Palestinians with the opportunity to build a more stable and prosperous future in a different environment. Historical precedents show that population relocations, while challenging, can lead to long-term peace and stability when managed correctly.
By facilitating a safe and organized transition for Palestinians, we can create a framework for lasting peace in the region. This approach would allow Israel to defend itself more effectively while also giving Palestinians a chance to thrive away from the conflict. Ultimately, prioritizing the safety of all individuals involved is essential for a secure and peaceful future in the region.
As for Panama, the U.S. has a long history of involvement in Central America, often driven by the need to combat drug trafficking and promote stability in the region. The notion of "regime change" is a mischaracterization of efforts to support democratic governance and counter authoritarian influences in the area. In other words, it's a moronic and bullshit claim without ANY facts or objective reality to back it up..
The claim about breaking treaties and courting the German far right is also out and out bullshit. The administration has prioritized American interests while navigating complex alliances. The focus has been on ensuring that NATO allies contribute their fair share to defense spending, which is a legitimate concern that has been raised by multiple administrations. This is not about undermining alliances but rather about reinforcing them through shared responsibility.
Lastly, American exceptionalism is not defined by the actions of one individual but by the principles of freedom, democracy, and the rule of law that the United States has championed for decades. The current administration's foreign policy reflects a commitment to these values, even in the face of criticism.
As anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together will tell you, it's crucial to engage in informed discussions about foreign policy, recognizing the nuances and complexities involved. Simplistic and moronic narratives do not do justice to the challenges we face on the global stage.
And yet your posts are filled with hate.
In response to the hate-filled commentaries and comments that pollute Weigantia...
I have proven beyond ANY doubt that, when comments are sincere, respectful and free from hate..
I respond in the exact same vein...
If commentaries and comments are full of nothing but hate, bigotry and bile...
Well, I can do that too...
So, as I pointed out.. If you Democrats stopped the hate, then the hate would stop...
I realize that a Democrat who doesn't hate is a contradiction in terms...
Hate and bigotry are just a couple more of the defining characteristics of being a Democrat. As you yourself prove every comment..
If you woke progressive Democrats here in Weigantia would stop the hate and stop trying to drag my family into your flame wars....
Then Weigantia would be completely free of hate, barring the commentaries themselves..
Anyone with two brain cells does not have to turn to AI because they can't think for themselves...
In response to the hate-filled commentaries and comments that pollute Weigantia...
OK, so you admit it. Does that make you woke or unpatriotic?
The liar in chief lies and lies again...
You would have to really hate America to support this demented old liar...
OK, so you admit it.
Yes.. I admit that you and your fellow trolls fill up Weigantia with all your hate and bile and bigotry..
If ya'all would stop the hate and dragging my family into this, then there would be no more hate in Weigantia..
But ya'all CAN'T stop the hate...
Hate and bigotry are a big part of what makes a Democrat a Demon-crat..
The liar in chief lies and lies again...
BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Another hate filled Democrat water carrier..
When are you going to have some REAL facts???
You think my comments are AI???
Why!! Thank you, Bashit... That's a really big compliment you just paid me... :D
Dude, you haven't been able to write a paragraph in a decade. It's obvious...
And, as usual, Bashit lies...
But listen to him..
NOW he tries to claim all my comments have been short..
BEFORE he was whining and crying that my comments were too long..
BBBBWWAHAHAHAHASHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bashit, I have you so twisted in knots, you don't know anything anymore.. :D
I PWN you, Bashit.. :D
Yup, perfect example.
NOW he tries to claim all my comments have been short..
I said no such thing. Why do you have to cover your unethical behavior with lies...
You "PWN" yourself...
One of the benefits of PRESIDENT Trump's AWESOME Mandate-Setting win was that we would be able to find out about ALL the frak ups committed by Basement Biden (who??) and Headboard Harris (who??)...
Much like the American people found out all the nefarious crimes and immoral acts that Democrats and Twitter were committing and trying to commit...
Once patriotic Americans took over at the various agencies, there would be a HUGE paper trail that outlined all the Democrat crimes and unethical behavior..
And here we are!! :D
CIA shifts assessment on Covid origins, saying lab leak likely caused outbreak
The Central Intelligence Agency on Saturday said it has shifted its previous assessments and has concluded that it’s likely the Covid-19 virus was leaked from a Chinese lab before it became a global pandemic but added that the agency had “low confidence” in its judgment.
“CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting,” a CIA spokesperson said in a statement. “CIA continues to assess that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the COVID-19 pandemic remain plausible.”
The spokesperson added that the agency has “low confidence in this judgement” and will continue to evaluate any new intelligence reporting or relevant information.
I am sure we're going to find out a LOT of BS that Democrats pulled under the banana republic junta that was Basement Biden (who??) and Headboard Harris (who??)...
It's a great time to be a patriotic American, iddn't it!? :D
That last quoted paragraph says it all: low confidence in this judgement...
And the junta is the one trying to get rid of independent oversight..
Not factually accurate..
PRESIDENT Trump is simply getting rid of all the Democrat America haters who work for the deep state and do everything in their power to hurt America...
PRESIDENT Trump was compassionate..
I would have taken them out and have them tried for treason...
As far as the low confidence part.. That's just PRESIDENT Trump's team being HONEST and STRAIGHT with the American people..
Considering that Basement Biden's (who??) CIA had a HIGH CONFIDENCE theory that turned out to be completely and utterly WRONG on every point, I think it's refreshing to have the CIA be HONEST with Americans..
One has to wonder how many Americans Basement Biden (who??) and Headboard Harris (who??) killed because their CIA was HIGHLY CONFIDENT yet was so completely and so totally wrong...
Once again, PRESIDENT Trump saves the day!!!!
Bashit, you lost.. In every way imaginable you and your fellow America hating Democrats lost.. :D
Liberal Asheville's hippies warm to Trump after cold shoulder from Biden
Famously liberal city's hatred for Trump seems muted in the wake of Hurricane Helene
by David Marcus
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – To call this city of 95,000 a progressive bastion in a purple state is a significant understatement. This is the kind of place that would elect Che Guevera mayor if not for the fact that he was a cisgender male.
So how does a town full of raging lefties react when newly minted President Donald Trump not only shows up in the region devastated by Hurricane Helene, but brings with him millions in federal aid? Well, it's complicated.
Josh was a good example. At 41, he works at a brewery that has three locations. The one atop the hill in Asheville survived, the one near the river took two feet of water and is salvageable, and the one closest to the river took 20 feet of water, and its future is uncertain.
‘A BIG RELIEF’: NC RESIDENTS DESCRIBE MEETING WITH TRUMP AFTER FEELING ‘IGNORED’ POST-HURRICANE
Josh is no fan of Trump, but he also realizes just how much help this area needs, and did offer a somewhat begrudging appreciation of the bad orange man’s visit.
"We weren’t going to protest him," he told me. "In times like these, you have to look past politics."
Asheville
The people of Asheville are struggling to return to normal life, and helping each other get by. (Fox News Digital)
That might strike Trump supporters as ingratitude, but believe me when I say this represents a shift. It's not that Josh doesn’t still believe Trump is a fascist, or an existential threat to the Republic, but the sheer magnitude of the need in western North Carolina takes precedent.
It was a similar story with Corey, a self-described anarchist who moved from Maine to North Carolina just weeks before the storm. Now his truck is totaled. But as a welder, after a month of volunteer work, the rebuilding is keeping him busy and employed.
"He makes me miss George W. Bush, and I f--ckin' hated George W. Bush," Corey told me when the subject of Trump came up.
When I pressed Corey on why he has such disdain for Trump I heard a familiar answer. "He’s arrogant, he’s a bully, I just don’t like him." Yet, he went on to say, "We need the help."
This was the general attitude around town. The harshest criticism I heard of Trump and his visit was that it might be divisive, or politicize a situation where people had put politics aside. But even that critique seemed halfhearted.
Make no mistake, the hippies in Asheville won’t be trading in their ethically sourced Grateful Dead T-shirts for MAGA hats anytime soon. But they also aren’t setting their purple hair on fire over Trump, and that is new and welcome.
"I never thought it could be this way," Josh told me. "I have family that just doesn’t even talk anymore because of politics. It never used to be like that."
I asked if he thought that could be changing. After all, I pointed out, Trump can’t run again, to which he quipped, "for now." But he took my point, and even acknowledged that the Democrats are backing off some of their more excessive positions and moving to the center.
It is too soon to say that the temperature of the country is cooling down when it comes to politics. For almost a decade, hating Donald Trump has literally been a defining personality trait for many people. That won’t change on a dime, but in time, it could.
Trump was certainly not heralded as a hero here in Asheville, as he was just 25 minutes away in rural and red Swannanoa on Friday, but neither was there much evidence of him being held as a villain.
Trump supporters have been rightly overjoyed and enthralled by the president’s hyperactive first week, with its deluge of executive orders and almost overwhelming transparency from the talker-in-chief after four years of sleepy and silent Joe Biden.
But maybe the bigger story, quiet though it is, is that this time around, Trump will not face the headwinds of The Resistance, as he did in the past. Instead, many Trump haters, though Trump haters still, seem willing to give him a chance.
Is this a turn of a corner for our country? Can we go back to a time when we judged people based on their words and actions, not who they voted for? I hope so. Because that would be an America that is, frankly, unstoppable.
All the liberals are flocking to PRESIDENT Trump...
Woke Progressives are going to be left out in the cold!! :D
I would have taken them out and have them tried for treason...
On what specific charge per inspector? Sounds like you are anti law and order which makes you an unpatriotic America hater. Wouldn't be easier to take yourself out and charge yourself with treason?
And the "deep state" garbage...you really are in a cult.
The biggest victory the deep state can point to is convincing moronic retarded <2 Brain Celled Democrats that they don't exist.
Bashit is living proof of that.. :D
More reprinted without permission opinion piece from FoxNews...You really have lost the ability to think for yourself...
Says the retarded moron who always only quotes WaPoop and other Demon-rat water carriers...
:eyeroll:
well, i bought 18 eggs today and they cost 9.99
Remind me again how much FoxNews settled for in that slander suit?
Jesus, JL...
Give the guy a chance!!!
Getting Hamas hostages home safe is a bit bigger of a priority than the cost of your eggs!! :eyeroll:
Getting Hamas hostages home safe is a bit bigger of a priority than the cost of your eggs!! :eyeroll:
And has anyone here ever gave PRESIDENT Trump the credit he is due for that??
Of course not...
"Reality Based" my ass....
@m
when you give president Biden credit for the hostages who came home last week, as well as those who came home last year, then maybe I'll consider the value of Donald's contribution. I've never had a problem with his middle east policy though, that's a place where Donald's kind of politics fits right in.
in the meanwhile, are they injecting the chickens with bleach and sunshine, or what?
Anyone want to bet on how long it'll take before Elon Musk totally pisses off Trump and gets thrown under the MAGA bus?
Seems like two separate bets to me:
1. totally pisses off Trump
2. gets thrown under the MAGA bus
I would wager he's already totally pissed off Trump on multiple occasions, but as for getting thrown under the MAGA bus, I see someone has made the unfortunate miscalculation regarding Trump's ever-present coveting of, inherent love and unquenchable lust for money to the exclusion of generally everything else except fame/power.
So then, you might want to "factor in" that love/lust along with the following current facts:
* Musk has more than 400 times the money of Ramaswamy
* Ramaswamy makes Bannon look like a small investor
* Which two of the three have been thrown under the bus by Trump (and neither of them for the first time)?
So any takers? Let's say 'by June'... anyone want to take that bet?"
June? 2025? Seriously?
Musk and Putin are the living poster boys of the things which Trump longs to embody, and so I query:
Do you see any evidence of tire marks on Vladimir?
Trump throws people under the bus when he (thinks he) ceases to need them or they expose the criminal con that he is... or both. See, for instance, Michael Cohen.

I am confused by your designation of Biden as Most Disappointing, etc., when you repeatedly express sympathy for and understanding of his choice to pre-emptively pardon those whom Trump has threatened to prosecute.
Notwithstanding all that you say in your post, it did not go unnoticed by me that CW posted last week when he also awarded Biden the "award" that it was "one last Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week."
Somebody most definitely forgot that... and so soon too. :)

I bet it’s way past June, if it ever happens.
This. :)
JL,
when you give president Biden credit for the hostages who came home last week,
Basement Biden (who??) deserves absolutely ZERO credit for the Hamas hostages being released..
That deal was sitting there for almost a YEAR and Biden did NOTHING with it...
PRESIDENT Trump picked it up and a week later it was happening..
THIS is the fact that the Israelis acknowledge and this is the fact that even some progressive pundits have acknowledged...
But do Weigantians acknowledge this fact??
Of course not.. Ya'all are too entombed with yer PTDS and Trump/America hate to acknowledge the FACTS... The OBJECTIVE REALITY....
As I said... "Reality Based" my ass...
Colombian leader quickly caves to Trump, offers presidential plane for deportation flights
Gustavo Petro initially refused to accept deportation flights
Colombian President Gustavo Petro offered his presidential plane to repatriate migrants coming back from the U.S. on Sunday in response to stern warnings made by President Donald Trump.
The move came after Trump hit the South American country with retaliatory measures in response to Petro's refusal to accept deportation flights. A former member of the M-19, which was a Marxist guerilla terrorist group that killed hundreds, Petro caved-in to Trump's demands with remarkable speed.
In a statement translated from Spanish, the Colombian government said that the plane will help facilitate a "dignified return."
Once again, PRESIDENT Trump kicks ass!!! :D
PRESIDENT Trump says, "JUMP!!" and world leaders ask "How high!??" on the way up!!!
The world is going to be a MUCH better place with PRESIDENT Trump in charge!
:D

Yes, I noticed this weekend when I bought 18 eggs it was about $10. Brought life to the reports I've been reading about the real effects of Avian Flu on the poultry and egg market.
On the other hand, at least the egg shelves were fully stocked this week. I remember last week when there were noticeably few containers on display.
Yet, here in Oregon, I just paid $5.87 for 18 eggs. It's interesting how bird flu related increase in prices is regional do to the logistics of the egg industry.

How nice to have a normal discussion in the CW comments thread.

From, you guessed it, 2/3 down on the article you failed to link to (FoxNews):
On Sunday afternoon, Petro issued a similar threat to Trump, claiming that he ordered his foreign trade minister "to raise tariffs on imports from the U.S. by 25%."
"The ministry should help direct our exports to the whole world other than the US," the translated post read. "Our exports should be expanded."
Later, Petro published a lengthy rant where he raised the tariffs to 50%.
Kicks the American working class's ass more like it. Raised medicine prices, eggs heading up, and now a likely price increase in coffee. But he can't be bothered, too busy taking the credit of others...
Columbia is fine taking civilian flights to repatriate migrants and takes over a hundred a year but not military flights. He held the line on dignified flights and sent his plane for a dignified return and not because he caved...
