We all know that you'd go all-out bonkers if a democrat accepted as much as a free plane ride from a foreign country. Hypocrisy much?

You don't know me, you assume because I seem so Pro-Trump that I am total partisan. Not so, although I probably won't vote Democrat anytime soon.

As to free plane rides for Democrats

"We" all know that your hatred of Trump will make you say ridiculous things.

You obviously don't realize that the gift of a plane or anything else worth over $400 given to a US president automatically becomes the property of the American people. Trump wouldn't be getting anything out of it, but don't let that stop you from showing your foreigner ignorance and the ignorance of anyone else you include in that royal "we".

On signing the Inflation Reduction Act on August 16, 2022, President Joe Biden called it “one of the most significant laws in our history.” With the new law, Biden said, “the American people won and the special interests lost.” He repeated the line.
The largest portion of the bill supposedly passed for the benefit of ordinary Americans went to tax credits for favored green corporations, amounting to more than half of the IRA’s nearly $400 billion in estimated environmental spending. The act also authorized hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidized financing for green corporations and environmentalist groups. Populist rhetoric aside, Biden was funneling unprecedented sums of money to a limited number of well-connected firms and “special interests.”
The government’s cost estimates for the act proved almost comically understated. Meantime, much of the new revenue that the law was supposed to generate never materialized. Many of the bill’s projects remain stuck in bureaucratic limbo.
Presented as a plan to reform the economy, tame inflation, and reduce the deficit, the Inflation Reduction Act will be remembered as ineffective in all but increasing both inflation and the deficit. From its name to its premise to its contents, the IRA was a patchwork of often contradictory ideas, hastily bundled together in one of the most brazen acts of political logrolling in recent memory. Biden’s presidency may be over, but Americans will be paying for this law—and its false promises—for years to come.

Trump: corruption without limits. Its not just the Trump clan's self-enrichment at the expense of others - its also globally destabilizing in terms of security policy and it will sooner or later bring American military technology into Russian and Chinese hands, weakening the users of such US equipment, and also American forces themselves. Oh, you American fools who still fall for Trump! Oh, you stupid fools - you have no idea what you're doing. The US is becoming more and more like the Russian regime so revered by Putin, which combines politics and greed, autocracy, corruption and nepotism, the underworld of organized crime.


And this unity of political power and economic greed united in the same pair of hands was Mussolini's definition of Italian fascism, if I may remind of this once again. One cannot repeat it often enough these days.

---------------------------------
The last of the three big US rating agencies have downgraded US creditworthiness. And it seems the US tries to blackmail the world into buying 100 years bonds with no inerests and the buyer carrying all risks and ending up with huge losses. I know a coupekl fo inetnded buyers who are not sutpid enogh to obey the American plot. China for example. India. Russia. Brazil. Anbd I hope the EU decides wisely against it it, too. Its financial slave taking what Trump tries.

Ok Well, truth or anything outside of Agenda will not make it here on this forum. Everything, must fall within the space allowed between the walls.
You can write blocks of what you want. If i write it when i post it it will disappear. It's Magic and that's how Democracy really works.

May Biden recover from his aggressive prostate cancer which he has been diagnosed with hours ago.

For me it is a huge different between a person political carrier and their real life carrier.

Wow, what a way to change the news spin cycle questioning his mental acuity. Everything about the auto-pen use needs to be investigated

Why give MAGA another excuse to do nothing in Congress?

FBI Washington Headquarters Won't Be Missed

The long-overdue shuttering of the FBI’s scandal-scarred Washington headquarters signals not just a change of address, but a necessary exile of the agency’s most politically corrupted core.

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness May 19, 2025

Current FBI Director Kash Patel is closing down the agency’s Washington, DC, mothership office and moving at least 1,500 employees out of the DC area to regional offices.

The decision was not just Patel’s.
During the Biden Administration, it was determined that the 50-year-old Hoover building headquarters was structurally decrepit. More germanely, no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington, far from where most of the serious crime in America occurs.

The news is welcome for reasons well beyond the safety of agents in an apparently unsafe headquarters.
It is no exaggeration to state that most of the FBI scandals of the last decade were born in the Hoover building headquarters, suggesting that the agency had long become top-heavy, politically weaponized, and deeply embedded in and compromised by the Washington apparat.
