President Donald J. Trump (for Trumper supporters)
I was able to fix the thread title by creating a new thread. Howboudat
[QUOTE=Land O Lakes;58878092]Yeah, I don't know what to say if your default is to defend text written on random tweets when someone points out that it's probably bullshit. That's the kind of shiit Trumpers do.
At least if you listened to him speak you could say he's ******ed, and that would better support the idea that he voted for Trump with a wife whose papers are in limbo.
Just lmao. Mr. Conspiracy Theory is projecting himself onto others.[/QUOTE]
If you have some reason to think it's BS, then sure if there's a reason. I'm not confident that he voted for Trump or anything, but you just thinking he didn't isn't any evidence that he didn't.
I don't think it's absurd that he did. If such a thing could be determined I would bet that at least 10% of people who have undocumented spouses and voted, voted for Trump. No way it's less than 5%. Finding one person in this spot isn't finding a unicorn at all.
Presidents generally go to sites to visit and support the surviving people of natural disasters or terrorist events, they don't "visit the site" just to "visit the site". If he did go, they would have to close the airport for hours (besides he has a lot of much more important work to do atm; he has a lot on his plate).
If I were him I would of asked that reporter "why didn't you ever ask camela why she didn't "visit the site" at the southern border?
sick burn, brah
moved posts here that were inflammatory in their old location

I provided a very good reason: He never stated he was a Trump voter/supporter and he didn't give his name so it's not possible for anyone to look up his voter registration.
Someone took a screenshot from a video in a news article and posted it on Twitter, with no reference to the news article, and added that he voted for Trump when there is no mention in the article that he voted for Trump by him or by the reporters.
Here's the news article. Watch the video and read the article. Let me know if you had stumbled across that article if you would assume to know who he voted for or if you would just focus on the part where his wife was taken from him.
Well enjoy your hire living expenses Americans. Seemd Trump did click out and only put tarrifs on a few things to say he did tho
Providing comfort to those affected by a tragedy is a pretty big part of being president. It would be one thing if he was genuinely good at certain portions of the job and they made up for deficiencies. But he’s like the guy who never shows up at meetings and can’t complete his assignments on top of that.
Not governing much is a lot better than what most politicians can do though. Not doing anything at all for example would be in the top 10% of the best politicians ever.
Not adding anything ever and only removing stuff others did before you would put you in the top 2%.
The vast majority of active political choices (except those that remove previously existing politically enacted rules/laws) are a massive damage to society.
I hope y'all bought that Trump crypto! The [strike]Don[/strike] President loves it! 😀
All the rest died.
Bullshit.
The order builds on rules adopted in 2023 that let troops previously kicked out to return to uniform. But few have, with no promises of back pay or benefits. A total of 1,903 soldiers, 1,878 sailors, 3,748 Marines, and 671 airmen were separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, service officials told Task & Purpose on Monday. Of those troops, only 73 soldiers, 25 Marines, 13 airmen, and two sailors have returned to the military.
We voted for this.
Oh, booba, all is forgiven
I think the Christian Fascist will approve of that.

When the NRLB gets cancelled, don't think it's because of the young christian fascists for government efficiency, it's because they were in court with SpaceX and Elon.

Activity on political social social media is about 50% bots, the headlines are made by influencers motivated in large part by money, and machines decide what to spoon-feed users, their logic dictated by how you can keep people scrolling, steal personal information and expose them to as many ads possible.
And you're a grown man who spends his time echoing tweets and memes from this unhealthy loop on a politics forum. In the process you seem to have left any notion of free thinking or personal opi
Id say if someone cant figure out fake news on social media then there is no way they can figure it out with legacy media.

right CNN is famously not motivated by money I guess.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
I work for a non-profit that's 70% funded directly and indirectly by the government. Once Trump won the election we revised our entire budget knowing that in 2026 we were going to see a reduction in funding because we lost funding during Trump's first term and subsequently restored under Biden.
Over the past few weeks we have had to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how much of our funding we are going to lose now. It's been chaotic to say the least and that's definitely affected our ability to provide the services that we provide. That's wasteful and it's 100% on Trump. If we lose it all we will let over 50% of our staff go and the dozens of rural communities we serve (mostly red) will be directly impacted.
Most non-profits have terrible indirect costs and it's not because they are grifting the system it's because of the immense amount of overhead required for reporting, especially to the government. Our indirect is at 28% and we've worked our asses off in the past five years to reduce it from nearly 35%. Every serious funder asks us what your indirect costs are and it's in our best interest to have it as low as possible as no one wants to pay for indirect costs. Our accounting department is twice as big as it should be and it's wholly because of reporting. We can't keep anyone who isn't dedicated to our mission because we can't pay more than 75% of what a private sector job pays.
By the way, non of our programs have anything to do with all of Trump's anti-woke, trans and whatever other boogeymen that they want you to fear. Our government funding mostly provides math and English help for elementary school kids and a ton of social support for rural communities.
So, instead of actually trying to solve the problem by attempting to reduce the regulations regarding reporting and actually lower our indirect costs, they're just cutting the indirect funding which will lead to worse outcomes for everyone and you and everyone else are cheering.
As a side note, 25 years ago my wife was a grant accountant at a major research university and managed their $400 million NIH grant. One of her main goals was to audit all of the department's requests for equipment and cut the excess **** the research scientists wants to get, which was a lot. It wasn't to reduce the $400 million, it was so they could do more with it. At the time my best friend's dad was one such scientist and was used to ordering whatever the **** he wanted and my wife put a stop to it. Not knowing she was my wife, he cursed her out and told her that he was going to get her fired. Knowing she was doing her job, my wife took it in stride and when word got back to him about who she was he called an apologized.

NGO should get absolutely 0 money directly or indirectly from government.
NON GOVERNAMENTAL, it's in the ****ing name.
It should be absolutely, no exception illegal for the government to fund NGOs domestically or abroad, directly or indirectly.
If the government wants to fund "math and English in rural communities" it should do so directly, with government employees (hint:it shouldn't at all, it is not something the federal government should ever have anything to do with).
