USA Political Discussion Thread 2025

[apple9927]

Gavin Newsom for 2028 is all but done. Billions for illegals healthcare, housing, free food, debit cards. Yet cuts the budget for safety for wildfires.

Why do Dems love illegals so much, there is a legal process to come to USA. You just can't claim " I want a better life". Does not fly, can I go to Switzerland and just say that. I want your Swiss lifestyle and I should be let in?

 

[thevalleydude]

Sorry for your loss.

I realize that this is a facetious comment but actually its your loss, not mine. There is a chance after this California turns red next election. That would ensure a JD Vance electoral college win in 2028.

You know that it's perfectly legal to get a green card or citizenship after entering the country illegally, right?

And yes, we should definitely start thinking about how to invade or purchase Canada and Greenland, before helping people living and paying taxes in the US. 🙄

Not sure how I lose here,... but thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Ah yes, the old magical narrative shaping. All hail the kleptocracy.

Well, didnt you witness the classic kleptocracy under Biden and president worthy Kamala?

No kids would want my house..... only one bathroom...the horror. No kids would want my 08 suv....No kids would put up with my home made coffee vs a $ 7.00 frappawhatever. Every generation faced its challenges socially and economically. I made choices. One was to have no kids another was to never be owned by a job or a bank.

like the other guy said you're clearly a boomer or close to it

so in other words, you've never paid your way, the debt way of life started when the first cunt Trudeau started to run up the CC to fund your lifestyle you think you "chose"

you chose, as has every generation since

to screw the future generations

by continuing to "choose" themselves in the present

the "good ole days are now"

there is no thought for anything past yesterday

that's why we're in the economic downfall we've been in for the last 10 yrs

well, really going back 40-50, cause all the "leaders" care about is holding power and getting re-elected


and I like most grew up in a one bathroom house and I'm not a boomer

now if you would have said one room house, then you might have had a point

This narrative existed towards the boomers by the Gen-Xers back in the 80s in high school.
I know this because I am a Gen-Xer who went to high school in the 80s.
Cry me a river! That was my take then, and it still is today.
Until the 90s Canadas debt-to-GDP ratio was 70%, and that was brought down to about 50% in the mid 90s by then finance minister Paul Martin.
Up until the end of 2020 it was at around 55%, and as of March 2024 it was up to 68.6%.
So to me it looks like a good portion of the debt you speak of was incured by later generations.
Truth is it does not matter what country you live, what generation you are from, or what year you are living in, you have to play with the cards you are dealt.
We all have to learn to deal with it!

Except I know tons of people that live in one room houses (bachelor apartments) or tiny micro apartments for a little under 2 grand. It’s a crazy decade we’re living in

 

[MRGREEN]

Lots to unpack there. I worked hard, paid my taxes, never took on debt I couldn't manage. There were 18 % interest rates at one point. Built and funded my own pension. Never saw my house as an investment, it was a place to live. Paid off my mortgage as fast as I could. Didn't keep buying up. Only own 1 vehicle and 1 residence (snaller than the ave i bedroom apt). I clearly am a dick.

Quite possible it might happen before. If DT doesn't keeo the money boys happy, they could by a section 24 no problem

You proved it again, you make it everything about DT, seems there is no such word as accountability. Like the fire dept persom said, if you are caught in fire you are at the wrong place.

Truly, which billionaires were sitting at the table when they talked to foreign heads of state? Which ones were put in newly created governement departments? Lets keep it based in reality as opposed to to delusional conspiritorial suppisition.

that was my point, that is something to bitch about

one bathroom, isn't, never was

no, it's all generations, once you are able to vote

but, up until recently

the boomers were the majority

they held the power

now, they don't

the under 50, specially 40 under and the next couple of cycles

are/will be the majority and can hold the power if they want to

and the boomers

are part of the here and now, they're still not voting/demanding that their

"entitlements" be cut

if anything they keep demanding more

OAS for instance, more seniors benefits, property tax deferrals, could go on but I have to go take a shit and don't want to have my colon go on me

after the boomers ruined our "universal healthcare" hahaha yeah, sure we got that

even when they're the best off segment of society

 

[overdone]

OMG look who might have ended the Gaza conflict and he isn't even President yet.

you think the dementia patient

who claimed that the U.S. doesn't need

25% of their oil/gas, not imports, but 25% of their total use

and Canada can cut it off and it won't matter

this is the moron you think actually solved the middle east?

hahaha, sure

he did it single handed

cause what's left to bomb in Gaza? lol

Yeah I agree, thats reality and new in politics but calling them thieves is something also equivalent to conspiritorial suppisition.
Biden administration stole money from American people and handed it over to Illegals, Ukraine and Israel and kept fuelling the war.
Wars are bad for business unless someone is getting a cut on arms sale profits, do you see kleptocracy here?

I understand your frustration if you are American when you look at the budget allocation for Us federal level.

Keep in mind that the illegals contribute roughly 73 billions in taxes at the federal and state level while costing 66 billions

As for the foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel are getting it's mostly armement and supplies that are bought at approximately 90% from US Arm makers and suppliers . True that wars are not the best way to spend your tax dollar , never was and never will be ... What I don't understand is why it's such a big deal now when it has been a free for all with no real oversight or check and balance for the subsidies to the US military complex since the 50s .

How did Biden steal money exactly? What part of his appropriation process was below board?
What companies is Biden invested in /owner of that did better because he was prez that he didnt divest himself of?How much of Musks fortune is due to gov spending already? Why are 26 of Trumps apointees 100+ millionaires? How is a guy with white power tatoos getting put in charge of the military?
Are your critisims equally applied , or are you playing team sports?

Im just asking questions

Your attempts at both-sidesing are very poor and lack both insight and imagination.You're gonna need better talking points than you've been getting fed in your daily affirmation in the cult. Had you say, gone after Pelosi for insider trading then i would agree with you. But what you've put out is unsupported.

You should probably know that Congress, not the president, holds the power of the purse. 🙄
