I see some fans of the president in the comments. Anyone want to share what you’re proud of him for?
Is it the war making everything more expensive? Is it the tariffs making everything more expensive? Or is it alienating our allies that makes everything more expensive? Which is your favorite way he’s helping Americans?
My parents are happy undocumented are getting deported.
They immigrated legally. Have sponsored other family members, during their immigration process to the US from
Australia, Ecuador, Chile, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
Not happy about TPS, it is a temporary stay, not years-decades.
Do not want a strong Iran and would like to see Iran govt overthrown, instead of killing tens-hundreds of thousands of its own citizens.
But, they are also not happy with many US allies. But understand, they have a higher percentage of Muslim-Turkey living within their borders.
As for costs? They have no worry, both are 82 and have retirement dispersement of mid 5 digits a month. Donate their SS payment to women’s shelters, homeless shelters, animal shelters.
My family has voted independent since 1992. Mum voted for Stein. Dad voted for Oliver.
But family is fiscally conservative, less spending, lower taxes, more auditing and jail time for those that defraud. Then very high against undocumented individuals within the US…
Hmm, Holocaust really did not do deportations. It was forced migration toward middle and end.
In beginning, there was encouragement to resettle in Israel or elsewhere. But no government mandate to deport.
As for forced migrations into concentration camps. That did not start until 1941. Really increasing 1942-1944.
The Nazi’s did open a concentration camp in 1933. For the first 6-8 years, held mass majority of political prisoners. The large “extermination” camps started 1941. And then more were added late 1942 and into 1943.

You might be confusing the Jewish community and ways they were seeking safety outside of Germany. So they started leaving Germany.
plural deportations Synonyms ofdeportation : an act or instance of deporting especially: the removal from a country by an executive government agency of a foreign-born noncitizen (such as one whose presence violates immigration laws or is ruled detrimental to the public welfare
Ok, they only like Trump for his tough on undocumented and keeping taxes low. But that wasn’t enough to bet them to vote for Trump in any of the last 3 Presidential elections.
i’ve worked in cybercrime, specifically in the fraud sector of a for profit company.
if you think people who make less than $250k a year committing fraud against the government is what’s costing you or yours any money, i’d advise you to further your research. there is a chance you are mistaking the meaning of fraud. even those making above that and large corporations aren’t inherently committing fraud, they are dealing in loopholes that are purposefully made difficult to get unless you have the money to do so. as far as food stamps or any other government subsidy, fraud is almost non existent in those areas. and morally, you could ask view it from this perspective - if the worst thing tha happens to your taxes is that it goes to buy some snacks for someone who might be able to afford it on their own, is that really the worst thing?
How does exposing the libs help me deal with layoffs in my sector where I had to find a new job? How does that justify the fact that renovating my house costs twice as much? What do the libs have to do with the fact that I have to pay $1.50 more for gas?
Complaining about gas prices while the entire west coast is indefinitely twice as expensive as places like texas due to liberal policies shows everyone liberals don't actually care, spare me your faux outrage
Brother... I don't live in California. I don't give a shit about what happens over there. I have to pay $1.50 more here in Texas. Youre talking to me and I want an answer: why am I paying an extra $1.50 per gallon for a war no one wanted?
Brother...I don't either, it's called an example of how liberals do not care about high gas which is why they create policies that make them expensive, do you actually think the goal isn't to expand those? Meanwhile literally nothing you have said refers to my original comment...
The reason gas prices are so high in California is simple supply and demand, not “liberal policies”. Y’all can’t even point to a single policy, you’re just regurgitating your favorite talking points without thought.
One more time: SUPPLY AND DEMAND. California’s population and population density are way higher than the two states you mentioned. High demand and low supply equals…?
And you couldn’t be further. Low supply is also a byproduct of high population, and quality construction takes time. This is too complex an issue that spans both political sides. Reducing it to “cuz liberals” is just a bad faith argument.
Uh...no shell is always overpriced, why would you go there. I go to Costco or sams where my last fill up was $3.09/gal. And yes, every time I fill up I'm glad I don't pay the nearly $8 prices I've seen on here from California. Lastly, none of this has anything to do with my original comment
Your original comment was stupid as fuck and a giant straw man. I'm asking the question and you can't answer it: why did trump increase gas prices nation wide to be $4 per gallon? Not California, not Florida, not any liberal or Republican place. Ignore politics and evaluate him as a leader. Is your life easier because of him? Stop being brainrotted for one second.
You just hate it because you know it's true but you have no answer 🤣 you only want to cry about a temporary gas increase because orange man bad but you'd never care if liberal policies increase prices indefinitely like the unlimited examples we have
You gonna ignore the context of each election and try to go with trends so it's easier for you to keep up with? Some of these positions never had a Democrat ever like district 9 in Ft worth.
Republicans can't win the nomination without trump, but can't win elections because of him. It'll be funny watching JD Vance run.
Quite literally nothing you said changes the fact that the opposition party nearly always has an edge from more motivated voters or the fact that poles show democrats are more unfavorable.
Quite literally nothing you said was worth bringing up when my main points are you're a leech who can't name one thing Trump has done for you without mentioning hurting the Dems. Instead you flail around about California gas prices, election trends, and other irrelevant things.
You're just not a person worth engaging at this point.
Not worth engaging yet you can't stop 🤣 the best part is YOU were the one responding to MY comment and yet you do everything you can to run from the point I originally made, just crying about any and everything else, typical pathetic redditor
Higher gas prices in CA are primarily due to factors like there not being any pipelines from the Texas refinery district, and because due to their unique geography they require different fuel formulations to avoid air pollution so bad that it literally etches glass and strips paint off of cars, not to mention killing people. Gas is cheap this side of the mountains because it can be pipelined up from the Gulf of Mexico coast, and the refineries on the coast are cheaper to operate and can get cheaper oil from Atlantic deliveries from the middle east. BTW, CA gas isn't "twice as expensive", stop exaggerating.
Apparently “special boy” does since you don’t understand O&G markets.
He just restricted supply and created market uncertainty.
Nevertheless, June 2022 was higher. Like it not.
Here’s the difference between you and I. I’m not beholden to be loyal to a political party or politician. Whereas people such as yourself will defend your team and attack the opposing team. Or at the very least stay silent when your team does something bad, but scream when the opposing team does the same or similar thing.
Call out the specific market restrictions. The market uncertainty he created? Are you just ignoring that the prices were rebounding from Covid and the Ukraine war set them off? If restricting supply was the reason, how come the prices all stabilized in less than a year despite the same restrictions existing?
You study Saul Alinsky or something? I’m immune to Rule 5 my friend. It’s typical for people like you to try it.
I could literally give you multiple sources and you will still defend your tribe no matter what. That’s the disgusting thing about political cult members, their undying loyalty. I truly hope you can escape it one day.
I know no amount of information and facts will dissuade you from your kind of thinking. People like you are closed minded. This is the last you will hear from me on this subject.
Gas price on January 2022: $3.14
Absolute peak before Ukraine: $3.29
Hardly the highest it's been. Ukraine was invaded in February and Europe and the US imposed sanctions.
And those prices were because of Covid. You do realize that OPEC had record cuts in 2020 that cut 1.5 million barrels per day into continued into 2021 and there was a delay into starting the economy back up? You think these refineries and drills just come online immediately?
Go ahead and cite your source that says the biggest impact on prices was Biden and not OPEC or the Russian war.
Gas was LOW because of Covid my friend. I was getting gas for $1.20 in the Spring of 2020.
I’ve been in the O&G business probably longer than you’ve been alive. I know exactly how it works.
I never said it was the “biggest”. Typical leftist trying to push more propaganda. You guys are all too predictable. 🤣
Tell me, why are you so loyal to him and his party? I’ll never understand why people are so beholden to politicians and political parties. They sure as hell DGAF about you.
Let's walk through this slowly because you need it apparently:
Gas was extremely cheap during Covid. Countries were shutting down and oil demand was at its lowest.
OPEC decided to limit oil supply so the cost of oil wouldn't plummet all the way down.
Then the supply increased because everything was going back up. The cut to production was still in effect and we were producing less oil globally because there was a delay to get everything up and running. By the time 2021 rolled around, refineries and drills were still not operating at full capacity.
And after all that, gas prices went up. What caused them to go to $5 a gallon was again, the war in Ukraine.
Don't try to give me the Landman lecture of how you know more than me because you worked in the industry. You need to show that there was another reason other than limited supply due to Covid logistics and the war in Ukraine that caused gas prices to rise to heavily. Because the only policy that Biden did related to oil was keystone, and that had a negligible impact on gas prices overall.
I really wish “owning the libs” wasn’t 100% of the motivation for him being elected. When you treat politicians like sports teams, this is what you get.
You don't have to have a brain to see that the president has lost his connection to reality, but his incel boys will defend the presidential pedo ways.
Defend the pedo prez all you like, and sure, there are even some liberals caught up in the Trumpstein files, but so far all over the news and internet it disproportionately indicated conservatives and MAGA are all over the pedo files. But keep coping and excusing the politicians you think care one iota about you.
The POTUS himself has cried about how unfair everything is. He cries and tries to censor multiple people. He cries at journalists who ask him anything remotely tough (and takes their press credentials away). He cried that Fox news showed a poll showing he's unpopular. How many lawsuits is the DOJ losing because they're forced to litigate on things that there's no way they're gonna win all because Trump is crying?
Stop pretending you're unaffiliated. You put more weight on rhetoric than actual tangible policy. Trump increased the tax burden on the middle class with his tariffs. Trump has increased prices on everybody. Trump has pardoned multiple fraudsters and criminals like Philip Esformes, George Santos, and Ross Ulbricht.
He's the president, and here's a concept: maybe he shouldn't do things that make most of the country upset! Maybe Dems would be less radical if the right wasn't starting a huge culture war.
I agree. Trump wants to be the only one outraged. He baits the left and expects them to just sit their and take it. So the left takes the bait and looks like equal idiots in reverse.
We have a right, as per our founders, to complain if the government is not being run properly. Do you think we should stick our thumbs up our butts instead while this keeps happening?
The government is for the first time in years being run correctly by trying to stay out of everyone’s business and you say it is not properly? Our constitutional republic has turned into a socialist welfare state and we are finally turning it back around.
Stay out of everyone's business? Is that why us citizens are being detained without due process or just straight up executed? Is that why the FCC attempted to censor multiple late night shows? Is that why government deficit spending is the most it's been? Is that why we're spending billions of dollars in an unprovoked war?
The government is the biggest it's ever been and spending more money than ever before. It's just far more inefficient, incompetent, and benefits fewer people.
Give me one policy that has been passed that makes it easier for your average citizen.
It's shocking how Trump's followers claim to be First Amendment Absolutists, but when it comes to any free speech other than their own suddenly they're very much against it. It's like they somehow think the Constitution's very first Amendment only applies to them. Of course, a Constitution that only applies to some people but not other people isn't really a Constitution anymore, and without it we're not really a nation anymore, just a bunch of warlords and tribes and the biggest warlord has the world's most powerful army.
Yeah, it's pretty shocking. I'm in the middle of History 1301 for the first time in college, and slept through history in highschool, and yet I still know that much. Now that I've actually read up on everything, what blew my mind the most was how skewed knowledge is on the origin of Democrats vs Republicans - and probably why people a few generations back are so against Democrats (and that it persists). Yeah, there is corruption on both sides and I won't lie, I'm REAL pissed about the surveillance crap Biden threw in under our noses that I just found out about, but the ones actively harming us and attacking us and lying straight to our faces and raping and defiling our kids are - wow - the current administration!!
But yeah, it was a real shock to realize that the current Democrat mind set is actually born of the original Republican party. If we all sat and talked and learned about this stuff, we'd realize it's the values of freedom we all want, but some actually still want to oppress and be racist and sexist and take away our knowledge. I guess it's working. :(
Yeah he really baited and owned the libs with a shitty incompetent administration. I got baited by being mad that I got laid off because of recession fears last year. I got really baited this morning when I went to fill up gas and had to pay $20 extra. I'm probably gonna be baited when I go to Hutchins and see brisket $10 more expensive than it was 4 years ago.
I probably am, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy with the middle class being ripped off and wealth inequality. I also don't like how uneducated the average American is and feel our youth is deliberately being brainrotted.
Crap was already expensive from some of the autopen work a few years ago. We don’t really get a whole lot from that region. Price of oil by barrel has gone down but gas stations are holding to current prices until it is al over.
Crude oil prices went back to $100. Oil is global commodity. Even if it's over soon, it was a stupid conflict that cost billions of dollars and Iran is in the exact same position as they were before the war.
I don't get how everyone blames Biden for inflation when it affected the whole world. No country was able to deal with inflation in 2022 because of a global pandemic and Russian invasion of Ukraine. If anything, the US did far better than all of Europe during that and the US dollar was extremely strong at the time.
Iran's stockpile before Jpcoa and after were both more than what it was under the JPCOA. They had 300 kg of low enrich uranium under Obama. Now they have 10,000 kg with 400 kg enriched to 60%. They proliferated as soon as Trump voided the deal.
Exactly. Amazed at the amount of useful idiots in our society today that absolutely cannot see the truth smacking them in the face. As with all protests in the last 15 or so years, same exact produced signs magically appear same time in various places…follow the money! But that takes the average Joe away from having social media telling him or her how to think and what to be mad about this week. So they don’t do their own research.
I’m not one of these guys but i have random weekdays off sometimes and make over 100k , make sense how some people have the time and resources to protest?
The common insults to left leaning protestors are that the dont have iobs, and theyre being paid by some clandestine forces, always george soros or the clintons.
The answer is no, we have jobs, and we pay for our own shit.
Thanks for posting this here. What would we do without you informing us of what letters those guys with lots of time on their hands throw together each day. Very radical.
People have gone back and compared his speech patterns and writing in the past to his current efforts, and the deterioration in both is stark. He clearly is suffering from some form of significant cognitive decline and/or dementia, and it's worsening at an increasing rate. He may end up wearing diapers and drooling before the end of his term. I'm betting he ends up being secretly stashed in a dementia care facility like Kay Granger was in the last year of her congressional term.
Two faked assassination attempts will do that to a country.
On top of the crazy social media posts from him directly (threatening to wipe an entire country off the map. AI photo of Trump as Jesus, celebrating Robert Mueller death, etc, etc, etc)
Very normal and stable times in America right now.
Oh I was thinking of his campaign rally in Butler PA, where shots were fired, everyone huddled around him, the flag on the crane lowered for the photo op, and Trump emerged with a fist pump and a ‘bloody’ ear.
Amazing that ear doesn’t have a scar from the bullet
Truly sad that an attendee lost their life for a political stunt.
The economy is not destroyed as you say. In fact, the stock market has gone up very much since he got into office, minus the recent downturn, but even then, it's gone back up.
Ah… I really don’t pay too much attention to these types of posts really. As I suppose the majority of people do not. It only appeals to a certain niche minority that actually thinks they are the majority. I just recall seeing something similar.
All ready? You do understand that some people work times that you don't? That some people are retired? That some people think protest is important enough to take time off work?
That's a baseless claim, especially after the last guy had obvious dementia. Did you denounce that? Be careful of the mainstream propaganda... don't be a useless puppet like George Orwell predicted.
Psh, dont lie. If your grandma started tweeting out half the shit Trump does you'd have her institutionalized. Youre just doubling down because you refuse to admit you were tricked by the "No New Wars" guy.
Yeah child tax credit and 25k down payment assistance is the craziness. Not starting a war in Iran, starting trade wars that are causing farmers to commit suicide, and being mentioned in the Epstein Files more times than Harry Potter got mentioned in the Harry Potter books.

OPEC decided to limit oil supply so the cost of oil wouldn't plummet all the way down.
Then the supply increased because everything was going back up. The cut to production was still in effect and we were producing less oil globally because there was a delay to get everything up and running. By the time 2021 rolled around, refineries and drills were still not operating at full capacity.
And after all that, gas prices went up. What caused them to go to $5 a gallon was again, the war in Ukraine.
Don't try to give me the Landman lecture of how you know more than me because you worked in the industry. You need to show that there was another reason other than limited supply due to Covid logistics and the war in Ukraine that caused gas prices to rise to heavily. Because the only policy that Biden did related to oil was keystone, and that had a negligible impact on gas prices overall.

“The pope should shut up”
“We arent starting a new war were just finishing an old one”
“Actually the iranians want us bombing there, were just trying to give freedom to those women”

You don't have to be a fan of the president to point out how incredibly triggered these humans have become.
nervously-defiant@reddit
You don't have to have a brain to see that the president has lost his connection to reality, but his incel boys will defend the presidential pedo ways.
Release the Trumpstein files.
Wizzmer@reddit
Oops. Touched a nerve huh? I'm ok with releasing whatever Democrats need to come back to sanity.
nervously-defiant@reddit
Defend the pedo prez all you like, and sure, there are even some liberals caught up in the Trumpstein files, but so far all over the news and internet it disproportionately indicated conservatives and MAGA are all over the pedo files. But keep coping and excusing the politicians you think care one iota about you.

You guys have all 3 branches of government and have done nothing but cry for the last 2 years.
Wizzmer@reddit
Sorry amigo. I'm not "you guys". But since I got you, what "crying" are you referencing? No Kings? Minneapolis? Multiple attempted assasinations?
See I get downvoted for pointing out Democrats have become unhinged and I'm in no way part affiliated.
kitsunegoon@reddit
The POTUS himself has cried about how unfair everything is. He cries and tries to censor multiple people. He cries at journalists who ask him anything remotely tough (and takes their press credentials away). He cried that Fox news showed a poll showing he's unpopular. How many lawsuits is the DOJ losing because they're forced to litigate on things that there's no way they're gonna win all because Trump is crying?
Stop pretending you're unaffiliated. You put more weight on rhetoric than actual tangible policy. Trump increased the tax burden on the middle class with his tariffs. Trump has increased prices on everybody. Trump has pardoned multiple fraudsters and criminals like Philip Esformes, George Santos, and Ross Ulbricht.
He's the president, and here's a concept: maybe he shouldn't do things that make most of the country upset! Maybe Dems would be less radical if the right wasn't starting a huge culture war.
Wizzmer@reddit
I agree. Trump wants to be the only one outraged. He baits the left and expects them to just sit their and take it. So the left takes the bait and looks like equal idiots in reverse.
inari_otaku@reddit
We have a right, as per our founders, to complain if the government is not being run properly. Do you think we should stick our thumbs up our butts instead while this keeps happening?
glacy427@reddit
The government is for the first time in years being run correctly by trying to stay out of everyone’s business and you say it is not properly? Our constitutional republic has turned into a socialist welfare state and we are finally turning it back around.
noncongruent@reddit
Well, except woman's business, doctor's business, gay people's business, trans people's business, and all sorts of other people's business.
seamus_mcfly86@reddit
Don't forget Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, the EU, China, and the entire world via tariffs. Definitely staying out of other people's business.
What an absolute fucking joke of a thought.
Wizzmer@reddit
Its truly amazing that the left keeps voting for bigger government at ever turn.
kitsunegoon@reddit
Stay out of everyone's business? Is that why us citizens are being detained without due process or just straight up executed? Is that why the FCC attempted to censor multiple late night shows? Is that why government deficit spending is the most it's been? Is that why we're spending billions of dollars in an unprovoked war?
The government is the biggest it's ever been and spending more money than ever before. It's just far more inefficient, incompetent, and benefits fewer people.
Give me one policy that has been passed that makes it easier for your average citizen.
inari_otaku@reddit
Ah, there it is, you do support them. Well I disagree, and it is my right as an American to voice that. Have a day I guess.
noncongruent@reddit
It's shocking how Trump's followers claim to be First Amendment Absolutists, but when it comes to any free speech other than their own suddenly they're very much against it. It's like they somehow think the Constitution's very first Amendment only applies to them. Of course, a Constitution that only applies to some people but not other people isn't really a Constitution anymore, and without it we're not really a nation anymore, just a bunch of warlords and tribes and the biggest warlord has the world's most powerful army.
inari_otaku@reddit
Yeah, it's pretty shocking. I'm in the middle of History 1301 for the first time in college, and slept through history in highschool, and yet I still know that much. Now that I've actually read up on everything, what blew my mind the most was how skewed knowledge is on the origin of Democrats vs Republicans - and probably why people a few generations back are so against Democrats (and that it persists). Yeah, there is corruption on both sides and I won't lie, I'm REAL pissed about the surveillance crap Biden threw in under our noses that I just found out about, but the ones actively harming us and attacking us and lying straight to our faces and raping and defiling our kids are - wow - the current administration!!
But yeah, it was a real shock to realize that the current Democrat mind set is actually born of the original Republican party. If we all sat and talked and learned about this stuff, we'd realize it's the values of freedom we all want, but some actually still want to oppress and be racist and sexist and take away our knowledge. I guess it's working. :(
Wizzmer@reddit
You can act like as big of a fuck stick as you like.
inari_otaku@reddit
I wasn't being rude to you, no need to be an asshole.
Wizzmer@reddit
I wasn't referencing you. I'm saying protest can be as stupid as is legally allowed.
kitsunegoon@reddit
Yeah he really baited and owned the libs with a shitty incompetent administration. I got baited by being mad that I got laid off because of recession fears last year. I got really baited this morning when I went to fill up gas and had to pay $20 extra. I'm probably gonna be baited when I go to Hutchins and see brisket $10 more expensive than it was 4 years ago.
I'm just getting so baited right now.
Wizzmer@reddit
If you've eaten at Hutchins youre wealthier than me.
kitsunegoon@reddit
I probably am, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy with the middle class being ripped off and wealth inequality. I also don't like how uneducated the average American is and feel our youth is deliberately being brainrotted.

glacy427@reddit
Crap was already expensive from some of the autopen work a few years ago. We don’t really get a whole lot from that region. Price of oil by barrel has gone down but gas stations are holding to current prices until it is al over.
kitsunegoon@reddit
Crude oil prices went back to $100. Oil is global commodity. Even if it's over soon, it was a stupid conflict that cost billions of dollars and Iran is in the exact same position as they were before the war.
I don't get how everyone blames Biden for inflation when it affected the whole world. No country was able to deal with inflation in 2022 because of a global pandemic and Russian invasion of Ukraine. If anything, the US did far better than all of Europe during that and the US dollar was extremely strong at the time.

Pretty sure with Iran having uranium enriched way passed an energy amount is a bad thing
kitsunegoon@reddit
Gee when did they start enriching their uranium? Was it before or after Trump ripped up the JCPOA?
Happytobehere66@reddit
Wayyyyy before.
kitsunegoon@reddit
Iran's stockpile before Jpcoa and after were both more than what it was under the JPCOA. They had 300 kg of low enrich uranium under Obama. Now they have 10,000 kg with 400 kg enriched to 60%. They proliferated as soon as Trump voided the deal.

Oh, hey! Exact same signs as we saw in Dallas (multiple times). But this is a spontaneous protest, not a well-funded, highly orchestrated event. 😂
GageDeSoto51@reddit
Exactly. Amazed at the amount of useful idiots in our society today that absolutely cannot see the truth smacking them in the face. As with all protests in the last 15 or so years, same exact produced signs magically appear same time in various places…follow the money! But that takes the average Joe away from having social media telling him or her how to think and what to be mad about this week. So they don’t do their own research.

SimpleVegetable5715@reddit
Assuming he ever had a mind to lose in the first place.
noncongruent@reddit
People have gone back and compared his speech patterns and writing in the past to his current efforts, and the deterioration in both is stark. He clearly is suffering from some form of significant cognitive decline and/or dementia, and it's worsening at an increasing rate. He may end up wearing diapers and drooling before the end of his term. I'm betting he ends up being secretly stashed in a dementia care facility like Kay Granger was in the last year of her congressional term.
JEXJJ@reddit
He has neurosyphilis
Hermit-The-Crab33@reddit
Two faked assassination attempts will do that to a country.
On top of the crazy social media posts from him directly (threatening to wipe an entire country off the map. AI photo of Trump as Jesus, celebrating Robert Mueller death, etc, etc, etc)
Very normal and stable times in America right now.

Amazing that ear doesn’t have a scar from the bullet
