Sometimes I wonder if it matters who is President, but in the matter of the judges who get in office, it's glaringly apparent

Tariffs are going to be inflationary, there’s no disputing that,” Walmart finance chief John David Rainey told Fox News on Thursday.

That’s not the message the Trump campaign took to the nation during the 2024 election race, however.

DOGE. MUSK RAMASWAMPY AND MTG?

DOGE intends to work with embedded appointees in agencies to identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions," their op-ed reads.


What this is, is like a store that doesn’t open enough cash registers, creates even more lag time and delays. Of course, on a federal salary with no real incentives like the private industry you’ll have even more uninspired federal workers. Either that, or they will end up doing next to nothing.

*when registers had people anyway.

It's going to be extremely easy to cut the bloat out of the federal government. It was bad before but under Joe Biden it grew exponentially. Every time there was an employment increase a good portion it was it was always in the federal government hiring new people, creating new jobs. It's the hallmark of every socialist regime that government is gigantic and employs more people than the private sector sometimes. Everybody is living off the government tit and it eventually goes Belly Up because there's not enough money coming in supporting it.

It does not matter to me. Those that are motivated can thrive under any administration.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Tesla's plant in Austin, Texas has been leaking huge amounts of hazardous wastewater into the city's sewer, violating local environmental guidelines.

As detailed in public records obtained by the Wall Street Journal, the Elon Musk-led company also allowed a massive casting furnace to spew toxins into the air after its door refused to shut.

These environmental problems continued to be a problem for months. While Tesla bosses were aware of them, they forced employees to come up with short-term fixes, according to the report, all in an effort to avoid slowing down production.

...Now that he's aligned himself with president-elect Donald Trump, Musk has vowed to "delete the mountain of choking regulations that do not serve the greater good" as part of his so-called "Department of Government Efficiency," or DOGE.

I want to hear Elon's side of it. You can't believe anything you read about him in the Press because it's always negative.

It does sound like the work of the deep state.

Trump threatens 100% tariff on BRICS countries if they pursue creating new currency

“To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff, and it’s my favorite word,”


Can you imagine if he'd said "Tax is my favourite word"? Would anyone have voted for him?

A tariff is just a tax, folks. Payable in the USA by businesses ( and eventually their customers ) within the USA.

You guys voted for a dolt that loves the concept of taxing American businesses. Maybe even a dolt that thinks the foreign exporters will somehow pay this tax..... Like he thought mexico would pay for his wall.
