I'm really not liking the shift from "we shouldn't be screwing over the American worker's bargaining power by sending our manufacturing overseas" to "At least they're helping patrol their border now. Tariffs were always just a bargaining tool anyways" that I'm seeing.
There are more tariffs coming and they have always been a bargaining tool. The thing is Trumps big goal was to deport, bigly and quickly. But without the two borders actually having good protection it would be like throwing a rat out your open door and not closing it behind you. He needs the Leafs and Tacos to actually do what they said they would and that’s what is hopefully happening.
 

Pleeeeeaaaseee be true

DOGE Has Their Next Target, and Libs Are Bound to Freak Out​


The Department of Government Efficiency has been on a tear in DC. They’re acting like they have a mandate from the 2024 election, and they do. They’re uprooting, exposing, and shining light on the numerous pipelines of government waste and left-wing extremism that’s infected DC. They’re also clearing up many administrative issues, like worthless leases on government offices that are barely used.

Trump loves charts. When 2028 rolls around, he can point to a chart compiled with fentanyl data (deaths, importing it, whatever) and go "See? It's lower folks. I had the lowest fentanyl of any president. No president has ever had lower." While it's not impossible he wants to turn back the clock to a time when federal income tax wasn't a thing, the more likely scenario is he just wants a good chart to inflate his ego.
 
I'm gonna laugh my ass off if DOGE discovers that the only reason we're constantly having to deal with the annual threats of a government shutdown and bullshit continuing resolutions is because the ghouls in Congress can't stop wasting taxpayer money on shit like researching gender dysphoria in gerbils and sending condoms to AIDS niggers in Africa.

You think the seethe is bad now, just imagine what's going to happen if Trump manages to cut so much spending that he not only balances the budget but puts the country firmly back in the black. It's going to be unprecedented. After the last two weeks, it's more likely than we could have ever thought before.
