What's the details on the Bill, again?
It's the extension to Trump tax cuts and subsidies with additional funding for the border and defense.

The primary hiccup was this:
House votes on a budget framework which does the above and mandates $1.5tr in cuts, including social security and Medicare, with additional tax cuts authorized if the cuts exceed $1.5tr. This is kicked over to the Senate.

The Senate balks at the scope of the cuts, authorizes the spending priorities and tax cuts while mandating $40bn in cuts but authorizing cuts up to $2tr. Adds in protections for social security and Medicare.

This is kicked back down to the House, which balks at the lack of mandated cuts until just now, passing the framework.
 
I never thought Trump would take off the way he did. 2016 and 2024 were amazing political victories for someone with no background in politics he turned out to be a masterful politician.

As much as I hate the guy I got to give him credit.
Most of my family had the same experience I did with him. We heard about that goofy bastard running for president and just thought it was some sort of gimmick to sell a book, or some business venture. We laughed at him and thought it was funny. Then he started talking about all the shit wrong in the country and thought "why not that orange nigger.. fuck it"


I think that was a lot of people, I still dont' understand why so many people HATED him.
 
The president cannot just unilaterally declare oil prices to be lower. Additionally, the US forced Russia to sell oil under market value to willing buyers via a massive sanctions regime. The only thing the US could've done to impact Russian oil even more would have been to physically destroy their export capacity.
But he can make it harder to drill and thus oil prices go up. He can make it easier to drill and the opposite occurs. Biden could’ve hurt Russia far more if he wasn’t beholden to environmentalists.
Retard cope. Oil is down because people are betting on less economic activity in the near future because of economic instability. Trump I think is pretty close to Total Russian Death after Putin basically humiliated him with his total snub of peace talks.
Then why was oil and gas cheaper in his first term? The clear answer is that Biden put in restrictions which increased prices.
 
Nothing he said is wrong though. China has issues of course, but they literally execute bankers that defraud their citizens.
Only the ones who do it without orders from the CCP

Also the CCP, due to pressure to reduce capital flight, places limits on how much money people can withdraw from their accounts (anything over $7k USD requires a struggle session for permission from a bank employee) and how much they can take out from ATMs while in foreign countries (if you exceed $14k USD in a calendar year, your account will be frozen).
On the other hand, rightwingers love defending American pedophile bankers and CEOs running their country. Private equity hollowing out all of the successful companies and the actual good things that those companies brought to America.
Name names, bitch
They have an odd fixation on Epstein and love to virtue signal that nah, it was ONLY Epstein that was the bad bipartisan pedophile guy, not the thousands of finance guys and CEOs that are actively selling land and assets to China and Saudi Arabia and Israel and funding both of America's political parties to not do anything about it.
It’s literally an agenda item of the current administration to stop China from owning land in the US

Eat dog dicks since you eat dog anyway
 
When the fuck have you seen any of us defending Private equity?

Hinkle: "Wall Street is bad and sent all of your jobs to China 40 years ago."

Person in this thread: "Actually, China is bad instead."

People are so afraid of being called a commie that they end up defending CEOs and the worst parts of American capitalism.

CEOs on Wall Street don't want to round me up and kill me for not being a True Revolutionary. Communists do.

Can I say you're fucking retarded? They're both part of the same fucked up system, Finance displacing Americans for slaves.
 
THe random shot at 0:39 of him just flying in some weird steampunk ghibli thing makes this. It's the only part that doesn't reference any kind of political event or trump thing, it's just "trump but in ghibli". The moment where the gag kind of breaks the fourth wall and is shamelessly upfront.

I don't know the exact term for that exact comedic technique but i see it in a lot of things and it always cracks me up.
Best part is the end with Trump telling Totoro they'll let you grab em by the pussy

Guys, its Wall St. that's the true enemy. Not uwu china. Just ignore the human rights violations, the flooding of drugs to the west, the illegal business practices they use that would get anyone else kicked out of the WTO. Chine is an innocent baby angel.
Why doesn’t he live in china then? Like he clearly loves china so damn much why doesnt he just pack his bags and move there? Ah wait I know why it’s because hes a forgin agent meant to cause unrest in the country and in a perfect world he would be shot for this very reason

Why are you carrying water for China? No one here is saying that Wall street doesn't share some blame. China has done everything in their power to reduce Americas manufacturing, probably including bribing our politicians. So Fuck Wall Street and China too.

That's what the FBI is for.
