According to bluesky Non-citzens can't vote, which legally is true but it doesn't stop blue states from allowing it.

They're also crying about the interview and still believe that it's photoshopped.

By the way this is what the guy on the bottom looks like, he has his own thread I made if anyone's interested in that, a bit of self-shilling but it doesn't hurt nobody.

And they also still think Trump is the one who can't think.

As posted above Q1 GDP went down 0.3%, but this is largely due to federal jobs being cut, federal spending being cut, and a large amount of imports being done before the tariffs happened which messes with GDP. Even with all of that, only going down 0.3% is great, and it will probably be growth of 3.5-4% in Q2.

This is the economic equivalent of getting Chyna Virus and being told you're going to die alone with a ventilator up your ass, when in reality it's just a week-long cold and you're fine and now you have immunity. Gilead will soon be upon us.

Once upon a time it was almost worth exposing your spirit to Reddit just to pop some bubbles, and you’d only catch bans one sub at a time

These days you’d catch an immediate site wide ban if you pointed out that guy is fatter than trump

Honestly this just shows how effective DOGE actually is. The cuts having barely any effect on GDP shows how much dead weight it actually was.

More roadblocks to protect the country from illegals.

I have a proposed solution: sue the everloving fuck out of California to hold them responsible for any crimes committed by any illegals they allowed in. If there’s any shred of evidence that the illegal came through California, if they used a phone that pinged a California tower, for example.

Don't Federal agents have jurisdiction basically everywhere?

It's actually the opposite. The bigger the cuts, the greater effect on GDP you'd expect. The truth is that the REAL economy is growing so much that even getting rid of a lot of artificial GDP created by government spending was only enough for a 0.3% drop.

And on top of all of this, the St. Louis Fed was predicting a -2.73% drop only yesterday, and the actual number was less than a ninth of that.

I thought we were supposed to ignore downturns in GDP/stock and use fake numbers to make it look better, or was that only OK with biden?

I will say the moment to moment stock/GDP downturn or upturn should never be taken as some extreme indication. You're looking at one datapoint and wildy extrapolating from it. You need to look at longer term trends to understand.
