If you would rather keep the fraud and abuse that DOGE has uncovered, that is your right to support.
@chevymontecarlo88
If you would rather???? So, if I don't approve of a forced takeover of government agencies, firing of employees, unfounded accusations. illegal data confiscation, and defiance of court orders by the POTUS and his enforcer, and don't embrace the lack of due process, it makes me a proponent of fraud and abuse?
Put up with undocumented fraud and abuse (because the car salesmen says it exists) or put up with the fraud and abuse while "due process" is removed from the US. How much did it cost to have a "car sale" on the White House lawn? Sounds like some wasteful spending might have been going on...LOL.

...I can't take the yo-yo trade policies anymore. It's exhausting trying to keep up.
That also affects many people involved in a business, which includes ebay sellers. There have always been the unknown events that can disrupt a business, but this is voluntary and far too often. I'm basically frozen in place right now, not wanting to invest in any more products to try to sell due to the chaos. It makes me wonder how many other people around the world may feel the same.

ETTD, including this forum.
Just leaving that here before this thread hits the dust.

No reason to apologize @gurlcat .
Just stop watching the news and get outside for some fresh air. The 90 day tariff pause will resolve one way or another. Obsessing over the current administration or others that don't agree with you will only hold you back from doing something positive. Let it go.
Everything is going to be alright.

Sure, if it helps her cope with what is triggering her. Making assumptions and name calling is not the way and we do have more in common than you may believe. Control your feelings before trying to convey them to others. If not, it will come off as unhinged like many posts on this thread. Have opinions but don't make them personal. IMHO

My brother , a Vietman Vet with 2 tours of duty, has dementia due to agent orange exposure . Under a program developed during the Biden administration, my brother is in an assisted living facility.
My niece was told last week that DOGE had cut the program and she now has to find someplace else for him.
Such a wasteful government program.

Even if they are a terrific thing (which most experts agree they are not).
I can't get support this administration.
Character matters to me.
I want my President to be someone of high character, not a convicted felon.
How do Trump supporters ignore all of the absolutely stupid things he's said and done?
I'll never understand it.
Probably because the pejorative TDS goes BOTH ways?

That would be a great spot for an airstrike.

That is as tragic as it is outrageous. This sort of thing never hits some "news" outlets, but it needs to be out in the open. I thank your brother for his service and am so sorry for his treatment or lack of treatment now.

Corporations will NEVER bring their jobs back to the US! The tariffs (taxes) are a con game by the master con artist, convicted rapist thief, donald trump.

You like that he suggested injecting disinfectant to kill covid, I don't.Tbh, I still think that was taken the wrong way and was only spoken because he has no apparent filter between his brain and his mouth at times.

LOL! wrong! Tarriffs are taxes, period! Taxes on the consumer of the product being tarrifed (taxed).

There is the law of unintended consequences. China hold a whole lot of our debt what happens when they cash in?
