Since we know Russia had its hooks into the FBI in NYC and we know that the FBI in NYC seized the Jeffrey Epstein files from his home in NYC, why don’t we think that Russia has the Epstein files and any incriminating information contained in them?

If your family has experienced billions or millions of $s of increased wealth over the past 12 months, it probably feels like the economy is booming. The President & some of his economic advisors are experiencing this. Is your family?

They didn’t like the irritating honking noises the goose that laid golden eggs made, so they killed it.
The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large.
Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.

It’s a “violation of foundational ethical principles of human participant research.”…

Just what is the current US national debt? How can we afford to cover the walls of the White House with 24 karat gold when we owe so much money?
Just wondering if he’s using our taxpayer dollars to fund his 24 karat gold wall decals while American stand for hours in food pantry lines.
Trump: "Some of the highest quality 24 karat gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House."

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.
For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"

If the Supreme Court decides Trump’s Tariff Taxes are illegal, do US consumers get a refund? I didn’t think so. Will the President get to keep the “gifts” given to him for reducing tariffs on certain entities?
According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.
Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

No taxation without representation. If Trump ignores representatives that states send to DC then the states should withhold their money.

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
