Quote:The Democrats should stop with mongering and go with pure fear: make Trumptards poorer to stampede the herd of retards. The kind of people who are lazy and dumb enough to vote for Trump are the kind who lack resiliency when faced with adversity. They want Trump to save them from financial and personal problems because they lack the energy to save themselves. 6ix is an example -- withdrawing from life. Living a minimalist existence. But other Trumptards withdraw by divorcing their wives, seeking sex from strangers, and taking up drug habits and alcoholism.

What Happened to Trump’s Meme Coin After He Announced His Tariffs?
By Noor Al-Sibai | Apr 3, 3:52 PM EDT
https://futurism.com/trump-meme-coin-tariffs
Donald Trump's eponymous meme coin is worth less than ever in the wake of his tariffs finally being launched.
Less than 24 hours after the president announced the long-anticipated reciprocal trade tariffs on domestic imports, his $TRUMP cryptocurrency's value dropped to a meager $9 per token.
That's a new all-time low — and remember, it was only launched about 10 weeks ago ahead of the real estate scion being sworn in for a second time.
Obviously, there are far bigger concerns afoot than the president's shitcoin tanking — but you have to admit that it's pretty hilarious that it's happening this way.
Still, the debacle illustrates that Trump's nonsensical trade war isn't just hurting the entire global economy, which has essentially been lit on fire by the tariffs, but even his own business interests.
Ironically, the tariff announcement came just after news broke that the Trump coin would be "unlocking" 40 million tokens, or 20 percent of its locked-down supply, later in April. It's the first time the memecoin has held such an event since its launch in January and could, theoretically, have generated the kind of buzz that would drive its value up.
Instead, it made nary a blip — and after the tariff-induced price slump, it's hard to imagine anyone actually wanting to buy $TRUMP anytime soon.
Per a very unofficial poll on the crypto ticker site CoinGecko, meanwhile, a whopping 77 percent of people who took a confidence survey about the official Trump coin said they felt negatively about it.
From overtaking the $SHIB and $PEPE memecoins — yes, we're rolling our eyes too — when its value surpassed $60 per token and rising to an all-time high of nearly $75, the Trump coin has been remarkably volatile even for its market.
Even on unelected co-president Elon Musk's X social network, news of this latest Trump slump resulted in japes and jibes.
"Donald Trump just destroyed the entire financial markets, stocks, crypto and even his shitcoin," one user jeered. "Everyone fucking hates him now. What a fraud."
In another post, a satirist jokingly begged the president to mention his memecoin at all.
"Pls just talk about $Trump coin," the user wrote. "Need money back Sir."
Those who willingly bought the president's memecoin are, clearly, in the "find out" portion of the "eff around and find out" adage amid the tariff turmoil — and unfortunately, the rest of the world is right there with them.

Trump has not paid his taxes, by the way. Neither has Musk. I would approve of bounty hunters torturing those two until they paid as an example for what will happen to other billionaires who don't pay. The others would voluntarily stop cheating on taxes. MAGA!

Republicans Are Trying to Pull a Fast One to Extend Trump’s Tax Cuts
They’re using an accounting trick to pretend that their new tax legislation is costless, when, in fact, it will add about $4.6 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Words fail me. Well, not really. Here’s how their latest effort to pull the wool over the public’s eyes works:

A catastrophe is unfolding at the top US health agency — and it will put American lives at risk
US health care is never going to be the same.
By Dylan Scott

reak
When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to be confirmed as Donald Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), he had to overcome a long record of fringe anti-science beliefs. He had indulged in conspiracies about chem trails, questioned whether HIV was the actual cause of AIDS, and, most notably, spread the repeatedly debunked theory that childhood vaccinations could lead to autism.
In private meetings with senators and public confirmation hearings, he downplayed that record and claimed he wasn’t anti-vaccine: “I am pro-safety,” Kennedy said in his opening statement at one hearing. “I believe vaccines have a critical role in health care.” He gave assurances to Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, an MD and one of the last Republican holdouts on his nomination, that he would not change federal vaccine guidance
But less than two months into his term, Kennedy is blocking the release of pro-vaccine data amid a widening measles outbreak even as he puts into motion long-term projects that seem set to further erode Americans’ wobbly trust in childhood vaccination. Coupled with the massive staff cuts at HHS, a weakened federal health department is being remade in Kennedy’s anti-vax, anti-science image — an overhaul that could have dangerous consequences for Americans’ health for years to come.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration began to lay off 10,000 workers across HHS, which includes the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. Combined with workers who had already departed or were laid off earlier, the department’s overall headcount is expected to shrink from 82,000 to 62,000 people.
Many rank-and-file staff were simply let go; some senior leaders were offered reassignment in different roles, sometimes in a different part of the country, according to the New York Times. Subagencies focused on substance abuse and environmental health that were previously allowed some independence are being brought under HHS’s direct supervision. Top deputies who might have clashed with Kennedy — such as the FDA’s senior vaccine official, Peter Marks, one of the architects of the highly successful Operation Warp Speed in Trump’s first term — are being forced out.
HHS touches the lives of Americans from birth to death: It oversees Medicaid and Medicare, which cover one in three Americans, it sets the standards for medical care across the health system, including vaccine schedules; and it is the biggest funder of the kind of vital medical research in the country that leads to new medical treatments.
Trump promised during the 2024 campaign to let Kennedy “go wild”; now he and his subordinates have the means to execute his vision.
Some of the effects are being seen immediately as a massive measles outbreak spreads. Other reverberations in public health and medical research may not be fully felt for years. Former federal officials say the overhaul represents a fundamental reimagining of what HHS should be, a withdrawal from an active government role in the safeguarding of America’s health. We could be living with the consequences of these changes for a long time.
“This is not a so-called restructuring. These are reckless, thoughtless cuts that will only make American communities less healthy and less safe,” Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and a former acting CDC director, said in a statement. “They represent an abdication of the department’s essential responsibility to promote and protect health.”
More than an abdication, Kennedy’s new regime is steering the department in a radically new direction — one that seems poised to send American health backward.

Change the fucking tax law.
At 70,000 pages it is UNENFORCEABLE.
It includes so many loopholes that extremely wealthy people ... and corporations ... can LEGALLY shelter income.
How's this:

It has been that way my entire life. What is weird is how Republican voters place no blame on the tricky Republican Congressmen (plus a few Democrats) who created and maintain this silliness that goes on decade after decade.
There was a brief lull in the increase of the Federal Debt while Bill Clinton was President, but President George Bush sent out checks to every American in order to buy their votes. Then the National Debt abruptly increased, for no reason in the minds of every Trumptard living today.
Quote:
First rebate checks sent to taxpayers
July 20, 2001 Posted: 11:39 PM EDT (0339 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The federal government mailed out nearly 8 million tax rebate checks Friday, the first wave of about 92 million checks that will be sent out in the next 10 weeks.
The checks, which go to millions of Americans who filed a 2000 income tax return, range from a maximum amount of $300 for single filers to $600 for married taxpayers who filed jointly. Single parents will get about $500.
https://www.cnn.com/2001/US/07/20/tax.rebate/
This is how Republicans in Congress have increased the National Debt for my entire life and Republicans are doing it again:
Quote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Growth_and_Tax_Relief_Reconcili
Bush had made tax cuts the centerpiece of his campaign in the 2000 presidential election, and he introduced a major tax cut proposal shortly after taking office. Though a handful of Democrats supported the bill, most support came from congressional Republicans. The bill was passed by Congress in May 2001, and signed into law by Bush on June 7, 2001. Due to the narrow Republican majority in the United States Senate, EGTRRA was passed using the reconciliation process, which bypasses the Senate filibuster.
ation_Act_of_2001
You can see how the National Debt fluctuates depending on whether Democrats or Republicans control it. Pardon me, if you are a Trumptard, all you see is meaningless noise.

Quote:One thing the Chinese government has really struggled with in the past, and for good reason, is that they don’t have a lot of natural allies or friends, even in Asia. I think that Trump seriously damaging US relationships in the region does make things easier on that front.

If you listen to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they will tell you, and they have done for decades, that the US is a country that bullies smaller countries — it talks a high and mighty game about these lofty ideals of freedom and democracy and human rights, but in reality it’s just looking out for itself. I think Trump's tariffs make that argument a lot easier to make in large parts of Asia. It’s a huge opportunity for them. You couldn’t have drafted these conditions better if you were a Chinese diplomat.
