There is no reason to give out foreign aid. Zero. Every dollar that is sent to Ukraine, or Israel, or fucking Zimbabwe drag shows, comes out of my blood. Literally? No. Figuratively? Absolutely. Every extracted dollar that I have had to work my fucking ass off for in the labor industry, one that broke my back and sent me packing after 20 years. Yes, the same dollars to fund migrant housing and stimulus. The same dollars that enable non-citizens to get IDs and vote. The same dollars that oddly go to illegal immigrants BEFORE actual citizens who - lets be honest - very likely gamed the system in their own right, but at least they're fucking CITIZENS,....
its all fine and good when Gavin Jewsom goes on a podcast with Charlie Kirk and play nice isn't it? Its nice when we get along isn't it? STOP PAYING FOR NON CITIZENS. DIDN'T THINK I HAD TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD, BUT IT IS 2025 AFTER ALL

>I know that big chip makers like Intel have facilities there
Intel went to shit as soon as they moved their R&D to pissrael.
Have fun doing some basic research on product quality before and after the migration.
The main reason Intel moved to Israel was so that jews could more easily integrate their backdoors.
>Israel produces a small number of very bright people, very skilled chemists, very skilled electrical engineers, maybe slightly above average as a proportion of their population compared to many other countries
It happens because they stole European genes ages ago.
The problem is that every jew believes in tikkun olam, and that "white people" (Europeans that inherited the best qualities from Europe) are amalek.
As a result, they weaponize everything. This is very dangerous behavior when a group perceives itself as the perpetually oppressed.
Have a gander at this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_States
Then find every jew pushing the needle, or approving the experiment. You'll find that jews approve unethical medical experimentation at a higher percentage than their relative population in the US.
Have fun, and do the same for major nuclear and industrial waste accidents in the US.

You're paying jews on behalf of the ruling class and industrialists so that they don't foment civil war wherever you live using blackmail, financial means, or false flags.
In essence, you're paying for your genocide so numbers go up.

>They have oil and we have to be able to buy it from them with US dollars
The US doesn't need their oil. Just annex Alberta. Or not, the US doesn't even really need Alberta oil.

The US only needs foreign industry to restart domestic industry, and even then foreign industry isn't necessary if the external forces are turned internal.

It wasn't staged. They just allowed it to happen in spite of predicting it, because it was a convenience excuse to flatten Gaza. Hamas would have carried out this attack eventually; the only sinister part is that Mossad saw the attack months in advance and did nothing to stop it.

This is retarded.

The REAL ID Act was passed back in 2005, and basically holds that to travel on an airplane domestically in the United States, you must have an ID that proves that you are an American citizen. The problem? The most common form of ID by far, Drivers Licenses, are commonly issued by states to non-citizens and especially illegal aliens. So the REAL ID act is pushed back in its implementation every year, and has been continuously for about 20 years now.

You have to have a photo ID to get on a plane. This isn't new. At all. What the REAL ID act does differently is that you have to prove your legal status.

The ID you use to get on a plane must prove your citizenship status. That's what the act does.

Let me give an example. When I try to fly on a plane, I have to present a photo ID. I have two photo IDs. These are a Texas State Drivers License, and a United States Passport. I can present either ID to the TSA official at the airport before going into the security line to get on my flight. Under the REAL ID Act, only a photo ID that proves citizenship or legal status will be valid. The State of Texas, like every other state in the United States, gives drivers licenses to illegal aliens (they were required to do this under law under the Obama administration). Therefore, I cannot get on a plane using my Texas State Drivers License. Thus, I can only use my U.S. Passport, as the U.S. Passport is only given to people with valid legal status in the US.

Non-sense. If the uniparty really wanted clean elections, paper ballots counted by hand by representatives of the candidates, as soon as the election is finished, would be mandatory. Nothing different as is in the rest of the world.
As for voters committing fraud, just present your driver license and get photographed and be fingerprinted, all which can be done by the candidate representatives on the spot and with minimal delay.
>Don't worry. It'll be a learning experience for many
I don't think so as most are still plugged to the MSM.
This Real ID stuff is part of Agenda 2030, championed before by the UN and WEF and now that the winds changed, by Silicon Valley's oligarchs and their A.I. garbage. It is all the same control grid but with different faces.

Personally, I agree with revoking their tax-exempt status.

Frankly, the Harvard name isn't worth what it used to be. Look at all the BS shit they pulled in recent years. The quality of the students dipped since they got rid of standardized testing (believe the testing requirements were removed 2020 through 2026), though I do believe they brought it back since they've probably realized that getting the dumbest niggers from da hood really doesn't help them at all. Harvard has only gotten blowback from their stunts by well financed jews who clamped down by saying the firms they own/work for won't hire from Harvard or any other "prestigious" university due to the Palestinian protests. However, I doubt that university will be in dire straits, given that its endowment is worth $53.2 billion.

The electoral politics fandom baffles me. Instead of doing anything in their community they just shout about how bad the other side's rich corpse in sunglasses is gigasatan and how their rich corpse in sunglasses will fix everything, and then spend years coping about how every self serving act of power is actually some genious play to keep the promises their PR team came up with.
Even churches are just MAGA war rooms/israel donation offices now, so if you find yourself homeless because your crypto bagholding landlord kicked you out the only people there to help you on your feet now are commies and anarchists, because those two know they'll never get anyone in office. It's ironically because they're so fringe that they're the only ones actually organizing.

Trump is like every other Republicans, his administration consolidates the anti-White gains the judeo-leftists have made. There are 15m illegal alien invaders from recent years alone, and Trump is doing nothing to remove them, despite what he said.
For if there is one timeless truth it is that Republicans voters are idiots who are always happy to accept hot air for real action. As it says in the Protocols.
The Nazis were the last serious White men and Germany was a serious country. The USA is not.

To be fair, staging assassinations would be much more believable if people actually died. The required layer of convoluted-ness it adds makes it more and more unlikely and irrational though. Inevitably leads to psychosis, even.

Nope. Trump only eliminated the toolbox used for the judeo-bolshevik faction to enable him to carry the judeo-zionist agenda.

Food prices are the result of complex market forces beyond anyone’s ability to directly control. With globalization on the way out food prices will probably rise in the short term before eventually stabilizing.

Yes.png. Also we have a global 10% tarrif, and instead of retaliating, everyone is going along with it and barely noticing, because Trump has set the bar so high.

>instead of proposing immigration reform to congress
Dude, there is no way in hell that you believe that congress can or will do shit. First of all the President doesn't introduce legislation into Congress. That isn't a power of the President. He can't do that. Second, Congress can't get any meaningful legislation of any kind past the filibuster. Thirdly, there are too many politicians bought off by big-business in congress to get enough republican votes past the slim majority.

And we barely need legislation anyways. Yes, Hart-Celler should be repealed, just as Cancer should be cured and we should end aging. It's not fucking realistic right now and you know it. So take a victory lap for a 96% reduction in legal immigration.

The US imports almost no food; The US is a major food exporter. It's one of our only exports to Asia. And furthermore we aren't in a trade war with any nation we import food from. We are exclusively in a trade war with China, who buys our soybeans and from whom we buy no food. Everyone else is at a 10% tariff.

In 2024 the average tarrif rate was 2.5%. Trump has quadrupled that tax.
Around 17% of US food consumed is imported. So technically on a pure calory count, the US could be food independent, but personally I like coffee, chocolate, and bananas. All of which is 10% more expensive, because Trump wants people to grovel and beg at his feet

That's an absolute maximum increase of 1.275%, and most of that is actually going to borne by changes in the exchange rate and on the producer. You'll be alright. Fixing the deficit and the trade balance is more important.

Yes. In an open market, a trade deficit must be financed by foreign investment. This can be the Chinese buying land, the Japanese buying out American businesses, or everyone buying American treasury notes. Generally this means that a budget deficit in the federal government will cause a trade deficit as it makes the USD more expensive and thus encourages imports and decreases exports. There's a reason that the trade deficit and the federal budget deficit are such similar numbers and are correlated.

Tariffs are a tax that raises revenue directly for the Federal Government, thus doing at least that little bit towards reducing the budget deficit. They also provide an obvious incentive to not buy as many imported products or to source the same locally, which more directly effects the trade deficit.

The little bit of tax income (relative to other tax income) is pretty much irrelevant to federal budget deficit, especially if the tariffs have their intended effect of decreasing trade. What has a bigger effect is the long term damage to the US economy that the tarriffs cause. The size of the US economy is 1:1 correlated with US tax income

>when a the US has a trade deficit with a country, that country has to buy treasury notes
Cool, we print those. We are getting goods for printed money. Awesome. And Inflation has been staying around 2-3% ish percent long term.
I don't understand how buying treasury notes increases the federal budget deficit. I don't think the Fed is saying "oh shit china wants to buy a billion dollars of federal notes, make sure to spend another billion dollars on military hardware so we can increase the federal budget deficit by a billion dollars"
>sometimes they invest in US companies
cool
>sometimes they buy land
Not cool, but I haven't heard much about this happening. Is it really that significant?

The US also has a services trade surplus that counters like 20% of the goods trade deficit

>The tax income is irrelevant
Then why be up in arms for what is going to be a less than 1.25% increase in price? If it's so tiny as to be irrelevant, then it's irrelevant and there is no need for pearl clutching.

>I don't understand how buying treasury notes increases the federal budget deficit
That's what the budget deficit is. The Government sells bonds. People buy them. People buying them doesn't increase it; when the deficit increases, people must necessarily buy the bonds to pay for it. People buying notes doesn't cause the government to sell the bonds, except that it reduces the interest on the bonds, giving the government an incentive to sell more. But the reverse, that people must necessarily buy what the government sells, is necessarily true.

>What has a bigger effect is the long term damage to the US economy that the tarriffs cause
The US had vastly higher tarriffs in the 1800s and up to the 1930s. We've had """Free Trade""" since 1970. How much has the economy actually increased since then? Are we actually wealthier? Are wages actually higher? No. It's exactly the opposite. Most people have become poorer since free trade because now their wages have to compete with the whole planet.

The U.S. Economic model under free trade is basically this: People in the U.S. who can't get jobs go onto disability payments. With this money, they but cheap plastic trinkets from China. The Chinese government takes this money and uses it to buy Treasury bills from the U.S. And the US in turn, uses these sales to pay for the disability payments. This is harmful, insane, and unsustainable.

>land
Yes, but that's an entire tangent I don't care to go into

>services surplus
This is true, but the trade deficit covers the total of both, and on the whole the US imports more than it exports. The tarriffs do not cover services, but a negotiated solution to the tarriffs likely would.

To give an example, Canada has a law that states that something like 40% of its media played on televsion or radio must be domestically produced. This of course is to limit specifically American media from taking over Canadian air. America does not have such restrictions; the radios can play Nickelback as much as they want. An even more dramatic example is China only allowing a very limited number of American movies to play in its theaters. This and restrictions like it are asymmetrical barriers to trade that could be eliminated in a negotiated settlement.

tariffs are an anti-progressive tax. so you don't get much income, but it impacts certain people and industries a lot. Impacting certain industries is the whole point of a tariff
a progressive tax (like federal income tax) gets more income from high earners, and doesn't impact low earners much. Gaining money is the point of the federal income tax

>economy hasn't grown since 1970 meme
maybe when you just compare wages to house prices. This is more of a housing issue (which is a zoning issue). tariffing lumber and drywall doesn't help here

>randomly brings up non-tariff barriers that might be "le negotiated" down
can you name a single "le negotiation" that has reduced trade barriers?
Even with every trade barrier on the planet entirely removed, the US would likely still have a net trade deficit. Is the goal to remove the trade deficit or is it to remove trade barriers?

>But it’s a regressive tax
Yes. The best move the Trump administration could possibly make is for Congress to allow the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to expire save the parts that eliminates deductions for state income tax after $10,000, for Trump to abandon his campaign promise of eliminating income tax on tips, overtime, and social security, and for the capital gains tax to be completely eliminated and folded into the income tax. Is this viable? Not just no, but hell no. It could never happen under a Republican administration and a Republican Congress. Ever. Congress could never go along with it.

You must, as Machiavelli says, learn to accept the inconvenience of things and call the less bad good. We can’t sustain a 2 trillion dollar deficit forever. Tariffs are the only tax completely within the power of the executive branch.

> can you name a single "le negotiation" that has reduced trade barriers?
Nigger the negotiations are going on now. As we speak. That’s why there’s a 90 day pause. They are meeting with representatives of many nations now and negotiating. What do you want me to do? Invent a Time Machine and go two months into the future? Find a leak if the ongoing negotiations? This is pointless bitching. And how is it random? You’re bitching about the tariffs and the trade war. You have correctly pointed out that the U.S. exports many services. I am pointing out that a part of the negotiations is sure to include non-tariff barriers to trade. One example that Trump brings up every time he speaks is Canada not allowing American banks to operate in Canada, even as Canadian banks can operate in the U.S. I am certain that the negotiations with Canada are going to cover this barrier to trade and others that aren’t common knowledge. Will the barrier to trade be eliminated in exchange for eliminating or reducing tariffs on Canada? I have no idea. We’re gonna find out, and we’re gonna find out soon.

As I was typing this reply, I heard that “The White House has 18 proposals for Trade Deals.”

Has there previously been some barrier to trade that was eliminated in a negotiated settlement by some pair of nations at some point in human history? I am absolutely certain there has been. Do I know any off the top of my head? No. Am I going to waste my time looking up this “””random””” topic? Absolutely not. You look up every trade deal ever made, you prove it’s never happened once, and you come back to me. The USMCA is probably the most obvious place to start.

>It’s a housing issue
The lack of increase in average wages was a well known talking point before the explosion of housing prices.
>increase the supply of lumber and drywall.
If only the U.S. had a supply of trees and gypsum. There’s so much Calcium sulfate (the main ingredient in drywall) produced as a by product of burning coal for electricity that it has to be thrown away. Housing prices are a result if immigration, speculation paid for by an inflationary monetary policy, and restrictions on building houses from thousands of local government. It has little to nothing to do with trade.

>Is the goal to reduce the trade deficit or is it to reduce trade barriers
Eliminating barriers to U.S. exports to foreign nations will increase exports and thus reduce the trade deficit. This is self-evidently obvious.

The goal of the tariffs is to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and on shore critical industries. This will be accomplished by selective tariffs on critical industries, and negotiations that should reduce barriers to U.S. exports, as well as, I assume, probably an indefinite global tariff of 10%, or maybe higher on selective nations, combined with deregulation of industry and tax credits to pay for the reshoring of industrial production. Will this effort completely eliminate the trade deficit? Absolutely not. Will it reduce it to at least some degree. I assume it would, yes.

I get it. You hate Trump, so you impulsively say that everything that Trump does is bad. But what the hell do you want him to do? You want a continuation of the status quo? How does that benefit anyone but a narrow band of the rich? We’ve had enough of doing nothing. It’s time to do something. And like it or not, Trump is doing something.

tariffs are probably the worst tax possible for raising money. Its a tax exclusively on physical goods, its a tax on raw materials, its a tax on manufacturing in general. You could probably pick any other tax strategy in the past 100 years of American history and that tax would raise more money with less negative economic impact
>Tariffs are the only tax completely within the power of the executive branch.
only if there is a national emergency, which there isn't. Trump made up some bullshit about fent to be allowed those emergency powers.
>what do you want him to do
Trump has MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. Why can't he pass a tax bill? Why does he have to make up bullshit emergency powers?

>immigrants cause housing issue
immigrants will pack 2 families of 12 into a single ranch house. if everyone lived like an immigrant, there would be no housing crisis
a lot of construction workers are immigrants, so deporting millions of them won't help.
but again, this is really just a NIMBY zoning problem anyway.

>goal to eliminate trade barriers
>let him cook on le negotiations
Do you think that the average total effective tariff rate will be lower in December 2024 or December 2025?
I think with all these trade wars, we will have to be very very lucky to get below what we had pre liberation day.

>You want a continuation of the status quo? How does that benefit anyone but a narrow band of the rich?
Apple was able to call up trump and beg for a tariff exemption. Your local mom and pop shop can not call up trump and beg for a tariff exemption

NIMBY detected
I'm not saying that anyone should shove 2 families of 12 into a ranch house, but the insistence that the only valid form of housing is low density single family houses with their own front and back yards makes new housing incredibly difficult to build.
If duplexes or townhouses or apartment buildings were easier to get zoned in your city, you wouldn't have a housing issue.

What NIMBY-ism are you seeing? Ultra-dense housing is a hellscape and a breeding ground for horrors.

It is fundamentally unreasonable and unjust to artificially flood our countries with millions and millions and millions of third world foreigners. Forcibly export them back to where they came from. These long term uninvited guests do not belong and have no claim to these lands.

Only once that is done will it be clear how to deal with the housing demand.

If this is not prioritized, then the housing demand issue will be politically usurped to be yet more "we need to kill our own civilization to serve destructive and hostile foreigners who actively disrespect our way of life" nonsense.

My people are more important than the peoples of other civilizations. That many of my people have grown up in such a comfortable place that they've forgotten that the world is an unkind place to those who fail to maintain borders is one of their chief sins. Kindness, a strength in a homogeneous society, becomes an extreme weakness when foreign groups seeking to take without giving move in.

The housing problem exists specifically because of government and boomer sabotage. Turning all cities into ultradense hellscapes like New York is not the way a place should grow. This takes a lot more than a few more apartments and townhouses.

The better solution is to found new towns. Spread the population out wider, not taller. Ultradensity is not a sustainable solution.

I want exports to happen _much faster_ than they were being imported over the last four years. The goal is to repair society, NOT to return to "just before the last openly bad administration screwed us even harder". It's to entirely and completely pull the plug on the willful sabotage of society that the leftist projects are about.
Their generations of "let me just try this thing for a little while" has proven to be a mistake, so the plan will be cancelled and un-done. No questions, no negotiations, no ifs, ands, or buts.

>Diddy Files
>Who Cares?
It is important. "Everybody who's anybody" is in on it. We are all being ruled by some of the most vile creatures humanity is capable of producing. They lie, they sabotage, they harm innocents, and they live in a philosophical world where the highest thing to seek is sensory stimulus. The overly credulous morons who populate much of the public will definitely never do anything about this if they are not constantly made aware of this and reminded of it. The masses might still not do anything about it after being made aware of it, but there needs to be a reasonable threat of negative consequences for everyone, including those at the top of society. Otherwise they will continue to only ever get worse and worse and worse over time.

>Big Arrests
This links again to people of a certain class being immune to consequences. It should happen. Not just a few sacrificial pawns, but the guilty parties. Have them work diligently for good for years to reduce their sentence from life in prison to just a decade or two in prison. But they definitely deserve punishment that the public is made aware of in order for people to maintain their fading embers of trust and faith in the system.

The States are in what looks like a much better situation than before Trump got almost taken out. The good parts of his administration are strengthened in several ways over his 2016 term, and I do expect him to make some actual improvements and gains over the absolute shitshow that is the current government.

I give congratulations to the States for the benefits they are getting through Orange Man's second administration, and condolences for the portions of his behaviours that are controlled by the jews. I wish for a similar if not greater improvement and garbage-clearing in all western nations.
