He didn't, and it's fucking ridiculous to think so.

He ran for president for self-aggrandizement and then found out that too many people are actually stupid enough to vote for him. He never wanted to be president, but his narcissism prevented him from quitting. Then he got hooked
on people worshiping him. It's so ridiculous that no one ever came up with a story like that, but it's real life. It's your stupidity that made it possible.

In 2024, he was forced to keep it up, to escape his own crimes.
He is now on a rampage vengeance campaign to hurt everyone who elected him.
You're just dumb enough to not understand when he tells you.

Iowa's Abortion Law Turned Against This Conservative Mother

One day, your pregnancy goes catastrophically wrong. The baby cannot live,
the doctors know it, you know it. The only question left is; DO YOU GET TO LIVE?
Suddenly, all those "pro-life" laws that you supported are the reason that the doctors
are too afraid to save your life.

The problem with Chernobyl is that it takes constant effort and money to KEEP
that radiation isolated.

If they don't disassemble the reactor (which would be incredibly expensive), they will need to keep it covered for many hundreds to thousands of years, which would be incredibly expensive. Since Ukraine will probably not be able to pay for it, that means the rest of the world needs to, unless we want it to spread all over the earth.

At least Japan is capable of paying for their "little accident" themselves. They made the whole of earth a little bit more radioactive, resulting in accumulation of radioactivity in animals on top of the food chain (humans), but at least they are doing a reasonable job of containing it now. Still, it will probably cost them much more than nuclear power ever made them. That's the constant gamble being taken, by every country who is using nuclear power. The slightest accident or inevitable natural disaster can damage your country more than nuclear power ever benefited it.

If your country is ever at war, or there are some terrorist who don't like you, you could just paint a big bullseye on every nuclear plant, because that's the reality of it.

It's much better to use that big nuclear reactor in the sky for energy. It's cheap, it's safe, and it doesn't blow up for another 5 billion years.

Domesticated honey bees are not the only bees that would go extinct, they will
probably be the last to go extinct. It's wild bees that you need to worry about.

Other pollinators, including flies, butterflies, beetles, birds, and bats, would continue
to help pollinate plants, but they generally do not pollinate as effectively as bees for many crops. Some plants that depend heavily on bees would produce much less fruit or seeds without them. Humans wouldn’t necessarily go extinct without bees, but agriculture, food diversity, and ecosystems would face major disruptions.

Would humans go extinct without bees?

Did you actually READ anything, or are you just saying shit that you want to believe?

Hearsay from his own mouth. That alone should have been enough for you
to not support him. If you don't see Trump BEING a horrible piece of shit,
on a daily basis, then you probably think behavior like that is normal.
That makes me question your morality and how you treat other people.
If you don't, then why do you think people like Trump should be president?

Are you kidding, Trump has been a criminal all his life.
I knew him to be a piece of shit, long before he ran for president.
I didn't know the extend of it, because he was keeping under the radar, but as soon as he went public, I started investigating him and found an almost unending pile of shit, that each on their own should discredit him to ever vote for him. His character alone should be a reason, but you support him despite everything combined.
Either you have been living under a rock, or you just like horrible people.

Didn't you have investments in only one company?
That means you were just lucky to still have some.
It takes zero skill to do that, only some will.

A "cd (Certificate of Deposit) or money market account" is not really "investing".
It's basically trusting a bank to give you some of their profits, while THEY invest
with your money, making the real money for the wealthy who own the bank.
It's just another system designed to transfer more wealth to the wealthy.

The only chance you have to win in capitalism, is directly investing in stocks
or real assets. If you invest in stocks without skill, it's just g@mbling.

The reason for that money saving you from homelessness and starvation is your own aversion against "socialism". You could have been on disability benefits.
But you probably believed that only fraudsters got it, so you supported the grifters
for the wealthy to take it from you. And now you are doing that for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, remaining Disability benefits and Education support.
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
I don't know how much shame you should feel for being fooled a dozen times.

Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Alabama, and Tennessee consistently rank among U.S. states with the highest murder rates per capita. It's mostly the shithole red states.
I guess it matters a lot to you that the person killing you has an American passport.

If you don't like to be killed by Americans either, you're the safest in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. You know, those horrible blue states.

How will you ever see, something that is clearly a lie.
If you cannot even understand simple numbers not adding up,
you will NEVER see anything.

There is always someone cheating any system.
They are using that to destroy all systems that are important to people.
What alternatives are you getting for it?

In the case of social security, your alternative would be either working till you die,
your own investments or some private insurances. Do you think no one is cheating
on your investments or some private insurances?

Sure, some native Americans sometimes ate people.
Still, their morality beats what MAGA shows these days.
If there would be any culture adopting cannibalism, it would be yours.

Obama forced insurances to cover 'existing conditions'. That's probably why they increased the premium. But it also protects you from getting fucked over.

You are correct that Obama Care sucks. That's because it is an original Republican plan. It still allows insurances to make a lot of money by exploiting the people. The only way to solve that is to create single payer healthcare.

Republicans have no plans, besides making healthcare worse.

I agree, this is pure entertainment. It is hilarious that someone can think this.

"refuses to use his public office to enrich himself?"
Are you talking about Trump?

Enriching himself was his second goal, besides staying out of prison.
Trump is putting African dictators to shame, with his record corruption.
With every tariff announcement, his friends and family made a fortune
on the stock market, with insider trading, which is a crime. If he didn't
control the DOJ and the FBI, this would be investigated right now.

He has been given a 28 point agreement that was dictated by Russia. It is an agreement to give away a big part of Ukraine and to not create a defense force to prevent Russia
from taking even more of Ukraine, the next time they feel like attacking Ukraine.
How can you expect Zelensky to agree with that?

Let's say he does sign it, how long do you think the "peace" will last?

At least I will have healthcare, you won't. It's DIE for you.

Trump is bringing in completely unqualified numbskulls to replaces those
"DEI hires". He is actually doing what he is accusing DEI of doing.

✅ What Is Factually Documented

The object known as the “London Hammer” or “London Artifact” is a hammer made of iron and wood, allegedly found in London, Texas in the 1930s by a couple walking near Red Creek. Its wooden handle was protruding from a rock-like concretion.

The hammerhead is about 6 inches long (15 cm) and made of an iron alloy with a reported composition of around 96–97% iron, with traces of chlorine and sulfur. The wood handle shows some partial mineralization or carbonization, which can happen gradually over time.

The hammer is currently exhibited at Carl Baugh’s Creation Evidence Museum, which promotes it as evidence of ancient human civilization.

⚠️ What Is Not Scientifically Supported

Claims that the hammer is “millions or hundreds of millions of years old” are not based on any reliable scientific dating of the hammer itself. There is no verified scientific analysis proving it was encased in genuinely ancient strata.

The often-quoted narrative that it was encased in 400-million-year-old Ordovician rock is inaccurate, since:

The hammer was likely found in a loose rock or nodule, not in situ within dated bedrock. This means its association with “ancient” layers cannot be confirmed.

Concretion (minerals hardening around an object) is a well-known process that can form quickly — within decades or centuries, not millions of years. Many modern objects are found encased in limestone-like mineral crusts because minerals in water deposit and harden around them.

There is no properly documented geological context (exact location, layer, or stratigraphic record) confirming the hammer lay embedded in ancient rock before retrieval. The original finders never documented its stratigraphic position.

✅ What Scientists and Skeptics Conclude

Most experts consider the hammer to be a 20th-century or late 19th-century tool — stylistically consistent with mining or machinist hammers from that era.

The concretion around the hammer is likely not as old as nearby rock formations. Instead, it probably formed after someone lost or discarded the hammer, and minerals in the local environment hardened around it. This explanation is supported by geologists familiar with limestone concretions.

The only reliable way to estimate the hammer’s age would be through carbon dating of the wood handle, which, if done, points to a much younger age (~hundreds of years), not millions. However, comprehensive independent dating has not been widely published.

The Cheapest Curry You’ll Ever Make — Costs Pennies… and Tastes Unreal!

Curries are a great way to eat vegan, healthy, cheaply, and tasty.

If the boats that got blown up were actually carrying drugs, your border security would wait until they reach American waters, arrest them, threaten them with life imprisonment and then use their "knowledge to catch bigger fish".
That you blow them up, destroying all the evidence and witnesses, is reason enough for me to not believe that these boats are transporting drugs, even if
it wasn't done by the most dishonest, self-incriminating regime you ever had,
that is clearly saying that this is just a ruse to topple Maduro and "take the oil".

Someone who has been rotting in prison for years doesn't know shit.
Trump just thinks that corrupt drugs criminals in foreign governments are OK,
if they are right-wingers, who will serve the US, instead of left-wingers who serve their own people. Here is an idea; send Hernández back to Honduras by boat,
so the Honduran authorities can blow it up.

They are not too dumb, they are too corrupt.

If that is what it is, then I like it. I'm not against good things, just because a political adversary is doing it. Hell, if Trump only did things I liked, he wouldn't be my political adversary anymore.

You cannot teach kids "investing". You can teach kids about the economy, the financial system, logical thinking, emotional intelligence & self-control, ethics & social responsibility, and practical life skills, like goal-setting and research skills (how to gather information, evaluate sources, and make informed choices).

Investing isn't some trick you can just teach. There are some investment options for people who don't have the skills I just listed, but that is just trusting some big investment firm to invest for you. It can make you some money, but mostly you are lending you their money to make money for the big investment firm. If it goes well, you get some money too, but if it doesn't you take the loss, because the big investment firms do a very job
of taking most of the profits for them and shifting the risk onto the clients.

If you start out with a system of health insurance that is too expensive for people, then trying to fix it with subsidies is creating complexities and the possibility for waste, fraud and abuse. You can eliminate the subsidies, but then health insurance will be too expensive
for lots of, or even most, people. The logical solution is to create the simplest form of healthcare funding, which is a single payer system, that pays for everything that people need, and letting doctors decide what people need.

This is a ONE TIME stimulus. Even $250 per month would be a drop in the bucket,
for people who are going to lose their Obama care subsidies.

About 1.25 million federal workers went unpaid during the shutdown: they missed paychecks after it began Oct 1, either because they were furloughed or working without pay.

Among them: roughly 670,000 furloughed employees, and ~730,000 who continued working without pay.

Social safety-net users were also hit hard: about 42 million Americans rely on the food-aid program Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), many of whom experienced benefit delays or disruptions during the shutdown.

Beyond direct government workers or SNAP recipients, many Americans felt economic ripple effects: cancelled flights, disrupted travel, deferred purchases, lost income or income uncertainty, which weighed on consumer confidence and spending.

Great idea, let AI spy on everyone, so you can call the slightest discrepancy fraud,
and destroy those people's lives. This is clearly what people have been asking for.
Americans LOVE government control, and permanent surveillance.

Maybe first start with letting AI check if the wealthy are doing their taxes correctly.
That might result in catching some bigger fish, don't you think?
Trump's fraud alone would easily pay for the SNAP 'fraud' they found.

"The deal’s inclusion of mineral exploitation and economic interests, with U.S. companies potentially entering the DRC’s critical-minerals sector, raises questions: some fear that economic incentives may overshadow justice, accountability, or genuine peacebuilding."

The Nobel Committee, a five-member body appointed by the Norwegian Parliament,
is not going to give Trump a prize for trying to steal another country's resources again,
by helping some dictator in power, even if that results in peace (temporarily).

True, many of them did leave the Democrats.
And now most of them see what a big mistake that was.
If you're fired from your job, because Trump called you a DEI hire,
that tends to sting a little bit.

True, but "forgotten about" is not as bad as "getting screwed hard".

There are lots of these accounts that pose as American MAGA,

hold democracy in high regard, to put it mildly. Isn't that strange?

What's woke about it?

McGovern was Chief Creative Officer / Design Director, responsible for:
- Vehicle aesthetics (exterior & interior design)
- Brand identity (logos, marketing visuals, and overall “look & feel”)
- Concepts and styling of new models

McGovern did NOT decide the powertrain or corporate product strategy,
e.g., whether Jaguar becomes fully electric. That is the role of:
- CEO & Board (corporate strategy)
- Chief Product & Technology Officers (engineering, EV adoption)
- Marketing & Finance teams (market positioning, budget, risk)

He was responsible for the shift of Jaguar’s image away from its older, traditional base (classic luxury/“old British car” buyers) and instead reach a younger, more global, possibly more fashion- or lifestyle-oriented clientele: “a newer, international elite,” as some branding experts put it. There is nothing 'woke' or 'progressive' about that. The change felt too abrupt, too radical, and too detached from what made Jaguar; engineering pedigree, British heritage, the “soul” of classic carmaking.

Did this upset old conservative elites? Sure, but that doesn't make it 'woke'.

The heads of the company decided to make Jaguar 100% electric.
This designer probably thought that the customer base of Jaguar, didn't fit that strategy, so he tried to appeal to a younger customer base. I don't think he was wrong, but I am willing to agree with Jaguar that this is a big risk. The people who have the money to buy Jaguars tend to be 'older', affluent, conservative-taste luxury buyers. You can convince them to drive electric, but if you combine that with Avant-garde fashion, the old clientele will leave.

There is NOTHING 'woke' about trying to cater to the nouveau riche.

You cannot teach life experience to kids who grew up wealthy.

What you usually see, is that the kids of the wealthy just step back from leading the company completely, and just leave it to a CEO and a board of directors,
to squeeze as much profit from the company as possible, so the dumb, spoiled, useless brats can live their lives of luxury. There is absolutely no merit involved
in their ownership.

It's a nice one dude, but you cannot survive on belief in your cock, alone.

Racism is dead to you, because you want to say racist things,
without those things being called racism.

You don't think that society should be based on merit.
You think society should be based on classism / inherited privileges.
When you think that the dumb, spoiled, useless brats of the wealthy deserve to get transferred the companies that their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents created, you DO NOT believe in merit.

There is one very important difference, Biden was supported by many competent, experienced lawmakers, diplomats and experts in their field, who he trusted and who could be trusted to do the right thing, if Biden was going to be crazy.
When Biden would order them to break the law, they would surely reject it.

Trump surrounds himself with completely unqualified, incompetent morons.
They better be loyal to Trump, no matter how stupid the things are that he wants them to do, and they never push back. Trump is ordering people to break the law, while threatening the death penalty if they refuse him. All of these people swore an oath to The Constitution and not to the president, but they are now following orders to break the law. It will require Neurenberg trials after this presidency.

"The average mechanic gross salary in Netherlands is €46.189 or an equivalent hourly rate of €22."
That's $53,918.27/year, $25.68/hour. Google can easily convert it for you.
Just ask "€22 in dollar" and it tells you.
There are of course many types of mechanic, at different levels of education.

At $53,918.27/year, the mechanic could get a mortgage between $215,656 and $269,570. There are still some houses in some areas of my country for sale at that price, but the house of my parents is 3 times the value.

You couldn't leave it alone? Why don't you answer the other comment?

Generational wealth transfer is the cause of the problems, NOT the solution.
People's kids WILL be poorer than them, because politics favors the wealthy.
You should want those kids to be ABLE to make a life for themselves.

My father bought his first apartment at age 25. How old does the current generation need to be, before their parents die and leave them some money, to finally be able
to buy a house?

Houses are scarce goods, they are either owned by the people who live in them
or they are owned by the wealthy who ask top dollar for them, to become more wealthy and buy up more houses. It's our generation that can still make a choice to have people own their own homes, and prevent that the wealthy own everything.

Remember your side being outraged about the phrase "you will own nothing and be happy"? This was a prediction made by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in a 2016, and your side is turning it into a reality. TAX THE RICH, or be happy owning NOTHING.

With "so be it", are you saying; "bad luck for tradespeople, they will be poor"?

You're still not addressing the fact that tradespeople could afford to buy a home and support a family on one income. More people are working than in that time, but people are less well off, even if couples are both working. That's just a fact.

This is not just bad for tradespeople, it's bad for the whole country.
Didn't you say that you wanted America to make stuff again?
To make stuff, you need people to want to be tradespeople,
instead of everyone picking educations to be managers and lawyers.

If you want America to split itself off from the rest of the world,
and you want to close the borders to trade, you need to create
a strong internal economy. You cannot do that with poor people.

America was at it's strongest when the middle class was booming
and you had high taxes on the wealthy, which paid for big investments.
Now your middle class is suffering and your country is losing its place
in the world. The ideas that you support are clearly the cause of this,
but you keep supporting those failed ideas. The US is crumbling.
There is nothing MAGA about it, when Trump is clearly destroying America.

Trump is clearly "winning" too much, and he IS destroying your country.

I'm not forgetting that at all. And stop straw-manning me. That's NOT my opinion.

Why is worked taxed so high and inheritance so low?
The answer is NOT "because the parents already paid their taxes".
We can fix that and tax working LESS and tax having lost of money MORE
and tax generational transfer of money MORE.

Why is EARNING money taxed so much more, than HAVING money
and just GETTING money that you haven't EARNED yourself?

Yes, but the kids didn't. Why is that fair?
You're only focusing on the parents, not on the kids.
Didn't I ask: "Could it be organized more fairly?"?

Why is it fair that some people don't have to work, because their parents are rich
and some people have almost no chances to make it, no matter how hard they work,
because their parents are poor? Is that fair?

Why is winning the birth lottery rewarded and working punished?

phart, lay off on this one, let quint answer.
You already answered for me, don't answer for him too.

If your parents leave you $1,000,000 of inheritance, you pay $0 in taxes in some states.
If you work for 10 years and make $1,000,000, you pay $300,000–$400,000 in taxes.
Who thinks it is fair to get taxed for working, but not for just getting it?
Could it be organized more fairly?

OMG Phart, you really are denying reality, if you don't see that Trump's heart could give out any second. His hands are severely bruised, likely from IV infusions, blood draws, or medical procedures. If it's not from that, than the only explanation is that medications that affect clotting (aspirin, blood thinners, anti-platelet drugs) are increasing his hands to bruise easily.

His ankles are swollen, which indicates severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), the only thing that was officially disclosed.

There are several videos that show Trump being unable to walk in a straight line, and recently him struggling to walk at all. He is declining too, quite rapidly.

When Biden was in office, you were outraged about the lack of transparency about
his medical condition. I don't see you being concerned about that now. In fact, you swallow their obvious lies hook, line, and sinker.

Is it still possible to be racist nowadays?
It's all free speech now, right?
Or does that only apply to MAGA?

"I find a way to earn more so that I can afford it"
Like what? Work 100 hrs/week?

I just told you that a mechanic could afford a house, on 40 hrs/week, when I was young. I'm talking about my father, who first bought an apartment and then a pretty big family home, only a few years later. Interest on mortgages was around 10% back then, and you had to pay a significant sum from your pocket.
My father was the family provider and my mom was a stay at home mom.
Buying a house like my father bought, today, takes TWO people, both with higher educations, and good steady jobs, to afford. A mechanic cannot even afford to RENT on their own anymore.
Do we all need to be managers or lawyers now? Are mechanics still allowed
to live a decent life? Or do they all need to work 100 hrs/week?

You're also not consistent; when we talk about education becoming unaffordable, you are saying that people don't need it, they should just be a tradesperson.
And now you are telling people to work and study hard to get good grades to get a scholarship to help pay the cost of college. Where are those scholarships coming from? Can everyone get them? This is obviously not a solution for everyone.
Even if everyone is working and studying the hardest that is humanly possible,
then scholarships are STILL going to the few smartest people.

Why do people need to do all this "finding ways to make more money",
when they didn't need to do that before?

That 500,000 dollar house was 230,000 dollar, not even 2 decades ago.
Wages didn't go up that fast, so what happened?
Why did life get less "fair,easy or cheap" in only 20 years?

You keep giving nonsense reactions, to obvious problems. Be more honest.

After you outlawed slavery, the former slaves were still exploited horribly,
through the early 1900s. It was almost slavery.

I know about carpet bagging, it's when opportunistic Northerners exploited
the poor Southerners. Why do you think I call Trump a carpetbagger?

Just because you have to share a bit with other people doesn't take all your accomplishments away, or the satisfaction of having them.
Why would you think that?

How about the "I take care of my village" attitude?

To be indoctrinated, there needs to be someone doing the indoctrination.
There is none, it's 24/7 celebration of capitalism here too.
I cannot turn on the TV or radio, without being fed right-wing lies.
I recognize it, because I can think for myself, that's what happened to me.
I see what is happening, and I understand how to recognize causes.

There are simple facts that you cannot deny. Housing was mostly done by the government before, when most people could easily afford to rent, and a mechanic could buy a house. Then housing was left to 'the market', making investors wealthy, and now only couples with two highly paid jobs can afford to buy a house. Owning a house is the strongest wealth-building tool in capitalism, but the number of people who can afford it has gone done a lot and keeps going down. That's hard evidence for right-wing policies fucking the average person over. Why don't you understand?

I actually have a good reason to get out of bed, because my job is worthwhile and it pays well. Do you know how many Americans hate their jobs? They work and work and work, and they still don't make enough money to pay for a $500 emergency.
Do you think that is good motivation to get out of bed?

Everything is backwards with you, because YOU consume propaganda 24/7.
You are sharing it here. It's all designed to divide people, blame each other,
for why you're all working like slaves for peanuts, so you don't notice that
the wealthy are taking all your money.

How do you tell someone who is getting scammed that they're getting scammed?
What needs to happen to you, to make the blinders drop from your eyes?

Bullshit, maybe some land was bought, but most of it was just stolen,
and the original inhabitants murdered or put in reservations.

The slaves were used for the base commodities of the economy.
They produced most of the raw goods. That's what built up America.
The whole argument why slavery couldn't be abandoned was that it was necessary
for the development of America. Obviously America did fine without it, but the South thought it important enough to have a war over it.

Reparations are not based on skin color, but on progeny. For slavery-based reparations, the eligibility criteria would almost certainly be limited to Black Americans who can demonstrate direct lineage to enslaved people in the United States, not all Black people in general.

Europe was built on the backs of poor people, who were almost property,
but they weren't captured in one land and sold as slaves in another.
You love to rewrite history, don't you.
