After a year in office, and complete failure to solve anything during his previous four YEARS in office, this is his "great" plan.
And people still actually support this effing moron. Amazing.

Ahhh, the man is an absolute genius.
He knows how to spell "whole" AND can identify a giraffe from a drawing!

"In a website update published on 19 November 2025, the agency now states that the long-standing claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is “not an evidence-based claim”because scientific studies “have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

The page also acknowledges that “studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”"

Trump said he was going to be the president of peace. I get there's real world changes that happen, I can understand bombing the cartels much more than doing a regime change in Iran, which very much is the thing we already did that lead to the gov of Iran being radical like it is today...

Stopping the cartels will require war because they run Mexico, basically, the gov can't do crap against them without us, and the cartels are invading us badly. I don't get how we're effectively going to get regime change in Iran, sure didn't work well last time lol.

But I'll stick to what I've said for years welcome to ww3, we're just waiting for AI to takeover in the midst of the new conflict. Pay attention to computer parts prices, electricity bills. AI is here to consume all your resources and take your jobs, and it's also here to start the final world war.

I saw that. Interesting way to keep a few degrees of separation between you and the fraud.

She was pardoned because Trump claimed her conviction for committing the crime was "political persecution".

"Trump commuted her sentence in the final days of his first term after she enlisted two lawyers with connections in his orbit. One of them, Stefan Passantino, had been a deputy White House counsel in the first Trump administration. Another, Adam Katz, represented Rudy Giuliani in a defamation case related to his effort to overturn Trump’s loss in the 2020 election."

I assume you have to ask if we are all in agreement that criminals should get punished, given the oft-repeated sentiment of many here that criminals such as Trump, the insurrectionists, Trump's white-collar friends, etc, should NOT be punished for their crimes.

ANY criminal should get the punishment that is legally prescribed for the crime they commit and are convicted of committing.

Sec. 609.52 MN Statutes

So we must all be in agreement that Trump's felonies should have resulted in a four-year jail stint for him, and hundreds of millions in fines.
Good.

Interesting. I thought I made clear how I felt about Trump's felonies and how long was I in these thread railing against the J6 rioters?

I think we can knock out the current regime, but what will the new regime look like - Hezbola? I think Saudi Arabi would have to take the leadership role in fixing Iran. Keep in mind Iran was the most Western of the Muslim nations in the 70s.

I agree, we'll have to go to war with the Cartels if want to end the Mexian Narco-State.

Not a fan of the rewrite. From what I've seen, there is not difference in autism rates in vaxxed vs unvaxxed kiddos. I think it's just become common for everybody claim they're "on the spectrum."
