That's what happens when a traitorous government intentionally creates inflation through tariffs to boost corporate profits. The people were blatantly robbed and should just unite to declare a debt jubilee. The 99% is more powerful than the 1%. Stop being cowardly fucking sheep.

I love the WaPo's AI summaries of reader comments on articles. I find they are considerably more incisive than the namby-pamby articles themselves. So I asked Claude to summarize the NYT reader comments for "How Trump Has Alienated Voters for the G.O.P." Bang on. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...
The comments are overwhelmingly unsympathetic to the disaffected Trump voters the article profiles. The most-recommended themes, by a wide margin, are that these voters turned away over gas and grocery prices rather than chaos, corruption or morality, and that none of them accept responsibility for putting him in office twice. Fausto’s line that it took “higher gas prices for them to reconsider” got about 5,000 recommends, and Barbara Kruger’s note that none of them mentioned “Trump’s lack of morality” got about 4,600. Many readers ask some version of “how could you not have seen this coming,” pointing to Jan. 6, the bankruptcies and New Yorkers who “knew from the beginning.” A sizable minority puts more of the blame on the Republican Congress that let him “run amok.” Plenty of commenters say they don’t believe the story at all: they think Trump voters are hard to poll, will “fall in line” on Election Day, and that the press has hyped a blue wave before. Others worry less about the voters than about Trump trying to rig or contest the midterms. A smaller but notable set of self-described lifelong Republicans say they’re not staying home but voting straight Democratic. A few commenters push back on the scorn, saying the “smugness” and “bludgeoning” of these voters is why Democrats keep losing them and that the party should focus on cost of living. Tavernise herself chimed in, saying that after talking to Republican voters since 2016, this is the first time she’s heard such a clear break from Trump.

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
Dear [name],

For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!

With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.

Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.

I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.

May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!

Sincerely,

[signed] 

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
