or....the scary dept can be a reason to walk back years of tax cuts for the rich

why is it just a scare to increase the tax on the rich when we've been doing constantly over decades and there's only fights about decreasing social services or holding the line, but the tax cuts for the middle class have been temp and the right, permanent and water under the bridge?

the fact that the entire crowd laughed and applauded (included making strait of hormuz an american territory) also made my skin crawl. that's our fellow voters

i notice "tax cuts for the rich" was not in the list of desired things and yet that passed without difficulty.....

if our intelligence evaluated iran to be about to make nukes he'd be waving the report around for all to see...that he's not and just has "if X happens that'd be bad" shows it's coming from his feelings...based on..what? the same feelings that told him the vandals destroyed the reflecting pool?

"good faith" the fatal flaw.... ironically the ones with the least are the ones who claim the most faith of all...

pepperidge farm remembers a time when politicians thought being found to have lied would be the end of their career. and then...they saw the light...☹️

easy politician workaround....they can just say they never wanted to cut these things but... regrettably, the national debt requires it (but apparently tax cuts for the rich is absolutely essential...notice how that ALWAYS makes it through?)

we can't expect/run on assumptions of good faith behavior. we need more detailed laws about transparency and honesty. i'm sure that'll happen about the time both parties agree to ban large money contributions...

maybe they wanted to go out on good terms with people they know who might offer them easy corporate jobs or employ some up and coming family member...or maybe just agreed for an outright crypto gift...

the problem is...what does it cost trump to ignore the supreme court? nothing. so how many times can he do it? infinite. who tf designed our system?

trump: greenland invited us greenland: we asked to be left alone while we formed a new government trump: we've been talking to china every day china: we haven't had any communication could be every other country but us are liars....or... :-)

"biggest tax cuts" the devil's in the details...which are temporary, which are permanent, how much are for the rich...

when will we EVER have an election that is the most important of our times because the democrats are promising amazing new improvements? it's only because the deplorables become more deplorable that the stakes keep increasing... so tired of this... sigh....

shhh! are you trying to increase his popularity with evangelicals? we're trying to resist him, and here you are promoting him. 😛

our do-nothing democratic leadership would NEVER do anything that looks so...partisan. heaven forbid we antagonize our esteemed colleagues, the republicans. they only do what they do out of fear of trump...let's feel compassion for them. 😁

no one should listen to trump for news. he only says what sounds good and for a war, victory sounds good...there it is. you know who else tells his people everything is going well? putin.

"a lot of people don't know..." unless maga agrees because they don't themselves know it, i'd wonder why such statements make people realize how stupid and free with "facts" he is

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
technically he HAS an answer, but as typical with politicians or...anyone for that matter, the answer is not really useful just a response. he said a lot of is used to help venezuela...how much? in what way? who knows....reporters never ask that and his brain would probably feel attacked.

i can see it from trump's pov....none of that money is his anyway and hopefully the gratitude of israel will manifest itself in favors and money more directed at himself :-)

well citizenship from being born in the country is in the constitution and somehow the supreme court seriously considered if an mere executive order could cancel that.

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
this sounds familiar, like how someone who supported and comforted insurrectionists can't run for president. we all saw how effective pointing that out was... if he ran for a 3rd term despite the constitution i wouldn't be surprised. and the gop says it's the party of the constitution 🫤

"do-nothing" democrats. but why are they there? is the dnc choosing to fund their campaigns? are there ways to change the people in the dnc?

i can't imagine any previous president or even other country punishing another country experiencing a natural disaster. when california was having fires he blamed california and said canada managed their forests better. he has no actual beliefs, just whatever suits his insults for the day.

a politician lying to the american people should be at least as illegal as a ceo lying to shareholders

describes maga perfectly and to make it gop hypocritical they have to claim they're the exact opposite of these things

who paid for the modification of the qatari plane? who decided that some defense features could be skipped? if the dept of defense paid does that mean they own the plane? is the new rule that all money in executive budgets can be used freely by the president? if so, congress has lost it...

10 of the last 11 recessions have started under a republican president..... pretty compelling and yet gop keeps repeating that they are the party of the economy and democrats are quiet.

shame vanished when they discovered everything blows over and we forget and reset (or worse, become accustomed)

what's the point of having laws when none of them are activated. the more obvious a violation is (there will always be delusional defenders to deny anything obvious) the more clear it is the easier it should be for the system to act on it. (speaking of our laws in general, no impeachment)

if we're close to being able to have self replicating factories on the moon imagine what we could do even sooner on earth without hauling everything up the grav well, and where all our tech is already designed for our environment. everything is just 2 years away. trust me bro 🙂

test every soldier for testosterone? ballroom, reflecting pool, arch? it seems like incompetence with power end up getting obsessed with such minor crap. does it impress anyone besides other incompetents?

people who say trump isn't working on lowering prices which is important to americans make me wonder....why do they think that he'd be any good at lowering prices? because...he says he's good at it? he says a lot of things that aren't true 🙂

i think technically according to NY state law he's a sexual assailant. but actually that's grounds for making him the GOP/evangelical star candidate

why does trump hate spain so much....is it because they speak...mexican? 🙂

i think he said because it's the 250th anniversary it's appropriate for trump to be on money. WHY? i don't see the reasoning. did he found the country? if anything an insurrection he supported (still supports) should argue the opposite

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
trump should just declare every election everywhere invalid. if he did then it would be obvious he's just doing it as a copy paste with no evidence...but you know what? it doesn't matter because the gop will support it. reality has no bearing. all will be stuck in mud.

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
like how trump got fined for calling his sexual assault victim a liar after it was legally settled that she's not a liar. why can't we have something like that protecting an election?
000
whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
if only elections could defend themselves from defamation and if they (the election) wins then it should be settled and repeated accusations should be cut and dried defamation finding.

whyismark.bsky.social @whyismark.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
it could be about something important because he has no problems pumping out lies about any topic, often it's the same lies, so in such situations, who's are the real idiots...sigh. we're dooooomed

there is nothing to do but sit back and watch how our amazing legal system protects us from frivolous accusations and abuse of power. 😁😁😁

"american conservatism" makes as much sense as "american christianity" i guess next we'll have "american pacifism" which involves wiping out entire countries 😁
