Ah the old divide and conquer rule? Let's light the blue touch paper and set those people, against that set of people? We will let them argue it out and then our problems will be solved, as they'll never unite fully against the real enemy? The Politicians and the Government! It doesn't matter what party is in Government in the States, they'll all make a mess of it, as that's their plan? The downfall of the American nation. This plan is in action throughout the Countries in Europe also, where the Governments and Politicians, aren't listening to the people anymore. Well, except in Poland and Hungary, but that's the exception. Every country seems to be in a race to destroy itself, it's economy and it's heritage also. You have to ask yourself 'Why, is that the case?" :thinking::thinking:🤷 Put your differences aside for a moment and have a debate about your country, without the influence of your political beliefs taking over your conversation? Let's see if any of you can actually do that?



Easier said than done. The social landscape of America is not the same as it was 10+ years ago when folks would disagree on political issues and still remain the best of friends at the end of the day. If you and I are not on the same page politically we are now enemies with even family members actually rejecting each other!It takes those who can see the bigger picture that's it all part of a greater agenda to destroy the social fabric of the West. The West is dying and geopolitical power is shifting to the East.

It’s hard to have a debate about Americas problems or policies when one of two sides have nothing to debate about except Trump is evil , Trump is a nazi, Trump is destroying our republic. Dems need ideas for our country if they want a debate. Trump hating is not a plan for our country’s growth..

Are you sure you live in the US ? Because you post things that are completely false. Investments means revenue in the future because of textile mills coming back to the south. Computer chips in Cali. Three new jet production here in NC alone.. america is on its way back to the most prosperous place in the world thanks to President Trump.. No one actually believes the constant lies coming from your one group..


Do you honestly think that industrial facilities setup this year were caused by Trump? Those things take years to arrange. We're only just starting seeing the fruits of Biden's IRA. Trump, meanwhile, is destroying investor confidence by reneging diplomatic arrangements with our best trading partners. I'll say it again: That "investment" Trump claimed are exaggerated, not legally obligated and much of that was already going to happen, or was negotiated under Biden.

And a nit-pick: Computer chips mostly don't come from California. I used to work for Intel, and it's a highly automated process, taking a lot of space. California land & power is expensive, so most of that moved to places like New Mexico, decades ago. Even Biden's CHIPS Act is paying for newer fabs in Ohio & Texas. Nobody really makes chips in California, outside the R&D plants.

Neat, but tariffs are paid, not by the exporting country, but by the importing party, which when it's a merchant, it just gets passed on to the customers. So it's like a new sales tax, even on things that can't be made in the US, like coffee and consumer electronics. And it raises anti-US sentiment internationally. Trump is an imbecile.

It's tax revenue, and it still doesn't outdo the tax cuts he gave to his billionaire friends, while the tariffs kill the US industrial sector.

Of course, Trump is in denial, but everyone can see that the tariffs are hurting the country.


Fed's Powell issues new Trump tariffs warning

www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/feds-powell-issues-new-trump-tariffs-warning/ar-AA1L2bJN?ocid=BingNewsVerp
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that President Donald Trump's tariffs are pushing consumer prices higher and would continue to do so over the coming months.

Powell gave the warning in his annual Jackson Hole speech on Friday, though markets took the overall message of his address as a signal that the central bank would cut interest rates at the next opportunity in September.

According to the Labor Department data, the average retail price per pound of 100 percent ground roast coffee has now risen to $8.87, up from $7.02 in January.


Trump did this. He's an imbecile and needs to be impeached.

I think its foolish to have to playing with tariffs. At this point the world laughs and has found new trade partners and our economy is tanking. Bad idea all around . I hope we get him out of office and can reverse this

Prices are definitely not down. And even with the Trump Administration silencing the federal agencies reporting on consumer prices and employment, the numbers still get out and we can all see prices at the gas pump and in grocery stores. Prices are definitely higher.

Inflation climbs in August as grocery and gas prices jump
www.npr.org/2025/09/11/nx-s1-5537074/inflation-economy-grocery-gas-federal-reserve
Consumers also saw higher prices for new and used cars, clothing and airfares in August. Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, "core" inflation was 3.1% for the last 12 months.

More evidence that Trump's tariffs are stupid (as if we needed anymore):

Manufacturers Say Trump Has Made Opening U.S. Factories Impossible
newrepublic.com/post/195070/donald-trump-tariffs-manufacturers-opening-factories
That’s because the supply chain to produce those goods in the United States simply isn’t there, requiring companies to import raw materials and factory equipment—which Trump’s tariffs have made unaffordable—from abroad.

And Trump’s unpredictable approach to announcing and enacting or even retracting his tariffs has added confusion and significant volatility to the market, making businesses less likely to invest in large, long-term projects such as factory development.


And when Hyundai tried to start up a factory in the US, Trump's ICE swooped in and arrested all the South Korean advisers and trainers. Completely stopping all the progress toward thousands of US jobs. Trump isn't always at fault, but he hired these idiots for his cabinet. He should be impeached, or replaced, per the 25th Amendment.

So now the dems have opened the door to impeach a president because their little cup of cappachino cost more. Try this . Make Your Own Coffee at home..and let the president be president.. give up your fantasy of removing him.
