And then there is the Sanctuary City. The concept flies directly in the face of US law. No different than how the Confederate States of America acted against the Union. You cannot support Sanctuary Cities and States and also be for due process and the rule of law at the same time.
Dear God, have someone review your posts before you send them. There is absolutely no parallel between Sanctuary Cities and the Confederate States. It isn't even close to apples and oranges... it's like zebras to mushrooms.
You would expect nothing less from the "Drain the swamp" party than to aggressively target companies who detail pricing to the customer.
If you really want to incent "buying American", wouldn't you want to detail the amount of tariffs that you're paying so the consumer would know the money is staying in the US?
The fact that they say "they're great", and then do everything in their power to hide them should tell you something (for the third of the country wearing red hats who didn't know it already)
He single-handedly reduced GDP by 1% for 2025 while raising prices and creating unlimited uncertainty... all without a clue.
Well... immigration isn't going to be easy... Ask Kurt...immigration has stopped, so will Trump have to ease things with deportations and the border in order to let some of the bad folks create another crisis?
As for tax cuts, he's going to have to explain how we can afford less revenue, and with growth shrinking... only the cult members are going to follow along.
He's done an incredible amount of damage in 3 months. Everyone I talk to is dealing with tariffs, and nobody is happy about it. The real impact is going to start appearing in the Q2 numbers...so far nearly all of the damage is still hiding.
Presently he is counting on the Republican members of congress, who he has tamed en-masse, to push thru the Trillion Dollar Tax cuts for Wealthy folks and corporations. The only thing stopping them from happening is some members to discover the COURAGE to go against his wishes. They no longer work for their constituents, they work explicitly for Trump.
Can't wait for my $1.25 Doge dividend.
re the polls, fear not, the focus will shift back to the border and tax cuts, and the people will once again be all smiles.

Trump has lost an incredible 0.2 points of favorability daily for his first 100 days... down 20.8 points.
This is as much about the stupidity of the electorate as it is his inability to hide any of his autocratic impulses.
The following was part of a daily newsletter I get, which pretty much sums up how Trump has destroyed an incredibly resilient economy with foolish policies and an inability to think beyond his next "truth":
The unpredictability of President Trumpâs stop-start trade offensive is paralyzing companies on just about every front except oneâtaking an ax to costs. The chemical company Dow is delaying construction of a new plant. Boston Scientific, the medical-device maker, is speeding up efforts to cut discretionary spending including travel.
The railroad operator Norfolk Southern, meanwhile, is more closely scrutinizing consultant fees.
Andre Schulten, chief financial officer of Procter & Gamble, said: âWe will have to pull every lever we have in our arsenal to mitigate the impact of tariffs within our cost structure.â
Few companies have announced large-scale layoffs, though they are making some adjustments that workers are starting to notice. Companies are slowing hiring, leaving roles unfilled and scrutinizing spending on consultants and contractors.
As they outlined cost-cutting measures on earnings conference calls in recent days, many chief executives used language that boils down to a corporate version of the Serenity Prayer.
âControl the controllables and try to help mitigate some of the things we canât control,â Norfolk Southern CEO Mark George told investors and analysts as he cited plans to wring savings out of fuel and labor costs, among other areas.
All of those people who said "he's so successful"... don't have a clue how the world, business, and most importantly governments work. DOGE is a perfect example of the stupidity... promise $2T, reality brings that down to $100M, all while delivering chaos and distraction. In any real organization, the entire DOGE team would be fired, and the CEO would be fighting for their job.

Says the one who said and vigourously defended the position that the only way we could secure the border was with new laws, even if they were bad ones. As if the new laws would be enforced by the Biden administration to begin with. You believed that they would when he hardly enforced any laws he didn't like, but you were ok with that.
You wanted to encode into our laws to allow 5000 illegal border crossings per day when the number should have been zero.
We now have a very secure border without any new laws. Something you believed impossible without new ones.
And you also believed that Biden was Mensa material all the way up to the debate with Trump.
So much for your judgment capabilities.
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
'Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!' cries she
With silent lips. 'Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'"
I think we should commission a new statue. One of you flipping the double bird to all incoming boats.
I would be a big, beautiful statue. One of the best statues.
