Not everybody has the good sense to see that Ukraine becoming another NATO member would probally push Putin the brink of launching nukes. .. If you back a dog into the corner, that dog is gonna fight.. Biden’s idea of diplomacy is to demonize the adversaries before trying to negotiate. Not a good plan for success..but that’s how the dems roll.
Biden was negotiating with Russia way before any demonization, and Russia wasn't having any of it. Russia promised they weren't going to invade Ukraine despite all actual intelligence on the matter showed the opposite. Troop formations and international monetary activity showed anybody willing to look that Russia was set on attacking Ukraine. That's why Biden exposed it, and why Russia went ahead with it anyway. The operation was years in the making so it happened. Coincidentally, it would've happened even if Trump won reelection. However, it's also unlikely that Putin will resort to nukes. Firstly, because that would be a huge escalation that even Russia doesn't want. Even if *only* Ukraine was struck by nukes, the NATO countries would rightfully have to respond by taking out all the Russian nuclear delivery systems. Every Russian ICBM-carrying submarine, military installation and strategic bomber (they've only got a few dozen) would be targeted by systems that have been built to fly deep into Russia to take them out. Secondly, Russia's nuclear stockpile is completely unreliable. They've gone decades without the needed maintenance, and even Russia's newest missiles have a 50% failure rate. You think a Russian ICBM still exists that hasn't fallen into disrepair or had its copper wiring stripped to pay for someone's vodka? I don't. |

It’s called negotiations or negotiating , something Biden never had the brain capacity to engage in with other leaders . Instead Biden would bend over and take it you know where. Now we know why with the books coming out about his four years of dillusion and brain drsease..Trump and his supporters know this country is now on the right track to make America the top dog again.. in strength , economy , education and manufacturing. We owned that spot at one time and We can get there again with TRUMP at the helm…
Not likely. Trump has started a trade war. There are no winners in a trade war, and since trump has levied tariffs on *every* other country, it's going to hurt us the most. Our prices will go up, and the other countries will just trade more with each other. The US will lose international influence and China will be ascendant. And seriously, what is Trump trying to accomplish with this trade war. He wants more stuff made in the USA. For what? So we can pay more for the stuff we used to buy from China or South America? He's trying to dismantle the global free market, but factories in China and Vietnam aren't going to just stop making stuff because the US makes the same thing. And US unemployment is already down to about 4%, so who's going to work in those new factories in Trump's dream? In the mean time, the US population will be stuck paying more for the things we buy and the rest of the world will grow animosity toward the US and boycott US-made stuff, as is happening now in Canada and Europe. I hope you're happy. Trump is an imbecile. |

The fact is, Trump never had a choice. The U.S. sits at 125% debt-to-GDP. The higher the GDP ratio, the more of the country’s income goes toward servicing debt. If the United States doesn’t get this under control, even its military will be at risk. What do you mean? Never had a choice? The tariffs are completely crashing US and international markets, and if this was about the national debt, they could simply raise taxes, including on the highest incomes. Back in 1930, congress passed Smoot Hawley Tariff Act to raise revenues, and it caused widespread market turmoil, unemployment and actually lower revenues until it was reversed in 1932. It caused the "Great Depression." Higher marginal tax rates are what we had back in the 1950s and the country and markets were stronger than ever before. Of course the upper class made sure to squash that, since they were paying a top marginal tax rate of over 90%. But now Trump wants the country to "suffer for the country" regardless of how much it costs. Trump has several choices on how to handle things, but he's starting a trade war. It's like the dumbest option. But that's Trump. |

Right before the war began and tensions were very high, I looked up what it was all about.
If that was correct, it is the US that caused this. What I read... Ukraine wants to be part of the west and as such it had to join NATO, whether it wanted that or not. NATO = US basically, forcing other countries to allow their military bases and meddling in the member countries. If Ukraine would join the west and for that had to join NATO America could also have bases on Russia's doorstep and Russia did not want that. Can you blame them? I can't. Quite logical. You don't want your arch enemy that close, within shooting and spying distance. The whole "join the west, MUST join NATO & MUST allow military bases" is what caused this shizzel to occur. If Russia had had a similar thing with Mexico and would then be able to have Russian military bases on America's doorstep we'd have a war as well. America would go ballistic, just like what happened with Russia & Ukraine. They could've sorted it, saved everyone a helluva lot of money and save a lot of lives if a compromise had been made: Allow Ukraine to join the west to trade etc. WITHOUT the military bases. Again, if this info is correct then I totally understand why Russia did what it did. Doesn't mean I agree with this war or what has happened and is happening, but I do agree America should take its finger out of every pie in the world. As it is there aren't even a handful of countries that could take on America if need be. Russia is one of them. The ones that want & try to control the world also reside in the US for a big part, although these days I do suspect also in the EU. That means we cannot have the US be all-powerful. Personally I'm not chuffed about the opposing countries that (can) keep the balance, but without them America would be way too powerful. In any case, based on that info I read, this war could have been prevented if only a compromise was reached. For instance no NATO bases in Ukraine. I believe Russia would have agreed, albeit cautiously. I believe the only reason it escalated is that America refused to even think of backing down from having military bases in Ukraine. This whole "Yes, join the west, it's great!!" thing is just a (American) power scheme to get military bases in as many countries as possible. The ultimatum of "yes you can join, but only if you allow our bases" is sheer manipulation and part of a carefully construed plan. At least Russia is smart enough to see that. The result of that scheme is what has been going on in Ukraine since. NATO member nations are not obligated to allow US bases in their countries. And Russia already had NATO member nations on their border. Why would Ukraine be more hazardous than Turkey, Latvia or Estonia? And since the war started Finland joined NATO, which has more than 1200 km of border with Russia. If your argument was that the US was dead set on basing troops in Ukraine, then what about when Trump even offered to forbid US troops in Ukraine or even allowing Ukraine to join NATO? Russia has never agreed to a ceasefire, or any reasonable arrangement to end the war short of Ukraine's belonging to Russia. No, Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine because he wanted to take over that country. He tells Russia that it's not a valid country and that Ukraine and Ukrainians aren't even a thing. He says they're all Russians, and that "Ukrainians" should be eliminated. That, of course, goes against current and pre-Soviet history, and is not at all what he officially based his invasion on. In fact, for over a year, they couldn't even call it an invasion or even a war, and instead had to call it a "special military operation." But, yeah, you probably could get a different story if you're reading Russia Today or some other pro-Russian news source. |

So you thought the stock market would grow while Trump was cleaning up the incompetence and corruption from the democrats last four years in office. Please use a little common sense in your thoughts. There will be a slight decline in 401ks and other investments but the results of saving Billions or trillions of waste will be good for everybody. You dems would rather see the US go down in flames just to spite Trump. Lol. Grow up democrats . You bunch of sore losers.
No, I knew Trump would be bad for the markets. Just like his first term. Only back then, he seemed to be doing it by tweets, where he'd threaten various economic efforts that hurt one part of the economy or another. Now, Trump's trying to replay the Smoot Hawley tariffs of 1930 to see if he can do it without recreating The Great Depression. We can all see that Trump is a hot mess. He's only in his first few months, but we're already seeing the supply chain chaos that he left us with in 2021, with the egg shortages that he seems to have no intention to work on. Maybe he can bring it full circle in the next few months with the Bird Flu outbreaks and we run out of toilet paper and shelf-stable groceries. And what are these savings you mention? Cutting Social Security? Firing IRS agents doesn't save money. The IRS brings in the most money and cutting staff there actually raises the debt. Not to mention that the Trump/DOGE firings are illegal and are just getting reversed by federal judges, so those workers have to be hired back with back pay, so we got no work from them while they were laid off, but we paid them anyway. This is asinine. I'm sure all the easy cuts were made long ago, but you seem to think we'll save $triillions from the government layoffs. Maybe you can elaborate. |

D Trump has already made more deals than J Biden has made in all his days as a president of US.
Biden administration was a Complete failure for the success of America and its citizens. Yes, Biden spent his entire term in office turning around the mess Trump left him in 2021, with record stock market levels and the lowest unemployment rates anybody's ever seen, and Trump is wrecking the economy within his first 100 days.

Trump's targets for 'reciprocal' tariffs include uninhabited islands but exclude Russia and Iran
abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-targets-reciprocal-tariffs-include-uninhabited-islands-exclude/story?id=120445283 Trump went so crazy with tariffs that he included "reciprocal" tariffs on an uninhabited island. No word on how the penguins there are dealing with these new economic challenges. And interestingly, Trump levied no tariffs on his puppet masters in Russia. |

J Biden did not care about USA or what was happening to destroy this country! Man had no moral character whatsoever!! At least he wasn't openly taking bribes to stop investigations for billionaires. And Trump is selling pardons! It's disgusting. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/28/trump-pardon-bitmex-crypto-exchange-money-laundering.html |

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/trump-california-transgender-parental-notification.html Btw If laws do not want to be followed you can homeschool the children. The law in California is the other way around. It stops school districts from forcing teachers to notify parents when the students still need privacy. Apparently, coming out as trans can be a delicate situation, and some parents don't take it well. I'd imagine that the parent who actually sees the student would have more than a clue as to what's going on. No need to force a teacher to get between them. It's not that big of a deal. Teachers can talk to parents if they like. It's just that the school districts cannot require it. www.politico.com/news/2025/03/27/trump-administration-investigates-californias-forced-outing-law-00253931 More likely, this is just something to distract you from the mess that Trump is making everywhere else. Trump is eliminating the Department of Education and half of the rest of the federal government. They're trying to prove that government doesn't work by breaking it. |

For those that haven’t had their head up their *** , the radical gender benders screwing over our children have been practicing their sick perverted ideas for years. Only the dishonest dems refuse to admit it…Biden and the dems were the ones trying to ruin our economy. Trump is fixing it. It’s a real joy to see you dems losing your minds and destroying your party’s future for upcoming elections.. What "sick perverted ideas?" The part that's bugging me is Trump's lawlessness. He brought in a billionaire consultant, who held no office, but took it upon himself to break into government agency offices and compromise data systems, lacking the requisite security clearances, and had fired the people who were supposed to regulate and investigate such crimes. Musk claimed it was to root out waste fraud and abuse, but just messed things up. What is Trump fixing? |

Back to the original topic. The golden age now upon us thanks to Trump and DOGE. That’s seems to be the opposite w/ dems. Their new rant is Doge is ruining the American dream . Really? In their mind the American dream is to defraud the American taxpayer to pay for immoral and anti American ideals, their dream is to keep illegal immigrants in our country and we can pay to house them while they rape and murder our children and others. Their dream is to keep destroying the education system and keep failing to teach our children . Radical gender choice for elementary children without parental consent or knowledge. These people are sick , twisted and perverted to their miserable souls.. but no worry’s because the Trump agenda is going to get done .. Radical gender choice for elementary children? Do you even know what you mean? Because what it looks like is that you just heard Trump say it and are repeating it here without question. And yeah, Trump doesn't care about ruining the economy if he can pretend to deport more immigrants, legal or not, than Obama or Biden. Watch the Dow Jones and our 401(k)s tumble halfway to zero, but Stephen Miller will sing Donald's praises because they hate brown people. Got it. |

All of Trump's policies popular in Britian. Hah. Good one! Liz Truss probably the least popular British PM, ever. If she knew what is popular in the UK, she might stayed PM longer than seven weeks. |

It is not a 30 day ceasefire but a 30 day ceasefire against attacking energy infrastructure. What is mentioned above is not considered energy. Zelensky has nothing to complain about. He back out of the original 30 day ceasefire. See above. Electrical substations are part of the energy infrastructure, so it is a violation of the cease fire. But, bombing civilian infrastructure and especially hospitals is a war crime, so Russia are just criminals and we shouldn't be surprised, and it's not like Trump is all that against crime. |

I'm surprised anyone still watches/reads it.MSN not a very good news source. MSN isn't the news source. MSN is an aggregator, and the news source for the above article is the New York Post. You can see their icon at the top of the story. But you're right that it's not a good news source. It's a tabloid newspaper bought by Rupert Murdoch and now part of NewsCorp. The story is being reported elsewhere, too, so it checks out. Also the NY Post is a pro-Trump rag, so they didn't report how unpopular the idea is. Some Republicans are very against it, while others are still under Trump's spell and can't disagree with anything he does. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-maga-backlash-commonwealth-king-charles-2049391 |

Russia agrees to halt Ukraine energy attacks for 30 days
https://youtu.be/44stP5-XRFU?si=tHv2QTeLtxwAUh5o Yeah, Russia will probably just stick to bombing and shelling apartment buildings and hospitals, as they do. Yikes. I was being sarcastic, but wound up prescient. Hours After Trump Secures Limited Ceasefire Deal, Russia Attacks Ukraine truthout.org/articles/hours-after-trump-secures-limited-ceasefire-deal-russia-attacks-ukraine/ But shortly after that statement was issued, Russia launched drone attacks against a number of cities in Ukraine. The attacks targeted railways, health facilities and electric infrastructure used by civilians.

I’m betting they lose again because of the same BS message they been repeating the last four years . Trump bad … Why can’t the dems understand the difference between cutting waste and cutting benefits. If you cut the waste their will be more for qualified people. More qualified people on unemployment, you mean? System-wide personnel cuts isn't efficiency. It's just mindless reductions, and they wind up wasting more time and money trying to hire them back. Not to mention all the illegal firings. There are laws protecting federal workers from unwarranted firings, and the Trump Administration and DOGE are breaking laws left and right in the process. It'll probably take years and possibly $billions to sort it all out. Maybe longer, as some of the agencies that oversee that sort of thing are also getting the illegal reductions in force. |

I’m sure Trump saw the writing on the wall about Russia invasion, something that went over Biden’s head, even after he gave them clearance for a small incursion.. The democrats are at a all time low approval rating by their own party,, a embarrassing 27% .. a lost party that may never come back to being a responsible and respected political party
I saw that. Many people are upset that Senate Democrats helped Republicans pass their continuing resolution with all the cuts to veterans' programs. Very disappointing. Of course, Republicans should be ashamed of themselves, but we all know they have no shame. Anyway, polls are just a snapshot and we've got over 18 months to turn things around. It's not like Trump will solve any problems in that time. I'm betting Democrats take the house and Senate in '26. |

Lol. It’s absurd to think the newly announced investments coming our way is of Biden’s doings in 2022.. but you think the war in Ukraine is because of Trump. Talk about backwards thinking.. I’m not worried about S.S or Medicare because Trump will save it by cleaning up the corruption and mismanagement by the democrats over the S.S and Medicare. Not to mention FEMA and most every other government program.
I never said the war in Ukraine is because of Trump. It started back in 2022, and was clearly because of Putin. He'd been planning for years by the time the first units invaded, squirreling away hundreds of billions of euros and dollars into banks around the world, and making plans with his generals. I doubt Trump had any idea of anything. He's an idiot. |
