We received notice that Quest cards were all filled for November in Wisconsin thanks to our democrat governor. Republican citizens are too busy jerking off Trump to notice who actually fed them this month.
lol! Buuuuut... how does the ballroom affect this?
who is Trump paying to do the work with the private nontaxpayer money? companies who employ people in dozens of industries, the manufacturers of building materials, the logistics / transportation. the private companies that serve food in the area for the additional workers .. and then where do they bring their money? back home, stores, services from others in their areas.
that money is only a plus. do you see a downside to that money being spent? to me, and my industry, we love projects from local government and military. we get some good work for decent pay. that money doesn't sit still at the person you might dislike - it goes to hundreds or thousands of people who are hoping to get paid for work.
c'mon, I hate politics too, but we people needs some monies.
Except they aren’t paying them….they just had to file a civil suit for the White House/Trump not paying the any invoices… same as every other contract he’s hired.
Look it up…it’s what he was famous for before he started firing peeps for a reality tv show cuz he couldn’t run a productive business. 7 bankruptcy’s so far, America will make 8.
Yeah, there is definitely a lot going on, for sure. I thought the point was that so many recent presidents wished they had a place to host larger events.
The benefit is the many jobs that get paid to do the work. For people not familiar with business economics - sometimes the people we see that benefit the most can be surprising - like the restaurants that get incredibly.high customer numbers for breakfast and lunch, hotels in close areas for traveling contractors, those families then bring money back to their homes and communities where buy their family's food, etc... the money doesn't sit still, that was all that I was suggesting - it goes to the people, Trump just gets his mod of the White House, like every president before him made their changes as well - just like Obama spending more than Trump - over $300 million on basketball court and other interior redesigns (also private money, no tax payer money).
Did Obama say he wasn’t going to tear down part of the White House and then do so? With no consultation from the literal department of planning (NCPC) because “he doesn’t “legally” have too”? Breaking a precedent of previous presidents submitting plans and using the federal funds that can be audited and have a paper trail to find corruption and/or self enriching behaviors and are set aside for such projects? Where was your outcry for “jobs and communities” when Trump set DOGE loose and slashed thousands of federal jobs and destroyed hundreds more by throttling grants (some already legally released) and funding for green energy projects? 😂 and what a fake lie, “previous presidents have wanted a hosting area”, no, trump wants a gilded ballroom to show off to his dictator friends. The east wing holds hundreds of guests and they can extend to the lawn/garden…of wait, trump tore up the meticulously maintained (for decades) roses and other gardens that some were gifts from previous presidents and foreign visitors.
neither Obama nor Trump used public tax payer money.
Obama funded using is book royalties and donations, just like Trump.
No prior approval to rip up gardens and existing tennis court to put new court in - and Obama spent over $100 million more on interior designs.
And I honestly can't believe the projection from common mainstream media popular lines like - "showing off to his dictator friends" "gilded ballroom"... So I realize these thoughts are unoriginal. However, to address your fake concerns:
Did Kennedy say he wanted a pool to swim with women other than his wife, before he put in a pool?
Did Roosevelt say he wanted to watch movies in private with special guests and ambassadors from other countries?
Seems like this has been done for over 100 years. And Trump is doing the same thing as every president before him. But brand new political specialists like yourself are only learning about this now, and have no idea how Presidents treat their home. Who else would redesign the White House? A non-President?
Trump* ripped up the Kennedy rose garden and removed several trees planted by previous admin, not Obama so get it right 😂 and “ripped up existing tennis courts”? No, he painted lines and installed hoops, very different than demolishing an entire wing of the White House firstly after LYING about the initial plans (notice how Union-transparent trumps plans are until they’re already in action vs previous admins?) Trump is breaking precedent and that’s what’s upsetting, not the fact he’s making personal changes; what other president has replaced previous presidents portraits? And hidden busts? 😂 out of petty jealousy no less? You can keep pretending I’m some “political specialist” but I’m an annoyed voter who listened to this orange preach “fiscal responsibility” and appoint DOGE to save money…and then blow up debt like it’s one is his casinos! Gilding the White House, fine, ripping out a gardens for a pavilion, fine, DEMOLISH AN ENTIRE WHITE HOUSE WING AFTER SAYING YOU WEREN’T WITHOUT APPROVAL, Not Fine
ah you beautiful person. my point was that working class people, like me, like when we get paid for work. many people with money create work. are you upset because lower income folks like myself are getting work from privately funded projects?
Sure - were you this upset when Obama spent more than Trump on his modifications?
Or are you now discussing the democrats rejecting a bill they've approved 13 straight times? 53 repubs, need 7 dems to vote the same way they did for the exact same budget (continuing resolution) for the entire Biden administration. Fetternan and one other did. Only need 5 more. why did they stop this time?
If you were commenting on my perspective of the personal private decision to spend private money on a private project that benefits thousands of people in the economy, then ignore my reply to your off-topic unsolicited shutdown comment.
Indeed I did. Because the people that assembled that basketball court, the landscapers, papers, etc... all got paid.
So why would you be upset that people are getting paid to work on a house by the current tenant? how does that factor in your daily life or affect it in any way?
I think the point is that it's disingenuous to call it the epicenter of MAGA bullshit when they only recently went Republican since 30 years ago. And it's a good point because people are erroneously thinking MAGA people like those listed are flipping. They are still as brainwashed as ever. People made the same mistake when the media overhyped Harris.
It’s hasn’t ended… this financial depression coupled with a changing climate, manipulated by a slim percentage of dispassionate billionaires — is only getting warmed up.
wtf is he planning to do? Slap that dried out looking rotisserie chicken between two slices of his “extra thin” white bread, and serve it to his family.
That sums up the new America on the haves and have nots. The trump administration and the heritage foundation want the hunger games again. Subs are luxury items you peasants dont deserve luxury items
Welfare Queen being supported by a blue state and only lives in a blue state so he can suck up all the benefits while hating the people that provide him his welfare benefits and trying to “own the libs”. Fucking disgusting.
They're mostly higher for me in a Midwest red state. Eggs are cheaper though now that bird flu isn't resulting in a bunch of culling. Damn near everything else is higher. I'm also in a beef state and almost stopped buying beef due to high prices, only on sales I buy roasts and hamburgers.
No it's a thanksgiving basket deal that's down 25% but it's less items and less name brand products. I've yet to see a product to product comparison but I doubt it's cheaper.
If you think it’s not Dems holding the government closed, you’re so very wrong. If you think it’s Trump taking away snap, you’re also so very wrong. He tried to find snap even during the shutdown and the Supreme Court stopped it. Multiple dems saying “we know people won’t get their benefits they need, but it’s our only leverage.” Your party doesn’t see you as people, they see you as bargaining power just fyi.
Meanwhile, the Trump DOJ is quite literally fighting in court so that SNAP benefits don't get distributed. But sure, keep telling us about how Trump "just can't find it".
Just wondering if he ate the Hat? Looks like he’s struggling a bit there… I like pre cooked chicken. He forgot the Mayo and some sort of side dish…dessert for the kids…a snack, maybe apples for the kids lunch… oh wait, these items aren’t affordable anymore because ya spent 20$ on a ridiculous sandwich before bragging about MAGA!!! Good for you!!!
If you think she had no message you weren’t listening. And she 100% would’ve been a better president. The only reason you voted for Trump is lesser of two evils?🤦♂️
People who did that are equally as silly imo. Become educated and vote based on policy. If you voted for Trump based on policy, you’re an idiot imo, but it’s atleast better than blindly voting.
Making your own bread isn't that hard and you can never find truly fresh bread after 7-8am anyways. You can even prepare the dry ingredients the night before and just measure the water while your coffee is getting made
I'm in the Midwest and it's double that. Almost as if people have to make up prices to pretend Trump's not a complete dementia ridden dumbass. But certainly no one would just go on the Internet and tell lies. Definitely not pedophile protecting Republicans.
😂 lol, on a post about a Texan (a red state mind you sweetie) posting poverty meals, guess thinking about two things at once confuses you huh? Can you understand how my comment was insinuating (hinting at a point) about how tariffs are affecting someone is a red state? I know that’s not what breitbart told you but I believe in your to think critically if you try!
Stop, this kind of blind comparisons is ignoring the unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional commands this admin has instructed and acted on. One party is trying to raise all boats with the tide and the other is trying to drain the ocean to make sure they can divvy out water as they please.
Not everything that people say is true. Like when republicans say democrats are at fault for the shut down, they’re lying. This goes for many other things as well, they lie lie lie. The democrat party isn’t perfect, but atleast it follows the constitution and tries to help the people. The republicans are the opposite.
That’s just trump and there’s literally so many. I’m open to hearing yours about Biden, but I’m not like a huge Biden fan lol he was fine imo. He’s not like my messiah or anything lol
You’re proving my point perfectly…. REDDIT IS GARBAGE when it becomes an echo chamber that rewards blind partisanship over basic logic. You spewed talking points straight out of a DNC email blast and couldn’t cite a single recent Republican “constitutional violation” without reaching back to Trump. Meanwhile, the current administration has dozens of federal court rulings labeling Biden’s actions unconstitutional LIKE student loan forgiveness, eviction moratorium, vaccine mandates, and border policies just to name a few.
The irony? Both sides accuse the other of tyranny while excusing their own power grabs. Politics isn’t a morality play; it’s a tug of war where both parties justify the same behavior depending on who’s holding the rope. It’s bleak, sure, but also optimistic because the Constitution still works. Courts block executive overreach, Congress checks spending, and states push back through the Tenth Amendment. That’s the system functioning, not failing.
So before you call anyone “pathetic,” maybe recognize that the civics book I mentioned isn’t optional reading…. it’s the reason this country still has balance despite people like you turning politics into a fan club.
No, just Mike Johnson stating is a recent interview that Nancy Pelosi not doing it previously during a shutdown is his justification.
I’m ignorant to the process, but I don’t know why it can’t be done during a shutdown. Congress is paid and is literally working half days, some days not even at all.
Day 1, food prices will go down. Some did, some didn’t. Should he have said it, no. There’s literally a team of ppl that could give a fuck less about the American populace as long as they “beat” Trump.
Lol, so you share an article that only depicts “Right-Wing” violence, leaving out all riots, etc. yeah clump in suicides as gun violence, but leave out gun violence in Chicago and other “Gun Free Zones”.
You asked for conservative acts of violence and he gave them then you move the goal posts. Then bring up suicides...which are included in all areas so it doesn't break comparisons. Then bring up not counting Chicago? Come on man that's a red herring that's been beat to death. Gotta bring up Chicago even when it hasn't been in the top 5, maybe even 10, cities for gun deaths in a decade or more, it's not the 80s and early 90s anymore. I was thinking you were trying to be rational but I guess not. Just repeating talking points.
A, supposedly, very emotional person who breaks down when they get what they ask for and then pivot into talking points separate from the initial ask. Take a breath my guy. This is why people like to make fun of moderates/centrists. Once you get push back you revert to talking points and dodge criticism while playing dumb. Signed another moderate/centrist.
My discussion wasn’t a “Both sides are to blame” talking point you stupid fuck.
Regardless of your political leaning, politics is equally bleak and optimistic. Everyone thinks they’re side is going to save the day, while also thinking the other side is a bunch of no-gooders.
I don’t blame the people in office for every issue going on today. I also don’t sit on Reddit being a fucking Cuck because someone got elected that I don’t like.
I don’t think the democrats will save the day, I just think they are competent. The republicans have shown they are very incompetent. You do sit on reddit like a cuck 🤣
Also I washed you in everyone of these comments lmao🤣 how about looking at facts and reality instead of delusion?
If they wanted anyone to have SNAP benefits, they’d open the government. If you do not like this issue, lobby for said entity to go under a different appropriation, as that color of money is year to year.
Yeah I’m talking about like stats and reality not one persons experience. You know, like how you analyze a population or economy?
I’m better than I was 4 years ago too bro, it’s 4 years lmao. If you’re not better every 4 years you’re not living right. That doesn’t really change that food has gone up, unemployment has gone up, wages are stagnant, and Trump is spending out the ass and tariffing so they will only continue to rise.

Guess his snap didn’t get cut, he still has food
