For those in the U.S., how do you feel about food stampes (SNAP?)

Yes he bailed out Argentina with $20 Billion

MAGA (Make Argentina Great Again)

Actually another 20 Billion so 40 Billion total

The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina through a mix of financing from sovereign funds and the private sector.

That would come on top of the $20 billion credit swap line that the U.S. Treasury pledged to Argentine President Javier Milei and his government this month to bolster the South American nation’s collapsing currency.

Argentina has defaulted on its debt 9 times.

Exactly. How bout make sure Americans don't stare before helping other countries that could care less about us and laugh at us when we're down?

What’s the real story here? I truly don’t care either way, but MAGA people say it’s privately funded and leftcucks are very adamant that it’s costing the American taxpayer a boatload of money.

Of course they'll say that, because these are "private" donors. If something nefarious was going on its not hard to follow the money if it was coming from government funds.

It’s basically a “donate to gain political favour” vanity project.

[ToTheNines]

I mean, that’s the crux of American politics lol.

Obviously there are more altruistic things one could spend money on, but there’s way more nefarious sh*t going on in the world than Trump wanting to feel like a pretty princess. Seems like this is just the “current thing” to be outraged about and no one will remember it next year.

Are you kidding? People haven't forgotten about the wall, Stormy Daniels, him raping the girl at the beauty pageant (allegedly I guess?), the whole 'grab em by the pussy' line, the Proud Boys are 'such fine folks', J6. No one is forgetting none of that. Epecially if SNAP does go away. People will always look back and say he cared more about donating billions to Argentina and his dumbass ballroom than helping starving Americans.

He's just adding to the list. Just like his current denial of the Epstein list.

The problem is that people's morals have deteriorated to a level on which this kind of stuff doesn't matter to them. The agenda is more important.

That's a good thing.

Stormy Daniels

Oh god, nobody cares about that, if it happened at all. They've been trotting that out forever and it's the most ridiculous thing ever.

him raping the girl at the beauty pageant (allegedly I guess?)

Yes, yes, where the lady doesn't remember when it happened or even specifically what store (and who seems visibly insane in every media appearance). I'm sure that wasn't lawfare at all!

the whole 'grab em by the pussy' line

A great big nothing! He wasn't in politics when he said that and I'm sure nobody you know has ever said anything equally terrible at one point or another.

the Proud Boys are 'such fine folks'

FAKE. He said there's SOME fine people on the side of the protesters in Charlottesville. He wasn't saying those were the Proud Boys or anyone specific.

J6

For which he told everyone to remain peaceful and then to go home. Oh wow, so terrible! Clearly that was instructing an insurrection.

No one is forgetting none of that.

Oh, the propaganda wing of the left (AKA the media) is making sure of that. Probably some more J6 documentaries and such are coming up, no doubt. But it only is managing to wind up their existing base who crave more and more of that lunacy. I don't think they're managing to fool or really rope in anyone new, but I've been surprised before.

I mean, we know how much you love typing this over and over but let‘s be real here for a second: There has never been any positive coverage on Trump by reputable news outlets, conservative or left-leaning. At least not until the Gaza ceasefire deal. Actual journalists (not the scantily clad social media pundits some of you guys love) worldwide have been tearing Trump apart for more than a decade now. And with good reason.

[ToTheNines]

Come on y’all. Watch this video and tell me you didn’t laugh. Be honest.

Partially. I think more than anything, it’s the ultimate failure of our two-party system.

Not only do people turn a blind eye to their sides wrongdoing, they absolutely relish every instance of the other side being angry at something. No matter how trivial or idiotic it is.

And now that the Gaza Ceasefire is over in all but name, he doesn't even deserve positive coverage for that.

Trump was funny for the memes and he was a tool to defeat the establishment. But he has long outlived his usefulness.

You mean like the ones from MSDNC? Totally un-biased journalists?

He brokered the deal. Why is it a reflection on him if Hamas can't help themselves but keep shooting at Jews in spite of it?

Trump says the Ceasefire is still in place and that Hamas leadership was not involved in any breaches. Don't you dare contradict your lord Trump and suggest the ceasefire has been broken.

EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND THERE IS PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Don't forget that Trump said his half-assed ceasefire deal could mean 'eternal peace'.

I don't consider any American TV news outlets respectable news sources. Anything where clowns like Chris Matthews run their mouths is an immediate no-go.

OK. Fine. What are the names of some of the honest-to-goodness, totally objective and non-partisan journalists you're thinking of when you say "actual journalists"?

[ToTheNines]

All the good ones got killed by the CIA.

I was in the grocery store today and ahead of me at the cash register was a black mother in her 40's (?) and her two young sons. She was talking to the cashier how her food stamps are gone and how her kids have to drink tap water. Her kids asked her for cookies and some fruit snacks and she said no because now they have to pay real money for good.

She was like, "Why the hell they gotta stop the food stamps? How am I gonna feed myself, my dog, and my two sons? My minimum wage job ain't going to cover it."

I guess people are already starting to hurt. Man all those lower income black and hispanic families will be screwed over the most.
