Obama and Boehner (divided govt) in 2015 recently had a budget deficit of 2.4%, GW Bush had 1.7% in 2007.

It’s extremely helpful. It tells us that the Trump tax cuts in 2017 blew a hole in the budget and COVID accelerated that process. Later while recovering from the pandemic the deficit was reduced. Never fear Trump is here to blow another hole or six in it.

2019 deficit: -4.6%
2020 (COVID) -14%
2021. (Covid) -12%
2022 Biden -5.4%
2023 Biden -6.2%
2024 Biden -6.4%

Biden took all of the economic growth that Trump gifted him by unleashing 2017 TCJA and , added trillions in leftist spending, squandered it.

He basically put on a fresh set of Depends, said to Kamala “Hold my Ensure”, and proceeded to emulate Jimmy Carter with 1979 level misery and presidential approval poll levels

The FBI agents Trump was trying to out for going after him and his supporters in the January 6th case have sued over it.

Meanwhile White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro claims Trump will structurally shift the American economy with his tariffs.

Trump will attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Meanwhile… The Trump Administration is preparing to place nearly all of USAID’s Washington based staff on leave.

Both Gabbard and Kennedy’s nominations have cleared their respective committees and will go to the full senate for a vote.

He's probably hustling a few jobs in NYC. Has anyone asked what happens when we export all the people doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do?

I don’t see any employment history described in the story other than influencer and freeloader who squats illegally in US homes and encourages other illegals to come do the same.

The mugshot of a “migrant influencer” on the lam in the US after fleeing immigration officials has surfaced for the first time — as the freeloading Venezuelan took to social media again to mock American taxpayers for working like slaves.

Leonel Moreno, who has made a name for himself on TikTok by encouraging others to invade the US and squat at the homes of citizens, skipped out on ICE authorities soon after crossing the southern border into Texas illegally in 2022.

The Venezuelan national was originally enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program and was cut loose on parole due to a lack of space in detention facilities.



Maybe his employer, whomever it may be, will show up and vouch for him.

I don't need any manual labor positions. Here's an idea, for fun you should call ICE and report the domestic help in Palm Beach as illegals. I am confident that it would cause a panic for the MAGA crowd in Florida.

As for me, I'm more worried about your buddies... Didn't Trump just pardon some of these guys?

Released today...
White supremacist extremists will remain the deadliest domestic terror threat to the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s first annual homeland threat assessment, which details a range of threats from election interference to unprecedented storms.

Since 2018, White supremacists have conducted more lethal attacks in the US than any other domestic extremist movement, demonstrating a “longstanding intent” to target racial and religious minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, politicians and those they believe promote multi-culturalism and globalization, according to the report.

“As Secretary, I am concerned about any form of violent extremism,” wrote acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. “However, I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”

I have no problem with ICE going to Palm Beach for a visit. Have at it. First however Prioritize the criminal element, the killers, public safety and deporting bad actors such as MS-13 gang members, etc. which is the current strategy.

Seems they’re going to take a stop in NJ first to charge NJ Gov with violating the immigrations laws.

This guy backtracked pretty quick after bragging about harboring an illegal and taunting Tom Holman.

Tom Holman received a career service award from Obama for doing an amazing job masterminding the deportation process under Obama’s two terms as ‘deported in chief’. (NY Times gave Obama that name, by the way).

An amazing hire on Trumps part.

here’s a question on the horrible 2017 TCJA “trump tax cuts”

Joe Biden and Dems had majority for two years.
TCJA was passed under a budget reconciliation bill, which cannot be filibustered for more than 20hrs under senate rules.

So then why didn’t Biden and Dems re-set the tax brackets to those during Obamas term, if the Trump TCJA was predicted to be so disastrous?

They could have cancelled TCJA in the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Or cancelled it in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Since The Dems, during their 2 year reign of majority rule, did not end the TCJA, I’d say they were happy to leave it as is.

Therefore they own the “Trump tax cuts for the wealthy”,
