I will no longer be posting in the political section here; I feel that any further statements may be predated upon by a corrupt and zealous judiciary.

this is so funny. why is everyone so quiet? the guy you voted for is busy making your country look like a national embarassment on the world stage and firing all your research scientists and national park rangers.

where did you go?

These mass federal layoffs look like it they're about to crash the real estate market in DC, which will likely radiate across the country. I can already see the real estate prices here in Sacramento dropping. The owner of my house, who is a well-connected connected lawyer wants to sell this house, despite telling my wife and I he was "never going to sell it" a year ago. Seems like this country is deteriorating at a more rapid rate than anyone expected.

I like how they're playing this "state's rights" game where the states only get federal support if the states do what the federal government wants them to do. Such childish bullshit.

And the anti-DEI anti-science bury-your-head-in-the-sand agenda really shows how they give absolutely zero fucks about the working class. All hail the oligarchy! This is what the Trumpers wanted!

ngl the real estate market crashing would be a huge boon for a lot of people. Lower property taxes, easier to buy housing.

Dude the tariffs are so fucking stupid.

Anyone with a basic understanding of economics will know tariffs will simply lead to higher end user prices.

Fair point I had not considered.

I would like to see the housing market take a nose dive. I got a co-worker who got their taxes, they saw a over 175K increase in estimated value. Their taxes are going up quite a bit.

I would like to see wages go up and the job market stabilize. All this firing of gov employees to reduce spending is asinine. How about we reduce the military budget? How about that repot rand paul puts out with all the weird stuff the gov spends money on? How about getting rid of ear marks? Ya know the stuff that does not affece the average person's 9-5.

all of a sudden conservatives don't care about the stock market. how's that retirement fund doing? we're winning so hard guys, we've never won this hard before, you can't believe how much winning is happening right now, we're winning SO HARD it almost looks like we're losing, but NO we're actually WINNING.

my conservative friends have been so awfully silent it's hilarious. including in this thread. LOL

im tired of seeing dumps posted in shitty areas for 3-400k

let's do a 25% tariff on the price of imported cars and parts. you GENIUS - this will truly bring the entire supply chain back to the united states! luckily, we have so many domestic cars (Ford, Chevy etc) where the whole supply chain is in the US and the aluminum/steel/plastics/screens that go into those cars are also made here. oh wait sorry i just lied.

you're all about to get the exact import prices you voted for and i LOVE that not a single person is in here defending his decisions the way you did before the election.

You forgot all the rare earth minerals necessary to make the chips and electronics.
We're gonna have to find a "partner" to extort for those as well

dude my taxes went from 1200 to fucking 3700. I bought my house for 120K and its now supposedly worth 330k per my county.

thermogod - no one wants to talk with you because of your dogmatic approach to every topic discussed here.

The proof is in the last two pages: this is literally not a discussion anymore and maybe it never was. It's a way for you guys to feel smart while stroking your own ego on how 'informed' you think you are.

The absence of responses should make you consider why you are talking to no one on the other side, yet you simply choose to take it as a victory. Of course no one is talking to you because everything you say is correct, right? Of course everyone is avoiding you because (it's been 2 months) and everything came true, right? lol give me a fucking break!

If there's any victory here, it's a pyrrhic one for you.

I'd love to continue the discussion and weigh in as:

- Someone who lives in Japan and has to bring his cars/parts back eventually.
- A Federal Government Employee
- A Veteran getting VA Benefits

...but the fact of the matter is that you'd end up fucking preaching to me about shit I have firsthand experience with while you get your 'facts' from the news lol. You'd literally try to tell me you know better. I'd put good money on it.
