It's sad how illinformed DXP members are about the world they live in.. but, at least they mastered astrology...

Posted by 37OHSSVPosted by StardustmoppedPosted by 37OHSSVArticle 1: Members agree to the use of peaceful means to settle disputes.Posted by StardustmoppedYou're wrongPosted by CancerOnTheCuspYou’re misrepresenting NATO as bad as Trump does.Posted by StardustmoppedWhen you use the term "nuanced", be sure to include the context of the statement, not what CNN or MSNBC or Joe Biden or Susie Whackjob said what was meant, but from the speaker/writer themself.Posted by CancerOnTheCuspHyperbole and dramatics are my favorite but nevertheless, the perception of the US is more nuanced than what the Head of State has between their legs. How strong our alliances are being one of them. Didn’t Trump say he would let Russia do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO countries?Posted by StardustmoppedWith all due respect, the latter part of your statement doesn't come off sounding any better than people who think the state of the nation is the same as a Sunday afternoon football game.Posted by SoloIt cracks me up when people act like we’re in some dramatic sports drama and we’re picking someone to lead us to victory against the mean old adversaries.Posted by 7sDo you think it's a bunch of men sitting around them and pushing them with their big muscles into the sky?Posted by ArgusWho are you? Do you live in the US? I love and respect women but I think it’s a REEEAALLY bad idea to have one as the leader of the free world. There are men out there with the capability to drop nuclear bombs on us if they see the opportunity.Posted by 7sHahah... jesus...
Having a female president is exactly what our enemies want
Who IS "our" enemy? And should we in fact have legitimate enemies, how did that come about to be?
as for the female president part, i'm not entirely certain what you were trying to imply though I have a pretty decent idea to which I can only say, for all the lecturing of equality we impose upon the rest of the world, US should cease & decist projecting our own inadequacies & for once start practicing what we preach.

Again, I love and respect women but this really is a man’s sport. We both have our strengths. I really don’t want to speak the worse case into existence but I hope I’m wrong.

Like we don’t have an entire cabinet that advises the president. Like Trump is going to stand outside and shield the US from nuclear weapons with his fat dumpy ass. Like having a geriatric unhinged white man is the only thing protecting us from nuclear war.

For instance,the context of that statement was made in reference to NATO members not paying their dues. But I wiil use a CNN article that reports comments Trump made at a rally:
"Trump said “one of the presidents of a big country” at one point asked him whether the US would still defend the country if they were invaded by Russia even if they “don’t pay.”
“No, I would not protect you,” Trump recalled telling that president. “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.” "
Article here: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/10/politics/trump-russia-nato/index.html
I wouldn't be surprised if said country was Germany. Their representatives laughed at him when he warned them about buying natural gas from Russia (that is irony in itself, since Germany is a member of NATO, yet was paying Russia for natural gas), and then a few years later, boom goes Nordstream.
But back to the dues issue. The CNN article makes plain the 2% was not binding, but many members of NATO have not been meeting that target for a long time.
An analogue:
How long would you let a person (we're talking about adults, not children) live with you who has the attitude they don't have to pull their weight, can do whatever they like, even insult you and look down their nose at you, but then expects you to pull their ass out of the fire, especially if they had a hand in starting it? The word for that is "ingrate".

There’s no debt or delinquency involved
There’s no membership fees. They don’t owe us money to be a part of a fancy club.
They are supposed to be investing in their OWN countries military readiness.
So what do we gain by telling the entire world we’re not ready for war?
That was my point. You adding context doesn’t take away or add anything to my point. He’s still undermining the unity of our allies.

You need to read and understand the articles of NATO. You clearly are ignorant on the subject
Even Obama called NATO Freeloaders.

Article 2: Members will attempt to eliminate conflict and encourage economic collaboration.
Article 3: Members will maintain their individual capacity to resist armed attack.
Article 4: Members will consult each other when the territorial integrity, independence, or security of any member is threatened.
Article 5: Members agree that an armed attack on any party is an attack on them all, with each member taking action it deems necessary, including the use of armed force.
Article 6: An armed attack on any member is defined as an attack on the territory, forces, vessels, or aircraft of any member.
Article 7: This treaty does not alter any obligation of members of the United Nations (U.N.).
Article 8: This treaty does not conflict with agreements currently in force between members or a third state.
Article 9: Members will establish a council whereby they can discuss matters concerning the treaty.
Article 10: With unanimous agreement, members may invite any other European state to join the treaty.
Article 11: Ratification of the treaty will follow each party’s respective constitutional process.
Article 12: After 10 years, members may convene to review the treaty, if any of them so requests.
Article 13: After 20 years, any member may cease to be a member one year after giving notice.
Article 14: The English and French versions of the treaty are equally authentic and shall be deposited in the archives of the government of the United States.
And Obama was criticized for undermining alliances when he said it. And largely regarded as a foreign policy failure. Lol.

I've never Voted for Trump, but I do see a different candite in him this time around.
In 2016 I saw someone way to much grace, to the politicians on the right, to gain acceptance favor and power.. (To be clear on my POV I think 95% of the politicians on either side are bought and paid for by the same people.) back to my point, he put a lot of people in positions to satisfy the political elite with the power of his party.
You can say today, that Trump basically owns the Republican party. But trump is not owned by the same people that own everyone else if you are keeping up. And I like who he aligning himself with this time, and the people he is collecting. If you tell me he's gonna put Ramaswamy, Gabbard and Kennedy I positions that can change our future I'm all in. Especially if that paves a path for Ramaswamy or Gabbard to take over when he's done.
Currently my view of America is that it has evolved by design to exploited anything on this planet for the elite, and NATO is just another mechanism to do that. We have a bad system, because incentives the bad things. I want to see big changes.
And I could be totally wrong about Trump, but Kamala was endorsed by Dick Cheney because they answer to the same people.

I haven't wanted to live for a long time lol.
What's wrong with what I'm doing? I'm spending time how I "enjoy" it with what I can do. I own my own home, I'm able to pay my bills with what I'm given, I put the money that I'm given back into the local economy, I don't bother anybody (except for maybe people on DXP with my posting). I have all of the space that I really need right now, there's no need for anything more. There's still things that could be done like fixing up my home and buying a piece of land to put it on, but I have to save for those things/take calculated risks.

He kept majority of promises in his first term. He is a true friend to Israel. 🇮🇱 the best friend in the White House they ever had. He moved the US embassy to the capital of Israel - Jerusalem !!! Promise made, promise kept. He made a promise to get the hostages released .. promise made, promise kept. Those are some examples of the promises he made that he kept. The economy grew at 3.8% in second quarter of 2025. Did you listen or watch the Knesset speech??

1. You're bringing up things that happened in his first term. YOU didn't vote for him in his first term, correct? YOU claimed you just voted for him in 2024 and JUST became a Republican. And OBVIOUSLY we're talking about his second term because that's what the thread was about..
2. The one example you give is the hostage release, which is good, but apparently also could've been done in May 2024 if Netanyahu wanted to? From the little i've read. It seems like he basically declined it due to pressure from his officials, I guess? the lack of some type of "force hamas out" notion and because of the idea of it becoming a transitional state (not as in state or country). Since Trump did bring that notion forward, regardless of if it actually prevails or not, seems like Netanyahu went with it.
3. The economy in the second quarter. The second quarter is cool and all, we'll see how it goes the whole way. You know that tariffs are hurting Americans. You know that Soybean farmers are getting smashed. You know we could be having another 100% tariff on Chinese goods. I'm not a coffee drinker but there are tons of people that are, their prices are up. I don't think the gdp growth is the be all end all.

The freeing of the Israeli hostages was a campaign promise he made and kept of his second (present) term. Peace between Ukraine/Russia is another promise he made, which I am hoping to see! If Netanyahu wanted to? More like if Hamas agreed and kept to its side of things. Netanyahu was only defending Israel and trying to get remaining hostages that Hamas would not release. Netanyahu went with current peace deal because Hamas agreed to its demands. There are talks from Trump about sending out $ 1000- $ 2000 stimulus checks using revenue from the tariffs. Also, talks about eliminating the income tax.click to expand

1. You're bringing up things that happened in his first term. YOU didn't vote for him in his first term, correct? YOU claimed you just voted for him in 2024 and JUST became a Republican. And OBVIOUSLY we're talking about his second term because that's what the thread was about..
2. The one example you give is the hostage release, which is good, but apparently also could've been done in May 2024 if Netanyahu wanted to? From the little i've read. It seems like he basically declined it due to pressure from his officials, I guess? the lack of some type of "force hamas out" notion and because of the idea of it becoming a transitional state (not as in state or country). Since Trump did bring that notion forward, regardless of if it actually prevails or not, seems like Netanyahu went with it.
3. The economy in the second quarter. The second quarter is cool and all, we'll see how it goes the whole way. You know that tariffs are hurting Americans. You know that Soybean farmers are getting smashed. You know we could be having another 100% tariff on Chinese goods. I'm not a coffee drinker but there are tons of people that are, their prices are up. I don't think the gdp growth is the be all end all.
Shrug, not hearing much here.

The freeing of the Israeli hostages was a campaign promise he made and kept of his second (present) term. Peace between Ukraine/Russia is another promise he made, which I am hoping to see! If Netanyahu wanted to? More like if Hamas agreed and kept to its side of things. Netanyahu was only defending Israel and trying to get remaining hostages that Hamas would not release. Netanyahu went with current peace deal because Hamas agreed to its demands. There are talks from Trump about sending out $ 1000- $ 2000 stimulus checks using revenue from the tariffs. Also, talks about eliminating the income tax.

Use money from tariffs to send checks out? Soooo
1. Take extra money from US consumers through tariffs
2. Give money back to citizens through stimulus
3. —??
Individual income tax is quite literally 50% of our governments revenue. Do you think the country, things like infrastructure, healthcare, etc will get better or worse if they have LESS funding?click to expand

I voted for Trump. It was just the common sense thing to do in the last presidential election.
Going to the polls on November 4 to vote locally. There are some judges I am hoping to get rid of.
Can you name some of the common sense? I'd like you to make a list of some of the things that this admin has done that has made the average peoples lives better. Doesn't have to be super extensive

He kept majority of promises in his first term. He is a true friend to Israel. 🇮🇱 the best friend in the White House they ever had. He moved the US embassy to the capital of Israel - Jerusalem !!! Promise made, promise kept. He made a promise to get the hostages released .. promise made, promise kept. Those are some examples of the promises he made that he kept. The economy grew at 3.8% in second quarter of 2025. Did you listen or watch the Knesset speech??

There is no reason why the working class should cover 93% of taxes through the income tax. We discussed this before and I think it started out only at 3% and now it ranges up to 37% . It also started out as a temporary tax.

Just not living in reality.

In fiscal year (FY) 2025, the largest source of federal revenue was Individual Income Taxes (50.7% of total revenue).
It's not 93% , one. Two, that's not answering my question.click to expand

Then it sounds like you'd agree with higher taxes on wealthier individuals.. cutting income tax from lesser people altogether will still have an overall negative outcome unless you push more of the burden onto wealthier individuals or higher corporate taxes. That's not what he did with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act though. You might say "yeah but he also lowered regular peoples taxes!!" which, true on income tax, i suppose. But if you need to spend money on necessities, where is that money going back to? The businesses and people that own them (the wealthy, speaking about big box business rn more so than small business). And they already have money. Tons of it. Tons of assets to swap, collateralize, sell for money if they need it.
If the taxes aren't made up, everything will get worse. Quality of life will worsen. It's just a fact. If no one paid taxes then we'd have no real infrastructure, we likely wouldn't be on the net being able to talk about it, etc etc etc. Also will continue to rack up crazy debt because how the hell would we be paying it off if we don't gather anything to invest with or make services to sell etc.

The wealthy already pay over 30 percent, easily, in income taxes. They’re paying 37% of their income in taxes. Yes, I am in agreement that they should be paying more in taxes as they are able to afford it, but we should all not be taxed to death. I’m thinking that Trump has the right idea in mind to fund the government with tariffs and doing away with the income taxes for those who make under $ 150k a year. I do not think the wealthy or corporations should have increased income taxes burdens to offset it. If corporations have increased tax burdens, the idea behind that is that they won’t hire as many workers at competitive wages. Hope this answers your question!
