Sorry Joe, Musk is no "American Hero" and more importantly, Senate Democrats repeatedly attempted to pass legislation to pay TSA agents and other specific Department of Homeland Security (DHS) staff during the partial government shutdown, while continuing to negotiate over broader funding, but they were blocked by Republicans.

Yeah, blocked by Democrats.

Now, Trump has a new threat for Democrats... fund DHS or he's going to send in ICE to serve as TSA agents. Either Musk paying them or sending in ICE will not end the shutdown. Trump is a moron.

Ya, all of a sudden we are concerned about funding the military in Iran. Saving our grandkids from Iranian nukes might be a little more important than a temporary gas spike. And of course it was ok when Obama was funding Iran's military which helped put us in this position. And how can we forget the brilliance of propping up that little Napoleon in Ukraine.

Was there an "imminent threat" that Trump kept blabbering about? Not according to Tulsi Gabbard who testified under oath that the nukes were "obliterated" and that there was nothing that indicated they were working on replacements. Of course, despite those revelations, she could not bring herself to say the words, "there was no imminent threat" --instead saying, "Donald Trump is the only one that can determine if there is an imminent threat." Total Bullshit. She is the Director of National Intelligence!!

Trump promised "no new wars" repeatedly on at least 50 campaign stops.

Joe, when talking about Trump's numerous faults and failures, no one cares what Obama did or didn't do. It's what MAGA reaches for anytime Trump is called out on anything.

I do believe, but can't prove it, that this new war is cracking some of the MAGA loyalty.

Schumer thought he could weaponize a funding inmpasse.

Posted by Joe Smith User icon on March 21, 2026, 10:30 pm, in reply to "Re: As the Democrat shutdown drags on"

Remember when Obama helped tens of thousands of hurricane victims with free internet?? Or maybe that was Musk.

And remember when Biden rescued stranded astronauts and NASA? Damn, that may have been Musk too.

Trump is telling Democrats to choose either funding DHS and keep their own voters happy or watch ICE take over airports and start mass arrests. No more hiding behind shutdown threats, at least for now. But as always, you can never underestimate these human roaches. I'm sure some Hack Democrat judge will try to block Musk, because thats what these people do.

The MAGA Obsession With Obama vs. Trump

Posted by Soccer User icon on March 21, 2026, 11:50 pm, in reply to "Schumer thought he could weaponize a funding inmpasse."

On the passing of Robert Mueller, Obama posted:

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

While Trump posted:

"Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"

I can't say I am glad he is dead, but he didn't try to destroy my presidency either. Mueller had nothing, and it took him forever to show he had nothing. But I am sure he got paid, not that he didn't enjoy his role.

Its funny how Democrat hacks can say that anyone is obsessed, since they have given new meaning to the word. Soon these same tools will be claiming, as bad as the Nazi Trump is, that Vance is even worse. You can already see a smattering of it.

When little known Charlie Kirk was killed. Trump wanted to fire anyone who posted about him and his mostly racist views. He made the statement that no one on the Right would ever celebrate someones death.

Then when much admired and respected (by both parties) Robert Muller passes he celebrates..

Muller had a lot on Russia's interference in Trump's first election but believed it was up to Congress to impeach Trump and Trump wants revenge on anyone who ever investigates him...

Trump believes he is above the law..

Posted by Soccer User icon on March 22, 2026, 4:28 pm, in reply to "Re: The MAGA Obsession With Obama vs. Trump"

If anyone is destroying Trump's presidency, it is himself. In his own words, broken promises, blatant hatred toward anyone who is not absolutely loyal to him. He is a champ at manipulating people through intimidation and there a very few Republican politicians who have no spine. They not only agree with everything he says and does, they must verbally praise him ad nauseam anytime they post something on social media or appear on a news/entertainment show. It's sickening. Lindsay Graham is one of the worst, he lives to please Trump.

You don't hear much from MAGA anymore about how the Left is listening to "mainstream media" who "spins everything against Trump". That's even more of a joke than it's ever been because all you have to do is look at his posts, in his own words, or watch a news conference to see. Our allies think he's a fool.

Exactly what are Democrats obsessed with Joe? Protecting the American people, trying to help the average or below average income citizen? Protecting the right to vote? Trying to make sure everyone, including Trump and his cabinet, adhere to the rule of law? Maybe trying to deal with a useless Pam Bondi who acts as Trump's personal attorney instead of the attorney for the people of the United States, Tulsi Gabbard who can't tell the different between and "imminent threat" and a President who isn't totally sure why he started a war and now he doesn't know how to end it. I could go on.

I don't know if Vance would be worse, but he sure won't be any better unless he does another 180 from when he used to call Trump, "no better than Hitler"

Now,exactly who is chewing me up? I guess it was something I didn't even notice so that should put your mind at ease.

How are you liking this new war based on a non-existent "imminent threat" -- the one with no exit strategy -- the one that is bringing home soldiers in coffins -- the one where we killed a school full of innocent young girls -- the one Trump promised he would never start -- the one where we are draining US stockpiles of munition-- the one that cost 5 billion dollars in the first few days -- the one that is estimated to cost 1 billion dollars everyday

He's an idiot.

If he had this ability to pay them all along, why has he allowed these agents to suffer this long, working 2nd jobs, many of them quitting to find other jobs?

Why did he subject the American flying public to wait hours in lines, miss flights?

Why did he and his spineless Republican lawmakers try to blame this on the Dems, when they offered 7 or more times to pay TSA while negotiating common sense changes to there procedures?

Why did he kill a bipartisan compromise to pay TSA workers, this according to Louisiana Senator John Kennedy,a Republican?

We know he wants his unrelated voter suppression bill passed before anything else because he's scared shitless of the midterms and he is panicking.

Not sure him finding an alternative way to pay TSA going to accomplish anything long term.

By the way Joe- what happened to your "American Hero" Elon Musk paying them.

I do anticipate Trump is going to coerce Lil' Wayne, Markwayne Mullin, into presenting him with a new award and trophy for having the foresight to send ICE into airports, and thus, saving a child's life. No other President has ever done that, he is so amazing!

“Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.

“Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said ‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,'” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after he landed here Tuesday morning.

Don’t forget about Annabel Hill from Georgia.

“ In 1986, Annabel Hill and her husband, Lenard, were facing the foreclosure of their 705-acre Georgia farm. Facing financial ruin, Lenard Hill died by suicide, hoping his life insurance would cover the debts. However, the policy did not cover suicide, leaving the farm in danger of being auctioned.

After hearing of the story, Donald Trump worked with Atlanta businessman Frank Argenbright Jr. to raise money to save the farm.
The Payoff: In December 1986, Trump and Texas developer Tom McKamy provided the final funds to pay off the remaining $78,000 debt.

As of early 2026, reports estimate Donald Trump has generated between $1.4 billion and over $3 billion in documented gains since beginning his second term in January 2025. This significant increase in wealth is primarily driven by cryptocurrency ventures, international real estate deals, and his media company, with some reports suggesting his net worth nearly doubled.

His increase in wealth is fueled by his position as president, with some describing the situation as a "for-profit presidency".

That is such a cop out. He makes much more than that from all his grifting.

The president has vowed to make America the “crypto capital of the world,” and his family-led World Liberty Financial platform has netted an estimated $550 million over the past year through selling cryptocurrency tokens known as stablecoins. The Trump family receives 75% of the net proceeds when World Liberty sells those tokens, according to the Wall Street Journal.

In January, Eric Trump, the president’s second-oldest son, signed a deal to sell a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial to Abu Dhabi-based Aryam Investment for $187 million.

Trump has also generated gains with his $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins, controversial crypto ventures that sparked an investigation by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee last November.
