We should have pride to be American.
Being LGBTQ doesn't define a person. It's PART of who they are.
Let's celebrate ALL us Americans have to offer. And if there isn't enough, let us strive to improve ourselves so that we may have much to celebrate.
We face an inflection point in history.
But as I look around at the pride, hope, and light in our LGBTQI+ neighbors, I know it’s a moment we’ll meet together.
I agree.
For every period of time politicians are in office, they should live outside of the government (Meaning no government contractors, 'consultant' positions, or other offices) for an equal period of time before they can re-enter any position related to the government.
Term limits for the US Congress is a long-needed reform that will dislodge the entrenched political class and restore true representative government.
Term limiting members of Congress enjoys massive public support across virtually every demographic — regardless of partisan affiliation, race, gender, or age, Americans want to see term limits.
States have the ability to propose — and ultimately enact — a constitutional amendment for term limits.
Florida has already certified it and so have about a dozen states. More are considering it and I anticipate the movement will continue to gain traction.
Term limits can happen. We just need states to step up and do the job the founders envisioned they would do.
Germany blew up the cooling towers of another nuclear power plant today. There was no reason to shut them down, just leftist ideology.
Now electricity prices are 3x higher than the USA and manufacturers are closing.
Lousy policy has consequences.
That's the problem with FIAT currency.
You don't need to raise taxes. You can just print money.
You 'tax' the citizens by devaluing their currency.
It's much harder to notice.
Which makes it harder for people to vote their way out of it.
Disgusting.
The federal government spent $7.010 trillion in fiscal year 2025.
That’s a 3.9% increase from $6.746 trillion spent in FY2024.
We should be spending less, not more.
I wonder how they're going to protect themselves.
I don't know if they have enough money for a NATO membership. Maybe they'll join the EU?
But regardless, Greenland is going to have to hedge their bets with SOME superpower. They don't have the military to defend themselves.
Since this is a hot topic…
-Noticing the Israeli government is involved in a lot of shady dealings and has too much influence in American politics is not being anti-Semitic
-Condemning the actions of Israel is not Jew hate
-Hating all Jews is just as dumb as funding and fighting all their wars.
-Verbally expressing hatred of Jews shouldn’t be a crime

Country A can't just lower it's labour laws. It's not fair to them that Country B can make goods for cheaper. Therefore, they put tariffs on country B.
Is this not free and 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑟 trade?
@martinjordan@AmazonAndrew (1/2)
Okay, let's take this scenario.
Two countries have the exact same manufacturing technology and efficiency. However, Country B can produce more goods for cheaper because they are allowed to mistreat their workers (In our definition of the word mistreat)
A 15 yr old Boy Scout working on his merit badge just sent me this idea:
No taxes on workers under 18 yrs old.
I love it because:
1. They need experience to pick a college major
2. They need to develop a work ethic
3. The economy needs more workers
4. They don’t get to vote
President-elect Elon Musk and his assistant, Donald Trump, want millions of American - including U.S. service members - to go without a paycheck over Christmas.
Shameful.
@nulltrace @kpn_it_real If I provide the equipment, raw materials, and customer base for you to sell fast food, who do you think gets to keep the profits?
@nulltrace @kpn_it_real I think your anger would be better directed at the government.
More regulations means that new companies have to go through more hoops to compete with the existing corporations.
@nulltrace @kpn_it_real Shareholders give you money in order to grow your company with the expectation that your company does well. Where is the slavery?
And if the executive class is "enslaving" you, why not work for a small business? Or start your own?
