What Zohran Mamdani is doing is NOT EVEN SOCIALISM. You know what he's doing? He's showing what can be accomplished when the WEALTHY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.
There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater.
I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse.
Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever.
And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether.
Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani getting a multi-billion dollar bailout from the state and then claiming he cut the deficit to $0 is one of the most mind-blowing examples of socialist math ever.
He inflated the budget by 7 billion, then got a 4 billion bail out from the state of new york. Can anyone explain what exactly he did that was so impressive?
I know this is a bot, but do actual people think this way? Politicians “flourish” with your tax dollars. Billionaires create jobs, stimulate taxes and pay more taxes than the rest of us.
I can’t wrap my head around American lower and middle class people thinking free healthcare, universities, and public services would HURT them financially?
Literally allowing the billionaire class to flourish with YOUR tax dollars. It’s delusional.
Elizabeth Warren was key in blocking the JetBlue/Spirit merger to "protect consumers"…
The result? Spirit liquidates after 34 years. 16,000 employees just lost their jobs and the bigger airlines can now raise prices even more.
Always wrong, never in doubt.
She lives in a $2.2 million home, works for a high-paying media company, and was recently all dressed up on the red carpet for The Devil Wears Prada 2. Yet, she’s stealing from Whole Foods in the name of “anti-capitalism.” Is there anything more annoying than an elitist leftist?
Charlie Kirk walked onto college campuses to debate students. Never incited violence. Yet some of you danced on his grave.
Hasan Piker is an open Soviet sympathizer who calls for political assassinations and looting, dressed up as social justice.
Yet you platform him and pay his bills every month.
The cognitive dissonance is insane.
Calling for murder vs. arguing with college kids.
A fundamental fracture in society.
Look in the mirror.
Hypocrisy is unreal.
@lord_brunson No one has secret hate, they are all professional athletes who watch 20+ hours of film a week. They can clearly see the guy is mediocre and has been carried by the talent around him. Yall cope so hard with this shit.
Shawn. Every number in this post is wrong. Disgraceful to spread this propaganda to millions of people.
"$118 oil." Brent closed at $101.73 on April 22. WTI is $92. The number doesn't exist.
"25% of global oil supply." Hormuz carries 20-25% of seaborne oil trade. That is not global supply. Actual demand destruction from the closure is 4-5 million bpd, roughly 5% of global output. You're off by 5x.
"Forced ships to pay in Chinese yuan." Two vessels have paid in yuan. Two. Out of 26 vetted IRGC transits since March 13. The toll accepts yuan, Bitcoin, and USDT. It's a toll booth... not a currency regime.
"Gulf states dumping US treasuries." Show the TIC data. You can't, because it doesn't exist. State Street's April note... no evidence in flow data or price action of any dumping or shift in foreign ownership.
"Bond markets selling off." 10-year moved from 4.17% at year-end to 4.26%. Nine basis points. That's a Tuesday.
"Inflation surging." Headline CPI 3.3%, driven by a gas spike. Core CPI printed 2.6%, below expectations. Gasoline moved. The broader index stayed contained.
"Deutsche Bank warning of a petroyuan era." One strategist. The operative word she used was "could." Franklin Templeton and Brown Brothers Harriman torched it within weeks. The yuan is 3% of global central bank reserves. China's capital account is closed. It's going nowhere near 50%.
"Oil has only been sold in dollars since the 1970s." This is the Kissinger secret-treaty fable. No exclusivity agreement ever existed. Saudi Arabia accepted British pounds well into 1974. Oil trades in dollars because the Eurodollar market made dollars the deepest liquidity pool on earth by 1955, not because of a secret decree.
This is the exact narrative template Russian and Chinese info ops have been seeding for ten years because it keeps Americans convinced the dollar is one headline away from collapse. It isn't.
You're reaching Ro Khanna levels of retardation
And the US is exporting directly at the highest numbers since WW2 and China was cut off from 40 to 50 percent of its oil imports
This is much more complicated than you claim
Yup, he's gone full Tucker Carlson.
An average of 10 ships a day made it through when Iran "opened" the Strait. When it is actually open, close to 130 ships pass through.
That doesn't change the petrodollar. Not even close.
Who is feeding Shawn this garbage?
A lot of people probably think all the infighting on the right is part of a psy op from the left designed to split the party so democrats can take back power, buts it’s actually way worse than that.
It’s definitely a psy op, but it’s not divide and conquer strategy, it’s chaos strategy. Liberal policies are failing worldwide and people are waking up. This isn’t just about dividing the GOP in America, it’s about flooding social media with so much negativity people will think Trumps policies aren’t popular or working and both parties suck.
You hear it all the time, people will say “theres no difference between the parties” when there clearly is. One of them is way worse, and it’s the left. They want to convince you theres a uniparty, that way they can push the new world order where people on the left and right both unite over shared hatred of their own government, and other governments who share ideals and interests. Once they have you hating both sides, and you’re beaten, broken, and tired, they’ll offer a solution of collectivism. They will tell you to let the world government take over, because if we are all unified under one tent there will be no more fighting over left or right, race or religion.
They’ve already got so many people to throw away their beliefs and align with people they hate, because they gave them a common enemy, Israel. That’s just a practice run, same as COVID. They’re seeing how easy it is to get you to give up on your principles, so they can see how easy it will be to get you to give up your freedom. Look at the people pushing for more government overreach, more government control, and begging the government to crush their enemies, lock them up, impeach them, etc. Look at the people romanticizing Islam, communism, ultra right wing nationalism, and other authoritarian ideologies. Those are the recruiters. They’re not dividing one coalition, they’re pulling from both.
Everything Trump is doing is to prevent this. China and globalists are all behind this shit. It’s way bigger than democrats getting power back. They want to burn it all down and build on top of the ashes. If they pull it off, this country won’t look like Canada or the UK in 2026, it will look like Germany in 1939.
Wake up, and fight back.
