Citizenship in our capitalistic country will make "us (see trump and his cronies)" and the billionaires lots of money, huh? Gold cards provide entry to and easy citizenship in USA. Do the math boys. $38,000,000.000,000,00/$10,000,000.00 = a mere 3,800,000 sales to zero the national debt and lots of $trillions for the new citizens, huh? MAGA

Something like that, anyway. But it's better than Trump's plan because... 1. It can be done every year, not just once. 2. No foreign vermin need to be allowed in. 3. Minimal inflationary impact because it doesn't add to overall money supply.

Think of it. The only reason it has to come up is for food. It doesn't need water because they have, you know, they have their system of water, which is they can stay forever." May 15th, 2025 This claim was made during a speech to US troops at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, where he also touted the US military's strength and technological advancements.

Reporter: What does [the Declaration of Independence] mean to you? Trump: Well, it means exactly what it says. It is a declaration. It s a declaration of unity, love, and respect. And it means a lot. And it’s something very special to our country.

We're gonna get the drug prices down—not 30 or 40 percent, which would be great, not 50 or 60 percent. No, we're gonna get them down 1,000 percent, 600 percent, 500 percent, 1,500 percent. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable." "Well, one of the things they're going to be talking about pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices. You know, we've cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 percent. I don't mean 50 percent. I mean 14-, 1,500 percent," the president said. When asked to clarify the president's remarks, White House spokesperson Kush Desai told Newsweek, "It's an objective fact that Americans are paying exponentially more for the same exact drugs as people in other developed countries pay, and it's an objective fact that no other Administration has done more to rectify this unfair burden for the American people." [Donald’s solution—force other countries to RAISE their drug prices.] “It's almost as if Trump is making fun of his supporters, seeing what increasingly absurd statements he can get away with." Jeffrey Frankel, a professor of capital formation and growth at Harvard University
bobspringett 20-Aug-25, 21:08	Shiva 17:22 < [Donald’s solution—force other countries to RAISE their drug prices.]> Golly, has he been trying to do that here in the Land of the Medicated Marsupial! Our government seems to spend a large percentage of every press interview assuring viewers that our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is non-negotiable in Trump's Tariff 'negotiations'. I accept the government means what it says. It would be political suicide for them to charge patients more, and not far short of it to pay a higher wholesale price than has already been negotiated. The real fear is that Big Pharma will simply stop selling the drugs here, to satisfy Trump's demands. If that happens, expect a whole truckload of generics to be approved to replace the American version. I wouldn't be surprised if this might even include some creative re-interpretation or 'unavoidable delays in enforcement' of intellectual property rights.

All that's needed for the nuke Aircraft carriers is at-sea loaded aircraft fuel, chow, bombs, parts, mail and replacement sailors. The same goes for the nuke subs. If they could grow their own chow, keep the sub running and find a way to keep the sailors from killing each other, etc. they could stay under-water for 20-years. Not that the sub wouldn't stink big-time by then.

How can I help you?" - My name is John Smith, and I have my power bill and Notice of Revised Fees in front of me. It says you're going to charge me $150 per kilowatt-hour starting tomorrow._ '(muttering) John Smith. Let me see... Your address is 1243 Silvertail Circuit?' -That's right. And I'm an important man, the CEO Ripper-Moff Pharmaceuticals. I want to know why I'm going to be charged a thousand times more than my staff in the town.- 'That's precisely why, Mr. Smith. This is America, the land of Free Enterprise. We charge according to an algorithm that optimises our profitability. If we charged the common worker that amount, he would move somewhere else where power is cheaper. But you have a mansion worth -ah- $438 million according to our research, and with power prices at $150 per kilowatt-hour you won't be able to sell it for anything like that valuation. So pay up or have your power cut off.' -I'll take it to the tribunal! You can't do that!- 'Actually, we can, Mr. Smith. As I said, this is America. Even if they change the law to suit your demands, we might simply refuse to supply power under our usual terms and instead require a specific contract for supply.' -I demand that I get charged no more than any other customer!- 'You mean, like Pharmaceutical companies should charge Americans no more than they charge any other nation? Isn't your company taking the government to court to stop that from happening?' -That's different! Those foreign governments are FORCING us to sell at low prices.- 'And soon the American government will force you to sell to Americans at low prices. But that doesn't solve your current problems. The American government doesn't force ANY company to sell to everyone at the same price. Fingerlakes Power Supply can charge what it wants to charge, and you either buy or you don't. If you don't like it, buy your power somewhere else.' -I can't. Fingerlakes is the only company that supplies in this area.- 'Yeah, we know. It's a wonderful thing, to have an effective monopoly! But you would know that, with all your patent re-birthing.' -OK then! I'll get in my own generator! Who needs Fingerlake? I'll give them the finger, and see how they lake that!- 'You do that, Mr. Smith. A generator system big enough to satisfy your peak demand will cost you a few hundred thousand. We know, because Fingerlake Power Supply has just bought out all the large generator suppliers and installers in the state. We have set our prices and installation charges in anticipation of people like you. Then, when it's installed, we might get someone who needs a hundred dollars in cash to lodge a complaint against the noise and pollution your plant is generating, and get it closed down.' -You bastards!- 'Yes. Free Enterprise is a system that rewards bastards. It's how people like you become millionaires.'

Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before power and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
