  1. Yeah anyone who doesn't worship Trump is a dem. How did you get this ***** stupid?
  2. Trump went on to blame Biden for egg prices, claiming he "let the price of eggs get out of control". Prices are high, but this has been linked to a bird flu outbreak in the US. Egg prices rose under Biden in 2023, and in January a dozen eggs averaged over $5, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). That is 53% above the average for the whole of 2024. The USDA has said a bird flu outbreak has led to US farmers having to kill millions of chickens, creating egg shortages, and has announced a $1bn (£780m) plan to help combat the issue. The outbreak started in February 2022 and last year the Biden administration allocated more than $800m to tackle it. The Trump administration recently fired a number of USDA officials who worked on the government's response to bird flu as part of cost-cutting measures by the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). They are now reportedly attempting to rehire some of them. On its official website, Doge states that it has saved an estimated $105bn, from fraud detection, contract and grant cancellations, real estate lease terminations, asset sales, workforce reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings. However, that figure cannot be independently verified as, so far, Doge has only published "receipts" for contract, grant and real estate lease cancellations on the website. These add up to about $18.6bn. We have asked the White House for evidence of the remaining $86bn of savings. US media outlets have also highlighted some accounting errors. For example, Doge initially listed its largest saving of $8bn from scrapping an immigration agency contract - it later corrected this to $8m. The Chinese embassy in Washington, in a post on X, said: "If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end." I like it. Real morons in charge.
  3. I heard he found a bunch of fraud. Thank god.
  4. Biden's environmental policies were making America unsafe. I wonder just how dumb you need to be to have this conman make sense to you. I guess dumb enough to blame Biden for egg prices.
  5. Trump thinks he can run a country like a bad hotel. He isn't smart enough to realize animosity towards the entire world except for Russia is not going to go well. Make America Dumb Again.
  6. I remember the daily meltdowns on here during Biden when the stock market dropped 1%. Now you are a triggered libtard if you are concerned. Imagine coming here to read what 15 people have to post then get triggered that you have to ignore them. 😆
  7. I believe Rousseau is more highly graded by most analysts than he is on this board. Then again this board really doesn't like a single Bills player other than JA. So for the right price sure. Isn't that every single player though?
  8. Looks like Warren has become a liberal snowflake!! Tariffs might be President Donald Trump’s favorite word. To legendary investor Warren Buffett, there is less to be excited about. “Tariffs are actually — we’ve had a lot of experience with them — they’re an act of war, to some degree,” Buffett said in an interview with CBS that aired on Sunday. The Berkshire Hathaway CEO and billionaire investor said tariffs over time serve as a tax on goods and could raise prices for consumers. “The Tooth Fairy doesn’t pay ‘em!” Buffett said with a laugh. Tariffs disrupt trade between countries by raising taxes on imported goods, and those new costs are often passed on to consumers through higher prices. Tariffs are considered by many economists a political cudgel — sometimes used in a trade war — and not an efficient framework for international trade. Buffett offered his thoughts in a rare sit-down interview, with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell. The segment focused on the late Katharine Graham, former publisher of the Washington Post and a friend of Buffett’s, though he answered a few questions about the economy. The Oracle of Omaha said it’s critical to ask, “And then what?” when thinking about the implications of tariffs and who will bear the cost. “You always have to ask that question in economics: Always say, ‘And then what?’” Buffett said. Trump is set to go ahead with tariffs on America’s biggest trading partners on Tuesday, imposing 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico. Trump on Monday also raised tariffs implemented on China from 10% to 20%. The Trump administration has gone back and forth on its proposed tariff plans. Economists expect tariffs to increase the cost for US consumers on everyday goods that rely on international supply chains, from electronics to vehicles. Trump’s tariff proposals come at a time when US consumer confidence is declining and concerns of inflation are lingering. China has hit back at the United States with its own tariffs, stoking concerns of a trade war similar to Trump’s first term. And this time, the European Union and other trading partners are also targets, with Trump outlining a plan for “reciprocal tariffs” on countries that have tariffs on US goods. In an interview on The Situation Room on Monday with CNN’s Pamela Brown, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dismissed Buffett’s comments about tariffs as “silly.” Lutnick said tariffs could replace the need for the Internal Revenue Service, which he incorrectly said was created when the US entered World War I. “The United States of America before 1913 only had tariffs, and then we created — when we entered World War I, we all had to pitch in, and we created, of course, the brilliantly named Internal Revenue Service,” Lutnick said. In fact, what became known as the IRS was initially created in 1862, during the Civil War. The federal income tax, collected by the IRS, was established in 1913 by the ratification of 16th amendment, four years before the US entered World War I. Since then, federal income tax has become the government’s largest source of revenue. It is true the US government used to rely on revenue from tariffs before the federal income tax was created, but the US economy of the 2020s — a global powerhouse deeply intertwined in international trade — has evolved tremendously in scope and complexity since the US economy of the late 1800s and early 1900s. In short, the proposal to abolish the IRS and supplement government revenue with tariffs is financially unrealistic and riddled with issues. While Buffett didn’t elaborate on his comment about tariffs being an act of war, tariffs have long been associated with protectionist trade policy that has influenced isolationist foreign policy. In the 1930s, after the United States hiked tariffs as part of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 (which exacerbated the Great Depression), the French media reportedly called it a declaration of (economic) war. Buffett has previously been outspoken about the negative effects of tariffs. In 2016, he said Trump’s proposals for tariffs on the campaign trail were “a very bad idea.”
  9. Remember. If the stock market goes down under Trump that means the economy is flourishing. Stay calm. Yes. We already got the idea from your avatar.
  10. This was an interesting comment on the budget If you think there are too much waste in federal government spending, then feel free to go look up the top 10 programs that federal government spends its discretionary budget on. Let me know how much of a cut you think is reasonable for each program with military spending being number one and accounts for about 50% of that total spending. Then tell me what the aggregate amount of that saving is and what percent of the national debt that comes out to. Now, go look up the average corporate income tax rate of the Fortune 500 companies today, and then the corporate income tax rate of the 1950s and 60s. Then, calculate how much additional tax revenue we would get if Fortune 500 companies simply paid the 1950s or 1960s tax rate with an aggregate income of $18.8 trillion dollars last year (publicly available information). Now, tell me what percentage of the national debt would that additional tax revenue be? Finally, if you are honest then you will understand it's not a spending problem, it's a revenue problem by a long shot. And it's on purpose and by design. They simply don't want to pay their fair share like the good old days ever since they invented "trickledown economics" propaganda and are sticking with it. They are using the "debt crisis" they've manufactured as an excuse to take away the few crumbs that are left for the poor, the working class, the elderly and the veterans.
  11. This thread really makes me think…..
  12. He is better but I haven't given up on Samuel. I think he will do fine next season. Let's hope. Is your main issue with Debo the salary, not the draft pick? Which I can understand.
  13. Only losers don’t love corporate America. Thank you for taking care of us!
  14. So we couldn’t give a better pick? I would ***** love Debo on the Bills.
  15. This thread is the dividing line of people who think NOAA makes simple weather predictions and what real science is. How else do you explain... The Trump administration is stripping away support for scientific research in the US and overseas that contains a word it finds particularly inconvenient: “climate.” There is a difference between thinking your house is cluttered and arbitrarily throwing out furniture and boxes. It is also quite idiotic to think anyone who doesn't worship trump is a ***** liberal.
  16. Trump will tweet the weather!! Tell us commie overlord! How much snow we getting!! Hope its wrong so we troll the liberals!!
  17. Don’t you mean next 1st Q FG by opposing team.
  18. I think it proves the Bills players are like this board. NON STOP WHINERS!!! hahahahahaha. I kid. They better figure this ***** out.
  19. With Bean's first round picking, doesn't it make sense we just trade them for studs? I guess financially that would become problematic.
  20. Andrew Tate has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, and the feeling amongst the president’s family is mutual; Donald Trump Jr. has described the Tate brothers’ imprisonment as “absolute insanity.” One of Tate’s lawyers, Paul Ingrassia, now works in the Trump White House as a liaison to the Justice Department.
  21. Back to this you alright stupidity when you got nothing ha? Remember when the libs were all pedos? Meanwhile pedos in the White House.
  22. Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist and notorious leader of the right-wing “manosphere,” unexpectedly landed in Florida on Thursday morning after years of imprisonment and house arrest in Romania. Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, were arrested two years ago for allegedly forming a criminal gang to exploit and sexually assault women. The charges included the alleged rape of a minor. The Romanian government suddenly lifted international travel restrictionsThursday morning, and the Tate brothers promptly boarded a plane for the United States. It’s not clear why, or how, this happened, but it followed a pressure campaign from the Trump administration, which reportedly pressed Romanian authorities earlier this month to lift the travel restriction. Trump denied on Thursday during a brief press availability that he was involved in the Tate brothers’ freedom. You an Andrew Tate fan? @Albwan how about you? you guys worship rapists?
  23. I remember his laptop too!! Thank god that is resolved. Maybe he should have pardoned the BLM rioters. Just to troll you idiots.
  24. Ahhh Turmpers taking delight in anyone's pain or misfortune. What a common occurrence now. Oh no was a trolled????? Liberals were nuts with some of their policies. But they weren't scumbags.
