Mamdani seems to be the NYC Dems selection in response to continuing cost of living increases. Same forces brought Trump back to office. Will be interesting to see if his flavor of politics expands in the party outside of NYC. Voters don’t seem to care about political experience, as long as they like the message. Trump will probably try to punish Mamdani/NYC since he hates when anyone else gets the media cameras.

So if this is about drug cartels, why is Trump focused on Venezuela instead of Columbia or Mexico? I thought those two nations were most responsible for the drugs entering USA.

Fake. His phone isn’t showing his face.

Agree. And same for much of America on one side or the other. Just another example of why gerrymandering is at the root of the political dysfunction in the country. If politicians are in safe gerrymandered districts, they can take extreme positions and ignore the concerns of the other party.

Our military has always been ahead of society in valuing people for their abilities, regardless of their faith or skin color. That has been one of our great strengths. Our military is an assimilation factory.

Still waiting to see a Republican healthcare plan. And now you support SNAP. Got it.

True. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. 600k does seem high but what is the Republican plan then?

Republicans want to cut SNAP benefits and health insurance subsidies. Let the pain begin. Let’s let millions of Trump voters receiving those benefits suffer. Show and tell the stories of Americans suffering on the news. Let them remember which party wants these policies.

If everyone is so hot on changing birthright citizenship, then follow the Constitutional amendment process and see if it can be done. Get 2/3 majority in house and senate or approval through constitutional convention.

And what a majority needs to do is sweeten the bill to force 7 Dems to vote for it to pass it. That’s how politics works. It’s not clear what the off ramp is for either party now.

The price of eggs was used during the election as a generic phrase for the cost of food/living since no one is only living on eggs. Since you are woefully misinformed, here is a more complete picture of the rising food costs. https://wolfstreet.com/2025/10/24/food-inflation-the-price-spikes-of-beef-coffee-eggs-and-dairy/

Trump got elected to stop illegal immigration and to lower the price of eggs. He’s accomplished #1, though probably to the dismay of many who voted for him, since many didn’t really think he would do it as has been done. So far he has failed on #2 and doesn’t seem too concerned about it as he’s more obsessed about his ball room. Now I’m not too riled up, I’m just noting where we are 10 months into the most amazing presidency ever. Will be interesting to look back on all this a year from now to see where we are and if eggs are any cheaper. Biden royally mishandled the immigration issue and his own physical ability to run for a second term, thus we get Trump. Trump royally mishandled Covid, thus we got Biden. I’m pretty sure people will be tired of Trump in 3 years the way this going.

These right wingers like Banon act like they are the persecuted minority and have no other options but to consider war. Have they forgotten that they are the government and can and are doing whatever they want, including tearing down the East Wing. They have their tariffs, they have their masked goons snatching people off the street, abortion wars are over, they own the Supreme Court, and Congress, the billionaires give Trump whatever money he wants, they are blasting boats out of the ocean for entertainment, woke is dead, universities and media don’t dare oppose or they will be sued, they have gutted the government and fired anyone they don’t like. Doesn’t look like they need a war since they can just do whatever they want. Problem is, is that there always has to be an enemy to eliminate and now they need to find new targets as they are getting bored rounding up immigrants.

There has never been a swap creature bigger than Trump. He asks for billions, not millions and the swamp is bigger than ever.

Looks like it is being funded by The Swamp. I guess Trump is now a Swamp creature.

Related? Governance of those southeast states have failed their populations. Sometimes some change is good. Don’t know what to think about this issue.

For those of us who don’t live the life of a hermit or are not able to replace our own house roof like you do, please direct me to the government website which tells us which businesses to avoid.

Don’t tell that to me. You should be telling that to the thousands of business owners who do the exploitation and are getting rich from it.

Arguing about the meaning of religion is as old as time. Your view on immigration is not the message I read in The Evangelist or hear from the Pope.

That’s a stupid comment based on assumptions and no knowledge. You call an agency, they send someone, you make sure they do what you are paying them to do. That’s it. Are you asking for proof of citizenship or immigration papers for the mechanic who give your truck an oil change, or the woman cleaning your hotel room, or the cook at the diner you go to, or the crew working for the contractor to replace your roof or pave your driveway? I doubt it, so looks like you must miss the good old days of slavery and keep your whip handy.

Sure, anyone - citizen or illegal, working on their own will be cheaper. We ended up using agency care givers. What I do know is that the retention rate for workers in the field is low. The agency isn’t paying them much. Walmart might pay better. We experienced constant turnover of Americans willing to care for our low maintenance father. Anyone with basic job skills are looking for other work opportunities. Hence, immigrant women may be more willing to do this type of work. If your loved one needs care, you aren’t asking what their immigration status is.

Do you think every immigrant is illegal? We need expanded legal immigration.

He acts like he only wants to be President for part of the country and some of the people. He views the blue states as the enemy within.
