The insanity of this MAGA cult shit is fuckin' nuts. These people are simply no longer reachable. I was watching his cabinet meeting yesterday and could not believe what I was watching. It's like some kind of North Korean nonsense where they all sit around and tell Trump how great he is. People are out here losing their small businesses, losing their jobs, losing their 401k's and what not, and these ass kissing dipshits sit around the table w/ their red hats and kiss his fucking ass. I just don't get it. This is a dictatorship right before our eyes.

Not disputing the premise, that said this guys is rated less than 50%??? Something went wrong when he retired had he got screwed by the VA loss of two legs has a rating 100% all by itself which doesn't include other ratings (likely PTSD other health issues etc). Maybe I misread something in this article but if you have 50% or higher the dollar per dollar deduction doesn't take effect.

Edit
Upon research and asking someone who was medically retired - 50% has nothing to do with it. But still a bad policy imo.

I heard Trump say he would consider pardoning Puffy Combs should he be found guilty. He has already pardoned convicted criminals because they support him and/or are big donors.

I honestly wonder how a police officer who supported Donald Trump can look himself in the mirror as criminal after criminal is set free, include J6'ers who were convicted of attacking police officers.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands —

NATO leaders agreed on Wednesday on a massive hike in defense spending after pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, and expressed their “ironclad commitment” to come to each other’s aid if attacked.

The 32 leaders endorsed a final summit statement saying: “Allies commit to invest 5% of GDP annually on core defense requirements as well as defense- and security-related spending by 2035 to ensure our individual and collective obligations.”

I own an insurance agency and while I don't have to deal with tariffs but inflation the past years has had a big affect on rates. My good friend owns a fabrication shop and has to deal with tariffs I thought. When I asked him he said they had zero affect as he pays more for US steel already.

Inflation is up.

The latest PCE report indicates a rise in inflation, with prices increasing by 2.6% in June compared to a year ago, up from 2.4% in May. This increase is partially attributed to tariffs imposed by President Trump, which are pushing some prices higher according to CBS News, reports Reuters.

As for your friend................
US steel prices are up primarily due to the recent increase in tariffs on imported steel, making domestic steel more attractive and allowing producers to raise prices. Additionally, rising demand, driven by factors like infrastructure projects and increased manufacturing activity, is also contributing to higher prices.
