In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Always keep your lamp lit, for we know not the day or time 😉
Amen
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Long overdue!
Trump actually got his enemies to now DEFEND higher fuel prices AND defend Zelensky’s bombing of Russian Refineries which IS the number one cause of global diesel and economic inflation and global economic collapse (ed: outside of the US).
Friggin BRILLIANT Chess move!

Points to ponder..
You’re an American
You say higher diesel prices are justified to harm Russia in its war with Ukraine
You also say higher diesel prices to harm Iran in its war with the US are unacceptable.
Why shouldn’t fellow Americans call you treasonous?

Another treasonous judge who ignores the fact that said illegals voluntarily entered Mexico (and likely multiple other countries where they could have applied for ‘asylum’) before arriving at the border…and the reality that we have embassies in every country they came from, wherein they could have applied for asylum. Choices have consequences.
Then there is the simple matter that it isn’t our responsibility to care for people who aren’t citizens. It’s really strange in another way as well. Where are the type of places that large numbers of illegal aliens flooded to? NYC and other high crime areas – places far more dangerous than most of their native towns.
Reality is that they are economic migrants – who have zero right to ask for asylum or be in our nation.
“THE NOBLE CAUSE SCAM.
Socialism has a perverse mechanism that it systematically repeats throughout Latin America: IT APPROPRIATES NOBLE CAUSES TO JUSTIFY INDEFENSIBLE RACKETS.
First it picks a morally compelling cause. The disabled, retirees, public universities. Then, in the name of that cause, it demands ever more public spending, creates gigantic bureaucratic structures, and manages billion-dollar slush funds without oversight or transparency.
And what happens when someone shows up and dares to ask where the money is? When someone tries to audit those slush funds?
MORAL BLACKMAIL APPEARS.
They don’t show the numbers. They don’t render accounts. They explain nothing. They accuse you of being against the disabled, retirees, or education.
Because the goal isn’t to debate how to help those who need it most. THE GOAL IS THAT NO ONE DARES TO QUESTION THEIR RACKET.
And when the slush funds finally get cracked open, the same old thing appears: middlemen, militant structures, privileges, and rackets funded with taxpayers’ money.
THEY USE THE POOR AS A MORAL SHIELD TO DEFEND THE PRIVILEGES OF THE CASTE.
We saw it in Argentina, and we see it in every country where socialism has managed to sink its claws.
Always the same mechanism. Always the same blackmail. Always the same beneficiaries. And always the same victims: those who truly need help and the decent Argentines who foot the bill.
THEY DON’T DEFEND RIGHTS. THEY DEFEND SLUSH FUNDS.
LET ALL THE ACCOUNTS BE OPENED. LET EVERY CONTRACT BE PUBLISHED. LET EVERY RESPONSIBLE PARTY RENDER ACCOUNTS DOWN TO THE LAST PESO. ARGENTINES DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT THEIR MONEY IS BEING SPENT ON.”
– Javier Milei, as translated on X
In case it needs to be said: same in USA
