The Aid money to Ukraine was agreed upon by Congress.

They have until January 20 of 2025 then hopefully not anymore

The US needs someone better than Biden or Trump.

Yeah, who?

So America First does not mean living in America and supporting the economy.

Being a tax paying legal citizen does

If you are a resident of Japan American income tax is only due on earning above $100,000.

Yes, that’s right.

It’s shocking to non Americans but (a) $100,000 salary is nothing so taxes are due and paid and (b) American people often reside in more than one place when they don’t work in their home country.

of course not. What kind of goofy nonsense is this? Has nothing to do with where you reside or do business.

TRUMP: The former president vows an overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, which he has long blamed for stymying his first term agenda: “I will totally obliterate the deep state.” He plans to reissue the Schedule F order stripping civil service protections. He’d then move to fire “rogue bureaucrats,” including those who ”weaponized our justice system,” and the “warmongers and America-Last globalists in the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the national security industrial complex.” He’s pledged to terminate the Education Department and wants to curtail the independence of regulatory agencies like the Federal Communications Commission.

If he truely does above then Israel/ Gaza / NATO / Ukraine won,t be an issue. Because dealing with the above is cutting the head of the snake off.

Every year the Mar-a-Lago club sponsors foreign workers because no US workers are willing to work there. That is the legal requirement to sponsor workers. Does anyone really think that this is not complete hypocrisy?

Billionaire Trump should not be using other people's donations to pay his personal bills when he is fully capable of paying them himself.

Biden shouldn't use US taxpayers' money to fund and prolong wars in other countries

That is not personal gain.

No it wasn't.

Even in the pre-Elon era, Twitter had tons of very loud and very popular conservative voices.

"X, formerly Twitter, has the biggest proportion of disinformation of six big social networks, a European Commission study has suggested."

People are adults enough to make the determination as to what is real and what is fake.

I'm afraid you are grossly incorrect otherwise the US would not be awash with conspiracies. People even believe the TV series they watch.

X has more fake news than other social media platforms, EU reports

Ok, that’s Europe’s thinking.

X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, has scrapped a feature that lets users self-report political misinformation on

Yeah, before it was a liberal block all conservative speech in any form, no more. All sides should be represented not just the Lefts

OwzerToday, you need to watch and read the news. Former classmates of the shooter said in class debates the shooter would always swing Republican when it came to debates. His parents had Trump signs all over their lawn just reinforcing which way this family leaned with their political beliefs.

Children tend to mimic their parents' political beliefs. They don't usually change until they get indoctrinated in university. Sounds more like he's a far-right extremist. Explains why he would want to shoot Trump.

You got Trump a convicted felon,

You mean a victim of a political witch hunt? The convictions should and will be overturned.

a man who hung out with Epstein on more occasions you can count on your fingers and flew on private jets with him and why? Donald has his own jet why did he need to fly with Epstein was he doing some kinky things with young girls?

I'm 100% in favor of having all the info come to light. Release the list. Have What-her-face's testimony made public. Whoever's on the list / guilty should get their punishment. But if we're going to arrest everyone who's taken a photo with the dude, or been on his plane, we're gonna need a bigger jail.

Didn't anyone get the memo?

A call for unity and calm had been put out there by Biden and Trump. I guess wishful thinking.

I will be so happy when this whole woke and divided extremism era on both side has come to end. And put to bed in the history books. Mark my words its coming.

The fact of the matter is. The world. The country, The planet require firm peace accords. And firm strong coherent leaders. DJT said with Dr. Phil we have never been so closer to a WWIII then we are right now. Undefined. From behind my desk. I can concur, he is right. Domestically and abroad.

The Democrats and state media keep pushing distorted facts on all to the right side. It must stop.

This weird wacked out ,hell bent on destroying ourselves for party era, Its got to stop. We really need to start working together for the common good of all people. Cause I can tell you now. Most of you have no idea what's coming if Biden is re-elected. Trump and Biden or rather Dems and Pubs maybe worlds apart. But it doesn't have to be that way. We all stood united for a common cause when 911 happened. Is that what it will take? a strong good ole smack in the face to wake up to working together again?

Musk is a man child, he doesn't have morals so it's no surprise he can't take criticism much like the CCP

And he will still be more wealthy happy and successful than all of us here combined. Doubt he cares what haters think.

Actually, Musk is against free speech. My account is suspended because I asked him why he didn't enforce free speech fairly between both sides in America. If Musk was for free speech, then he would have answered my question.

I don’t think Musk sits there and works X by himself, he has staff for that. Don’t know why you were suspended, can’t say or judge because I don't know your situation.

Instead, he chose to prove his detractors right when they say he is using it as a vehicle for self-promotion and self-interest while snuffing out any opinions to the contrary.

Well, for millions of conservative's and independents he’s definitely a hero, not what tell you.

"Seeing X as a credible source is the equivalent of always believing the first thing you see on the internet. Imaging using an X post as a reference for college paperwork"

I read academic papers all the time and they are filled with sources from the internet. I can find theories of lizard people running the world on the internet and I can find serious research papers. Same thing with X. Intelligent people are able to discern sources - they know that X and the internet are not sources but platforms. Deriding a link that goes through X with "X is not a reliable source" is simply feigning ignorance. At least, I hope it's feigning.

@Kabuki: *Drill, baby drill." Global warming is causing havoc with severe weather. Trump would make it worse.

At the Republican convention, Vance, I think it was, promised something he called "clean oil and gas", an update on Trump's 'clean coal'. Last year Trump held a fundraiser hosting Gulf Kingdom royals along with the west's corporate oil barons. Cornerstone to the GOP's policy is maintaining the wealth and global control of the fossil fuel aristocracy, the establishment that's brought so many wars and caused so much chaos, while poisoning the planet. Curious to see how Elmo X of the electric car spins this, or will he continue to rely on China to pad his wealth.

X is the platform, has nothing to do with the individual posting nor does it have anything to do with the people in the video uttering these things, the only thing and what is fabulous about the platform is, liberals don’t have a monopoly anymore on Free speech unlike other platforms that will silence, ban or throttle you. So it’s reliable when it comes to allowing free speech.

Actually, Musk is against free speech. My account is suspended because I asked him why he didn't enforce free speech fairly between both sides in America.

True, most people who read the conspiracy theories about Putin being behind the shooting or Trump camp arranging a fake assassination attempt that popped up within hours , couldn't help to agree

Best not choose or dismiss your conspiracy theories based on partisanship. Not a good look. Not serious.

X is awash with all kinds of spammers, sock puppets and conspiracy theorists regurgitating nonsense about stolen elections, climate change a hoax, proxy wars etc. Ridiculous people.

I like the ones you find on social media in general who start with ‘I don’t like Trump but…’ and then go on to get triggered by the slightest criticism of him.

They are so transparent and funny.

Trump and Biden both should step aside and allow voters to elect younger leaders who can remain awake and keep up with world events and individuals who have no criminal records, who have no ties with convicted pedophiles on more than one occasion, that have solid finances and no bankruptcies, and follow the laws of the United States

rcch, you got your facts wrong.

Did you watch the first Republican Convention where Trump is sleeping away for at least 2 or 3 minutes and the commentors were wondering if he was still alive.

the unvarnished truth is that trump should be in prison right now. insurrection comes with a 20 year sentence.

when you try to overthrow the government with fake electors, false election results and an attack on the capitol to stop the proceedings of government, it’s an attempted coup.

and you guys supporting that coup and the leader it it should be in prison, too.

you’re criminals, criminals against america and un-american in your actions. fake americans and no different than north korean puppets ion lockstep with dear leader.

it’s time for americans to tell the truth about you and call you out for what you are.

You are just one 'X' member.

Millions believe everything posted on 'X' and other social networks. Don't be so naive.

Hmm, for the life of me, I have no idea what you are talking about, you are wasting your breath, talking about something that I’m not even mentioning or don’t care about, the only thing that I was referring to was what people say, when a politician or a slept says or does something and it’s written on video and I take that and repost it. That’s not misinformation. That is exactly what that person said. It has nothing to do with being naïve, it has everything to do with, liberals want to hold conservative for the things they say, and hold their feet to the fire, fair enough, the same applies to liberals, that is what I was pointing out, nothing more.

Social network sites like 'X' can influence people even when it's misinformation.

Well, they definitely can afford to pay them more

The fact you don't know

But I do know, we own family businesses

that shows how hollow Trump's rhetoric of taking on the 'elite' and corporations is. 

So what’s the Dems excuse? Their policies that have been most destructive to the poorest people.

All he has is more billionaire corporate tax cuts as usual. 

Ok, so he shouldn’t? and then what’s going to happen? In California they tried to do that and it’s leading to a mass exodus where people might go in those states and work for Musk anyway

If you also notice the RNC Convention, Trump has been shown sleeping at his own convention on their big screen. Rep. Mike Johnson accusing Biden of not being able to speak without a teleprompter, whereas Johnson's teleprompter quits on him just before introducing the Attorney General, and just leaves without introducing him.

So, yes. There is a big contrast between the two Parties.

But I’m not talking about the non-American ones, they can’t vote in the U.S., so they can say whatever they want, but it won’t sway the electorate one way or another.

You don't know if an 'X' poster is an American or not. People can post misinformation about the election.

Usually, you can tell.

You cannot since proof of nationality is not required.

How does the "America First" stance of Trump supporters affect those living in a country like Japan instead of their homeland, America?

Very easy, we can still vote and I do pay taxes, so….

Democrats do that too. Taxes are only due on earning above $100,000.

Good for them. But geographically it doesn’t matter where I’m located at, the point is, if you’re a voter a patriot, that’s the only thing that matters, then there are the contributions

No, not sure what that even means

ignoring the reality that their corporations benefit greatly from publicly funded infrastructure, and the corporations are hurt when infrastructure is not upgraded.

And to that point this is why corporations are leaving California and who loses in the end, the consumer, the community, the left wants to penalize the left for helping the public and giving them jobs. That ship has sailed, California will become the next Venezuela

the extreme rightists care nothing about the working and middle classes paying taxes, spare me mention of his publicity stunt on not taxing tips.

If that were remotely true, Biden wouldn’t be bleeding minorities and he would be slamming Trump in the polls. None of that is happening.

Indeed....

One wants to preserve our over 200 year old democracy where freedoms are protected, the rule of law prioritized, and women and minorities treated equally and with dignity...

The other wants to enlarge his and his closest companions wealth by destroying our Constitution, implementing a fascist criminal kleptocracy based on faux religious principles, and using women and minorities as scapegoats...

Trump could not even stay awake for his own convention.

He has people yelling out fight, fight takes me back to 4 years ago when the White House was under attack.

The leader of the house could not speak because the teleprompter wasn't working and so he walked off the stage, The interesting point in this, he stated Biden couldn't speak unless the prompter was on and he should not be the President, and so, does this mean the Speaker of the House should resign if he cannot speak without the prompter.

You got Trump a convicted felon, a man who hung out with Epstein on more occasions you can count on your fingers and flew on private jets with him and why? Donald has his own jet why did he need to fly with Epstein was he doing some kinky things with young girls?

You got a kid who was a Republican and his family too, shooting at him and got his ear.

President Joe Bidens has totally failed on every policy pledge.

Taxes, abortion, law and order, the cost of the Inflation Reduction Act, Climate change, the sovereign debt liability, immigration, the Gaza/Israel crisis, Ukraine, the continuing culture, identity political toxicity festering in schools, in communities that once where unified in a common goal.

The US economy is bouncing erratically without clear strong policies/strategies that promote long term growth.

Between 1.9% and 2.4% dependant on how the numbers are analysed.

Joe Biden must be judged on his record performance in office.  

Not the suggestion that anything is better however incompetent than the republicans.

Yes, but who are liberals to say what is right or wrong, they don’t have that right, neither side does.

and there is no editing or fact-checking.

So we have to only take the word of a liberal fact checker??? Seriously given their history?

Free speech does not make it correct.

Doesn’t matter, who gets to decide? Liberals are prevailing chosen ones to decide that?

All social networks are unreliable when it comes to posting truth.

Ok, but that has nothing to do with the people in the montage of pundits and media folk that said what they said, can’t undo it, sorry, also, if you want to come down hard on social media, then you need to do the same with msm as well, the libs have been losing that battle for years, just ask Joe Scarborough.

The unusual feature of this year's contest is that both candidates manifestly lack even the slightest claim to be morally acceptable to any decent person with eyes and ears and a conscience.

Trump is anti-abortion and thus anti-woman's right to choose.

He’s pro-life for the defenseless who have rights as well

Biden believes in supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.

Trump believes in America first and solving America’s problems first and foremost, I love my neighbors and their kids, but mine will always come first before someone else’s, always, I would be a horrible father if I took care of my neighbors and their kids and told my own to just wait and I’ll eventually get back to them at some point and time.

so we know where his heart and loyalties lie.

With the U.S.

Trump believes in isolationism

As do most MAGA supporters

I won't say the German guy's last name which starts with an H because this is a sensitive time right now for all of those playing the victim card.*

Who’s playing the victim card?

Biden supports stronger legislation regarding gun control. /

But when the Dems had Congress and the presidency in 2010 and 2020 they did nothing.

Trump, who is fully supported by the NRA,

Absolutely

Biden might be old, but he knows the difference between what's right and what's wrong.

Not so sure, the last couple of debates have shown us something frighteningly different.

'X' is not a reliable source.

X is the platform, has nothing to do with the individual posting nor does it have anything to do with the people in the video uttering these things, the only thing and what is fabulous about the platform is, liberals don’t have a monopoly anymore on Free speech unlike other platforms that will silence, ban or throttle you. So it’s reliable when it comes to allowing free speech.

People can post whatever they want, whether it's true or not, and there is no editing or fact-checking. Free speech does not make it correct.

All social networks are unreliable when it comes to posting truth.

That's up to Trump. The Democrats have always been civil.

Yes and Biden suggesting to put Trump in the bullseye, or calling him Hitler for the last several years is cool. Mkay

Biden is senile

Trump tried to steal the election

Beavis and Butthead (or President trump and President biden). America should learn what freedom and responsibility means from Europe and Japan.

Trump didn’t have the internal infrastructure he has now and will have next year.

He almost lost what little internal infrastructure he had a couple of days ago. “Saved by God” though.

Is that all they could come up with? Pathetic. And it rather reinforces my point.

President-elect Joe Biden's victory speech in full

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfNYztas2c

"I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify, who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States"

"I’ll work with all my heart, with the confidence of the whole people, to win the confidence of all of you. And for that is what America, I believe, is about. It’s about people. And that’s what our administration will be all about".

"I sought this office to restore the soul of America, to rebuild the backbone of this nation: the middle class. And to make America respected around the world again. And to unite us here at home"

Now 2024, under Joe Biden Presidency, never has a US nation been more divided, a clear gap between the haves and the have nots. A failure of government and leadership,

A now a presidential nominee life subject to an assassination attempt on the campaign trail.

Two devastating wars, the middle east on the verge of anarchy.

Tens of thousand lives lost, Israel suffering another threat from an enemy intent of exterminating the Jew, from the river to the sea.

At home, the sacred justice system weaponised to thwart Donald Trump campaign at every stage.

Is this truly what the "stock" of the "Joe Biden pledge" amounts too?

And 2024, are the US people expected to vote for a Joe Biden that bears no relation to the President that entered office?

Compare Joe Biden 2020 to the Joe Biden 2024 with your own eyes .........

Let's see . . .

Biden is pro-choice on abortion and thus believes in a woman's right to choose for herself. / Trump is anti-abortion and thus anti-woman's right to choose.

Biden believes in supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression. / Trump stated that Putin was a genius when he invaded Ukraine, so we know where his heart and loyalties lie.

Trump believes in isolationism and doesn't understand the history of the past which has shown that this is the road to WWIII. Isolationism just means ignoring other countries, especially democracies like Ukraine, which are attacked and invaded by dictators. Not at all different from what transpired regarding the events that led up to WWII, and I won't say the German guy's last name which starts with an H because this is a sensitive time right now for all of those playing the victim card.

Biden supports stronger legislation regarding gun control. / Trump, who is fully supported by the NRA, is on the side of gun manufacturers.

etc.

Biden might be old, but he knows the difference between what's right and what's wrong. Trump thinks that injecting bleach gets rid of Covid.

Trump . . Strong but wrong.

BIden is the most energetic young man in this world. His is 1000 times higher than Einstein. His memory power is 4k 1000 Mp photohraphic ... ( this way was reported all the time )

I was believing all these lies on left media start with MSNBC and here in JT..

After understanding the reality ... how they treated us their slaves... I left democrat party ..

Finally we new that it was not Biden running the country. He is just a puppet ... what a shame..

I hope the campaigns can now be more civil after the attempted assassination of Mr Trump.

That's up to Trump. The Democrats have always been civil.

-1 ( +11 / -12 )

The RNC invited the head of the Teamsters to give a speech that could have come out of the mouth of Bernie Sanders. 

But it came out of a Capitalists mouth

They are trying that old populist, take on Wall Street and the elite feint Trump did in 2016. 

Hmmm

Which is not reflected in any of their policies now and did not happen during the Trump admin. 

Trump didn’t have the internal infrastructure he has now and will have next year.

Not falling for it but many will.

So now the Dems have another pressing predicament on their hands

A vote for Biden is a vote for the puppet masters who have been making decisions the last 3 1/2 years.

-3 ( +13 / -16 )

The bloody assassination attempt that happened in the backdrop of a proud American flag in the nation's heartland is rallying point for unity and reconciliation.

Biden did the right thing when he apologized for making divisive and disrespectful comments against Donald and Trump has been quite mature about withholding comments about Biden's unfortunate age-related issues.

It even looks as if RJK and Trump are going to mind ties and Kennedy might fully endorse Trump in exchange for Trump putting Bobby in charge of a National Commission to investigate the Operation Warpspeed debacle, which Trump seems ready to take some honest accountability for.

The healing of a troubled nation starts hear and now.

Their track records and plans on abortion, immigration, taxes, wars abroad — you name it — leave no doubt that the man voters choose in November will seek to shape the landscape of American life in ways wholly distinct from the other.
