I can’t wait for the inevitable Congressional Hearings on Cspan to watch people in suits saying “Big Balls” over and over. Hopefully in regard to his prison sentence.

I wonder how it is eventually written in the history books, granted we get to that other side of the ridge somehow.

I think if there’s a future where knowing who “big balls” is remains relevant, history books will probably be a moot point as public education will no longer exist. Womp womp.

Open Letters by Mersault's avatar

“For centuries, humanity waged war to eradicate us, but you, dear Trump supporter, have done everything in your power to welcome us back. You have gutted public health infrastructure, sabotaged disease research, and convinced yourselves that modern medicine is a plot against you. Truly, it is rare to find a species so deliberately self-destructive, and for that, I must extend my deepest appreciation.”

Not even a hundred days and the boarder is closed and the gang members, (illegal aliens) are being deported. The military recruitment is going through the ceiling and a wonderful tax bill is about to be passed. Gas/oil is down to a bit less than $3.00 a gallon which means the prices of many things ….. since everything needs to be transported… will go down. Eggs are also down, under $3 a dozen. Inflation is indeed dropping. You guys are funny, he’s done more in less than 90 days than Biden did in 4 years. Give him a little more time. BTW Doge is awesome. Cutting off the Marxist Dems slush funds.

And yet innocent people with no connection to gangs are now stuck in brutal El Salvador prisons.

That Joe Rogan is criticizing the Administration's handling of immigration tells me all I need to know.

I like Joe Rogan a lot. Didn’t hear this comment but I’m certain that there is more to it. Because he is on board with deportations and DOGE. I’m sooo good with getting these gang members out of the country. If a mistake was made they will rectify. Nothing and no one is perfect but we are better off.

There's not. You can see for yourself. Watch it, and then come back to me. If you think I am wrong, and there is more to the story, then tell me.

I think the episode is from March 29th, where he speaks with Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kisin.

I am. But I believe this is a case of the old Richard Pryor quote, "Who are you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?"

I will start with this: this goes against your own common sense. Look at the price of eggs. Have they gone down since Trump got in, or have they largely stayed the same or up? What about other prices of other goods? Have they gone down since Trump got in, or have they stayed largely the same or up?

And here are their (Trump's) own numbers. Government numbers: employment is up. Then consumer confidence is down. People are stockpiling toilet paper and stuff like we are reliving the COVID crash. And remember, the economy is built on consumer confidence.

So, you might ask, what gives with Billelo's stats? Here is a possible answer I've heard: according to some, this measure is rather bullish on crypto. That would perfectly explain what I see here, as even government numbers (Trump government numbers) have inflation as up.

And if that is right, then I wouldn't bet that this Billelo stuff is going to pan out. Crypto is a scam (Trump was right the first time). It is the Wild West of finance, and it is still the go-to currency of international terrorists, money launderers, rogue states, and other criminals.
