New York Times: U.S. National Debt Hits $40 Trillion Dollars

Golden Age moment.

The U.S. national debt will be over $50 trillion when Trump leaves office.

New York Times:

“America’s gross national debt topped $40 trillion for the first time on Wednesday, an ominous milestone for an economy that sits on a shaky fiscal foundation after decades of borrowing to pay for the rising costs of the military, social safety net programs and President Trump’s tax cuts.

This year alone, the United States is on track to borrow more than $2 trillion to help pay for its obligations, including spending on the war in Iran and the sweeping tax cuts that Republicans enacted in 2025. Soaring interest payments to investors who have purchased America’s debt now make up about half of that red ink, pushing the United States into a deeper financial hole. …”

MAGA’s solution to this problem was to purge Thomas Massie and replace him with Ed Gallrein who ran on drafting young men to fight Iran for Israel. Among other things, Massie was known in Congress for his eccentric debt clock pin which he wore to draw attention to our dire financial future.

  1. US Debt is $41T while US GDP in 2025 was $32T. People like to get into a big tizzy about the debt but it’s just not a big deal. It’s like making $200K a year and having a $300K balance on a mortgage.

    • $9 Trillion isn’t exactly chump change.

      I’m sure any Jewish finance guy will spin it the same way as you are spinning it. Another thing Jews do is claim “the balance of payments” is in our favor.

      If there is a big push to sell “war bonds” then you will know we are in trouble. But, more likely we will see cuts in spending and a tax raise. What we don’t cut, will have to be paid for by raising taxes.

        That will just accelerate our decline, less spending,more unemployment.

          • Literally a demographic reset thru remigration, repatriation, and deportation would literally solve most of the balance sheet problem overnight. To manage this we need to go to a wartime command economy. Trump wants to be Libertarian boy of Gold instead so his begging Wall Street to invest in the military prime economy, making deals with Wall Street to limit deportations of illegals, and essentially just managing the immigration issue on the margins like California politicians did a generation or two ago. It’s too late for that sort of Homan-Wallace-Clytemnestea soft touch program.

    • GDP is not federal revenue.

      To be a fair comparison you’d have to compare federal debt to federal income.
      By historical evidence, nearly all nations have serious financial problems when national debt is greater than GDP .
      We’re well beyond that.

      • “To be a fair comparison you’d have to compare federal debt to federal income.”

        Yeah but then you’d have to separate non government income from non government debt to get an accurate portrait of the underlining economy value of the nation. You should look at those numbers. The government is the one thing keeping us together. The Leftists are just doing what you guys want to do, destroy the US government but as usual are doing it better and smarter. And as usual weirdly you guys complain about the consequences which you would have brought on us anyways.

    • Your example is foolish as is your comment. A mortgage doesn’t keep increasing because you are having to borrow to pay it, necessitating that more and more of your income go simply to making that “minimum payment” to service the debt while not applying anything to the outstanding balance. Also, you need to remove government spending from GDP, some of which is actually interest costs of the debt itself. That’s 38% of GDP and rising.

          • Hunter lives in a dream world where it’s still neocons versus truecons versus populists vying for control of America. He still hasn’t read the memo written on the wall. There is no future anymore for any ideological chance of capture by constitutional means on behalf of White normie politics even of Hunter’s variety. There is only utter degredation, civil war and famine, genocide or some sort of White military junta takeover.

            There is a greater than even likelihood China will invade Taiwan before then and/or the petrodollar collapses to no more than 50%. The later alone will occurr just by following WU’s, Hunter’s, Clytemnestra’s, Massie’s and Ruth Paul’s neo-isolationist retreat. Such a fall in value would be enough to cause the American Empire to collapse to Hunter’s joy. Burritos would rise to $30-35 dollars and bread to around $15-20. Interest on the debt will increase to $2.5 trillion and the SSI/Medicare will payments will be cut around 30% or less of their nominal amount now, essentially making them worthless.

            In addtion to such a collapse caused by Isolationists, Islamo-Commies, Thomas Massie and AOC having an affair to to take down the Empire, a loss of Taiwan will be the official end of the American Empire even if they fail to implement isolationism. Because even without full scale Hunter dream of isolationism, the petrodollar will contract to around 60%. The loss of Taiwan would already compound this devestating but still somewhat manageable crisis into full scale destruction.

            At that point the petrodollar will go into freefall, and the dollar will vaporize in value overnight. burritos would be costing about 60 dollars and bread to around 30 or 40 dollars. The huge debt would again compound further rupturing what remained of America’s latent military abilities and wealth. There will be no military rescue at that point. Instead what reamins of the military will be managing emergency food distribution because Hunter’s family will literally be in famine like the rest of us. This will force the government into some sort of socialist takeover but, already as explained this won’t be a White military it will be under non-White neo-nazis.

            The new Black Supremacy government of AOC and Moamar Qaddafi Mamdami will have already amnestied all the illegal aliens and will grant them citizenship. The Southwestern States will seek some sort of compact with Mexico who will assume their debts but everyone there will be reduced to Mexican levels of quality of life except for its Papist elite families like the Pelosis and Newsoms. The Midwest and Northwest will probably do the same with Canada, and will only be slightly better off but still an utter basket case. The Northeast will do it with the EU, and will have some benefits with that but again under the sheer weight of third world immigrant settlement will be a disaster zone yet will still have to accept more MENA immigrants from Europe in return for minor solvency relief from Europe and Asia. Meanwhile the Southeast will remain outside of anybody except the vestigial US, but will still be filled to the brim with Latinos and Carribeans and Blacks who will make the region ungovernable and under federal reconstruction 4.0.

            Under this scenario the new governments of the balkanized but still vestigally united America will use most of its remaining power to complete the South Africanization of America but it will be worse. It literally will be a government who will treat non connected Whites who aren’t Papists like the Nazis treated Jews just to get rid of them as government dependents. So, I’d expect Alabama will have a giant fat Black Supremacist Governor who will have Hunter has his slave girl like the rat ring Jabba the Hut had in Return of the Jedi. There will be no Confederate monuments left or cemeteries or anything Southern. But Hunter will be blessed knowing he helped broom sweep out DJT, Republicans, Evangelicals, WASPs, Zionists and Jews and bring down the American Empire. This is the direction all you retards on OD are hurting towards and it’s no exaggeration.

          • In six paragraphs, Aryan Globalist Bro doesn’t explain that Taiwan is defenseless because Ukraine and the war with Iran for Israel have exhausted our munitions. The lone aircraft carrier that was stationed in the Pacific was just sent to the Middle East. Trump also told South Korea to fuck off and get lost for not supporting the Iran War. He also threatened to quit NATO again because our European allies refused to get involved in the Iran War. Meanwhile, Canada is imposing new tariffs on the United States.

          • An old pal of mine, a well known forecaster, claims it’s months, not years away.

          • > There is a greater than even likelihood China will invade Taiwan before then and/or the petrodollar collapses to no more than 50%.

            You obviously know very little about Xi or his career. He would consider it a great failure on his part if he actually had to invade. He spent literal decades building personal and business relations between Taiwan and the Mainland when governor of Fujian province. There’s even a joint religious thing going on with temples to Matsu despite the PRC’s official atheism. Xi himself is a fairly important political philosopher and has basically moved China into a type of National Socialism. Taiwan’s KMT is probably the first National Socialist party to exist and hold power. Both countries revere KMT founder Sun Yat-Sen, whose tomb on the mainland is a shrine to many in both countries. Yes, Taiwan was unfortunately been subjected to Clown-World influences but that’s modern Jew-run Murika for you – polluting the entire fecking planet with its bullshit. Taiwan is over 90% Chinese. Once they realize the Clowns in Sodom-on-Potomac can’t even defend their own damned border from invasion they’ll come home to China without a shot being fired. They have higher average IQ there than can be found in Mud-Murika.

          • @Exalted Cyclops,

            “Once they realize the Clowns in Sodom-on-Potomac can’t even defend their own damned border from invasion they’ll come home to China without a shot being fired. They have higher average IQ there than can be found in Mud-Murika.”

            Again advocating for dismantling the American Empire and starving Hunter’s family. Once Tawain is incorporated into China, Beijing will become the apex high tech, mid tech, and low tech manufacturer of the world and will set prices to what it wants. By controlling both sides of the China Sea the Chicoms will force Japan and Korea to abandon the Petrodollar and adopt the PetroYuan or be cut off from oil.

            At that point the last leg holding up the petrodollar will collapse and will fall to probably 25% or less of the world Petro purchases causing the dollar to totally go insolvent. Bread will literally be to expensive to buy. Burittos will be made solely by Pelosi’s helot servant class for families like hers resulting in all burrito makers going out of business. Tragically people like Hunter will be forced to give their children up to adoption to a Chinese family or they will die of starvation. Yes, this is what you want I see.

    • You made the point before I could. It’s when it gets over 120% of GDP that you are in trouble. We are over that. Other counties collapse when they are at 110% but they aren’t the reserve currency. We need to bring it down to 110 or better yet 100 percent very quickly. Still it’s the highest ever except under Biden during COVID when it was 135% of GDP. We aren’t in COVID anymore.

      Here is how we are against other countries and historically. Note we are one of the top 5 worst in the developing world. Only Japan and Italy are worse. Even after WWII we were at 118%. Best thing to do is rigidly take off any immigrant and illegal household off any benefits. Restore the Newt Gingrich era Welfare Reforms. Remigrate the foreign born population. The last will reduce impact on society infrastructure, education, health care, roads, etc and open up jobs for native born Americans who remain stuck at only 60% employment levels. This will also bring in added revenue. The combination of paired with some minor increases in Medicare SSI taxes, some increases in the upper marginal taxes and corporate taxes, together with tarrifs and duties will instantly out the US on sound financial footing. Note this will reduce interest rates as well whose payments now add 1 trillion dollars a year alone in our budget deficit.

      Here is how we compare

      1940s (World War II Peak): Reached a massive 118% in 1946 to fund the war effort.

      1950s–1970s (The Post-War Drop): Fell steadily due to rapid post-war economic growth. It hit a modern low of 31% to 32% by 1980/1981.

      1980s–1990s (The Rebound): Climbed up to ~65% due to Cold War military spending and domestic tax cuts, before briefly stabilizing in the late 1990s.

      2000s (The Great Recession): Jumped from roughly 55% to over 80% following the 2008 global financial crisis and subsequent banking bailouts.

      2010s (Steady Growth): Hovered around 100% to 105% as government spending consistently outpaced tax revenues.

      2020s (The Modern Era): Shot up past 129% during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, it remains elevated at 126% due to growing interest costs on the overall $40 trillion national debt.

      • The deficit is a big problem. If nothing else, the interest payments alone are a taxpayer’s river of money going to wealthy individuals and foreigners, some to domestic entities. Government indebtedness is just another tax the scumbags in Congress don’t have to vote into effect directly and better than nine out of ten people can never figure out.

        The deficit is caused by the Government spending too much. Period. Much of this spending, the largest single share, is spent on so-called “defense” i.e. waging wars of varying intensity around the world constantly. These wars and associated “defense” spending are a mortal threat to the existence of the U.S., contributing to the bankruptcy of the country and an influx of wogs into the U.S. and the West generally.

        The argument that these wars serve the interests of the U.S. is ludicrous. They flood the U.S. and other countries with wogs, cause raging inflation, increased debts, kill and maim many people, strengthen China and cause a backlash of terrorism. Unless one believes these things are good for the U.S. the only logical, rational, conclusion based upon history since 1945 (i.e. Korean War, Vietnam, two Iraq Wars, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iran etc.) is that these wars are unnecessary, foolish, self-destructive and no longer sustainable anyway.

        The U.S. is in a unique position running deficits because the U.S. prints the world’s reserve currency. The geniuses running the country are fixing that problem by sanctioning half the world, cutting them off from the USD system and seizing foreign assets. Combined with raging inflation since the 1960’s the Epstein Class is in the process of destroying confidence in the USD which will end its reserve status. The “King of Debt” is accelerating these destructive trends with his vastly unpopular war against Iran for the benefit of Our Greatest Ally only, definitely not the U.S.

        We will enjoy more wogs, more inflation, more deficits, conscription and more terrorism because of this latest war.

  2. That is what happens when you do two major tax cuts without cutting spending, which is politically driven by entitled Baby Boomers. Then you have Trump’s multifaceted war on the economy and resulting dedollarization dragging down GDP even further. Then you had the fiscal and monetary bonanza of COVID, again driven by elderly, sickly Boomers greedily clinging to their life and ill gotten wealth. People think it was wokies only. No, the lockdowns were the result of an elderly, risk averse, lopsided society: Boomers.

    2016 was a disaster. Trump and the Republican party have done every conceivable thing possible to destroy the currency.

  3. I used to think Ross Perot was a political failure. After all, Clinton implemented the opposite of Perot’s preferred policy on almost every issue.

    ALMOST every issue. But on one issue, the issue Perot cared about the most, Clinton did exactly what Perot wanted: he paid down the debt.

    Maybe that was the plan all along – Perot kneecaps the Republicans, and in return Clinton pays down the debt (lower military spending, keep taxes high for the rich, and even cut some welfare spending).

    Even so, the unsustainable high capital gains tax revenue from the dotcom bubble gave Clinton more fiscal success than he really deserved.

  6. This debt is due to one thing, and one thing only: Federal government spending. The solution is simple: cut the Federal government down to size (by a good 90%, in other words). If anyone on here knows any Federal employees or contractors (including military), you will be aware of just how much waste, fraud, and corruption goes on. So to reduce the national debt, we need to reduce the national government. Foreigners are already heading for the exits when it comes to Treasuries, as they can see nobody in Washington is really serious about it.

  7. The claims that Clinton brought the deficit to zero in 1998 or that there was a budget surplus allowing for the elimination of the debt by 2013 had Clinton’s methods been followed are not true. For the deficit to be zero, the debt would have had to remain the same from one year to the next (i.e. no new borrowing). For there to be a surplus, the debt would have had to decrease from one year to the next, assuming the surplus was used to pay down the debt.

    The US Treasury has a webpage with historical data for the “Debt to the Penny”. What decreased across the years 1997 to 2000 was the debt held by the public. However, the intragovernmental debt increased all those years by more than the publicly held debt decreased. The total debt, therefore, increased each of those years. The last time the national debt actually went down that I am able to ascertain based on TaxProject.org data is going from 1956 to 1957.

    • Correct, and it needs to be said that Clinton did not actually bring new debt to zero nor that his “methods” would have brought the U.S. Government’s debt to zero by 2013. Clinton did not originate those specious claims AFAIK but once those false claims got out in the wild he claimed credit for being more “fiscally conservative” than the Republicans. Clinton ran with that falsehood because it was politically beneficial but he knew it was just accounting sleight of hand, the indebtedness of the U.S. Government just kept increasing.

      It’s like taking credit for slowing down a locomotive (temporarily) from 100 MPH to 75 MPH before it goes over a cliff.

      Paradoxically that would make things worse, because without the debt stimulus unemployment would rise, personal spending would drop (new taxes) and federal and state revenue would drop, making the deficits worse.
      The economy needs an ever increasing deficit just to maintain our current level of activity.
      They must increase the debt just to make interest payments on the current debt.

  16. Bill Clinton gutted America. He gutted the American economy and his crime network systematically covered it up nationwide, because hey, the Democrat Racketteera are a national system, Trump’s self serving group is just a family. Clinton’s economy was based on the biggest fraud ever committed in US history. It also destroyed America’s military supremacy setting it back nearly 10 years thereby allowing a host of enemies to catch up. Immigration swamped America’s coastal areas permanently ending their white and Republicans leaning majorities. There was nothing good about it except the fact the Soviet Union had been taken off the board and its troublemaking ways weren’t afflicting us so much. Instead other things festered in the dark and came down on us like a lightning bolt just a few months after he left office. But you of course ignore this and just want to feed us TDS Propaganda from the Democrat Party telling us how great the Clinton years were. What a bunch of crock.

    For example, it consisted of fraudulent corporate balance sheets on down to fraudulent ratings agencies to fraudulent management and account consulting companies. All to disguise the actual loss of income whilst creating the global financial arbitrage system to sheep dip it permanently into Wall Street. This was exposed destroying two ratings agencies and two accounting management consulting companies that had been around for hundred years. I literally got a front row seat in it to watch vast sums of money being sent direct from the US to Chicoms and Mexicans and see the last American merchant vessels loaded up with US industrial machinery and refineries for one way voyages to the Far East. I watched feds even throw their arms up in exasperation as the systemic fraud became too big to handle.

    This was the era when Guiliani pivoted from Mafia Racketeering investigations to Corporate Racketeerkng before being stopped directly by the Clinton Administration. The FBI almost nailed the biggest Agricultural conglomerate titans in the country for creating fraudulent trading systems only for the investigation to be stopped by the Clintons. You now live with that fraudulent Agriculture system and complain it’s Trump that is causing your beef from Argentina to explode in price while the fields outside your town are empty of cattle.

    Under Clinton, the US industrial machine was crippled and mostly shipped to China making America’s greatest existential enemy in its history since the Powatan Confederacy in Jamestown. Likewise, Clinton started the fraud of counting illegals turned back at the border as deportations even while Tyson Chicken bought out the last of the chicken farms in the South fired their white and black workers and brought in illegals whose children now routinely smash up your car. Illegal aliens surged to record numbers swamping states like California while states in Alabama still used Black labor for a few more years before they were let go and moved to your nearby city turning it from majority White to majority Black.

    Finally, the US military industrial complex was gutted. Millions of Americans lost their jobs and saw their neighborhoods on California and the southwest become ghettos was plastic surgeons built missions in the Hollywood Hills, and Sand N@ggers armed themselves to the teeth blowing away American subalterns, proxies and allows across the third world. Meanwhile, NATO bombed the shit out of Serbians fighting Sand N@ggers in Bosnia and NATO Specops looked for massed graves of Bosnian bodies whilst ignoring Creation and Serbian mass graves. They also searched for Bosnian little children while American and European little children were disappearing on record numbers as they were systematically raped by Cartels and Moslem rape gangs, while the more beautiful disappeared within a complex sex trafficking industry that had one of Bill Clinton’s best buddies running it, Jeff Epstein.

    Financial shenanigans and trade arbitrage using debt, allowed vast amounts of money to create tech bubbles, gird the housing market, and gentrify undervalued prime real estate damaged by generations of Black occupation further disguised the reality. It was just gussying up an old whore, because it was cheap and all based on financialization. The entire era was based on bullshit and here you are just sucking in the b.s. with Democrat bovine excrement dripping from you mouth tell us how Herpes infected Bill Clinton was the last hero just so you can own DJT. We are entirely in this mess because of things that dirty son of biatch did to us, including gutting our military complex so we can barely fight a ton pot dictatorship of Sand N@gggers unless we mass mobilize the country. But to own DJT and broom sweep him out by calling for the second coming of Herpes Infected Bill, your willing to spread this propoganda. Ick.

      Clinton allowing China permanent Most Favored Nation status was possibly his worst decision, enabling millions of American industrial jobs to be shipped there. This was not reversed or mitigated by either GWB or Obama.

      • “Military Industrial Complex was fully ramped up post-911 and we are still living with the consequences of that.”

        No, we never even came close to recovering what we had in 1991 and certainly in 1989. The military industrial complex was never fully ramped up. It barely was able to keep up with fighting GWOT let alone like the Iran conflict now and certainly not China. Clinton destroyed that base utterly. Arguably, much of the peace dividend cuts were already planned by GWB. But Clinton took the defense cuts to a whole new level. Had we kept to GWB’s be plan it would’ve been 50% smaller, leaving us still the bedrock to rebuild as necessary. Clinton categorically defanged the military industrial machine and turned it into a shadow of itself.

        Clinton’s peace dividend cuts were massive. We went from 50 military prime contractor to the 4 we now have. Clinton just brought them all together in a single meeting and said one by one you are fired, you are fired, you are fired, until he whittled it down to 7. Consolidation and bankruptcy eliminated another 2.

        A real world example of what this cost us is found in the inability to persecute the war with Iran due to loss of munitions. 36 years ago we were capable of building 900 cruise missiles a year without even a sweat. Now, we can barely manage a 100. Think of it. With all the advancements in industrialization we are at a tenth of the production ability. That is a hard level now. Back in the Reagan era we could expand pretty rapidly. Impossible to scale further now. Trump says we are building back bigger than ever. Bullshit. It will take 5 to 7 years to expand to the levels they say they will have which based on past performance is also bullshit.

        The US never rebuilt it’s munition levels during GWOT to what it had from the Cold War. The reserves of munitions it had were reduced during the first Gulf war and never recovered. Clinton blew thru more our reserves in his raids on Serbia and Iraq. Our smart munitions were still low when the 2nd Gulf War started. All one has to see is the difference between shock and awe 1991 and shock and awe 2003. Big difference. Bush II was able to ramp up some production but it was marginal. I think we got up to about 150 maybe 200 cruise missiles a year. Given our use of it during that period all we ended up doing was finishing off the last of the Cold War era missiles. Worse, one of the facilities shut down around 2006 or so and left us to where we are today.

        We cant build anything close to the level we had 20 years ago let alone 36 years ago. Thanks to one, that is ONE single guy, who will remain unnamed, the US might have a chance to rebuild. But, the legacy workers who could retool us, rebuild the machines, etc to get there are mostly retired and one foot in the grave. Trump is the last President who could order rebuilding the defense industrial base via that one guy’s shepherding of resources, but of course Trump is blowing this opportunity. In a war with China we are done at the current levels. The next two years are the most vulnerable window this country has faced since WWII or actually ever. They Chinese can build 250 warships to every 1 of ours. They can build orders of magnitude more missiles and planes. We are a walking dead man. Every minute Trump fucks around on not putting us into emergency wartime footing command economy is one minute closer to doomsday. Hunter though would rather grill and chill and support Black Supremacy to get even rid of Trump and replace him with some Sand N@gger Chicom lover.

    • Largely true. Beelzebubba Llord Hee-Haw of Arkansas was a disaster in every way. He also committed high treason with his pal Bernie Schwartz of Loral who sold MIRV-tech to China who advanced their own missile program by years for pennies. The Gay Old Pedos, also pals of Jeff Epstein like Beelzebubba and Donigula, did nothing as usual – except for their ridiculous impeachment attempt over Billy getting a Lewinsky in the Oval Office. Clinton was easily one of the very worst nominal presidents along with Wilson and FDR. Looks like he and his witch of a wife will totally skate on all manner of crimes. Finest system that money can buy. Totally corrupt from top to bottom.

    There are some good things happening in the world, we just need to point our people in good directions. Look at Poland.

    When I’m down and depressed about our people being insulted, attacked and worse, I like to watch animal videos especially African lioness with their lion cubs, Gurillas in Uganda.

    I also enjoy the genre of beautiful White moms loving and educating their cute little White tykes. I love our best White moms.

    • I fully encourage the Ellis Island Papist Rif Raf to remigrate to Eastern Europe, such as Poland like for Clytemnestra, or even Western Europe like Italy for some of the Itais here. Their White demographics are better than our own by far. The main mitigating issues are continuee migration, geographic proximity to MENA, and low birth rates. The later are only marginally worse than in the US. Their low access to firearms is an issue to but that can be overcome as well as American immigrants to Europe would be useful proxies for lobbying for 2nd amendment rights or at the bare least for smuggling them into Europe.

      But, I think these Europeans will pull thru in time. Unlike in the US, they have a vigorous and not retarded Nationalist Rightwing. Most are rooted in some sort of Christianity although not as much as Christian Nationalists would want. Essentially what Europe needs is an evangelical Christian rebirth and it would easily overcome its decline and become the anchor of Western European civilization. Either way its got a long ways to fall to catch up to the US and it has viable leaders to do it.

      In comparison America has well, neo isolationist Nazi symps, neo isolationist capitalist symps, neo isolationist multicultist symps, various grouping of red and black and brown brigades and a countrywide white population that is only 57 percent and dropping fast. If I were an Ellis Islander like Clytemnestra I would be moving to Poland fast. Someone like Hunter, well he’s on the road to myscegination now that he’s turned to Black Supremacy to use to attack his opponents. This is the same thing the Colonial Spaniards did with Indians ro fight the Peninsular Spaniards. Look where that got them. Remigration to Europe, especially America’s Ellis Island immigrant population is a good escape route off the SS Titanic America.

  19. @Aryan Globalist Bro:

    President William Jefferson Clinton’s Court Jews didn’t wreak the same kind of havoc that President Donald John Trump Senior’s do, because they were sure to remain in the background OR it was simply a case of the Clintons telling THEIR Court Jews, “Here, boys, step back and let me show you how it’s done.”

    The reason Clinton was able to sign NAFTA in and enable his corporate crony to both outsource industrial labor to China and India and insource processing plants to illegal aliens is because he knew how to kiss those whom he screwed.

    Old Slick Willie would look sad and say “I feel your pain,” to the American blue collar class while cheerfully looting the country along with his corporate cronies.

    Contrast THAT to Donald John Trump Jr. saying “I don’t care how Americans are suffering from higher gas prices” and the Suck It Up Buttercup Messages from his mouthpieces in the Media as WELL as the Repulsive Duo, Mark Levin and Benjamin Shapiro.

    Trump will go down as the worst POTUS in history, but being the Middle Child on Steroids that Trump is, even BAD attention is better than NONE AT ALL. I just hope and pray that JD Vance and members of his cabinet have plans in place that do some damage control. Because if Trump can’t get this stupidity with IRAQ wrapped up by the elections, JD Vance and Marco Rubio are definitely screwed unless the Zionists count the votes the next two elections.

    A Mexican PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) member Carlos (Hank) Gonzalez once said, “a poor politician is a POOR politician!” My personal addendum to that quote is that an HONEST politician is a POOR politician is a poor POLITICIAN. Unlike many of our posters here refuse to accept, political success often requires financial backing.

    Exhibit A: Ron Paul who racked up a lot of legislative activity, but got not a single one of them passed into law, i.e. abolition of income tax, federal reserve reform, defense of civil liberties, and a non-interventionist foreign policy. He was never able to chair a single committee that would have his legislation and put up for a vote.

    Exhibit B: Thomas Massie (who obviously styled himself after a cross between John “Maverick” McCain and Ron Paul) He sponsored and passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Resolution on Sexual Misconduct Settlements, and various bills dealing with fiscal responsibilities and civil liberties. The bills he sponsored and passed seemed, by design, to hurt Republicans more than Democrats. He DID chair the Committee on the Judiciary, though he had the most success getting bills through that protects Intellectual Property but not much else.

    Keeping Hank Gonzalez’s admonition in mind, a dishonest politician can be a good POLITICIAN can be a RICH politician IF he always, always, gives a LOT back to his constituents who then put him back into office where he can do some horse trading and make some sweetheart deals.

    EXHIBIT A-Z: Senator Robert S. Byrd, West Virginia. He got so much pork back for his district that there is a statue of Byrd in the West Virginia State Capitol. He stands head and shoulders above Joe Manchin, who vowed to fight for West Virginians, but decided not to run again in 2024 after he was strong-armed by Chuck Schumer and his thugs to vote for a bill that did not only not help but hurt West Virginians.

      “President William Jefferson Clinton’s Court Jews didn’t wreak the same kind of havoc that President Donald John Trump Senior’s do, because they were sure to remain in the background OR it was simply a case of the Clintons telling THEIR Court Jews, “Here, boys, step back and let me show you how it’s done.””

      You will never get me or any honest histian to believe the damage caused under Trump is worse then the damage under Clinton. In fact it’s the exact opposite. We actually are deindustrializing. Tarrif protected industries are actually increasing production and there is no tariff inflation. The problem is it’s too haphazard and moving to slowly. Protectionism works but it works better when systemically implemented.

      Clinton was the opposite of protectionism. He literally deconstructed American industry. At mass levels. The effects on the country and it’s people were totally devestating. CNN did a generational report on some families from that eraz the intervening time period and today. It will absolutely break your heart. Clinton, that dirty evil EVIL son of a bitch did that.

      Clinton sold the Chinese America’s industrial heart. Huge giant furnaces to make massive high quality steel which require, get this YEARS to hear up were sold to China for them to reverse engineer and improve. Clintons free trade programs and above all his asset stripping if American industrial capitalism vaulted the Chinese into super power status and made the third world a power to contend with all to enrich some Wall Street financiers off the arbitrage of our future. Clinton was total schmbag so of course Hunter wants to celebrate him because he’s a Democrat.

    • You seriously underestimate the extent of damage done by the Clinton machine and the Jewish mob embedded therein. They basically stripped away the industrial infrastructure of the United States and sold it on the cheap to the Chinese – for a percent of the vast sums of money to be made by importing everything from China. Ross Perot’s ‘giant sucking sound’ wasn’t coming so much from Mexico (who served as a massive port of entry via NAFTA) as it was from China.

    • Brian,

      I remember you from last year. We both agreed on the slavery issue. I left last year with anger including insulting the South since I equated my enemies that way. I take back my insults to the South. There are times when I am like a scorpion.

      • Welcome back.

        I guess your reply was meant for me, Secesh? (I have never used “Brian” before but I have been called a lot worse.) But I do remember we discussed slavery.

        I am thinking AI may replace slavery as the big national issue. It has a lot of parallels with the institution. Maybe one day the states in the USA will be divided between the Free states (no AI) vs AI states. Maybe this time the Free states can successfully secede.

        (But the “evil” AI states will use their AI advantage to try to force the Free states to become captive slave-states like the South was made captive to serve their ever growing AI projects which will eventually move these monster data centers up into space.)

        We’ll see.

        • Secesh,

          Even on this website I thought your devotion to the South stood out. Thank you for your charitable response.

          I guess I have not given that much thought to AI. There is already so much to be concerned with as it is. Yet I will add AI to other sources of danger.

    • I’ve no doubt that the Kushner-Krime family and other in the Chabad network (whose ring was duly kissed by the Gay-Muslim pretending to be mayor) have the bottom set and will pounce the second it is reached. They may well end up owning most of the real-estate in the city. After that takes place, the Imam Madami will be removed and the prices and rents will be allowed to soar.

      • Moamar Qaddafi Mamdami won’t be removed from office anymore than other tinpot sh!thole tyrants like Jungle N@ggers Mugabe and Ramapoopy where ever removed. Rather the elite will take a haircut and GTFO leaving only vestigial bit highly valued property as stay behind with which to bribe said tyrant. Meanwhile people like Trump will disperse their holdings across various sectors and fly across burning parts of the world still living as before, with just minor adjustments, and lots of security. You however will be starving fighting hordes of third Worlders over that loaf of bread that fell off the armored UN truck. Enjoy you loss of Empire moron.
