IRS not allowed to audit Trump family's current taxes... When Trump is also BILLIONS richer than he was in 2024..... MAGA YOU CORRUPT FUCKS

IRS not allowed to audit Trump family's current taxes... When Trump is also BILLIONS richer than he was in 2024..... MAGA YOU CORRUPT FUCKS

Right before the midterms where trump is terrified Democrats will be voted in and start prosecuting him.

The literal wording, "IRS could not audit Trump's tax returns filed before Monday or ‌any ⁠matters that were raised or could have been raised."

And this is Trump settling with his former defense attorney... Oh I mean current Attorney General of the Department of Justice that Trump himself appointed.

No judge was involved.

That's not suspicious at allllll.

MAGA YOU CORRUPT TRAITORS

MAGA and the Contamination of Public Discourse - Should MAGA be Allowed on Subreddits?

The defining characteristic of modern MAGA politics increasingly appears not to be ideology but contradiction itself. Loyalty rises and falls not according to principle, consistency, or policy, but according to proximity to a single figure and whatever position happens to be useful in the moment. Figures once praised become traitors overnight. Behaviour once mocked becomes acceptable when performed by the right person. Policies once condemned become noble when wearing a different jersey. Political movements built upon values can survive disagreement. Movements built upon personality eventually consume their own logic.

That contradiction carries a cost beyond elections or policy disputes because it corrodes the very idea of discourse. Productive discussion requires at least a shared commitment to standards. Facts should matter. Principles should remain recognisable from one day to the next. Arguments should survive contact with consistency. Yet communities often find themselves exhausted by participants whose positions seem to shift according to tribal instinct rather than coherent belief. Discussion becomes less an exchange of ideas and more an endless exercise in chasing moving goalposts across the field.

Online communities therefore face an uncomfortable question. Their purpose is not merely unrestricted noise but the cultivation of spaces where people can actually communicate. Moderation exists to preserve conversation, not bury it. When any movement or faction repeatedly rewards bad faith engagement, outrage, and perpetual antagonism, communities eventually begin asking whether preserving discourse sometimes requires drawing firmer boundaries. A room filled with smoke eventually stops being a place for conversation and becomes a place people quietly abandon.

Their inevitable reply is almost ritualistic. Accusations of censorship will arrive immediately, accompanied by solemn lectures about free speech and open dialogue. Yet the principle suddenly becomes negotiable when criticism is directed at Trump himself. The same voices that invoke liberty as sacred often applaud threats against networks, journalists, comedians, or critics who dare mock or challenge him. The contradiction is difficult to ignore. What appears to be desired is not a robust culture of free expression but a one way arrangement in which outrage flows outward and criticism is prohibited from returning. Free speech, in that framework, ceases to be a principle and becomes a shield for grievance. Communities eventually recognise that dynamic for what it is: not discourse, but a corrosive force that rewards hostility while treating empathy, consistency, and reason as adversaries rather than virtues.

The irony is almost impossible to miss. Many conservative online spaces openly defend banning dissenting voices as a means of preserving ideological purity and shielding themselves from what they describe as hostile outside influence. They frame exclusion as protection when they do it, then recast it as oppression when other communities enforce their own standards. By their own logic, communities possess the right to define the culture they wish to cultivate. If one genuinely believes in treating others as one wishes to be treated, then the precedent being established is remarkably straightforward: spaces curate themselves, and others may choose to do exactly the same.

In the end, the argument is not fundamentally about left versus right, nor about suppressing disagreement. Communities survive through shared standards, good faith engagement, and a basic commitment to coherence. When contradiction becomes identity, grievance becomes currency, and discourse becomes a vehicle for perpetual hostility, people inevitably begin withdrawing from the conversation itself. Every community has the right to decide whether it wishes to cultivate discussion or merely host endless chaos. A space cannot remain healthy if its loudest participants treat dialogue as conquest rather than communication. Eventually the question ceases to be whether disruption should be tolerated. It becomes whether discourse itself can survive if it is not defended.

If communities permit perpetual bad faith and corrosive antagonism to metastasise unchecked, they risk surrendering the very conditions that make discourse possible. The choice, therefore, is not complicated but singular: preserve the republic of conversation, or watch it collapse beneath the weight of its own tolerated decay.

Absolutely no way.

This agreement must be treated with the contempt it deserves. There is no permanence. It was not agreed by a court or in law.

If another Congress cannot undo it, a change of administration must. There is absolutely no way that Trump, his family and his companies should be effectively tax exempt forever. If Trump can walk away from international agreements signed by the US, the US can walk away from this fake settlement.

Every year not investigated during his term must be investigated with the finest of combs under a new administration. Every MAGA that takes money from the slush fund must be forced to pay it back, with penal levels of interest, set at the minimal equivalent of student loan repayment rates.

Ever since Trump got elected again, people keep telling me to go back to my country. And I'm white

I'm an ethnically half white and half indian girl, don't know my indian side of the family since my dad (whose family legally immigrated here) abandoned me and my caucasian mother as a baby. I was born in rural America and look, act, and talk like every other American. I don't have ethnic features besides my light tan skin color. Skinny with casual athletic wear and long straight hair is how I usually look. People tell me I look pretty but I guess that doesn't matter.

Tell me why at work, old or middle aged people who are white Americans greet me in spanish. Sometimes black people do too. I'm not Hispanic. If I tell them I only speak English, they say "well you don't look like it!" and proceed to be rude through our interaction, other times random people will tell me to go back to my country in spanish or people tell me I will be deported/to go back to my country if I don't give them an answer they like. Usually it's a complete personality change from them being nice to instantly racist after I can't do something for them because of the policy.

This has never happened before, even in the rural town I grew up in as a kid no one said anything racist to me, until now. It's pretty much a weekly occurrence. It's starting to make me want nothing to do with anyone anymore.

All this is happening in a blue city and state. I really don't know how to get these racist people to leave me alone? I can't change my skin color. Also, I don't know what to say that won't get me fired.

disclaimer: just because I was born somewhere rural doesn't mean me or my mother is republican. we are against trump and this is not fake, this stuff all happened to me within the last year. Looking for advice or someone to vent to. I don't want upvotes. dms are also welcome

How many more people will Trump policy kill

The elimination of USAID by Trump and Musk’s DOGE has helped the spread of Ebola and killed 100’s and will kill more. If USAID were still available then this tragic disease would have been found and handled quicker. Fewer people would die. If the USA were still part of WHO it would have been handled better. Oh I know, we need that money to pay the people who attacked the Capitol and tried to end our democracy.

Nobody has mentioned this angle (that I know of)

This 1.8 billion dollar irs crap - he rewards the most brazen and irrational of his supporters, shows them that if they go to war for him so to speak, they win.

This will embolden his supporters, he won’t be ousted unless he leaves peacefully.

I understand how fragmented our institutions are and how difficult a coup would be for him to pull off - but it seems like he’s chipping away at it, significantly and without resistance.

This isn’t something to be ignored, this is dangerous.

The Republican Party has always been out of touch with the American public and we don't need to revive the old Republican Party back.

Most of the American public believed that the Democrats are out of touch with the American People and that causes the republicans to win the 2024 election. But what I still see from republicans is that all of their policies are actually out of touch with the American public because they only serve to enrich themselves. And the thing that confuses me is that people wanted to "revive" the old Republican party back, in order to get the stain of MAGA off the party. But I would say that the old republican party was just a bad as the MAGA Republican Party.

The reason why we don't need to revive the old republican part back is that while MAGA is the ultimate goal of the party, the republican party and its policies were and still are destructive and created the nightmare that we're seeing today.

With regards to their domestic policies, can anyone name one policy that conservatives/right wing republicans were on the correct side of history. The Patriot Act and Trickle down economics, their stances on these polices in which the majority of Americans vehemently disagree with.

Are Democrats perfect, no of course not. But people need to not romanticize through rose tinted goggles at the old Republican party and when I say "old", I men anything after 1964. Their policies are draconian and they haven't improved the lives of many Americans in 60 years.

That 1.8 billion fund... NO ONE sees what it really is...🤑

Don the con has never cared to pay or reimburse anyone, EVER... you think he really gives a fig about the PAST??? They already came out and did his dirty work once, of their own volition. But many of them paid for it in the courts. They might think twice if he tries to rile them up again... Unless he sweetens the pot! He is 100% transactional. If he gives that money to those Jan 6ers, I guarantee it will come with strings attached... it will be an ADVANCE for work yet to come. Whether it's "poll work" in November, or another coup in 2028, the recipients of that money will OWE him. I haven't heard a single person consider that...

Trump has exploited anger.

That’s what he has done. He sucked the joy out of all of our lives, and he exploits the anger that people feel about some things and really rode it all the way home to get back into the White House and now destroy all of our lives once again for his own personal gain. I hope you guys enjoy being angry and destroying the world!

I genuinely hope Adobe goes out of business

Adobe’s a shitty company for various reasons and i’ve hated them for years but this admittedly petty grievance is the last straw. I hate those stupid fucking Adobe Acrobat skits as ads on YouTube, the ones where they use millennial humor to shove their AI bullshit down your gullet. I keep getting them and no matter how hard I try, Adobe won’t fuck off. It’s genuinely one of the most annoying advertisements on the planet and I hope Adobe’s profits take a nosedive and they shut down so I can celebrate when I finally stop getting their shitty unfunny bullshit on my screen.

Elon Musk's baby mama Ashley St. Clair reveals that he used "space technology" in the 2024 election and implies that he STOLE it for Donald Trump

Elon Musk's baby mama reveals that he used "space technology" in the 2024 election and implies that he STOLE it for Donald Trump.

This deserves a full federal investigation by Democrats...

"In October, Elon tells me that he is ready to release his, in his words 'anomaly in the matrix' And I am like, oh, like, who's that? And he says that he has 10,000 lasers in space, referring to his satellites," said Ashley St. Clair, one of the many women whom Musk has impregnated and then promptly began treating like dirt.

"I say, because I am like, rather uncomfortable, and I know the gravity of what he's trying to tell me right now. I say, 'Wow, finally, a focus on the Jewish vote. He keeps going," she continued. "And he says, you know, this is not something on, this is not a piece that they'll see on the chessboard."

"And I straight up tell him, I say, I would ask more, but I really don't want to be deposed, to which he says, very wise," she added.

The implication here is clearly that Musk was doing something illegal and that St. Clair wanted plausible deniability.

"Shortly after that, you know, he's involved with AmericaPAC and all of this other stuff, and he's sending me some internal data from AmericaPAC, real time delta vote metrics," recounted St. Clair. "And I am just like, how the f*ck do you have this sort of data? You don't get this from door knocking, because one of my first jobs in politics was in campaigns and cleaning up this bad data from door knocking, because the vendors that AmericaPAC is using at this point is a vendor that hires Craigslist crackheads for door knocking. And I wish I was exaggerating there, but I'm not."

St. Clair said that she now recognizes that she "caused harm" with her "rhetoric" when she was leaning into being a far-right persona, but claimed that she only ever wanted what's "best" for America. Clearly, she feels that she can no longer in good conscience remain silent on 2024.

"And one thing is I have always, always hated big tech," she said. "So then to have arguably the most powerful man in the world, who is sending me things about, you know, using his space technology in the election. I should also say that I have all of this backed up with many people with explicit instructions, should anything happen to me, okay."

"But this was something that I was internally wrestling with, while publicly not really showing that I was having any of these internal ethical conflicts with myself regarding this information," she went on.

"And then on election night itself, Elon, you know, left Mar-a-Lago early. I was at Mar-a-Lago and he told me, he told me over text, he's like, 'Yeah, I knew hours ago that Trump won. My team has the best real-time data anywhere,'" said St. Clair.

"First of all, how the f*ck do you have real-time data on elections?" she continued. "How do you have real-time data? I could not understand that. I don't know that I ever will. I just, I saw some shit, guys. Like, I saw some shit and I'm fighting really hard to keep my voice because I saw shit that impacts everyone. And if I was self-interested, I have been offered the self-interested deal to shut up and not talk about anything. But what I can tell you is I've not been offered certain deals just because I know that he's weird."

"Okay. I saw some shit," she concluded.

This woman must be immediately subpoenaed to testify before Congress under oath about the "shit" that she saw. If Elon Musk — who spent $291 million to help Republicans win during the 2024 cycle — really used his technology to illegally interfere in our elections, he must be prosecuted and imprisoned. And if any votes were tampered with, the election must be overturned!

Please like and share to demand a full investigation!

Let's SUE for TRUMP/GOP divulging our PERSONAL and PRIVATE Social Security data to Elon Musk's DOGE henchmen. We were treated very unfairly.

"A DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) staffer, identified in whistleblower complaints as software engineer John Solly, allegedly copied highly sensitive Social Security (SS) databases to a personal thumb drive and planned to share the information with his private employer, government contractor Leidos".

DOGE and MUSK were NOT elected to any office, and were given free reign to mine data from the Social Security databases. OUR ...YOURS AND MY private information.

We were treated SO unfairly and need to apply for compensation for that breach. And....we have to make clear that NO future examinations of our records, including our employment history, be made public.

Class Action suit should be filed by EVERY current and future Social Security recipient.
