UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to the White House.
Trump has repeatedly said that work on the ballroom is privately funded by himself and donors and will cost nothing to taxpayers.
On Wednesday, Trump discussed his plans for the ballroom, saying it will cost “about $300 million.” The administration previously put the cost of the ballroom project at $200 million.
But you cut funds to low income families, health care, job core, etc
Fucking devils

this loon won't make it another 6 months....messing around with those folks money
I had a conversation with my wife on these policies and she alluded to say he wants to remake the US into Russia where the rich are fat, people suffer and the perceived weak die.
I feel like this dude is the last person that should be poking anybody's mafia.
When I was in college, we had a computer system admin that was an absolute tool. He kept telling people that they couldn't use the computers on campus for certain things (even when there was mad availability), and talking about how there were inexpensive ISPs that could be bought to people who couldn't actually afford computers.
Then one day, according to my sources, he apparently pissed off this group of hackers by fucking with their work instead of just blocking them or deleting it. So said hackers proceeded to fuck with him persistently. One of my friends was interviewing with some FBI recruiters, and he said that when he mentioned our guy's name, they response was, "Oh, that guy?" You never want to be on the FBI's radar as "the guy that fucked up".
Anyway, that's the vibe that Patel gives me. Poking a hornet's nest and ain't got enough Raid to deal with it.
So much racism but fuck'em all.
Fuck that puppet
ObamaCare price jump hits Idaho first as shutdown deal remains elusive

Idaho consumers are getting the nation’s first look at price increases hitting Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans as the federal tax credits that helped to trigger a government shutdown expire.
Idaho’s marketplace open enrollment began Oct. 15, as the future of enhanced premium tax credits remains in limbo. Marketplace customers will see markedly higher premiums than last year if the credits are not extended.
“On average, gross premiums, or the overall cost of the premium, has gone up about 10 percent. And the net premium, or the amount the consumer pays after the tax credit has been applied, has increased about 75 percent,” Pat Kelly, executive director of Your Health Idaho, told The Hill.
“So, those are averages across all of our enrollees, but it does give an indication of overall increase and then increase to what the consumer actually pays.”
The enhanced premium tax credits were created through the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021 and extended to the end of 2025 by the Inflation Reduction Act, enabling households with incomes higher than 400 percent of the federal poverty level to benefit from lowered premiums.
Kelly estimates that about 13,000 of the roughly 135,000 enrollees in Idaho’s marketplace earn more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level. If Congress takes no action, those people will no longer be able to receive credits, though projections indicate that the vast majority of this cohort will remain insured if that does occur.
Many Idahoans will be automatically reenrolled into their plans under their new rates, potentially leaving some people unaware of the upcoming spike in their monthly costs.
Access to tax credits won’t be affected by income alone — age and residency also factor into eligibility.
Premium tax credits are based on the second-lowest cost Silver plan in a customer’s area. Because younger customers typically pay less than older customers, they are more likely to be ineligible for the credits even if they make below 400 percent of the federal poverty level.
According to Gideon Lukens, director of research and data analysis on the health policy team for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the difference that Idahoans will see does not “stand out as particularly large.” Giving the example of a 60-year-old couple in Idaho, Lukens noted they could expect an increase in their annual premium by $18,000, which is close to the expected average…

At this stage I'm starting to believe he'll have to be forcefully removed from office if he hijacks the election next November. Civil unrest will ensue across the county and not in just a few cities. All normal rules will be out the windows across both sides of the isle.
That's unsustainable and will fuck up the economy and Republicans will have their hand forced to get him up out of there. Markets don't like uncertainty, how you think it's gonna react to basically a civil war in the streets.
