General Trump Administration F**kery Thread (2025-2029)

That’s because there’s nothing to save for. People used to save up for a house or vacation. Nowadays the average American spends 60% of their money or more on housing, utilities, and groceries while two generations if not 3 are also drowning in predatory student loans. 25 years ago you could get a big house with a pool in a nice part of Orlando for less than $190,000. Now that house is valued at nearly $500,000. People were buying houses for less than $15,000 2 generations ago and now those houses are going for $500-600,000. People don’t bother trying to save when there’s no meaningful goal within reach.

This is something that really goes overlooked. I work with a lot of people that are in their early 20s, and that old suggestion of "Save until it hurts" is getting bushed expeditiously because the "Until it hurts" part of the equation is hitting early as shyt. If you're paying 60-70% of your income on housing and bills even with at least one roommate, then where is the saving supposed to come in? fukk being able to buy a home, there are young people with good stable jobs that have a long-term dream of being able to afford a one bedroom apartment solo.

shyt, there are even people in my age group (late 30s) that are rethinking their saving strategies because it's becoming increasingly unlikely that retirement is realistic, and you've got to start asking what good putting money away for future you does when current day you needs it to live right now.

Sounding like people should start lawyering up. Trump might have presidential immunity but everybody else doesn't.

I don't feel bad for the drunk but I feel a little sympathy for the minions that did the strikes. Guess they should have paid more attention to the don't follow illegal orders part in training.

I think that’s why the breh general in charge of the operations in the Caribbean is retiring at the end of the year.

So he got a MRI but somehow doesn't know where they did the scan. Make it make sense.

Damn...that username to post correlation is strong.

I do think people in general are getting worse with their money. I think a lot of the bytching about inflation from middle-class and young people was because DoorDash got even more expensive, which a lot of people I know feel entitled to. We hardly ever eat out anymore because of the prices (with three kids, it costs a fortune), plus it's better for your health not to.

Nah things generally are just more expensive and the wages haven't kept up. New cars under 20k barely exist nowadays, the ones that do are junk. everything has exploded in price over the last 5-10 years

The cheapest cars I see are Corollas, Sentras, and Civics which all start at basically $19,500 with no options whatsoever for a new one. A 10 year old Camry with 100,000+ miles still goes for over $10,000 on CARFAX or autotrader.

Anyone saying inflation and cost of living isn't a real issue for the working poor/middle class is clueless. We haven't even gotten into food, electricity gas etc

@ZcohenCNN
Leavitt said the strike was “conducted in self-defense to protect Americans” but declined to detail what threat was posed by the survivors.

She argued the boat was trafficking drugs & represented a threat to the US as a result. But when pressed on what danger the survivors of the first strike posed in its aftermath, she would not elaborate.


@atrupar
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Go watch die hard, specifically the scene where Al is getting snacks at the gas station for his wife. When he looks out towards the skyline you see the sign for the prices at the gas station. All 3 grades are less than $1 per gallon with each grade going up by roughly 10 cents per grade increase. Until last spring when I transferred where I was working to get to a location closer to home and not on the other side of a toll bridge, I was spending about $160 a month in gas for my work commute. That’s more than my phone bill and more than my monthly car insurance bill.

It’s the mindless pre written talking point that makes no sense like when they defend a hospital in occupied Palestine being bombed.

Hegseth and that Admiral are going to take the full blame of that strike. When playing super soldier goes wrong
