What does project 2025 say about getting rid of porn? The Heritage Foundation would take that approach. Meanwhile, I’m curious if there’s any research exploring whether pornography actually stops pedophiles and rapists from acting on their urges.

Clinical social worker here, whose niche is working with survivors of sexual violence. Porn has actually been linked to increased normalization of sexual violence and negative views about women.

Trump is about vengeance and hatred. He will eradicate all the individuals who made fun of him, won against him, proved he is a thief, a traitor, and liar. So, now it is dark revenge.. He will not stop until he is finished. No principles, no humanity, nothing. It is beyond belief.

His ego was hurt, and bruised by the narratives of the heads of states around the world who implied he was an idiot. Now, he is at war... TARIFFS, TARIFFS AND DEPORTATION.... AUTOCRAT...

And that’s why I’m not calling for his resignation anymore, I’m calling for elimination of a global terrorist (him and his administration). They cannot be allowed to exist anymore.

I would like Congress to do its JOB and bring impeachment proceedings for his blatant power grab by declaring immigration a national emergency. His "efforts" have proven to be a national disaster. Wait until harvest season arrives. In addition to the markets having moved on, domestically grown produce will have no harvesters.

I couldn’t agree more! This whole presidency for him is a damn joke and we are all sitting ducks. He has really f’ed the US up and someone has to stop him. His GOP party needs to get their damn party together and shut this down.

His reason is = he hates America. They stopped loaning him money, he was a high loss risk b/c he never paid his bills. Russia was the only place that would lend him money! He's all about retribution - that is what he is doing to the US. Trying to destroy it as pay back! IMO

Dichelle has the facts right. Only one bank would loan him money. My brain hasn't kicked in yet this AM, so I don't have its name handy, but I believe it started with a "C" and was maybe two words.... But now, he's using the American economy as his money pit. That isn't going to end too well for us.

Dichelle's avatar

Hi ~ There are actually several articles dating back to the 80's on how banks thought he was a risk and refused to loan to him. There were up to 70 US banks that wouldn't loan to him (search at npr, cnn money & financial times). Several of the loans from Deutsche were co-signed by russian oligarchs (lawandcrime.com article).

I listened to Hopium Chronicles substack by Simon Rosenberg - he is saying so clearly our country is in the hands of a madman. He was reported on fr the beginning as if he were normal and that normalized , for 10 years now, his insanity. There is no real math behind the tariffs nothing. He is just creating chaos. Exerting sick power.

It’s not for no reason. It’s strategic. The rich always get richer during a recession. Also, by implementing these tariffs he has a grip over companies, and if they want an exemption from the tariffs, they have to swear their loyalty to him. This is just an other control tactic

Can the Grassley (R-IA)-Cantwell (D-WA) bipartisan Senate bill introduced yesterday to reclaim Congressional control over tariffs stop this? Can it pass both houses and undo this?

Expand full comment
Taylor's avatar

Senator Grassley introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, bringing tariff oversight back to Congress where it belongs. This needs to happen ASAP. I already called my senator and my representative and left a message of support with Senator Grassley. I encourage you to call today. Here is a script you can read (courtesy of ChatGPT) -

"Hello, my name is [your name], and I am a constituent from [your county and state]. I'm reaching out to express my strong support for the Trade Review Act of 2025, recently introduced by Senators Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell. This bipartisan legislation seeks to restore Congress's constitutional authority over trade policy by requiring congressional approval for any new tariffs imposed by the executive branch. Given the significant impact that tariffs can have on our economy and local communities, it's crucial that such decisions undergo proper legislative oversight. I urge [Senator/Representative's Name] to support this important bill to ensure transparent and balanced trade policies that benefit all Georgians. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter."

Thank you! Doing now.

5 Calls app (free download) makes it so easy to call any rep and any Senator...*

For those who don't use the app Capitol Switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 and you can ask for anybody's office.

*on 5 Calls app you can click the ... three dots and the district office numbers pop up I was just able to leave a message on Sen. Grassley line in Des Moines through that function, which is good if voice mail is full.

Otherwise, email through his website!

Krasnov pussy ass bitch needs to be in an asylum not the oval office. He and the project 2025 folks and CEO need to go to prison!!! They have this in their evil manifesto. Destroy the economy and have the citizens submit. Mofos. And Krasnov mussolini is happy as a clam putting these policies forth because he's evil and loves to inflict pain. These people are all sociopaths.

Yup. The price of computers, phones, tvs & other electronics are about to cost way more. It’s like people forget that most of the products we use in the US have parts or the whole item made from other countries (mostly from Asian countries) that he places the highest tariffs on.
