I don't understand how the EU censorship act can kill US social media. They don't have any jurisdiction to regulate US companies. They can say ISPs have to block it in the EU, say it's illegal for their citizens to look at it, but I don't see how they can kill it from existing outside their borders.

Fast and furious: that was the premise that would make the DMA’s enforcement effective. Overcompensating for past grievances in the application of Article 102 TFEU in the digital markets in terms of speed and remedies justifies the DMA’s need for having regulatory teeth. And teeth it has. On 22...

Fucking Socialists can't have their peasants reading or hearing unapproved information

It serves two common socialist purposes:
1- Tax big companies (they're all as broke as the US, some worse)
2- Censorship

^^^Yes, that is the case as I see it. Trump is acting different than before. Months ago I said I was afraid he was trying to do too much too quickly. Too many irons in the fire. I agree with a lot of the things he does, and dissagree with a lot of other things he does. But it is better than having Harris as POTUS. At least so far it is.

I truly wish Vivak had run against Harris. A lot of the problems are that it is all about Trump, TDS, not so much as about conservatives.

The thing is, he will not end the IRS. He will not annex Canada or Greenland. He will not deport all of the illegals. Hell the courts are stopping him from deporting the violent ones, they will never allow him to deport the non-violent ones. The DOGE savings keep disappearing from the website. Congress is not even trying to codify any of his orders. They are not doing shit.

In four years the dems will have the WH again. And we will be back in the same shit show.

PS: Today I got a letter and survey from Donald Trump. It is marked as the '2025 Critical Issues Survey' but really it is just a fund-raising campaign. The very first thing on the paper is a section titled 'Registration Validation'. You are given two options:

Check an amount for your donation ($35-$3500) or

Check the box that say you cannot afford to donate 'at that level right now', but you will enclose $15 to 'help pay for the cost of processing my Critical Issues Survey'. So basically, they are saying it costs more than $15 to 'process' the survey. I doubt it cost that much to throw it away after getting the payment charged.

I feel the same. Its not looking good.

I think we'll see some arrests soon, they are feeling the heat, but I feel like its going to be mostly for show. We'll get some red meat for the "MAGA or Death" crowd, but it won't amount to much.
The IRS, Canada/Greenland (Remember Gaza?) SS rebates, Iran, No taxes on X, X, or X, lotsa stuff that never should have come out of his mouth.
I feel like Elon has seen enough, he knows Congress isnt going to do much more than Dog and Pony show, much of his work for nothing.
To many RINO's being appointed, RFKjr has been muzzled, Pam a total disappointment.
Feel Like Kash and Dan B have been hung out to dry
They WILL lose the House in '26
So much opportunity squandered.

Could be the Swamp was just to much to overcome.

Not going to say its all roses, unicorns and cotton candy right now, but DAMN if it isn't an improvement over the past 4 years!

I still believe in his goals...I still believe he is a flaming asshole, which IMO, is what we need now! And will continue to need for some time.

As you know, I don't even like Donald Trump. But DAMN IF I DON'T LOVE HIS POLICIES!

Its only been 100 days...and he has started to right the wrongs. Does he have a lot more to do? Yes, of course and I believe much of it will happen.

Again, it is hard to fight when you don't have your back covered. RINO's are the problem. Not the demonturds.

Spain and Portugal achieved net zero on Monday, but not the way anyone would want to achieve net zero: By going back to the cavepeople times with no electricity. According to the New York Times: A major power outage hit Spain and Portugal on ...

Agreed. Democracks stick together, a few may stray but nothing like RINOs, they are the worse...John Cornyn is a good example, even the younger Dan Crenshaw, they are sellouts...speaking from a Texas.

So who can you replace them with, younger more Progressives, sadly? Each generation is weaker/spineless than the previous. Our educational system did this...IMO...even if you raise them right, once they go to college it is a crapshoot with most turning Progressive and to Socialism/Communism. Hard Work ethics goes out the window.

People are whining about 40 hour weeks these days...REALLY, I use to work 80 minimum. I even worked 3 days straight once, 22 hour days, only 2 hours to go home and shower. I remember sleeping the whole next day :) Heck I even had 3 jobs once.

Sadly, we have become a nation of Whiners...as most of the West has...

Many truly good points there, but tainted by this emotional inaccuracy...

"Most Americans" are NOT unable to pay for food and groceries and don't need to take out loans to do so.

The other parts of that post are excellent overall, but I am far more irritated and pissed at fucking CONGRESS than Trump.

Agree I’m wayyyyyy more pissed about the corrupt frauds in Congress. They are the #1 threat to the country

I like Trump. I get him. It’s not that. Hell I voted for him 3X

He’s a historic leader. But he’s once again surrounded himself with some very bad choices in staff. He’s not a hands on operations guy, he sets the tone/direction

Susie Wiles is the worst, she’s 110% RINO and his gatekeeper. She’s in it for herself and future positioning in FL. She’s a lobbyist for Christ sakes.

Flooding the zone those first 30 days might have been smart tactics but it’s puttering.

I do think much of it is the pushback by the Deep State Blob was more than anyone imagined. That and even I had no idea just how many traitors and grifters were in Congress.
