Trump again shows everyone who supported him that he'd sell them out in heartbeat. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, and the MAGA folks seem to slowly be accepting that fact.
White House Secures Foreign Steel for Ballroom Project
ArcelorMittal, a European steel maker, is donating tens of millions of dollars of foreign steel for President Trumpâs new ballroom.
President Trump has championed the U.S. steel industry, promising to strengthen
it and to impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals to shield manufacturers
from overseas competitors.
Yet the
White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated
foreign steel for Mr. Trumpâs $400 million ballroom project, according
to two people familiar with the plans who spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss sensitive and private conversations.
ArcelorMittal,
a Luxembourg-based firm that is the worldâs second-largest steel maker,
is providing steel for the structure of the ballroom project, the
people said. They said the steel was produced in Europe, where the bulk
of ArcelorMittalâs production is concentrated.
The
White House has not disclosed details of the donation, but Mr. Trump
said last October that he had been offered a donation of steel for the
ballroom valued at $37 million.
The presidentâs comments came just days before the White House made
adjustments to its tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal, by cutting
in half the tariffs applied to exports of automotive steel from its
Canadian plant.
Mr. Trump has boasted
that taxpayers are not on the hook for building his ballroom, the cost
of which has risen by 100 percent, according to the presidentâs own estimates. But the use of foreign steel for a ballroom built at the most recognizable building in the United States may anger domestic companies and unions that are trying to promote the U.S. industry.
It's funny how I've spent a few hours in Lubbock and the people were nice so for some reason this makes me sadder than if it had been a guy from El Paso just because I've never been to El Paso. Anyway: The Punisher/Snake hybrid meme is basically saying "I would like to shoot someone just to see what it feels like."
Pretty much. The snake specifically says: "I'm white and afraid of everything."

Abso-f-ing-lutely!! And more than a little dishonest on K.'s part for everything Kurtster claims to hate about communism, i.e. the state taking away his property, his rights and freedoms and subjugating individuals to the wanton rule of a one-party state is precisely what the orange man is doing. He fits right in with every other autocrat out there, including the leaders of communist nations for if there is one thing that all of these dolts are afraid of, it is pluralism, yet pluralism is precisely where freedom lies, even for you Kurtster.
Trump is the greatest communist agent in the history of your country. (edit: whether willingly, knowingly or just out of character is totally irrelevant) And all you can do is applaud the traitorous bastard.
No. That's the tactic of the Republicans: "Alternate Facts" and bald-faced lies and distractions to avoid honesty.
What reasonable folks are contending is that amongst the incredible volume of US citizens who know that this president is a loser are people who are also communists, socialists, democrats, republicans, greens, deists, atheists, caucasians, asians, black, hispanic, rich, poor, well-fed, starving, young, old, urban, rural, etc.
Finding some communists in there does not negate the anger and frustration that is evident throughout the nation at the loser rapist felon who is systematically destroying their home.

Fair enough. I was at work yesterday when I posted and had limited access to info. I was trying to find something generic without captions and also not posted on FB. The editor on the new site is tricky to use.
The Communists and their flags were very predominant during the No Kings protests. Here is one from NYC. Are people here (not you) denying that they were not there ?

Gotta love that Selective Morality. Please submit numbers on how many Police were beaten? How many Citizens were killed? As in January 6, 2021 and ICE in Minneapolis when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed?
Now watch carefully as Kurtster twists himself into another animal balloon to AVOID a direct answer. Just burp out with another "What About" squirrel fetch. It's a distraction, it's a red herring, it's the "What About" Man!!
That photo is at least ten years old, and judging by the signage in the background, it probably was taken in Germany or Austria, or maybe Zurich, but certainly not the US.

Hard to say with the Communists finally coming out and making a big play on the national stage during the big No Kings day protests. The polarization is getting more so than ever before.
